I’m truly so grateful for Winona
I’m truly so grateful for this amazing platform. I can’t believe that I was suffering and turned down by two doctors because it didn’t show in my blood work. It’s only been two months and I already feel a huge change and I feel like I’m getting back to my old self again.

Wow, Jamie! We are so humbled by your review and are grateful that you chose Winona for help! There is a misconception among women and some medical practitioners that hormone levels need to be tested in order to use HRT. Bloodwork does have its place for some conditions, but it is not needed to prescribe HRT. Blood hormone levels can vary greatly from day-to-day, so blood tests are not necessarily an accurate indication of what you might need. It can appear "perfect" on paper, but you still may have symptoms. HRT is, therefore, prescribed based on symptoms and medical history. We want you to feel better, not necessarily "fix" your lab values. These guidelines are also in accordance with the Menopause Society and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. It seems you experienced the results of that misconception first hand, so it makes it even more wonderful to know you're feeling like yourself again after the challenges you've experienced. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback, as it lets other women know we can help them too!
