Menopause Toolkit
- Dr. Haver recommends a "menopause toolkit" to manage symptoms.
- This toolkit includes hormone therapy, nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, and sleep optimization.
Progesterone Benefits
- Progesterone, especially in oral form or topical application in the vulva, can be highly effective for managing menopausal symptoms like sleep disruption and heavy periods.
- It can even be beneficial for women who have had hysterectomies, despite traditional medical advice.
Early Hormone Therapy
- Combining low-dose estradiol with progesterone, even before menopause officially begins, can be very beneficial.
- This approach can improve mental health, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being during perimenopause.
