How I Asked My Hormones for a Rematch: My HRT Story
One woman. Her real account of living through Hormonal Replacement Therapy and finding answers most women dread!
The Second Draft is an honest, unfiltered conversation with women who resurrected their lives from the ground up because the first chapter didn't get it right.
In this episode, we're talking to Avani Parekh, 3 months into Hormone Replacement Therapy, and who is done staying quiet about it.
Avani isn't a doctor. She's not here to give you a textbook definition of HRT but because somewhere in her 40's, her body started changing in ways no one had warned her about, and instead of accepting it she bravely went looking for an answer. HRT was that answer. 3 months in, she's telling you exactly what it's been like: the fear before she started, the questions she couldn't get straight answers to, and what's actually shifted - in her body, her energy, her sense of self
Look forward to -
A real, lived account of what HRT actually involves physically and emotionally - a non clinical brochure
Permission to ask the questions you've been sitting on alone
A clearer, less fear-driven way to think about HRT as an option, not a last resort
A community of women who've stopped pretending "normal test results" tells the whole story
Led by:
Avani Parekh - a Community Veteran herself who bravely talks about her life experiences and synchronicity. With over a decade's experience in Women's Health, Femtech, and Social Impact, she has built very spaces other women turn to when they need answers.
If you are a woman who was told "your tests are normal" while you felt otherwise or someone who watched her body change not knowing where to turn, THIS IS FOR YOU
