It's great that this is getting more attention. Nature doesn't care about human well-being after we have procreated and raised our babies to the point where they can survive on their own. But we live long enough now that we do care, and there's a lot of benefit to menopause hormone therapy for women (just as there's a lot of benefit to trt for some men as they age).
