Women are not Octopuses

Did you know that female octopuses experience a sharp health decline that results in death shortly after laying eggs due to rapid hormonal changes? Well, women aren't octopi, and we deserve optimal health far beyond childbirth and menopause. Enter hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which offers effective management of perimenopause and menopause symptoms, from night sweats and sleep disruption to bone health concerns and painful intercourse. Despite its promise, HRT has only recently become more widely available, thanks to digital health companies breaking down access and knowledge barriers that have kept women from getting the care they need. There's still important work to be done in combating misconceptions and misinformation about risks, benefits, and side effects, but with the global hormone replacement therapy market expected to reach $35 billion by 2030, confidence in HRT's effectiveness is clearly growing.
