LATEST EPISODE 🔗
Your heartbeat decides how much estradiol you get, and critics call that unpredictable.
After weeks of discussing FDA approved alternatives to the patch, I'm turning to the one option that isn't FDA approved at all; the one that respected physicians attack hardest.
Pellet therapy has been around…

A respected gynecologist says the O-shot has no biological basis. I think she's wrong, and I can tell you exactly why.
Dr. Jen Gunter has written twice that the O-shot is untested and built on a sketchy past. Both articles are linked below, and I'd encourage you to read them.
Her central claim i…
There's an injection that improves orgasms and urinary leaking at the same time, and almost no woman has heard of it.
The O-shot involves no estrogen and no hormones. It's made from your own blood, drawn from your arm, and spun down before it goes anywhere. The needle is the same one we use for B…
Every vaginal estrogen product treats the inside. Only one of them treats the outside.

We cover the creams, the ins…

Running out of the estradiol patch is no longer a hypothetical for a lot of women, so I'm starting a series on the FDA approved alternatives worth having ready.
In this episode, we look at the vaginal ring: what it delivers,…
The estradiol patch may be convenient, but getting the right dose is far more complicated than it seems.
Finding the right hormone dose is not as simple as picking a number from a chart. Two women can use the same patch and have completely different results.
In this episode, we get into what hap…
The most popular estrogen therapy may not work the way you think it does.
The estradiol patch has become a go-to option for menopause therapy, but popularity does not automatically mean every woman gets the same results.
In this episode, we look at what actually happens after the patch goes on a…
Bioidentical hormones have become one of the biggest debates in menopause medicine...but how much of what you've heard is actually true?
Few topics create more confusion than bioidentical hormone therapy. Some call it the future of menopause care, and others dismiss it outright.
