Free reads for World Menopause Day
« on: October 17, 2024, 02:58:20 PM »

In honor of World Menopause Day, Dr. Jen Gunter removed the paywall from some of her most popular posts.  Free access until Saturday, October 19th.  I wouldn't normally post links with temporary access, but these are subjects of great interest on this forum:

Menopause, Hormone, Therapy, and the Brain

Excerpt from email:

"While most of my content here is free, a small percentage is behind a paywall. Many of these are very detailed and take a lot of time to research, organize, and write. To help celebrate World Menopause Day, I am removing the paywall for the four most popular paywalled posts until Saturday morning.

Menopause, Hormone, Therapy, and the Brain. This is my take on the fantastic lecture on brain health at the 2024 Menopause Society Meeting. If anyone is telling you that hormone therapy prevents dementia, know that they either have an agenda or are out of date. This post will catch you up on what you need to know.

Testosterone and Menopause. Separating Fact from Fiction. I think the title is self-explanatory.

Depression, Low Mood, and Menopause. This post discusses who is at greatest risk for depression in the menopause transition/menopause and also reviews the therapies. Sometimes hormones may be the best approach, sometimes antidepressants, and sometimes both. There is so much demonization of antidepressants, but they have actually been studied here, so all I ask is that people keep an open mind. Any provider who claims all mood issues in menopause and the menopause transition can be treated with estrogen likely doesn’t see many patients or doesn’t see those same patients returning back when they haven’t improved because they’ve gone elsewhere. Or they are ignoring what their patients are saying and are indiscriminately increasing the doses of estrogen as the simple answer to everything.

Spotlight on Brain Fog. What is the role of menopause hormone therapy? This post should answer that question and hopefully more.

If you want more menopause hormone therapy content, you can find it in my Hormone Therapy Guide; you can scroll to find content that might appeal to you or head to the pinned post, which has the Table of Contents with links to all the posts. The few entries that don’t have links haven’t been written yet! I’m working on it. This guide is a living document, so I go back and update posts when there is new, relevant data. At some point, new science willing, many of these posts will need major updates because of new products or new data, so when that happens, I will let people know so you don’t miss any meno-news."
