The program

Hormone care that starts with your history.

Hot flashes, poor sleep, mood changes and other symptoms of perimenopause and menopause are worth talking about. Your provider asks about them, and about your personal and family history, before deciding whether hormone therapy is appropriate for you.

Where it is, your provider chooses the treatment with you: estradiol as a tablet, and progesterone as a capsule, which is often prescribed alongside estrogen.

Hormone therapy is reviewed over time. Your provider checks in on how you feel and adjusts the plan, or stops it, when that is the right call.

The routine

What the routine looks like.

A tablet or capsule on a schedule your provider sets, a check-in when the plan is reviewed, and refills that ship on schedule from a licensed US pharmacy.

Before you start

Who this is not for.

Your provider makes the call, but these are the things that usually rule hormone therapy out.

  • A history of breast or uterine cancer, or another estrogen-sensitive cancer
  • A history of blood clots, stroke or heart attack
  • Unexplained vaginal bleeding
  • Active liver disease
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
