    ⚬ My preferred magnesium supplement amzn.to/3K4wUfh
    💙 I am not adding any other hormones...and my patch dosage is correct. I am adding 2 supplements to my daily routine. I didn't want to disclose those in the video because they are specific to me/my medical situation. And I don't want other women to take them just because I am...and they may not be right for her. But Midi did go over all of my medications and we discussed each thing individually to make sure it was correct for my situation :)

    Across the board - women are NOT getting the right treatment for menopause. I heard from a doctor that they only get one hour of training regarding menopause. I booked a menopause specialist and can't get in until August. Due to my insurance, I could not use MIDI. I have ALL the unpleasant symptoms including belly fat and I've discussed with my regular doctor and GYN got no answers.

    I just turned 79. When I turned 60, I went to a lecture by an OBGYN. He took over the practice of a retiring doctor who just did Bioidentical Hormone Replacement. This is a yearly blood test to check hormone levels and then take a prescription to a compounding pharmacy where they make up a three months supply of a cream just for me. It consists of progesterone, testosterone, estradiol and estriol. I put the cream on twice a day. As I said this has been something that I have done the last twenty years and I wish I had started sooner! You are so right about finding a doctor that understands that Menopause is more than just hot flashes! The more that I have read over the years about how hormones affect you mentally, physically and emotionally the more I try to do what I can to help others going forward! Thank you so sincerely for sharing your journey…..❤️❤️❤️

    Wish this was available to me years ago when I went through menopause. I too, was disappointed with my regular doctor's response to my menopause questions - I wanted to talk about newer therapies - like bioidentical hormones and supplements I read about- and they basically handed me a prescription for depression medication and sent me on my way. (Which I didn't take) Went to multiple drs in my area but got the same response. It was a rough couple of years, but I made it through! Glad you had a good visit - right from your own home!

    I just returned from a visit with a GYN who is not in favor of prescribing HRT for women over 60. I am 67 and was never on HRT and never had any of my physicians ever broach the subject with me. Although I no longer have hot flashes, I still have a constellation of symptoms (muscle/joint pain, brain fog, sleep issues, mood) that I feel in my heart would benefit from HRT. I have been hearing about Midi Health recently and your YT video after that disappointing doctor visit was like a message from the universe to keep trying. I will be contacting them for an appointment. Thanks again for partnering with them to keep your viewers informed.

    My Urologist (a man) wound up being the person who said I was probably suffering from low hormones. He did the test and I was a dead zero for estrogen and testosterone. Now I’m on the pellets which last 2-4 months(sub -cutaneous) and they have made a big difference in my well being. Ladies get an in depth hormone test! Gyno and family dr just don’t typically help with this area of health. Get your husbands tested too!

    I work at an OB/Gyn office, have for 22yrs, and I am still booking a Midi Health appt. You're correct...today's OB/Gyn's do not have enough training in Menopause specifically...there's so much demand on them in regards to OB health/care that it's overwhelming. So...if you do not have a Gynecologist that specializes in Gynecology &/or menopause...likely they're not the elite expert in said field (specialist yes...expert...maybe...). They know enough do not get me wrong, but when it comes to all the supplements and nutrition and how our bodies change and adaptation to and through menopause....not likely. I was intrigued based on Renee's review for sure! Thanks as always Renee!!!

    Supplemental fiber is key per Dr Haver. Also strength training is a must. She even recommends wearing a weighted vest during workouts and walks. She believes visceral fat can be eliminated and should be, based on what you eat (avoid inflammatory foods). I’m 60 and she has taught me so much. Best shape of my life thanks to Dr Haver and Sydney Cummings (workouts on RUclips). Turmeric is another supplement that she recommends.

    I love this topic as I've been on HRT for 5-6 years. I know what you mean about the accumulation of belly fat. I never had that before starting HRT. I look pregnant. I just stopped taking my hormones a few days ago to see if things change and so I can get a grip on the belly fat, but not sure if I can endure all the other symptoms that might return. We shall see. Luckily I do have a great gynecologist and can treat some of my symptoms individually.

