I find Dr. Felice Gersh, Functional Medicine MD, OB-GYN, another good resource for BHRT information. Here is her video on BHRT for over 60: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMOA7ZUCcAo

Wow! What a great video with Dr. Gersh! Wish she was MY doctor! Thanks for your input!
This was my PA's advice to me: "HRT is beneficial after 65, but unfortunately that is only if you started within a time from 10 years within menopause and or under 60 years of age. Unfortunately research has shown that if you start later the benefits don't outweigh risk, especially in your case. Osteoporosis if not an FDA approved reason to start HRT. If you start later, there is no benefit. HRT should only be started for extraskeletal issues."
I also have a sister who had breast cancer (estrogen kind), and my PA believes that is a good reason for me not to take any kind of BHRT.
