Dr. Lisa Mosconi is a rock star. She's ranked among the top 1% of scientists of the past 20 years by official metrics, and she was listed as one of the 17 most influential living female scientists by The Times. AMAZING work!
I am so excited that you brought on Dr. Mosconi! I recently watched her entire interview on Diary of a CEO. She's FANTASTIC!!!
Ooh! Thanks for the tip!
Me too! Such a great podcast.
Think of a world where women have the wisdom of being 50 and older, and the brains and bodies of 30-year-olds! Now that would be a great world to live in. ❤
Thank you both for being so freaking brave and badass. 👏👸🏻👸🏻
You both are warriors! Thank you for advocating for us and for giving us hope which empowers us. I'm ever grateful. Lisa
I just started HRT at 63. This is 8 years after menopause. It has helped me sleep well and think more clearly. I had been worried about my memory. I feel so much better. Thank you for your hard work!
I was one of those women who had to leave their high pressure positions, did not even think it was menopause. Wish I had this information available years ago. Thank you for persistence in this research.
Me too. I left a senior engineering position at a major tech company 5 years ago and no physician ever mentioned menopause or MHT to me. A month ago, I found an amazing new gynecologist and she started me on an Estradiol patch and oral Micronized Progesterone, even though I’m 10+ years post-menopausal. I hope I get my brain, energy, and bone density back, as well as improved sleep going forward.🤞
@@jt8142 amazing how many of us have similar stories. Wishing you all the best!
@@jt8142
Let us spread the word and fight this misogyny together. We can become "an army of women"! 💪
Best wishes to you and your journey from Germany 🇩🇪
Me too. Now slowly trying to build my life back together.
@jt8142 Best of luck. 🙏 I haven't been able to go back to work for a few years either. Was associating so many different reasons as to why I couldn't sleep or sit in front of a computer for more than 5 minutes, when all along it was the hormones.
I have been in anticipation of this interview since I finished reading "The Menopause Brain" and "The New Menopause." My 2 favorite women doctors!!! 🤗👏👏👏
The rise of the feminine energy is on a freakin roll! Love it!!!! I’m 56 post menopausal been taking HRT for a couple years now. Also prescribed progesterone and testosterone by my ARNP naturopath. I mind my lifestyle, the food I eat, exercise, and my connection to Spirit and spending time in nature. I feel the best I ever have! Thank you for all the hard work and service you’re both providing to women! ❤😊❤😊
What is ARNP? Are you in the US?
@@gosiak3267 hi yes I’m in the US. Advanced nurse practitioner. Theses are nurses who can diagnosis and RX meds. Similar to a Dr. but without the same number of years of medical schooling as a Dr.
This is my identical story!!
Yes to the Nobel Prize! Thank you BOTH for your passion and persistence in a much needed area of study and understanding!!! I'm so grateful for all I'm learning; I'm understanding more and more about the causes of the living hell from so many symptoms in the last 5 years and also gaining hope to improve the situation along with preventing further decline. Much gratitude! 💜
Same.. almost 5 years of perimenopause and I didn't even know until I read Dr. Lee's book and started watching Dr. Haver when symptoms got intolerable.
These two amazing doctors make a great team in educating the world. Both are so intelligent, charismatic and great communicators.
Can't wait to see more of Dr. Mosconi's findings. Her tenacity, innovation and vision is very impressive.
I hope results for older women in the study are positive and can possibly help my mother who is in her late 70s. The cognitive decline is real.
I just finished Dr. Mosconi books and it shed so much light and validated everything I am feeling and going thru. I AM NOT CRAZY!!! I am just a woman
These 2 women plus Louise Newson are literally doing the lords work for women. What a triad of knowledge and education.
Thank you both for your perseverance and making females lives better. Dr. Lisa Mosconi definitely deserves the Noble Prize.
❤
Definitely 💯 She's done God's work for the past 20 years and her passion really comes through in her presentation.
Nobel Price for Doctor Mary for her heroic fight for us, woman !!!! Thanks to you I feel like myslef again ! HRT put me from suicidal to happy again !❤
Im so thankful for your work, and making this knowledge accessible for everyone for free 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
I think the window of opportunity is crap. I started taking HRT at 65 because I was denied. I feel so much better! Don’t look my age. HRT can help at any age. Of course I would have liked it when I was younger but the docs believed the WHI.
