While many women avoid hormone therapy out of fear, that decision can come with its own risks.

Heart disease: Estradiol protects the cardiovascular system via plaque prevention/reduction.
Bone loss & fractures: Without estrogen, osteoporosis risk rises.
Cognitive decline: Low estrogen has been linked to dementia and memory issues.
Quality of life: Hot flashes, insomnia, depression, sexual dysfunction, vaginal atrophy or dryness, aging skin and hair appearance.

All which impact daily life and long-term health.

In 2018, a groundbreaking book, Estrogen Matters, was published by Avrum Bluming, MD, and Carol Tavris, PhD. Dr. Bluming - an oncologist who spent decades treating breast cancer in an attempt to clarify “Why Taking Hormones in Menopause Can Improve Women's Well-Being and Lengthen Their Lives - Without Raising the Risk of Breast Cancer.”

Their conclusions? Estrogen, specifically estradiol therapy is the most effective treatment for menopausal symptoms. For many women, the benefits outweigh the risks. Estrogen-only therapy in the WHI actually showed a reduced risk of breast cancer.

Myth: "All hormones are the same."

Fact: There’s a difference between synthetically produced hormones and bioidentical hormones that match the body’s natural estrogen and progesterone.

Older studies often used synthetic forms.
Today’s bioidentical hormone therapy offers improved safety profiles and more natural body responses.

This study tracks with that intuition, and the results are fascinating.

Family history is not the same as personal risk.

Genes like BRCA do increase risk, but hormone therapy alone doesn’t automatically add to it. Lifestyle, weight, alcohol intake, and other factors also play a strong role in overall risk. For many women with a family history, HRT could still be a safe and effective option.

In 2002, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) released a study suggesting that hormone replacement therapy increased the risk of breast cancer.

Media headlines spread fear worldwide. Doctors stopped prescribing HRT. Women stopped taking it.

But here’s what wasn’t shared:
The study ended early without published full available data.
Many risks were overstated as data was misinterpreted (with several unanswered public calls for redaction!)
The drugs used for treatment were synthetics, not naturally occurring hormones. (i.e. Premarin “pregnant mare urine”).

Later reanalysis showed that, for most women, HRT does not increase breast cancer risk—and in some cases, may lower it. Despite these corrections, the fear has lingered. That’s why we’re here to set the record straight!

When it comes to HRT, there are many myths and misconceptions to combat, because the practice of medicine takes DECADES to catch up to scientific knowledge.

It is your responsibility to advocate for yourself and find the select few providers who are thoroughly following the evidence and practicing accordingly. What providers learned in medical school isn't always going to cut it.

In reality, Testosterone reduces breast cancer risk by decreasing breast cell proliferation (growth) and preventing excessive estradiol stimulation of breast tissue. Additionally, TRT in women is shown to reduce risk of other diseases, such as osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s and dementia.
