The estradiol in Oestrogel is derived from the Yam not chemicals. All transdermal estrogen (patches, gels and sprays) are from the yam plant as it provides “body identical” estradiol.
For those wondering if HRT will help you lose weight: my HRT doctor has said no, HOWEVER, hormone replacement will help with brain fog, motivation, stamina in daily life (like getting washed/dressed), improve sleep, help the stomach process food, and help the mind function to have the energy to shop and eat healthy. For the weight loss with with HRT, it helps you function so you can lose weight by having the energy, stamina, etc to put yourself on an exercise regime and proper diet regime. All those are impossible to do when testosterone is very low or practically gone. My testosterone is more or less gone at the tested level of .186 .
Did you get on Testosterone? I think women need 30 to 70 ng/dL total T and 0.6 to 2.1 ng/dL free T to feel good. Im a man and my total T is > 1500 ng/dL and my free T is about 30 ng/dL. Im taking a ridiculously high amount of testosterone-cypionate of 40 mg/day every day.
@nememel1 thanks for spelling it out so precisely. That’s exactly what hrt has been doing for me. Gave me the motivation and will to be organized enough to stay healthy. God send.
You should! It’s the number one hormone essential for women!!! Post$menopause, all women’s estrogen levels are at “O”!!! That’s the definition of post-menopause! Sadly, most doctors are ignorant to this fact! Check out “Menopause Taylor”….she will educate you on HRT and then some!
Hello. Just for clarification. Premarin was used in WHI 2003. Progestin (not bio identical progesterone ) was used. Poorly designed study disproved by subsequent researchers
What was th estrogen used for women who are quite healthy and do not have much of the physical symptoms but mostly mental due to bipolar and cognitive issues ?
Thank you Dr Eef Hogervorst for your work and for taking the time to talk about this and much gratitude to the lovely host as well.
