Hormone therapy adds risks and benefits to women’s long-term health. The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) and the Early vs Late Intervention Trial with Estradiol (ELITE trial) have shaped our knowledge about the “timing hypothesis” and the impact of hormone therapy on disease risk. This episode covers our current knowledge about the benefits and risks of hormone therapy.

Episode 3 – Prescribing Hormone Therapy: Options for Patient-Centered Care

Menopause is a universal experience for women, but there is a surprising lack of knowledge among clinicians about it and treatment options for menopause-related symptoms. United by a desire to educate clinicians in primary care and OBGYN, two obstetrician-gynecologists, Kimberly Vesco and Amanda Clark, along with family medicine physician Tovi Anderson, created the Practice Pearls Podcast: Menopause — six episodes ranging from 15-20 minutes — that busy clinicians can listen to at their convenience. This interesting series includes information on menopause, its symptoms, and treatment. Case studies are woven throughout. We hope the series advances your understanding and assists you in providing high-quality care for your patients.
