What's the deal with hormone replacement therapy?
About this episode
Emily and Perry explore the complexities of hormone replacement therapy and its implications for women's health.
This week, Emily, a woman, and Perry, a man, wade into the complicated world of hormone replacement therapy, the first of a two-part series on exogenous hormones and the sexes who love them. What do hormones do for women, and what happens when they recede? And why was HRT so closely -- and erroneously -- linked to breast cancer? Plus: a new type of diabetes, a normie CDC director nominee, and the groovy (?) reclassification of psychedelics. Submit a question for our weekly mailbag at wellnessactually.fm.
