Dr Beth Thomas on how to approach your GP and the risks and benefits of HRT

Join me as I chat to all-round awesome GP, Dr Beth Thomas, who also happens to be my sister-in law!   We discuss how best to talk to your GP (and what to do if you feel that you're not getting anywhere); different types of HRT and risks vs protective benefits (especially regarding breast cancer); the difference between body identical and bio identical HRT; how to assess your osteoporosis risk; how and why your GP might prescribe testosterone; and why hormone testing is not helpful if you are over 45.   Don't forget to follow us over on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/middlingalong_podcast/ or find out more/listen to past episodes/subscribe to the newsletter at https://middlingalong.com   It would mean so much if you’d subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts to share the love! You can also find me at www.managingthemenopause.com where we offer coaching and workplace training.
