On this episode of Fitness Unfiltered we welcome Dr Annice Mukherjee, Consultant Endocrinologist to talk about Menopause and HRT. We delve into the truth about menopause and HRT and explore the benefits, risks and the wealth of misinformation out there on the topic. We look into the nuance behind recent headlines and documentaries, discuss why tides have changed so much on this topic, and also discuss the caveats and worries about overstating potential new developments in research and evidence.