    Thank you for sharing this video! I’m very lucky that I work with a doctor who manages all of my hormones- bio-identical and thyroid (I have Hashimoto’s). I pay out of pocket to work with him but it’s worth it because I could not find doctors who would work together under my insurance to manage my hormone care. He thoroughly tests me for everything through blood work and urine testing so that he can adjust dosages accordingly. I’m not 100% sure about this but I thought if you are on estrogen therapy you have to also be taking progesterone….I will confirm this at my next appointment. I take thyroid medication every morning and I have to wait an hour before drinking any caffeine as the caffeine interferes with the absorption of the meds. A lot of folks don’t know this because doctors fail to communicate this info….I hope this helps someone. 💗🌸

    I had a hysterectomy in my late 30s. Went on hormone replacement therapy for about 15 years. Finally my dr said I needed to come off of the hormones. Well of course the hot flashes and night sweats came on with a vengeance. I finally asked my physician assistant mentioned that he’d heard of someone taking magnesium and it might help. I immediately went to the drug store and bought the magnesium. Long story short, now I’m 65, and it’s been years since I’ve had a hot flash. Make sure you take it at least a month without skipping to give it time to get into your system. Works wonders for me.

I am in menopause and I’m afraid to take anything like HRT because of what he told me. The one thing that has hit me hard in menopause is how easily I can get depressed or just not care about anything. I was not like this before menopause. I wonder if any supplements could help me with this. Thanks for the video!

      Hello, I saw your post and thought I'd comment. I started HRT three weeks ago due to being placed in surgical menopause. I did my research in advance because my grandmother passed from breast cancer. HRT is not ideal for everyone, like if there is a strong family history of breast cancer, blood clots, or endometriosis. You may want to gauge your risk based on that and your doctor's recommendation. There's several studies now that show that more women benefit from HRT from a bone health, and heart health perspective. Look up Dr. Marie Claire Haver to see more recent information via RUclips. It may help give you some talking points to discuss with your physician.

    Renee that belly fat you are experiencing isn’t necessarily at all from menopause but instead unfortunately from the full hysterectomy which you can look up what happens after that- our organs all shift to occupy the space where the organs were that were removed. Everything shifts downward and the skin goes with it and causes a “pouch” around the midsection. I am not sure how to combat it but I know other people same thing happened to and they are fit women and very active but pouch is there only and began some time after hysterectomy. Look it up so you can see what I mean. Great videos and thank you for all you do to help us women!

But it provided invaluable information because 2 of my medications/supplements were in conflict. So glad I know this now.

    Your menopause specialist sounds very much like the treatment I received from my naturopath. I luv my family doctor but she is often quick to suggest big pharma solutions as opposed to delving into alternative solutions. I just wish I could have had my menopause symptoms treated by my naturopath when I had my hysterectomy over 30+ years ago. It’s always so satisfying when we finally find a practitioner who listens to us as opposed to someone who is trying to rush through the allotted time before seeing her next patient.

    Seems like no one is looking into the high cholesterol women are getting after a hysterectomy or mentapause. Maybe they need more HRT? Instead of a statin cholesterol medication. There is also more heart disease and bone density issues without HRT as well. Most Drs don't know anything about these issues and have an old school midset from old outdated incorrect data on HRT.

    Hi Renee, Another great video. My week only has two days: Tuesday and Friday the days when you release your videos! Did you get an answer from her as to why you suddenly have developed a fat apron or pouch as you call it? My Mother used to call it a "spare tire". Would love to know why or the cause and also how to get rid of it. Thanks again

    • @WelcomeToMyCurls
      @WelcomeToMyCurls  4 месяца назад

      LOL yay! I didn't ask her "what" was causing the pouch. My question was more around how to get rid of it. We talked about protein, fiber and carb intake as I shared in the video. She also recommended a plant-based supplement that has been shown to specifically reduce belly fat in post-menopausal women. I've been taking it for 5 days now. I didn't want to name it in the video because I can't recommend that it will or will not work. Once I've been on it for a while and have results to share (or not), I'll share a video.

    Hi - Unfortunately doctors have quotas now for how many patients they have to see in a day when they don't work for themselves. The healthcare in this country is changing and I think it's worrisome and artificial intelligence is going to make it worse. AI will be deciding our care and what is prescribed in the future. One of my doctors has discussed this on YT. Sounds like you found a great solution to this issue. We have to be our own advocate for our health because the medical community is changing and the focus is profit not patients!

I saw a menopause specialist before and after (Dr. Naomi Potter in the UK) and am very grateful I did. The service they provide is exceptional and worth the cost - it is private. Still trying to get my HRT dosage right - it is a journey if you struggle with dermal absorption. I have been on the 100 plus / 30 ratio for 6 months and introduced heavy weight lifting - my belly fat has gone. There are some great gals on insta following this same journey.

    I’ve been so disillusioned with GP/specialist experiences for years now. Feel rushed, leave without answers, feel that if l don’t ask all the questions, information is not provided. Also, don’t assume that your dr remembers/checks interactions of the medication you’re on- ask them to check. I know they are overwhelmed, covid was a taxing time and government changes have not been kind. Advocate and seek other opinions if your not satisfied...... but easier said than done with the expense hey.
