🚨 New Insights on Testosterone Use in Menopause! 🚨 I’m encouraged to see two of my go-to sources—BMS (British Menopause Society) and GP Notebook— provide and support such valuable guidance on testosterone use. This is especially important in an area where prescribers face a significant evidence gap. The lack of robust, accessible information often leaves both healthcare professionals and patients uncertain about how to navigate testosterone treatment decisions. Having clear, reliable resources from BMS and sharing by GP Notebook is a step forward for improving confidence in prescribing and patient care. Pushing for more research and guidance is critical so women can access the treatments they need, based on informed, evidence-based practices. 📖 Check out the updates, and let’s continue this important conversation in the medical community! #Menopause #Testosterone #Prescribing #WomensHealth #BMS #GPNotebook #EvidenceBasedCare

The medical shortcomings we uncovered while shooting this film were astounding. Almost all of the physicians, researchers, and OBGYNs we spoke to had learned about menopause outside of their formal education because it simply wasn’t covered in medical school. @themfactorfilm is a groundbreaking documentary aimed to shred the silence on the silent epidemic of menopause. Women are simply not getting the care they deserve and that needs to change. #ObesityMedicine #WeightLoss #DrCruz #MyWellnessPhysicians #HealthyLiving #LeesburgVA #LoudounCounty #HealthJourney #Wellness #WeightManagement #ABOM #CertifiedSpecialist #HealthGoals #LeesburgHealth #LoudounHealth #VAWellness #MindBodySpirit #ObesityCare #TransformYourLife #ExpertCare

As a complete menopause clinic, we can prescribe medications like HRT or semaglutides (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy). But they may not always be what a patient needs—or wants, as is the case with Midi patient Latisha. Midi clinicians: ✅ Consider *all* the options for treating patients’ symptoms (learn about them here: https://lnkd.in/ePGmaU-p) ✅ Take the time to explain them—and listen to what patients think ✅ Devise Care Plans customized to the individual No one benefits from cookie-cutter care. And everyone deserves to walk away from a visit feeling informed and heard. 💙 #holisticcare #personalizedhealthcare #menopausecare

It was a pleasure to take part in this short free webinar followed by Q&A organised by Sharmila recently. We discussed about natural menopause as a physiological transition and its impact on long term health. We also discussed that some individuals may have early, premature, medical or surgical menopause which can be different. We talked about lifestyle, non-hormonal and hormonal options for improving quality of life and protecting long-term health post menopause based on individual medical history and choice. Sharmila is passionate about providing help and support to individuals who need it during menopause transition through her community group MenopauseSupportCircle. Providing accurate scientific information based on facts to individuals (not based on cherry picking favourable reports or assumptions or personal opinion) is key. Where there is no evidence, it needs to be acknowledged so that individuals can decide their options and make a choice. https://lnkd.in/ewfNNDx3
