Hi friends.

I know I’ve written here about people not wanting to talk about aging, but I swear to god, I feel a shift out there. All my friends talk about lately is whether we’re on hormones or not.

I don’t mean to keep talking about hormone therapy here, but it’s as popular a conversation now as microdosing was a few years ago or anti-anxiety meds a few years before that. I’m totally not interested in talking about Ozempic anymore which is the other thing people are talking about now, but it is very N/A to my existence so my opinion seems irrelevant on the topic. Like maybe Ozempic is a thing to think about or read about, but it is hard to imagine me ever taking it.

But everywhere I go lately, at least a few times a week, the topic of HRT pops up. I’m not bringing it up, it’s just in the air, amongst people I know, not just women, but mainly women.
