This week on my podcast I’m joined by @dr.felicegersh who is double board-certified in OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine, and specialises in female health, with a focus on managing female hormones especially during perimenopause and menopause.
We talk about the different types of oestrogens - oestradiol, oestrone and oestriol - and why it’s important to know the differences between them and how they work in our bodies, including the differences in hormonal preparations that we prescribe.
We also talk all about the key role hormones play in our heart health.
So often people confuse older types of HRT which convert to oestrone with the new types of body identical hormones which contain oestradiol. It’s so important everyone understands the difference.

I’ve been wondering about and hoping the two of you would connect. Terrific interview and I hope you will have more! I have not been able to find any information on taking HRT cyclically. I feel like taking progesterone continuously doesn’t feel right and really want to explore this topic. Like Dr. Newson, I had migraines and HRT made that go away right away so I’m afraid to stop progesterone as one would in a cycle.
Dr Gersh has videos on this. Do a google search
Please, please, please rally together again in discussion and SOLUTIONS for us women that are progesterone intolerant 😢. What are our options during perimenopause and HRT.
Our own progesterone is wicked enough all the years of menstruation & PMDD the last half of our cycle, now we suffer the loss of estradiol in perimenopause and have to suffer a mandatory additional dose of prometrium induced dark cloud of anxiety , rage, intrusive thoughts, depression, irritability muscle/joint pain, and despair. But the first two weeks of that month are so much better with the estrodial. What do we do? 😢
I think louise has mentioned in another video thar if you find it hard to tolerate progesterone orally you can take it (off licence) vaginaly to protect the womb lining from building up. I’d imagine it’s safe to do this all the time or cycle 2 weeks on/off however if that’s also not an option you could try the marina coil it has a different type of progesterone to protect the uterus. It’s in place for 5 years and it’s a much smaller dose and can be used as your birth control while in peri but also fine to use in menopause. 😊
