A compelling, “fascinating” (Robert Cialdini) defense of hormone replacement therapy, exposing the faulty science behind its fall from prominence and giving women the evidence they need to make informed decisions about their health. Now fully revised and updated.
"Estrogen Matters was my antidote to the misinformation surrounding menopause. This book should be the bible for every single person going through menopause.”―Naomi Watts
For years, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was the medically approved way to alleviate menopausal symptoms (ranging from hot flushes to brain fog) and reduce the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's, and osteoporosis. But when a large study by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) announced, with national fanfare, that women taking HRT had an increased risk of breast cancer, women were scared off, and the treatment was abandoned.
Now, Dr. Bluming, a medical oncologist, and Dr. Tavris, a social psychologist, reveal the true story of the WHI’s efforts to distort their data to exaggerate unsupported claims of estrogen’s harms. Important updates in this edition include:
- Evidence that demolishes the WHI’s claim that HRT causes breast cancer.
- A list of the WHI’s retractions of their original scare stories.
- Updated findings on estrogen’s benefits on heart, brain, bones, and longevity.
- A critical review of the alternative products and medications being marketed to treat symptoms of menopause.
A sobering and revelatory listen, Estrogen Matters sets the record straight on estrogen’s benefits, providing a light to guide women through this inevitable phase of life.

I'm a 54 year old ER doctor. Let me summarize my experience: brain fog, hot flashes, mood swings, peeing 2-4 times a night, every 2-3 hours when awake, not sleeping well, near complete loss of my sex drive, and did I mention that I couldn't think!!! I'm happily on HRT 6 months now; what a difference!!
It really pisses me off to think of all the women who have suffered needlessly, all the years of life lost because the protective benefits of estrogen were swept under the carpet. The WHI dick-bags that put their own agenda ahead of the actual science, the G_d-damn mongering press, all of it just disgusts me! Clearly there is no accountability for them in this life, let's hope there is in the next!! Karma, we are counting on you!!!
Wtf is wrong with this country? The press? Biased researchers???
