Hormone Replacement Therapy, Data-Driven & Life RestoringRBy Dr. Donna Beckerecently a woman in her mid-40s, came to the office and told me she had been telling her doctor forover a year about hot flashes, exhaustion, and night sweats.

However, other studies do show the benefit of hormone replacement, most importantly for cognition, as well as bone, vaginal, and emotional health.
