Clearing Up the Confusion: Hormone Replacement Therapy and Cancer Risk 🌟🧬

Hi everyone, I'm Dr. Cassie Smith, and today I'm excited to be joined by Dr. Johnny Peet as we tackle a critical topic: "Does Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) increase cancer risk?" 🩺💡 In this episode, we dive deep into the literature and evidence surrounding HRT. Spoiler alert: the real issue isn't with natural hormones like 17 beta-estradiol, progesterone, or testosterone. 🌿🔍 We'll clarify how synthetic progestins, specifically medroxyprogesterone acetate, have been the focus of studies linking HRT to cancer, not the natural hormones our bodies produce. We'll discuss how androgens, including testosterone, are actually protective against cancer and why our risk is lower when we're younger with higher androgen levels. Join us as we debunk myths, present scientific facts, and guide you through understanding hormone health better. #hormonereplacementtherapy #CancerMyths #NaturalVsSynthetic #healthpodcasts #DrCassieSmith #DrJohnnyPeet #wellnessjourney #medicalinsights #healthyliving #hormonehealthcoach #DebunkingMyths #HRTFacts #subscribenow #shortsviral
