In Part 2 of our menopause series, we shift the focus to treatments—covering both conventional and holistic strategies to help women manage this transition with confidence and clarity. We break down the latest research on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including different types, dosages, and delivery methods (oral vs. transdermal), and how each impacts cardiovascular health, cognition, breast cancer risk, and bone density. You’ll also learn about non-hormonal options like acupuncture, nutrition, and lifestyle changes for managing hot flashes, insomnia, and mood changes. We even touch on emerging therapies like testosterone and special considerations for women with complex medical histories, such as heart disease or BRCA mutations.

Whether you're exploring alternatives to HRT or just want a deeper understanding of your options, this episode offers science-backed guidance to help you take control of your menopause journey.
