73 – Hormone treatments after 70: why you don’t need to stop

So many women are wrongly told they need to stop takinghormone treatments when they reach a certain age, yet there is noevidence-based age limit for natural hormone treatments.

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Paula Keats who previously worked in the City as a Head ofHR for an international investment bank. Paula has been taking hormone treatments for 33 yearsand is still benefiting from them at the age of 77. Paula shares why she chose to continue hormone treatments through the fallout of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study, the difference hormones have made to her life, and whyshe has no intention of stopping.

Together, Louise and Paula discuss the misconceptionssurrounding hormone treatments in later life, why so many women are still being denied hormone treatments because of their age, and the importance of individualised care and treatments rather than arbitrary cut-offs.

Whether you’re already taking hormone treatments, wonderingif you should continue, or have been told you’re “too old” to start, thisepisode will give you the information and confidence to have informedconversations and make the choices that are right for you.
