Myths, Misconceptions, and Answers: Hormone Therapy in Perimenopause and Menopause
Hormone therapy may be one of the most misunderstood topics in women’s health.
From fears about breast cancer and weight gain to confusion around “bio-identical” hormones, social media influencer misinformation, and outdated research, many women are left overwhelmed, under-informed, and unsure who to trust.
This evidence-based, no-nonsense talk breaks down what we actually know about hormone therapy in perimenopause and menopause — including who may benefit, what the risks really look like, and why the conversation is far more nuanced than most of us have been told.
We’ll cover:
• the difference between perimenopause and menopause
• common symptoms hormone therapy may help with
• myths vs. facts about hormone therapy safety, including breast cancer risk
• estrogen, progesterone, and “bioidentical” hormones explained
• who may or may not be a candidate for hormone therapy
• why many of us are not “too young” for hormone therapy
• how to advocate for yourself when seeking care
Expect science-backed information, misconception myth-busting, hot takes, and a deeply honest conversation about one of the biggest transitions in women’s health.
Because women deserve better than fear, confusion, and to “just live with it.”
