Hi Claudia, loved this video! However, it should be made clear that pharmaceutical estradiol can also be bioidentical, i.e. identical to what our own body makes. People are erroneously using the term "bioidentical" for "compounded." There is bioidentical compounded estradiol and also bioidentical pharmaceutical estradiol. It is important for women to realize that pharmaceutical estradiol is incredibly safe and much more strictly regulated than compounded. Thank you for your efforts to bring us this information - we will all win if we can continue to educate each other!
Hi Stefanie, thank you for being here and for your thoughtful comment. You are absolutely right and we should have specified a bit better, that bio identical does not mean compounded and that pharmaceutical estradiol can also be bio identical. I will highlight your comment so it is better visible to those who need this information. Thank you again, I hope you are having a wonderful day xx
Dr. Mathis saved my life and marriage. He is a wonderful doctor and person. It’s been a journey still not quite there I think one more tweak and we’ll be there. But feeling 1000% better. Thank you Claudia, as I would not have met this incredible man if not for you!
Janet I am so very happy to hear that you are doing so much better!!! Yes, Dr Mathis is quite the life saver, so glad he was able to help you Lots of love xx
Thank you so much for addressing such a important topic. I had a complete hysterectomy in October with both ovaries removed as well. I reached out to Dr Mathis and he was so kind. Dr Mathis practices the Wiley protocol using compounded BHRT creams which increase throughout the month to mimic a woman’s natural monthly cycle. With having a complete hysterectomy I didn’t want the massive swings in hormones and prefer a daily consistent dose. I was able to find an amazing local doctor that an advocate of BHRT for all women I’m now on the E patch and progesterone pill and feeling absolutely incredible
I am so glad that you found someone who was able to help you and that you are feeling incredible! Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself and encouraging other women to take care of themselves and find the help they deserve x
Thank you Claudia & Dr. Mathis! This was great. I just started back on HRT , including vaginal cream testosterone, at age 70 after taking a few years off. I wish I’d asked my gyn to get my labs done first. Would love to see more interviews like this one! I was on sublingual bioid hormones before and found them to be much easier than the patch, caps and cream I’m on now.
Hi Lara, I am happy you are here and glad to hear you went back on HRT. I hope what you are on will be beneficial to you, please keep us posted. I actually have a couple more videos with Dr Mathis on my channel and recently I made one with Dr Hunter you might also enjoy. But I will def. have both of them back. Have a wonderful day xx
I would love to have Dr. Mathis as my doctor. So intuitive. He IS the integrative physician. We need more of them. He should start an online service for other doctors or healthcare professionals.
He could direct others who have the education and ability to be the kind of doctor he is. That would be a service. Since we can’t clone him, this is the next best thing.
This interview with Dr. Mathis is my favourite. I am on bio identical hormones and it was just so reassuring to hear that I am on the right path. My Dr. and I are still figuring out the best dose for me but I am feeling better. I am on the static dose but may ask my Dr. about the rhythmic protocol. Not sure at 65 I want a cycle again though lol. Everything he said made so much sense. Thanks for helping so many of us women get the answers we need and deserve! 💕
Hi Debbie, I am glad this was helpful. And I am so glad to hear you found a doctor who is willing to work with you and you are feeling better. If you do not want a cycle, as Dr Mathis said, static is ok. I hope you and your doctor will find the right dose for you so you can feel fantastic Lots of love xx
I m The continuos dose but my uterus mi it is too thick and my tested oestrogen levels too high. I m 61 and on it for osteoporosis prevention. My doctor told me to stop but I don’t want to do. I don’t get enough exercise to prevent osteoporosis I’ve got a disability and then another one referred me to the menopause clinic but there is a five month wait so I’m concerned I have to carry on with an ever increasing lining which can lead to complications - I’ve already had a surgery for a polyp and I have multiple fibroids and this is not good and yet no one within our national health service is taking responsibility for women’s hrt at the moment yes of the government policy coming out but meanwhile we’re still stuck in limbo self diagnosing and self-medicating on the Internet
@@gayedavies2797 I am so sorry Gaye! I would be scared to stop the estogen as well and I do not think that is the answer. You might benefit from rhythmic dosing so that your uterus lining can shed. Why don't you call Dr Mathis and talk to him. He will listen and guide you. His information is below this video. Please keep me posted xx
hello, would you mind sharing your doctor's info with me? I would consider televisit at this point. I'm still searching for a doctor and I am in NJ area. Thank you!
Just had my first meeting with Dr.Mathis ! Such a generous dr. I could really ask all my questions, he explained everything, was very open and warm. I am so grateful to have him on my team ! Thank you Claudia for introducing me to him. XXX
I am so happy to hear you reached out to Dr Bob! And I agree, he is extremely generous. I miss you and really hope we can find the time to connect very soon. Lots of love xx
Great Q & A with the Dr. I went through menopause abnormally young, at age 39, was done. I tried every form, when I could find a doctor to give me HRT. For the first 2 years they said it was stress, and I was too young. Long story short, after trying patches, creams, static and rhythm, pills, injections, they all stopped working to some extent. After 17 years of trying and switching protocols, I tried pellets. It took me one insert to realize many doctors overdose testosterone, but the last 9+ years have been the best I have felt. It took a while to find a doctor to listen and allow me to say these are the levels I feel my best at. I do not get anywhere the dose of testosterone most do, I do not want the side effects. I also had a hysterectomy at age 59, so do not cycle per say. I cycle every 4 months, since with my pellets, it increases my E, then I let it drop to a lower level before I get my new dose. So glad you asked all those questions, so many woman are suffering needlessly due to the WHI study, that was so misrepresented, interpreted and never really completed. At age 66 I feel better than I did at age 46, and my bone density show my bones are at the top of the chart for my age group. In my mid 40's they were in the danger zone. I could go on why HRT is so important, but the fear of cancer has been instilled in so many, they go on suffering.
Hi Nancy, thank you so much for sharing a bit or your HRT journey with us. I am very glad you found a protocol that works for you and a doctor willing to listen and work with you. That is the most important thing! So happy to hear you are feeling better now than in your 40's. I know your comment will give many women hope, thank you . Wishing you a wonderful day xx
@@encinosarah I test estradiol and FSH. I like FSH at 2 to 4. Estradiol can be 200 to 350 for my FSH to be in that range. It depends on my stress level, and what I have going on in my life.
@@encinosarah pg/ml I have gone as low as 150 pg/ml but was not as alert, had fatigue and brain fog. go by your FSH, test that, that is your bodies fuel gauge for E. The higher the more your body needs E.
What a Fantastic Doctor and great human being. His compassion, knowledge and care for the patient is something very rare to find these days. I used to live in the UK and the care for menopausal women has just started to take off. However, most women have to find a private doctor who charge quite a bit as the doctors who attend on the NHS know nothing,! I've livied in the middle east during the past 6 years and must say I'm very lucky to be living here during this transition. I had an amazing doctors in Bahrain who's been on HRT for 30 years. In Qatar they are still in the stone age when it comes to HRT. I had to fly to Dubai for an appointment with a menopause doctors and also to get hold of HRT. Thanks God I now live in Dubai and there are good doctors and plenty of choices.
I am so glad you found someone who was willing and able to help you! Doctors like that are unfortunately still rare, and like you, I was very lucky to have found Dr Mathis x
This is wonderful information, I feel now that I really need to look into getting HRT. It's too bad that I am so far from Dr Mathis, I would love to become his patient. Thanks again Claudia for all this terrific information.
@@claudiaglows No, I found a naturopath here with 31 years experience. I liked her profile and used her. She definitely found some things wrong with my hormones. I feel good now. I have stopped using antidepressants and hope to get off of sleeping pills. She advised 1 thing at a time. I have ordered a machine that helps to reprogram the thinking for depression and sleep. I will let you know how that goes.
@@susanyakus7364 I am so glad you found someone that is able to help you and that you are feeling better!! I think one thing at a time is a very smart approach. Yes, please keep me posted on the machine, you made me quite curious :) xx
Hi, Claudia. 🤗 Thank you very much for all the interviews you did with dr. Mathis. 🙏 I've learned a lot and I can't wait to share all of that to my mum.
@@claudiaglows Aww... Thank you for the reply, Claudia. 🙂 And you remembered my name... Whoaaa... Believe me, you made my day. 🤗 My mum will benefit from it, but only if she will be open-minded. I do hope she will. 🙏🏻 Have a refreshing day, Claudia. 😁
@@iis.1989 You are a sweetheart, Sorina! I am really happy you are part of my little TH-cam family. And I hope your mom will be openminded. Please keep me posted Lots of love xx
This is why lab work is so helpful. My NP fully support periodic testing. My HMO GYN wants to wait 2 years. That’s insane. Schools need to teach kids how to advocate for healthcare for yourself and your friends.
Hi Marcia, I am glad you found an NP who prescribes and believes in regular bloodwork I agree, kids should be thought how advocate for healthcare for themselves x
I was one of those pellet people, who lost their hair. I much prefer bioidentical hormones. Women just really need to understand how important they are to their health. Don't procrastinate. Just do it! Hi beautiful Claudia!
Hi Susan, I am sorry to hear you had a bad experience with pellets. It sounds like you are doing much better now? You are so right, do not procrastinate, we have only this one life to life, as far as we know ;) Thank you for being here, I hope you are having a great day xx
@@susanyakus7364Hi Susan can I please ask you regarding your hairloss was it the testosterone that was the reason you lost your hair or did it trigger an underlying predisposition of androgenic alopecia..As this is what I'm trying to figure out, but can not get an answer anywhere 😢
Hello Claudia!!! Thank you for sharing Dr. Mathis. He is amazing!! He is so passionate about helping women feel better. And thanks to him I finally feel better. Thank you again Claudia.!
I am so happy to hear that you are doing better!! Thank you for letting me know and thank you for your kind words Lots of love to you, please continue to keep me posted xx
I have spent the last 4 months in tears trying to get answers as I m not well on my hormones. I finally got a blood test and have no one to check it with me. Why have doctors who don’t want to do their jobs ❤
Hi Gaye, I am so very sorry to hear you are struggling. However I am glad you had a blood test. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr Mathis so he can go over it with you. If I can help with anything, my email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com Please know that there is hope and that you are not alone xx
Hi dear Claudia, I was so happy to see a notification about your new video. This was an amazing interview. Dr Mathis seems not only very knowledgeable but also kind, caring and considerate. I've had my share of troubles with hormones which mostly involved lack of menstruation, I have visited multiple doctors but unfortunately none of them could understand what is causing it and eventually I gave up. Thank you so much for this video, it gave me a lot of hope. Sending warmest wishes your way! xx
Hello sweet Agata, I am very sorry to hear that you have not gotten the help you need and deserve. Please do not give up. You can call Dr Mathis anytime. As you said, he is very caring and I am sure he can help you figure out what is going on. Sending a big hug your way xx
Hi Claudia I’m gonna get to the point snd for once keep it short what an informative video . Thank you so much for these beautiful videos your so different from everyone else your topics are very informative . Luv u girl ❤️❤️
Hi La Rayne, I am glad this was helpful. Yes, you can do an online or phone consultation with Dr Mathis, give hime a call, his info is in the description box. And please let me know if I can help with anything xx
