HRT Made Simple™
Learn how to confidently speak to your doctor about the benefits of hormone replacement therapy so you can set yourself up for symptom-free, unmedicated years to come without feeling confused, dismissed, or leaving the medical office minus your HRT script.
Ready to reject the notion that losing your strength, wits, and waistline is “just a part of getting older”?
Want to empower yourself and become your best health advocate so you can revive your lost libido to reignite the flame with your partner, banish the emotional mood swings so you can find joy and peace in life again, and reduce your future risk of serious disease states like cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and dementia?
Then you’re in the right place!
You’re also in the right place if you’re a health practitioner who wants to learn more about the benefits of hormone replacement therapy and how to talk to your clients about it in an informed way.
If you value health as a midlife woman, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) must be part of your health strategy at some point. And it’s best employed sooner rather than later.
Midlife doesn’t mean you have to…
Throw away all your clothes and re-purchase everything in a size (or two!) bigger.
Spend thousands on marriage counselling because all of a sudden you’re doubting your life choices (hormones can make us think crazy things!)
Say goodbye to luscious locks and glowing skin.
Give up on ever having a healthy libido again (not to mention the desert that’s taken up residence in your vagina!)
Suffer with anxiety, ruminating thoughts, insomnia or depression that seems to have come out of nowhere stealing your joy, motivation and zest for life.
Say goodbye to muscle mass and strength that seems to have vanished along with your 30s.
Fear future diseases that are all too common amongst your friends and family members, assuming this is your inevitable fate too (it’s not!)
But midlife does mean taking your low hormones - that contribute to all these symptoms - seriously and learning how and when to replace them safely and effectively.
Facts about HRT
"Women using hormone replacement therapy were overall 30 percent less likely to die than those not on hormone therapy."
American College of Cardiology
"Women who used HRT saw a 23% reduction in breast cancer risk as well as a 33% decreased risk of hip fracture, a 37% decreased risk of colon cancer, and significant reduction in menopausal symptoms. And - if participants got breast cancer they had a reduced mortality rate of 40%."
Women’s Health Initiative
"Those with the BRCA gene who take HRT have less risk of developing breast cancer and less risk of dying from breast cancer."
The Cancer Journal
So much of what you’ve been told about hormone replacement therapy has been wrong!
You’ve been misled about HRT (no, it’s not dangerous!) and it’s time to spread the TRUTH about the health and longevity benefits of natural hormone replacement therapy.
Have you heard that HRT can increase your risk of breast cancer?
A lot of women have but this is completely untrue!
For years you’ve been told that HRT causes breast cancer but this couldn’t be further from the truth! Not only does HRT not cause breast cancer, it actually protects against breast cancer and other disease states.
Or maybe your doc has told you to take The Pill or use the Mirena until menopause and then stop, just to get you through the perimenopause transition. But taking these types of synthetic hormones can be dangerous and completely discounts all the invisible benefits of our natural God-given hormones during perimenopause and beyond!
Or you may be fearful of hormones because you reacted poorly to The Birth Control Pill, but those aren’t real hormones! They are synthetic medications that can have side effects in the body so you cannot compare them to natural hormone replacement therapy.
Or perhaps you’ve tried HRT but decided it “didn’t work for you” so you’ve given up (probably before you even really got started correctly). You see, our natural hormones don’t just “not work”. There are reasons why your first attempt failed. But you shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. What you need is a proper action plan to introduce HRT effectively.
I know HRT can be confusing and overwhelming.
There’s so much conflicting information out there.
Who are you to trust?
Imagine if you had all the HRT basics laid out for you in an easy to understand way so you felt completely confident walking into your doctor’s office and advocating for what you know your body needs in order to feel better and stay healthy long-term.
I’m here to bust through misconceptions and mistruths about HRT so you can get clear on how HRT can kick your symptoms and support your longevity.
What are the benefits of using HRT?
Cardiovascular Health
Heart disease is the #1 killer of women in the western world, yet breast cancer is far more feared (but has a MUCH higher survival rate). HRT protects against CVD.
Bone Health
You are not destined to get osteoporosis as you age but in order to prevent bone disease you need optimal levels of hormones onboard.
Brain Health
We have many studies proving the brain-protective benefits of HRT. You do not have to fear dementia!
Sleep Benefits
Progesterone helps us get to sleep and estrogen helps us stay asleep. Hormones are life-changing for sleep, and are a midlife woman’s BFF.
Mood Benefits
Feeling like a hot mess, snapping at your family, having little patience left or ruminating in anxiety each night is no way to live - and you don’t have to when you get your HRT dialled in, correctly.
Cancer Prevention
Not only do natural hormones NOT cause cancer but they can actually help prevent cancer.
