Concerns around hormone therapy largely stem from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study conducted over two decades ago. However, it’s important to note that the WHI studied synthetic, non-human hormones—specifically horse-derived hormones which were later shown to have harmful effects.
Since then, a growing body of research on bio-identical hormones—which are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the human body—has found no increased risk of chronic disease. These safer, plant-derived hormones have become a trusted, evidence-based option for women seeking to restore balance and relieve symptoms.
