Estradiol is amazing for most of us women!! Thank you for sharing and letting women know!!
@pamw3238 Thanks for watching! Estradiol is definitely not something to be afraid of. You're so welcome.
Thanks you for all your information it has help me so much, feeling better with my HRT Pellets.
Great to hear!
Are there different types of Progesterone medication offered, or is PROMETRIUM the only option given?
Would Ethinylestradiol work the same way, if my physician is only willing to prescribe oral contraceptives, because I'm still only in early perimenopause with regular periods, but with some menopausal symptoms?
Your channel is very interesting. I am 64 and my last period was when I was 50. I eat an extreme low carb diet and am also experience post menopausal symptoms including painful sex. What exactly is the corelation to heart disease and estrodial. My most recent bone density showed no bone thinning. I am very frustrated to think that I can’t have estrogen
You absolutely can & should be using vaginal estrogen at VERY LEAST.
HRT did not protect my bones on HRT 3.5yrs , diagnosed with osteopiania first then 2yrs later osteoporosis on HRT during that time it made no difference..
I find it hard to believe now it protects us from all the age diseases you talk about..
I don't smoke never did or drink alcohol I'm not overweight either & I exercise daily...take vit d K2 magessium, high protein diet....so disappointed 😢
You have to cycle HRT build up and break down monthly to rebuild your bones - watch some of Dr Mathis or Dr Gersh CZcamss
yes we all need estrogen but we need a fine balance of all hormones,this is the grey area,no one knows where that balance is
I am 72 and got off my hrt at age 60 ... can I get back on now, or is it too late? I don't have any health issues (that I know about, but then again, I don't get tested for any.)
It is absolutely not to late. Listen to menopause Barbie
Will someone starting HRT at age 68, 13 yrs past menopause, still experience any degree of cardio protection, or too late for that protection?
I don't think its ever too late. I use hormone creams and Im 64...started at 59. You don't need alot and it really makes a difference.
Especially if it’s topical.
Steve - We would so welcome you and your wife (family) to our "Shark bite" area known as the Florida panhandle! 😉 🦈😆
Thank you again for bringing these educational videos to us. Your knowledge and ability to make what has been a complex, under researched area much easier to understand is greatly appreciated.
Still looking for a "Horome Optimizing" doctor/provider BUT your videos and information continues to bring hope as I search.
Thank you again for your willingness to "Answer the cry for help" from so many of us still navigating this journey!
Thanks for that offer @shaynebetts7243 ! We'll have to take you up on it sometime. Our kids live in Nashville and we've talked about taking a (6 hour?) road trip to Florida for a beach holiday but never pulled it off. Maybe we're nervous about sharks?

Outstanding, looking forward to having/hosting you guys! Keep me in the loop as you guys make those plans!
Are there ANY negative side-effects to taking HRT? Or BHRT? Risks to liver and/or kidneys, neurological side-effects?
@Blueskies7775 Good question. There ARE side effects from HRT or BHRT. But they’re almost always mild and very manageable.
There’s no risk of liver, kidney, or neurological side effects. I’ve never read of any.
Estradiol can cause water weight gain, bloating, headaches. Estradiol’s most bothersome side effects are usually breast tenderness and vaginal spotting or bleeding.
Progesterone causes drowsiness, which is a part of its ability to dramatically improve sleep. It also affects the GI tract, leading to bloating, constipation, and reflux.
Most women find these side effects to be a nuisance rather than a deal breaker. Most side effects will go away in a few weeks.
I pretty much started bleeding every day, finally told doctor about it after 6 months. I'd stopped my HRT at this point. Breasts also very tender and lumpy. Moods awful, hated my husband again. I didn't find these effects a mere nuisance. That noted, I now have very, very advanced osteoporosis (at age 62, only discovered after back pain had become chronic,) so...maybe it would have been less of a nuisance had I known this would/could happen?
@@cindylutz7442 Why didn't your doctor try a higher progesterone to stop bleeding? Maybe it would have been beneficial to try different types of estrogen and delivery methods. It takes a lot of trial and error to feel good again.
It can't touch your kidneys unless you're doing oral HRT. That's a good reason to stick with creams or injections.
I had 9 lumps 1.5 cm, change diet all gone
Changed diet from what to what??
@@FortheHealthofit.No flour, little sugar, no many beers😅😅😅, no medicine
PHARMA expects huge profits in 2024 on HRT...over 10 billion more than 2023...
@cindyb5214 Good for them . . . but PHARMA is pretty much opposed to hormone optimization.They’ve teamed up with the FDA to do everything they can to make it difficult for doctors and patients.
Exactly and my cream comes from a compound pharmacy my doctor prescribes after looking at blood work for what hormones are needed every 3 months ..insurance does not pay this medication..pays doctor and blood work but not the medicine so insurance wants you to die earlier…this helps you live longer and better
This story is in the interest of the pharmaceutical industry. Enough.
@bizivkovich9906 Ya think? I'm not so sure Big Pharma would agree with anything in this video.
If that were true, doctors would be pushing HRT, not withholding it from women. It's crazy that I have to go to a naturopath to get it and even then they all want to under dose.
Not really. Most of this stuff isn't even covered by standard insurance.
@@SimpleHormonesYou are correct!
@@eviltwinnancy4561They will only ptrscribe the pill (oral) which is substandard HRT and can even be harmful.
I have a friend going through menopause she believes if she prays hard enough HER God will heal her... I always want to ask her how's that is going for you ? Every day she suffers but gets no relief from her god.
