The Womens' Health Initiative itself had an "arm" or subset of women who had no uterus. They were given the Premarin without an opposing progestogen. This subset of women had reduced breast cancer risk. Therefore, I concluded that it is the progestogen that raised breast cancer risk. I was a cell biology researcher looking for a treatment for my 70-year old mother who had fallen while hiking and broke both her wrists. After beginning transdermal estradiol (the patch) and micronized oral progesterone, she never broke another bone in the rest of her life. She lived to 94 and fell several times.
Thank you. I found your comment very promising and insightful. Am I to understand that your mother continued taking estradial parch and micronised oral progesterone into her 90s? I would very much appreciate further communication with you if that is acceptable. Joyce
@@Dr_DougLucas hello I'm 23 years old and I've been vaginally bleeding for 4 months non stop I went to the ER I'm not pregnant and they said my ultrasound is fine they said it's my hormones is there any natural remedies I could do at home to help my control the bleeding
Dr Doug did not tear Dr Berg down. He presented data as he always does. Dr Berg has been and will continue to be a great resource on many health topics. Listening to many experts is how we learn and therefore can make our own decisions for our health care. Not sure why you took this so personally.
How old is the video made by Dr Berg? This topic is SO confusing due to the Women’s Health Initiative study from about 15 years ago. I’d like to see more research done on post menopausal women.
His video was from 5 years ago. The problem is that most doctors only read the conclusion--or even worse, listen to media headlines. They don't really look into the details of studies. That's why we need Dr. Doug.
Thank you Dr. Lucas for the clarification video on this topic. Whenever I have questions about things I read or see, I always do lots of research. I’m on HRT to help prevent the bad stuff from happening and I’ll stay on it for as long as I can. Videos such as this help women make better choices for themselves. 🙏
Dr Berg's video is old. He looks different now than on the video. He still has a lot of good info on many topics. However, as for osteoporosis, I like to follow Dr. Lucas 😊
Dr Berg and many others believe that the body does not need chemically produced substances but by living healthy lifestyle live happy and healthy. I like and apply both approaches.
The data for reduced breast cancer risk in the subset of women who did not take medroxyprogesterone acetate is right there in the original Womens' Health Initiative article. It is so annoying to me that it took decades for medical professionals to notice this.
I completely disagree! I have taken Dr. Berg's advice and healed my adrenals and menopause symptoms. Not only does Dr.Berg look amazing, which I never take advice from someone who doesn't look healthy or have what I am looking for, he gives solid advice and it works. If you want to make your own videos about health, do so, but don't say other people are wrong, especially those that are actually helping a lot of folks. If you believe in what you are saying, you don't have to prove other people are wrong to make your point. Dr.Berg rocks!
Thank you for sharing your perspective! I agree that Dr. Berg has helped many people, and his insights resonate with a wide audience. However, I feel it’s also important to respectfully discuss differing viewpoints when the evidence or approaches don't align. My goal isn’t to discredit anyone but to present balanced information so viewers can make informed choices. Healthy debate and diversity of thought help everyone grow and find what works best for their unique needs. I appreciate your input and passion for health topics!
@Dr_DougLucas You're response to my message, which I thank you for, certainly comes across a lot different than your title to the video. You definitely were stating in big bold letters that Dr. Berg is wrong...how can he be wrong when his advice worked for me and so many others? Like I stated before, you don't have to prove someone wrong to share your information.
Appreciate your comments and clarification on hormones, Dr Doug. And it's good to hear that you like Dr. Berg. He's helped educate millions of people to help us try and stay healthy.
Labeling something bioidenticle vs synthetic is not a guarantee that either is more safe or more effective. Example - pure T3 for thyroid replacement is Cytomel / liothyronine & it's synthetic- it works well and there aren't side effects if used / prescribed properly.
The term, “bio-identical” is a made up marketing term, not a medical term. It was created as a way for the compounding industry to hoodwink women after the WHI study was leaked to the media without going through peer review. It doesn’t confer safety especially as all hormones (including from a compound pharmacy) are created in labs and could therefore be considered “synthetic.”
I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate through all the health recommendations out there. Remember, small, manageable changes can add up to big results over time.
First see whether the presenter has an MD / DO degree or is the presenter a chiropractor/ health coach/ blogger etc. in you tube half of the doctors are not doctors at all. Generally go with the degreed doctors with MD /DO degree. Do your own research also
Go for the natural way. In the medical field, they make you pledge to say just what the system wants. In here, the main interest is money from the Big Pharma, and in this video, of course, this Dr is going to defend his fiel, I'm not against him, don't take me wrong g, but whenever possible keep your reproductive organs with you, follow Dr Berg health tips, the pharma lies, again, its all about money, God bless you, take care of your diet ❤
I find all of this interesting, still wanting to lean on natural approaches not synthetic or bio identical hormones. Our bodies were not made to depend on these. My grandmother’s never took them on both sides of the family, they ate well, moved often, got out in nature and lived into their 90’s. We were not built to depend on pharmaceuticals. We just have to take the time to research what nature offers.
@@summerbird4288 I’m talking about how my grandparents and great grandparents took care of themselves and lived a very long life on both sides of my family. I choose not to use pharmaceuticals and follow in their footsteps. Every one is entitled to choose their own path. Our path has served us well as none of my family is on medications. It has been a challenge to find natural sources of healing but it’s worth it.
I have listened to Dr Berg and read his book but many of his opinions never really resonate with me. I feel like he doesn’t “get” post menopausal women and our unique challenges and he tends to be very “one size fits all”
Exactly, there is one thing about Berg, he is good to correct something if he did get something wrong which at this point has been seldom, he's generally great with his research and my health is proof of that!

