Before You Start HRT: The Questions That Will Save You From Regret

You've made the decision to start hormone replacement therapy. You've researched the physical changes, found a provider, and you're ready to begin. But there's a critical conversation that needs to happen first—one that could mean the difference between starting HRT with clarity and confidence versus starting unprepared for what comes next.

After conducting over 7,200 comprehensive assessments with transgender and nonbinary adults, I've observed clear patterns in who thrives on HRT and who struggles. The difference isn't about being "trans enough" or having severe dysphoria. It's about preparation. In this video, I walk you through the essential questions you need to answer before taking your first dose—questions about timing, coming out plans, which changes you want versus which ones scare you, how you'll handle the in-between phase, and what your backup plan is if something goes wrong.

This isn't gatekeeping. This is protecting you from starting something you're not ready to sustain. HRT without preparation isn't brave—it's risky.

Watch this video to learn the six critical questions that separate successful hormone therapy from regret, and discover whether you're truly prepared for what HRT will require of you.
