*Unpopular opinion ahead*
I can't tell you how many menopause experts and influencers I follow who talk about "rewriting your menopause experience" and then proceed to talk about the symptoms checklist, how HRT is now safe and is THE way to deal with symptoms so you can feel like YOU again.
Whilst this obviously resonates with women in my mind this is NOT "rewriting" your menopause story!
And my objection is not what you think......
It is NOT with the HRT piece of this approach
I am not anti-HRT, I do not think it causes cancer and I do think it can be a supportive treatment for many women.
My problem with this approach is that the focus is all on SYMPTOMS.
I truly believe that if you want to rewrite your menopause experience, you HAVE to move past the menopause=symptoms language
