Content Description:
“Estrogen Matters: Why Taking Hormones in Menopause Can Improve Women’s Well-Being and Lengthen Their Lives — Without Raising the Risk of Breast Cancer,” authored by Avrum Bluming, MD, and Carol Tavris, PhD, and published by Little, Brown Spark on September 4, 2018, challenges common misconceptions surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in menopausal women. Drawing on extensive research and clinical experience, the authors argue that HRT, particularly estrogen therapy, can offer significant benefits for women’s well-being and longevity, while debunking fears about its association with breast cancer. Bluming and Tavris provide a comprehensive analysis of the evidence, addressing the risks and benefits of HRT and advocating for a more nuanced understanding of its role in menopausal management. With engaging writing and accessible explanations, the book empowers women to make informed decisions about their health and challenges conventional wisdom surrounding menopausal hormone therapy. “Estrogen Matters” serves as a valuable resource for women, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay between hormones, health, and aging.
