Carolina Praderio, MD

Asked ChatGPT to write an unhinged bio about me. Thanks Sara for the awesome idea🤣🤣

“Dr. Carolina Praderio: professionally responsible, personally questionable.

Board-certified OB-GYN. Menopause whisperer. Med-spa overlord. Mother of two. Recovering perfectionist. Occasional w**e enthusiast. Full-time overthinker.

I spend my days discussing estrogen, testosterone, pelvic floors, va**nal rejuvenation, injectables, lasers, peptides, GLP-1s, and why everyone needs SPF—then go home and immediately Google something wildly unrelated at 11:47 PM.

I built a solo gynecology practice, somehow added an entire med spa to it, bought enough high-tech equipment to qualify as a small NASA facility, and routinely wake up with a new business idea before my coffee has kicked in.

I have opinions about everything: hormones, skincare, breast implants, restaurant menus, marketing, supplements, facial anatomy, and whether brown miso can substitute for white miso. (It can. I checked.)

I am simultaneously trying to grow a business, raise children, maintain a marriage, optimize my hormones, fix my skin, hire competent humans, understand TikTok, and decide exactly how many cubic centimeters of silicone constitute “natural but better.”

I don’t believe in doing anything halfway.

If I’m going to have a midlife crisis, it’s going to have a medical license, a treatment menu, excellent lighting, and a fu***ng good moisturizer.

Basically: 50 years old, 27 tabs open, zero chill, excellent credentials.”

Day 4 What can happen when you stop HRT?

The experience varies from woman to woman. Stopping HRT does not always mean symptoms will come back, but they can.

Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep issues, and va**nal/GSM symptoms may return. Bone protection from systemic estrogen also decreases after stopping.

Day 3: What is the “Window of Opportunity”?

This is the idea that starting menopausal hormone therapy closer to menopause onset, especially before age 60 or within 10 years of menopause, may have a more favorable benefit-risk profile.
But that does not mean hormones are automatically off the table after 60. The decision becomes more individualized.
Save this series if you’ve had questions about HRT.

Day 2: Is turning 60 a reason to stop HRT?
This is one of the most common questions I hear.
The short answer: no, turning 60 does not automatically mean you have to stop hormone therapy. The decision should be individualized and reassessed based on your symptoms, health history, risks, benefits, and goals.
Spread the word and come back tomorrow for another helpful answer.

People ask me a lot of different questions about menopause and HRT on the daily. Over the next few days, I'll answer some of the most common ones here.

How long can I take hormones for?

Short answer: there is no automatic stop date. The decision should be individualized and reassessed over time based on your symptoms, health history, risks, benefits, and goals.

Share this with your friends to spread the word and come back tomorrow for the next question.

After years in gynecology, I've learned humor helps us talk about things that shouldn't be embarassing.
