The best resources for perimenopause and hormone health
There is a LOT of conflicting information out there on hormone health, the perimenopause > menopause transition, and how to go about treating symptoms. I’ve found these to be the most consistent, research-backed, and informative.
The truth tellers here might bring out a little rage, but they can also help you build a solid plan for what to do next.

Is less favorable to hormone and other biomarker testing, and functional medicine techniques, but I like her voice to balance out others and the takes on supplements and the hormone therapy guide on her blog The Vajenda.
Women Living Better — By age 40 we should know about the menopause transition — when it starts and what happens in our bodies.

NY Times Article “Women Have Been Misled About Menopause” [gated, but free for 30 days with my link] by Susan Dominus. 💬There are 3.3k comments worth taking a scroll through as well.

Listen to the 2-part masterclass on perimenopause in your favorite podcast player. The episode on Women, Food and Hormones with Dr. Sara Gottfried is also excellent.
The [Reddit] Menopause Wiki — The official menopause wiki for Lemmy's c/menopause community, and its Reddit sibling, r/menopause. It’s quite good.
Of course, no list would be complete without mentioning my growing database of solution providers. My own big sis shopped from this list, chose Midi, and is now following a new care plan after years of struggling to manage symptoms working with her primary care provider in Portland.