I’m 62 and my doctor doesn’t recommend it but she did send me to have my cardiac score and my APOB blood test done first. what do they have you on? I’m so ready to start something that will work with me
@@irmabrizuela1293 I take oral progesterone 100mg at night. I have estrogen and testosterone pellets. Change the pellets every 4 months or so. I use estradiol creme 2-3x/week vaginally. Cholesterol labs are better than when I was 40. B/p good.
I share this info to help my fellow sisters.
@@irmabrizuela1293 She’s looking for a reason not to give you HRT. Estrogen protects your heart.
@@irmabrizuela1293I’m almost 61 years old and started MHT 5 weeks ago. I’m currently on Estradiol patch 0.075 MG (went up to this higher dose yesterday); oral Micronized Progesterone 200 MG (initially started out on 100 MG); and vaginal Estradiol cream 0.01%
@irmabrizuela1293 Doctors are so damn scared! Get your HRT no matter what. I really had to fight for mine too here in Germany! I feel so much better and fitter and lost weight (joints and muscles stopped hurting, frozen shoulder melted away) and I sleep better, brain fog almost completely gone after only 10 months of HRT.
I can also recommend the Podcasts by the British Menopause specialist dr Louise Newson, she will give you all the details (systematically) you need to know. Of course, Dr. Mary Claire Haver is brilliant too....
Best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪
I am a big fan of you both..amazing work you are doing.. I am so sorry that I have found you late.. I am 62 and I have just started HRT because of you and I cannot thank you enough for what you are doing.. I have found out that i am not alone.. my circle is as ignorant as i was so, i been spreading the word and referring them to your work.. thank you.. truly. ❤
I have been waiting for this!!! Dr. Lisa Mosconi is my superhero!!
OMG OMG OMG! ❤ Dr Haver AND dr. Mosconi! ❤ Two rock stars!!! I have all your books. Dr. Mosconi is a trailblazer in women's brain health. Auguri! 🎉🎉🎉
I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia a neurological disorder for 10 years back, when I reached premenopausal stage my symptoms worsened significantly, I got HRT even though I still had my periods and it made a whole difference for me. I’m so glad I was able to recognize declining in my overall health so early.
I’m living proof that decrease in estrogen can be detrimental for our brain and neurological functioning.
I watched both podcasts yesterday and this was so eye opening! My friends and I talk about our new symptoms and we just chalked it up to getting older but hearing estrogen levels can cause symptoms that I’ve questioned for the last 8 or so years makes me feel like I’m not crazy anymore
Wow! Thank you to these two amazing woman and Maria Shriver! 🙏
OMG!!!! 2 of the top, most amazing doctors right now!!! you are so great! thank you for joining your incredible knowledge!
These are my two favorite persons in life now! Bravo for bringing Dr Mosconi, absolutely genius
I'm almost 70, and on hrt for 10 years, you can use my brain
Your both powerhouses of knowledge that women need to watch and listen too. This information needs to spread far and wide to save as many women as possible. The knowledge i have gained from Marie has been helping me take care of myself as I have perimenopause signs for the last 8years, since docs won't listen to me. Unfortunately I have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 40 and will be needing to be put into menopause stage medically. This has made me feel alittle uneasy as l have not thought that far ahead. Now with all the information you have put out there it further pushes in the back of my mind that I need to make sure I do some sort of HRT post surgery. BTW my mother 64, has Alzheimers post breast cancer not even 10 years post her surgeries. This research is so important to save lives. Thank you for getting this info out.
I am so sorry about your diagnosis and need to now go into menopause so early in life. It is a state that I would not wish on my worst enemy. I hope you are able to navigate it well. 🕊

@@BarbaraM-lv7pe Can someone please tell me how about people like me? I had Stage 1 estrogen driven breast cancer, 1 cm caught early, removed and no lymph nodes affected but they made me stop bioidentical hormones and progesterone and want to put me on aromatese inhibitors and that will remove all estrogen, I don't want to. Do people like me have to go on AIs, that will make us sicker and give us hot flashes and joint pain and possible osteoporosis.
Thank you! Another evidenced based reason to take HRT.
This is so fascinating, and so important! Dr Mosconi, thank you so much for your books, work, and research. I feel so fortunate to be in early post menopause, and having a family history of dementia, at this time.
