STOP! Have you been told you're "too old" to start or continue Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)? It's time to set the record straight and end the decades of dismissal women face in midlife.
In this essential episode, Andrea is joined by the highly respected OBGYN and passionate advocate, Dr. Jordan Emont, to cut through the noise on later-life HRT (for women 60+ and 65+). We dive into the controversial "10-year rule," clarify the critical safety differences between oral and transdermal estrogen, and reveal the compelling data that supports using hormones for longevity and disease prevention, even years after menopause.
The Myth: Where the arbitrary "10-year cutoff" for HRT originated and why modern medicine now recognizes it as outdated.
Safety Data: The crucial difference between oral vs. transdermal estrogen and clot risk (why patches are the safer choice for late starts).
Later-Life Benefits: Why HRT remains one of the best tools for osteoporosis prevention and reducing fracture risk, regardless of your age.
Longevity: Data indicating that women who continue HRT beyond 65 have better long-term health outcomes.
Testosterone: The benefits of adding testosterone for energy, cognitive function, and muscle mass in later life.
The Systemic Problem: Dr. Emont’s story about a pharmacist who gave his patient conflicting, fear-based advice.
Final Non-Negotiable Tip: Dr. Emont’s ultimate, safest form of estrogen every woman should consider for long-term vaginal and urinary tract health.
