Menopause is inevitable, suffering through it is not. 

In this game-changing episode, world-renowned OB/GYN Dr. Sharon Malone breaks down the myths, fears, and facts surrounding hormone therapy (HRT) and how misinformation has left millions of women needlessly struggling with their health.

From the studies that gave estrogen a bad name to the life-changing benefits of HRT for heart, brain, and bone health—Dr. Malone gives you the science-backed truth every woman needs to hear to take control of their health.

What you’ll learn:

-Why perimenopause is the most misunderstood stage of menopause (and how to know if you're in it!)

-Can you really still get pregnant during perimenopause? Dr. Sharon Malone shares her personal story and sets the record straight.

-How one study changed women's relationship with estrogen for decades and why it still matters today.

-Does hormone therapy cause breast cancer? What today's science truly reveals about hormone therapy and the risk to your health.

-Why cardiovascular disease (not breast cancer) is the number one health threat for women, and how estrogen plays a surprising role.

-The similarities and differences between hormone therapy and birth control.

-Who's actually eligible for hormone therapy (more women qualify than you think!).

-Why African American and Hispanic women have a different menopause experience and what it means for treatment.

-How younger women can proactively prepare for menopause starting now

If you’ve ever felt lost or conflicted about hormone therapy, this episode is for you. Dr. Malone delivers unfiltered, straight-talking advice to help you make the best decision for your body, your health and your future.
