Here's the truth about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). HRT is often used to manage symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, particularly during menopause. These hormones can be administered via oral tablets, skin patches, gels, creams, and vaginal rings.

As with most things, my general approach is to prioritize natural methods first, as the body is inherently designed to produce and regulate hormones. That being said, there are definitely cases where additional tools, including HRT, may be helpful for a period to help the body function better.

Here are some common HRT side effects: headaches, breast pain, nausea, mood changes, weight gain, skin irritations, and more. When thinking long term - what is the plan for managing your health not just now, but in the future? These initial side effects can sometimes turn into bigger issues down the road.

The decision to use HRT is highly personal and should be made with full awareness of the benefits, risks, and alternatives. If you've had questions about HRT or how to regulate hormones naturally, I'd love to help.
