Ferritin is 30 …. Last August it was 61 and I questioned doctor on it and they said I am good! I was like ..are yu sure ? Now it’s 30 ! I need help

Hormone pusher no thanks

You look lovely in that outfit. Ty doc for the info.

My family all drink. I find the occasional red wine when out for dinner or lunch is a nice treat

I buy all The hormones in a pharmacy in Brasil. No prescription isneeded. OESTROGEL, UTROGESTAN And Androgel (testosterone ).

Please - Im new to this channel and praying you can provide wisdom on my issue that there is essentially zero information on anywhere. I had an emergency hysterectomy and bilateral oopherectomy 3.5 yrs ago at age 49. No doc ever said a word to me about HRT or the impact of suddenly having zero estrogen in my body, and within months of the surgery my physical wellness went to hell. Fast forward thru severe suffering, I finally discovered HRT 1.5 yrs ago..originally with compounded Biest cream which helped my hot flashes, but the debilitating full body, head to toe, excruciating joint pain that onset after losing my ovaries was untouched by the cream. Then I switched off cream and over to the weekly .1 generic estradiol patch a few months ago. Same issue...my hot flashes (100%) and brain fog (65-75%) are under control, but the debilitating joint pain in every single part of my body is never-ending, is getting worse each day, and I can barely move or walk or function. Then a couple weeks ago, I experimaented by putting TWO .1mg patches on at the same time hoping that would give me some magical relief, but no improvement at all in the joint pain (And I hate the patches bc they dont stay on (i have to wear adhesive over them), they cause massive itching, and Im just not a fan.) So, all that to say that Im guessing that this .1 patch (the highest dose produced), and even 2 patches, is waaay too low a dose for someone without ovaries. PLEASE...I cannot find this info anywhere and my doc doesnt know how much to prescribe me or in what form...What on earth is the proper dose of estradiol (body-identical) (and the best non-pellet delivery method) for a woman with no uterus or ovaries, esp given the results Ive explained, and the horrific full-body joint pain on the dosages noted above. Am I correct that those in surgical meno with no ovaries need MUCH higher doses of estrogen replacement yhan women who are in natural memopause? Id be incredibly grateful for any and all feedback and wisdom and specifics you can offer please about what I should try because there is just no info out there on this topic and years of my life are passing by and I truly cannot function due to the joint pain. Thank you in advance for reading all this and hopefully replying.

Will a progesterone IUD with estrodial patch stop spotting from HRT?

What would you say a woman needs to help her sleep only and not use testosterone?. So many of you doctors make these videos but won't answer questions.

Thank you for the great info. So on HRT I can now stop all the supplements I was taking, like Omegas, selenium, vit D, DIM, , Melatonin since estradiol makes the body work well and optimally? Thank you 🙏🏼

This is exactly what I was trying to explain to my oncologist and it was like I was talking to a wall. It's like she didn't understand what I was saying, but she doesn't have to live in my body for the rest of her life. I would rather have a good quality of life than be miserable when I go through menopause. I read the book estrogen matters and without hormones your risk of heart disease and osteoporosis increases. Plus there are a lot of potential side effects when taking tamoxifen.

Is the Divigel bio identical ? If not, it's not the horse urine, right? Just making sure 🙏🏼💕

Not all probiotics and fermented foods are equally good for all women. Especially for perimenopausal women because of estrogen and histamine connection. It affects our gut, skin, nervous system, heart etc.

When considering hormone pellet therapy, patients and healthcare providers must engage in a thorough discussion about the potential benefits and risks.

Such an informative video. I started this supplement recently and will now add it to my husband's daily supplements. While I did my own research before purchasing, your clear-cut explanations are better than what I found online. Thank you!

Thank you for amazing information.

There are photos of both of these products in the video!

Dr. Susan, do you take the Thorne product AND the Pendulum Metabolic Daily or a similar Pendulum product?

Thank you for an informative video. I enjoyed listening to that. The microbiome are so fascinating. The first time I heard of akkermansia was many years ago, before it was available to buy. It was Dr William Li, in a Ted talk. He mentioned that the immunotherapy works better in patients that have higher akkermansia levels. He said that when his mother got cancer he got her to eat pomergrant or pomergrant juice (can't remember) prior to her successful treatment. When my kids were born I was given a brochure to buy ' l reuteri drops' to avoid colic or noro virus . Didn't think much about it, just bought it and kids never had any troubles. Years later I decided to look up about l reuteri on CZcams and see what that was all about . Saw Dr Davis videos and And found it easy to make yogurt' I reuteri' yogurt in the Instant pot. Akkermansia can not be made in an instant pot 😅 haha. It sounds so crucial. Thanks

I’m so glad they are finally doing micro biome & gut health research! It’s so important to our overall health & wellbeing.

My Akkermansia levels were not even detectable on a GI Map, although I’m not overweight at all. I’ve been taking Pendulum Akkermansia for several months now and if nothing else, it has helped with my constipation. Hopefully a followup test will show an increase of those in my gut.

You have the gift of teaching. Thanks for explaining.

