0:21 Andrea outlines the many accomplishments of Dr. JoAnn Manson.
2:18 Andrea and Dr. Manson discuss how the WHI Study focused on post-menopausal women's health and the purpose of the three trials. Two trials focused on hormone therapy and preventing chronic diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, cognitive decline, and related outcomes not the effectiveness of hormone therapy. Another study focused on calcium and vitamin D and the relationship to reducing fractures. The third study was the low-fat diet and whether it correlated to lower breast and colorectal cancer incidences.

13:45 Discussing how hormone therapy has evolved and changed since the study 20 years ago.
