Menopause Brain Fog in the News
Jane Brody’s New York Times article about the brain changes of menopause caused by estrogen deficiency (“The Brain Fog of Menopause”, December 17, 2018) is both an example of the growing knowledge about the benefits of post menopausal hormone therapy (HRT) and the continuing confusion and misinformation about HRT, especially about the associated risks.

Wrinkles around the Mouth
