I was skeptical, but honestly I started taking it and the difference in my mood, sleep quality and night sweats is like night and day. I ran out and what a mistake. The stuff works!
Yes it’s a bit expensive but menofit is kinda expensive too $49 but I’ve been taking it and it does help with everything and especially my gut and did help me lose about 5lb. I think because it helps keep me regular because I was very constipated. What your thoughts on the ingredients in menofit or menofit in general?
Hi doctor, do I take 4 all at once in the morning please? Also I take Happy Hormones Plus and the Probiotic Collagen too.. I’m also taking beef organ capsules too.. Am I on the right track please?
I haven't used their products for gut health as I have my favorites that I use (see my gut related videos, there's a lot of them). So it would be hard to pick one of theirs without having a specific gut goal in mind.
Has anyone experienced a difference in cellulite with the estrocontrol? It was advertized as so, but haven't heard any results on this. I started mine today but honestly, im rethinking it because not enough is spoken on how it supports estrogen
Though all of these herbs haven't been individually tested with amlodipine they should be fine together but it's always best to talk with your doctor before starting anything. Do watch out for increased water retention as it's possible this could happen when on the herbs and amlodipine.
I read there is only 24 pills in one bottle. That stopped me in my tracks after getting excited to try this. That coupled with the price makes me apprehensive. Any thought or anything I am missing with this?
Do you have advice / video for menopause? I’m going through it early due to taking chemo at 27. Now 47, I’m struggling. Because of history HRT is out of question so would love to know what supplements could help me. I have all symptoms, weight gain is real!
I do have videos on menopause and blogs on my site perimenopause.help. Whenever I refer to late stage perimenopause or low estrogen that can also apply to menopause. The ingredients in happy mammoth hormone Harmony that they promote for weight loss are generally considered safe in cancer survivors (gymnema and berberine) and can be taken individually as the full blend may not be right for you. But it's always best to talk with your provider before starting anything new as they know your unique history.
I'm glad it's helped your bloating. It's hard to know who will lose weight with a blend like this. I wish it worked for everyone but it doesn't unfortunately.
I'm 52 and new to this...I have a headache every 2 days, premenopause since 39, last menstruation was 2 years ago.gained a lot of weight..im about 147 pounds.is this good for me?
I didn’t expect it to help me, but honestly has balanced my energy and mood so much and my stomach is flatter. I will continue to buy because of the positive results for me.
I’ve ordered the Hormone Harmony bottles and honestly they were life changing for me. I had been feeling depressed and anxious for a long time, and it’s like a curtain lifted off my brain and I was happy again and could feel emotions again. It also helped my sleep tremendously, I hadn’t had a deep sleep in years and those pills made me sleep like a baby again. The only downside, the gymemna sylvestre that can act like a diuretic made me feel like I had to go relieve myself CONSTANTLY, to the point it started interfering with my day, so I sadly had to stop taking them 😥😥 do you know of anything that could counteract that diuretic effect ?????
I'm so glad they were so helpful for you. An option instead of adding another supplement is to consider some of these herbs in the HH blend that could be helping you like maca, vitex, ashwagandha, and rhodiola. I like femguard balance by designs for health.
Hi! I’m 42 and still have my period. I am an active runner but I have gained 25 pounds. I eat healthy. I am experiencing mood swings, brain fog, weight gain, problems waking up around 4 in the morning and can’t go back to sleep. Do you think hormone harmony would help me? I have had all of my hormones checked and everything came back normal. My estradiol was 30. If it dropped one point it would be considered low. I have heard ashwagandha shouldn’t be taken long term, what’s your take on that?
It may help. I think any herbs should be rotated. For example take for 3 months, take a month or so break, then consider restarting for another 3 months if needed. But it's hard to say as everyone is different so it's best to discuss with your provider.
@@christineross7620 Hello. Did you end up trying it? My mother has those symptoms, and she is curious to try, but I am scared on her behalf, that it might be a bit snakeoil-y since the price is so high. :)
I'm 39 and recently been very dizzy and low energy during period for 5-6 days these symptoms are causing anxiety as well and theirritability and brainfog is unreal. could this help ? my complete annual check up at my gyno are normal and all good.
I am curious what you suggest for post menopause after hysterectomy? I had my hysterectomy about 8 years ago, I am currently 52 and am still experiencing ALL of the symptoms especially the "middle spread" and hot flashes.
Hi. Happy Mammoth can also be helpful for those symptoms in post menopause but might not help all of them. This blog also has some ideas for blends for menopause www.perimenopause.help/best-natural-herb-for-hot-flashes/ and I have a video on menopause after a hysterectomy, and a video and blog that dive into perimenopause supplements and the phase 2 perimenopause supplements apply to post menopause as well.
