Motivation to Blog!
I was motivated to start a blog because I struggled with navigating perimenopause and menopause. Despite being a natural phase in every woman's life, I was woefully unprepared and lacked essential information. While I acknowledged my part in not seeking out knowledge sooner, I was also disheartened by the inadequate guidance from my doctor and the general silence on the topic. It often felt like my concerns were dismissed as "all in my head," making it easier for others to avoid the conversation. This lack of discourse and support around menopause is a disservice to all women, and it drove me to create a platform where we can openly discuss and share valuable insights, experiences, and advice.
"So, let's talk about it."
"I can support you on your journey with my experience and knowledge, and the best part is that I have your best interest at heart. Knowledge is a powerful tool and can be a great ally when dealing with perimenopause and menopause. I will provide the information, skills, and knowledge I have gained through my journey. Subscribe to my blogs today, and let's start the conversation."

"Beyond Reproduction: The Comprehensive Benefits of Estrogen Unveiled”
The use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) dates back to the 1960s and gained immense popularity in the 1990s. Clinical trials on HRT and chronic postmenopausal conditions were conducted in the USA in the late 1990s. However, the announcement of the first results of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) in 2002, which showed that HRT had more harmful than beneficial effects, led to a drop in its usage. The study's negative results received widespread publicity, causing panic among some users and new guidance. However, a reanalysis of the WHI trial was conducted in the following years, and recent studies have shown that the use of HRT in younger women or early postmenopausal women has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, reducing coronary disease and all-cause mortality and helping overall symptoms of Menopause. Despite this, public opinion on HRT has not changed yet, leading to critical negative consequences for women's health and quality of life.
