Description

Stevi Carr, founder of WISe Wellness Guild, dives into Hormone Replacement Therapies (HRT) with Dr. Sarah E. Bartlett, MD. Certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology at The Christ Hospital Health Network, Dr. Bartlett chose early in her career to focus on caring for women outside of pregnancy.

"One of the questions I receive constantly is if hormone replacement therapy is right for me and safe for me," says Dr. Bartlett.

Not all hormones are the same. Each responds differently and have their own risks and benefits. Women are uniquely made in their chemistry, personal health and family history, and these all are in play when determining hormone safety for you.

Is Hormone Replacement Therapy safe? Largely, yes for a lot of women!