Hi, thanks so much for this review! I've taken Estrosmart (Lorna Vanderhauge) in the past with great success, but have wanted to try something with B6, so found RECLAIM by Aeryon Wellness. I'm still researching it, but it seems ok from first glance. Not sure for perimenopause though.
I am an (estrogen based) Ovarian Cancer survivor and take Letrozole daily as a maintenance drug since I’m in remission. I am also on Mounjaro. My Oncologist said I can take any hormone support supplements to help me, but it cannot have any estrogen in it whatsoever. Is it safe to say that Mammoth doesn’t have any estrogen in it at all, or any herb that could try to increase estrogen in my system?
There shouldn't be any interactions between the herbs and the medicine. Don't take them at the same time, as you need to take your thyroid med on its own away from food, meds, and other supplements, but be sure to keep an eye on your thyroid and antibody levels with your provider.
I have been taking Hormone Harmony, I finished the first bottle, no change in my weight whatsoever, as well as having healthy habits and following my macros with my food. I am now 2 weeks into the weight loss protocol bundle. I weighed myself this morning, and I have put ON 1Kg. These products are heavily marketed with helping to lose weight, and I am still waiting for that to happen. I also have a 10 mile a day cycle commute and do pilates about twice a week, as well as I am keeping up my hydration. Have you actually used these products or are you just going through the ingredients? Thank you.
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. The purpose of the video was to objectively review the ingredients in their most popular products. I have had many patients use the Hormone Harmony and love the effects on their perimenopause symptoms. As far as weight loss goes, some have seen weight loss and some haven't. I agree that the company heavily markets for weight loss. The problem with mass marketing for weight loss supplements is that everyone is different with genetics, stress levels, hormone levels, unique metabolism, etc. I have tried Hormone Harmony personally and seen a small amount of weight loss. However I have low blood sugar so it's not the greatest fit for me. I think the women that experience weight loss with HH are those who may lean towards insulin resistance, which is very common in perimenopause and menopause. I have never used or recommended the full weight loss bundle so I can't speak to the effects of that.
I started searching for unpaid, unsponsored reviews on Hormone Harmony because it came up on an ad on my end too. 😅 It was also very helpful to see some of the comments of women’s experiences taking it. I have to share about my experience recently getting my vitamin levels tested from my primary last couple times I went. I’m a current vegetarian that was a strict vegan for many years. Most of my life. I’m 46, still getting fairly regular periods. Not too bad perimenopause symptoms. I did have some symptoms. Anyway. I found out my d and iron was very low. Surprised that my b levels were normal but that’s probably because I drink a lot of Edensoy Extra soymilk. It’s naturally fortified with kombu for B vitamins. I also eat seaweed on the regular. I started combining a multivitamin with d3/k2 and iron into my diet with a pre probiotic supplement and LET ME TELL YOU…I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!!! Next test I’ll be going for is my hormones, asap. For the time being, hopefully this comment can reach out and help many people who are struggling with bloating and other symptoms like I was…please go get your hormones and vitamin levels tested. It’s so important to keep your vitamin d up for many different reasons. Some of our symptoms are also from not enough nutrition. Regardless how many healthy foods you eat, our soils are depleted. You will notice a huge difference in your life if you get your vitamin levels up and get yourself into some good pre/probiotics. Exercise and hydration makes a huge difference.
In general it is but it's always best to discuss with your provider. If you are having hot flashes you may also want to talk with the about coming off the mini pill as it could be suppressing your estrogen even more. But some women feel better on the mini pill so it's a decision that needs to be individualized for you.
I have a question, I get my period for 6 days then it stops for a 2-3 days and starts again for 2 days lightly. I’m 41 and have severe bloating to a point where it’s painful. What can I do?
That's hard to say as I don't know what your hormones look like and there can be many steps that can help. I do have a lot of videos on this channel with info that may help and it would also be good to get your hormone levels checked and work on stress, diet, and have your vitamin and iron levels checked.
I am 51 and about to turn 52 in June. The hot flashes are horrible. My periods have fluctuated since I had emergency gall bladder removal surgery in February 2023
I have my ovaries but no uterus/cervix. I’m 48 and feeling that drag in energy, mood and stubborn weight. None of these supplements talk about partial hysterectomy ladies like me. Any guidance?
Since you still have your ovaries all of these perimenopause videos can be relevant, other than those that talk about heavy bleeding. Hormone Harmony could be an option for you but it's still a good idea to track your hormones so you don't start the wrong type of blend.
