For years, women experiencing perimenopause and menopause have suffered through symptoms that were often dismissed as non-existent, not as severe as described, or just a normal part of aging. Fortunately, several practitioners are on a mission to change this narrative and help women reclaim optimal health and vitality.

Today on the Dhru Purohit Show, we have a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with several podcast guests about hormone replacement therapy and the changes women undergo during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Sara Gottfried explains why women experience shifts and how managing insulin resistance and muscle composition can unlock better health in mid-life. Dr. Mary Claire Haver shares insights on hormone replacement therapy and how to determine if it’s right for you. Dr. Lisa Mosconi discusses powerful research on hormone replacement therapy and brain health, highlighting its importance since women are more susceptible to Alzheimer’s after menopause. If you are looking for the latest research on hormone replacement therapy and its potential benefits, this episode is for you.
