What You Really Need to Know About HRT
HRT has become one of the most talked-about—and misunderstood—topics in women’s health. This week, Dr. Hilary is joined by GP, media doctor, and author Dr. Ellie Cannon to separate fact from fiction. With her new book, The Little Book of HRT, Dr. Cannon offers practical, no-nonsense advice rooted in everyday NHS care, cutting through commercial hype and confusion.
Together, they discuss:
• Why HRT isn’t simply good or bad—it’s personal
• How the menopause conversation has evolved
• The dangers of misinformation and overmedicalisation
• What most women can expect from their NHS GP
• Why straightforward, accessible advice is still so hard to find
