Using the estradiol patch or thinking about starting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in midlife? This is an important conversation every woman needs to hear. In this episode of Her Health Code, we share a PSA on what you need to know before and while using the estradiol patch so you can make informed, confident decisions about your health.

Hormone therapy can be a powerful tool during perimenopause and menopause—but it’s not one-size-fits-all. Understanding how the estradiol patch works, what to watch for, and how it fits into your overall health picture is key to getting the best results.

✨ In this episode, we discuss:
 • Important things to be aware of when using HRT
 • How to advocate for your health and ask your doctor the right questions
• A lesser-known complication associated with the estradiol patch
• Symptoms to watch for, including digestive issues and stomach discomfort
• Why these symptoms are often overlooked or misdiagnosed
• How to ask your doctor questions if something doesn’t feel right
• How to approach HRT with more awareness and confidence

If you’re navigating mystery symptoms during perimenopause or menopause, this episode will help you better understand how to be your own health detective and feel more empowered in your midlife health journey.
