87: Your HRT questions answered!

After hosting an Ask Me Anything regarding Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) on Instagram, Tara's compiled your questions together and sits down on this episode of the HBS podcast to answer them one by one.

Here are some of the questions we received:

I'm starting on Estrogen but my doctor has said that I don't need progesterone to counter it, is that true?
I currently have a Mirena for lighter flowing cramps, can I take HRT alongside?
Is BHRT better than HRT?
Is there a maximum dose for progesterone?
Does it matter which progesterone HRT is used, oral pills or vaginal compounded cream?
Will I gain weight with estrogen?
A testosterone pellets safe?
If supplementing with testosterone, do you need also supplement EMP as well?
My mom had breast cancer, and I am terrified to go on HRT; should I worry?
What are your thoughts on Vitex?
