72. When Should You Start HRT? The Truth for Women in Their 40s

Confused about when to start hormone replacement therapy? You're not alone. In this episode of Perimenopause Simplified, we're cutting through the mixed messages and breaking down when to consider starting HRT, what symptoms to look out for, and how to know if it's the right move for you.

If you're in your 40s and feeling dismissed, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin…this one's for you.

We cover:

  • Why hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is so confusing and what's changed since the 2002 WHI study
  • The difference between perimenopause and menopause & why that matters for HRT timing
  • Common early symptoms that may signal hormone shifts (and which hormone to start with first)
  • When estrogen might be added - it's earlier than you think
  • The risks of waiting too long to start HRT
  • Why and when I started HRT myself
