Who this is for

Anyone who is considering hormone therapy, has been offered it, is already taking it, or simply wants to understand it before talking to a clinician.

How to use it

Read Part One first — about forty minutes. The chapter on benefits and risks is the one to read slowly.
Before the conversation, fill in the personal discussion pages and choose your questions.
During it, use one comparison page for each option the clinician describes, and record what you are told.
After starting anything, use the twelve-week tracker and the side-effect log, and bring them to the review. Already taking HRT? Start at the follow-up pages.

What it does not do

It does not tell you whether hormone therapy is right for you.
It does not recommend a type, route or dose, and it does not score your suitability.
Nothing in it should be used to start, stop or change a medicine.

Format

Digital PDF, to read on screen or print at home
A4 pages, print-friendly (on US Letter, choose “fit to page”)

Educational guide and workbook. Not medical advice.

Midlife Atlas guides help you understand, organize and prepare. They do not diagnose, they do not recommend any treatment, and nothing in them should be used to start, stop or change a medicine. If a symptom worries you, speak to a clinician who knows your history.

It is written against published clinical guidance from the NHS, NICE and The Menopause Society, and each clinical statement names the body it comes from. It has not yet been reviewed by a named clinician.

Questions

Will it tell me which HRT to take?

No. It explains the terms and trade-offs and gives you neutral pages for recording and comparing what a clinician describes. Whether hormone therapy suits you, and which type, route and dose, are decisions for you and a clinician who knows your history.

Is it useful if I already take HRT?

Yes. Start at the follow-up pages and the review worksheet; they are designed to make a regular review more useful.

How do I receive it?

Once your payment is confirmed, the PDF is in your Midlife Atlas account under Purchased Guides & Workbooks, ready to download whenever you need it.

Do I need an account?

Yes. A free Midlife Atlas account keeps your purchased downloads available later, so you can come back for the file without relying on an email.

Can I print it or share it?

You can print it for your own use. The licence in the PDF says: For your personal use. You may print it for yourself. Please do not redistribute, resell or share the file.

Who handles the payment?

Paddle.com, our online reseller and Merchant of Record, processes the payment and sends your receipt. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. You can have a full refund on any paid guide or workbook within 14 days of buying it, without giving a reason: request it through Paddle at paddle.net, or email hello@midlifeatlas.com. A refunded guide is removed from your account. Our Refund Policy has the details.

Is this a physical book?

No. It is a digital PDF, designed to be read on screen or printed at home. The pages are A4; on US Letter paper, choose “fit to page” when you print.

Is this medical advice?

No. It is an educational guide and workbook. It does not diagnose, it does not recommend treatment, and it does not replace a clinician who knows your history.

Has it been reviewed by a clinician?

Not yet. It is written against published clinical guidance from the NHS, NICE and The Menopause Society, and each clinical statement names the body it comes from. It has not yet been reviewed by a named clinician. When a medical reviewer is appointed, the guide will carry their name, credentials and review date.
