Our knowledge and understanding of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has grown in recent years and thankfully women are now more informed about the benefits and risks. However some women still have reservations and would like to know about alternatives therapies to support their transition.

Today, Lisa chats with Master Ruth Lee, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner and Dr Rebecca Lau, a medical Doctor on the benefits of TCM vs HRT and if they can compliment each other.

There is not a one size fits all solution to menopause so we hope you take away one or two valuable tips to support your personal experience.
