Wow, it was great listening to her perspective on HRT. If I'm not mistaken, she said that, as for heart attack, stroke and dementia, the benefits of using HRT do not out weight the risks, and that is the opposite of what I've been hearing with the doctors on you tube. So now I'm a bit more confused.
I have dense breasts and am on HRT; no problem thus far. I think there are many lifestyle factors plus age, that are higher risk factors for BC than HRT but they are rarely talked about in the media. The big boogeyman about BC then incorrectly ends up being HRT.
The last guy said the opposite, re: yes amazing for dementia, bone fractures, he raved, he did say start within 10 years, so this is the opposite of what he said, I will still get my oestradiol anyway, it was just that I heard people, drs. on utube warning of ovarian cancer!🎉🎉
Consider transdermal estrogen and progesterone up to the average age of menopause. You can be gradually, over several months from your hormones at the average age of menopause. From my personal experience I can tell you that stopping hormones cold can cause severe withdrawal symptoms. Good luck, remembrr once your estrogen drops off you are at increased risk of heart attack AND you will inevitably you will lose bone mass and this could cause severe osteoporosis by the time you are around 60.
@ones4849 Hi Linda, check out what she said at the end of the video. She said Don't initiate (HRT)for the express purpose for preventing heart attack, stroke, dementia and some cancers, because the risk do not outweigh the benefits. So now I'm confused because I, like you, heard just the opposite from other you tube doctors.
I loved the interview, always enjoy your videos 🫶🫶🫶such an important topic & always learn something. Thank you so much for all the time you put in 2 educate us 🙏 💜
Glad to hear Dr. Manson urging caution about bioidenticals and the "non-Premarin" class of estrogens since no large scale trials have proven their superiority. Indeed, the KEEPS trial which she helped lead found that, compared to Premarin, transdermal estradiol actually WORSENED the effects of pericardial fat accumulation on coronary calcification, suggesting that this formulation might pose unique cardiac risks different from Premarin. Also glad to see that she defended the WHI, which has been unfairly criticized as a flawed study. Well its critics would be singing a different tune if it had produced the results they wanted. But it was a very well done trial that was state-of-the-art at the time. Looked at the the most commonly used hormone therapies (Premarin/Prempro) and studied them across all ages and demographics, reflecting the prevailing practice and "wisdom" of the time -> they're good for all menopausal women without contraindications, regardless if they have symptoms or not.
I recommend the book “Estrogen Matters” to you, by oncologist Avrum Bluming MD and social psychologist Carol Tavris PhD, for everything you need to know about the WHI and HRT.