This gives me so much hope for future generations! Thank you to both of you for all you do
I had a complete hysterectomy at 46 yrs. Although I felt fine relatively (no hot flashes etc), I began hrt 3 yrs ago. Oh, I am now 69 yrs old! I didn’t know that brain fog was related to my hormones! HRT was a game changer! 💕
HRT saved my sanity in all honesty.
I'm a bit scared of it but today made an appointment with a new obyn in 1 month. Something gotta change because I m feeling going insane and dying one day and doing gym workouts as an Olympic on another. 😢
Omg she is just incredible & her work is a huge heroic mission for which women will be so grateful for generations to come! yes of course she should get the Nobel prize at the very least! What a star ! Thanks both of you for great work! Just keep on it, we’re all behind you!
Thank goodness for you amazing Drs ❤
I had to go to several different doctors before I found one that supports this research. It was life changing! I'm so happy there are doctors who keep up with the newest research 🙌
Thank you Dr. Mosconi, thank you Dr. Haver, thank you Maria Shriver too!!!
What an exciting conversation between my two favorite advocates for women's health!
Two of my favorite people ❤
Two of my favourite people together! Thank you Dr.Mary Claire Haver for this interview!❤❤
I have been waiting for you two to do a podcast! ❤❤
Oh my gosh, I am crying with joy. This is so exciting and incredible!
Thank you Thank you Thank you ❤❤❤
thank you from the bottom of my heart for this work💚I feel excited and more deeply aware of my agency as I listen and learn. I noticed I was smiling and may or may not have done a fist pump. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
You are both amazing. Thank you so much for the work you do. I started HRT because of Dr Haver's teachings. So grateful
We need to add Psilocybin to this conversation. So many women are using it in perimenopause to help relieve symptoms too and for brain benefits. It’s showing promise for regulating menstrual cycles too.
Yes!
I will have to go to my primary and start therapy . I’ll be turning 61 and the lack of sleep brain fog and weight fluctuation now I have an answer for it . Ty ty to you both ❤
It would be interesting to know if multiple pregnancies (where hormones go so high) also help in prevention of dementia, heart attack, etc
Oh this gives me hope. Now, I must cry.
Huge huge thank you both for your work❤
So grateful for this post. At 58 post-menopausal I am just starting bio identical hrt and I am so excited. I have felt like I swallowed the stupid pill since I entered menopause. I always knew it was a hormone issue but my older sisters told me to never get hormones 😔.
I love Dr Mosconi and I 100% agree that peri/MONOPAUSE is one of the greatest opportunities of our life to come out better on the other side. Of course it takes work, but it's exciting when we take the right action. HRT is not a solution for all by far and I and my clients continue to be proof of this. A plantbased diet and deep liver care, along with a ton of inner work, does pay off and can alleviate all of symptoms, naturally. I am excited for all that is to come and so grateful for women like Dr Mosconi
This is the video I’ve been waiting for! Please do more videos together.
Just Amazing, Thank You!!!
Wow, that was a great discussion, thanks for sharing!
Thank you!!! This is amazing 😮
Thank you Dr Lisa! Thank you ❤for
Beautiful share, thank you Ladies ❤
Im 55 and still on my periods but i have oestrogeen dominance! I got progesteron gelly pil 200 mg for the night for 12 days to take and 14 days no pill.. cuz i get them like 17 days and they stop for 6 days...i have to follow this for 2 months and get back to my gaeyncologist..im from belgium and happy to see this teamwork! Finally medicine field woman are helping other woman to get through a long life ...but healthy one!! Thank you!!!
I don’t know if I believe all of that estrogen dominance talk. I think it’s a way for docs not to give you HRT. When you compare the symptoms of menopause and estrogen dominance the symptoms are the same. I think it’s a fad.
The geaynecologist did a biopsy of the uterus. I had no progesterone. No egg was released but estrogen remained high, hence the bleeding. The periode of 5 days was now spread over 17 dsys. The peri.menopause is a rollercoaster of everything that is abnormal😢
There is a lot of controversy out there whether a thing like "estrogen dominance" truly exists... it might just as likely be a lack of progesterone.
I am 54 and at 53 also experienced heavy bleeding - my doctor decided to increase my Progesteron dose to 300 milligrams each day. Now the annoying bleeding stopped and I sleep even better... but I needed a blood test to find out that my free testosterone was really really low even though my total Testosteron looked "normal". But I have been on the birth control pill for more than thirty years and my SHBG levels are just too high. My doctor was really scared of giving me the hrt and I had to convince him and I will be his first patient to get testosterone (hopefully soon). I have always been very athletic but the last few years with declining hormones I lost so much muscle strength...
