HRT & Menopause

3.8

Strong

consensus

Based on expert consensus data from publicly available videos, not medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement.

Consensus Protocol

Dosage

Prescription-only and individualized — there is no self-administered 'dose
' Experts describe HRT as titrated to symptoms and labs by a menopause-trained clinician, not a fixed protocol

Form

Where experts express a preference, it's bioidentical: transdermal estradiol (patch/gel/spray) for systemic estrogen, plus micronized (oral) progesterone for women with an intact uterus
Low-dose vaginal estrogen is a separate, lower-risk option for genitourinary symptoms

Timing

The 'timing hypothesis' — experts favor starting near menopause onset (broadly within ~10 years), and starting when perimenopausal symptoms begin rather than waiting for a formal menopause definition.

Notes

This block summarizes what the experts describe on video about forms and timing — it is educational, not a prescription
Route, formulation, dose, and candidacy are physician decisions, and the calculus changes for women with a history of hormone-sensitive cancer, clotting disorders, or liver disease
