If you've started hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and you're not feeling great right away, don't panic. You're not broken, and your hormones aren't either.
In this solo episode, I'm breaking down the most common side effects women experience when starting HRT: what causes them, how to fix them, and when to talk to your doctor.
We cover:-
Why side effects are common when starting HRT and why they don't mean it's "not working"
-
The most common side effects backed by research
-
How to know if your estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone levels are too high or too low
-
When to see your doctor and what questions to ask
