Special Episode with Dr. Kelly Casperson on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Описание: Why do only 5% of women in the U.S. use hormone therapy today, when so many did just two decades ago?

In this special live episode, Dr. Kelly Casperson joins Sharon Kedar to uncover the truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) — and why fear, misinformation, and a single press release in 2002 changed everything.

Dr. Casperson, author of The Menopause Moment and You Are Not Broken, breaks down the real science of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone — and why these natural hormones are essential for brain, bone, and heart health.

They also discuss the FDA’s first-ever Menopause Panel, the push to remove outdated “black box” warnings, and the movement of women demanding better care and information.

This is a must-watch for anyone ready to age with power and rewrite the narrative on midlife health.
