Podcast: Understanding Modern HRT in Integrative Practice | with Dr Lucy Caratti
In this episode of The MediHerb Podcast, integrative GP, Dr Lucy Caratti explores the evolution of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—from the early use of synthetic hormones to the modern-day application of body-identical options.
She addresses historical safety concerns and shares how today’s tailored, bio-identical therapies can support women navigating significant menopausal symptoms.
Dr Caratti highlights the wide-reaching systemic impacts of menopause, touching on the cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, and urogenital systems. She explains how, when prescribed with care, HRT can play a vital role in mitigating these effects.
Beyond hormones, Dr Caratti discusses how the best outcomes arise from a truly integrative approach—combining medical therapy with herbal, nutritional, and lifestyle strategies for personalised, holistic support.
