About this listen

Launching a business, raising kids, and navigating perimenopause — Jenn and Dr. Michelle bring it all to the mic in this episode about hormone therapy (or as Dr. Michelle reminds us, it’s now called menopausal hormone therapy). From personal stories to the infamous Women’s Health Initiative study, they break down what hormone therapy actually is, why so many of us were misinformed about it, and how it can support women even if you’re still getting your period.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

  • Why Jenn’s personal experience with MHT shifted how she thinks about perimenopause
  • The truth about having a regular cycle and being in perimenopause
  • How decades of misinformation created a generation of scared and untreated women
  • What’s changed in the science since the early 2000s and why the risks aren’t as scary as the headlines made them sound
  • What “bioidentical” actually means (and why it’s more marketing than medicine)
  • Why individualized, evidence-based prescribing matters and how Coven approaches it differently

If you’ve ever wondered if hormone therapy was “only for your mom,” this episode is here to set the record straight.
