My Experience with HRT
Hormone replacement therapy is all over the media right now for good reason. We are finally understanding more about the powerful positive effects HRT can have on many women around the globe.
But what does HRT actually do and what does it look like for certain individuals?
In this episode of Meet Your Body, you'll hear firsthand Jessica's personal experience using HRT over the past six months. She first explains in simplified terms what HRT is and the purpose of using it, including the vital roll estrogen plays in a woman's health. She then goes on to explain how she came to the decision to use HRT, what form she's using, the symptoms that led her to try it and how she came to that decision with her history of endometriosis and breast cancer.
Grab a coffee and your earbuds for this personal and informative episode about women's health and HRT!
