A viral TikTok has everyone collectively clutching their reusable water bottles after some cisgender women began promoting drinking their own urine instead of using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to deal with perimenopause and menopause symptoms. There is absolutely zero scientific evidence that drinking your own urine helps regulate estrogen, balances hormones, or works as an alternative to HRT. The same online wellness ecosystem has also encouraged some people to ditch hormonal birth control, consume questionable “superfoods,” and chase hormone balance through lifestyle hacks that range from mildly unproven to spectacularly ill-advised.
