*Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) safe for you?*
HRT clinics are everywhere, touting hormone therapy as the cure-all for menopause, aches, and every woe. But what if prescribing hormones without looking at your *individual genetic makeup* is actually “sloppy healthcare”?
In this deep-dive episode, Dr. Shayna and Dr. April break down the controversial world of hormone replacement therapy. Dr. April shares her unique approach of using *genetic testing* to assess your actual risk for breast cancer and other complications. You’ll learn why a doctor’s *hesitation* to prescribe HRT is a sign of a good clinician, which specific gene variations can put you at high risk for estrogen-driven cancers, and how simple lifestyle changes are often the most powerful medicine.
This is the future of individualized care for menopause and hormonal health.
