“If HRT is so helpful… why don’t all providers offer it?”
Let’s talk about the real reason.
🗓️ Back in 2002, a major study came out suggesting that women on HRT for more than 5 years had a higher risk of breast cancer. It made headlines — and scared both patients and providers.
Overnight, HRT prescriptions dropped dramatically. Women were left without options. And the conversation around hormone health nearly disappeared.
But here’s the thing:
That study? It had major flaws.
🚫 It didn’t focus on only bioidentical hormones
🚫 It didn’t consider age, type of HRT, lifestyle, or duration
🚫 It lumped all women, all hormones, all risks — into one conclusion
Fast forward to now, and we know better.
✅ Bioidentical HRT, when used correctly, is a safe and powerful tool.
✅ Personalized care matters. You have to consider the risk and benefits with every patient.
✅ It’s time to reclaim this conversation.
Hormone Replacement Therapy deserves a seat at the table — especially when it’s done thoughtfully, with YOU at the center.
