🔥 HOT
A recent article highlights a major shift in menopause care for cancer survivors. For years, women with breast or gynecological cancers have been advised to avoid hormone replacement therapy (HRT) due to concerns it could increase the risk of cancer returning. Now new medical guidelines advocate for a more personalized, nuanced approach—especially if menopause symptoms negatively impact quality of life. Doctors are recognizing that the benefits of HRT can often outweigh the very low risk of cancer coming back.
At Midi, we’ve always believed menopause care should be personal, and our clinicians are trained to provide tailored treatment to all women—including cancer survivors and those at risk.

Many women are missing out on essential preventative healthcare, with 42% skipping recommended vaccines, screenings, routine check-ups, and more, shows a new survey. The reasons behind this gap are varied—everything from out-of-pocket costs to juggling childcare, work, and school responsibilities. But there are also significant racial disparities. For example, only 42% of Black women and 46% of Hispanic women received vaccines (like flu and shingles) last year, compared to 55% of white women.

Women have lower rates of orgasm during sex compared with men, shows research. Known as the orgasm gap, the reduced frequency is due to a number of factors, including a cultural prioritization of men’s pleasure.
During menopause, you may notice it becomes even more difficult to climax. As estrogen levels drop, pain during sex, less lubrication, and a lowered libido can all get in the way of the big O. But just like the pay gap, it’s time to level the playing field. You deserve great sex at any age—and Midi’s clinicians can help. Book a visit to learn about our better-sex solutions.

“I finally lost the midlife weight"
|
|
|
|
For me, menopause showed up as extreme hot flashes and brain fog, but it was the extra pounds that I was most upset by. It felt like I gained weight overnight.
I told my general practitioner and gynecologist, but my concerns were shoved aside. Their only suggestion: “Eat less, exercise more.” I’d already tried that—didn’t work!
So when I saw an ad for Midi online, I booked a virtual visit immediately.
After listening to my concerns and diving into my health history, my clinician prescribed a Care Plan that includes weight-loss medication. After just three and a half months, I’m down 12 pounds and living my life without hot flash and brain fog distractions. I feel better than I have in a long time!

Ask a Midi Clinician |

Q: “Is hormone replacement therapy safe?”
A: We love getting this question, because it’s a great opportunity to clear up some major confusion. The concern around HRT largely comes from a 2002 study that was misinterpreted, sparking unnecessary fear. What you need to know:
-
HRT is safe for the large majority of women. A Midi clinician can help determine if you’re a candidate (most women are). That said, some women shouldn’t take HRT, and others prefer not to. That’s why Midi offers a full range of alternatives.
-
HRT is the most effective solution for many menopause symptoms. When it comes to managing hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, vaginal dryness, painful sex, and more, HRT comes out on top.
-
It has added health benefits. Research shows starting HRT within 10 years of your last period lowers your chance of heart disease (the #1 killer of women) and bone loss by lessening the long-term effects of estrogen deprivation.
You deserve to have the facts when deciding what treatment is right for you. At Midi, we’ll help you weigh the pros and cons of HRT when guiding you to your personalized Care Plan.
