In this episode of The Common Sense MD, Dr. Tom Rogers dives deep into the misunderstood and often controversial world of women's hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Drawing from nearly two decades of his clinical experience at Performance Medicine, Dr. Rogers unpacks the latest research, recent FDA movements, and the shifting narrative around bioidentical hormones for women—especially during and after menopause.
Inspired by a recent talk featuring Dr. Marty Makary (link below), the new head of the FDA and a forward-thinking advocate for patient-first healthcare, Dr. Rogers sets the record straight on outdated myths that have kept millions of women from receiving hormone therapy. He addresses the legacy of the Women's Health Initiative study, clarifies the truth behind black box warnings, and highlights the substantial benefits of HRT, including reduced risks of heart attack, dementia, osteoporosis, and more.
Whether you’re a patient, provider, or simply someone interested in women’s health, this episode offers clarity, hope, and a much-needed push toward redemption for women’s hormone therapy. Tune in for practical insight, trusted expertise, and the call to rethink menopause care for a healthier, more vibrant life.
Listen now and share with anyone who needs to hear the truth about hormone replacement therapy.
