Midlife hormonal struggles look like...

You don’t have to suffer through a decade of hormonal chaos.

It pains me how much unnecessary suffering is happening because folks aren’t aware of their options with hormone replacement therapy.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

  • No. It is a tragedy that the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) trial was misrepresented and this misinformation deprived a generation of the benefits of HRT. We now have a much more nuanced understanding of the risks and benefits of HRT and can offer it with confidence. We will have a detailed risk-benefit discussion individualized to your health history.

  • Yes. Peri/menopause wrecks psychological havoc, so it only makes sense that psychiatrists have this effective tool in our toolbox. I did additional training to learn to prescribe hormones, and it has added so much efficacy and satisfaction to my practice.

  • Perimenopausal symptoms can start as early as one’s 30s. If you are in menopause, it is recommended to start HRT within ten years of your last period.

  • There are lab tests available that we can discuss, but honestly, your experience of your symptoms is our best data, and labs may not be necessary.