@@claudiaglowsHi Claudia I've just found your channel & it's been so helpful..Can I ask you please you may know or not but its worth a try . As I've asked my general Doctor my menupause specialist and a Dermatologist who specialises in hair scalp conditions etc & they can not answer me 😢 I have just turned 54yrs on BHRT 3yrs & still not my best self ..I've had so much tweaking with doses it has made things worse I believe. I belive too high of estrogen of 600 gave me friboids which eventually made me have bleeds every 2weeks after no period for 5yrs ...I then had to go on higher progesterone 200mg static to control bleeding . It didn't stop the bleeding. I reduced my estrogen slowly & now my bleeding has stopped hopefully forever. I was on testosterone gel but feel my hair was thinning I raised it with menupause specialist she said my testosterone was not high ..my hair continues to get worse I felt emotionally exhausted & stressed & stopped testosterone..I did feel the benefits of it but too scared for my hair. Off it now 9mths . I developed TE due to the stress of bleeding for 7mths very 2wks & losing my hair & I feel all the tweaking up & down of hormones . I've had to start using minoxidil as the hair shedding triggered androgenic alopecia.. My hair was one long & thick & now its dry brittle fragile and breaks very easily no mater what I do.. I'm.on 50mg estrogen gel and 200mg of progesterone but feel this is not right either. Specialist wants me to stay on higher progesterone for awhile because of the bleeding I had .. I don't know what to do any more I feel sorry for my husband he has had a tough time watching me be so sad & not enjoying life with zero libido 😢 ..There I nobody I can get the answers I need .. Any advise would be appreciated I know your not a doctor but I am running out of options..thank you Claudia xx
I understand the menopause struggle Claudia. The doctors advice will sadly meet an arrogant brick wall in Canadaa. Inadequate single payer health care and very few options for menopause support. . Canadiann women are lucky to even find a basic family doctor. The good understanding and patient ones are even more rare.
Hi, thank you for being here. I am sorry to hear that women in Canada are not being helped. It really makes me mad. Are there any online sources you can take advantage of?
Check out the North American Menopause Society. Under the 'For Women' tab there is a tab that says 'Find a Menopause Practitioner' and they list doctors in Canada that are certified by them. Maybe one of those doctors can help. However, I completely agree with you that finding a family doctor in Canada is VERY difficult.
Unfortunately many menopause doctors don't know much about the bioidentical HRT. All their say "you're normal for your age" very frustrating. if any one knows a doctor in Canada please share
All this for some reason worries me. I have struggled with pcos for years, taking the wrong medication, until someone actually helped me. I hope that when my time cones for menopause i will find someone to help me. Thank you Claudia for all this information!! Love you!!!
Hi beautiful, it can def. be worrisome, but with the right doctor you will hopefully get the help you need, if you need it. I am sending you a big hug and hope you and your new fur baby are happy xo
Hi Claudia ! That was a fantastic interview with Dr. Mathis , I learned so much and even though I’m way into post menopause I feel I should get my hormones checked out . I mentioned to you before on this subject that my Dr did not recommend hormone replacement , she said even with bio identical a hormone is a hormone , I never new it does not cause cancer . Perhaps because it’s the Cleveland clinic and they have their reasons I don’t know, like Dr Mathis said they just want to treat you with pills . I really would like to check my levels out , I’m not sure wether to talk to someone here , It might be difficult to correspond with Dr Mathis back and forth since he is so far . I know you started with him when you lived in Cali. Also I notice you use extra soy ; tofu , soy lecithin etc . Just wondering Why do you need more estrogen when your already level ? Great topic - have a wonderful week beautiful
Hi Sue, I am glad this was helpful. Your doctor at the clinic sounds like he just has not done his homework, like so many of them. Cleveland is not that far from CA, and you can always give Dr Mathis a call. I actually lived in Monterey at the time I saw him and he is in Santa Barbara, so it was a 6 hour car ride away, but he is so great about doing so many things over the phone. Or maybe he can refer you to a college in Ohio who works similarly. You know, I use soy not for the extra estrogen, but because I love the taste and I am vegan. But I should probably consume a bit less of it ;) I hope you are having a wonderful week, thank you for being here xx
@@claudiaglows That is a great idea to ask him if he has a college close by me here in Florida , we have Cleveland clinics here lol. Have a great week 🌺
Hello...pretty Claudia 🙋♀️ My cardiologist and gynecologist stated I wasn't a good candidate for the hormone replacements because I'm a heart patient 😔 But I didn't listen to them 🙄 and let this doctor inject the HRT in my butt 😳 and got a staphylococcus infection...that was 3yrs ago...but I'm still open to listening or even talking to this wonder man..🙏 I don't know if it's normal to feel sad or have no energy at all everyday...Plus losing my daughter...I so much admire you for the hard work you are trying to do..and I do not want sympathy I want help Not Pills...pills...that's all my doctors give me...thank you for keeping it real..🥺🙏😇🤍🤎
Hello sweet Marlene, I am sorry to hear you had to go through such an ordeal with the hormone doctor. I would say using hormones can protect your heart, so maybe reach out to Dr Mathis and see if he can help you. I think after losing your daughter feeling sad and low energy is to be expected, but a lot of it can also be coming from the lack of hormones Please let me know if I can help with anything. Sending lots of love your way, thank you for your kind words xx
Claudia - Just wanted to let you know that I'm now a registered patient of Dr. Bob. ~ What a delightful man! 😀 I will be Zooming with him in a couple of days. Is he aware that you are on Methylene Blue? I'm waiting to resume MB once I'm up & running on the hormones, as I'm thinking that MB may be more than my bodily systems can handle right now - due to very weak hormonal responses/capacities. Also, do you take DHEA? Aloha 🌴
I have never been tested for hormones and what they are doing but been on HRT since 2011. And three different types having stopped completly Easter 2022 due to the painful side effect but suffering bloating and weight gain also. After watching this though think another visit is much needed.
Hello, Claudia! I think i watched the videos in which you interviewed Dr Mathis more than 5 times each. I just love listening to him and learning a lot, also. One question for you, though: have you experienced hair loss at the beginning of the Hrt? Or have you ever experienced hair loss/ shedding with any other type of Hrt you were on? I'm at a loss here, i started static/ continuous hrt 3 months ago and almost immediately ( after 2 weeks) my hair started shedding like crazy, i lost half of my volume since october, and it doesn't seem to want to stop any of these days....i don't know what to do. .. Thanks in advance, dear Claudia!
Hi, I am so sorry you are struggling with hair loss. I experienced extreme hair loss when I was not on HRT or on the wrong one. Have you tested your hormones since you have been on your HRT? If not, I would suggest to do so to make sure you are taking the right amounts. If your doctor does not want to prescribe a hormone test, you can order one yourself. I would test estradiol, progesterone and testosterone. Please keep me posted. If I can help with anything else, my email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com x
@@claudiaglows thank you so much for your suggestions and for your prompt answer! I was actually planning to test my estrogen at the end of this month. Before starting this Hrt, my estrogen level was less than 5!!!! I am 43.
Hi, yes Estradiol levels. He did say it is a good idea to also check your estrone here and there, but when he talked about the levels needing to be over a 100 for a woman to feel good he meant estradiol. Glad this was helpful x
Dear Claudia, Thank you so much for this interview. Would you mind explaining what is exactly rhythmic HRT? Like estrogen for day 1-25 of the month and progesterone from day 13-25? Etc? Like mimicking menstrual cycle even you are postmenoase already?
Hi Claudia, I missed this video when it came out, so I’m hoping you’ll still see my question 🤞 I am on combined oral hrt and have been so for 10 years or so. I keep trying to swap to a more natural form of progesterone, but in the UK, we have only Utrogestan in 100mg capsules and I just can’t get on with them - they seem to make me nauseous and my mood plummets drastically. I’m assuming it’s because the dose is way too high, or I’m progesterone intolerant. Do you actually have your progesterone component orally, or have you been able to access a progesterone that can be absorbed through the skin? Also, as I am already on hrt, but would really like to check my hormone levels to see if I’m achieving the optimal concentrations, would it be better to test my levels after my daily dose or before? Sorry for long winded post and TIA 🙂
Hi Tricia, I am sorry to hear you are struggling with the progesterone. You are not the only one though, quite a few women have the same problem. I use all my hormones in compounded, transdermal form and I use the progesterone only for 14 days of the months. So maybe you could get a progesterone cream, I know you can get that in the UK, and use that instead morning and night to see if you do better on it. It will be much easier to adjust the dose that way as well. If you can not get a prescription for one, you can get one on line. As far as testing your hormones, I would test first thing in the morning and then take the hormones after the test. I hope this helps. If I can help further please do not hesitate to reach out. My email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com And please keep me posted xx
Hi Claudia I emailed with you plenty of times. After 15 years creams quit working. My sweet spot with estrogen was always 100. I got as low as 8. Doctor switched me to Dotti patch and wow I finally got the boob soreness, deep sleep etc only I have put on 7lbs! Waiting for blood results to come in but likely I need to cut back on Estradiol patch. I honestly will be shocked if it is outrageously high. Everyone is different and has sweet spots but yes weight gain does happen for some on Estradiol. I’m off the patch for now and working my ass off harder to get this 7lbs off!
Hi Gorgeous! I hope you're doing GREAT and have been on wonderful adventures!! Dr. Mathis was sent from heaven above! So glad I waited to watch while having a quiet morning. I learned a great deal and he made such wonderful points! I was under the assumption that after Menopause, women have no estrogen or very little. I've never had my levels tested, unfortunately, and do use an over the counter bioidentical estradiol and progesterone cream (from time to time) and hope I've been using them correctly. I would be interested in his opinions on brain, bone and heart health in regards to estrogen requirements. Wonderful seeing you and so grateful for this education and you! Take wonderful care, xo
Hi gorgeous, I am glad you enjoyed this. Yes, Dr Mathis was def. send from heaven, he is so incredibly passionate about this and it really shows. If you ever wander if you are doing things right with your hormones, you can always give him a call, he will be able to guide you. And what a great question regarding brain, heart and bone health. I know Dr Mathis will say that estrogen is crucial for all of them, but I will ask him in detail about this in the next video. I hope you are well and are having some fun adventures as well. Today is a holiday here, French independence day, so lots of concerts in the park. But because of the heat (it is 100F) they canceled the fireworks Sending a big hug your way xo
@@claudiaglows Happy Holiday and sounds so festive. Our area was a little too enthusiastic with the fireworks and my poor dog was in a panic. I look so forward to your next video with Dr. Mathis! He is generous with his time! We rented a cabin for a couple of days near the beach at the end of the month. I've been preoccupied and concerned for my Grandmother who is in a rehab center now. I'm trying to stay positive. Blessings and Hugs and love our chats! xo
@@christinemack2153 Sam hates fireworks as well and I am glad we will not have any. I hope your grandma will recover very soon and you will be able to enjoy your cottage on the beach, that sounds wonderful Lots of love xx
Could the lovely doctor talk about cyclical HRT progesterone eg. utrogestan vaginally & different forms of transdermal oestrogen eg. estradot or oestrogel thank you so much for this video Clau
Hi Niamh, that is a great subject and I can def. ask Dr Mathis if he could talk about it. I hope you are doing well. I am still wanting to do that phone call with you, so whenever you are ready xx
hEY cLAUDIA! i am in France and meeting my doctor (gyn) in 1 month! Excited to ask him about HRT thanks to you! (I might go the standard HRT road though!).... such a pitty I am not closer to Paris!

