HRT - when is comes to HRT, there is a tremendous amount of information to read through.
I’m sharing this article (includes a study) about testosterone for your information and discernment.
The main takeaway is to understand the facts about HRT as they emerge, and your options based on symptoms and prevention. This is not for or against testosterone, it’s simply new info that has emerged and be sure to read all the way through. Including the study protocol.
What’s true and what’s not true for effectiveness is harder to discern. Symptoms vary from woman to woman and so do potential side effects. Some women experience side effects, others don’t. Both are normal for ‘your’ unique body system.
Most important is paying attention to your body, and how it adjusts over 3,6,12+ months to HRT use and in many, HRT dosages will often need to be adjusted.
Questions about that should be directed to your Dr (I am not a Dr, but am a Women’s Wellness Coach including Peri/Menopause ) and CPT.
There will be new studies, new information that may come out and Dr.’s should be aware of those to best support you.
✅however, You are the expert on you! ✅ you know how you feel, your symptoms, what likely works-and doesn’t, so remember that.
Share your experience with HRT. What worked, what’s didn’t. Is there anything that you learned that might help other women that are navigating the consideration of HRT? Let’s normalize the conversation.
Some women experience side effects and are unable to utilize it. If that’s you, how are you navigating your wellness to support bone, heart health, and clear thinking?
