We’ve decided to take the bull by the horns and tackle the huge topic of HRT. In this episode we discuss which hormones we’re actually talking about that tend to flip about and go all wonky.

We talk about tweaking the type, dose and route… taking an individualised approach and what is the ‘window of opportunity’.

We run through the benefits and risks, touching on why you might not want to take HRT, for varying reasons.

Then there’s the ever-confusing medical terminology - what do we mean by bio-identical hormones and body identical hormones.

We’re delighted to be joined by our guest for this episode, Dr Becky Smithson, who gives us an insight into a GPs perspective.
