Yes, earlier is better, but we can't turn back the clock. And starting later is better than never starting at all.

Learn why I think that no one is ever too old to start hormone replacement therapy (HRT). In this talk, I cover:

* Where the 60 yr old / 10 yrs since final period cut off comes from and why these guidelines don't apply to modern, human identical estradiol and progesterone.
* The data showing that HRT is safe
* The data supporting that HRT positively benefits cells and organs throughout the female body regardless of age.

If you are wondering whether or not to pursue HRT, I hope you find this information reassuring and motivating. If you are struggling to find a healthcare provider who will prescribe HRT to you, I hope this helps you have an informed conversation with your current provider or find one that is educated in modern HRT science.

Remember, not every woman is a candidate for HRT so you have to talk to a trusted doctor about your own unique medical history and risks.