I had to become an expert on the topic myself and now teach my doctors and lots of women around me who are in desperate need of help. Many are about to give up their jobs because of the brain fog and insomnia. Women worldwide suffer so much needlessly just because of ignorance and all the Misogyny in science...
Best wishes to you and your journey 💪🍀from Germany 🇩🇪
P.S. i very much recommend the podcasts from the British Menopause specialist Dr Louise Newson - she is also fantastic 👍
@@nicolemerz1731 Taking the testosterone was a game changer in my life. Good luck!
@rachidanait707 We learned from Dr. Haver that estrogen dominance does not mean estrogen is not needed.. just means we need progesterone along with it.
Plus it peaks and valleys constantly in perimenopause.
Perhaps get a second opinion from an HRT specialist.
🎉🤗🧠 GIVE ME ALL THAT MAGICAL ESTROGEN!!!💃🏼🥰
Love this so much!!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Finally! These two together!!
Dynamic duo!
This is so exciting.🎉🎉
Omg great information ❤
Downloaded the study! ❤
Absolutely Noble Prize!
WOW! Thank you!!!!!!!!!! I intuitively always felt hormone balance is the key to healing many diseases.
Hi Dr MCH- Greetings from NYC
Love this ❤
Thanks from Chile girls!
Thanks
so happy that you are taking about the menopause told i can’t have it because of my age
It would be so good for the HRT to be adjusted, improved. I have already tried two types of patches and I had quite serious side effects. I am going to try the oestrogen spray next, as Dr Mosconi said in an interview that she thinks the spray form is good. I will see. Thank you for all your work, both of you, wonderful women.
Dr. Louise Newson an Australian doctor talks about this as well, is fascinating ❤ thank you so much!
Louise Newson is amazing but she’s from the UK 😃
This is amazing to hear! It is very different being a woman. We feel it inside, but can’t makemen see it. Lol.
Thank you Drs Haven and Mosconi! Where can I sign up to contribute to Dr Mosconi’s studies?
I started hrt 3 years after my last period. It's helped enormously! Sleep 7s excellent, the gyn says my uterus is that of a much younger woman, and I no longer forget names.
What I get from these is how uninformed we w9men areqhen it comes to menopuase as it was never talked about in the past. Young women need to know too what they are going to go through to be prepared and take action.
I'm 71 and haven't been myself since my peri began at 43. I was hooked in by the rubbish WHI trial 'results' and didn't take HRT back then. Doctors continued to tell me I'd missed my window. I'm now a menopause advisor and have learned a tremendous amount. Because of this, I've tried HRT 3 times in the last 7 years but it woke up my polyp (which I've now had removed) and I got sore breasts, so in each case, I've stopped taking it. I've been told that the body doesn't like us to start and stop, so I don't now know what to do, but I'd love to try again. I wish I knew someone who'd be able to figure out how to alleviate the breast soreness which is extremely uncomfortable, because nobody seems to know. I'm in the UK and would like to be in touch with someone who would give me another chance, but obviously who's as clued up as the amazing Lisa Mosconi! I'm still looking....🤞🏻🤞🏻
Dr Louise Newson is amazing. She did a podcast with Dr Haver. She’s in the UK, based in Stratford Upon Avon. A few women in a FB menopause group I’m in have accessed her clinic. I’ve listened mostly to these 3 incredible women.
I am 49 and I am in menopause
I’m 48 and I am already post menopausal 😢
@@mariapalos6101so even better - go and get your HRT as quickly as possible. Watch the podcast by the British menopause specialist Dr Luise Newson - she is a gem too
Yeah!
Hello, and thank you for all you do! This is important work you're doing!
I am 57, and have not had any surgeries. Haven't had a period in over 10 years. My Dr refuses to prescribe HRT due to my being 10 yes post meno, and being close to 60. Please tell me I can start HRT safely. 🙏 TIA
Please find another doctor. The NAMS says no cut off age anymore. You’re worth it!
I agree, find a new provider.
I just started MHT last month. I went to a different gynecologist and she prescribed oral Micronized Progesterone, transdermal Estradiol patch, and vaginal Estradiol cream for GSM symptoms. I am 60.5 years old and am more than 10 years post-menopausal. I also have normal BMI & blood pressure, have never smoked, minimal alcohol consumption, and my last cardiac calcium score was zero, so she feels confident that I don’t have pre-existing cardiovascular disease. However, I do have osteoporosis and a family history of dementia so I’m hoping MHT will help with that and other post-menopausal symptoms.