What do you think about Estriol ? I’m on Estradiol patches .1 mg. every few days…..my estrogen blood work this week was low….38.8, I was doing progesterone at nite, a pill , then put cream on in morning., & you said progesterone can cut estrogen. I’m thinking of adding Estrodiol cream each day to increase my estrogen levels. Please advise……..

Hi Claudia what an amazing interview🙌🙌🙌 You and the doctor did such an amazing job . I never see video more explaining than this. I just hope i am from that little percent group, you would never need it 😜 but if i ever need , i am going to your doctor. You know after last September my sickness and exhaustion, my periods stopped, and a few months ago, i felt little warm sometime coming up on me, considering i always cold. So i got maca capsules. I always took powder, but its not water soluble, so unless i have fresh juice or smoothie , i wouldnt take that every day. So started every day 2 capsules, and maybe 7-10 days, the warmness stop, i am again cold 🙏😅😝 So happy and this week some bleeding , little but something going on. So i am happy, not yet 😅 but i already spoke to my primary care dr and she order test to measure my hormone levels. I havent gotten yet, but i probably need to start checking to make sure that i am in the norms. I think once my body recovered, gained back a little weight, my body recovered from the trauma so my hair are back normal🙌💃 made my hair appointment with new stylist , he is french. I purchased those hair products that you advised . I got all volume ones, and also that treatment with dropper. I like it . It does make hair more full. Thank you and have a blessed day🙏🧡
Hi Giedre, thank you for your lovely comment. I am glad this was helpful. I am also happy to hear you are recovering and yay, your hair is growing back. I hope that when the time comes where you feel you need some help, you reach out and get it. I am here to help with whatever I can How is your husband? Sending a big hug your way xx
@@claudiaglows thank you Claudia for asking he is good. We determined to get him walking any way necessary . Of course the best option would be med beds or energy chambers. Its promised to him, after all the work he done for humanitarian , for planet, for new Quantum system, that we all waiting for …. 🙏 🧡
Hello Claudia. This is amazing. Thank you. I’m going to schedule an appt with Dr Mathis. I’ve gone to so many doctors for HRT. Every time I take estrogen and progesterone I break out severally within a day. I’ve tried biodenical and everything under the sun. No doctor can figure it out. My current Dr doesn’t want me to take any hormones. I’m about to give up. Any ideas are welcome. Thank you.
Hi Lisa, I am glad you are here and please do not give up. I am not sure why you are breaking out from the hormones, but hopefully Dr Mathis will be able to give some inside and help you. When you call him, please be patient with him, he can be a bit scattered, but he is incredible and will do everything to try to help you. Please keep me posted and let me know if I can help with anything. x
I am so sorry you are struggling, but really happy you are here. If I can help with anything, please do not hesitate to reach out, my email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com x
Hi Claudia, I'e been watching almost all your videos, so informative. Might you be able to tell us how and at what brht doses you apply during a month's time to give me/us a general idea. I'm on hormone creams as well and at times I struggle getting a balance during the month and I'm starting to believe my body is fighting to be rhythmic yet the hormone cream I'm applying is not in a rhythmic way and, this is where my body is fighting me. I've been on brht for 3 yrs., went into menopause 5 yrs ago at 53 and it's been a roller coaster most of the time. My Dr had never mentioned going rhythmic, and watching your videos is the first I heard of it's benefits. I figured I would try it on my own and see how my body fairs doing it that way. Maybe if I try the rhythmic method I can become more balance doing it on my own and next yr when I see my Dr again I can let her know what I'm doing. If it doesn't work for me I'll go back to square one again. Any information I guess you are comfortable sharing hopefully might be of help for me. Thank you!
Hi Candee, thank you so much for being here and for your kind words. I am sorry to hear you are struggling and hopefully using a rhythmic method will be helpful to you. It is really hard to say though how much one should use and every cream has a different percentage of estrogen. Mine has a 1% concentration and on the program I am on, one starts out with 4 lines (which comes out to 4g) twice a day, then it increases to 6 on day 7 and to 8 on day 11 an 12, after that it falls to 2 stays there for a while until it goes back up to 4 x times a day. I know this sounds very confusing, so it would be best to have a doctor to guide you. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr Mathis. He can guide you and maybe even prescribe you the right dose. It is also important to test your levels after being on this dose for a while to make sure you are using enough but also not too much.

