Has the latest research on hormone replacement therapy left you confused and reconsidering your choice? Here is the information you need to make the decision that's right for you!

The recent findings on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) have left millions of women feeling angry, worried, and full of questions. For decades, doctors have recommended HRT to relieve the symptoms of menopause and ward off potential health risks. But do the risks outweigh the benefits?

The Hormone Decision cuts through the confusion to give you the true facts about what HRT can and can't do for you, what the true risks are, and the vital, reliable information you need to make the best, most informed choice for your needs and lifestyle.

Inside, you'll find the seven most critical questions--and, more important, their answers--you need to ask yourself and your doctor:

• What's really happening to my body during menopause?
• What can I do to combat my menopausal symptoms?
• Can HRT benefit me?
• Is HRT too risky to consider?
• If I start on HRT, do I have to keep taking it after menopause?
• If I'm on HRT, should I stop immediately in light of the new findings? And what is the best way to stop?
• What else can I do to enhance my overall health, with or without HRT?

The Hormone Decision gives you the facts that you have been searching for so you can make the best decision for a lifetime of good health.
