Yes, just today I met with a nurse practitioner at my OB/GYN for an open discussion. She said the HRT treatments will do NOTHING to increase bone density for post-menopausal women. She stated to me they are meant to be a "bridge" between peri-menopause and menopause. Funny thing is I DID expect this answer, but I needed to go and rule it out. I asked her about "bio-identical" options and she said they are not FDA approved, so she could not make that recommendation. That being said, she did mention some kind of "bio-tea" she was aware of on Amazon. So far, with my osteoporosis diagnosis in April 2025, I have been going "natural" with diet & exercise. I work with a physical therapist, who incrementally helps me have the confidence to increase the weights I use for deadlifts, squats and assorted other exercises that help you grow muscle, which helps with bone growth. I do believe this is quite a controversial topic for women who are post-menopausal. I'll be checking back to see what others have to say!
