Millions of women stopped taking hormones because of a misread study. Dr. Sharon Malone joins Dr. Mark Hyman on the Dr. Hyman Show podcast and reveals the truth about HRT safety, menopause, and the Women's Health Initiative. For far too long, the narrative surrounding menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been driven by fear and misunderstanding. Following the highly publicized Women’s Health Initiative, millions of women stopped taking hormones almost overnight. But what if the data from that misread study was completely blown out of proportion? In this episode, Dr. Sharon Malone joins Dr. Mark Hyman to set the record straight on the safety and efficacy of hormone therapy. They break down why the FDA finally removed the black box warning for hormones, the biological reality of perimenopause, and how estrogen impacts everything from brain health to cardiovascular protection, metabolism, and sleep. It’s time to stop telling women to "just deal with" their midlife health changes. Whether you are curious about the proper timing of menopause treatment, the difference between bioidentical hormones and synthetics, or the daily habits necessary for healthy aging, this conversation equips you with the evidence-based facts you need to protect your long-term vitality. ⁠View Show Notes From This Episode⁠ https://drhyman.com/blogs/content/podcast-ep1145 Sign up for Dr. Hyman’s Brainshaping Academy to learn how to nourish the biological systems that support your mental, emotional, and cognitive health https://drhyman.com/products/brainshaping?utm_source=dr_hyman_show&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=may_27&utm_content=link ⁠Get Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hyman⁠ ⁠https://drhyman.com/pages/picks?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast⁠ ⁠Sign Up for Dr. Hyman’s Weekly Longevity Journal⁠ ⁠https://drhyman.com/pages/longevity?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast⁠ ⁠Join the 10-Day Detox to Reset Your Health⁠ ⁠https://drhyman.com/pages/10-day-detox⁠ ⁠Join the Hyman Hive for Expert Support and Real Results⁠ ⁠https://drhyman.com/pages/hyman-hive⁠ This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, Pique, Perfect Amino, Rho, Sunlighten and BIOptimizers.
