The HRT Scares Are Dead: Why This Doctor Is Changing How Canadian Women Treat Menopause

If you’re tired of feeling dismissed when you bring up menopause symptoms to your doctor, you’re not imagining things — it’s a problem many women face.

The honest truth? Most medical schools give shockingly minimal training on this topic, which is why millions of women feel dismissed and stuck. Enter Dr. Eileen Wang, MD, who decided to change the outdated healthcare model and launch Modern Menopause to put science (and women’s actual well-being) first.

Debunking Myths About Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

The original Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study from the late 1990s raised alarms about hormone therapy, linking it to increased risks of conditions like breast cancer and stroke. But later research has offered a more nuanced picture — showing that the risks and benefits depend on factors like age, health history, and the type of hormones used. This single study terrified an entire generation of women into suffering in silence.

But here's the big news: recent and thorough research has provided a better understanding. More sophisticated, longitudinal research, including a significant 18-year publication in a leading American medical journal with 26,000 women, reveals a markedly different scenario. Some studies have suggested that using HRT might be linked to decreased rates of some health problems, although the results are mixed and rely on things including age, how long the treatment lasts, and the person's health history.

HRT may help with more than just menopausal symptoms; it may also help with bone health and other areas of well-being. However, the long-term effects of HRT on illnesses like heart disease and cognitive function vary from person to person. At Modern Menopause, advanced, tailored HRT isn't just about feeling better right now; it's about giving women the tools they need to have a confident, healthy future.

Beyond managing menopausal symptoms, HRT may support bone health and other aspects of well-being, though its long-term effects on conditions like heart disease and cognitive function differ from person to person. At Modern Menopause, advanced, personalized HRT isn’t just about feeling better now; it’s about empowering women for a confident, healthier future.

Expert Care, Accessible Across Canada

Modern Menopause combines the convenience of telemedicine with the depth of a comprehensive 40-minute assessment with a skilled clinician, as opposed to 5-10 minute text-based visits most other platforms offer.

This patient-centered session is dedicated to reviewing your history and discussing every symptom, from hot flashes to anxiety. This level of detail ensures you finally feel heard, understood, and equipped with a clear, science-backed plan that determines the most appropriate path, whether it involves Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or effective non-hormonal strategies.

Commitment To Better Menopause Care

The driving mission of Modern Menopause has been to offer knowledgeable and personalized support to women during midlife. The clinic was founded by Dr. Eileen Wang, MD, with the vision of solving a recognized issue in healthcare: the lack of specialized menopause treatment.

The team, which includes board-certified physicians and nurses, is focused on creating tailored treatment plans. These plans go beyond reporting noticeable relief from symptoms such as hot flashes and brain fog, though results can vary, to incorporate long-term health goals, including potential preventative measures for conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease.
