A short spoken clip by Dr. Charles Mok addressing menopause-related weight gain and the potential role of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The speaker states that menopause-associated weight gain is common, that topical or intradermal pellet estrogen is associated with less weight gain than oral estrogen, and that adding testosterone can improve body composition. The speaker recommends considering HRT if concerned about weight gain.

Weight gain and menopause, it's across the board. It happens to a lot of people, virtually everybody. And when we look at replacing taking nothing versus taking oral estrogen, you have less weight gain. Topical or intradermal pellet estrogen, you have less weight gain than oral. And adding in testosterone, even better body composition. So hormone replacement therapy is something you should think about if you're worried about gaining weight or you are gaining weight.
