## Resource

Every cell in your body has hormone receptors, which means when your hormones are off, nothing works the way it should. And yet, hormone replacement therapy remains one of the most misunderstood and under-explained topics in women's health. The confusion isn't your fault. A lot of it traces back to one study from 2002 that scared an entire generation of doctors away from prescribing hormones, and the ripple effects are still being felt today. In this solo episode of Hello Hormones, Dr. Carrie is answering the questions you actually submitted, the ones your doctor glossed over, the ones nobody's giving you straight answers on, and the ones you weren't sure were okay to ask. If HRT has felt overwhelming or out of reach, this is the episode that changes that. What's Discussed: (4:27) Can supplements replace hormones in full menopause? (7:09) The hysterectomy question that trips everyone up. (11:22) Finding the right HRT provider when your current one won't go there. (15:41) More HRT options than you were probably told about. (20:25) Why HRT is giving you a skin rash and what to do instead. (23:06) Water retention on HRT and how to actually fix it. (24:02) Symptoms vs. labs: how do you know it's actually working? (28:22) Just started BHRT: when should you test? Thank you to our Sponsors! Timeline: Support your cells and how you age with Mitopure® Gummies from Timeline.
