Reclaiming Women's Health: Evidence-Based Hormone Replacement Therapy and Cardiovascular, Metabolic, and Cognitive Benefits

Join us for a comprehensive exploration of modern hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and its evidence-based benefits for women's health. This presentation challenges outdated narratives and presents current research on how bioidentical and traditional HRT can support cardiovascular health, bone density, cognitive function, metabolic wellness, and inflammatory balance.

Key Topics:

• Cardiovascular Protection: Understanding the timing hypothesis and how estrogen supports heart health when initiated appropriately
• Bone Health & Osteoporosis Prevention: The critical role of HRT in maintaining bone mineral density and reducing fracture risk
• Cognitive Function & Brain Health: Emerging evidence on estrogen's neuroprotective effects and potential benefits for memory and mental clarity
• Metabolic Benefits: How HRT improves insulin sensitivity, supports healthy weight management, and reduces metabolic syndrome risk
• Anti-inflammatory Effects: The systemic benefits of hormone optimization on chronic inflammation markers
• Reframing the Cancer Narrative: Critical analysis of landmark studies (WHI), their limitations, and how modern prescribing practices differ from the protocols studied

Audience Takeaway: Pharmacists will gain practical knowledge to counsel patients on the benefits and individualized risk-benefit profiles of HRT, enabling more informed conversations and better patient outcomes in women's health management.
