As we navigate the midlife journey, we face choices that challenge old beliefs and open new doors to self-care and advocacy.

Hormone therapy, once a topic of caution, is now being reexamined with a fresh perspective.

At the same time, The conversation about menopause is stepping into the spotlight. Halle Berry is passionately working to destigmatize menopause, reminding us to embrace this time confidently.

Let’s explore all of the good that this transformative time has to offer.

In the past, many women were warned that hormone therapy carried significant health risks. The decision between menopause relief and potential side effects carried a heavy weight.

A new study offers a different perspective.

Published in the medical journal JAMA, follow-up data from a two-decades-long study found that the benefits of hormone therapy for the treatment of menopause symptoms outweigh the risks.

"Among women below the age of 60, we found hormone therapy has a low risk of adverse events and [is] safe for treating bothersome hot flashes, night sweats, and other menopausal symptoms."

- Dr. JoAnn Manson, chief of preventive medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital

The study shed light on where past health risks with HRT came from.

A specific combination of estrogen and progestin called Prempro had higher risks of breast cancer and stroke.

The most significant change came with two different types of hormones given at lower doses. The change proved to be safer.

A second important finding was when to start HRT.

"We know that there is a window of opportunity when it is the safest to start hormone therapy and that you get the most benefit." That window is typically between ages 50 and 60, Dr. Lauren Streicher says.

With a wide range of hormone therapies now available, healthcare providers can personalize care to best fit each woman.

A safer and more effective approach to managing menopause is what we deserve. Embrace the possibilities for relief and wellness.

Imagine going to your doctor with a bothersome symptom. The doctor knows the cause but doesn’t want to tell you what it is.
