You may have seen recent headlines saying hormone therapy is safe again, and overall, that’s great news! The only thing the headlines miss is that not all hormone therapies are the same. At The Hive, we use bioidentical estradiol and progesterone because they’re the exact same molecules your body has been making for decades.
Older synthetic hormones like Premarin or synthetic progestins can still be effective, but because they’re not identical to human hormones, they can behave differently in the body and carry a higher risk profile in certain areas, especially breast tissue, clotting, and metabolic pathways.
While the overall direction in research is reassuring, our approach stays the same: use the form the body recognizes, customize dosing, monitor closely, and choose the option with the most favorable safety and benefit balance long-term.
