Estrogen, Part 2: Estrogen Therapy — Benefits, Risks & How It's Done

from The Balanced Dose Podcast

Last episode mapped what estrogen does — this one is about how to replace it. We give an honest, practical guide to estrogen therapy: the symptom relief, bone protection, and cardiovascular benefits of estradiol, plus the oral-vs-transdermal question most people get backwards. Oral estradiol's first pass through the liver is what delivers the heart benefits, and the old clot and stroke warnings came from Premarin, not estradiol. We break down who therapy is really for, why oral is the default for most healthy women near menopause, and when transdermal makes sense — so you can stop assuming a patch is automatically safer and ask whether oral estradiol is right for you.#bhrt #hormones #supplements #health #functionalmedicine https://www.fireflymedical.net https://www.balanceddose.com @fireflymedicalhttps://www.fireflymedical.net https://www.balanceddose.com @fireflymedical
