I am 66 and have just started HRT because I didn’t know I should have been doing it for many years but hopefully better late than never. I have always been very healthy and maintain a lifestyle. I have dense breasts. What could be the cause of the inflammation? Can I change that?

Fascinating! Thank you, I learned so much from this video.

Been in menopause for the past 7 years. You don’t need hrt if you live balanced life. Tgere is nothing that needs to be supplemented or replaced. Your body will naturally adjust.

I am confused about whether I should stop HTR. I am 58 and have been on HTR for the past 10 years with extremely dense breasts.

It is important to clearify that insulin resistance is the root cause of cancer which is why cancer is also called Type 4 Diabetes.

It’s normal. It doesn’t required treatment.

Superb information and clear explanations, thank you so much💛 I wish the majority of doctors knew all these important truths, and helped instead of hindered their mid-life women patients. Why don't they? 🤔😭 You're great, Dr Gersh, thank you 😊xx

Started HRT finally after years of suffering. Mammogram last year indicated I had dense breasts. I'm 62. Very confused now.

Hormone testing is too expensive for most women to keep an eye on estrone. How can we lower our estrone levels?

Thank you for being so updated!

bio identical are still man made.... its not like we take them from our bodies...

well my gyn only prescribes rx for HRT (covered by insurance)... My insurance doesn't cover the bioidentical hormones.. am i not getting a benefit?

What is the optimal estradiol level to treat osteoporosis?

Doc, where and how do I find a providernear me who does cycle HRT?

That course she is speaking of is $2000.00. Oh my….

How do I know how much to take ? My Dr looked it up and started me on .780

We're so far away from getting physiologic doses of oestradiol here in the UK. Doctors already get into such a flap about the tiny doses we're 'allowed '. Hot flushes and night sweats is the indication for prescribing here and there's no thought about the future. When we are 'allowed ' testosterone, this IS prescribed to put women back up to the normal range. I think that might be because they're male preparations, and they follow the male medical model, to prescribe to a physiological dose!! But not for our oestradial, we get a fraction of the pre-menopausal range. Interesting 😊xx

Thank you for all you're doing to educate us!!❤

Thank you so much for this video "shorts." My doctor prescribed me cycles of progesterone, but I was confused since the prescription says to take it from day 1 to day 12. I started both estradiol and progesterone on the first day of my period. I wasn't feeling 100% well and was wondering if the correct day to start the progesterone should be on day 14 after my period. I'll try starting this way next month. I'm 53 years old and still have my period, though it is lighter than before and includes spotting.

Big Yes. Yes and Thank You

Thyroid and Breast cancer. 9 UTI'S in one year. On Evista 2yrs. now. Hot flashes driving me crazy. Urologist recommended Estradiol cream. Game changer. No UTI in a year. One chronic problem much better. Hope for women w/these problems.

They can pry my HRT from my cold dead hands. The whole fear about breast cancer has been debunked if you research properly. You are just topping up the depleted hormones, not overdosing on it! Calm the panic people.

I'm on 0.375 patch and progesterone iud. Estrodial gave me melasma, so I don't want to take anymore. Should we be taking testosterone? Some doctors are all about it, but not mine.

I don’t know what the problem is; I’m vegan, I exercise, I sleep 8 hours, I work, I keep my life low stress; take care of the BASICS FIRST people, and I feel great

I just started three weeks ago getting hormones and I feel like me again.

Stop being a drug pusher.

'But you have to have enough.' And that's the key. HRT doses are very low 😊xx

2024 and we know little, why?

Don't mess with Mother Nature. It is not an illness. 😊

The adverse side effects of man made hormones far outweigh the benefits

No hormones = migraines 90% gone. 😅

You and others on TH-cam can say that women can take HRT But 99.999 percent of all doctors say no at age 60 The doctors need to be educated Even if we know the truth It will not matter Most doctors don’t know anything about HRT And those that think they know Will not help women

I gained 11 pounds in 8 months since starting estradiol. I haven’t changed my eating patterns or exercise routine so the ONLY thing different is the estradiol 0.05 mg patch. I’m 61.

NO WOMAN should be taking 25…50 😳😳😳😳 absolutely not !!! start with 2.5 or 5…that’s it !!!

True,so simple if doctors give HRT, I'm on 19 days, I'm feeling alive again🤍🙏

When your eggs run out, your eggs run out.

We are lucky in Australia that we do not have to go to a compounding pharmacy for testosterone. We have a body identical cream specifically for women called Androfemme which is approved by the TGA - equivalent to your FDA. I think you can get it in the UK too.

Wonderful thankyou!❤

I have a question regarding a 53-year-old woman who is experiencing spotting /light bleeding during her "period" cycle. Would a 12-day cycle of 0.01 mg estradiol and 200 mg progesterone be more effective than a 30-day cycle in managing this issue?

I will die with my Estradiol patch. I am 68 and I stop the struggle.

Is giving hormones not like blocking the natural ageing process? It sounds dangerous

It's a natural part of the life cycle of a woman. Do not mess with mother nature.

Considering that since the beginning of time women have gone through menopause the way nature intended, I think I’ll pass on some crazy drugs. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

"There is nothing they can do" good to hear her accept her limitations. But let's not make that everyone's reality, there are plenty of possibilities of support when you know where to look.

Ignoring that most 2023 hormonal health Medical Conferences focus on balancing cancer and other sides effects of hormone replacement therapy and supplementing hormones before or during menopause

It makes me laugh when post menopausal women say they need to balance their hormones. Lol, what hormones? If you are suffering debilitating symptoms consider getting HRT.

It's not a deficiency... its a change of life... the body no longer needs them..

So how much are we supposed to take then of estradiol 1.0 would that make me bleed? And then progesterone you're saying that it'll counteract with the estrogen. Are we not supposed to take that every day. I still can't sleep, am I taking adequate estradiol on the Dottie patch? That doctor I have does not know anything and maybe she agreed to the 05 because she doesn't know anything I don't know either

Only if you are suffering from debilitating symptoms. I was and took HRT fir twenty odd years but then I got breast cancer and have had to stop the hrt. The hot flushes are bad, but better than cancer.

I am using the Dottie patch.05 and Progesterone 100 MG but I don't really get sleep, my hair still falls out, I haven't lost weight probably gained a few pounds. How much more should I go up to be able to get a good night's sleep? Do I need to up my estrogen or up my progesterone to 200 mg. That's what I don't know the doctor was hesitant to even give me the patch and so she probably figured when I said .05 she's like okay but I really haven't noticed it doing anything
