Way to go Laura I can’t tag you but I love your style.

It’s shocking that mainstream medicine pays so much attention to estrogen at the expense of progesterone.

The difference between bioidentical progesterone and synthetic progestin is profound. We deserve better.

We shouldn’t have to pay out of pocket for forward-thinking practioners who understand this.

🎙️ NEW Episode of The Hotflash inc Podcast is out now.⁠

In episode 187 of The Hotflash inc Podcast I talk to Dr. Rachel Pope, an OB-GYN, certified menopause practitioner, and urologist.⁠

Dr. Rachel Pope breaks down how a single study was misunderstood, misrepresented, and then repeated everywhere — including the claim that HRT reduces all risks by 60%. That number didn’t make statistical sense, and the study wasn’t even observational — it was retrospective database research with major limitations.⁠

Struggling in perimenopause? It’s rarely just one thing – hormones, neurodivergence, and your nervous system all play a role.⁠

In episode 186 of The Hotflash inc podcast I bring you a solo episode where I share why a holistic approach matters and why it’s so important to choose carefully who you confide in.⁠

According to , brands like that set out out targeting women over 40 and are now figuring out how to cater to tech-savvy, authenticity craving millennials, who according to the US Census Bureau, will make up 75 percent of the workforce by 2030.⁠

With the growth of awareness in perimenopause and menopause, they will be better positioned for perimenopause than their predecessors, Wile co-founder, president and chief operating officer Corey Scholibo told the magazine.⁠

"The Millennial customer can actually go through the entire journey without having to be left behind, so they'll be walking into solutions right away," he told the magazine.⁠

Any millennials out there?⁠
What are you experiencing?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠

If there is one thing I want everyone to know about hormone therapy, it’s the difference between progesterone and progestin.⁠

And that progesterone, which is most like what our body makes, comes with all the benefits and none of the risks seen in clinical studies.⁠

Yes, it’s true, not everyone does well on it.⁠
But that is true for all hormone therapy.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
