In our conversation she debunks beliefs about hormone therapy, later life libido, and provides invaluable information that will help us be our own advocate. This is a must listen. So let’s get started…oh and I do get started with a bit of a blooper, but I decided not to edit it out. I’m not here to be perfect!
Not be missed take-ways:
1. It’s ok to start with a blooper!
2. Dr. Liz likes to call Hormone Replacement Therapy: Hormone Replenishment Therapy.
3. The correct types of hormones are not only safe but are beneficial to our health and lower our risk of dying, cancer and more.
4. The WHI: Women’s Health Initiative, the study that came out in 2002 that got everyone thinking that hormones increase the risk of breast cancer, used the wrong types of hormones, and in the wrong way.
5. There was a study done that looked at the average delay between the publication of information and now long until doctor’s start using the information and they found an average delay of 17 years.
6. Libido isn’t only about sex. It’s about motivation, drive….a lot of things have to be in place to have a good libido.
7. It is a myth that it’s inevitable that your libido goes down as you get older.
8. Signs of menopause…
9. There is a higher mortality rate from hip fracture than there is from breast cancer.
And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…
