What we cover:
What estrogen actually does across every organ system: brain, heart, bone, muscle, skin, metabolism
The WHI study — what went wrong, why millions of women stopped HRT overnight, and why the science has since been corrected
The critical window: why starting in perimenopause, not postmenopause, changes the entire risk-benefit picture
Bioidentical vs synthetic hormones — what the difference means in practice
How to have an informed conversation with your doctor
The clinical anchor: Women who start hormone therapy during perimenopause have significantly lower odds of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline. Estrogen is not a symptom treatment — it is a longevity intervention.
