Hormone Replacement Therapy, yes or no?

Hormone Replacement Therapy, yes or no?

With Dr. Naomi Potter, GP.

Cost: £2. All proceeds donated to The Hope Centre

There is a trend for women to be going into the menopause earlier than previous generations. But while menopause arrives faster, we’re living and working a lot longer than our mothers and grandmothers, even our pensions are moving further and further away from us.

So how do we live without (or with less) of the wonderful female hormonal soup that we have been addicted to for years – after all it protects us from so much particularly osteoporosis, dementia and cardiovascular problems. Can HRT be a good replacement, can we help younger women protect themselves sooner rather than later.

Dr. Naomi Potter is a GP with a special interest in women’s health and all things hormone. She runs a very successful private practice helping women find the right path to hormone happiness.

This webinar is an opportunity to learn how to help yourself. To learn how you can keep your neck and shoulders moving well and avoid pain. It’s also a chance to understand what might be happening if there’s pains travelling down your arms, is that a trapped nerved? Stephanie Rodley will be leading this webinar.
