From Patches to Pills: A Guide To Understanding Your HRT (Hormone Therapy) Choices - Zora Benhamou
What does HRT mean and how do I choose the formula that’s right for me?
In this solo episode, I’m unpacking one of the most confusing parts of hormone therapy: the different delivery methods. From patches to pills to creams, I’ll walk you through what’s bioidentical, what isn’t, and what you really need to know to make informed choices.
We cover:
-
Why the WHI study scared a generation of women and what it really showed
-
The difference between FDA- and EMA-approved, compounded, bioidentical, and synthetic hormones
-
The 3 types of natural estrogen (E1, E2, E3) and how they’re used in therapy
-
Oral estrogen and progesterone: pros, cons, and brand examples
-
Transdermal patches, gels, creams, and sprays and which women like the most
-
Cost and access: NHS, FDA, EMA, compounded, and private prescriptions
By the end, you’ll have a clear picture of the safest and most effective delivery methods, so you can feel confident talking to your doctor about what’s right for you.
