I was recently interviewed for a Huffington Post article (December 2011) about hormone replacement therapy. The article discusses the recent history of hormone therapy for women in the U.S., and addresses the following questions:
- Why were concerns raised about hormone therapy in the early 2000′s?
- How are synthetic hormones different from bioidentical hormones?
- Why does the dosage form of a hormone (for example, a capsule vs. a patch) make a difference?
- Why is age an important factor to consider when prescribing or taking hormone therapy?
In the article, two California gynecologists, Dr. Susan Podolsky and Dr. Ricki Pollycove, also weigh in on the topic. I hope that you find it helpful! ~Peter
