Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy!It is very popular to vilify estrogen these days. The most obvious reason is the result of several sensationalized interpretations of the famous WHI (Women’s Health Initiative) “Prempro” data first out in 2002. While the attempt to objectify the effects of post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy is highly admirable, confusion and inappropriate interpretations have resulted in unprecedented fear of “all things estrogen.” This has created huge challenges for those of us who are interested in the wellness and education of women.