@@georgiabessie I am waiting for a call back frome a hormone specialist! Thank you!
@@jt8142 I ended up getting pellets. I receive all that you do plus testosterone. I felt better in 3 days. Never going back.

Thank you both for the difference you're making!
I'm very curious about the dosing of HRT since it's often 1/10th-1/20th if I'm doing my math correctly
Can you please talk about overlap with breastfeeding and perimenopausal and what can be done to help?
I wish there was a daily estrodiol patch instead of twice a week or once a week.
Why would you prefer the extra hassle of replacing a patch daily and removing the residual glue?
Great conversation… but did I miss the section on full hysterectomy women?…. What about us?….. please include us in this important discussion
If you have had a full hysterectomy then you are post menopausal. All the information they talk about regarding menopause/post menopause applies. You may experience more severe symptoms because you do not enter menopause gradually.

@@maryclairehavermd8473 thank you A; for replying & B; for clarifying where “we” fit in… much appreciated 👌😊
Watch Menopause Taylor on TH-cam. She's an expert gynaecologist and all your answers are in her hundreds of videos on the subject of menopause. www.youtube.com/@MenopauseTaylor/videos
Dr. Clarie I read your book the new Menopause. And you said that you prefer bioidentical estradiol. Here in Canada is too hard to get Hormonal therapy replacement. Finally, my family doctor gave me Climara and I Want to know if it is bioidentical. I really appreciate it all you are doing for us.❤
Does it not say what it is on the box? Does the medication not have a leaflet inside which you should read before taking?
Climara pro is made of estradiol and levonorgestrel. Estradiol is considered body identical because it is plant derived and your body recognizes in the same way that your body did your own estrogen. Levonorgestrel is synthetic.

@maryclairehavermd8473 Thank you so much ❤️ you changed my life. I will always be grateful for you ❤️
Hi, I am 68 years old, and went through menopause at age 43. I had been on HRT’s, which included Estrace and Prometrium until 2019 when I was diagnosed with BRCA1 mutation. I then had prophylactic bilateral mastectomies, and hysterectomy with BSO. Intraoperative I was found to have stage one fallopian tube cancer. The timing of all this was nothing less than miraculous. I had chemo prophylactically at that time., and have not had reoccurrence. As you would expect my HRT‘s were Ripped away from me. So essentially, I have been off HRT‘s for five years. I am wondering if stopping my HRT’s cancelled out all the years of cardiovasular, neuro protection. My main concern at this point is that my mother as well as her sister had dementia. I do have some arterial plaque, but not obstructive. My labs are all great and my lipid panel is fabulous as I am on Crestor. I really want to go back on some form of HRT, because dementia is a fate worse than death. No doctor will have a conversation with me about this. I just get the side eye and eye roll.
I am angry with my country as we have a shortage of hrt. Impossible to find. Next available batches aren't due till late july early August. These companies need to up their production of hrt as more women turn towards taking it. We are also competing with trans men too now so less availability for us .
But trans men only need to take oestrogen, not progesterone as well, as they do not have a uterus. Women with uterus have to take both.
👏
Great interview! Too bad the audio cuts in and out, that is annoying..:( trying to listen in a loud Starbucks..
Hello I am on the creams now and I will like to know what is better HRT
Due to my mother having had breast cancer 18 yrs ago, (& her momther as well), I can not take estrogen. (I also had a TIA (mini stroke) whiIe I was 35. I'll be 55 this Aug. It was due to a tare in my R corroted artery behind my R ear. So a blood clot formed, trying to "repair the tare."(I Was in the hospital for a wk when they found it on an ultrasound. I was put on blood thinners & bp meds for a yr w/ MRIs ev few mo.s to monitor the healing. (No surgery, thank God!) I am also on bp meds. (Yrs now) I was given progesterone cream to try, ( 1" inserted), but it made me REALLY DIZZY!! So that was a big NO for me!!
You can use estrogen cream / gel and progesterone pill
So, hormone therapy could be ok but we still don't know the right dosis and the righ time to do it?
Keep doing your research. The hardest part is knowing what to talk about with the GYN and what HRT approach is the best. What do you think about the company Wynona and what they offer?
