Herbalist and nutritionist Camille Freeman explains why the term "hormone replacement therapy (HRT)" can mislead patients by implying menopause is a problem to be fixed, and why many practitioners are switching to "menopausal hormone therapy (MHT)."
She urges clinicians to be mindful of their language, clarifies what MHT better reflects about hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, and invites listeners to adopt more accurate, non-pathologizing terminology.
