Celebrating the Twins, Pt. 5: Breast Cancer Risk, Hormone Replacement Therapy & Menopause with ...

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), breast cancer risk, and menopause—why is it still so hard for women over 40 to get straight answers about their health? For Part 5 of our Celebrating the Twins series, Karen and Lisa welcome Dr. Betsy Greenleaf, a quadruple board-certified physician and women's health expert, for a candid, eye-opening conversation about hormones, breast health, and taking back control of our midlife wellness. When Lisa can't get her estrogen patches but Viagra seems readily available, the frustration gets REAL. And for Karen, whose mom battled breast cancer, the fear surrounding hormones hits especially close to home. Together, they unpack the confusion around HRT and breast cancer risk, explore bioidentical hormones, challenge menopause myths, and tackle why women's sexual health and quality of life are still too often overlooked. If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause, worried about breast cancer risk, struggling to find a doctor who actually listens, or simply tired of being told to live with your symptoms, this conversation is for YOU. Because midlife shouldn't mean settling for less. It's time to ask better questions, advocate for our bodies, and feel empowered to make informed decisions about our health. Grab your favorite drink and join us for some truth, a little outrage, plenty of laughs, and a reminder that you deserve to be heard.
