Dr. Mindy Goldman joined me on #WellBeyond40 to explain where that fear really came from: the Women’s Health Initiative study. It was the largest NIH trial of its time and it used synthetic hormones, especially a synthetic progestin, that showed an increased risk.
Here’s what we now know:
– Estrogen alone is linked with lower risk of breast cancer and even lower mortality
– The real risk comes from combining estrogen with certain synthetic progestins
– Bioidentical progesterone is not associated with the same risks
This conversation is eye-opening for midlife women, cancer survivors, and anyone who’s been told hormones are “dangerous.” Dr. Goldman shares the science and the safer options that too many women have never been told about.

Synthetic progestin does cause breast cancer. The compounding pharmacists are putting it in, whether you have a uterus or not. ALL WOMEN ARE GETTING IT. MANY GOT ANGIODEMA TOO.