Do you think it is possible to combine this supplements with HTR?? I am in perimenopause, my gynecology told me keep the Mirena and prescribed estradiol...but I keep gaining weight, so I was recommended this product. But I am worry, it will be too much
It's ok to combine them usually but since I don't know you please be sure to discuss it with your provider before starting it. I usually don't start estradiol in perimenopause unless a woman is in the very late stages of Perimenopause and we confirm that her estradiol is staying low and not spiking up. But with a mirena this may be already taking care of the estradiol and making it low.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been seeing these adds for this product all over my feeds. Should you have your hormone levels checked prior to taking Happy Mammoth? What if your levels are within normal range not indicating pre-menopause or menopause should you still take these? I am 49, had a hysterectomy 3 yrs ago (ovaries left) I’ve experienced weight gain, but have had my hormone levels checked a few times and I am told they are in normal range. Wondering your thoughts. Thank you
Hi Dr.Shelley, I have been taking the product Provitalize and Previtalize by Better body I noticed a difference in the beginning Have you heard of it? Similar? Thoughts
Potentially, but mainly only if your acne was coming from estrogen dominance. If it's coming from excess testosterone or some other reason this may not help.
Thank you for your honest review. Iam 33 years old, most of the time bloated, dealing with mood swings and adult acne. I have a regular period but a few miscarriages already. Do you think I should give them a try?
Can you please tell me which one of these will help with hot flashes?Sweating ext for a total hysterectomy? Im desperately trying to find out. Ive had menodaily for 1 month. Have to order more today. So if you could please help I would greatly appreciate it 😢 . I've taken estrogen since 2007. But stopped a couple of months ago. My Estrogen levels are 27 and testosterone levels are 4.
If you've used the menodaily for 1 month and it hasn't helped then that's likely not a good fit though it could help as far as providing nutrients but not necessarily for hot flashes. I like menopause 731 by life extension us.fullscript.com/o/care-center/products/U3ByZWU6OlByb2R1Y3QtOTEwOTQ= Or many women like Relizen by Bonafide, see my most recent video for info on this and a 15% coupon link in the video description
I’m 33 but I haven’t had a period since I was 24 due to cancer treatments. I initially went to a doctor when I was 24 who tested my hormone levels & I just remember her saying my levels are those of a 70 yo woman. I’ve since just been on an ultra low dose birth control pills for the hormones…is this something that can help? Especially with weight?
Birth control usually hijacks hormones and makes them low also so this may be making your levels even lower but there are benefits to that for some women. This supplement could help low hormone symptoms but it's best to discuss it with your doctor given your unique medical history.
I am 53 and haven't had a period in 8 months so I'm assuming I will hit that one year mark and be in Menopause soon. I have hot flashes and night sweats, weight gain, and low energy. I have been taking a probiotic for the last 3 months as well. Do you think Happy Mammoth would be beneficial for me at all at this point?
I just purchased the hormone harmony,I am 50 years old and have had the ablation surgery done 12 years ago and I do not have a period. How do I know what stage I am in,perimenopause or am I in menopause? I really appreciate your insight.
I am post menopausal however I still have all of the symptoms, weight gain, mood swings, sleep issues, hot flushes, etc. i eat healthy and regularly exercise and am in excellent health otherwise. Would Hormone Harmony help me with my symptoms even though I am post menopausal. I am 55 years old.
Getting your vitamin levels tested by your primary as well can help a lot. I recently found out I was very low on vitamin d and iron after getting tested. I started incorporating d3/k2 and a multi with iron with calcium and magnesium. As well as a huge dose of pre/probiotics and my bloating symptoms are gone! I am 46, with regular periods but did have some peri symptoms I mentioned. I’m glad I came across this video. It reminded me to get in to my doc to get my hormones tested asap. I came here for honest reviews on Hormone Harmony. 😅thanks!!!
So, I am considering taking the Hormone Harmony . I had a hysterectomy at 33 years of age, due to endometriosis. Went through pseudo-menpause. 10 years later went through normal menopause (did not take hormone replacement). Fast forward to 62 years, and now I'm having menopause all over again. Is that normal??
That isn't normal, I'm not sure what's going on. I have not heard of going through menopause twice, though I guess symptoms could get worse later if stress increases, weight changes, or other hormone levels interfere.
@@DrShelleyMeyer I've been checking around, and it's happening to lots of women. My hormones have always been messed up. My first period lasted 9 months, and it's been downhill from there.
Hi, just recently found out that my mother and sister started their menopause at 47. I just turned 43. I am on a IUD (Mirena) so my period is not a good indicator nowadays. I do not experience hot flashes and also not mood swings (I think) but do get dizzy/light in the head at times paired with anxiety (I thought it was panic because 8 months ago I got dizzy and immediately followed with an epileptic seizure which I never had before). I do have weight gain and also some stiffnes in mostly my knees. So recently I figured : maybe it's perimenopause? My ferrin/iron has been low but should be fine now since I am taking special pills for that. Do you think Happy Hormone could help especially with the dizziness/anxiety?
