Lauren Streicher, MD
About this episode

Selene Yeager is not a doctor; she is a health reporter with an enormous following of women who count on her to provide evidence-based medical information.  

Recently, we sat down to discuss challenges in prescribing hormone therapy for her podcast, "Hit Play, Not Pause." We had such a good conversation that I asked her if I could share her episode with my audience.  

👉Hormone therapy research
👉The cardiovascular implications of hot flashes
👉Why formulations matter 
👉Why the route of delivery (transdermal vs oral) matters
👉Why bio-identical is not always best (link to my article below) 
 👉Perimenopause versus postmenopausal therapy
👉Why hormone therapy needs to be personalized
👉How every woman should approach her own care.
