Summary
Hormone therapy gets confusing fast, especially when you're over 40 and everyone seems to have a different rule, warning or opinion. Many of the most common questions about it come from gaps in how it's explained. When nuance is missing, women are left trying to make decisions without the full picture. In this Hello Hormones episode, I'm gonna pick the nine questions I hear all the time and go over them one by one with you. We talk about progesterone versus progestins, patch myths, vaginal hormone options and what actually matters when it comes to blood pressure and HRT. Tune in.
