The menopause gold rush, and the questions you need to ask
Every week, someone asks me what I think about HRT. I can’t give you a yes or a no on that, it genuinely isn’t my call, but I can tell you something that rarely gets discussed: the body a hormone lands in is never identical from one woman to the next.
This article walks through the biology sitting underneath hormone decisions, from oestrogen’s relationship with your immune system to the three pathways your body uses to clear it (including a personal confession about my own Gilbert’s syndrome). I’ve also brought in GP and women’s health specialist Dr Sara Moran to answer the questions that sit firmly on the medical side of the conversation.
If you’ve ever felt confused, dismissed, or like you’re being offered more medication as the only answer, this is the piece I’d like you to read before your next appointment.
