HRT Safety
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is considered safe for most healthy women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause. Modern research (including re-analysis of older studies) shows benefits often outweigh risks for managing menopause symptoms. That said, individual health history matters - some conditions (certain cancers, blood clot history) may make it less appropriate.
Online HRT Providers Worth Considering
Midi Health - Specifically focused on women's midlife health, with menopause-specialist clinicians. Highly regarded in this space.

Evernow - Women's health platform with menopause-focused providers and ongoing support.
Winona - Focuses on bioidentical hormones, includes personalized consultations.
Gennev - Combines telehealth with menopause coaching and community support.
How the Process Typically Works
- Complete a health questionnaire
- Virtual consultation with a provider
- Prescription sent to pharmacy or delivered directly
Important Notes
- Tell your provider your full medical history honestly
- Follow up appointments matter for dose adjustment
- Some prefer seeing a gynecologist in person first for a baseline exam
