On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m joined by Dr. Sharon Malone, host of The Second Opinion podcast and Chief Medical Advisor at Alloy Women’s Health. We discuss how menopause and hormone therapy became so misunderstood, the real story behind the Women’s Health Initiative study, and why a more individualized, prevention-focused approach to women’s health is long overdue. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We explore: Why so many women enter perimenopause completely unprepared—and how symptoms can begin years before menopause officially starts What the Women’s Health Initiative actually found, and how one medical narrative reshaped women’s healthcare for decades How menopause affects far more than reproduction, including the brain, heart, sleep, metabolism, and bone health What you should know about hormone therapy today, including timing, individualized treatment, and understanding risk in context The daily habits that still matter most for healthy aging, whether or not you choose hormone therapy Midlife health should never be reduced to “just deal with it.” The more women understand what’s happening inside their bodies, the earlier they can take steps to protect their long-term health and quality of life.
