On hrt I couldn’t lose a pound. Doctor was saying it’s not the hrt. The minute I got off it, the weight dropped in 2 weeks back to normal. Just don’t get on hormone replacement therapy if you want to lose weight. Just live with the hot flashes at vag dryness
Same with me. Doctor denying link to weight gain. Stopped HRT and dropped 4 pounds in 10 days!!! But my joints ached so I went back on hrt but asked for lowest dose. Hopefully this helps strike the balance between post menopausal symptom management and weight management
Raspberry leaf tea and ky love
Ever since I started HTR I'm using estradiol patch omg I've gained alot of weight already just in a few months from 120 to 145 and I was thinking I'm gonna stop taking it to see if I can lose weight because it only seems like I keep gaining
HRT gels made me go from a UK/IRL size 8 to a size 14. Its almost double the size. It's all on my thighs, midsection and bum. I couldn't have a healthier lifestyle- plant based wholegrain vegan diet, yoga, beach walking, stay away from anyone who causes stress, drink water, no alcohol or medications etc.
Still put on a tonne of weight on hrt. Coming off it. Would rather breathe through anything that comes up.
Hey, I’m curious if you’ve found out if lower levels of estrogen and progesterone (from HRT) helped yet. Or the addition of testosterone? which I know nothing about yet. I’m curious because my mental health needs the HRT, but I gained 25 lbs. I’m going to see my obgyn soon to find out how to lower this hilarious but embarrassing fat around my belly and hips. I’ve been between 115 and 120 my whole life with no effort and am happy at 120. So to gain 25 lbs is a lot for me. Thank you 🩷💜🩷
Hi Dr.Beth, I have been trying to schedule a free 30min call. However, the website says no appointments available anytime soon (not even till April 2020)🙄 can u pls help with scheduling a call? Thank u. I loved your videos and subscribed to ur channel. Very informative.
Just had a mirena coil fitted yesterday. Steady stream of progesterone to my uterus. Wish me luck!
I started with 5 weeks shot of estrogen and testosterone and I started to gain . I WAS FIT going in I’m so angry! Stopped the shots and my doc has no response 😞
Now i understand why i'm skinny while i ate a lot 💔
Glad this helped you to understand.
What is the reason please ?
Wonderful advice! Thank you!
You are welcome!
I'm Transgender MTF and I'm on HRT and this sounds like what I'm struggling with. I've put on lots of weight around my hips, thighs and midsection and my metabolism has slowed down. I've been trying IF and OMAD but don't seem to be losing much weight. I previously lost 20kg over a year or so but can't seem to lose this last stubborn fat. I don't know where to go to get help for this.
So if you’re really skinny and can’t gain weight I’m guessing it might be from low estrogen? I went and had mine tested and they said mine was low but not low enough for them to be concerned all while I’ve been underweight and lack female characteristics my entire life. 🤦♀️ I feel like they should have done more to help me get to a healthy weight instead of brushing it off like nothing.
I would highly recommend the DUTCH test, which will show each individual hormone metabolite that does not show up on a routine blood panel! drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
I'm 73, with a variety of symptoms of imbalance. ie- gaining weight on Keto and intermittant fasting, and some insomnia. I'm trying Estriol cream for about a week, and am gaining weight every week! It's kind of scary! Very dry skin for many years. Any suggestions until I have the extra money for a hormone panel? You're a jewel! Hugs! Elisha
Hi there, unfortunately I am unable to recommend specific things regarding your hormones until I have DUTCH test results, making guesses with hormones can do more harm than good! Insomnia is also indicative of cortisol issues, so I would be very interested to see you test results
Can you have the same problem with low estrogen? Can you tell by the symptoms if you're estrogen dominant or deficient? I don't have dutch testing in my country and my gyn is.. pretty crap. Cant find a good one. Im on prog and cant lose weight anymore
Symptoms can be similar, so testing is really the best way. Can you have the DUTCH test shipped to you?
Great video! 😍
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
What can you suggest for someone like me who started HRT and gained 4 lbs
?
In this case, I would recommend seeing what your cortisol levels are doing, along with your individual hormone metabolites through the DUTCH test
My labs show that my estradiol is at 476.
That’s scares me! I have an appointment to go over my labs with my homeopathic doctor in 3 weeks but I was hoping to get an insight here to what my elevated estradiol could mean??? Any ideas? I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago but still have my ovaries.
It’s very hard to say without seeing all of the results!
I'm so skinny,I try to eat alot and drink shakes but I never gain,I'm dry during intcs,what can I do to gain?
I had a baby 11 months ago and I lost so much weight I’m trying to gain weight is this a healthy weight gain
Hey Dr Beth, last year I tried DIM Detox for a couple of months and I didn't notice any improvements. I started Keto at the start of June 2019 and so far have rid myself of 10kg (22 lbs). But I have noticed my weight loss has slowed down for a couple of months. Not sure if I am oestrogen dominant or not? (last night I woke up in a sweat as it's a couple of days before my periods are due).
It’s hard to say without knowing more about the symptoms you’re experiencing. But it’s also not uncommon for women to plateau on Keto & to experience hormone dysfunction.
Will the weight go down when you get your estrogen levels back up to normal and how long will that take when taking medication.
You typically have to work on both the hormone aspect along with metabolic health to change body composition.
Estrogen patch made me gain 5 to 10lbs. Can't lose it when I'm on the patch, when i get off i lose weight. How do i balance this? I'm on progesterone 100mg at night also.
This is really dependent on how your body is processing hormone, how well you're detoxing, nutrient levels, inflammation, etc. Have you done a DUTCH before? This would be the best place to start. This link has more information for you: drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
same for me, have you found a solution?
@@Sammy-kf2lg not really just cutting the patch to a lower dose.
@@Sammy-kf2lg yes my doctor now added more progesterone which fixed the problem of weight gain and also depression. So now I'm on 200mg progesterone and an estradiol patch. Some people need more progesterone to balance out the estrogen. Just depends on the person but your body will tell you immediately. I noticed the first day my progesterone was increased.
By mid section do you mean stomach
Yes
Ive just started estrogel will it help with menopause weight?
Hi there! I can't say for certain without knowing what your hormones are doing, I always recommend doing a DUTCH test so that you have a map of your hormones and we can specifically target a protocol from there. If you would like, you can schedule a free consult with one of the docs on my team to answer any questions and get more info! calendly.com/dr-beth-westie/free-consult
Wish i could gain weight
Do you have low estrogen?
can't hear you ...
I can't hear u, wasting of data
I actually went up in cup size in addition to the waist butt and hips. It happened while on Spironolactone. What do I do? I also have joint pain. I avoid meat.
Getting your hormones tested is always the place I recommend starting!
How’s it going I just started spiro for hormonal acne
Letrozole. Done.