@@claudiaglows Thank you so much Claudia! I'd really like to reach out to you, thank you for helping me! With that alone, I feel I have some kind of hope to look forward to. 🤗
Hi beautiful Claudia I was just wondering why Dr. Mathis didn’t mention anything regarding estrogen Bioidentical patch and micronize progesterone he only talks about the compounded BHRT. Does he not think that the fda approved treatment is good? These are newer fda approved treatments. It’s not the old horses urine treatment. I am on .05 patch every week and 100 mg of micronice progesterone. And a pea size of 1 % testosterone gel. I have been on that for up to 5 months and I started bleeding so my doctor increased the dose of progesterone to 200 mg of progesterone and the bleeding stopped. But I have read that testosterone can convert to estrogen too. Do it could have made me have a period. But I’m curious now Doctor Mathis says too much progesterone can cancel out estrogen. I just don’t want the bleeding because my doctor right way said we need to do a biopsy. But she wants to wait until September to see if the new dose of progesterone stopped the bleeding. But now I’m worried that it might cancel out my 0.05 estrogen. Because in order for the heart bones and brain benefit and the moisture in the Vagina you Have be on at least 0.05 estrogen. Thank you so much Claudia.💓
Hi Maria, thank you for being here and sharing a bit about your HRT program. Dr Mathis actually did talk about patches, but the audio broke up right there. He does think that if someone does not want to deal with cremes, patches are a good replacement. As far as your estrogen the only way to know for sure if it is being canceled out or not enough is by your symptoms and to do a blood test. How are you feeling on the high amount of progesterone. As Dr Mathis said, for some women that can cause depression. I would say really pay attention to your symptoms and ask your doctor to get your hormone levels checked to see where you are. Please keep us posted. Also know that you can always reach out to Dr Mathis. Have a wonderful weekend
Enjoyed your video. I have taken Bi-est cream including progesterone and testosterone as well as oral DHEA for the past 8 years. Many of my symptoms have improved and I look 10 years younger. But I cannot control my weight and have ballooned to 40 lbs heavier. I am disappointed as I had thought that "balancing my hormones" would help with my weight!
Hi Diana, thank you for being here. I am glad to hear you feel better with balanced hormones. Yes, hormones def. help regulate weight. But we also lose muscle as we age, with is metabolically active. So if we do not replace this lost muscle, not only do we run the risk of injury and frailty, but also our metabolism slows down. So one of the best things we can do as aging women is to lift weights to counteract this lose of muscle mass
Hi Nicky, i 100% agree. Mine used to actually be somewhat covered by my insurance, but they just stopped covering it, which is a real bummer. I hope are having a wonderful day, thank you for being here xx
I think our healthcare system is very under funded . Have no health care I do take natural remedies for my hormones yes I have boy cot health care system till big overhaul Hopefully is breaking down due to covid 19 yes Need change You agree
Two years ago I asked my gp to check my hormone levels as I've been having hot flashes for 9 years. She refused saying "I won't even DISCUSS hormones with you. You're a smoker and taking hormones will only increase your chance of cancer." I wish I had the retort "if the hormones increase the risk of cancer why aren't pregnant women dropping dead with cancer?". I really need to contact Dr. Mathis for several issues that I am getting no help with in Ireland. I got a private test done and my estrogen levels are 44!!
Hi Emer, I am so sorry you have not been able to get the help and attention for your issues you deserve. With an estrogen of 44, you must be feeling lousy! Yes, call Dr Mathis and please let me know if I can help with anything Sending a big hug your way, thank you for being here xx
@@claudiaglows Feeling like rubbish and thinking I was going insane and constantly biting the heads of the kids for no reason. That messing about doesn't just affect the patient. It affects their families too. I'll keep you updated. God bless Dr. Mathis. All docs should be like him.
I am not your topical patient, I do a lot of research looking for ways to heal the body naturally. I am 80 take no medication. I asked my doctors to check my hormones and she dismissed me and said I don’t need it. I must have all my hormones in proper balance and I know I am not making progesterone. WHAT KIND OF TEST DO I TELL HER I need. Where can I get this cream. I live in Ontario CANADA.
Hi, I am sorry to hear you doctor is not helping. It is so frustrating. I am not sure about Canada, but in the US you can go online and get some of the tests without a script. You would want to test estradiol, progesterone and testosterone, maybe even your thyroid hormones to be on the safe side. I have another video coming up soon with another doctor, talking about hormones, that might be helpful as well As far as the creams, they are prescription, so you would have to work with a doctor on that x
Hello Claudia, if you begin on HRT while in perimenopause in a rhythmic fashion, how can you mark the end of your egg reserve without the absence of menstruation for 12 mos? Is there a test?
Hi, thank you for being here. That is a great question. I would think you might be able to do an ultra sound to see if there are any eggs left, but I am not certain. I can ask Dr Mathis the next time I talk to him xx
Thank you Claudia for such an informative talk. Can i ask when you say you vary your hormones do ypu mean having progesterone at days 14 to 28 or do you have different amounts of oestrogen and testosterone at different times in the month. Also can you ask dr matias if there are other hormones that should be looked at please?
Hi Noni, thank you for being here. Actually both, so the amount of all 3 hormones varies during the months, the estrogen rises until day 12, then falls, then rises again. The progesterone only day 14-18, but also in varying doses. Testosterone is somewhat static, but rises on day 13-17 and then falls again. I hope this makes sense. I know Dr Mathis would say adrenal hormones, so cortisol, maybe DHEA and then thyroid, but I will ask him just to make sure Wishing you a great day xx
Thank you so much for sharing it's great. Is there some sort of test for the dr to guide you on the amout of cream that you use on different days? How many kind of cream and do you wash it of ?
Hi, I am glad you are here. So you test your hormones first, then start using the cream and test until you have good numbers. I use estrogen, progesterone and testosterone cream, so 3 different creams, and not, they are not washed off. They are applied morning and night and kept on the skin I hope this helps x
Hi Claudia! Thank you very much for valuable info and introduction to us this wonderful doctor! I have a question for you: my mother, she is 73, no uterus, has all sorts of issues due to severe lack of estrogen. I know its way too late but from what you know now, do you think she can add gradually just a little bit of estrogen? patch? Thank you for your time!
Hi Lana, thank you so much for your kind comment! I am very sorry to hear that your mother is struggling. Good news, it is not too late. Dr Mathis says as long as HRT is started slowly, even women who have been without hormones for a long time can very much benefit from it. Does your mom have a doctor who is willing to listen and prescribe HRT? If not, please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr Mathis. His information is below this video. And if I can help with anything, my email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com Please keep me posted and give a warm hug to your mom from me xx
@@claudiaglows Thank very much Claudia! She lives in Ukraine and it will not be easy to convince a doctor there to start HRT at her age. But good thing is that she is a retired nurse and knows some doctors who might give her green light. But Dr Mathias might help me with the right HRT dosage( I am in my second year of life transition and started therapy one year after my period ended ) .I will call after I get my blood results soon. I live in Canada and our doctors here do not like to prescribe hormones or do regular follow ups and you really have to advocate for yourself:)))
Hi Claudia and Dr. Mathis! I live in Philadelphia and would love your advice on locating a GYN who takes insurance AND will prescribe bioidentical HRT. I'm having an impossible time -- most doctors who offer this service in my area aren't covered by insurance, but rather a cost-prohibitive fee for service. For now, I'm using (OTC) LifeFlo's BiEstro Care Body Cream and LifeFlo ProgestaCare, which are extremely helpful, but incomplete (from what I understand). Thank you. Also, this series you've done on hormones is so helpful -- I've shared it with many people.
Hi Seraphina, I am sorry to hear you are not getting the help you need. Calling your pharmacy might be helpful. You could ask them which doctors prescribe BioIdentical hormones. You would then still need to call their offices to see if they take insurance. Also working with Dr Mathis might be an option. He does not bill insurance, but you could try billing them yourself. And he is very, very affordable. If you want to call him, his info is in the description box. Lastly you could search on line for doctors in your area who do BioIdentical HRT or better yet call your insurance and see who they contract with in your area x
Hi there, I’m right outside of Philly. If you find a Dr in the area please share. As I have been looking for a couple years. Went to three gyn and no luck. I’m 55 and want to go on HRT. Good Luck!!
I like this ! I’m 8 months post total hysterectomy and now 3 weeks on HRT 2 pumps oestrogen gel …I’m upping it today & adding my Tostran 3 times per week . Very little help in Uk
Hi, I am so sorry to hear you are not getting much help in the UK. Can you go to the lab and pay for your own tests? Here in France I can do that, which makes things much easier. This way you could see where your levels are and then adjust from there. x
Hi Jessica, I am so glad you reached out to Dr Mathis, Yes, absolutely. If the pain is due to a lack of hormones it will def. help. Please keep me posted and let me know if I can help with anything xx
Hello! I’m 63 yo my last period was around 12yrs ago. My gynecologist from Kaiser insurance won’t prescribe me HRT she says it’s too late and more risk of heart attack and stroke due to very recent studies and research. I’ve had high cholesterol for about 10 yrs don’t know if that’s a problem for HRT. Other than that I’m pretty healthy no diabetes no high blood pressure etc. what are your thoughts?
Hi Elisabeth, I am sorry to hear you are not being listened to by your doctor. I can imagine that Kaiser does not want to pay for your prescription, so instead they feed you with misinformation. I just did another video with a Dr you might find very helpful. In it she also mentions that there is so much misinformation around HRT, and that the risks of developing disease is higher without hormones than with. It is hard to say if your high cholesterol is from a lack of hormones, but we do know that a lack of hormones causes all kinds of problems, including osteoporosis, heart disease, dementia.... I would say find another doctor. I know that is easier said than done, especially since your insurance will most likely not pay for it. Dr Mathis is very affordable and he will listen and guide you. Or you can reach out to Dr Hunter, whom I did the last video with. If I can help with anything, please do not hesitate to reach out, my email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com x
I love the videos but when he Talks about hormone levels and numbers, I wish he would say what unit of measurement he’s talking about so I can see if that’s what my tests were done in.
Hi Winny, Dr Mathis actually talked about estradiol patches, but unfortunately the audio went out right at that spot in the video. He did say that if someone does not want to do a rhythmic replacement or does not want to bother with creams, they are a good choice I hope you are having a great day xx
Claudia, this is so helpful again. Im taking lo loestrogen birth control pill to manage my menopause, but would like to switch to bioidentical pharmaceutical grade. Where can I find out more about what's available here in the USA. Im now on my third gyn doctor and still looking for the right one. ☹
Hi Annie, I am sorry to hear you have not been able to find the help you need. You can reach out to Dr Mathis and he can help you. Or you could call your local pharmacy to get a list of doctors who work with bio identical hormones Please let me know if I can help with anything xx
I was recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. I've been on estradiol patch for 7 years .025mg due to a hysterectomy. I wondered if HRT could cause colitis?? Sure enough there are studies that link colitis and hrt. What are your thoughts?
Hi, I am very sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with colitis. Honestly, I would have to really study the studies to give you an educated opinion, but Dr Mathis always says that estrogen is anti inflammatory. So it seems to reason that it would not cause inflammatory diseases. Do you also take progesterone or just the estrogen patch? x
@Claudia Glows hello Claudia, I had a hysterectomy and was told I didn't need progesterone. However, upon doing some research I found it was necessary. So, yes I did supplement with progesterone topical over the counter.
OMG -- 13:37 - 13:40...This. I've been suffering since 2018 and have not had a full night's rest since Dec 2018. Broken sleep is absolutely awful... and then I'm dealing with hot flashes during the day and flipping night sweats at night... good grief - I'm miserable.
I am so sorry to hear you are struggling, Denny. If you need help, please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr Mathis. And please let me know if I can help with anything xx
Hi Emmi, thank you for being here. That is a great question and unfortunately we do not have that much information as far as NMN and estrogen. Same is true for taking it with ovarian cysts. Personally, if they are benign, I would take NMN, but if there is a chance of them being malignant, I would wait until we have further research. But that is just me. From the research we have so far it seems that NMN can actually be beneficial in the fight of malignant growth, but I do think more specific research is needed xx
Do you know a good start dose for Climara patch? I'm 44 1 ovary with hysterectomy. Just got serum tested probably around cycle day 22 and it was 64 with FSH 26.4. I heard him say estrogen should be way higher? Dr prescribed a .1% Climara patch but I have but used it because wasn't sure if that was too high? Any help?
Hi, unfortunately that is a question you would have to ask a doctor since we are all different. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr Mathis, his info is below the video x
@@gypsygarner2413 You are very welcome. It is best to call Dr Mathis. Be patient with him, he can be a bit scattered, but calling him is much better than email Please keep me posted x
It never occurred to me and it has never been discussed with my provider about rhythmic use of Estradiol. Is this a protocol that is recommended for women who have not had a period for years? I do have a week of time during each month where I feel completely drained. The rest of the time, I feel pretty fantastic. I've known that it's hormonal but never understood why. It's been 6 years since I've had a period, (except for the adjustment period of dosing my Estradiol) and not sure I want to start back up but ... I'd like that low time of my cycle to be more energetic. Perhaps this is something to discuss with my provider with my next visit.
Hi, thank you for being here. Yes, you can absolutely do a rhythmic method even if you have not had a period. I did not have a period for years when I started. In that case we work with the new moon calendar. Maybe discuss with your provider and if he is not familiar you can reach out to Dr Mathis for guidance. Please keep me posted and let me know if I can help with anything xx
I’ve just started on the gel and progesterone - I’m only two weeks in but exhausted all the time and I’m gaining weight. Could I be on too high a dose?
So interesting! I wonder what hrt can do for perimenopause. I have an awful time the 2nd half of my cycle (hardly sleep, brain fog, awful mood) but feel great the first 2 weeks. I tried birth control last year and gained 30 lbs…and felt miserable all month! I went off after 5-6 months. At 46 I feel like there’s an estrogen issue, but not all month, just the last 10-12 days. Great video Claudia!
Hi Kelly, I am sorry to hear you are struggling for half of the months. It sounds to me like a progesterone issue, but you could give Dr Mathis a call and see what he thinks, or if you have a good doctor, see him/her and see if she can maybe run a blood test at that time of the months to see what is going on. Please keep me posted and let me know if I can help with anything. xx
I have scizofective bipolar and found biodentical micronised progesterone very effect. I wish I had been prescribed in my 30s to 40s but Internet education wasn't available then. My body needs more progesterone than the average female and at age 50 I was nearly gone to the psychiatric ward.
Hi Kathy, thank you so much for being here and for sharing a bit about yourself. I am really glad that progesterone is helping! It is a shame you did not find out sooner, but luckily we are learning more and more about hormones, which in turn can help so many women Glad to hear you are doing well now xx
I had understood progesterone goes up and down because it is being release in the second 1/2 of the cycle from the egg. Only estradiol is released constantly. He said the opposite???
Hi Lily, you are right, estrogen is produced constantly, but in varying amounts. It goes up until ovulation, then falls, then goes up again before menstruation.
Any idea of Dr’s advice for dealing with irritation from Combipatch( redness, itching). I think he started to address this in a previous video but was cut off. Thanks!
Hi, thank you for being here. Dr Mathis did say if a patch does not stick or is irritating, to try a different brand and hopefully that brand will use different adhesives and it will be less irritating. Are you able to do so?
@@claudiaglows Hi and thank you for responding ☺️ I did try a different one but it was irritating as well. I wondered if Dr Mathis would suggest a small layer of glycerin or hydrocortisone or something else.
Hi Shelby, I think that Dr Mathis still prefers rhythmic, even after a hysterectomy. If you ever need any help, please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr Mathis xx
Hi Claudia, thanks again for this very informative session with Dr Mathis. And you ask spot on questions. I will be contacting Dr Mathis, (thanks for the website) does he have an email or telephone number? I hope he can do a zoom consultation meeting, do you know if this is possible? Thank you so much!
Hi Sylvia, I am glad this was helpful. The website actually has Dr Mathis's phone number. Calling him is best and yes, he can def. do a zoom consultation. Please be patient when calling him, he can be a bit scattered at times, but he is absolutely wonderful. Please keep me posted and let me know if I can help with anything. My email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com x
Hi Sarah, yes. The age does not really matter so much as far as the number. So even for women in their 60"s Dr Mathis would like to see a level somewhere around that for the woman to feel good.
Hi Bella, as far as I understand it, they are a synthetic form of Progesterone which has been linked to an increased risk in breast cancer. Here is a study on this www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7156851/
Hi Claudia, loved this video! However, it should be made clear that pharmaceutical estradiol can also be bioidentical, i.e. identical to what our own body makes. People are erroneously using the term "bioidentical" for "compounded." There is bioidentical compounded estradiol and also bioidentical pharmaceutical estradiol. It is important for women to realize that pharmaceutical estradiol is incredibly safe and much more strictly regulated than compounded. Thank you for your efforts to bring us this information - we will all win if we can continue to educate each other!
Hi Stefanie, thank you for being here and for your thoughtful comment. You are absolutely right and we should have specified a bit better, that bio identical does not mean compounded and that pharmaceutical estradiol can also be bio identical.
I will highlight your comment so it is better visible to those who need this information. Thank you again, I hope you are having a wonderful day
xx
Agreed. I apply a pharmaceutical grade bioidentical estradiol nightly. It has worked much better for me than compounded bioidentical.
Hi Stephanie and Tracey, where can I find out more information on pharmaceutical bioidentical estradiol and progesterone?
Yes Stefanie, you are correct!!! I have a feeling you follow Dr. Barbie (Menopause Barbie), as I do and absolutely love!!! ❤️
Dr. Mathis saved my life and marriage. He is a wonderful doctor and person. It’s been a journey still not quite there I think one more tweak and we’ll be there. But feeling 1000% better.
Thank you Claudia, as I would not have met this incredible man if not for you!
Janet I am so very happy to hear that you are doing so much better!!! Yes, Dr Mathis is quite the life saver, so glad he was able to help you
Lots of love

