HRT - Is it too early to start?

In this episode, I share my personal experience with HRT and my perspective on when it may make sense to start—especially during perimenopause and menopause. Every woman’sjourney through perimenopause and menopause is different, but this conversation may give you a perspective you haven’t thought about before.

We’ll break down some of the key benefits of HRT, what foundations are important to have in place first, and clear up common misunderstandings—especially the idea that HRT is a weight-loss solution. If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and feeling confused by all the noise, this episode is for you.

So tell me—where are you right now in perimenopause or menopause, and what’s your biggest question about HRT?
