145 HRT - The Answer to All of Our Menopause ‘Ills’?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll probably know that HRT has been having a bit of a moment recently. Whether its Davina’s documentary about it or stories that pop up every now and again about HRT shortages and women left without, there is no doubt that in the last couple of years, the menopause and HRT has definitely come up on our radar.

In fact, there are some that think that every woman should be on HRT to protect us against a host of issues and diseases as we age. And most certainly, we have been given the message that HRT could well be the saviour for us - whether its symptoms we’re currently experiencing, or future proofing our minds and bodies.

So I wanted to get into this today and talk a bit about HRT - is it in fact the answer to all our ills, or are there some other things we should maybe be considering along the way too?

We’ll be getting into:

-A few caveats around this sometimes controversial topic!

-My personal (and I emphasise PERSONAL) take on HRT

-What exactly is HRT and how is it usually prescribed

-The current viewpoints on HRT

-The things I think all of us should be considering when we’re applying these viewpoints to ourselves, to our own lives and to our own experiences
