If you have concerns or you're confused about whether hormone therapy is right for you, then this interview is for you.

Your host, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, interviews Dr. Tara Scott, an OB/GYN-turned integrative and functional medicine specialist focused on evidence-based hormone therapy and menopause care. They debunk common myths, explain the real risks and benefits of different hormone options, and stress the importance of individualized care. The episode offers reassurance and practical guidance.

Topics:

• The 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study caused confusion about hormone therapy, but newer research shows it is safer and more beneficial, especially when started early in menopause.
• Modern hormone therapy with bioidentical hormones like estrogen patches and progesterone pills can alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep problems, and brain fog, and may also benefit bone and heart health.
• Not all hormone therapies are equal: pills carry higher risks like blood clots, while patches and topical methods are safer and align more naturally with your body.
• Birth control pills and IUDs are not true hormone replacements; they contain different progestins that don’t mimic natural hormones and may cause side effects.
• Most women can safely use hormone therapy, even after some cancers. Few health conditions exclude hormone use, so consult a healthcare provider for a personalized review.
• Vaginal estrogen treats local symptoms like dryness, while DHEA is a safe option for some women, including breast cancer survivors, to alleviate menopausal symptoms.
• Get full, personalized information about your options and don’t accept a simple “no” from your provider about hormone therapy.

If you’re in perimenopause or menopause and struggling with symptoms, there ARE updated and safer hormone therapy options available—don’t be afraid to ask!
