No clinical trial has ever shown that hormone replacement therapy for perimenopausal women increases the likelihood of dying of breast cancer. While some women can’t take HRT, the vast majority of women going through perimenopause can have both short and long-term health benefits.

Women have been misled by medical dogma for decades. It's time for the truth about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). As Dr. Marty Makary explains, the pervasive fear that HRT increases a woman's risk of dying from breast cancer is not supported by clinical trial data. This critical misunderstanding has robbed countless women of profound health benefits. The short-term relief from perimenopause symptoms—like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings—is well-known. But the long-term benefits are truly staggering and largely underappreciated: ✅ Cuts the risk of heart attacks by 25-50% (the #1 killer of women). ✅ Reduces the risk of cognitive decline & Alzheimer's by up to 64%. ✅ Slashes the risk of osteoporosis and debilitating bone fractures in half. When initiated within 10 years of perimenopause, HRT may be one of the most impactful preventive medications in modern history for improving women's long-term health outcomes on a population level. Yet, as Dr. Makary points out, it remains underrecognized, underappreciated, and underfunded. This is a pivotal issue in women's health that demands attention. Every woman deserves to know the real data, beyond the outdated dogma, to make an informed decision with her doctor.

The 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study caused millions of women to avoid hormone replacement therapy for fear of breast cancer. Amazingly – despite the headlines – the study DID NOT show any statistically significant increase in breast cancer mortality due to HRT.

In the UK, only around 14% of menopausal women take HRT and this number usually shocks people. But as you can hear Dr Mary Claire Haver talk about here - in the US it is only 4% now, when just over 20 years ago it was around 40%. Much of this reduction in HRT use and the negativity regarding HRT stems from the misinterpretation of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study which was published in 2002. For those of you who don’t know much about this, in 1993, the WHI began a clinical trial looking at the health effects of women taking oestrogen-only or combined HRT compared to a placebo. In 2002, researchers halted the part of the study looking at women taking both oestrogen and progesterone (two hormones that decline during the perimenopause onwards) early over concerns there were small increased risks of breast cancer, heart disease, strokes and blood clots. This led to confusion and concern from doctors and women worldwide, and in the UK women taking HRT fell sharply. But even with the older versions of HRT, the WHI researchers have subsequently acknowledged that HRT is the most effective treatment for managing menopausal symptoms like hot flushes and that taking oestrogen alone reduces the risk of breast cancer by 23% and death by breast cancer by 40%. It is time we move on from the misinterpretation of this study and allow more women to access hormone replacement if that is what they want.

My mother was among the 50 million+ women who were denied the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy. She later suffered multiple bone fractures – so I was struck when a NEJM randomized controlled trial found that HRT started within 10 years of the onset of menopause can reduce the risk of bone fractures by up to 50%.

For most women, the benefits of taking body identical HRT far outweigh any risks. Yet many are reluctant to take it and many doctors are also reluctant to prescribe it. This is usually due to a false belief that HRT is too risky and causes breast cancer. I am sharing with you this paper that has recently been published looking at oestrogen-only HRT and breast cancer incidence. The paper is a meta-analysis, which is a type of statistical analysis where researchers review, combine, and analyse multiple studies together. In this paper, researchers have looked at randomised studies involving oestrogen and breast cancer incidence and put them together to see what the results show. The conclusion is clear: women who take oestrogen-only HRT have a LOWER future risk of developing breast cancer. We’ve known for several years that women who take oestrogen have a lower future incidence of breast cancer as well as other cancers and other conditions. This paper is very reassuring, and it’s worth remembering that any risk of breast cancer has been shown using oestrogen with a combination of a synthetic progestogen, not the body-identical type progesterone healthcare professionals usually prescribe.

RFK Jr. says hormone replacement therapy is safe for women — and that the fear around it came from a deceptive 2002 study. “Well, there’s never been a study that shows that hormone replacement therapy for women increases mortalities from breast cancer. There has never been that study.” “There’s recently been a meta review of the 30 largest studies — 26,000 women — that show if you start taking it prior to 60, it actually dramatically reduces your risk of breast cancer.” “It drops heart attack risk by 50%, Alzheimer’s by 35%, cognitive decline by 50% to 60%, and bone fractures by 50%.” “It also increases happiness and reduces depression.” “That very weak and deceptive study that came out in 2002 scared women away.” “That black box warning… should never have been put on there and we are now applying gold standard science, and we're taking it off.”

