HRT Not Working? 5 Signs Your Dose Is Wrong (OB/GYN Explains)

5 Signs Your HRT Dose Is Wrong — and how to fix it with your doctor.

If you finally started hormone replacement therapy (HRT) but you’re still not
feeling like yourself, don’t assume HRT doesn’t work for you. In most cases,
it’s not the hormones — it’s the DOSE, the TYPE, or the DELIVERY METHOD.
HRT is a dial, not an on/off switch.

I’m Dr. Jennifer Roelands, a double-board-certified OB/GYN and integrative
medicine physician. In this video I break down the 5 clear signs your HRT dose
needs adjusting — plus the exact questions to bring to your next appointment
so you can stop suffering through perimenopause and menopause symptoms.