I am 31 i do not have a period because i have been on depo over 3 years now. I dont know about perimenopause or menopause because im again only 31 but i have recently had the weight gain back to pregnancy weight and not pregnant, night sweats, Hot flashes like no other! bloating, breast pain in both breast over 3 weeks now and perioral dermatitis which derm says could also be hormonal ive never even had!! All these started right after another almost at the same time!! Can these help me get back balanced maybe i need to quit depo once and for all, because its got to be a hormonal imbalance big time right now!! 🤦🏽♀️Please help.
I’ve been on the fence about Berberine as part of a hormone balance regimen. I have a low resting hr and I’ve read information that indicates it could lower hr father. What are your thoughts on its effect on hr?
Birth control kind of highjacks ovulation and the ebb and flow of normal hormones in a cycle. But I find some women still have some erratic hormones even when in birth control so these kinds of supplements could either help, or maybe not make much of a difference, it's hard to know
Great question. Though it doesn't have any of the directly contraindicated herbs in the blend there's a possibility that some of the adaptogenic herbs could have an unpredictable reaction. I haven't seen this in my personal practice but there are some reported cases of them decreasing or increasing the effectiveness of the ssri's.
The hormone Harmony by happy mammoth will not treat chronic yeast infections. Avoiding sugar, getting a good probiotic going like femdophilus by Jarrow (as an example but see my videos on women's probiotics), and potentially taking a blend like candidastat can help but always be sure to check with your provider because chronic yeast infections can be a signal that something else is going on and or you may need a prescription antifungal.
It depends. I would recommend getting your estradiol and progesterone levels checked day 19 to 22 of your cycle and working with your provider to see if you have a hormone imbalance first.
I found this video for my Mother and sister. Great video 👍🏻 I think there needs to be much more work on the drop of testosterone in males. According to the studies I've read, males have 50% less testosterone than 50 years ago. I've read that males will be impertinent in the future 😮
Would someone who still gets their period regularly each month but lasts 2-3 days tho can take this? I have night sweats, mood swings etc I’m turning 45 in 6 weeks 😬
Your symptoms are like mine. I'm still on my period 2-4 days just like when I was a 15 year old started. I'm almost 52. I took the happy mammoth quiz and results is for me to start with this particular product :)
The hormone Harmony can still be helpful after menopause as the maca and vitex can help, as can the other blends. I also like the blend of herbs in femguard balance.
@@DrShelleyMeyer What if you have been menopausal for 10yr. My last period was when I was 46 and I am now 57 and still get hot flushes, anxiety, insomnia & mood swings. Should I continue taking Hormone harmony, I am just the 2nd day in. I am also taking the prebiotic collagen and L-Glutamine. I am insulin resistant and boarderline type 2 diabetic.
Dr.Shelley So, I have been taking progesterone due to missing period; over a year. I have ordered the hormone harmony recently and today is my third day :) Is it okay for me to take this supplement while I am on progesterone? Also, my Obgyn Dr suggests IUD recently and I want to know your thoughts on that. I am 44 years old. Thank you 🙏
I don't love iuds but they are sometimes a better option for birth control than the pill, etc. But I don't routinely recommend them for Perimenopause, as some gynecologists do. Hormone Harmony should be ok with progesterone but it does have vitex in it so keep an eye on your progesterone levels as vitex can stimulate progesterone production.
@@DrShelleyMeyer thank you for posting this. I was going to order it but you said post menopause probably not helpful. And I'm glad I read the comments like this one Vitex and that it can stimulate progesterone. I just did a test and I'm high on progesterone and low on testosterone and I don't know what to do :( if you have any info on post menopause it would be appreciated. In the meantime I'll keep searching Thanks
I think the estrontrol could potentially be helpful with hormone detoxification and liver support but the hormone Harmony is not a great match when you are already on bio hrt. The reason for this is because of the vitex as it stimulates hormone production, mostly progesterone, and you don't need extra progesterone when you are taking progesterone. I think the blend in general would potentially negate some of the effects of the actual hormone therapy also.
Yes, the rosemary could potentially lower estrogen levels but not by much. The vitex can increase progesterone so you will want to keep an eye on estradiol and progesterone levels with your healthcare privider.
Space it out from your thyroid med by at least 2 hours. It shouldn't interfere but sometimes these herbs can help your thyroid too so always keep an eye on your levels as you may need to reduce your dose of thyroid meds while on them. Taking the pills with your largest meal of the day are best.
Would you recommend this product for mood swings and irritability? I'm 38, and they're getting worse and worse. I don't want to be this irritable mom, and am so hopeful I can balance my hormones.
Yes it is safe to take with both of those but it does have berberine and other blood glucose lowering herbs in it so make sure your blood sugar doesn't get too low.
It might help with vaginal atrophy. There are no major red flags with breast cancer but it's best to discuss this with your breast oncologist before starting it as it does have a lot of ingredients and whenever anyone has a cancer history they need to discuss anything they are considering taking with their provider.
