HRT • Hormone Replacement Therapy: What You Need to Know

Hormone replacement therapy is one of the most talked about—and most misunderstood—topics in midlife health.

In this 90-minute class, Menopause Specialist and board-certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner Maryanne Vogel separates the outdated fear from the current evidence, breaking down what estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone actually do, why the black-box warning was removed for estrogen, and how to know if HRT might be right for you. You’ll leave knowing what to ask for, what a good conversation with your provider sounds like, and how to spot a clinician who is under-informed. Twenty minutes are reserved for live Q&A, so come with your questions.
