When the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause begin to affect our quality of life… we do NOT have to suffer through and just put up with it. Nor do we need to take strong pharmaceuticals that come with their own side effects. The good news is, there is a middle ground in the form of bioidentical HRT which is now also known as MHT - Menopause Hormone Therapy. ​ In this “Best of Series” I’ll explain the HRT options that are now available to us, AND why we still need to pay attention to diet, lifestyle, stress management, sleep and exercise. It doesn’t need to be HRT or natural, it can be both! I want to give you the facts so you can make informed decisions about what YOU feel is right for YOUR body. ​ I break it down into... * Diet and lifestyle considerations, whether you’re choosing to use MHT or not * Who MHT is suitable for and when it’s appropriate to use it * Why MHT should never be one size fits all. We look at the 3 different options available, depending on where you’re at in your peri/menopause journey * The risks and downsides of MHT Links and resources: Brands of body identical MHT available in Australia and New Zealand (With full credit to Dr Lara Briden and her amazing book Hormone Repair Manual) Body identical estradiol Climara patch Estradot patch Estraderm patch Estrogel gel Sandrena gel Vagifem Low Estrofem tablet Body identical estriol Ovestin pessary Body Identical progesterone Prometrium capsule Utrogestan capsule For more about me and what I do, check out my website https://kyliepinwill.com Make sure you hit SUBSCRIBE so you don’t miss a thing!
