Menopausal hormone therapy uses estrogen, usually with a progestogen if you have a uterus, to treat hot flashes and other symptoms; TRT is testosterone for men diagnosed with hypogonadism.

Timing, age and the new HRT labels
FDA's 2025 action removed boxed-warning language on cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and dementia from menopausal hormone labels, and recommends starting systemic HRT within 10 years of menopause or before age 60 [10]. About 12.5% of Denver residents are 65 or older [3]. Menopause is confirmed after 12 months without a period, at an average age of 52 [11]. A prescriber should weigh your age and history; find a menopause specialist explains what to look for.
Testosterone: diagnosis first
The AUA defines low testosterone as a total level below 300 ng/dL on two tests, plus symptoms [12]. Testosterone is approved for hypogonadism caused by a medical condition; it is not established for age-related decline [13]. The TRAVERSE trial of 5,204 men found heart events in 7.0% on testosterone versus 7.3% on placebo, but more pulmonary embolism and atrial fibrillation on testosterone [14]. Some online clinics sell enclomiphene for low T; ask whether a product is FDA-approved, and see enclomiphene.
Neighboring cities: Salt Lake City and Phoenix. Start broader at hormone therapy or TRT.
Safety notes
Systemic estrogen-alone products keep a boxed warning for endometrial cancer [10]. Testosterone can raise blood pressure, a warning now on all testosterone labels [16]. Keep children away from skin where testosterone gel was applied [13]. Call 911 for chest pain, leg swelling with shortness of breath, or stroke signs.
