Hormones and Women’s Health with Gynecologic Expert Dr. Elizabeth Poynor
Hormones and their role in women’s health have long been understudied, misunderstood, and controversial. Following a new interpretation of the landmark Women’s Health Initiative study, the subject is under discussion more than ever. Dr. Elizabeth Poynor is here to share her expertise. An Ivy League-educated and heavily credentialed surgeon and gynecologic oncologist, her work has been dedicated to midlife women’s health. She also happens to be Martha’s own doctor. Dr. Poynor, now the Chair of Women’s Health & Gynecology at Atria, has seen how crucial hormones are to understanding the overall health and well-being of women. She joins Martha today for a candid conversation about the risks and benefits of hormone support, how to pay attention to the body’s signals, and the science that helps explain “why” lifestyle changes impact the body.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
