There are things that infuriate me. I can get fired up. One thing I find particularly annoying is when someone tries to leverage my follower base to sell products from a MLM. Multi level marketing schemes aka pyramid schemes are predatory and the stuff being sold by the link added by an account (and deleted by me) to one of my posts were for a myriad of unregulated and untested products. My audience is not your sales pipeline or whatever lingo your grifters and profiteers are using to enrich themselves personally.

Advocacy in action.
Honored to be in the room for “Overlooked and Underserved,” led by Linda B. Rosenthal, alongside Let’s Talk Menopause, The National Menopause Foundation, and Women’s Health Advocates.
Journalists. Doctors. Midlife women. Attorneys. Legislators.
All showing up with one goal: move women’s health forward.
Real stories. Real expertise. Real urgency.
And honestly? The best time with the best advocates. I’d show up with these women again in a heartbeat.
Because midlife women deserve to be seen, heard, and prioritized. Full stop.

Mammals benefit from estradiol. That said, I was surprised to see an ad from Chewy for estradiol tablets today. And, they have an aggressive cash price. It would be great to see these same prices extended to estradiol intended for people!
