Every clinical page on this site carries evidence tags and a named reviewer with a review date.
We rate our own treatments honestly, including where the evidence is thin, because the
alternative is that you find out later that a claim did not hold up.
We state what the evidence supports for hormone therapy — vasomotor symptoms, genitourinary
symptoms, and bone density and fracture prevention — and we do not present improvements in
energy, mood, cognition, weight, or longevity as established facts, because they are not.
We prescribe FDA-approved products. We do not market compounded hormone preparations, we do not
implant hormone pellets, and we do not use marketing language about "optimizing" or
"balancing" your hormones, because that describes a business model rather than a treatment.
We do not offer vaginal laser procedures, because the evidence has not shown benefit over sham
treatment for genitourinary syndrome of menopause.
Where a specialty guideline covers a question — the AUA/CUA/SUFU recurrent UTI guideline on
vaginal estrogen, the AUA/SUFU overactive bladder guideline on stepwise treatment, the global
consensus position statement on testosterone in women — we follow it and we name it, so you can
check.
Pages are reviewed by a clinician and the review date is published on the page. If you think
something here is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will look at it.
