Midlife, Menopause, and Hormone Replacement Therapy-Signs, Symptoms, Solutions, women over 40,perimenopause, midlife

This week we’re here to talk about hormone replacement or HRT. Many women experiment with various forms of hormone therapy, such as the use of birth control pills. We have both used this and other hormone replacement therapies and we are going to tell you our experience.
We are not doctors and cannot tell you what is right for YOU, but we want to share some facts so that you are armed with your own questions to ask yourself and your medical provider.
Some women sail through menopause without HRT, while others have found the symptoms to severely decrease quality of life and have opted to supplement with estrogen, progesterone and possibly testosterone. This is a delicate, precious and joyous time in life. To figure out if HRT is right for you, we encourage you to listen to this episode, employ the resources we’ve provided and start asking questions!
