Perimenopause & Hormone Replacement Therapy: What’s Really Happening to Your Body?

We’re diving into a topic that’s been debated, misunderstood, intimidating and sometimes downright confusing: hormone replacement therapy. Should we take it? Should we avoid it? And how do we know what’s best for our bodies? Hormones affect everything in our bodies, but few of us know what those hormones are actually doing in our bodies and the symptoms when your hormones start to decline (hot flashes, anxiety, weight gain, and more.) We’re thrilled to be joined by Dr. Sandy Rice, a physician with over 35 years of experience caring for menopausal women and the author of The Estrogen Question. Her book is a comprehensive guide to hormone replacement therapy, exploring the benefits, risks, and cutting-edge research on how estrogen affects everything from chronic disease risk to mental health. Dr. Rice is here to arm us with the knowledge we need to advocate for ourselves and make informed decisions about our health.
