Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) In Menopause Safe? What About Breast Cancer Risk?

  In this Wild Wisdom Show episode I tackle the controversial topic of whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) increases your risk of breast cancer if used for treatment of hot flashes, night sweats and other menopause difficulties.    If you are heading into or experiencing menopause, this is an episode you don't want to miss!   In this Wild Wisdom episode, you’ll learn about:  ✅ the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study that triggered the concern about HRT causing breast cancer, and the results of follow-up studies that changed researcher's opinions on the breast cancer risk  ✅ the difference between the safety of bioidentical vs conventional HRT on breast cancer risk ✅ when is the best time to use HRT to minimize your risk of breast cancer, and  ✅ whether you should avoid HRT if you have a family or personal history of breast cancer. AND more!    ⚠️Spoiler alert: I do intend on taking HRT when I transition into menopause, and this conversation will help shed the light on why!  🙏🏿I trust you’ll get so much value out of this episode.    Please share with someone you care about who craves to know what the latest research-backed science has to say at the intersection of ancient wisdom!    To your vibrant health,  Dr. Patricia Mills, Wholistic MD  Specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation  Practicing Functional Medicine    😍 PS: Here's my gift to you!