Thank you for this! Happy Mammoth popped up in my insta and I got interested but don't know enough, so thisvideo is really amazing to help me trust trying it. I am 42 and I've been getting new headaches (2-3 days long) with my period for the past 2 years. They only happen 1-2x per year but I can tell they are due to estrogen fluctuations which are new! Yay, aging! Also, seeing weight gain despite being healthy and active. Anyway, I'll be following you here and on IG as well. Really appreciate this content.

What about mentioning the wild yam effects?
Hi Dr Shelley, can hormone harmony be taken with high blood pressure medication, Amlodipine?
Though all of these herbs haven't been individually tested with amlodipine they should be fine together but it's always best to talk with your doctor before starting anything. Do watch out for increased water retention as it's possible this could happen when on the herbs and amlodipine.
I read there is only 24 pills in one bottle. That stopped me in my tracks after getting excited to try this. That coupled with the price makes me apprehensive. Any thought or anything I am missing with this?
Great point, but there are 72 capsules which is a 24 day serving for the bottle. Still not a fabulous quantity for the price.
In Australia the dose is four capsules a day. It is very expensive. Lasts 3 weeks if taken every day. I have stopped for this reason.

It can be use if I have not menopuse issues yet to help my hormonal balance? (Im 32)
It could potentially be helpful as many of the herbs are adaptogens meaning they can be helpful in a variety of hormone imbalances.
Can you take estrogen control if you take thyroxin due to Hashimoto syndrome?
There shouldn't be any interactions between the herbs and the medicine. Don't take them at the same time, as you need to take your thyroid med on its own away from food, meds, and other supplements, but be sure to keep an eye on your thyroid and antibody levels with your provider.
I have been taking Hormone Harmony, I finished the first bottle, no change in my weight whatsoever, as well as having healthy habits and following my macros with my food. I am now 2 weeks into the weight loss protocol bundle. I weighed myself this morning, and I have put ON 1Kg. These products are heavily marketed with helping to lose weight, and I am still waiting for that to happen.
I also have a 10 mile a day cycle commute and do pilates about twice a week, as well as I am keeping up my hydration. Have you actually used these products or are you just going through the ingredients?
Thank you.
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. The purpose of the video was to objectively review the ingredients in their most popular products. I have had many patients use the Hormone Harmony and love the effects on their perimenopause symptoms. As far as weight loss goes, some have seen weight loss and some haven't. I agree that the company heavily markets for weight loss. The problem with mass marketing for weight loss supplements is that everyone is different with genetics, stress levels, hormone levels, unique metabolism, etc. I have tried Hormone Harmony personally and seen a small amount of weight loss. However I have low blood sugar so it's not the greatest fit for me.
I think the women that experience weight loss with HH are those who may lean towards insulin resistance, which is very common in perimenopause and menopause. I have never used or recommended the full weight loss bundle so I can't speak to the effects of that.
I started searching for unpaid, unsponsored reviews on Hormone Harmony because it came up on an ad on my end too. 😅
It was also very helpful to see some of the comments of women’s experiences taking it.
I have to share about my experience recently getting my vitamin levels tested from my primary last couple times I went. I’m a current vegetarian that was a strict vegan for many years. Most of my life. I’m 46, still getting fairly regular periods. Not too bad perimenopause symptoms. I did have some symptoms. Anyway. I found out my d and iron was very low. Surprised that my b levels were normal but that’s probably because I drink a lot of Edensoy Extra soymilk. It’s naturally fortified with kombu for B vitamins. I also eat seaweed on the regular. I started combining a multivitamin with d3/k2 and iron into my diet with a pre probiotic supplement and LET ME TELL YOU…I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!!! Next test I’ll be going for is my hormones, asap. For the time being, hopefully this comment can reach out and help many people who are struggling with bloating and other symptoms like I was…please go get your hormones and vitamin levels tested. It’s so important to keep your vitamin d up for many different reasons. Some of our symptoms are also from not enough nutrition. Regardless how many healthy foods you eat, our soils are depleted. You will notice a huge difference in your life if you get your vitamin levels up and get yourself into some good pre/probiotics. Exercise and hydration makes a huge difference.
Hi im on HRT do have BP too can take venus vital for Vaginal Atrophy
Ok thanks for sharing and watching.
Is it safe to use Hormone Harmony while on mini pill Cerelle. I am 53 and only have night sweats so far. 🥴😊
In general it is but it's always best to discuss with your provider. If you are having hot flashes you may also want to talk with the about coming off the mini pill as it could be suppressing your estrogen even more. But some women feel better on the mini pill so it's a decision that needs to be individualized for you.
