Yes I totally hear you on the HRT point and I know a lot of women who have literally transformed their lives from going onto HRT.

The study that I linked in the article is a recent 2020 that is an analysis of a lot of other studies. This study says that though the risks are a lot lower than previously thought, there are still risks associated. For myself, I am not even 40 yet, my symptoms are not bad enough for me to want to consider any risk. But that is my personal choice. Again in the article, I try to stress that it is indeed a very personal choice and one that women need to have as much solid information as they can get their hands on. I am still in the beginning phases of my research and reading into the topic.
