Menopause expert Dr Naomi Potter offers a balanced view on the debate around HRT prescription and dosing, and also answers one of the toughest questions - could all women benefit from HRT?
First we go back to basics on the three major hormones affected by menopause and to what extent, the role of estrogen in our health, why high doses of hormone replacement therapy are being prescribed to some women and what doctors should be telling us about this.
We also explore the role of testosterone for women as we age.
