These two women are changing the landscape of menopause treatment. What a time to be alive as a peri-menopausal woman! 🎉 Thank you for being trailblazers and fighting for women.
That's where I saw her, too! I just bought her book, and am learning so much. As a new health &wellness coach, and a grower, I'm brainstorming ways to bring this information and for support, to more women. Btw, I volunteered for one of her studies immediately after (tbh honest before) watching to the end of that interview.
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!
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. 👏👸🏻👸🏻
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 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.
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! ❤😊❤😊

Peri and Menopause are life altering brain altering 🤯 It's not old age 👀 it's estrogen deficiency that is wreaking havoc on meno brains to think clearly 😓
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.

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. ❤
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 !❤
I have been in anticipation of this interview since I finished reading "The Menopause Brain" and "The New Menopause." My 2 favorite women doctors!!! 🤗👏👏👏
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 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 just forwarded this video to my nurse practitioner friend who is also a primary care practitioner. One of the reasons I haven't gone to her as my nurse practitioner is because I'm on HRT and I will stop it when they pry my cold dead fingers from around my progesterone bottle. (I use patches for estrogen) I have gone to three different OB women doctors who refused to order this for me because I have post cervical cancer related to HPV. When they took my ovaries out 15 years ago I had no hormones and no reason to live, depression, I kept thinking it was chemo brain... Finally got my hormones ordered years later than absolutely came back to life
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
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 you to you two brilliant women, out there advocating, researching, and educating the world on this topic! The work you are doing will change the world for the better!! Deepest gratitude for you both!!!
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.
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.
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 🙌
I'm so excited! I went to my blind library to find Dr. Lisa Moscone's book and it was there!! I'm so excited because I am 51 almost 52 and definitely going through perimenopause. Dealing with so many symptoms that sometimes I feel I'm crazy on top of what I already have to deal with🥹
Amazing! So much hope for the younger generations who have yet to come to this phase of life! As I am watching this and tracking my hot flashes on my phone for my upcoming appointment to talk about HRT with my provider... Thankful for my young nieces who may have so many more options than I have had. Thank you for your persistence and work in this area.
Thank you so much for this. Loved seeing you too together. I would love to see this or a different interview in better quality. Thank you again for all that you do!!!!
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.
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.
Thank you Dr Haver and Dr Mosconi! A little technical improvement note for video call interviews is turning off the microphone on Dr. Haver’s side because any small sound cuts off the other side’s sound.
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 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 ❤
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 👍
@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.
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.
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. 😢
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! 💕
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.
If everything she is saying true then Dr.Lisa really deserves noble prize for her discovery about women's brain during Menopause which is quite different than Man and other female animals. I wish Indian women were like her.
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
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.❤
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. ~ XO Community Support Team
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
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.

Hello! I follow you everywhere ! Question? I just started HRT for menopause and I think I have progesterone intolerance (I take it orally at night every night ) 125 mg from a compounding pharmacy and I feel so much worse. Worse insomnia , worse hot flashes, depression and bloating Would a progesterone cream or topical be better? I need to talk to my provider but it’s the weekend and I’ve been miserable so I was thinking of stopping the progesterone until I can get this figured out. I heard you could buy the topical creams over the counter but I’m just not sure what to do. 😞
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.
I really wish there were content to help women in post menopause who have had ER positive breast cancer. Mine was barely stage 1 five years ago. Radiation and chemo for “protection” of potential future cancer. All the Cognitive and neuro potentials of not having HRT as I age scares the living Hell out of me.
There is a detailed response about this topic (with specific resources for support and the latest research) in a comment further down. It’s from Dr. Haver’s team, replying to @stephaniealmeida6157. All the best on your continuing journey to health!

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
How do I know if my hrt estradiol dose is enough? Is it my symptoms? Adding testosterone has helped so much! I don’t need as much thyroid medication, might even drop it eventually all together if blood work will show what I am feeling.
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!

