This is a health and wellness brochure from CornerStone Clinic, addressed to their community, particularly women navigating perimenopause and menopause. It is written by Casie Coon, APRN, FNP-C, and focuses on education, hormone health, and breast cancer awareness.
The brochure explains the hormonal changes during menopause, covering estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and how they affect body temperature, bone density, heart health, sleep, and mood. It describes common delivery methods for hormone therapy: patches, capsules, tablets, injections, and individualized compounded hormones.
A section addresses the history of fear around hormone therapy and breast cancer risk, referencing the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study and the FDA's 2025 removal of the boxed warning. It emphasizes that risk depends on hormone type, delivery method, duration, and personal health history.
The brochure covers breast cancer statistics, types (HR+, HER2 positive, triple negative), and risk factors, both non-modifiable (age, family history, dense breast tissue) and modifiable (weight, alcohol, exercise). It details screening options: mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, clinical breast exam, and breast self-awareness.
It lists risk reduction strategies and signs that warrant contacting a provider. The brochure includes an October events calendar with a patient appreciation event, National Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day, and World Menopause Day, plus a vitamin injection bundle offer and a sheet pan salmon recipe.
