Show notes

Today, I am thrilled to welcome all of my wonderful, Everyday Wellness listeners to a special episode of the podcast they specifically requested- an Ask Me Anything session with yours truly! Interestingly, the subject that resonated most among listeners was hormone replacement therapy. To be crystal clear, I am here only to provide general insights and share information. If I answer your question today, I earnestly recommend that you listen, learn, and then find a practitioner who can best support your particular needs. It is essential to remember that we are all bio-individuals. So what works for me may not work for someone else. I also want to ensure that women who choose not to pursue HRT are fully informed about the potential consequences of that choice. So, I appeal to you not to let fear dictate your decision-making around HRT if it is appropriate for you. I believe informed consent is paramount, regardless of how you navigate the perimenopause and menopause phases of your life, and I ask you to embark on this journey with me, free from judgment. Stay tuned for my advice, recommendations, and resources! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Is it too late to start HRT at 62? What is the net impact of menopause? Why is estrogen essential for health and wellness? The benefits of progesterone therapy. What is the best time to take progesterone? How would I approach hormone therapy with a 52-year-old who has had a partial hysterectomy and has been in menopause for two years? When is the best time to start HRT? Adrenal support for perimenopause. For how long should a woman stay on HRT? How can you increase your progesterone without taking a pill? Janet is 57 and still has a menstrual cycle. Does she need HRT?
