The inside story on its risks and occasional rewards

Hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms has been around for decades. Despite many women rejecting HRT after news of its health risks, we think it’s still one of the most over-prescribed drugs in America.

The controversy over HRT diverts us from the basic question: is there a more natural alternative that is still effective? We think the answer to that question is yes.

But make no mistake: a small percentage of women need hormone replacement therapy. You may be one of those women, especially if you have had a hysterectomy before menopause.

But the idea of “replacing” women’s hormones that are naturally supposed to decline anyway will continue to be controversial. HRT was oversold for years as a kind of anti-aging miracle. We know better today.
