🚩RED FLAG ALERT

When someone says “mild symptoms” aren’t reason to start HRT, this demonstrates:

❌A complete misunderstanding of what is happening physiologically
❌A disregard for the complex metabolic shifts happening with hormone decline
❌Ignorance of the data that says starting HRT earlier has better outcomes
❌A clear example of medical gaslighting

Even if your favorite fitness professional* is spouting this nonsense.

I’m not an HRT evangelist. It’s not “HRT or Bust.” However, HRT (done well) has the potential to make significant and impactful changes in women’s lives both immediately and in the long run.

Every woman should understand the full implications of hormone decline and the potential long-term effects that can have - and then choose accordingly.

*In fact, it was a very credentialed fitness professional and not “influencer” who said this

Don’t be fooled. 😵‍💫

Whether you use birth control or not, you should know how it works, what its side effects are and what the risks are.

It is not benign.

It is not balancing your hormones.

And it might be fueling the fire that is causing hormonal issues because those are being ignored.

PS you can be pro woman, pro feminism and still question the rampant use of birth control 😉

Womanhood is not synonymous with suffering. And women deserve to live a vibrant, joyful life. 💃🏼

I’m Alise Greenfield, a functional medicine NP and women’s hormone expert.

I’ve work with hundreds of women. And I’ve seen over and over, women’s health starts with connection, with trust. 💜

No more 15 minute appointments and “see you next year.”

This is deeper than that. This is what medicine should be. 🙏🏼

If you’re in NH or ME and ready to get started —> here’s how we can work together in 2026!

The healthcare system continues to fail women.

Partly because it wasn’t designed for women. And partly because our medical education also ignores women.

These are the stories I hear from friends & patients every day.

We can do better

This is an insurance company issue. But this is also a pharmacy issue. has been out of estradiol patches for months. But has no problem keeping them in stock. So we don’t have a drug shortage.

Somehow, I feel like if we had a Vi**ra shortage, we’d get that resolved reeaaaal fast. 🫠

If you’ve never heard of a PBM before - look it up. It’s disgusting that an insurance company gets to control all arms of getting a prescription med, from what they’ll cover, what the price of the med is and where you can get it filled. Talk about a monopoly. 😵‍💫

American healthcare is not for the people. It’s for the corporations.

🚩Red Flag if your provider tells you persistent period problems - like heavy bleeding, pain or irregular cycles - is not enough of an indication to adjust your thyroid medication.

The thyroid is intimately linked to your period. 🔗

Suboptimal thyroid function can contribute to ongoing period problems.

Yes, even with “normal” labs -> don’t forget “normal” is not optimal. 😬

Optimal thyroid = better reproductive hormone symphony = less likely to have period problems. 🥳

And of course, the thyroid is not the only reason for these symptoms. We can’t have tunnel vision. But we also can’t ignore a TSH of 4.5 with heavy bleeding that causes anemia, which leads to dizziness and faintness. Yes, a real story. 🫣

Reminder: Being a woman is not synonymous with suffering. 💕

Women’s health is literally like the Wild Wild West 🤠

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve been told by a medical provider regarding your period problems? 👇🏼

No shade to medical aesthetics.

HRT & Botox aren’t in the same class, though.

HRT requires precision and monitoring. It requires evaluating the whole picture.

You can’t slap HRT on and ignore the rest of the endocrine system, the metabolic dysfunction that can come with perimenopause, the changes in the gut and mood - the rest of the woman, essentially.

It requires a deeper level of medical care than what a med spa provides.

And it’s being added to med spa menus too cavalierly. 😬

What do you think?

You cannot take a myopic approach to hormones and expect great results. 🫣

I’m Alise, a functional medicine NP and woman’s hormone expert. I help you feel better than “just fine.” 💪🏼

My patient was previously seen by a Menopause Society certified provider. They completely ignored her thyroid, which was grossly under-treated. (And she was SYMPTOMATIC). 😬

S*x hormones & thyroid hormones are intimately linked —> can’t treat one and not look at the other!

That’s why I do this work. Too many women get brushed off, get inadequate care, are thrown on birth control for “hormone balancing” and are still left in the dark, feeling like crap.

I take a comprehensive approach to care because we have to look at the WHOLE PICTURE. Kind of like you’re a whole a$$ human being - it’s a novel concept, I know. 🙄

The Hormone Clarity Consult will help give you more answers and be a gateway into understanding your unique hormone story. If you’re in NH or ME, comment CLARITY to get more information!

I can’t be the only one who thinks birth control is a tool of oppression marketed and packaged as a woman’s liberation symbol.

It always started that way - Margaret Sanger, one of the pioneers of birth control, was a eugenicist.

Eugenics is about control, racism, prejudices and oppression.

That advent of birth control had positive effects! It allows women to control their fertility. Which means they can advance education, enter the workplace and avoid pregnancy, among other things.

But it sure isn’t benign. 🫣

It’s still a tool of oppression. It’s how we silence women when their bodies are knocking at the door, saying “something’s wrong.” Instead of saying “let’s open the door and explore,” we say “ssshhhh, we don’t need to look at that, just take this pill to make it all better.”

I’m a women’s hormone nurse practitioner. Women are my work. Women are the reason I go into the office each day. I am pro-woman - all day, every day.

Which means asking the hard questions: are we actually contributing to women’s oppression by giving out birth control like it’s a cure-all?

If I had a dollar for every time I heard these, I’d be writing this from a tropical island 🏝️

I’m Alise -> a functional medicine NP and women’s hormone expert. I was taught these lies in NP school and lucky for me (and you!), I realized quickly there’s more to the story.

🧪Lab testing can be an integral part of putting together the picture in your hormone health.

I know how difficult it can be to get the testing and have the right interpretation - and then figure out what to do with that information!

That’s why I created The Hormone Clarity Consult - a way for you to get more answers and more clarity.

You get:
✅Comprehensive blood work —> over 70 markers, including hormones!
✅60 minute visit with me, a women’s hormone expert NP, to interpret and explain your results

This is the place to get answers, feel seen, heard and validated.
