HRT - The facts, the myths, the pros and cons The Hormone Hub
-
- Nutrition
No woman should be left to silently suffer the potentially debilitating symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. There are lots of options available to us - both naturally in the form of diet, lifestyle, stress management and also in the form of HRT or what is now known as MHT - Menopause Hormone Therapy.
Today I’m not talking for or against MHT and I talk about why it doesn’t have to be an either / or scenario.
I want to give you the facts so you can make informed decisions about what is right for YOU and YOUR body. No one knows your body better than you do and you also have your own personal threshold of what symptoms you’re prepared to put up with.
We talk about the different types of Hormone Therapy, what type of Hormone Therapy is appropriate for the different stages of perimenopause and menopause - the benefits and also the downsides or risks associated.
In this episode we talk about:
Diet and lifestyle considerations, whether you’re choosing to use MHT or not Who MHT is suitable for and when it’s appropriate to use it Why MHT should never be one size fits all. We look at the 3 different options available, depending on where you’re at in your peri/menopause journey The risks and downsides of MHT. Links and resources:
