I almost cried watching this video. It is so genuine and heartfelt. I can tell you care. You deserve more followers. You literally saved my life. Your referral to me for a doctor in Orlando gave me hope. 11 days ago I started estradiol, bioidentical progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, B12, and thyroid meds. I should slowly start to improve. I pray that God blesses you abundantly.
Thanks so much for truly hearing me! I'd love to learn more about your experience with my referral. Send me an email contact@simplehormones.com.
He HAS blessed me abundantly. Thanks for your prayers.
This video helped me a lot too! How are you feeling after a year of being on HRT?
I’m not afraid of hormones. I’m a woman and I need my hormones to be happy, balanced, and protected from diseases. I ‘m not afraid of anything but losing my HRT. I will take it until the end of my life. 51 and so thankful I found the right information about menopause and HRT. Thank you Doctor.
Brain fog is the very worst. On top of anxiety, irritability, fatigue and shortness of breath. Miserable is the word indeed.
This all hits home, really hard minus the hot flashes and night sweats. I refuse to suffer in silence any longer.
That's what I love to hear! There are doctors who care.
You are so big!!. You don't know what channels like yours help women at this stage... Most of the doctors repeat like parrots the speech of the pharmacists. I personally trust people who have analytical and critical skills, not parrots.

I had 5 miscarriages within 2.5 years. That was 10 years ago. I went to soo many doctors for help. They always sent me to Psychology. I was 45 when I had the miscarriages. It is obvious to me now that I had a dive in progesterone. So sad that because doctors would not listen that I have lost so many years of my life. I have recently started progesterone and I am praying I can get my quality of life back
I' m a pharmacist myself & was also sceptical with hrt especially here in Asia where we're supposed to accept it as an aging process, until I went through late stage perimenopause with painful skin conditions, the hot flashes etc etc.. In despair I restarted my low dose OCP and the symptoms diminished within 1 week. Now I'm on proper hrt and have never felt better. Yr video is so inspiring, I am now reading more scientific evidence to educate myself to be a better pharmacist.
You are so needed! every single day!
Doctors being afraid of HRT is a social injustice. It’s ridiculous when I have to beg my Gyno to increase my estradiol- I had to show her the NAMS 2017 mission statement then she upped me 1 mg more. Most patients either get tired of advocating for themselves or feel they are crazy for asking for their hormones back bc they make it so taboo to do so. So most back off. Living a miserable life! The rate of suicide of women In menopause is not by choice or by accident. Quality of life Ans just being alive can almost entirely be helped with the right dose of HRT! Thank you for bringing awareness and providing wonderful insight. You are a blessing to me. Thank the Lord for people like you . Thank you 🙏🏻 #notscaredofHRT #ILOVEmyHRT #iNeedMyHRT #HRTnotHELL
I absolutely agree 100%. It upsets me every single time I hear yet another horror story about a woman being denied hormones because her doctor is afraid of them. I've heard too many women describe the hell they've been forced to live through. That's why I'm here!
I really appreciate your empathy and willingness to help. I found your videos after starting BHRT and I was fortunate to find a general practioner that said I was a good candidate for BHRT, because my blood work for everything else was fine, but my hormones were very low. I have been on them for 4 months and what a difference they have made in my life. I follow your videos and they are in line with my BHRT doctor, so I feel confident in my journey. I have recommended your videos to others.
Thanks for sharing! So glad you’re feeling better after getting your hormones adjusted. That’s the way it works. I’m doing my best to get this powerful message out.
It’s not the hot flashes… it’s the mental disaster that turns us into somebody else. It almost cost me my marriage and my life . I was so suicidal … my kids kept me alive bc they still needed me. I started hating my husband who is an angel on earth , I saw him as evil and I was so irritated every time I saw him . Past 2 yrs we spent planning divorce.
I started HRT and magic happened , I am back to normal . I am also training my husb in hormones so he understand what was wrong with me ❤. I am so happy now to be back myself and mist if all HRT saved my marriage and my life.
You described me with your before treatment… can you please share what you are taking to make you feel great… doing lots deep diving into others suggestions.. thank you
OMG I see my self in every word. spoken...you are not alone
.If only my Drs I'm talking Females.. Consultants.to Professors
My Dr Prof never suggested Bloods to check if I'm going through menopause...
Senior Gynae Female said NO to HRT it will add to my full plate ...Today at 55 I being diagnosed with Osteoporosis which could be prevented had I had follow ups...or if I was taken Seriously.. I was placed on Alendronate..
. that's it ...No Advise on the imp of Diet Supplement Excises...
I'm now my own Dr I do my own research to Help myself ..