Non-oral estrogen greatly reduces the risk of blood clots or stroke. For example, transdermal Estradiol patch is a very popular “bio-identical” medication that many menopause practitioners prescribe to their patients.
So we have to do our own research (I do). But as a lay person it's often difficult to know how to spot the corrupted and falsified research so I've also been reading books exposing and explaining the tricks used not only to sell medications but to push scans and tests etc. But I now feel I'm left swinging in the wind trusting no one.
I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate through all the health recommendations out there. Remember, small, manageable changes can add up to big results over time.
I really dislike the phrase 'older' because what does that mean exactly? Dr. Doug I am so happy you keep focussing on this topic of hormones. It is so fundamental to our lives and yet still there is much confusion for post menopausal women on what steps to take and how to find valid information. Outside the US even harder.
There's also enough evidence and studies showing that higher levels of estrogen (during postmenopausal) will be preventive for Alzheimer's disease, Osteoporosis, and cardiovascular health. Thank you for this!
I did bioidentical Wiley Protocol HRT for 12 years post menopausal. However, I did develop breast cancer with no genetic markers or family history. Caught early & i'm okay. But HRT can increase your chances of Breast cancer. My primary doctor told me this - but I didn't listen to her. But went with anti aging doc advice. Up until this year my bones were Normal. Now have osteopenia 3.5 yrs after stopping HRT. Doctor needs to do the risk/benefit & advise according to your specific situation. But their advice may be colored by their specialty, sigh.
I love you all but I have to disagree about this. I took these longer than 5 years and ended up going on Tamoxifen for 5 years because of estrogen positive. (preventive) I think maybe if it isn't in your family you will have a better chance of this working. I just can't agree. So sorry that I don't agree but just want some women to do this cautiously.
Happy to hear all is well now. Could you please explain at what age you started hrt and what kind? How many years. Everyone is different but every story counts.
I am in heart failure. I can't take HRT. While i appreciate the science you are well versed in, i appreciate information from Dr. Berg to help me through something my doctor says there's limited relief for thanks to my heart (which has been persnickety since childhood). I really hate how the medical community can't help me through such a massive change in my body.
That is very, very, very old video of Mr Berg. Like 8 years ago? Secondly the corrected studies on hormones have being publised only recetly. Back 4 years ago still majority of doctors claimed that all HRT means cancer and stroke 🙄🙄
Yes, maybe he will create an updated one in the future! We fully support Dr. Berg but have had many comments about this topic leaving listeners very confused and felt it was necessary to share our thoughts to hopefully provide clarity!

If you think that the body is malfunctioning when it goes into menopause, then you'll think that it's a condition that needs correcting. I personally think that nature changes these hormone levels for a reason and the the body is not malfunctioning. I'm not going to take hormones to keep my levels unnaturally high because I don't think I know more than nature.
It's 2024, and I am still prescribed Provera (MPA) with estrogen gel... should I be worried and push for micronised progesterone? I do not have any breast cancer in my family history.

Besides being expensive, Pellets are not tested, regulated, or studied. You do not know what you’re getting as they’re not FDA approved or covered by insurance. Legitimate doctors do not recommend them and doctors that do are just after your money (grifters) as pellets are a very profitable revenue stream for them.

Personally, I take all the info on You Tube with a grain of salt, do my own research, and then decide what is best for me.
Hi! Yes it is possible he will create an updated video in the future. We have had many comments from listeners who are extremely confused on this topic and getting different information from different specialist so we felt it was necessary to provide some updated insights and clarity on this discussion.
It's such a strong pressure on women to take HRT, I almost feel something's wrong with me since I don't feel I need anything to help me through this stage of life. Of course everyone who has bad experience should use it, that's what science should do - help people. But if I don't feel I need it I shouldn't be pressured by my gynecologist to use it.
I have a few friends that don't feel that they need anything in menopause or peri they say they don't get any symptoms and all women are different but I still think most women get symptoms
Anyone here go into into menopause age 40? I’ve not had my cycle in 8 wks and my labs show premenopause. I want to get it back! My doctor read the book estrogen matters and wants to help active my hormones again. Any thoughts? 🙏🥺

I know a woman that was experiencing Peri symptoms in her late 40's, and she went on a diet that supported each phase of her cycle, example when she is in her ovulation phase, she increasing estradiol and good fats. She does take orangic Soya milk, (Natto) and took Serrapeptase on her Ovulation phase if she missed a period. Black See Oils, Omega 3 oils, Olive oils etc! Male or female we all need Vitamin D and Magnesium to draw calcium out of our blood, into bones and to stop autoimmune inflammation issues.
@@-living4jesus4ever- i wouldnt touch serrapeptase if i was given it free! lol. Many people had the most horrific side effects from that, like bleeding heavy, etc.etc.etc. the list was horrendous, i remember names well lol.

Excellent information. I'm beginning my journey to understand my 64 year old body. I was on HRT from 52 to 60. It got rid of my significant hot flashes and other frustrating issues. They refused to continue due to stroke risk. I now wonder why they didn't switch me to a bioidentical at low dose patch and pill. The NAMS Position Statement of 2022 is significant for me as I age. The health benefits are important to those of us at this age if appropriate. I now understand the true risks and the truth about the Womens Health Initiative. Why the truth, when it came out, wasn't promoted was, in my opinion, harmful to women.
When you have zero estrogen, it really does a number on your body, skin, face, internal organs. I do not wish to dry up and blow away the last 20 years of my life. Sorry Dr Berg!
I like these videos where you challenge the errors you find on YT. The other big one was the vegan woman who was convinced that veganism was best for bones. 🤪 I like Dr. Berg (only found him about a week ago), but your info trumps his. He did say "unless you show me....there might be some studies, but I've never seen any." Well, you showed him!
ah someone who understands at last! I feel sorry for this doctor that a lot of these viewers are having a go at, it is so unfair. He was just trying to correct and error and show why he said what he did!
The Dr. Berg video is one of his older videos. He may have revised his thinking since then. I don’t think he is averse to admitting it when he is wrong, especially since knowledge in the health care arena is ever evolving. One thing I will fault him on in the video is he has written on the board hormone replacement for “older women”. We do know that once women go into menopause estrogen and progesterone tanks, and even though our adrenal glands can make these hormones, they are not made in anywhere near the volume they were when our ovaries were making them.

