Embarking on the journey of understanding bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for midlife hormone changes is a big step, and we're here to help you feel confident and informed. You deserve to make decisions based on science, not fear. That's why having access to accurate, evidence-based information is so important. We believe that every woman, especially those aged 35 and older experiencing midlife changes, should have this knowledge.

At Essend, we're not here to tell you whether or not BHRT is right for you. We don't prescribe hormones, and we don't sell supplements. What we are here to do is provide you with the knowledge you need to make your own informed decision about BHRT and to fully embrace your body autonomy. We want to provide you with the tools and information so you can confidently choose what's best for your unique journey.

What does it mean to have 'body autonomy' when it comes to BHRT? Simply put, it means you have the right to make decisions about your body and your health care. Your doctor should provide you with the right information so you can make the choices that feel best for you. However, we know that navigating perimenopause and menopause can be challenging, as most of healthcare providers don't have the specific training needed to discuss BHRT in depth and with accuracy when it comes to risk versus benefits. That's where we come in.

At Essend, we’re your one-stop hub for everything you need to know about perimenopause, menopause and BHRT. We provide you with the resources, language, and understanding to feel prepared and empowered for your doctor's appointments. And, because we know questions pop up at all hours, we offer a vibrant 24/7 community server where you can connect with perimenopause/ menopause experts. No more waiting for your next appointment or leaving messages that take days to get a reply – we're here for you, right when you need us. Let's navigate this journey together, supported and informed.
