Host: Barbara Lewis
Interview: Marie Savard, MD, ABC medical contributor
Another issue facing women during menopause: whether or not to take any sort of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Barbara Lewis checks in with ABC Medical Contributor Dr. Marie Savard for the latest thinking on what are called "bio-identical hormones."
In her usual lively fashion, Dr. Savard explains the benefits of using the more natural and lower-dose patches and gels, instead of pills, for hormone replacement therapy.
