Dr Louise Newson challenges the belief that HRT automatically increases breast cancer risk—and explains why the type of hormone, the dose, and the individual woman all matter.
She discusses:
What the famous 2002 study actually found
Why estrogen-only and combined HRT can have different risks
Why some women need higher doses because they do not absorb patches or gels properly
Why menopause symptoms can include joint pain, palpitations, insomnia, low mood and brain fog
Why women are still being prescribed antidepressants instead of hormones
The difference between progesterone and synthetic progestogens
Why a blood test may not tell the whole story
Whether HRT can protect future bone and heart health
This is a frank conversation about medical misinformation, women being dismissed, and why “one dose fits all” medicine may be failing women.
