Dr. Felice Gersh, Dr. Daved Rosensweet, Dr. Lindsey Berkson, and Dr. Julie Taguchi join us in this episode. Today, we're going deep into the complex world of HRT for women with these four leading experts, debating the nuances of different estrogen types and their roles in the body. We discuss the pros and cons of estradiol-only treatments versus combined approaches with estriol, and the importance of maintaining natural hormone rhythms. We'll help you understand how specialized hormone ratios might offer protective benefits, and check out pioneering studies that have shaped modern hormone therapies.
