Full Protocol

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.

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.

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.