i'd be a bit careful with DHEA supplementation? I was also interested in this, but they could be a bit dangerous. I would do further research if i was you, to make absolutely sure they will be safe to use.
One thing I want to add here most of your health care physicians don’t put as much emphasis on women’s hormones either you need to go to perhaps an endocrinologist or a female, gynecologist or male gynecologist, which ever OB/GYN, but the average doctor in my experience when I asked to have my hormones checked different levels they were not really concerned now I am post menopausal I am 67. I’ve had a hysterectomy they should’ve so finally. I had to find someone who looked at it on a regular basis and that may be what you have to do and then you make a decision from there there’s wild, yam creams there’s a lot of things out there that you can use if you’re worried about synthetics.
Sorry…just because he has a title doctor, doesn’t mean his speciality is in the field …Dr. Burg is a chiropractor…not an endocrinologist…so, It would be like letting a pediatrist operate on my brain instead of a neurologist …not gonna happen…I believe he needs to stick to his field of speciality….,
@@dilletanteproprietor reverse menopause does not exist. Is a natural process of the body. Diet may help easy symptoms but its does not mean internal impact of lack of hormones are not happening in the body. Diet does not reverse menopause.
Dr Berg can’t even get his grammar correct. I don’t watch him because he has presented facts in the past that are inaccurate that this former nurse picked up on straight away. Any product derived from horses involves animal cruelty to obtain hormones as the horses have a miserable life and are repeatedly aborted in order to harvest the hormones at the optimum time. The hormones are collected from blood and from urine. The latter involves the animal living it’s life in a stall with a bag tied to it’s back end to catch the urine. The former runs down the horses health from repeated blood loss.
i WAS READING SOMETHING ABOUT THE HORSES AND THE URINE. THEY RECKONED THE MALE HORSES ARE OF NO USE AFTER AND HAVE THEM SLAUGHTERED.I THINK ITS A DISGRACE. POOR ANIMALS.
@@Rosina2727 I didn’t know that stallions are also used to harvest hormones. I guess testosterone is requires, especially for transgender patients. That has given me food for thought. I wonder, would they transition if they were aware of this?

Berg has helped me and my wife deal with several chronic issues...Berg knows his stuff when it comes to health, I'm living proof. My wife loves him now, don't get personal with the Scientology, no one really knows if that's even true because of a disgruntled son claiming this, and I feel Scientology is a scam and regardless whether he's a part of it or not it's really none of our business, as long as the man gives solid health and nutrition advice based on actual honest research, that's all I need to know! You are doing yourself a HUGE disservice if you ignore his videos, he's the MOST informative individual on this platform, there is a reason why he has over 11 million subscribers....that's not by accident, the word gets around when you are on the mark!
Apples and Oranges... I've been listening to Dr Berg for several years, and have Never heard any comment or impression that he relates his health practice to Scientology.
I have followed Dr. Berg for a few years now, he has helped me and my wife address several minor chronic issues based on his advice from deep research. I'm not saying he is perfect but he's pretty close based on my experience and what seems to be MOST people who follow him which is OVER 11 million subscribers so I really wouldn't go here if I were you, there is a reason why Dr. Berg has that many subscribers. I can tell you that now I will unsubscribe just from the fact that instead of you just giving YOUR version of what you believe you chose to try and tear a VERY reputable man down just because you didn't agree with his approach, you don't have to agree with him, just do your own video instead of trying to build yourself up by tearing someone down which I would believe Berg over you since Berg has been the one that has been EXTREMELY helpful for me and my wife address chronic issues over the past few years. The guy is spot on with everything that I've experienced. So way to go on losing a subscriber....try a different approach and instead of trying to tear someone else down, you should try Bergs approach and just do your own thing and leave others out of it!
This is a free speech world! I dont think this is tearing down at all. Its is fine to disagree with anyone he wants to and voice it in order to help others. Dr. Doug is using current research and data. He does the most research in my opinion. Dr Doug is the best on current research and what the data is showing.
@@LesleyMowat Way to point out the obvious there genius on free speech...we ALL know this already. Doug is trying to build himself on the notion of tearing down Berg...it's unethical and he lost this subscriber due to it.

Part of our mission is to provide clarity on information that has multiple perspectives to guide our followers in the right path. We do not want to tear anyone down but it is in good heart to provide our experience and thoughts with others in order to be fully transparent with our community.

