Episode description

The headline from CNN Health form June 28, 2023 reads, "HRT use by younger women linked to dementia, study says". That is FRIGHTENING to any patient using hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms. Does HT cause dementia? Or is HT a "easy suspect"? The question of HT and cognitive function has been a subject of controversy for many years. In this episode we will summarize the NAMS position statement on HT for cognitive issues (2022) as well as summarize this new June 2023 publication from BMJ causing quite a stir among menopauses' medical experts. PLUS, we will provide a likely reason, which is the proverbial "elephant in the room", for this new study's conclusions.
