Not Loving Your Hormone Therapy? 5 Things to Change So It Actually Works

You thought hormone therapy would fix everything. Instead, you're feeling moody, foggy, sleepless, or just kind of... off. Your bestie says it changed her life. Social media says it's the holy grail. So why isn't it working for you?

In this episode, I'm walking you through five reasons your hormone therapy might be falling flat, and what to do about it. Whether you're on progesterone, estradiol, testosterone, DHEA, or some wild cocktail of all four, this is the troubleshooting guide I wish every woman got before starting.

We're talking starting order, dosing mistakes, delivery routes (patches, pills, gels, oh my), why skin location actually matters, and how to know if bioidentical or synthetic is right for your body. Because you deserve more than a "meh" experience. You deserve hormone therapy that actually works.

Let's fix it.

I Also Discuss:

• Why starting with the wrong hormone (or too many at once) can cause side effects

• How to spot if your dose is too low or too high for your sensitivity

• What to know about different delivery routes—patches, gels, creams, and more

• The surprising impact of where you apply topical hormones on your body

• Bioidentical vs synthetic hormone therapy: what's the difference and why it matters