I still fully support them and highly look up to Dr. Berg. I am very glad to hear that he has been helpful to you!
@@Dr_DougLucas Your 3 minute explanation just told me more than your entire video as far as what you were messaging to your viewers, it came off somewhat negative to me regardless of what your intentions were. Thank you for being completely clear with your response. Collaboration would've have been fantastic, you honorable doctors should be working together to some extent, I know everyone can get with someone all of the time, but just some effort that I've seen with other doctors like Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Sean Baker and Berg would be outstanding unless someone isn't interested then that's on them. I feel you are definitely on the right side of the medical issues of chronic illness...keep on the right side and I believe it will pay off! I'll consider watching again after you being stand up enough to respond!
I would never subscribe to a channel that discredits one of its competitors in the title. That's just wrong. You could still have had a clear-meaning title and left your criticism of Dr Berg until the video content. That's not the kind of personality I would follow. I won't be subscribing on principle. I wish you well.
Same here....I unsubscribed this morning, I know Berg and he's been the reason why I feel the best I have in decades, the man knows his stuff! My wife has benefited greatly as well from Bergs health and nutritional advice!
I think the point is missed here. Dr. Doug received a number of inquiries about a particular video of Dr. Berg’s which prompted him to create this video. He is primarily asserting that because Dr. Berg does not identify age groups within his video content, his information does not apply to postmenopausal women.. Maybe Dr. Berg should have specified this in his video? Dr. Doug is making sure people have all the facts on BHRT, (which I am immensely grateful for)…Misinformation can come from anywhere and regardless if one approves of this Video title, we need to be open to alternative views on all platforms. As a postmenopausal woman with severe osteoporosis, Dr. Doug has truly been a saviour for me and many others as we navigate our way through this without embracing the pharmaceutical route. To each their own.
@@dipago2347 I think your point along with Dougs are misguided...first off how old is the video, secondly Berg might have already addressed this, thirdly some items here could easily been taken out of context, Doug doesn't show the entire video, he only shows portions. Bottom line is that it's VERY shady to criticize someone like Berg who has been spot on with SO MANY health and nutrition points, what Doug SHOULD have done was just stay in his lane and do his own video addressing this subject without pulling anyone else into it and try to prove someone wrong who has been so right on so many subjects. He lost a subscriber due to it, I can't continue to follow a guy who has this kind of nature in him.
@@dipago2347 Is it possible that it is you who has missed the point? I referred only to Dr Doug's attack on another doctor's reputation and not on the reliability of any advice given - which you have incorrectly alluded to. In short, no health channel on RUclips is ever going to give out advice that is 100% correct 100% of the time. And that includes Dr Dough's channel and Dr Berg's channel. Health is an ever evolving subject so advice becomes outdated with the passage of time. Being right 100% of the time is therefore impossible.
For this reason it is highly unprofessional of Dr Doug to publicly besmirch another doctor's reputation just because (in his opinion) that doctor's past advice is now outdated. Dr Doug has lowered his own credibility by doing this. Better to let the quality of his own advice raise his reputation rather than try and lower the reputation of others. There's a good reason why other doctors with RUclips channels do not attack one another. Because they are smart enough to know that doing so is unprofessional and reflects badly on their own degree of ethics and reputation. Which leads one to question Dr Doug's level of intelligence.
@@dipago2347 Is it possible that it is you who has missed the point? They referred only to Dr Doug's attack on another doctor's reputation and not on the reliability of any advice given. No health channel on RUclips is ever going to give out advice that is 100% correct 100% of the time. Health is an ever evolving subject so advice becomes outdated with the passage of time. Being right 100% of the time is therefore impossible.
For this reason it is highly unprofessional of Dr Doug to publicly besmirch another doctor's reputation just because (in his opinion) that doctor's past advice is now outdated. Better to let the quality of his own advice raise his reputation rather than try and lower the reputation of others. There is a good reason why other doctors with RUclips channels do not attack one another. Because they are smart enough to know that doing so is unprofessional and reflects badly on their own degree of ethics and reputation. In other words, Dr Doug's decision to engage in such unprofessional activity only leads people to question Dr Doug's own level of intelligence.
Yeh you like and respect him so much you had to Mention his name and him being wrong when you could have just uploaded a video and not mentioned another doctor . Not good
Hi, our channel was created to provide clarity for a community of people that often feel very conflicted and overwhelmed. If we did not want to help we would sit back and agree with every opinion and discussion even if we do not agree. That is not our mission, we strive for transparency and honesty. It simply does not feel right to not share my opinion with my listeners when I do not agree with an extremely important and often confusing topic. This does not mean we disagree with every discussion on Dr. Bergs channel, he is extremely knowledgeable!

The Womens' Health Initiative itself had an "arm" or subset of women who had no uterus. They were given the Premarin without an opposing progestogen. This subset of women had reduced breast cancer risk. Therefore, I concluded that it is the progestogen that raised breast cancer risk. I was a cell biology researcher looking for a treatment for my 70-year old mother who had fallen while hiking and broke both her wrists. After beginning transdermal estradiol (the patch) and micronized oral progesterone, she never broke another bone in the rest of her life. She lived to 94 and fell several times.
Wow - awesome share - thx. Is the progesterone cream Natragest any good? I use that about 5 days/ week...
@@pointshealthcoaching8474 Dr Doug would know. I have been using micronized oral progesterone for 24 years, since my own perimenopause.
Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you. I found your comment very promising and insightful. Am I to understand that your mother continued taking estradial parch and micronised oral progesterone into her 90s? I would very much appreciate further communication with you if that is acceptable.

