Hormone Replacement Therapy, or what’s now being referred to more often as MHT, is rising in popularity. But who should take it? Which hormones is it replacing? Who is eligible? How does it help?

So many good questions!

Listener Amy had another good question: “Hi, Megan, I had a hysterectomy about five years ago. I'm being told that some women take progesterone, and I'm wondering if that's a good idea. And why do they take progesterone and not estrogen? Thank you so much.”

While I’m no doctor, I can help shed some light on this popular, albeit confusing, topic.

In this quick episode, I give you a brief history of HRT and how many of the risks associated with it have been debunked. Then we’ll do a broad overview of estrogen vs. progesterone, and why you might take one or the other or both.

💥Taking listener questions!!! Do you have a question about your self-care that you need help with? Just head to www.vigeofit.com/ask to submit your question, and I’ll answer it for you on an upcoming Friday episode.
