HRT or the "Natural Route" for Perimenopause? With Hormone Replacement Therapy, Why Is Your Own Research Key? When Should You Give Up Alcohol? with Guest Deanna Boyd

My Aloof Vagina, A Cheeky Guide to Perimenopause

Martha is joined again by Deanna Boyd, Make Up Artist & Photographer, and they discuss the different paths. To HRT or Not to HRT?

What is the outlook and perspective of a woman who has decided to manage all this “naturally” - without HRT and or even herbal HRT alternatives?

How might someone end up on the HRT path in her early 50s?

Which lifestyle change might you feel compelled to make during perimenopause?
(Martha's margarita-loving self is resisting the news.)

And why might reading up on things - step away from the Google first - help us ride this wave with more peace and bring our loved ones along for the ride?

MAV TIP: Whichever path you choose, get informed. Seek out information and support. Don't rely on your gynecologist to know how to guide you. It can be confusing, but you really do get to choose what's right for you and your particular circumstances. Read up on it so that YOU make the decision for yourself.

Take care of yourself. And take care of your vagina!
