Menopause Mondays Series: Embracing Change, my experience with HRT.

from Spill with Me Jenny D..... Real People, Real Stories, Heartfelt Conversations with Jenny D. · host jenniferdilucia /JCD Ventures LLC

In this Menopause Mondays follow-up, I am joined by Menopause Specialist/Nurse Practitioner Kelley DeFilippis as we sat down to review my own experience with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). I have been on HRT since May — the estradiol patch, micronized progesterone, and estrogen cream.  We discuss the ups and downs and the adjustments that reduced brain fog, night sweats and mood swings. Kelley and I open up about our early on symptoms before HRT and the side effects it may have caused us during those sleepless nights.   We touched on practical care tips, the potential role of low-dose testosterone, strength training, Cornerstone Wellness services, and why seeing a trained menopause provider and advocating for your health matters.
