Perimenopause Simplified Claudia Petrilli

In this episode, we covered:
Ramifications of low hormones Health benefits of replacing hormones Different terms for hormone replacement therapy Difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones Fears about hormone replacement therapy  Women’s Health Initiative Study  Contraindications for HRT Over-the-counter hormones vs. prescription FDA-approved vs. compounded In last week’s episode, I shared my journey with hormone replacement therapy and why I use it. If you haven’t listened to that, I highly recommend you go back and do so. 
Today, I want to dive a bit deeper into hormone replacement therapy, because there’s a lot of controversy around it.
