HRT & Menopause: This NHS GP Sets The Record Straight!

conversation cuts through all the noise about HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) and menopause. Wherever you are on this journey, if you're asking is HRT safe? this one's for you.I have an in-depth chat with Dr. Ellie Cannon, an NHS GP & author who wrote the book — literally — on menopause, because too many women are still navigating this without the basics.

We cover

✦ Unusual symptoms most women don't even connect to menopause

✦ HRT and breast cancer risk

✦ The truth about testosterone

✦ What to do when your GP doesn't have the answers*

✦ Non-HRT options that actually work

[*Always try & advocate for yourself and seek advice from a qualified health professional]