Where is he located?
@@lizlou7601 I think California
Thank you so much for addressing such a important topic. I had a complete hysterectomy in October with both ovaries removed as well. I reached out to Dr Mathis and he was so kind. Dr Mathis practices the Wiley protocol using compounded BHRT creams which increase throughout the month to mimic a woman’s natural monthly cycle. With having a complete hysterectomy I didn’t want the massive swings in hormones and prefer a daily consistent dose. I was able to find an amazing local doctor that an advocate of BHRT for all women I’m now on the E patch and progesterone pill and feeling absolutely incredible
I am so glad that you found someone who was able to help you and that you are feeling incredible! Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself and encouraging other women to take care of themselves and find the help they deserve

Hi, what were your symptoms that HRT helped you get rid of??
Thank you Claudia & Dr. Mathis! This was great. I just started back on HRT , including vaginal cream testosterone, at age 70 after taking a few years off. I wish I’d asked my gyn to get my labs done first. Would love to see more interviews like this one! I was on sublingual bioid hormones before and found them to be much easier than the patch, caps and cream I’m on now.
Hi Lara, I am happy you are here and glad to hear you went back on HRT.
I hope what you are on will be beneficial to you, please keep us posted.
I actually have a couple more videos with Dr Mathis on my channel and recently I made one with Dr Hunter you might also enjoy. But I will def. have both of them back.
Have a wonderful day

I would love to have Dr. Mathis as my doctor. So intuitive. He IS the integrative physician. We need more of them. He should start an online service for other doctors or healthcare professionals.
You can reach out to Dr Mathis any time, his info is in the description box. And what a great idea! I will run it by him
xx
He could direct others who have the education and ability to be the kind of doctor he is. That would be a service. Since we can’t clone him, this is the next best thing.
This interview with Dr. Mathis is my favourite. I am on bio identical hormones and it was just so reassuring to hear that I am on the right path. My Dr. and I are still figuring out the best dose for me but I am feeling better. I am on the static dose but may ask my Dr. about the rhythmic protocol. Not sure at 65 I want a cycle again though lol. Everything he said made so much sense. Thanks for helping so many of us women get the answers we need and deserve! 💕
Hi Debbie, I am glad this was helpful. And I am so glad to hear you found a doctor who is willing to work with you and you are feeling better. If you do not want a cycle, as Dr Mathis said, static is ok.
I hope you and your doctor will find the right dose for you so you can feel fantastic

I m The continuos dose but my uterus mi it is too thick and my tested oestrogen levels too high. I m 61 and on it for osteoporosis prevention. My doctor told me to stop but I don’t want to do. I don’t get enough exercise to prevent osteoporosis I’ve got a disability and then another one referred me to the menopause clinic but there is a five month wait so I’m concerned I have to carry on with an ever increasing lining which can lead to complications - I’ve already had a surgery for a polyp and I have multiple fibroids and this is not good and yet no one within our national health service is taking responsibility for women’s hrt at the moment yes of the government policy coming out but meanwhile we’re still stuck in limbo self diagnosing and self-medicating on the Internet
@@gayedavies2797 I am so sorry Gaye! I would be scared to stop the estogen as well and I do not think that is the answer. You might benefit from rhythmic dosing so that your uterus lining can shed.

Is Rhythmic Hormones FDA?
@@emeritajimenez8521 Hi Emertia, compounded hormones are usually not FDA approved
Great Q & A with the Dr. I went through menopause abnormally young, at age 39, was done. I tried every form, when I could find a doctor to give me HRT. For the first 2 years they said it was stress, and I was too young. Long story short, after trying patches, creams, static and rhythm, pills, injections, they all stopped working to some extent. After 17 years of trying and switching protocols, I tried pellets. It took me one insert to realize many doctors overdose testosterone, but the last 9+ years have been the best I have felt. It took a while to find a doctor to listen and allow me to say these are the levels I feel my best at. I do not get anywhere the dose of testosterone most do, I do not want the side effects. I also had a hysterectomy at age 59, so do not cycle per say. I cycle every 4 months, since with my pellets, it increases my E, then I let it drop to a lower level before I get my new dose. So glad you asked all those questions, so many woman are suffering needlessly due to the WHI study, that was so misrepresented, interpreted and never really completed. At age 66 I feel better than I did at age 46, and my bone density show my bones are at the top of the chart for my age group. In my mid 40's they were in the danger zone. I could go on why HRT is so important, but the fear of cancer has been instilled in so many, they go on suffering.
Hi Nancy, thank you so much for sharing a bit or your HRT journey with us. I am very glad you found a protocol that works for you and a doctor willing to listen and work with you. That is the most important thing!
So happy to hear you are feeling better now than in your 40's. I know your comment will give many women hope, thank you .
Wishing you a wonderful day

Hi Nancy. May I ask what estradiol level makes you feel best?
@@encinosarah I test estradiol and FSH. I like FSH at 2 to 4. Estradiol can be 200 to 350 for my FSH to be in that range. It depends on my stress level, and what I have going on in my life.
@@nancydavis9712 Thank you for your reply. Is that 200 to 350 pg/ml or 200 to 350 pmol? Thanks again!
@@encinosarah pg/ml
I have gone as low as 150 pg/ml but was not as alert, had fatigue and brain fog. go by your FSH, test that, that is your bodies fuel gauge for E. The higher the more your body needs E.
What a Fantastic Doctor and great human being. His compassion, knowledge and care for the patient is something very rare to find these days. I used to live in the UK and the care for menopausal women has just started to take off. However, most women have to find a private doctor who charge quite a bit as the doctors who attend on the NHS know nothing,! I've livied in the middle east during the past 6 years and must say I'm very lucky to be living here during this transition. I had an amazing doctors in Bahrain who's been on HRT for 30 years. In Qatar they are still in the stone age when it comes to HRT. I had to fly to Dubai for an appointment with a menopause doctors and also to get hold of HRT. Thanks God I now live in Dubai and there are good doctors and plenty of choices.
I am so glad you found someone who was willing and able to help you! Doctors like that are unfortunately still rare, and like you, I was very lucky to have found Dr Mathis

I was one of those pellet people, who lost their hair. I much prefer bioidentical hormones. Women just really need to understand how important they are to their health. Don't procrastinate. Just do it! Hi beautiful Claudia!
Hi Susan, I am sorry to hear you had a bad experience with pellets. It sounds like you are doing much better now? You are so right, do not procrastinate, we have only this one life to life, as far as we know ;)

I have spent the last 4 months in tears trying to get answers as I m not well on my hormones. I finally got a blood test and have no one to check it with me. Why have doctors who don’t want to do their jobs ❤
Hi Gaye, I am so very sorry to hear you are struggling. However I am glad you had a blood test. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr Mathis so he can go over it with you. If I can help with anything, my email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com
Please know that there is hope and that you are not alone

You might want to check with a Functional Medicine Doctor or even a Naturopath--- they might be able to help more
you can check all ur results online just ask google "what does blank blank in blood work mean?"
Hi dear Claudia, I was so happy to see a notification about your new video. This was an amazing interview. Dr Mathis seems not only very knowledgeable but also kind, caring and considerate. I've had my share of troubles with hormones which mostly involved lack of menstruation, I have visited multiple doctors but unfortunately none of them could understand what is causing it and eventually I gave up. Thank you so much for this video, it gave me a lot of hope. Sending warmest wishes your way! xx
Hello sweet Agata, I am very sorry to hear that you have not gotten the help you need and deserve. Please do not give up. You can call Dr Mathis anytime. As you said, he is very caring and I am sure he can help you figure out what is going on. Sending a big hug your way

