23. Three Hot Takes With Dr. Jen Gunter! The Truth About (Menopause) Supplements, Updates on How Long You Can Safely Use Hormone Therapy, and Is “The Pill” Out With Gen Z?

Supplements have been around for a long time with controversy among many doctors and researchers, but these days, there is an explosion of Menopause Supplements. Are they effective or just snake oil? How are they actually manufactured? How much money is actually being made? Can you automatically trust a doctor who is selling a supplement? Dr. Jen Gunter takes on the supplement industry and uncovers just how easy and dubious supplement manufacturing really is. She also discusses the latest update on how long you can safely be on menopause hormone therapy. Finally, while hormone therapy is in, has Gen Z decided that the birth control pill is out? What's behind the latest social media trend of saying no to The Pill by the younger generation of women? Is it bad for your health or just dangerous propaganda? These questions and more are answered by the internet's favourite myth-busting OB/GYN, Dr. Jen Gunter.