Love the interview. Great job to both of you. ❤

As a 23 year nurse, mostly in icu I now wonder how much lack of estrogen contributed to so many things I've seen. How much does birth control contribute to the mental health issues of young women? Is there a role in postpartum depression and psychosis? What about depression with psychosis in older women? My mind is just racing.
There's oestrogen receptor cells in EVERY part of the female body. Lack of oestrogen adversely affects EVERY part of the body, from eyes, heart, to bones to brain to vagina.
Hi I watch you on all of your platforms. Could you please talk about how our sex organs are not as sensitive during/after menopause. Also how some of the sex organs can shrink during over time. TY❤
Do you follow Dr. Kelly Casperson? She is the expert in this area and Dr. Haver's go to for these types of issues.
~ XO Community Support Team
You can get localised oestrogen just for the vagina to stop vaginal atrophy or you could take systemic HRT for the WHOLE body including the vagina.
What does this all mean for women who have had breast cancer? I had breast cancer at 48, I’m now 60 and have been clear since. What is the greatest danger to me - the breast cancer returning or the consequences of menopause?
From what I have heard from other podcasts, it depends on what kind of cancer you have. In some cancers, estrogen causes growth of the cancer. In others, estrogen is not the reason the cancer is growing, so, it's safe. You might try asking your oncologist whether your cancer is effected by estrogen. Hope this helps. You might try listening to Dr. Susan Hardwicke-Smith. She has talked about this quite a bit. Also,Dr. Louise Newsome. These ladies are incredibly knowledgeable. ❤❤❤
@@leslieh335 Thank you for your reply. I’m a nurse married to an oncologist. My cancer was Oestrogen sensitive, which is why I had to start on Tamoxifen at 48yo. This was all 12 years ago, so now the question is how to up which is the greatest danger to my health - the cancer possible returning or all the other “side effects” of 12 years of menopause. I’m already on antidepressants (with their own side effects), pre diabetic (despite being a healthy weight), fatty liver (despite a healthy diet). Medicine always involves weighing up risks and benefits, which is difficult when the risks and benefits of HRT for women like myself, are unknown as there have been no large scale studies.
Do you follow the social media accounts of Estrogen Matters and Dr. Corinne Menn? They are the experts in options after cancer. There is some new research emerging in this field so they are definitely worth following. Estrogen Matters is also a book and a great resource.

@@maryclairehavermd8473 Thank you.
I stopped working for a year and with financial inflation it was the worst timing but I wasnt sleeping and I was super angry about not sleeping. Was able to finally convince my doctor to put me on birth control. Theres a big gag though because these doctors make you wait 2 yrs with no period and go off all hormones for 2 month to get hrt. Which is not functional to having a job or doing well in any career
What are the interventions for those that cannot or do not want to take HRT?
For 3 years I got by on a slew of supplements which eventually stopped working. What Dr. Haver says made sense to me.. you don't just want to alleviate symptoms, but also replenish hormones to prevent a long list of diseases from deficiency. Every organ in the body needs hormones.
I am 49 and blood test for the hormones shows I am in menopause, I currently decide to start with the estradiol/ testosterone cream once daily and progesterone capsule 25 mg at night, can you tell me if the cream is like a good choice.
I've been on estrogen (80/20) and testosterone cream for 12 days now and flashes have decreased 50pc. Plus 100mg progesterone pill. Sleep is still bad. 😕
@@SPower-yl9ww Yes well I think some of my system have decreased a lot with the cream in the two weeks I have used them, which I had a lot of symptom. .
How do we get involved in helping with these projects-i.e. for brain imaging, following Estrogen levels in brain through menopause? I'm peri and just starting the journey- I volunteer! :)
Question here as I'm just starting the process at 47. Not opposed to HRT - but I am not a massive fan of any synthetic hormone. Are there natural alternatives to HRT that have a similar effect? Not having major symptoms...just no period for 3 months and labs came back that I'm peri. Doc wants to put me on a low dose BCP but I'm not into that. What should I start with?
Todays HRT is considered body identical. Estradiol and micronized progesterone are not synthetic. This HRT is the gold standard of care to treat the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.

Isn't progesterone pro pregnancy? Why take it in meno? Confusing
@@JessicascleaningtipsThe main purpose is to oppose the estrogen that causes endometrial proliferation. It keeps the lining of the uterus thin to prevent endometrial cancer.
