A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube talk explaining that estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone receptors exist across multiple body systems (GI tract, skin, brain, bone, cardiovascular, immune). The speaker notes that stopping hormone replacement therapy removes hormonal stimulation of these receptors, causing loss of hormone-driven benefits. The clip focuses on physiological receptor distribution and the consequence of HRT discontinuation.

Chapters

We have receptors actually in our GI tract to estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. We have them in our skin, in our brain, in our bones, in our cardiovascular system. Our immune system responds to these hormones, like all the systems, play an integral role in response to our hormone levels. So if you stop taking your hormone replacement therapy, you will stop getting the signals from those hormones because those receptors will no longer be stimulated. There's no hormones to send a response, so you will no longer receive the benefits of the hormones.
