In this week’s episode, we’re diving back into the conversation around Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) with fresh insights from the recent 19th World Congress on Menopause in Melbourne.
Dr Peta Wright and Dr Thea Bowler are here to share the latest findings, practical takeaways, and a few myth-busting updates on menopause care.
If you’re curious about what the world’s top experts are saying on MHT, lifestyle impacts, and menopause brain health, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
🎧 Listen in to hear:
🌿 New perspectives on MHT – Dr Peta and Dr Thea revisit last week’s discussion to explore whether MHT should be used to prevent chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease or if it’s best reserved for symptom relief. Hear why the latest research still favours a balanced, symptom-first approach.
🌿 Lifestyle choices that matter – Discover why some lifestyle changes, like movement and stress management, can be just as powerful as hormone therapy for long-term health and vitality.
🌿 What’s happening with menopause brain health – The latest research sheds light on how menopause affects the brain, including why “brain fog” is often temporary and may even be part of an adaptive, natural rewiring.
🌿 Testosterone and menopause – Get the facts on why testosterone has limited impact on symptoms like low libido and fatigue, and why a holistic, whole-body approach may be the best way to support wellness at this stage.
Join us for this follow-up episode as Dr Peta and Dr Thea connect cutting-edge research with practical advice that helps you make empowered, personalised choices for your health.
