As a result, many women suffer debilitating, or life changing menopausal symptoms and increased cardiovascular and dementia risks.   In this podcast, Dr Michelle Woolhouse interviews Professor Cassandra Szoeke on her extensive work on women’s health and the process of healthy ageing. Together, they discuss the impact of the groundbreaking Women’s Health Initiative study on healthcare over the past 20 years, and focus on hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
