ABOUT THIS EPISODE
For women navigating menopause, a family history of breast cancer, or a diagnosis of their own, the question "Does estrogen cause breast cancer?" is deeply personal. In this episode of the Synergee Podcast, Lori shares her experience as a breast cancer survivor and her decision to revisit hormone therapy. She and Kelly welcome OB-GYN and integrative medicine physician Dr. Felice Gersh for a candid conversation about estrogen, progesterone, the Women's Health Initiative, and what hormone receptor positive breast cancer means.
They also discuss the limits of the evidence on hormone therapy after breast cancer and the role of metabolic health, sleep, movement, and stress. If you've struggled to ask these questions—or to feel heard when you do—this conversation can help you prepare for a more informed discussion with your healthcare team.