@@claudiaglowsHi Claudia I've just found your channel & it's been so helpful..Can I ask you please you may know or not but its worth a try . As I've asked my general Doctor my menupause specialist and a Dermatologist who specialises in hair scalp conditions etc & they can not answer me 😢
I have just turned 54yrs on BHRT 3yrs & still not my best self ..I've had so much tweaking with doses it has made things worse I believe.
I belive too high of estrogen of 600 gave me friboids which eventually made me have bleeds every 2weeks after no period for 5yrs ...I then had to go on higher progesterone 200mg static to control bleeding .
It didn't stop the bleeding. I reduced my estrogen slowly & now my bleeding has stopped hopefully forever.
I was on testosterone gel but feel my hair was thinning I raised it with menupause specialist she said my testosterone was not high ..my hair continues to get worse I felt emotionally exhausted & stressed & stopped testosterone..I did feel the benefits of it but too scared for my hair. Off it now 9mths .
I developed TE due to the stress of bleeding for 7mths very 2wks & losing my hair & I feel all the tweaking up & down of hormones .
I've had to start using minoxidil as the hair shedding triggered androgenic alopecia..
My hair was one long & thick & now its dry brittle fragile and breaks very easily no mater what I do..
I'm.on 50mg estrogen gel and 200mg of progesterone but feel this is not right either. Specialist wants me to stay on higher progesterone for awhile because of the bleeding I had ..
I don't know what to do any more I feel sorry for my husband he has had a tough time watching me be so sad & not enjoying life with zero libido 😢 ..There I nobody I can get the answers I need ..
Any advise would be appreciated I know your not a doctor but I am running out of options..thank you Claudia xx
I understand the menopause struggle Claudia.
The doctors advice will sadly meet an arrogant brick wall in Canadaa. Inadequate single payer health care and very few options for menopause support.
.
Canadiann women are lucky to even find a basic family doctor. The good understanding and patient ones are even more rare.
Hi, thank you for being here. I am sorry to hear that women in Canada are not being helped. It really makes me mad. Are there any online sources you can take advantage of?
Check out the North American Menopause Society. Under the 'For Women' tab there is a tab that says 'Find a Menopause Practitioner' and they list doctors in Canada that are certified by them. Maybe one of those doctors can help. However, I completely agree with you that finding a family doctor in Canada is VERY difficult.
Unfortunately many menopause doctors don't know much about the bioidentical HRT. All their say "you're normal for your age" very frustrating. if any one knows a doctor in Canada please share
Hello, appreciate the information. Thank you
I am really happy you are here! Have a wonderful rest of your day

All this for some reason worries me. I have struggled with pcos for years, taking the wrong medication, until someone actually helped me. I hope that when my time cones for menopause i will find someone to help me. Thank you Claudia for all this information!! Love you!!!

Hi Claudia !
That was a fantastic interview with Dr. Mathis , I learned so much and even though I’m way into post menopause I feel I should get my hormones checked out . I mentioned to you before on this subject that my Dr did not recommend hormone replacement , she said even with bio identical a hormone is a hormone , I never new it does not cause cancer . Perhaps because it’s the Cleveland clinic and they have their reasons I don’t know, like Dr Mathis said they just want to treat you with pills . I really would like to check my levels out , I’m not sure wether to talk to someone here , It might be difficult to correspond with Dr Mathis back and forth since he is so far . I know you started with him when you lived in Cali. Also I notice you use extra soy ; tofu , soy lecithin etc . Just wondering Why do you need more estrogen when your already level ?
Great topic - have a wonderful week beautiful
Hi Sue, I am glad this was helpful. Your doctor at the clinic sounds like he just has not done his homework, like so many of them. Cleveland is not that far from CA, and you can always give Dr Mathis a call. I actually lived in Monterey at the time I saw him and he is in Santa Barbara, so it was a 6 hour car ride away, but he is so great about doing so many things over the phone.
Or maybe he can refer you to a college in Ohio who works similarly.
You know, I use soy not for the extra estrogen, but because I love the taste and I am vegan. But I should probably consume a bit less of it ;)
I hope you are having a wonderful week, thank you for being here

@@claudiaglows That is a great idea to ask him if he has a college close by me here in Florida , we have Cleveland clinics here lol. Have a great week 🌺

Hello...pretty Claudia 🙋♀️
My cardiologist and gynecologist stated I wasn't a good candidate for the hormone replacements because I'm a heart patient 😔
But I didn't listen to them 🙄 and let this doctor inject the HRT in my butt 😳 and got a staphylococcus infection...that was 3yrs ago...but I'm still open to listening or even talking to this wonder man..🙏 I don't know if it's normal to feel sad or have no energy at all everyday...Plus losing my daughter...I so much admire you for the hard work you are trying to do..and I do not want sympathy I want help Not Pills...pills...that's all my doctors give me...thank you for keeping it real..🥺🙏😇🤍🤎
Hello sweet Marlene, I am sorry to hear you had to go through such an ordeal with the hormone doctor.
I would say using hormones can protect your heart, so maybe reach out to Dr Mathis and see if he can help you. I think after losing your daughter feeling sad and low energy is to be expected, but a lot of it can also be coming from the lack of hormones
Please let me know if I can help with anything. Sending lots of love your way, thank you for your kind words

I will be Zooming with him in a couple of days.
Is he aware that you are on Methylene Blue?
I'm waiting to resume MB once I'm up & running on the hormones, as I'm thinking that MB may be more than my bodily systems can handle right now - due to very weak hormonal responses/capacities.
Also, do you take DHEA?

I have never been tested for hormones and what they are doing but been on HRT since 2011. And three different types having stopped completly Easter 2022 due to the painful side effect but suffering bloating and weight gain also. After watching this though think another visit is much needed.
Hello, Claudia! I think i watched the videos in which you interviewed Dr Mathis more than 5 times each. I just love listening to him and learning a lot, also. One question for you, though: have you experienced hair loss at the beginning of the Hrt? Or have you ever experienced hair loss/ shedding with any other type of Hrt you were on? I'm at a loss here, i started static/ continuous hrt 3 months ago and almost immediately ( after 2 weeks) my hair started shedding like crazy, i lost half of my volume since october, and it doesn't seem to want to stop any of these days....i don't know what to do. ..
Thanks in advance, dear Claudia!
Hi, I am so sorry you are struggling with hair loss. I experienced extreme hair loss when I was not on HRT or on the wrong one. Have you tested your hormones since you have been on your HRT? If not, I would suggest to do so to make sure you are taking the right amounts. If your doctor does not want to prescribe a hormone test, you can order one yourself. I would test estradiol, progesterone and testosterone. Please keep me posted. If I can help with anything else, my email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com

@@claudiaglows thank you so much for your suggestions and for your prompt answer! I was actually planning to test my estrogen at the end of this month. Before starting this Hrt, my estrogen level was less than 5!!!! I am 43.
@@OlaRalu wow, you poor thing. You must have felt horrible with 5!!
Please keep me posted
When he says Estrogen levels-- Is he talking about Estradiol levels? (Thank you so much for interviewing him-- I've learned so much! )
Hi, yes Estradiol levels. He did say it is a good idea to also check your estrone here and there, but when he talked about the levels needing to be over a 100 for a woman to feel good he meant estradiol. Glad this was helpful
x
I can't wait for his estrogen book!
Dear Claudia,
Thank you so much for this interview.
Would you mind explaining what is exactly rhythmic HRT?
Like estrogen for day 1-25 of the month and progesterone from day 13-25? Etc? Like mimicking menstrual cycle even you are postmenoase already?
Hi, yes exactly. But the dose also changes during the months for both hormones as to mimic our natural rhythm.

And by the way, your hair looks amazing!!!!
Thank you!

Hi Claudia, I missed this video when it came out, so I’m hoping you’ll still see my question 🤞 I am on combined oral hrt and have been so for 10 years or so. I keep trying to swap to a more natural form of progesterone, but in the UK, we have only Utrogestan in 100mg capsules and I just can’t get on with them - they seem to make me nauseous and my mood plummets drastically. I’m assuming it’s because the dose is way too high, or I’m progesterone intolerant. Do you actually have your progesterone component orally, or have you been able to access a progesterone that can be absorbed through the skin? Also, as I am already on hrt, but would really like to check my hormone levels to see if I’m achieving the optimal concentrations, would it be better to test my levels after my daily dose or before? Sorry for long winded post and TIA 🙂
Hi Tricia, I am sorry to hear you are struggling with the progesterone. You are not the only one though, quite a few women have the same problem. I use all my hormones in compounded, transdermal form and I use the progesterone only for 14 days of the months. So maybe you could get a progesterone cream, I know you can get that in the UK, and use that instead morning and night to see if you do better on it. It will be much easier to adjust the dose that way as well. If you can not get a prescription for one, you can get one on line.
As far as testing your hormones, I would test first thing in the morning and then take the hormones after the test. I hope this helps. If I can help further please do not hesitate to reach out. My email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com
And please keep me posted

Thank you for watching and for your kind comment. I actually have a never video with Dr Mathis you might also enjoy
Hi Claudia I emailed with you plenty of times. After 15 years creams quit working. My sweet spot with estrogen was always 100. I got as low as 8. Doctor switched me to Dotti patch and wow I finally got the boob soreness, deep sleep etc only I have put on 7lbs! Waiting for blood results to come in but likely I need to cut back on Estradiol patch. I honestly will be shocked if it is outrageously high. Everyone is different and has sweet spots but yes weight gain does happen for some on Estradiol. I’m off the patch for now and working my ass off harder to get this 7lbs off!
Hi, I am so glad you found something that works! Please let me know what your labs were and keep me posted

Hi Gorgeous! I hope you're doing GREAT and have been on wonderful adventures!! Dr. Mathis was sent from heaven above! So glad I waited to watch while having a quiet morning.
I learned a great deal and he made such wonderful points! I was under the assumption that after Menopause, women have no estrogen or very little. I've never had my levels tested, unfortunately, and do use an over the counter bioidentical estradiol and progesterone cream (from time to time) and hope I've been using them correctly. I would be interested in his opinions on brain, bone and heart health in regards to estrogen requirements. Wonderful seeing you and so grateful for this education and you! Take wonderful care, xo
Hi gorgeous, I am glad you enjoyed this. Yes, Dr Mathis was def. send from heaven, he is so incredibly passionate about this and it really shows.
If you ever wander if you are doing things right with your hormones, you can always give him a call, he will be able to guide you. And what a great question regarding brain, heart and bone health. I know Dr Mathis will say that estrogen is crucial for all of them, but I will ask him in detail about this in the next video. I hope you are well and are having some fun adventures as well. Today is a holiday here, French independence day, so lots of concerts in the park. But because of the heat (it is 100F) they canceled the fireworks

What do you think about Estriol ? I’m on Estradiol patches .1 mg. every few days…..my estrogen blood work this week was low….38.8, I was doing progesterone at nite, a pill , then put cream on in morning., & you said progesterone can cut estrogen.
I’m thinking of adding Estrodiol cream each day to increase my estrogen levels. Please advise……..
I would definitely talk to your doctor about this. But I know that Dr Mathis does before estradiol.
Do you take testosterone? If you are, at what point in your process did you start taking it?
I do. I started taking it at the same time as the estrogen and progesterone
What are the units of measure for Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone in the US?
Thank you for this informative video!

