A Thrive Table Talk with Dr. LaReesa Ferdinand
Beyond HRT: Patches, Pellets, Pills—Oh My!
Is HRT Right for Me?
You are managing a full life. Sorting through hormone advice should not add to the strain. Join a clear, physician-led conversation about menopause symptoms, treatment choices, and your next questions.

Who this is for
Who this conversation is for
For women navigating perimenopause or menopause who want to understand their options—and how those options fit their health history and daily life.
- You are noticing changes in sleep, energy, mood, or focus.
- You have heard conflicting advice about hormones.
- You want to ask informed questions about breast health and personal risk.
- You want a care plan that considers more than one symptom.
What we will cover
Three things we will cover
1. Understand the picture. How menopause symptoms and daily demands can overlap—and why a personal evaluation matters.
2. Understand the choices. What delivery methods, FDA-approved and compounded products, and nonhormonal options mean for the conversation.
3. Understand your next step. How your history, goals, and questions can guide a plan with your clinician.
The approach
The Thrive Beyond Care Continuum connects your health story, a personal strategy, and care over time. The Thrive Pyramid considers the foundation of daily habits, treatments when appropriate, and ways to follow progress. HRT is one part of that broader conversation.
Follow-up workshop
Beyond the Prescription: Building the Right Health & Wellness Stack
Wednesday, Oct 28, 2026 | 8:00 PM ET | Free virtual event
A follow-up workshop planned with experienced pharmacists in the health and wellness industry. We will help you organize questions about your medicines and supplements, understand what to discuss with your care team, and choose a useful next step.
One registration covers both. When you save your seat for Beyond HRT, you are registered for this workshop too. The Zoom links for both come by email.