I have a question, I get my period for 6 days then it stops for a 2-3 days and starts again for 2 days lightly. I’m 41 and have severe bloating to a point where it’s painful. What can I do?
That's hard to say as I don't know what your hormones look like and there can be many steps that can help. I do have a lot of videos on this channel with info that may help and it would also be good to get your hormone levels checked and work on stress, diet, and have your vitamin and iron levels checked.
Can i take these products while taking wellbutrin?
In general yes but always check with your provider too.
Great video, is this suitable for women with Fibroids
Yes some of the adaptogenic herbs in the blend could be quite helpful.
I am 51 and about to turn 52 in June. The hot flashes are horrible. My periods have fluctuated since I had emergency gall bladder removal surgery in February 2023
They can be so terrible. I hope they get better.
Do you think it is safe to be on hormone harmony while on nexplanon birth control?
It should be but please talk with your provider as only they know your unique history. Some of the ingredients can increase fertility though.
I have my ovaries but no uterus/cervix. I’m 48 and feeling that drag in energy, mood and stubborn weight. None of these supplements talk about partial hysterectomy ladies like me. Any guidance?
Iam following this question as i need the same thing answered
Since you still have your ovaries all of these perimenopause videos can be relevant, other than those that talk about heavy bleeding. Hormone Harmony could be an option for you but it's still a good idea to track your hormones so you don't start the wrong type of blend.
Do you think it is possible to combine this supplements with HTR?? I am in perimenopause, my gynecology told me keep the Mirena and prescribed estradiol...but I keep gaining weight, so I was recommended this product. But I am worry, it will be too much
It's ok to combine them usually but since I don't know you please be sure to discuss it with your provider before starting it. I usually don't start estradiol in perimenopause unless a woman is in the very late stages of Perimenopause and we confirm that her estradiol is staying low and not spiking up. But with a mirena this may be already taking care of the estradiol and making it low.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been seeing these adds for this product all over my feeds.
Should you have your hormone levels checked prior to taking Happy Mammoth? What if your levels are within normal range not indicating pre-menopause or menopause should you still take these? I am 49, had a hysterectomy 3 yrs ago (ovaries left) I’ve experienced weight gain, but have had my hormone levels checked a few times and I am told they are in normal range. Wondering your thoughts. Thank you
It's not absolutely necessary but I would recommend checking then and then checking against the normals on my lab blog on perimenopause.help.
@@DrShelleyMeyer thank you for your reply!
Hi Dr.Shelley, I have been taking the product Provitalize and Previtalize by Better body
I noticed a difference in the beginning
Have you heard of it?
Similar?
Thoughts
I have not heard of them. Do the ingredients look similar?
Could it help for hormone acne imbalance? i’m 29
Potentially, but mainly only if your acne was coming from estrogen dominance. If it's coming from excess testosterone or some other reason this may not help.
Thank you for your honest review. Iam 33 years old, most of the time bloated, dealing with mood swings and adult acne. I have a regular period but a few miscarriages already. Do you think I should give them a try?
Hard to say without knowing your unique situation and hormone levels but it might be helpful.
Can you review the effects of the combination of inositol with choline for metabolic syndrome and menopause?
I can try to do a video on that in the future
Can you please tell me which one of these will help with hot flashes?Sweating ext for a total hysterectomy? Im desperately trying to find out. Ive had menodaily for 1 month. Have to order more today. So if you could please help I would greatly appreciate it 😢 . I've taken estrogen since 2007. But stopped a couple of months ago. My Estrogen levels are 27 and testosterone levels are 4.
If you've used the menodaily for 1 month and it hasn't helped then that's likely not a good fit though it could help as far as providing nutrients but not necessarily for hot flashes. I like menopause 731 by life extension us.fullscript.com/o/care-center/products/U3ByZWU6OlByb2R1Y3QtOTEwOTQ=
Or many women like Relizen by Bonafide, see my most recent video for info on this and a 15% coupon link in the video description
I’m 33 but I haven’t had a period since I was 24 due to cancer treatments. I initially went to a doctor when I was 24 who tested my hormone levels & I just remember her saying my levels are those of a 70 yo woman. I’ve since just been on an ultra low dose birth control pills for the hormones…is this something that can help? Especially with weight?
Birth control usually hijacks hormones and makes them low also so this may be making your levels even lower but there are benefits to that for some women. This supplement could help low hormone symptoms but it's best to discuss it with your doctor given your unique medical history.
I am 53 and haven't had a period in 8 months so I'm assuming I will hit that one year mark and be in Menopause soon. I have hot flashes and night sweats, weight gain, and low energy. I have been taking a probiotic for the last 3 months as well. Do you think Happy Mammoth would be beneficial for me at all at this point?
It could be, it's always best to discuss it with your provider but it does have ingredients that help those symptoms you mentioned.
