Your Personalized Lab Guide for HRT/MHT
A free two-page checklist of the labs worth discussing before and during hormone therapy, with a plain-language note on why each one matters.
Perimenopause Impact Score
A five-minute quiz that gives you a clearer picture of where perimenopause may be showing up in your day-to-day life.
The Joyce Method Webinar
Get clear on hormone therapy in perimenopause and menopause: the myths that hold women back, who it may suit, and why hormones are often just the first step in a bigger plan for midlife health.
The quiz and webinar are hosted by BioRevive Regenerative Medicine, the clinic Dr Breckon founded in Calgary.
Good care starts with good information
Menopause advice online can be confusing and contradictory. The resources below come from Canadian and North American medical organizations, and they are the same ones I point my patients to. Read what resonates, jot down your questions, and bring them to your next appointment.
