Why are so many women still being told estrogen is dangerous?

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by oncologist and author of Estrogen Matters, Dr Avrum Bluming, to explore how fear around hormones took hold and why it persisted for so long. They also revisit the evidence behind the Women’s Health Initiative and discuss what it actually shows about risks and benefits.

Together, they unpack the role of estrogen in the body and why having the right information is key to making informed choices about treatment.
