Educational Resources about HRT

[ChocolateTruffleCake]

I thought I would post some educational resources about HRT, and what books, and YouTube videos I have found very helpful in my menopause journey. Please feel free to add to the list!

Three very good YouTube channels are:

Dr. Barbie Taylor (Menopause Taylor) - an OB/gyne who is an incredible resource with over 200 videos clearly explains everything from bone health, HRT, diet, exercise, etc.

Dr. Louise Newson - a menopause specialist and GP who also has numerous excellent and knowledgeable videos about HRT and menopause

Dr. Heather Hirsch - an internist MD and menopause specialist who currently practices at Brigham & Women's Hospital, Boston

I'd be slightly careful about linking to US sites simply because in the US they do still use some types of HRT ( Premarin and Prempak which we don't have here and the stats coming from the US research is based on those types.

On Facebook there is the Latte Lounge group run by the daughter of Prof Michael Baum who is the leading expert on breast cancer (he's a breast specialist) and HRT. There was a new short video on the site yesterday.

Oh thank you @JinglingHellsBells - I did see Professor Baum on Dr Louise Newson's YouTube channel. Now I have to join Facebook.

(Thank you re: linking to US sites. Was not aware of that fact.)
