And the reality is, if we're looking at just longevity as a whole, the reason why is hormone replacement therapy increases the longevity by reducing cardiovascular risk, osteoporosis risk, and cancer risk. And if we look at the lifespan studies, another study, another meta-analysis also demonstrated a reduction in all-cause mortality." - Betty Murray "If you started hormone replacement, especially the earlier that you started it in the process, you had a 34% decreased risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's. That is a game changer. What if somebody told you that you had a 34% increase in potential upside on an investment? Every one of us would invest. right? Those are great stats. So why wouldn't we invest a 34% increased likelihood to protect ourselves from something, right?" – Betty Murray   Links Mentioned: Sleep E-Book: https://sleep.hormoneshelp.com/ Hormone Quiz: https://quiz.hormoneshelp.com/ Connect with Betty Murray: Living Well Dallas Website: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset Website: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/
