WELLNESS

Is Hormone Therapy (HRT) for Me?

 

Takeaways:

  • Many women don’t know their health symptoms are related to their hormones and once they replace their deficient or unbalanced hormone, claim life-changing benefits.
  • There’s value in knowing your baseline. Whether you get a basic or a full hormone panel, knowing your markers and monitoring them at least every 3-6 months, arms you with the knowledge to sit down with a functional medicine provider who can titrate your HRT dosage accordingly.
  • The major difference between bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and hormone replacement therapy is the substances used to create them. BHRT is newer, mostly plant-derived and typically “compounded” while conventional HRT has been around a very long time and is mostly synthetic.

FINANCES

Is Pet Insurance Worth It?

 

Takeaways:

  • The “save your premiums” strategy is a false economy. While it might seem like you’re being financially responsible, it can leave you significantly out of pocket when unexpected vet bills arise. In a relatively short period, the saved premium amount can be insufficient to cover actual costs, let alone provide a safety net for future needs.
  • Carefully scrutinize any pet insurance policy before you commit. Pay close attention to how pre-existing conditions are handled, especially if you’re adopting a rescue with an unknown medical history. Also, investigate breed-specific conditions and any limitations or sub-limits that may apply.
  • Before and during your pet’s life, recognize that unexpected medical costs can arise. Choose insurance that fits your specific needs and budget, rather than viewing it as an optional expense. This will help you make informed decisions and ensure your pet receives the care they need.
