For over 20 years women have been denied life- saving, life-changing, life enhancing support. When data is manipulated and science gets changed to fit a certain narrative - people suffer. Sound familiar? It’s happened before. No more.
HRT is safe and effective and it changes lives and it impacts women’s lives in a positive way and it reduces the risk of osteoporosis - dementia - Alzheimer’s, heart disease in women and the list goes on and on and on.
Heart disease is the number one killer for women in Canada. Oestrogen protects the heart and when oestrogen drops in perimenopause and menopause, it puts women at risk for heart disease. Why doesn’t the heart and stroke foundation educate on this?
The loss of oestrogen and changes with testosterone and progesterone can result in low libido, brain fog, heart palpitations, cholesterol increase, muscle pain, joint pain, frozen shoulder, sore feet, weight gain, migraines and so many other symptoms. It’s not just sleep and hot flashes. Most healthcare professionals are NOT educated on HRT and women’s hormones.
Don’t take no for an answer -ask for another opinion - we have so many incredible healthcare providers in this area and I’m so blessed to work with one of them.
Most women when they enter perimenopause and menopause are offered an SSRI for anxiety or depression, and their hormones are never assessed.
I hope one day justice will be served to the people who purposely botched the results of the largest study ever done on women back in the 90s, which changed the narrative to fit whatever it was they were paid off to fill. Millions of women’s lives were negatively affected when HRT was taken away. I am lucky my Mother had access to natural herbals and progesterone we had to beg to get. She was open to listening to me as I studied hormones at that time in our lives.
I’ve been on HRT for ++20 mths now and it has changed my life for the good - as a holistic nutritionist of 21 years who uses mostly functional medicine with her body I can safely say that bio identical hormones and the like have changed my life.
Estrogen
Progesterone
Testosterone
We need those hormones in brain and gut and mitochondria to function and live long healthy.
The FDA in the USA removed the black box warnings yesterday. Canada will take its time no doubt to make a statement.
Remember it it’s not that suddenly these medications are safe. It’s that the FDA finally has listened to the voices of women banging down their doors to remove this label.

When I’m running my healthy hormone workshop, my question is this “when you go through perimenopause and menopause oestrogen rapidly is decreasing - so my question to you is where do you want your oestrogen to come from to protect your heart and your body and extend your life so that you can live long and healthy? You can eat well - you can take herbs. You can do the lifting - you can do the mental health stuff and if your body still not getting estrogen, where do you choose for it to come from?”
Here’s the thing - HRT might not be everybody’s cup of tea or choice and some women may not need it AND knowing that it’s a safe option for women to choose from - well that opens the door door that’s been locked for over 20 years.
