Hormone replacement safe

[00:00:00] I want to talk again about hormones because there's so much misconceptions. So this is gonna be a quick one. 

So without getting into the nitty gritty today about hormone replacement, I wanna just say a word about whether or not it's. Safe and the answer is yes, and meaning is driving safe as we talk about it a lot. Driving is safe and you have to be cautious about certain things. Hormone replacement, H R T, which largely applies to estrogen, progesterone, sometimes women are only on estrogen if they no longer have a uterus. 

Most of the time they take both. If they have a uterus. Some people, in addition, take a little bit of testosterone. People with uteruses who are no longer women will also need it and use it for various reasons. So there are a lot of implications and applications of hormone replacement. That can be excellent. 

Should everyone be on it? No, because there are some risks to it. But should no one be on it like we were taught back in the early two thousands when the W H I, the Women's [00:01:00] Health Initiative study, No, we should not have egregiously taken every person off of their hormones. Hormones can be amazing. They can help you feel good. 

They can help you look younger potentially, and they can help the systems in your body function as they were meant to function. That said, you have to talk to your doctor and decide if it's the right thing for you. There are so many people who are willing to talk openly about this. Try them.
