As a healthcare professional practicing internal medicine in the United States, I am revealing the major gaps in medical school education regarding midlife women's health and menopause management. In this video, we dive deep into the clinical realities of menopausal hormone therapy and discuss how hospital protocols are failing patients in local communities and ICU settings nationwide. Join me as we break down the urgent need for better residency training programs and explain how empowering clinicians with evidence-based hormone therapy guidelines can fundamentally transform patient outcomes across the country. 🩷 Proactive women: book your Collaborative discovery call today https://v7cv2vnklw4.typeform.com/to/TtK4Q4e4?typeform-source=jointhecollaborative49872.e.wpstage.net🩷Ways to Work with Me:• Free Hormone Health Guide https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5f787b...• Free Reclaiming Menopause Masterclass https://thecollaborative.kit.com/1107...• Looking for expert menopause care?

In this video, I explain how perimenopause and menopause can affect mood, relationships, communication, intimacy, and marriage, plus what husbands and male partners need to understand.

I’m diving deep into the debate on whether you should cycle your hormones, separating the facts from the dangerous myths often seen on social media. I make a strong medical case against postmenopausal hormone cycling, sharing how it forces women to take high doses of synthetic progesterone just to trigger an artificial bleed.

I’m excited to share the raw, unpublished findings from my "Menopause in 2026" survey, where I analyzed data from 766 women to identify the optimal "sweet spot" for testosterone levels in hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Through these real-world insights, I break down why many women feel best at levels between 50 and 80 ng/dL and why I strongly caution against the permanent side effects and health risks associated with high-dose pellet therapy. Whether you're struggling with brain fog, mood changes, or joint pain, this video offers a holistic look at how to safely manage testosterone and navigate your menopausal journey with evidence-based guidance. 🩷 Shop Cozy Earth here: ⁠https://cozyearth.com⁠Use code COZYDRHEATHER at checkout to save.

I’m Dr. Heather Hirsch, and in this week's video, I’m diving into the exciting news that Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) has been officially renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect its nature as a lifelong metabolic condition. I’ll explain why this name change is so validating for women and how it shifts our focus toward managing critical health factors like insulin resistance, heart disease risks, and long-term uterine health. If you’re looking for personalized hormone care, I invite you to check the links in the description to book a discovery call at my telemedicine clinic, which currently serves patients in almost all 50 states.🩷 Proactive women: book your Collaborative discovery call today https://v7cv2vnklw4.typeform.com/to/TtK4Q4e4?typeform-source=jointhecollaborative49872.e.wpstage.net 🩷Ways to Work with Me:• Free Hormone Health Guide https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5f787b...• Free Reclaiming Menopause Masterclass https://thecollaborative.kit.com/1107...• Looking for expert menopause care?

Navigating your hormone replacement therapy journey isn't a one-stop shop, and after treating thousands of women, I've found that 95% of you will need more than a few visits to truly find your balance. In this video, I break down the three common paths, the Titrator, the Superstar, and the Highly Sensitive, to help you identify your own experience and understand why tweaking and titrating is a normal, necessary part of the process. Whether you're dealing with perimenopause shifts, pharmacy shortages, or unexpected sensitivities, I'm here to show you that while the journey is unique for everyone, you are definitely not alone. 🩷 Shop Cozy Earth here: ⁠https://cozyearth.com⁠Use code COZYDRHEATHER at checkout to save.

In this episode, I draw on my 12 years of experience as a menopause specialist in New York City to break down the myths and truths about using hormone therapy when you have fibroids or endometriosis. I explain why these common gynecologic conditions are not absolute reasons to avoid HRT and how you can safely achieve symptom relief and long-term health benefits. My goal is to arm both proactive patients and clinicians with evidence-based information so you can navigate complex hormone therapy cases with confidence and ease. 🩷 Proactive women: book your Collaborative discovery call today https://v7cv2vnklw4.typeform.com/to/TtK4Q4e4?typeform-source=jointhecollaborative49872.e.wpstage.net 🩷Ways to Work with Me: • Free Hormone Health Guide https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5f787bdd57796e835ea84e10 • Free Reclaiming Menopause Masterclass https://thecollaborative.kit.com/11077747ff • Looking for expert menopause care?

Menopause care needs to be a team effort. As a board-certified internist with training in both OB/GYN and internal medicine, I see menopause as so much more than a gynecological issue. The loss and fluctuation of sex hormones, especially estrogen, can impact nearly every system in the body, including the heart, brain, joints, GI tract, urinary system, mood, sleep, and overall quality of life. I’m grateful to partner with Cozy Earth for this episode.

The Menopause Talk Every Daughter Deserves // Perimenopause and menopause are more than hot flashes, and I want women to know the early signs can include anxiety, insomnia, depression, irritability, brain fog, and feeling like you are not yourself. In this conversation, I sit down with my daughter to talk about generational health, menopause education, women’s health research, and what the next generation deserves to know about midlife hormones. My hope is that we keep having more open conversations around perimenopause, menopause, aging, and women’s health so future generations feel more informed, prepared, and supported.

Is Your Birth Control Making Perimenopause Worse? When to Switch to HRT Description: Are you still on birth control during perimenopause — and wondering if it's masking your symptoms or actually helping? Dr. Heather Hirsch breaks down the key differences between birth control pills and menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), explaining why the estrogen in your pill isn't the same as the estradiol in HRT and what that means for your perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and brain fog. Whether you still need contraception or you're ready to transition fully to MHT, this video walks you through every option so you can have an informed conversation with your doctor.

If You Care About Longevity, You Need to Care About Menopause Perimenopause and menopause are more than hormone changes. They are a major turning point for long-term health. In this video, I explain why the years between 45 and 60 can shape how you feel for the next 30 years and why menopause is not just about your period stopping. We talk about estrogen decline, progesterone decline, testosterone decline, chronic disease risk, health span, lifespan, and how to build generational health for yourself and your family. I also break down why midlife is the time to pay attention to cholesterol, blood pressure, sleep, prediabetes, strength, mobility, social connection, and the everyday habits that influence your future. We cover family medical history, epigenetics, trauma, behavior modeling, and how your choices today can impact the next generation. If you are in perimenopause or menopause and want to feel strong, informed, and proactive about your health, this video is for you.
