Episode The HRT Cancer Fear: What Dr Louise Newson Says We’ve Got Wrong
Dr Louise Newson challenges the belief that HRT automatically increases breast cancer risk—and explains why the type of hormone, the dose, and the individual woman all matter.
She discusses:
• What the famous 2002 study actually found • Why estrogen-only and combined HRT can have different risks • Why some women need higher doses because they do not absorb patches or gels properly • Why menopause symptoms can include joint pain, palpitations, insomnia, low mood and brain fog • Why women are still being prescribed antidepressants instead of hormones • The difference between progesterone and synthetic progestogens • Why a blood test may not tell the whole story • Whether HRT can protect future bone and heart health
This is a frank conversation about medical misinformation, women being dismissed, and why “one dose fits all” medicine may be failing women.
