Started HRT and don’t feel different yet? Don’t give up just yet.

I see this SO often.

Sometimes you feel better quickly. Sometimes it takes a little longer. And sometimes the first dose or delivery method just isn’t the right fit.

That doesn’t mean HRT isn’t working.

Give your body some time. Pay attention to the little changes. And if something doesn’t feel right, talk to your provider before stopping. You deserve a provider who is willing to pivot, be patient and help guide your journey. HRT is a process, you deserve a partner in.

One of the hardest things to see is women suffering through menopause because they’re afraid of hormone therapy.

Much of that fear comes from the WHI study and the headlines that followed.

But the story is more nuanced. The women in the study were, on average, 63 years old, and many started hormones years after menopause. The increased breast cancer risk was associated with a specific combination of estrogen and synthetic progestin—not estrogen alone.

Hormone therapy isn’t right for everyone, but women deserve current, accurate information so they can make informed decisions—not decisions based on fear.

Have you been told you’re not a candidate for HRT bc of one of the reasons listed above? Another reason?? This list is exhaustive but definitely not exclusive, if you’ve been victimized by outdated medicine let’s connect!

Your neurotoxin results don’t exist in isolation.

High-intensity workouts, alcohol, sauna use, and sun exposure can all influence how quickly your body breaks down neurotoxin. I’m certainly not saying to eliminate these things- but do keep in mind how they may impact your treatment.

It doesn’t change the result—it changes the timeline.
