My guest, Dr. Ceri Cashell, and I get into all things Perimenopause and MHT / HRT today! We open with some Perimenopause Myth Busting and then dive head first into women's hormones and Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT / HRT) - while the hormones we talk about are relative to anyone going through perimenopause, she outlines specifics about what is available in Australia, what is subsidized on the PBS, and what we'll have to pay privately for (spoiler, it's testosterone).
Head to the 24:40 mark to jump into the MHT / HRT breakdown.
Dr. Cashell is one of the co-founders of the new online education platform called Healthy Hormones. It's an Australia specific platform for educating other healthcare professionals and allied health professionals about peri-menopause about menopause and hormone replacement therapy. They are also developing a patient portal side where as patients, we will have access to information where we can learn more about our hormone journey and learn how to advocate for ourselves. Unfortunately she is not taking on new patients, but that is why her Healthy Hormones platform is so fantastic because we can still benefit from her work, even if we can't actually have her as our doctor.
