If you’re a woman in your 40s or 50s, chances are you’ve heard completely conflicting information about hormone replacement therapy. Is HRT safe? Does it cause breast cancer? What are bioidentical hormones? And how do you know if hormone therapy might be right for you? In this episode, Jenny breaks down what happens to your hormones as you move through perimenopause and menopause, what HRT actually is, and some of the ways hormone therapy may help with symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, vaginal dryness, and more.Jenny also takes a closer look at the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study that dramatically changed the conversation around hormone therapy and shares why she personally chose to use HRT after doing her own research and working with her healthcare providers. Most importantly, this episode isn’t about telling you whether you should or shouldn’t take hormones. It’s about helping you better understand your options, ask informed questions, and recognize that HRT is only one tool in a much bigger toolbox.Save your spot for the From Chaos to Calm Masterclass here: https://www.simplifiedlifestylecoaching.com/masterclassConnect with Jenny here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennyaz_simple/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SimplifiedLifestyleCoachingLearn more at https://www.simplifiedlifestylecoaching.com/Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended to substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