Dr Doug did not tear Dr Berg down. He presented data as he always does. Dr Berg has been and will continue to be a great resource on many health topics. Listening to many experts is how we learn and therefore can make our own decisions for our health care. Not sure why you took this so personally.
Yes he did...the video obviously shows this and Doug lost this subscriber due to it.
He did not lit the studies
Thank you! I appreciate you seeing this the way I did when creating this video!
I will still follow DR Berg.Im 62 with no problem with hormones!!!!I Eat CLEAN!!!
Wow! Immature cult mentality. Are you also a Scientologist?! Doug is professional in his delivery, your lost.
How old is the video made by Dr Berg? This topic is SO confusing due to the Women’s Health Initiative study from about 15 years ago. I’d like to see more research done on post menopausal women.
His video was from 5 years ago. The problem is that most doctors only read the conclusion--or even worse, listen to media headlines. They don't really look into the details of studies. That's why we need Dr. Doug.
Yes! We will keep that in mind to dive deeper into for a future video
Dr Marty Makary has a new book coming out on this subject on Sept 17. I listened recently to an interview he did on this subject.
Thank you Dr. Lucas for the clarification video on this topic. Whenever I have questions about things I read or see, I always do lots of research.
I’m on HRT to help prevent the bad stuff from happening and I’ll stay on it for as long as I can. Videos such as this help women make better choices for themselves. 🙏
Thank you for watching! I am glad to hear this video was helpful!
Dr Berg's video is old. He looks different now than on the video.
He still has a lot of good info on many topics.
However, as for osteoporosis, I like to follow Dr. Lucas 😊
Yes! He's great, just wanted to share thoughts on this specific discussion. Thank you for watching!
Dr Berg and many others believe that the body does not need chemically produced substances but by living healthy lifestyle live happy and healthy. I like and apply both approaches.
Awesome info video I am 62 years old and dealing with low thyroid issues thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
The data for reduced breast cancer risk in the subset of women who did not take medroxyprogesterone acetate is right there in the original Womens' Health Initiative article. It is so annoying to me that it took decades for medical professionals to notice this.
Thank you for sharing!
I completely disagree! I have taken Dr. Berg's advice and healed my adrenals and menopause symptoms. Not only does Dr.Berg look amazing, which I never take advice from someone who doesn't look healthy or have what I am looking for, he gives solid advice and it works. If you want to make your own videos about health, do so, but don't say other people are wrong, especially those that are actually helping a lot of folks. If you believe in what you are saying, you don't have to prove other people are wrong to make your point. Dr.Berg rocks!
Thank you for sharing your perspective! I agree that Dr. Berg has helped many people, and his insights resonate with a wide audience. However, I feel it’s also important to respectfully discuss differing viewpoints when the evidence or approaches don't align. My goal isn’t to discredit anyone but to present balanced information so viewers can make informed choices. Healthy debate and diversity of thought help everyone grow and find what works best for their unique needs. I appreciate your input and passion for health topics!
@Dr_DougLucas You're response to my message, which I thank you for, certainly comes across a lot different than your title to the video. You definitely were stating in big bold letters that Dr. Berg is wrong...how can he be wrong when his advice worked for me and so many others? Like I stated before, you don't have to prove someone wrong to share your information.
Appreciate your comments and clarification on hormones, Dr Doug.
And it's good to hear that you like Dr. Berg. He's helped educate millions of people to help us try and stay healthy.
Yes! Thank you for watching
True
Labeling something bioidenticle vs synthetic is not a guarantee that either is more safe or more effective. Example - pure T3 for thyroid replacement is Cytomel / liothyronine & it's synthetic- it works well and there aren't side effects if used / prescribed properly.
He didn't say that. This was specific to the hormones, and he also said that even the bioidentical ones are technically synthetic.
Yes! Thank you for explaining this :)
Premarin, aside from its health effect, is a monstrous abuse of horses. It is a sick industry.
The term, “bio-identical” is a made up marketing term, not a medical term. It was created as a way for the compounding industry to hoodwink women after the WHI study was leaked to the media without going through peer review. It doesn’t confer safety especially as all hormones (including from a compound pharmacy) are created in labs and could therefore be considered “synthetic.”
Everyone has different opinions. I usually don’t know who or what to believe.
I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate through all the health recommendations out there. Remember, small, manageable changes can add up to big results over time.
@@Dr_DougLucas yes. 👍
First see whether the presenter has an MD / DO degree or is the presenter a chiropractor/ health coach/ blogger etc. in you tube half of the doctors are not doctors at all. Generally go with the degreed doctors with MD /DO degree. Do your own research also
Go for the natural way. In the medical field, they make you pledge to say just what the system wants. In here, the main interest is money from the Big Pharma, and in this video, of course, this Dr is going to defend his fiel, I'm not against him, don't take me wrong g, but whenever possible keep your reproductive organs with you, follow Dr Berg health tips, the pharma lies, again, its all about money, God bless you, take care of your diet ❤
I find all of this interesting, still wanting to lean on natural approaches not synthetic or bio identical hormones. Our bodies were not made to depend on these. My grandmother’s never took them on both sides of the family, they ate well, moved often, got out in nature and lived into their 90’s. We were not built to depend on pharmaceuticals. We just have to take the time to research what nature offers.
Thank you for sharing!
Yeah, and people died because of infections, illnesses that are being cured nowadays.
@@summerbird4288 I’m talking about how my grandparents and great grandparents took care of themselves and lived a very long life on both sides of my family. I choose not to use pharmaceuticals and follow in their footsteps. Every one is entitled to choose their own path. Our path has served us well as none of my family is on medications. It has been a challenge to find natural sources of healing but it’s worth it.
I have listened to Dr Berg and read his book but many of his opinions never really resonate with me. I feel like he doesn’t “get” post menopausal women and our unique challenges and he tends to be very “one size fits all”
Thank you for sharing this!
Yeah I live Dr Berg many of his research ideas have helped me. But nothing wrong with a different assessment. Glad to hear your perspective.
Yes! He's great, just wanted to share thoughts on this specific discussion. Thank you for watching!
I love Dr. Berg! This video of his seems quite old … I wonder what his current thoughts might be.
Exactly, there is one thing about Berg, he is good to correct something if he did get something wrong which at this point has been seldom, he's generally great with his research and my health is proof of that!
@@shawnlewis1918 yes. i agree. that’s probably why he has so many subscribers. i know i’m always interested in what he has to say.

