596. Does Hormone Replacement Cause Cancer? 3 Top Doctors Weigh In

Author: Dr. Amie Hornaman January 16, 2026 Duration: 1:04:08
Hormones are having a moment, and not always for the right reasons. In this episode, three top doctors: Dr. Julie Taguchi, Dr. Jenn Simmons, and Dr. Lindsey Berkson weigh in on one of the most misunderstood topics in women’s health: hormone replacement therapy. They unpack what hormones actually do, why the Women’s Health Initiative study created decades of fear and confusion, and how progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone impact bone health, metabolism, and overall quality of life. This conversation moves past fear-based headlines to look at what really influences breast cancer risk, including metabolic health and lifestyle factors. These doctors discuss why hormone therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, when bioidentical hormones can be safe and effective, and why women deserve informed, individualized care... especially during menopause or after a breast cancer diagnosis.
