Making sense of hormones

There is no one-size-fits-all hormone plan.

Dr. Hirsch used a build-your-own-bowl analogy to explain that hormone therapy is not a single package. Different options serve different needs. Your symptoms, age, timing, medical history, and preferences all belong in the conversation.

A thoughtful place to start

1. 1Identify the symptom that most affects your quality of life.
2. 2Write down your relevant personal and family medical history.
3. 3Ask about benefits, risks, nonhormonal alternatives, and follow-up.
