Short monologue (YouTube) arguing that physicians’ attitudes toward hormone replacement therapy (HRT) shifted after media coverage of the Women’s Health Initiative; the speaker cites the Aware trial and the 2002/2004 WHI findings as drivers of fear, says early menopausal timing (within ~10 years) was misunderstood, and encourages viewers to learn more (including the speaker’s book) and consult their doctor.

I see a shift in doctors opinions or attitudes towards HRT. They were afraid of them. Doctors in their 50s and 60s and 70s are afraid of HRT because they were told by CNN and Fox News they shouldn't be using them. I think they'd be further from the truth. We should not be taking our medical advice from media, but we did as a society. There's a big study called the Aware trial. They found that based on the Women's Health initiative trial in 2002, 2004, the majority of women went off their HRT because of how they perceived the information. The information was actually trying to show something else other than if you start menopausal medicines within 10 years they didn't know that was not the group of people that had an issue. HRT I want you to learn about a little bit more. You can read my book. I encourage you to get a free copy of that. Talk to your doctor about it.
