from Taboo to Truth: Life & Sex After 50
In 1996 the Women's Health Initiative ran a study to determine whether or not Hormone Replacement Therapy (Menopause Hormone Therapy) was beneficial for preventing cancer, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. 5 years later, the study was abruptly stopped after concluding that there was an increased breast cancer and cardiovascular event risk. In this episode, I explain the findings, why there no longer valid and what you can do to help relieve your menopause symptoms. North American Menopause Society (NAMS)Women's Health Initiative Estrogen Matters with Avrum Bluming, MD & Carol Tavris, PhD Karen Bigman, a Sexual Health Alliance Certified Sex Educator, Life, and Menopause Coach, tackles the often-taboo subject of sexuality with a straightforward and candid approach. We explore the intricacies of sex during perimenopause, post-menopause, and andropause, offering insights and support for all those experiencing these transformative phases.
