A Reader Asks, Part Two: How Do You Actually Choose a Delivery Method?

Happy Sunday, Mere here.

Are you ready for part two!?! Quick context for anyone newer here: I'm answering reader questions that come in through an anonymous form, one at a time, with real depth. Last week was week one of that, the first submission I sat down and answered publicly.

So to catch you up a little: two weeks ago a woman wrote in. She's 36 to 40, cycling like clockwork, not on anything, has had labs done. She asked me two things. What are the benefits of hormone therapy, and how do you choose a delivery method once you're looking at it.

Last week was benefits. Estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, what's real, what's overhyped, what her specific picture does and doesn't tell us yet. [That one's here if you missed it.]

This week I'm answering the second half. Oral, troches, patches, creams, injections, pellets, vaginal.... I tell you exactly where I land on each one, including why pellets are typically a no for me. [Full blog is here.]

And I'll just say, I already have another question on deck that I cannot wait to get into. Surgical menopause, and part of what she asked overlaps with methods and modes too, so this week's piece sets up that one nicely.

Okay, switching gears for a second because I want to say this clearly as I tend to speed through these things thinking everyone already knows. So here it is...

Sarah and I both offer 1:1 mentorship. We also run a group mentorship program together. If you're in 1:1, group is automatically included, and that means two group calls a month plus live office hours every quarter. (which we have a live office hours THIS THURSDAY!)

If you're a coach and you've hit a wall, a case you can't crack, a client conversation that went sideways, a place where you know you're operating outside what you were trained on, that's exactly what these calls are for. You bring it. 

If that's something you have been curious about, shoot us a message HERE, or just hit reply and ask us directly.

That's it for me this week. Go read part two, and if you've got a question of your own, [the form's still open]. I'll see you in two weeks with the next one.

Mere & Sarah

The Iron Panel Decoded: Patterns, Ranges, and What to Do Next
Happy Father's Day! Sarah here , and I'd be remiss if I didn't wish a happy happy to my first Coach , and wow I got lucky. I know we all have different coaching stories, and not everyone had good firsts. I'm lucky in that whether it was formal sports or “sports Fridays” playing a hybrid tennis and kickball game with my sister and I (the Cha Chas, if you wanted to know our team name), my first C...
A Reader Asks: She Is 36, Cycling Normally, and Wants to Know Benefits of Hormone Therapy...
Happy Sunday, Mere here. Two weeks ago I admitted openly to being publicly absent in the area I work in every single day, and I had been calling it a strategy. It came to a head when a client I have worked with for five years, a woman I actively coordinate hormone therapy for, asked me if I knew anything about bioidentical hormone therapy. That email cracked something open for me. That was the ...
A Case for Group Fitness Class
I know group fitness gets a bad rap. But let me see if I can't convince you to do a little Googling and schedule a class in June by the time you finish reading...  Sarah here! I had a call with a client this last week who is looking to move away from the bodybuilding space and set some new goals. I know this is familiar for a lot of you- me too. She wanted my opinion on group fitness classes an...