Hi Claudia what an amazing interview🙌🙌🙌 You and the doctor did such an amazing job . I never see video more explaining than this. I just hope i am from that little percent group, you would never need it 😜 but if i ever need , i am going to your doctor. You know after last September my sickness and exhaustion, my periods stopped, and a few months ago, i felt little warm sometime coming up on me, considering i always cold. So i got maca capsules. I always took powder, but its not water soluble, so unless i have fresh juice or smoothie , i wouldnt take that every day. So started every day 2 capsules, and maybe 7-10 days, the warmness stop, i am again cold 🙏😅😝 So happy and this week some bleeding , little but something going on. So i am happy, not yet 😅 but i already spoke to my primary care dr and she order test to measure my hormone levels. I havent gotten yet, but i probably need to start checking to make sure that i am in the norms. I think once my body recovered, gained back a little weight, my body recovered from the trauma so my hair are back normal🙌💃 made my hair appointment with new stylist , he is french. I purchased those hair products that you advised . I got all volume ones, and also that treatment with dropper. I like it . It does make hair more full. Thank you and have a blessed day🙏🧡
Hi Giedre, thank you for your lovely comment. I am glad this was helpful. I am also happy to hear you are recovering and yay, your hair is growing back.

Hello Claudia. This is amazing. Thank you. I’m going to schedule an appt with Dr Mathis.
I’ve gone to so many doctors for HRT. Every time I take estrogen and progesterone I break out severally within a day. I’ve tried biodenical and everything under the sun.
No doctor can figure it out. My current Dr doesn’t want me to take any hormones. I’m about to give up. Any ideas are welcome.
Thank you.
Hi Lisa, I am glad you are here and please do not give up. I am not sure why you are breaking out from the hormones, but hopefully Dr Mathis will be able to give some inside and help you.

Hi Claudia, I'e been watching almost all your videos, so informative.
Might you be able to tell us how and at what brht doses you apply during a month's time to give me/us a general idea. I'm on hormone creams as well and at times I struggle getting a balance during the month and I'm starting to believe my body is fighting to be rhythmic yet the hormone cream I'm applying is not in a rhythmic way and, this is where my body is fighting me.
I've been on brht for 3 yrs., went into menopause 5 yrs ago at 53 and it's been a roller coaster most of the time. My Dr had never mentioned going rhythmic, and watching your videos is the first I heard of it's benefits. I figured I would try it on my own and see how my body fairs doing it that way.
Maybe if I try the rhythmic method I can become more balance doing it on my own and next yr when I see my Dr again I can let her know what I'm doing. If it doesn't work for me I'll go back to square one again.
Any information I guess you are comfortable sharing hopefully might be of help for me.
Thank you!
Hi Candee, thank you so much for being here and for your kind words. I am sorry to hear you are struggling and hopefully using a rhythmic method will be helpful to you. It is really hard to say though how much one should use and every cream has a different percentage of estrogen. Mine has a 1% concentration and on the program I am on, one starts out with 4 lines (which comes out to 4g) twice a day, then it increases to 6 on day 7 and to 8 on day 11 an 12, after that it falls to 2 stays there for a while until it goes back up to 4 x times a day. I know this sounds very confusing, so it would be best to have a doctor to guide you. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr Mathis. He can guide you and maybe even prescribe you the right dose. It is also important to test your levels after being on this dose for a while to make sure you are using enough but also not too much.
Also, please do not hesitate to reach out to me if I can help further. My email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com

@@claudiaglows Thank you so much Claudia! I'd really like to reach out to you, thank you for helping me! With that alone, I feel I have some kind of hope to look forward to. 🤗
Hi beautiful Claudia I was just wondering why Dr. Mathis didn’t mention anything regarding estrogen Bioidentical patch and micronize progesterone he only talks about the compounded BHRT.
Does he not think that the fda approved treatment is good? These are newer fda approved treatments. It’s not the old horses urine treatment.
I am on .05 patch every week and 100 mg of micronice progesterone.
And a pea size of 1 % testosterone gel. I have been on that for up to 5 months and I started bleeding so my doctor increased the dose of progesterone to 200 mg of progesterone and the bleeding stopped.
But I have read that testosterone can convert to estrogen too. Do it could have made me have a period.
But I’m curious now Doctor Mathis says too much progesterone can cancel out estrogen.
I just don’t want the bleeding because my doctor right way said we need to do a biopsy.
But she wants to wait until September to see if the new dose of progesterone stopped the bleeding.
But now I’m worried that it might cancel out my 0.05 estrogen.
Because in order for the heart bones and brain benefit and the moisture in the Vagina you Have be on at least 0.05 estrogen.
Thank you so much Claudia.💓
Hi Maria, thank you for being here and sharing a bit about your HRT program. Dr Mathis actually did talk about patches, but the audio broke up right there. He does think that if someone does not want to deal with cremes, patches are a good replacement.
As far as your estrogen the only way to know for sure if it is being canceled out or not enough is by your symptoms and to do a blood test.
How are you feeling on the high amount of progesterone. As Dr Mathis said, for some women that can cause depression.
I would say really pay attention to your symptoms and ask your doctor to get your hormone levels checked to see where you are. Please keep us posted. Also know that you can always reach out to Dr Mathis.
Have a wonderful weekend
Enjoyed your video. I have taken Bi-est cream including progesterone and testosterone as well as oral DHEA for the past 8 years. Many of my symptoms have improved and I look 10 years younger. But I cannot control my weight and have ballooned to 40 lbs heavier. I am disappointed as I had thought that "balancing my hormones" would help with my weight!
Hi Diana, thank you for being here. I am glad to hear you feel better with balanced hormones. Yes, hormones def. help regulate weight. But we also lose muscle as we age, with is metabolically active. So if we do not replace this lost muscle, not only do we run the risk of injury and frailty, but also our metabolism slows down. So one of the best things we can do as aging women is to lift weights to counteract this lose of muscle mass
It's be nice to see this get covered on health care system
It would be nice

Two years ago I asked my gp to check my hormone levels as I've been having hot flashes for 9 years. She refused saying "I won't even DISCUSS hormones with you. You're a smoker and taking hormones will only increase your chance of cancer." I wish I had the retort "if the hormones increase the risk of cancer why aren't pregnant women dropping dead with cancer?".

I am not your topical patient, I do a lot of research looking for ways to heal the body naturally. I am 80 take no medication. I asked my doctors to check my hormones and she dismissed me and said I don’t need it. I must have all my hormones in proper balance and I know I am not making progesterone. WHAT KIND OF TEST DO I TELL HER I need. Where can I get this cream. I live in Ontario CANADA.
Hi, I am sorry to hear you doctor is not helping. It is so frustrating.
I am not sure about Canada, but in the US you can go online and get some of the tests without a script. You would want to test estradiol, progesterone and testosterone, maybe even your thyroid hormones to be on the safe side. I have another video coming up soon with another doctor, talking about hormones, that might be helpful as well
As far as the creams, they are prescription, so you would have to work with a doctor on that

Hi Carol, I think he is still working on it

Hello Claudia, if you begin on HRT while in perimenopause in a rhythmic fashion, how can you mark the end of your egg reserve without the absence of menstruation for 12 mos? Is there a test?
Hi, thank you for being here. That is a great question. I would think you might be able to do an ultra sound to see if there are any eggs left, but I am not certain. I can ask Dr Mathis the next time I talk to him
xx
Thank you Claudia for such an informative talk. Can i ask when you say you vary your hormones do ypu mean having progesterone at days 14 to 28 or do you have different amounts of oestrogen and testosterone at different times in the month. Also can you ask dr matias if there are other hormones that should be looked at please?
Hi Noni, thank you for being here. Actually both, so the amount of all 3 hormones varies during the months, the estrogen rises until day 12, then falls, then rises again. The progesterone only day 14-18, but also in varying doses. Testosterone is somewhat static, but rises on day 13-17 and then falls again. I hope this makes sense.
I know Dr Mathis would say adrenal hormones, so cortisol, maybe DHEA and then thyroid, but I will ask him just to make sure
Wishing you a great day
xx
Thank you so much for sharing it's great. Is there some sort of test for the dr to guide you on the amout of cream that you use on different days? How many kind of cream and do you wash it of ?
Hi, I am glad you are here. So you test your hormones first, then start using the cream and test until you have good numbers. I use estrogen, progesterone and testosterone cream, so 3 different creams, and not, they are not washed off. They are applied morning and night and kept on the skin
I hope this helps

@@claudiaglows thank you so much
Hi Claudia! Thank you very much for valuable info and introduction to us this wonderful doctor!
I have a question for you: my mother, she is 73, no uterus, has all sorts of issues due to severe lack of estrogen. I know its way too late but from what you know now, do you think she can add gradually just a little bit of estrogen? patch? Thank you for your time!
Hi Lana, thank you so much for your kind comment! I am very sorry to hear that your mother is struggling. Good news, it is not too late. Dr Mathis says as long as HRT is started slowly, even women who have been without hormones for a long time can very much benefit from it. Does your mom have a doctor who is willing to listen and prescribe HRT? If not, please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr Mathis. His information is below this video. And if I can help with anything, my email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com
Please keep me posted and give a warm hug to your mom from me

@@claudiaglows
Thank very much Claudia!
She lives in Ukraine and it will not be easy to convince a doctor there to start HRT at her age. But good thing is that she is a retired nurse and knows some doctors who might give her green light.
But Dr Mathias might help me with the right HRT dosage( I am in my second year of life transition and started therapy one year after my period ended ) .I will call after I get my blood results soon. I live in Canada and our doctors here do not like to prescribe hormones or do regular follow ups and you really have to advocate for yourself:)))

Hi Claudia and Dr. Mathis! I live in Philadelphia and would love your advice on locating a GYN who takes insurance AND will prescribe bioidentical HRT. I'm having an impossible time -- most doctors who offer this service in my area aren't covered by insurance, but rather a cost-prohibitive fee for service. For now, I'm using (OTC) LifeFlo's BiEstro Care Body Cream and LifeFlo ProgestaCare, which are extremely helpful, but incomplete (from what I understand). Thank you. Also, this series you've done on hormones is so helpful -- I've shared it with many people.
Hi Seraphina, I am sorry to hear you are not getting the help you need. Calling your pharmacy might be helpful. You could ask them which doctors prescribe BioIdentical hormones. You would then still need to call their offices to see if they take insurance. Also working with Dr Mathis might be an option. He does not bill insurance, but you could try billing them yourself. And he is very, very affordable. If you want to call him, his info is in the description box.
Lastly you could search on line for doctors in your area who do BioIdentical HRT or better yet call your insurance and see who they contract with in your area

@@claudiaglows You're amazing. Thank you. I didn't even think about calling my pharmacy! I'll start there.

