The Menopause Revolution: Why Medical Experts Are Changing Their Minds About HRT with Dr Cat Brown
Manage episode 449762318 series 3291058
'I thought life would be good until you turned 50' - even board-certified gynecologists get surprised by menopause!
In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Cat Brown challenges everything you thought you knew about hormones, aging, and women's health.
Discover why leading doctors are embracing HRT, learn the subtle signs of perimenopause you might be missing, and find out why the 'dangerous hormone therapy' story of the past has been completely rewritten.
Whether you're 35 or 55, this conversation about modern menopause care could change how you think about your hormonal health forever. Hit play to learn why women doctors are choosing HRT for themselves and why the second half of life might just be your best yet! 💪
Three core ideas from the podcast:
- Menopause is a gradual transition that can begin up to a decade before the final period, with subtle symptoms like brain fog, mood changes, and sleep disruption often being dismissed as stress or fatigue.
- The medical community's stance on HRT has evolved significantly, with new research showing that bioidentical hormones, when started at the right time (before 60), can protect against heart disease, dementia, and other age-related conditions.
- Women shouldn't view menopause as a decline but rather as an opportunity to pause, reflect, and prioritize self-care, potentially making the second half of life even better than the first.
