And now we're really in an era of personalized medicine and shared decision-making." - Dr. Polly Watson "We’re shifting this idea that we’re only using hormone replacement therapy for hot flashes and night sweats to thinking about extending health span—extending the time of our lives where we are feeling vital, healthy, and active." - Dr. Polly Watson Resources Menopause Society 2022 Hormone Therapy Position Statement Connect with Dr. Polly Watson Website: https://hormonewellnessmd.com/podcast Resources: https://hormonewellnessmd.com/podcast-resources New Patient: https://hormonewellnessmdacademy.teachable.com/p/are-we-a-good-fit-new-patient-welcome-course Instagram: https://instagram.com/hormonewellnessmd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hormonewellnessmd YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG4Tw8oHGR_6wBZmXrTu9xA Disclaimer: https://hormonewellnessmd.com/podcast-disclaimer…

If you have received some news that you know is going to impact your life, it is always a good time, the earlier the better.” “Embracing other ways to care for us when we're sick, redefining hope means that things like hospice or end-of-life care can become an important tool.” Links The Conversation Project - National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD) — April 16 Begin the Conversation: Healthcare planning Palliative Care | Serious Illness | Get Palliative Care Connect with Dr. Polly Watson: Website: https://hormonewellnessmd.com/podcast Resources: https://hormonewellnessmd.com/podcast-resources New Patient: https://hormonewellnessmdacademy.teachable.com/p/are-we-a-good-fit-new-patient-welcome-course Instagram: https://instagram.com/hormonewellnessmd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hormonewellnessmd YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG4Tw8oHGR_6wBZmXrTu9xA Disclaimer: https://hormonewellnessmd.com/podcast#Disclaimer…