@@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.
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.
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 🙌
I'm so excited! I went to my blind library to find Dr. Lisa Moscone's book and it was there!! I'm so excited because I am 51 almost 52 and definitely going through perimenopause. Dealing with so many symptoms that sometimes I feel I'm crazy on top of what I already have to deal with🥹
Two of my favourite people together! Thank you Dr.Mary Claire Haver for this interview!❤❤
You are both amazing. Thank you so much for the work you do. I started HRT because of Dr Haver's teachings. So grateful
Amazing! So much hope for the younger generations who have yet to come to this phase of life! As I am watching this and tracking my hot flashes on my phone for my upcoming appointment to talk about HRT with my provider... Thankful for my young nieces who may have so many more options than I have had. Thank you for your persistence and work in this area.
These are my two favorite persons in life now! Bravo for bringing Dr Mosconi, absolutely genius
Thank goodness for you amazing Drs ❤
Oh my gosh, I am crying with joy. This is so exciting and incredible!
Thank you Thank you Thank you ❤❤❤
I wish the sound wasn't cutting out so much when Dr. Mosconi was speaking. Thank you for the vid either way.
Thank you so much for this. Loved seeing you too together. I would love to see this or a different interview in better quality. Thank you again for all that you do!!!!
Thank you for your persistence!
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 😃
Huge huge thank you both for your work❤
I have been waiting for you two to do a podcast! ❤❤
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.
WOW! Thank you!!!!!!!!!! I intuitively always felt hormone balance is the key to healing many diseases.
This is the video I’ve been waiting for! Please do more videos together.
Downloaded!! Thank you so much both of you for doing this work. 🙏🏻💕❤️
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.
Wow, I am in tears. Finally, there's a research about menopause brain.
What an exciting conversation between my two favorite advocates for women's health!
Thank you Dr Haver and Dr Mosconi! A little technical improvement note for video call interviews is turning off the microphone on Dr. Haver’s side because any small sound cuts off the other side’s sound.
Thank you both for spear heading support for women's health!
Two of my favorite people ❤
Oh this gives me hope. Now, I must cry.
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 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 ❤
You both are rock stars! Thank you both for everything you do for us🙏 I am forever grateful.much love❤️Tunde
Thank you! Another evidenced based reason to take HRT.
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.
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.
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. 😢
Thank God there are women like you. I know we would be much further ahead
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! 💕
🎉🤗🧠 GIVE ME ALL THAT MAGICAL ESTROGEN!!!💃🏼🥰
Wonderful, I just downloaded the study!
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!
Wow, that was a great discussion, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful share, thank you Ladies ❤
Thank you Dr Lisa! Thank you ❤for
so happy that you are taking about the menopause told i can’t have it because of my age
I'm almost 70, and on hrt for 10 years, you can use my brain
Downloaded the study! ❤
Thank you!!! This is amazing 😮
Love this so much!!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
It would be interesting to know if multiple pregnancies (where hormones go so high) also help in prevention of dementia, heart attack, etc
Omg great information ❤
Fantastic new info. Thank you. just an FYI sound going in/out, unfortunately.
If everything she is saying true then Dr.Lisa really deserves noble prize for her discovery about women's brain during Menopause which is quite different than Man and other female animals.
I wish Indian women were like her.
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
Downloaded!
Thank you both my job thinks that I am crazy. Thank you for this knowledge
This is so exciting.🎉🎉
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 ❤️
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.

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. ❤

Thanks from Chile girls!
Thank you Drs Haven and Mosconi! Where can I sign up to contribute to Dr Mosconi’s studies?
Hello! I follow you everywhere ! Question? I just started HRT for menopause and I think I have progesterone intolerance (I take it orally at night every night ) 125 mg from a compounding pharmacy and I feel so much worse. Worse insomnia , worse hot flashes, depression and bloating
Would a progesterone cream or topical be better? I need to talk to my provider but it’s the weekend and I’ve been miserable so I was thinking of stopping the progesterone until I can get this figured out. I heard you could buy the topical creams over the counter but I’m just not sure what to do. 😞
Absolutely Noble Prize!
amazing and super interesting content but I missed a lot of what was said due to the sound quality.
My two favourites❤
Finally! These two together!!
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.
Same! How exciting to be on the doorstep of all the future studies
I really wish there were content to help women in post menopause who have had ER positive breast cancer. Mine was barely stage 1 five years ago. Radiation and chemo for “protection” of potential future cancer.
All the Cognitive and neuro potentials of not having HRT as I age scares the living Hell out of me.
There is a detailed response about this topic (with specific resources for support and the latest research) in a comment further down. It’s from Dr. Haver’s team, replying to @stephaniealmeida6157. All the best on your continuing journey to health!
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.

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
How do I know if my hrt estradiol dose is enough? Is it my symptoms?
Adding testosterone has helped so much! I don’t need as much thyroid medication, might even drop it eventually all together if blood work will show what I am feeling.
