About this episode

Dr Louise Newson and Dr Jeffrey Dach discuss the myths surrounding hormone treatments and the implications for women's health.

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by physician and author Dr Jeffrey Dach, who is the founder and Medical Director of the TrueMedMD Clinic in Florida and author of numerous books including Bioidentical Hormones 101. Together, Louise and Jeffrey challenge some of the biggest myths surrounding hormone treatments, including the long-standing fear around breast cancer and the lasting damage caused by the Women’s Health Initiative study. They discuss the important differences between body identical and synthetic hormones, and why hormones should be recognised not just for symptom relief, but also for their roles in improving long-term health. It’s a powerful conversation about fear, misinformation and why so many women are still being denied the hormone treatments they both need and want.
