Why I Finally Started HRT at 68 | My Honest Experience

#hrt #menopause #agingwell At 68, I finally started hormone replacement therapy and progesterone. I'm sharing the honest, personal story of why I waited (i entered Menopause 14 years ago), what pushed me to act, and how I feel now. This video covers my symptoms (brain fog, memory loss, moodiness, sleeplessness, bone density), my current estradiol patch + progesterone regimen, the improvements I noticed in my sleep and mood within weeks, and the real questions you should bring to your doctor. No age is too old to have this conversation. HRT is a dial, not an on/off switch — here's my honest experience, including my concerns about progesterone and weight gain and how I plan to manage them.