Oh Hey! 👋💖
Hi 👋
I just purchased the hormone harmony,I am 50 years old and have had the ablation surgery done 12 years ago and I do not have a period. How do I know what stage I am in,perimenopause or am I in menopause? I really appreciate your insight.
That's tough when you don't have a period. The best thing to do is have your doc test your day, lh, estradiol, and progesterone.
Contact your Doctor
I am post menopausal however I still have all of the symptoms, weight gain, mood swings, sleep issues, hot flushes, etc. i eat healthy and regularly exercise and am in excellent health otherwise. Would Hormone Harmony help me with my symptoms even though I am post menopausal. I am 55 years old.
Yes I think it could still help these symptoms
Getting your vitamin levels tested by your primary as well can help a lot. I recently found out I was very low on vitamin d and iron after getting tested. I started incorporating d3/k2 and a multi with iron with calcium and magnesium. As well as a huge dose of pre/probiotics and my bloating symptoms are gone! I am 46, with regular periods but did have some peri symptoms I mentioned. I’m glad I came across this video. It reminded me to get in to my doc to get my hormones tested asap. I came here for honest reviews on Hormone Harmony. 😅thanks!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting, I totally agree checking vitamin, mineral, and hormone levels with your PCP is essential!
So, I am considering taking the Hormone Harmony . I had a hysterectomy at 33 years of age, due to endometriosis. Went through pseudo-menpause. 10 years later went through normal menopause (did not take hormone replacement). Fast forward to 62 years, and now I'm having menopause all over again. Is that normal??
That isn't normal, I'm not sure what's going on. I have not heard of going through menopause twice, though I guess symptoms could get worse later if stress increases, weight changes, or other hormone levels interfere.
@@DrShelleyMeyer I've been checking around, and it's happening to lots of women. My hormones have always been messed up. My first period lasted 9 months, and it's been downhill from there.
Hi, just recently found out that my mother and sister started their menopause at 47. I just turned 43. I am on a IUD (Mirena) so my period is not a good indicator nowadays. I do not experience hot flashes and also not mood swings (I think) but do get dizzy/light in the head at times paired with anxiety (I thought it was panic because 8 months ago I got dizzy and immediately followed with an epileptic seizure which I never had before). I do have weight gain and also some stiffnes in mostly my knees. So recently I figured : maybe it's perimenopause? My ferrin/iron has been low but should be fine now since I am taking special pills for that. Do you think Happy Hormone could help especially with the dizziness/anxiety?
Potentially. I have definitely seen itnhelp
Oops...I have definitely seen it help anxiety.
I am 31 i do not have a period because i have been on depo over 3 years now. I dont know about perimenopause or menopause because im again only 31 but i have recently had the weight gain back to pregnancy weight and not pregnant, night sweats, Hot flashes like no other! bloating, breast pain in both breast over 3 weeks now and perioral dermatitis which derm says could also be hormonal ive never even had!! All these started right after another almost at the same time!! Can these help me get back balanced maybe i need to quit depo once and for all, because its
got to be a hormonal imbalance big time right now!! 🤦🏽♀️Please help.
Most of those symptoms could be very likely due to depo. Perioral dermatitis maybe not but it could also be caused by depo.
I’ve been on the fence about Berberine as part of a hormone balance regimen.
I have a low resting hr and I’ve read information that indicates it could lower hr father. What are your thoughts on its effect on hr?
It potentially could lower it as it lowers blood sugar and blood pressure sometimes also
How do birth control pills impact these supplements? Do they change the hormonal needs?
Birth control kind of highjacks ovulation and the ebb and flow of normal hormones in a cycle. But I find some women still have some erratic hormones even when in birth control so these kinds of supplements could either help, or maybe not make much of a difference, it's hard to know
Are there any contraindications to taking Hormone Harmony with an SSRI?
Great question. Though it doesn't have any of the directly contraindicated herbs in the blend there's a possibility that some of the adaptogenic herbs could have an unpredictable reaction. I haven't seen this in my personal practice but there are some reported cases of them decreasing or increasing the effectiveness of the ssri's.
I’m 41and taking thyroid med and IUD my weight gained..I’m hoping this products works for me just ordered
I hope it helps.
Does it helps with chronic yeast infections?
The hormone Harmony by happy mammoth will not treat chronic yeast infections. Avoiding sugar, getting a good probiotic going like femdophilus by Jarrow (as an example but see my videos on women's probiotics), and potentially taking a blend like candidastat can help but always be sure to check with your provider because chronic yeast infections can be a signal that something else is going on and or you may need a prescription antifungal.
Would you advise taking it in mid 30s as a hormone support?
It depends. I would recommend getting your estradiol and progesterone levels checked day 19 to 22 of your cycle and working with your provider to see if you have a hormone imbalance first.
