Estrogen: The Most Vilified Hormone | With Dr. Lindsey Berkson

Estrogen is one of the most vilified hormones there is. Ever since the women’s health initiative, initial results came out in July 2002, Rojon has received a bad reputation as a hormone neck, promotes breast cancer, and that should be avoided in most women. Recent research, looking at reanalysis of the women’s health internship datahave painted a very different picture however, indeed, vindicating estrogen as a home, one that does not drive breast cancer. Despite overwhelming evidence, indicating this, in many patient and physician circles, the remains an unwanted fear of estrogen.

Today I talk with Dr. Lindsey Berkson, who is a brilliant mind on hormones, especially estrogen. She has sat on both sides of the table as a clinician as well as a breast cancer survivor and has a unique story to tell.

We discuss:
– what we got wrong about the women’s health initiative data?
– Why our fear around estrogen doesn’t go away despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary?
– What are some of the mechanisms of breast cancer development and how do we understand Estrogen in light of these.
– How to effectively replace estrogen so women can feel Better, healthier, stronger and avoid many chronic illnesses.
