You’ve probably seen the shift in messaging around hormone therapy.
And it’s true, the conversation has changed.
For many women, hormone therapy is safer than previously believed, particularly when started earlier in menopause.
But that does not mean it’s universally safe.
The reality is more nuanced:
• timing matters
• formulation matters
• individual risk matters
This is where generalized headlines fall short.
The goal is not to avoid hormone therapy, and it’s not to use it blindly.
It’s to use it thoughtfully, based on the right patient and the right context.