Dr Doug, Does bioidentical HRT increase risk of stroke in post menopausal women?
Great question! Checkout our health span nation if you have not yet, you get exclusive access to me and a community of people pursuing health and longevity. These are things that we discuss in there and it allows us to go into detail rather than doing short chats through this platform. You can find more information here --> www.drdouglucas.com/healthspan
@@Dr_DougLucas Not an adequate answer to this person' question.
Non-oral estrogen greatly reduces the risk of blood clots or stroke. For example, transdermal Estradiol patch is a very popular “bio-identical” medication that many menopause practitioners prescribe to their patients.
So we have to do our own research (I do). But as a lay person it's often difficult to know how to spot the corrupted and falsified research so I've also been reading books exposing and explaining the tricks used not only to sell medications but to push scans and tests etc. But I now feel I'm left swinging in the wind trusting no one.
I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate through all the health recommendations out there. Remember, small, manageable changes can add up to big results over time.
@@Dr_DougLucas How do we know?, it seems that scientists agree with whoever funds them these days?
@andrealagunas2745 I agree. The research is funded and swayed to suit a narrative.
I really dislike the phrase 'older' because what does that mean exactly? Dr. Doug I am so happy you keep focussing on this topic of hormones. It is so fundamental to our lives and yet still there is much confusion for post menopausal women on what steps to take and how to find valid information. Outside the US even harder.
I am very glad to hear that this video was helpful. Thank you for watching!
There's also enough evidence and studies showing that higher levels of estrogen (during postmenopausal) will be preventive for Alzheimer's disease, Osteoporosis, and cardiovascular health. Thank you for this!
Thank you for sharing
Im 66 and still on estrogen therapy. Should i stop..so confusing.
If it's working for you and you trust your medical providers then don't over think it on the internet.
I agree if it’s working for you continue ❤
If it is working for you, there is no reason you should need to stop.
No!! You are doing the right thing, the loss of estrogen destroys women, skin, hair , body weight, mental balance, bones and heart health…
I did bioidentical Wiley Protocol HRT for 12 years post menopausal. However, I did develop breast cancer with no genetic markers or family history. Caught early & i'm okay. But HRT can increase your chances of Breast cancer. My primary doctor told me this - but I didn't listen to her. But went with anti aging doc advice. Up until this year my bones were Normal. Now have osteopenia 3.5 yrs after stopping HRT. Doctor needs to do the risk/benefit & advise according to your specific situation. But their advice may be colored by their specialty, sigh.
I love you all but I have to disagree about this. I took these longer than 5 years and ended up going on Tamoxifen for 5 years because of estrogen positive. (preventive) I think maybe if it isn't in your family you will have a better chance of this working. I just can't agree. So sorry that I don't agree but just want some women to do this cautiously.
Happy to hear all is well now. Could you please explain at what age you started hrt and what kind? How many years. Everyone is different but every story counts.
Would like to know if you were taking oral estrogen?

I really hate how the medical community can't help me through such a massive change in my body.

That is very, very, very old video of Mr Berg. Like 8 years ago? Secondly the corrected studies on hormones have being publised only recetly. Back 4 years ago still majority of doctors claimed that all HRT means cancer and stroke 🙄🙄
Yes, maybe he will create an updated one in the future! We fully support Dr. Berg but have had many comments about this topic leaving listeners very confused and felt it was necessary to share our thoughts to hopefully provide clarity!
I’m 67. No uterus no ovaries. Can beginning HRT for the first time at this age benefit my health?

If you think that the body is malfunctioning when it goes into menopause, then you'll think that it's a condition that needs correcting. I personally think that nature changes these hormone levels for a reason and the the body is not malfunctioning. I'm not going to take hormones to keep my levels unnaturally high because I don't think I know more than nature.

Besides being expensive, Pellets are not tested, regulated, or studied. You do not know what you’re getting as they’re not FDA approved or covered by insurance. Legitimate doctors do not recommend them and doctors that do are just after your money (grifters) as pellets are a very profitable revenue stream for them.

It's such a strong pressure on women to take HRT, I almost feel something's wrong with me since I don't feel I need anything to help me through this stage of life.

Excellent information. I'm beginning my journey to understand my 64 year old body. I was on HRT from 52 to 60. It got rid of my significant hot flashes and other frustrating issues. They refused to continue due to stroke risk. I now wonder why they didn't switch me to a bioidentical at low dose patch and pill. The NAMS Position Statement of 2022 is significant for me as I age. The health benefits are important to those of us at this age if appropriate. I now understand the true risks and the truth about the Womens Health Initiative. Why the truth, when it came out, wasn't promoted was, in my opinion, harmful to women.

Where are the studies? Would like to read about them too.
ah someone who understands at last! I feel sorry for this doctor that a lot of these viewers are having a go at, it is so unfair. He was just trying to correct and error and show why he said what he did!
The Dr. Berg video is one of his older videos. He may have revised his thinking since then. I don’t think he is averse to admitting it when he is wrong, especially since knowledge in the health care arena is ever evolving.
One thing I will fault him on in the video is he has written on the board hormone replacement for “older women”. We do know that once women go into menopause estrogen and progesterone tanks, and even though our adrenal glands can make these hormones, they are not made in anywhere near the volume they were when our ovaries were making them.