Thank you Susan for sharing this information. I found it on Amazon.

In addition to fast food diets and chemical additives in our food, the main culprit to our microbiomes has been the ever increasing use of the herbicide glyphosate (known as Roundup by many) in the last 30 years. Glyphosate was originally patented as an antibiotic. It is sprayed on an array of crops, including non-gmo grains, legumes and sugar beets (that they make table sugar with) which they use to dry out the crop at harvest. This I feel is the main driver of the explosion of chronic desease in the last 30 years. I grew up in the 1960s and while I didn’t eat a lot of fast food, sugary treats were abundant and very few vegetables were eaten (mostly meat and potatoes with some canned peas or carrots was typical). Still there was relative health in the population, almost no autoimmunity, and very little obesity. So lack of fiber can’t be the main reason for our declining microbiomes. Switching to an organic whole foods diet whenever possible is the only way to stop the destruction of our gut health.

Thank you, that was really interesting.

❤where isit a ailable?

Im 65. Is it too late?

So very interesting. Would you mind sharing the specific Probiotic you are referring to from Thorne? I have spent so much time and money trying to figure out the best “ bang for your buck” with probiotics. Very exciting news about Akkermansia. What is the test you referred to in this segment to do at home for gut health ? Science is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Why not talk about injections? I did fine on pellets for 13 years... until I didn't. Patches, gels, creams did not work for me. I have been doing twice weekly injections at home, and feel very stable. I do not have crazy high numbers either, my E is 115 and T is 54.

Very interesting! I had never heard of this probiotic before. I am going to talk to my holistic nutritionist about this. Thank you!

Please include the link where to buy it

I gain weight rapidly within days of oestrogen like massive swelling all over body due to histamine issues. I need very high dose of progesterone to inhibit the histamine

this seems to overlook the reports of many women that indicate a relatively small percentage actually orgasm from vaginal penetration.... maybe I am missing something… i usually am....

I’ve been on Testosterone, progesterone and np thyroid for years. Added Estrogen patch 2 months ago. I’ve gained 15 pounds! I hate it!

Thank your all the information. Its the inactive ingredients i m concerned about. Peanut oil can go rancid

Is it important to take bio identical estradiol?

Hi I tried opening your website using CZcams link could not access

Side effects like blood clots could maybe be due to the inactive ingredients they would put with the estrogen... hmm...? My concern may be the other ingredients

Apart from their breast cancer conclusion, do they mention the other interesting conclusions of taking estrogen in their study?

Please emphasize what Dr Susan Hardwick stated concerning the risk of breast cancer and HRT or Testosterone...a VERY important FACT, that Neither HRT, nor Testosterone causes Breast Cancer in healthy women, meaning women who don't currently have cancer cells or who are undergoing cancer treatment. Repeat this from every mountain please! Thanks for covering this important issue.

I was given Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cream after ONLY A SALIVA TEST... JUST STARTED THE CREAMS, ON A WEEK AND ITS NOT TOO HIGH OF A DOSE, BUT I did not get blood test... Is SALIVA TEST GOOD ENOUGH? IM CONCERNED!!! THKS MUCH

I had blood test done after being on bhrt for 3 months, my progesterone was 1.9 8 hours after taking 100 micronized p. Should i up my p to 200? i had my blood tested on my own. Also progesterone does not make me sleepy, i read that that may mean my body is not absorbing the progesterone? how do you know if your body is not absorbing it.

Under marketing is as usual suppression of woman power. Thank you so much for the education ladies 🙏🏼🌸🌞

Any scarring for black or brown skin?

New subscriber here....I'm so frustrated because my Dr. will not give me a prescription because I have a history of breast cancer in my FAMILY!...There's so many new researches that state that it's ok to use. My biggest concern is Vaginal Dystrophy, everything else I can live with. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!!

Hi, I am 68 years old, and went through menopause at age 43. I had been on HRT’s, which included Estrace and Prometrium until 2019 when I was diagnosed with BRCA1 mutation. I then had prophylactic bilateral mastectomies, and hysterectomy with BSO. Intraoperative I was found to have stage one fallopian tube cancer. The timing of all this was nothing less than miraculous. I had chemo prophylactically at that time., and have not had reoccurrence. As you would expect my HRT‘s were Ripped away from me. So essentially, I have been off HRT‘s for five years. I am wondering if stopping my HRT’s cancelled out all the years of cardiovasular, neuro protection. My main concern at this point is that my mother as well as her sister had dementia. I do have some arterial plaque, but not obstructive. My labs are all great and my lipid panel is fabulous as I am on Crestor. I really want to go back on some form of HRT, because dementia is a fate worse than death. No doctor will have a conversation with me about this. I just get the side eye and eye roll.

Great information. I with you r my dr.

Thank you for eloquently explaining this. I received Intrarosa from my dr and wonders if it was safe. I love how you explain things so clearly.

Why don’t they have time release version of these hormone pills? Is it really difficult to get one done?

How do you take tbose hormones and how to get them? Thank you 😊

What about testosterone via a shot??
