Reverse Bone Loss, Help Manage Perimenopause, Menopause, Weight, Depression, + Feel Better With HRT | Dr. Lorraine Maita

214: Every single woman needs to listen to this episode....and I don't say that lightly! Today I am talking with Dr. Lorraine Maita who specializes in hormone replacement therapy and we discuss the reasons why women should go on HRT, such as not only helping bone loss but actually reversing it, perimenopause, menopause, helping you get pregnant and carry a child to term, and what hormones do for our body beyond, reproduction such as sleep, depression, and even digestion. We also talk about the best ways to get your hormones tested because blood just isn't enough to measure. Even the methods to take estrogen are important and taking the pill is actually not recommended, so we talk about the safest ways to do that and if there are any risks involved in hormone replacement therapy. I know there's a lot of stigma around it especially when it comes to breast cancer, so we get into that as well. Whether you are 20 or 80 years old, you need to be informed in what we discuss in this episode and it can certainly help every single person who listens, I can guarantee that.