WHY DONT YOU TRY TO "READ BETWEEN THE LINES" This doctor merely stated what he believed was wrong because Dr. berg stated there has never been any studies? This doctor states there is! You are wrong to knock this doctor down too!
DHEA supplemtation for the sex hormones…
Not good for everyone. They make my stomach upset
Thank you for watching!
i'd be a bit careful with DHEA supplementation? I was also interested in this, but they could be a bit dangerous. I would do further research if i was you, to make absolutely sure they will be safe to use.
Get tested first to see if you are low ….
Just like vitamin D.
One thing I want to add here most of your health care physicians don’t put as much emphasis on women’s hormones either you need to go to perhaps an endocrinologist or a female, gynecologist or male gynecologist, which ever OB/GYN, but the average doctor in my experience when I asked to have my hormones checked different levels they were not really concerned now I am post menopausal I am 67. I’ve had a hysterectomy they should’ve so finally. I had to find someone who looked at it on a regular basis and that may be what you have to do and then you make a decision from there there’s wild, yam creams there’s a lot of things out there that you can use if you’re worried about synthetics.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Dr. Berg is usually spot on. You have your opinion but Dr. Bergs explanations and what to do have always worked for me.
We love Dr. Berg! Just sharing thoughts on this specific discussion.
What is Evista?
Checkout the video on my channel called "If This Drug Protects from Osteoporosis and Breast Cancer Why Don't We Use It? Raloxifene/Evista."
I’m pretty sure when you take these prescriptions , you will be dancing in the streets, in matching outfits, just LOVING your life!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Agree dr. At certain age we are not fertile anymore. So hormones are low 💚
Thank you for sharing!
GREAT VIDEO!!
Thank you for watching!!
Dr Berg's old video
Yes, maybe he will create an updated one in the future!
Sorry…just because he has a title doctor, doesn’t mean his speciality is in the field …Dr. Burg is a chiropractor…not an endocrinologist…so, It would be like letting a pediatrist operate on my brain instead of a neurologist …not gonna happen…I believe he needs to stick to his field of speciality….,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 i did notice Dr Berg was very wrong because menopause can not be fix with diet. Thank you for this video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Diet changed my life. Its all I needed to reverse menopause symptoms
@@dilletanteproprietor reverse menopause does not exist. Is a natural process of the body. Diet may help easy symptoms but its does not mean internal impact of lack of hormones are not happening in the body. Diet does not reverse menopause.
@@dilletanteproprietoronly time i completely got rid of my symptoms was carnivore high fat diet but I don’t want to do that forever .
Dr Berg can’t even get his grammar correct. I don’t watch him because he has presented facts in the past that are inaccurate that this former nurse picked up on straight away. Any product derived from horses involves animal cruelty to obtain hormones as the horses have a miserable life and are repeatedly aborted in order to harvest the hormones at the optimum time. The hormones are collected from blood and from urine. The latter involves the animal living it’s life in a stall with a bag tied to it’s back end to catch the urine. The former runs down the horses health from repeated blood loss.
Thank you for sharing
i WAS READING SOMETHING ABOUT THE HORSES AND THE URINE. THEY RECKONED THE MALE HORSES ARE OF NO USE AFTER AND HAVE THEM SLAUGHTERED.I THINK ITS A DISGRACE. POOR ANIMALS.
@@Rosina2727 I didn’t know that stallions are also used to harvest hormones. I guess testosterone is requires, especially for transgender patients. That has given me food for thought. I wonder, would they transition if they were aware of this?
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
With all due respect, dr Berg explains all that many times in DIFFERENT videos.
Thank you for sharing
Why not just go natural?! I’m trying to understand your statement!!! There is much research about your freaking diet!!! Like getting your diet clean and get off sugar!!! Eat a healthy nuts and seeds and veggies and use a wild yam root!!!
Hi! I suggest skipping ahead to the closing summary. You can find keynotes in the description :)
Dr. Berg is wrong on lots of topics. I tell my friends, just remember Berg is bad.
Thank you for sharing. We are in support of Dr. Berg but definitely felt it was necessary to share our thoughts on this discussion.
Dr Berg is OFTEN wrong. Stopped watching him years ago
And you're a fool, Berg has helped me AND my wife address several chronic issues....I'm now in the best shape and health of my life due to Berg...so you apparently have your head up your ...
I’m not dissing chiropractors, but isn’t that his educational base? He gets into some stuff that’s just out of his wheelhouse, I think
Jealous
@@waytogo11 Exactly, I'm always amazed at the few fools that try to claim that Berg is a quack...especially when you are living proof that what he preaches works!
Thank you for sharing this!
I stopped watching Dr. Berg a looooong time ago.
Thank you for sharing!
Please berg presents as an expert...hes a scientologist for gods sake.
Yep!
Berg has helped me and my wife deal with several chronic issues...Berg knows his stuff when it comes to health, I'm living proof. My wife loves him now, don't get personal with the Scientology, no one really knows if that's even true because of a disgruntled son claiming this, and I feel Scientology is a scam and regardless whether he's a part of it or not it's really none of our business, as long as the man gives solid health and nutrition advice based on actual honest research, that's all I need to know! You are doing yourself a HUGE disservice if you ignore his videos, he's the MOST informative individual on this platform, there is a reason why he has over 11 million subscribers....that's not by accident, the word gets around when you are on the mark!
Apples and Oranges... I've been listening to Dr Berg for several years, and have Never heard any comment or impression that he relates his health practice to Scientology.
So what? That’s not what his channel is about. Do you investigate the religious beliefs of everyone you watch on RUclips?😂
Yes! He is great
Hormone therapy violates the laws of nature. Diet is the critical factor. Are toxic food in America is the issue. Eat pure.
Thank you for sharing
Who the HELL watches, or listens to, "Dr" Berg?!?
Many people!
@@Dr_DougLucas Yup me too! That dont mean to say i believe in everything he says! lol. But he is a likeable character.
