Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin revealed one of the secrets to their long-lasting marriage: hormone replacement therapy.
Rinna, 61, broached the topic during the Friday, April 4, episode of her and Hamlin’s “Let’s Not Talk About the Husband” podcast while explaining how they stay active despite being in the “retirement” age bracket.
“I think when people get really complacent, they’re no longer curious, they’re no longer caring about how they look,” Rinna said. “For a woman, you hit menopause and you’re not on hormone replacement therapy — which, by the way, I think is key for everyone. I’m not an expert, but you’ve gotta be on hormone replacement. You have to. Have to!”
Hamlin, 73, agreed with his wife, adding, “I’m just gonna chime in here and say as soon as she went on hormone replacement, our life got really good, everybody.”
Hormone replacement therapy treats symptoms of menopause like hot flashes, night sweats and mood swings and works by replacing the hormones your body no longer makes once you enter menopause. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum noted that some research has previously found that HRT increases the risk of breast cancer in some people, but she’s still a “huge proponent” of the treatment.
“I am not an expert, but I swear to God, if I wasn’t on hormone replacement therapy,” she continued.
Hamlin then added, “We would be divorced. More than likely.”
Rinna recalled having some skepticism about starting HRT when her doctor first proposed it to her around age 52.
