Menopause symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and trouble sleeping can be distracting, disruptive — and last for years. While lesser known, 40% of males over the age of 45 have low T, and up to 20% of those between the ages of 15 – 39 may also have a testosterone deficiency. Yet these conditions are hardly ever discussed in the workplace or even the doctor’s office.

As a result, limited resources exist to support people through these years of dramatic hormonal changes that can impact them physically, mentally, and emotionally. Symptoms can lower quality of life, reduce job performance, and impair daily activities — but finding the right support can be challenging, and misinformation around menopause and low T is common. Carrot is here to help provide relief.

• Find a menopause or low t specialist
• Get expert guidance when you need it. Members can schedule unlimited 1:1 virtual chats with menopause and low T specialists

Carrot brings members together for intimate, medical expert-guided group discussions on common topics like managing symptoms and evidence-based treatment options. These anonymous Zoom sessions educate while breaking down the culture of silence around menopause and low T to help people feel more supported, informed, and heard.
• Use your benefit to pay for medications, in-person and virtual visits with menopause or low T specialists, nutrition counseling with a registered dietician, and eligible products to regulate temperature, like wearable cooling devices.
