Hormone Replacement Therapy: What Every Woman Needs to Know About Perimenopause and Menopause

Hormone Replacement Therapy is one of the most misunderstood topics in women’s health—and the confusion is costing women their quality of life.In this solo episode, Esther Blum breaks down what the science actually says about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), why most doctors aren’t trained to prescribe it, and how women can make confident, informed decisions during perimenopause and menopause—without fear or pressure.You’ll learn why bioidentical hormones are different from birth control pills, when the best time is to start HRT (and why it’s rarely “too late”), and how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone support sleep, bone density, brain health, heart health, and sexual function. Esther also explains vaginal estrogen, clotting risk, cancer concerns, and what to do if you choose not to use hormones.This episode is about empowerment—not fear-mongering. Whether you’re navigating symptoms now or thinking long-term about your health, this is the clarity every woman deserves before making decisions about her body.🎧 If you’ve ever been told “it’s just menopause” or felt dismissed by your provider, this episode will change the way you advocate for yourself.Connect with EstherWebsite:⁠ estherblum.com⁠Instagram: @gorgeousestherDisclaimer: This podcast is for education only and is not medical advice.
