Where Varie fits Free
The toolkit is specific to the hormone decision. Varie is broader: a free doctor-appointment bring-along assistant for any visit. Track symptoms, patterns, priorities, and questions over time — then walk in with one clean report.
Use them together: work the decision on paper with the toolkit, and let Varie carry your running record into the room.
