#131 - Is HRT Being Overprescribed? Science-Backed Considerations You Need to Know!
Thursday, 30 April, 2026
Not every viral menopause tip deserves a place in your body. In this episode of Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause, Louise Valentine, one of the world’s leading perimenopause experts, gets honest about hormone replacement therapy, menopause hormone therapy, and the confusing advice active women are hearing online.Louise explains why HRT and MHT should not be treated as a one-size-fits-all solution, especially for women in their 40s who still have powerful ways to support their hormones naturally. She challenges - with solid science to back it up - popular trends like weighted vest walking and fear-based messaging around menopause. Louise explains why female-specific fueling, strength training, sleep, lifestyle, and proper lab monitoring should be part of the conversation before jumping into medication.This episode is especially useful for active women, runners, and high-achievers who want to age strong, protect their bones, feel energized, and make informed choices without panic. Louise encourages listeners to think critically, ask better questions, work with trusted providers, and build a strong foundation that supports the female body through perimenopause and beyond.RESOURCES + LINKSLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Link to check out Function Health & save $25 off comprehensive, proactive blood work: https://my.functionhealth.com/signup?code=LVALENTINE11&_saasquatch=LVALENTINE11 And - $25 goes back to support BTW with each new sign up!
