Over a decade ago, Dr. Jonathan Wright introduced the concept of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) in his book "Natural Hormone Replacement for Women Over 45" (Wright JVW, Morgenthaler J. Smart Publications, 1997). At that time, only a few forward-thinking doctors were familiar with bio-identical hormones. Many women first learned about HRT and BHRT from this groundbreaking book, while others were later introduced to the topic by TV personality Suzanne Somers, who shared her personal experiences with a different version of BHRT in her books.
The significant shift from HRT to BHRT began in 2002 following the early termination of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), a large government-funded study that revealed the risks of conventional HRT far outweighed its benefits. In their updated book, "Stay Young & Sexy with Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement: The Science Explained," authors Wright and Lenard present numerous examples of overlooked scientific studies and contemporary clinical experiences, providing robust evidence for the safety and benefits of BHRT.
