Last week, I introduced the concept of what hormone optimization is and how it differs from hormone therapy. In this episode, let's focus on exploring the myths about using hormones and how you can use hormone optimization to age on your own terms.

Going through menopause means experiencing significant changes in hormone levels, including estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. These hormone shifts will have an impact on how you feel (both mentally and physically) and may even lead you to feel a loss of control over things you had a handle on before.

Hormone therapy, especially hormone optimization, gives women the opportunity to age the way they desire. It helps women experience these changes gradually and gracefully while maintaining physical and mental function as much as possible.

The process of repair is driven by anabolic hormones, and these are the very hormones we lose with age. The earlier you start hormone optimization, the more likely you are to maintain the physical strength you have and protect yourself against osteoporosis. Despite what you may hear, hormone therapy is not risky or dangerous. When facilitated by a medical expert and professional, you can look forward to a lot of benefits.

If you choose not to look into hormone therapy or hormone optimization, you deserve to do it with both eyes open. If you're worried about being judged for asking your medical professionals about it, you're not alone. But don't let misinformation stop you from making an empowered decision for your health, especially one that can significantly impact the later years of your life.
