I NEVER thought I’d go on HRT…�And here I am, just over a year later 👀
So what’s actually changed?
✔️ Better sleep�✔️ Way less anxiety�✔️ More stable mood�✔️ Libido is back�✔️ Fewer aches + pains�✔️ No more hot flashes
Let’s clear a few things up ⬇️
• I chose transdermal estrogen (gel/cream) because it has a lower risk profile (like blood clots) and it’s easier to adjust vs pellets.
• “Bioidentical” is mostly a marketing term, the hormones I take are structurally the SAME as what my body produces.
• I get my HRT through my nurse practitioner + it’s covered by insurance. If you’re getting pushback, there are great telehealth options (happy to share).
Here’s the truth…
I spent YEARS believing HRT was “bad” and that I’d just push through menopause naturally.
But 13 months ago, I made a different choice.�I got educated. I read and studied up. Talked to experts and thought-leaders. I looked at the latest research. I asked better questions.
And I realized… a lot of what I believed was outdated.
And to be clear:�I still prioritize strength training, nutrition, sleep, and stress management.
HRT isn’t magic… but for me, it’s been a game-changer.
If you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause symptoms, hormone changes, or wondering if HRT is right for you, you’re not alone.
We need more open, informed conversations around women’s health.
Comment “BLUEPRINT” and I’ll send you my free Menopause Blueprint , the guide I wish I had when I was figuring this all out 💙
