Free Patient Handouts
Not every visit ends with a prescription — but no one should leave empty-handed.
This free one-page handout is designed for providers to give to patients navigating perimenopause or menopause.
It explains:
Brief “what is menopause” education
Common perimenopause/menopause symptoms
Long term health considerations in midlife
Treatment options
Trusted resources for additional support
Clear. Balanced. Evidence-based.
So patients leave feeling informed — not dismissed.
Do your patients bring up low libido right as your hand is on the door, ready to end the visit? Do you sometimes avoid opening that conversation because you’re not totally sure how to help?
Maybe you hear, “My libido is ZERO,” “I love my partner, I just never want sex,” or “Can you test my hormones? Something has to be wrong.”
And you’re sitting there like…
✨ we did not cover this in school ✨
Because let’s be honest — we learned Pap smears and pregnancy prevention. We were not trained to manage desire. Not in school. Not in life either.
So we order labs (they’re normal), blame stress, suggest therapy or a glass of wine… or quietly feel stuck.
Low libido affects up to 30–40% of women. It’s common. It’s impactful. And it’s not “just part of aging.” Sexual health isn’t fringe care — it’s core care.
So I made a free, one-page, clinician-ready handout you can download and use immediately.
Less awkward shrug.
Less feeling empty-handed when the conversation gets real.
Clinician Tools
Clear. Concise. Immediately usable.
The Menopause Treatment Algorithms are designed for busy clinicians who want to know:
MHT formulations and how to choose the right one
How to adjust therapy based on side effects or incomplete symptom relief
Practical approaches to VMS, bleeding, sleep, libido, and weight concerns
When to use hormonal versus non-hormonal therapies
Lifestyle and nonpharmacologic strategies to optimize outcomes
No extended lectures. No theory-heavy content.
Just structured, evidence-based pathways you can print and use in clinic tomorrow.
Low sexual desire affects up to 30–40% of women. It’s common. It’s distressing. And it meaningfully impacts quality of life. And yet — most of us were never trained to manage it.
We learned Pap smears. Contraception. Infection. We did not learn how to evaluate desire.
So we improvise. We order labs (they’re normal). We suggest therapy. We blame stress. We call it aging. And quietly… we feel stuck.
Sexual health is not fringe care. It’s core care. If you don’t have structure, these conversations feel awkward and unsatisfying — for you and for your patients.
