We cannot say conclusively yet whether taking HRT will reduce our risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, et cetera, because we haven't been studying it long enough in the way that it should be delivered. In the past, hormone replacement therapy was given orally as a tablet, which we know is metabolized very differently to how transdermally, so with the patches or the gel, it's metabolized.

We know if it's given orally, for many women, it might not have the same favorable effects in terms of these intermediary risk factors because of how it's metabolized by the liver. In the UK, I don't know what it's like in the US. HRT is given transdermally now. It's not given orally because we know that it can have an unfavorable effect if it's given orally.

And so based on what evidence there is for transdermal, so the application to the skin HRT, I would say that there are discussions that every practitioner should have with a perimenopausal or postmenopausal women.

as long as it's within 10 years of them becoming postmenopausal, about how it's going to improve their symptoms and about how it may impact some of these other cardiovascular risk factors. It's not licensed in the UK for prevention of cardiovascular disease. So I'm saying this with a note of caution and just telling you based on the results that we received.

have here i take hrt that's my personal choice it's benefited me there needs to be those conversations healthcare practitioners need to be really well educated in how menopause impacts not just symptoms but their disease risk and what can be done whether it is hormone replacement therapy or whether it's alternative therapies i think what we haven't touched on though drew

and which I think is really important, is the whole area of these other therapies that people try, supplements. In the UK, we use this term called menowashing. I don't know if you've heard of it before.

The reason I just want to touch on it before we finish is because something that I feel very passionate about is people being misguided. I think everyone should try different things, try what works for them. But I really worry about the amount of what I call nutra nonsense out there, nonsense related to nutrition. Everyone has an opinion. Everyone thinks they know better, whether they're,
