That's the big question. The issue of contraindications is a very important one. As I explained in my remarks, there are a lot of contraindications when it comes to hormone therapy. One of my struggles is to say that there are also many consequences to not taking hormones. By the way, I'm not advocating for women who don't want to take hormones. That's their choice, and I respect it deeply. I am not advocating for women who want to take them, but for those who are denied a prescription.
In my book Hormones au féminin: repensez votre santé, I talk about breast cancer, among other things. As you can well imagine, after the book was published, I saw many women who had had breast cancer and were being denied hormones. Personally, I prescribed them to these women.
My mission is very much to debunk all the myths and medical dogmas surrounding contraindications associated with hormone therapy that uses hormones different from those our bodies produce.