I found this video for my Mother and sister. Great video 👍🏻
I think there needs to be much more work on the drop of testosterone in males. According to the studies I've read, males have 50% less testosterone than 50 years ago.
I've read that males will be impertinent in the future 😮
I agree that male hormone balance could definitely use some more balanced and helpful coverage also.
Would someone who still gets their period regularly each month but lasts 2-3 days tho can take this? I have night sweats, mood swings etc I’m turning 45 in 6 weeks 😬
Yes, you could try it to see if it helps. You have a lot of symptoms of perimenopause.
Your symptoms are like mine. I'm still on my period 2-4 days just like when I was a 15 year old started. I'm almost 52. I took the happy mammoth quiz and results is for me to start with this particular product :)
What would you recommend for after the year with no cycle for hot flashes and mood swings?
The hormone Harmony can still be helpful after menopause as the maca and vitex can help, as can the other blends. I also like the blend of herbs in femguard balance.
@@DrShelleyMeyer What if you have been menopausal for 10yr. My last period was when I was 46 and I am now 57 and still get hot flushes, anxiety, insomnia & mood swings. Should I continue taking Hormone harmony, I am just the 2nd day in. I am also taking the prebiotic collagen and L-Glutamine. I am insulin resistant and boarderline type 2 diabetic.
Dr.Shelley
So, I have been taking progesterone due to missing period; over a year. I have ordered the hormone harmony recently and today is my third day :) Is it okay for me to take this supplement while I am on progesterone?
Also, my Obgyn Dr suggests IUD recently and I want to know your thoughts on that. I am 44 years old. Thank you 🙏
I don't love iuds but they are sometimes a better option for birth control than the pill, etc. But I don't routinely recommend them for Perimenopause, as some gynecologists do. Hormone Harmony should be ok with progesterone but it does have vitex in it so keep an eye on your progesterone levels as vitex can stimulate progesterone production.
@@DrShelleyMeyer thank you for posting this. I was going to order it but you said post menopause probably not helpful. And I'm glad I read the comments like this one Vitex and that it can stimulate progesterone. I just did a test and I'm high on progesterone and low on testosterone and I don't know what to do :( if you have any info on post menopause it would be appreciated. In the meantime I'll keep searching Thanks
@@DrShelleyMeyer Thank you, Dr.Meyer
Hi
what is your view on Hormon
Harmony for menopause when you are on HRT?
I think the estrontrol could potentially be helpful with hormone detoxification and liver support but the hormone Harmony is not a great match when you are already on bio hrt. The reason for this is because of the vitex as it stimulates hormone production, mostly progesterone, and you don't need extra progesterone when you are taking progesterone. I think the blend in general would potentially negate some of the effects of the actual hormone therapy also.
Can you take these products whilst taking hrt? ☺️
Yes, the rosemary could potentially lower estrogen levels but not by much. The vitex can increase progesterone so you will want to keep an eye on estradiol and progesterone levels with your healthcare privider.
*provider 🙂
What is the best time of day to take the Hormone Harmony? Does it interfere with thyroid medication?
Space it out from your thyroid med by at least 2 hours. It shouldn't interfere but sometimes these herbs can help your thyroid too so always keep an eye on your levels as you may need to reduce your dose of thyroid meds while on them. Taking the pills with your largest meal of the day are best.
*is best 🙂
Would you recommend this product for mood swings and irritability? I'm 38, and they're getting worse and worse. I don't want to be this irritable mom, and am so hopeful I can balance my hormones.
Yes, I think it could be helpful for those symptoms.
Is it safe to take with Tirzepatide?
Or Semaglutide?
Yes it is safe to take with both of those but it does have berberine and other blood glucose lowering herbs in it so make sure your blood sugar doesn't get too low.
See my other reply.
Does this help vaginal atrophy? If you have a hormone positive breast cancer history can you take this?
It might help with vaginal atrophy. There are no major red flags with breast cancer but it's best to discuss this with your breast oncologist before starting it as it does have a lot of ingredients and whenever anyone has a cancer history they need to discuss anything they are considering taking with their provider.
Thank you for this! Happy Mammoth popped up in my insta and I got interested but don't know enough, so thisvideo is really amazing to help me trust trying it. I am 42 and I've been getting new headaches (2-3 days long) with my period for the past 2 years. They only happen 1-2x per year but I can tell they are due to estrogen fluctuations which are new! Yay, aging! Also, seeing weight gain despite being healthy and active. Anyway, I'll be following you here and on IG as well. Really appreciate this content.
Glad the video and content is helpful, thanks so much for watching and commenting. Perimenopause is a rough time!
I tried the full script link and it says I need an invite from a practitioner? Are you able to send me that?
Sorry about that. Which supplement were you looking at? You can DM on Instagram if that's easier (if you use IG).
