    The TRUTH You NEED to Know about HRT

    The Truth is HRT is SAFE to use for Menopause Relief and the benefits outweigh the risks. HRT can help rebuild bone, reduce the risk of Alzheimer's, heart disease, and colon cancer, and alleviate menopause symptoms like hot flushes. Nothing works like giving back what the body is missing. In this episode of Moving Through Menopause, Phillipa is joined by Dr. Malaika Woods, a Certified OBGYN and Functional Medicine Practitioner. FREE GIFT Download your Moving Through Menopause Guide https://precizion.co.uk/menopause-for-beginners/ We discuss the benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause management and debunk misconceptions about its risks: 📍The benefit of estrogen really outweighs any potential minimal risk 📍More women will experience Heart disease than breast cancer, although that's what we're afraid of 📍 HRT helps to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's - 30 to 50%. 📍HRT helps to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke - 30 to 50% 📍Oestrogen is the one thing that actually can rebuild bone.  All the other fancy treatments that reduce bone loss also have a lot of significant side effects. 📍HRT let's get your levels right 📍Phytoestrogens VS HRT  📍Holistic approaches to health Dr Woods emphasises the importance of Progesterone, Oestrogen and Testosterone in alleviating menopause symptoms and improving overall health. That said, no amount of HRT will combat detrimental lifestyle choices and we both agree that the best recipe for Menopause Management harnesses natural approaches including movement, nutrition, sleep, and managing stress alongside hormone support. There is not a ONE-SIZE FITS-ALL fix for Menopause and Dr Woods encourages personalised approaches that can help women thrive through menopause and beyond. 00:00 Introduction to Oestrogen Benefits 00:46 Meet Dr. Malaika Woods 01:41 Understanding Female Hormones 03:30 Getting the Hormone Levels Right in Peri and Postmenopause 09:36 Problems with the Women's Health Initiative Study 14:33 How does Functional Medicine approach Menopause Support 17:32 The Role of Testosterone for Women 18:42 Natural Approaches to Menopause 24:18 Personalised Medicine and Hormone Therapy 33:42 Conclusion and Resources Sincere thanks to Dr Malaika Woods https://drwoodswellness.com/ Disclaimer: Please note that any information we provide in this podcast does not constitute medical guidance.
