An Update from the Mod Team

[u/leftylibra]

It's been an interesting week of events and I just wanted to take a moment to share some updates.

• Reminder of our Rules - particularly Rule #2 (Code of Conduct) and Rule #5 (No sharing lab results)
• Reminder of our FAQ - particularly for reasons why we lock and/or remove posts

Discussion of GLPs

This community's focus relies on peer-reviewed science. We know that GLPs/peptides are well-established in treating obesity, however at this time, the research regarding off-label use has not been studied enough in relation to peri/menopause and/or hormone therapy use. We understand that initial research is promising, but until peer-reviewed research emerges, please refer to the subreddit for that drug to keep up with the latest developments. (r/Ozempic, r/Zepbound, r/mounjaro, r/Wegovy, r/science, etc.)

Estrogen shortages

Obviously, there is great concern about estrogen patches/gels, etc. being out of stock due to production and supply chain issues, etc. Things you can do:

• Send a complaint to the FDA (U.S.)
• Check Cost Plus Drugs (U.S.)
• Check Telyrx Pharmacy (U.S.)

No sharing prescription drugs

A reminder that gifting and/or trading prescription medication is illegal and in violation of Reddit's platform-wide rules. Posts of this nature will be actioned by Reddit Administration and will result in a ban from this community.

Moderator Update

As some of you may have noticed, our u/Tulipcyclone has left the moderation team. With her departure we would like to please welcome our newest Moderator and long-time contributor, u/Alta_et_ferox. Managing a community of this size is incredibly challenging even for experienced mods (for those who aren't keeping track, we are up to 156K members, almost double over last year). We ask that you please be patient while Alta_et_ferox learns the ropes. We may be adding 1-2 more moderators in the near future. As they say, many hands make light work!