Hi there, I’m right outside of Philly. If you find a Dr in the area please share. As I have been looking for a couple years. Went to three gyn and no luck. I’m 55 and want to go on HRT. Good Luck!!
@@michellevolland5443 I will! I have an appointment with a new GYN later this month. Fingers crossed!
It is a great shame that Dr Bob's HRT treatment is not available in Scandinavia.
It really is. It is available in some places in Europe, such as Belgium...

I like this ! I’m 8 months post total hysterectomy and now 3 weeks on HRT 2 pumps oestrogen gel …I’m upping it today & adding my Tostran 3 times per week . Very little help in Uk
Hi, I am so sorry to hear you are not getting much help in the UK. Can you go to the lab and pay for your own tests? Here in France I can do that, which makes things much easier. This way you could see where your levels are and then adjust from there.

Can I put my Estradiol patches be put on upper shoulder, upper arm & above left breast…….???
I don’t know, you might want to ask your prescribing doctor
Hello! I’m 63 yo my last period was around 12yrs ago. My gynecologist from Kaiser insurance won’t prescribe me HRT she says it’s too late and more risk of heart attack and stroke due to very recent studies and research. I’ve had high cholesterol for about 10 yrs don’t know if that’s a problem for HRT. Other than that I’m pretty healthy no diabetes no high blood pressure etc. what are your thoughts?
Hi Elisabeth, I am sorry to hear you are not being listened to by your doctor. I can imagine that Kaiser does not want to pay for your prescription, so instead they feed you with misinformation. I just did another video with a Dr you might find very helpful. In it she also mentions that there is so much misinformation around HRT, and that the risks of developing disease is higher without hormones than with.
It is hard to say if your high cholesterol is from a lack of hormones, but we do know that a lack of hormones causes all kinds of problems, including osteoporosis, heart disease, dementia....
I would say find another doctor. I know that is easier said than done, especially since your insurance will most likely not pay for it. Dr Mathis is very affordable and he will listen and guide you. Or you can reach out to Dr Hunter, whom I did the last video with.
If I can help with anything, please do not hesitate to reach out, my email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com

I love the videos but when he Talks about hormone levels and numbers, I wish he would say what unit of measurement he’s talking about so I can see if that’s what my tests were done in.
Hi Amy
I believe it depends on the country you live in
Are you in the US?
What about estradiol patches?
Hi Winny, Dr Mathis actually talked about estradiol patches, but unfortunately the audio went out right at that spot in the video. He did say that if someone does not want to do a rhythmic replacement or does not want to bother with creams, they are a good choice
I hope you are having a great day

Claudia, this is so helpful again. Im taking lo loestrogen birth control pill to manage my menopause, but would like to switch to bioidentical pharmaceutical grade. Where can I find out more about what's available here in the USA. Im now on my third gyn doctor and still looking for the right one. ☹
Hi Annie, I am sorry to hear you have not been able to find the help you need. You can reach out to Dr Mathis and he can help you. Or you could call your local pharmacy to get a list of doctors who work with bio identical hormones
Please let me know if I can help with anything

Hi Claudia! How much does your HRT and lab work cost ? Thank you!
It really depends on where you live and what lab you use
Here in France it is less than 100 dollars, in the US it might be several hundred $
sorry, I just realised you asked how much my lab work costs. Here in France I pay about 50 Euro for estrogen, progesterone and testasterone tested.

You mentioned testing but I don’t remember hearing which form you prefer. Saliva, serum or urine?
Hi Nancy, Dr Mathis prefers blood testing for sex hormones. For cortisol saliva or urine.
I was recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. I've been on estradiol patch for 7 years .025mg due to a hysterectomy. I wondered if HRT could cause colitis?? Sure enough there are studies that link colitis and hrt. What are your thoughts?
Hi, I am very sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with colitis. Honestly, I would have to really study the studies to give you an educated opinion, but Dr Mathis always says that estrogen is anti inflammatory. So it seems to reason that it would not cause inflammatory diseases. Do you also take progesterone or just the estrogen patch?
x
@Claudia Glows hello Claudia, I had a hysterectomy and was told I didn't need progesterone. However, upon doing some research I found it was necessary. So, yes I did supplement with progesterone topical over the counter.
@@SandandGravelTruth I am glad you added it!
OMG -- 13:37 - 13:40...This. I've been suffering since 2018 and have not had a full night's rest since Dec 2018. Broken sleep is absolutely awful... and then I'm dealing with hot flashes during the day and flipping night sweats at night... good grief - I'm miserable.

Great information! I wonder how does Nmn/resveratrol affect estrogen and can women with ovarian cycst take Nmn/resveratrol?
Hi Emmi, thank you for being here. That is a great question and unfortunately we do not have that much information as far as NMN and estrogen. Same is true for taking it with ovarian cysts. Personally, if they are benign, I would take NMN, but if there is a chance of them being malignant, I would wait until we have further research. But that is just me. From the research we have so far it seems that NMN can actually be beneficial in the fight of malignant growth, but I do think more specific research is needed
xx
@@claudiaglows Thank you Claudia! I was thinking the exact the same.
Second question, when Dr. Mathis was referencing lab numbers, is this in regard to serum testing or DUTCH testing?
He is referring to serum testing. So just going to a lab and getting blood taken
When you get the bleeding each month, is it just like a normal period? 3 days?
Hi thank you for being here. Yes, it should be like your period used to be, so 3-5 days, depending on the woman

Ingenious to use estrogen as an early warning system to check for brewing of cancer.
Hi Jane, I think so too.

Do you know a good start dose for Climara patch? I'm 44 1 ovary with hysterectomy. Just got serum tested probably around cycle day 22 and it was 64 with FSH 26.4.

It never occurred to me and it has never been discussed with my provider about rhythmic use of Estradiol.
Is this a protocol that is recommended for women who have not had a period for years?
I do have a week of time during each month where I feel completely drained. The rest of the time, I feel pretty fantastic. I've known that it's hormonal but never understood why.
It's been 6 years since I've had a period, (except for the adjustment period of dosing my Estradiol) and not sure I want to start back up but ... I'd like that low time of my cycle to be more energetic.
Perhaps this is something to discuss with my provider with my next visit.
Hi, thank you for being here. Yes, you can absolutely do a rhythmic method even if you have not had a period. I did not have a period for years when I started. In that case we work with the new moon calendar.
Maybe discuss with your provider and if he is not familiar you can reach out to Dr Mathis for guidance. Please keep me posted and let me know if I can help with anything

I’ve just started on the gel and progesterone - I’m only two weeks in but exhausted all the time and I’m gaining weight. Could I be on too high a dose?
Hi Denise. Are you using the Wiley protocol?
@@claudiaglows I have the estrogel and the progesterone tablets (for days 15 - 28).
@@denisemoye495 you might want to talk to your doctor about adjusting the progesterone if you feel it’s too high
If you use a good compounding pharmacy they can have stricter regulations than pharmaceutical.
I agree!
So interesting! I wonder what hrt can do for perimenopause. I have an awful time the 2nd half of my cycle (hardly sleep, brain fog, awful mood) but feel great the first 2 weeks. I tried birth control last year and gained 30 lbs…and felt miserable all month! I went off after 5-6 months. At 46 I feel like there’s an estrogen issue, but not all month, just the last 10-12 days. Great video Claudia!
Hi Kelly, I am sorry to hear you are struggling for half of the months. It sounds to me like a progesterone issue, but you could give Dr Mathis a call and see what he thinks, or if you have a good doctor, see him/her and see if she can maybe run a blood test at that time of the months to see what is going on.
Please keep me posted and let me know if I can help with anything.

@@claudiaglows Thank you Claudia! Yes it’s rough, there’s definitely something wrong.
@@Dkb522 I hope you can find the answer
I have scizofective bipolar and found biodentical micronised progesterone very effect. I wish I had been prescribed in my 30s to 40s but Internet education wasn't available then. My body needs more progesterone than the average female and at age 50 I was nearly gone to the psychiatric ward.
Hi Kathy, thank you so much for being here and for sharing a bit about yourself. I am really glad that progesterone is helping! It is a shame you did not find out sooner, but luckily we are learning more and more about hormones, which in turn can help so many women
Glad to hear you are doing well now

I had understood progesterone goes up and down because it is being release in the second 1/2 of the cycle from the egg. Only estradiol is released constantly. He said the opposite???
Hi Lily, you are right, estrogen is produced constantly, but in varying amounts. It goes up until ovulation, then falls, then goes up again before menstruation.
Any idea of Dr’s advice for dealing with irritation from Combipatch( redness, itching). I think he started to address this in a previous video but was cut off. Thanks!
Hi, thank you for being here. Dr Mathis did say if a patch does not stick or is irritating, to try a different brand and hopefully that brand will use different adhesives and it will be less irritating. Are you able to do so?
@@claudiaglows Hi and thank you for responding ☺️ I did try a different one but it was irritating as well. I wondered if Dr Mathis would suggest a small layer of glycerin or hydrocortisone or something else.
@@dhennessey8908 I can ask him the next time I talk to him. Or if you want, you can call him as well
What if you have had a hysterectomy??? Should you do rhythmic HRT?

Hi Claudia. Do you know whether the estradiol target level he mentioned, over 100 pg/ml, applies to women in their 60s and older? Thanks.
