He guys.  
My sister-in-law is currently waiting for test results to help support her doc’s diagnosis that she may be perimenopausal.

She’s considering MHT/HRT, so I’m wondering if you could steer me toward some resources you consider solid so I could pass them onto her so she could make an informed decision.

I know next to nothing about it, but assuming much like ‘TRT’, it’s not a decision to be made lightly.

Thus far, she has only ‘listened to a few podcasts’ on the subject that seem, by her account, to be all good vibes and not really dealing with the risks.

Much appreciated.  
Cheers.

Jen Gunter is a solid public-facing resource on this topic.

If you/she is interested in a one-on-one consultation to discuss this in more detail, we’d be happy to help with that as well.

Thanks mate.

Jen sure is an engaging and funny communicator with an acutely calobrated bulshit detictor. So much so I just watched a half hour lecture without clicking through..

Certainly recommend her.

Thanks again.
