You're navigating menopause and want solid science instead of fear-mongering about hormone therapy.
You've been told to avoid HRT but suspect the story doesn't add up and need actual data to make your own call.
You distrust mainstream health narratives and want to understand how a landmark study's findings got misrepresented.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your health information in simple soundbites rather than detailed scientific argument.
You're looking for natural remedy alternatives to hormones. this book critiques those rather than endorsing them.

About this book

This 2024 revised and updated edition examines hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and its role in treating menopause. For years, HRT was the standard medical approach to alleviating menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes and brain fog, while also reducing the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's, and osteoporosis. However, after the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) announced findings suggesting an increased breast cancer risk for women taking HRT, the treatment fell out of favor. Drs. Bluming and Tavris examine the WHI study's methodology and conclusions, arguing that the data was distorted to overstate estrogen's potential harms. This edition includes evidence addressing the WHI's breast cancer claims, a list of the study's retractions, updated research on estrogen's effects on heart, brain, bones, and longevity, and a review of alternative products and medications marketed for menopausal symptoms. The book aims to provide women with evidence to make informed decisions about their health during menopause.