HRT: The Miracle Therapy That Extends Women’s Lives by 3.5 Years, Cuts Heart Attacks by 50%, and Slashes Alzheimer’s Risk by 35% Dr. Marty Makary exposes one of modern medicine’s greatest failures: the suppression of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopausal women. He calls HRT a “modern-day miracle,” rivaling antibiotics in its potential to transform lives. The evidence is staggering. HRT extends women’s lives by 3.5 years on average, slashes heart attack risk by 50% in one study, cuts cognitive decline by 50-60%, and reduces Alzheimer’s risk by 35%. It alleviates menopause symptoms, strengthens bones, and drastically lowers fracture risk from falls. The benefits are nothing short of extraordinary. Yet, medical dogma has denied countless women this life-changing treatment. Dr. Makary argues that the vast majority of menopausal women are candidates for HRT, but misinformation persists, robbing them of healthier, longer lives. This is a travesty of modern medicine—one of the greatest screw-ups in history—and it’s still happening.

FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary calls the demonization of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for postmenopausal women “the biggest screw-up of modern medicine.” Key points from his explosive take: - A misinterpreted 2002 NIH study (led by a Fauci-like figure) claimed HRT causes breast cancer — but the increase was not statistically significant, and no subsequent study has shown increased breast cancer mortality. - Women were scared off a treatment that dramatically improves quality of life and extends life. - Benefits include: - 25–50% lower risk of fatal heart attacks (leading killer in women) - ~90% reduction in osteoporosis risk - Prevention of cognitive decline - Relief from severe symptoms lasting ~8 years on average (hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, painful sex, weight gain) - Marriages have been saved, lives improved — yet doctors were trained to dismiss symptoms as “tough it out” or prescribe antidepressants instead. - Starting HRT within ~10 years of menopause (ideally ~50) maximizes benefits and safety; after ~60, the risk-benefit shifts. Makary: This was dogma, not data — and it cost women decades of health. The tide is turning. Are you (or someone you know) reconsidering HRT after this? Raw, no-filter truth about one of the largest medical reversals in history

I often have women messaging me to ask if there is a cut off age for taking HRT, or to ask what age they need to stop HRT. The answer is that there is usually no set length of time you should take HRT for - the menopause is a long-term hormone deficiency so women can usually take HRT forever to replace these missing hormones. However, after the Women’s Health Initiative Study was published in 2002, many women have resisted taking HRT, especially after age 65 years, because of fears of perceived risks. However, a new study has been published today showing that these fears are unfounded. The study also showed that women who took oestrogen only HRT beyond the age of 65 was associated with significant risk reductions in mortality, breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, congestive heart failure, venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation, acute myocardial infarction, and dementia. There were also benefits to future health in women who took combination oestrogen and progesterone. The most benefit was with transdermal oestradiol and progesterone. If you haven’t yet read the study, I would really recommend you do. The link is here: It’s also worth listening to this podcast I recorded with Dr Anna Chiles who is a GP and works with us at Newson Health as a menopause specialist, as we talk more about continuing HRT for many years during that: This article we have on our @balancemenopause website is also worth a read:

Only around 14% of menopausal women in the UK currently are prescribed HRT, which would be fine if only 14% of women wanted to take HRT but we know this isn’t the case. I constantly hear from so many women who aren’t being given a choice and are unable to have their HRT prescribed for them both in the UK and other countries. This is not right when we know HRT is safe and beneficial for the majority of menopausal women and the guidelines are clear it is a first line treatment to manage menopausal symptoms for most women. In areas of deprivation this number is much lower - in some areas only 2% of menopausal women are prescribed HRT and these women are more likely to be prescribed antidepressants, statins and blood pressure lowering treatments. Also they are more likely to have chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, clinical depression and osteoporosis - taking HRT can reduce the incidence of these diseases as well as improving symptoms. A lot of the work I do is about giving women the confidence to be better advocates for themselves and I hope by keeping this conversation going we can help more women access the care and treatment they want and deserve.

It’s been more than 20 years since media headlines about the Women’s Health Initiative study incorrectly linked HRT to an increased risk of breast cancer, but even today many women still avoid HRT because of perceived breast cancer fears. This misinformation is really damaging to women’s health, so on my podcast this week I invited Dr Avrum Bluming to join me. Avrum is a leading US oncologist and has spent 25 years studying the benefits and risks of HRT in breast cancer survivors. As you’ll hear in the episode, Avrum tells me about more recent studies that have shown that oestrogen alone decreases the risk of breast cancer development by 23% and the risk of death from breast cancer by 40%. Yet many people still do not realise this. It is so important that everyone knows the real story about the WHI study and the misreporting of the data so I really would recommend listening to the full episode:
