59 - Can you start HRT after 60? What the evidence shows
About this episode
Dr Louise Newson discusses the misconceptions around starting hormone replacement therapy after the age of 60.
So many women are denied hormone replacement because they are told they are “too old”. In this special solo episode, Dr Louise Newson explains why this is wrong. She covers what happens when hormone levels stay low as women age and why this long-term deficiency affects everything from cardiovascular health to bone strength and cognitive function. She clarifies why the WHI study created so much confusion, how its findings differ from modern body-identical HRT and what starting treatment in your 60s or beyond realistically looks like. It’s a clear, current overview for anyone told they’re “too old” for hormone therapy.