I have followed Dr. Berg for a few years now, he has helped me and my wife address several minor chronic issues based on his advice from deep research. I'm not saying he is perfect but he's pretty close based on my experience and what seems to be MOST people who follow him which is OVER 11 million subscribers so I really wouldn't go here if I were you, there is a reason why Dr. Berg has that many subscribers. I can tell you that now I will unsubscribe just from the fact that instead of you just giving YOUR version of what you believe you chose to try and tear a VERY reputable man down just because you didn't agree with his approach, you don't have to agree with him, just do your own video instead of trying to build yourself up by tearing someone down which I would believe Berg over you since Berg has been the one that has been EXTREMELY helpful for me and my wife address chronic issues over the past few years. The guy is spot on with everything that I've experienced. So way to go on losing a subscriber....try a different approach and instead of trying to tear someone else down, you should try Bergs approach and just do your own thing and leave others out of it!
In total agreement. There is no need to have mentioned his name. Just present your lecture and base it on scientific evidence.I'm equally upset. 15:52
This is a free speech world! I dont think this is tearing down at all. Its is fine to disagree with anyone he wants to and voice it in order to help others. Dr. Doug is using current research and data. He does the most research in my opinion. Dr Doug is the best on current research and what the data is showing.
@@LesleyMowat Way to point out the obvious there genius on free speech...we ALL know this already. Doug is trying to build himself on the notion of tearing down Berg...it's unethical and he lost this subscriber due to it. DO YOUR OWN THING..that is what Berg does because he's a class act and it's why he has over 11 million subscribers! How many subscribers does Doug have.....I rest my case!
Hi! Thank you for sharing your opinion. We are in full support of Dr. Berg and have followed him for a very long time. Part of our mission is to provide clarity on information that has multiple perspectives to guide our followers in the right path. We do not want to tear anyone down but it is in good heart to provide our experience and thoughts with others in order to be fully transparent with our community. If I was not doing my own thing I would not say anything and simply agree with every doctor or specialist above me even if I do not but that simply does not feel right. I still fully support them and highly look up to Dr. Berg. I am very glad to hear that he has been helpful to you!
@@Dr_DougLucas Your 3 minute explanation just told me more than your entire video as far as what you were messaging to your viewers, it came off somewhat negative to me regardless of what your intentions were. Thank you for being completely clear with your response. Collaboration would've have been fantastic, you honorable doctors should be working together to some extent, I know everyone can get with someone all of the time, but just some effort that I've seen with other doctors like Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Sean Baker and Berg would be outstanding unless someone isn't interested then that's on them. I feel you are definitely on the right side of the medical issues of chronic illness...keep on the right side and I believe it will pay off! I'll consider watching again after you being stand up enough to respond!
I would never subscribe to a channel that discredits one of its competitors in the title. That's just wrong. You could still have had a clear-meaning title and left your criticism of Dr Berg until the video content. That's not the kind of personality I would follow. I won't be subscribing on principle. I wish you well.
Same here....I unsubscribed this morning, I know Berg and he's been the reason why I feel the best I have in decades, the man knows his stuff! My wife has benefited greatly as well from Bergs health and nutritional advice!
I think the point is missed here. Dr. Doug received a number of inquiries about a particular video of Dr. Berg’s which prompted him to create this video. He is primarily asserting that because Dr. Berg does not identify age groups within his video content, his information does not apply to postmenopausal women.. Maybe Dr. Berg should have specified this in his video? Dr. Doug is making sure people have all the facts on BHRT, (which I am immensely grateful for)…Misinformation can come from anywhere and regardless if one approves of this Video title, we need to be open to alternative views on all platforms. As a postmenopausal woman with severe osteoporosis, Dr. Doug has truly been a saviour for me and many others as we navigate our way through this without embracing the pharmaceutical route. To each their own.
@@dipago2347 I think your point along with Dougs are misguided...first off how old is the video, secondly Berg might have already addressed this, thirdly some items here could easily been taken out of context, Doug doesn't show the entire video, he only shows portions. Bottom line is that it's VERY shady to criticize someone like Berg who has been spot on with SO MANY health and nutrition points, what Doug SHOULD have done was just stay in his lane and do his own video addressing this subject without pulling anyone else into it and try to prove someone wrong who has been so right on so many subjects. He lost a subscriber due to it, I can't continue to follow a guy who has this kind of nature in him.
@@dipago2347 Is it possible that it is you who has missed the point? I referred only to Dr Doug's attack on another doctor's reputation and not on the reliability of any advice given - which you have incorrectly alluded to.
In short, no health channel on RUclips is ever going to give out advice that is 100% correct 100% of the time. And that includes Dr Dough's channel and Dr Berg's channel. Health is an ever evolving subject so advice becomes outdated with the passage of time. Being right 100% of the time is therefore impossible.
For this reason it is highly unprofessional of Dr Doug to publicly besmirch another doctor's reputation just because (in his opinion) that doctor's past advice is now outdated. Dr Doug has lowered his own credibility by doing this. Better to let the quality of his own advice raise his reputation rather than try and lower the reputation of others.
There's a good reason why other doctors with RUclips channels do not attack one another. Because they are smart enough to know that doing so is unprofessional and reflects badly on their own degree of ethics and reputation. Which leads one to question Dr Doug's level of intelligence.

Yeh you like and respect him so much you had to
Mention his name and him being wrong when you could have just uploaded a video and not mentioned another doctor . Not good
That is respectful, honest and upfront.
Hi, our channel was created to provide clarity for a community of people that often feel very conflicted and overwhelmed. If we did not want to help we would sit back and agree with every opinion and discussion even if we do not agree. That is not our mission, we strive for transparency and honesty. It simply does not feel right to not share my opinion with my listeners when I do not agree with an extremely important and often confusing topic. This does not mean we disagree with every discussion on Dr. Bergs channel, he is extremely knowledgeable!
