At some point, you realize you were handed fear instead of facts.

In our limited series, Perimenopause: Hot. Tired. Still Dangerous., Episode 3, Treatment Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All, we take hormone fear apart piece by piece.

We were told HRT caused cancer. Full stop.

What most of us weren’t told is how outdated studies, flattened headlines, and zero follow-up conversations shaped that narrative.

Fear got inherited.
The science evolved.
The messaging didn’t.

We talk about the difference between older synthetic hormones and modern bioidentical options. Timing. Delivery methods. Dosing. Personalization. The emerging evidence around heart, brain, bone, and long-term health.

And, we name what so many of us experienced: medical gaslighting. Being told it’s stress. Anxiety. “Just life.” That kind of dismissal erodes trust in your own body.

Access isn’t equal. Menopause-informed doctors aren’t everywhere. Cost and geography change what “choice” even means.

This episode isn’t about pushing treatment.
It’s about agency.
It’s about informed consent.
It’s about finally being brought into the conversation.
