In this episode, I’m answering a brilliant set of questions from a listener (we’re calling her “Ella”) who’s feeling overwhelmed and confused about HRT—what it is, when to consider it, and whether it’s right for her. If you’ve ever wondered about the difference between HRT, MHT, and HT, or heard mixed messages from friends, doctors, or the media, this episode will help you sort fact from fiction.

Whilst I am by no means a medical doctor or in any way qualified to advise on HRT and whether or not it is right for YOU, I can share my knowledge of what it is, to help you better understand it and speak to your doctor about it if and when you want to.

In this episode, I discuss:

• The difference between HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) and MHT (Menopause Hormone Therapy)
• Why one friend might thrive on HRT while another doesn’t
• The importance of body-identical vs synthetic hormones
• Speaking with your doctor about whether you need HRT and how to know if you’re a good candidate
• How long medical experts say you can safely take HRT (hint: it’s likely longer than you think)
• My recent personal experience navigating hormone therapy with Dr Mandy Leonhardt

Whether you’re curious, concerned, or completely new to the topic, this episode gives you a grounded, balanced, and compassionate basic introduction to hormone therapy in perimenopause and beyond.

Listen now and feel empowered to speak with your doctor to make the right decision for your body.
