    Allison and Ladies, I have reached my 3mo mark, time to call the Dr for my 2nd round. I still free great with loads of energy, workouts going great! I know our bodies must adjust as my only 2 cons was bloating and a tad of gain weight however my Dr warned me and stated it would level out which it has but towards 60days into. Im so happy I tried this therapy as it makes me feel like my 20s again, mind clarity, sex drive back, sleeping well, and able to just keep up with life. Remember our hormones protect our organs from disease into our golden years. Love it!

      Are you still doing the therapy ??
      I’m on my third round and feel great but it’s been a challenge to get rid of the lbs gained (6), and I’m constantly monitoring what I eat and also started to workout daily .. my doctor told me to take DIM plus vitamin A,D,K daily which I started after round 2.

    This was so helpful! I just got back from my OB’s appointment. I went in already suspecting hormonal imbalance as my husband went through low T a couple of years ago and the treatment quite literally changed his life in almost every area, so he is convinced my symptoms (low drive, irritability, lack of interest and motivation in my hobbies, signs of depression, and lately irregular periods) are the result of it as well. I got my bloodwork done and waiting for results. My dr also uses BIOTE, so your video was very encouraging. Hoping to get answers and treatment soon. Thank you.

I am currently on an estrogen patch and a progesterone pill. My doctor told me yesterday that my testosterone is really low and wants to do the pellets. I’m a bit scared and worried about it, especially the price, but I just want to feel normal again.

Thank you for making this video, as I've been trying to hear someone say if it helped in the bedroom area or not. Your the first person to say anything about your sex life!

    I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m 51 years old and in full-blown menopause (it’s been about a year and a half since I’ve had a period). My libido isn’t an issue at all. I’ve always had a pretty healthy sex drive. And I’ve had those “man hairs” that I’ve had to pluck from my chin since I was in my 30’s. But I feel both physically & mentally horrible 90% of the time. I have NO energy. And I mean NONE. I’ve gained a ton of weight in my mid-section & no matter what I do, I can’t lose the weight. I’m depressed and I have horrible anxiety. Those are the most aggravating symptoms. Then there are other symptoms that are not quite as aggravating like insomnia, night sweats, irritability, brain fog, inability to focus or concentrate on anything, etc. but they’re still a pain. I feel like my testosterone levels are probably good, but based on the weight gain alone, I’m thinking my estrogen levels are probably pretty low to non-existent. I have a couple of high school friends that have had a lot of success with Biote and they highly recommend it, but I’m concerned about safety and side effects. I’ve done some online research, but I’m wondering if any ladies who have experience with Biote can provide a little more insight? I have a thyroid disorder called Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism, and I take Synthroid to replace the thyroxin that my thyroid gland doesn’t produce, and I also have Crohn’s Disease. Both are auto-immune disorders. So I’m not sure if I would even be a good candidate for BHRT, and more specifically, Biote.

    • @tammygonzalez9313
      @tammygonzalez9313 ปีที่แล้ว +1

Its so hard living with these debilitating things; but I have been taking BHRT for years though. I'm 62 and I'm afraid to stop taking it. I don't want to feel worse! I take troche form (dissolves in my mouth).

    Hi Alison.
    I’m from the Uk and yesterday I saw my gynaecologist and he’s finally mentioned these pellets. I’d never even heard of them until yesterday. But after watching this I’m so much more hopeful that I can sort myself out.
    I had a hysterectomy at 36 and found I had uterine cancer so had to have my ovaries removed. The menopause has been absolutely horrendous. I feel like 90 years old and everything hurts. The hrt itself hasn’t made much of a difference I don’t think but the drive you’re talking about is totally lacking and it’s affecting my marriage. I just have zero interest. Like nothing, it’s a really problem.
    Today I had the blood tests to find out my levels so I pray they do try these pellets.
    Life sure is a struggle at the moment.
    Really enjoyed your video. Everything you described sounds like myself.
    Fingers and toes crossed I get the results you have.
    Ps chin hairs!! 😂 yes I already have them. I’m guessing I may get more then haha.

      You’re absolutely right. I’m a woman in my 40’s who had a car accident with a bad TBI. I went to dozens of doctors with different specializations and tons of therapy but never felt like my old, high-functioning, motivated, driven and successful self again. I became a zombie. I stumbled upon dr. Gordon’s work with Veterans and learned how hormonal treatment helped them recover from the symptoms of TBI and PTSD. I brought this up to top doctors I was seeing at Stanford and they dismissed the idea… but it was the only thing that really made a difference for me other the hyperbaric oxygen therapy (which they also dismissed). I bet there’s no money exchange involved in these therapies.

I have the same symptoms you described as to 0 interest. My regular doctor prescribed Premerin, but I didn't fill script because of all the side effects and I didn't like the idea of "one size fits all" prescription. No blood work to see just what I needed as far as hormone replacement. The only blood work done was regular panel for general health and thyroid. I am anxious to get back to "normal" and get some more energy and "drive." I appreciate your video explaining everything and although nervous about the procedure I am looking forward to it.

    Update on my pellet is that my T is 250. Way too high. I’m having chest pains and anxiety. Not a fun ride! The pellets do not deliver a regular amount each day! That’s what I thought right but no! They give you a huge dose to last the whole 3 months. And it slowly tapers down. The reason you start growing hair is that it’s way too high. That’s dangerous on the heart and blood pressure. I was a big advocate for this but I’m really not doing well right now and I’m stuck like this for months!!!!!!