Many Thanks on parting with Valuable Knowledge..
.Keep up the Excellent Wk & Dedication
Thank you! Thank you for caring enough to asking and paying attention to what is being said by your patients.
You’re welcome!
Steve rewatching all your videos and WOW how very THANKFUL I am and so many others are, for your willingness to lead the charge on this for us.
We need a way to "Collectively Come Together" and Stop the Suffering In Silence, learn, person to person and have someone like yourself provide guidance (understanding with your insights (not medical advise of course) but having yourself along with some qualified compassionate providers/ doctors along with a person to person support platform would be awesome. I know I would pay for a membership to something of that kind, just something to ponder.
If you ever feel lead to ponder such a thing let me know, I would be more than willing to volunteer as a promoter and a participant, just pondering out loud here! 😉🤩👐
Thank you again for ALL you have shared, contributed to the saving of so many lives!
Shayne - Thanks for your kind words and all your support. I would like to talk with you about my Menopause Solution course. Let's get together again soon!
When I told my Dr about my anxiety and insomnia along with hot flashes (I'm 57 and my periods stopped 3 months ago), she recommended Prozac and Ambien. I'm now working with a Dr of Pharmacy, to determine my current hormone situation and come up with a plan.
Lola - That’s unfortunately not unusual. You’ve been experiencing hormone-related symptoms, not a Prozac or Ambien deficiency. Good to know that you’re getting help from someone who isn’t scared of hormones.
Can you recommend some good doctors for treatment of my extremely debilitating symptoms in or near Leesburg, Virginia? I am unable to work or go to social events because my symptoms are so bad. Please help me find some really good help. I would love to find someone who actually seems to be available for me to see and talk to and actually seem to care about me and my body which reacts a bit uniquely to some medicines so someone has to be willing to have multiple meetings or discussions to try to get the levels correct. Most providers around here just want to see a client for the 15 minutes time slot and then you are on your own for the next month until there is another option to talk to them.

@danettebirch4230 You’re so welcome. Thanks for watching and for your encouraging words.
Thanks so much Steve! You're amazing
Aw shucks! 🤓
I am so glad my Gyn is a woman, as is my Gyn Oncologist, that alone, besides their skill, knowledge and compassion makes a huge difference to me.
I am going back and forth about having ovaries removed at time of hysterectomy. Please would you be kind enough to give your input, and suggestions for a woman in mid-seventies. It seems women up to the age of 64 commonly keep ovaries, whilst those of us who are older, do not. One doctor said it was a personal choice to discuss with Gyn. That's fine, but how can I make the appropriate decision when information tends to be somewhat conflicting, depending who one talks to. I understand that ovarian albeit rare and difficult to diagnose is a possibility. Thank you again for all your efforts to educate women, you work is much appreciated, Steve.
Hi Steve! I am enjoying your videos immensely! What amount of (Divigel 0.1%) transdermal estradiol per day do you recommend to prevent heart disease, Alzheimer's, and osteoporosis?
Some Docs say 0.05mg and others say 1mg. Be well!
You truly care wish my Dr was the same just need help . Any videos about a hysterectomy ? I haven’t had one but I’m truly thinking of getting it if nothing else works
I haven't made any directly about hysterectomy. I'm no expert on them, but many of the women I talk with wish they hadn't had to have one. I recognize there are cases where it's really the only option.
Once starting hormone replacement how to know the right dose
I was just saying this. I been post menopausal for 9 hrs now. I’m just learning that I suppose to been treated for my menopause symptoms by watching these kind of videos. I didn’t know. My Dr suggested Premarin. I said, NO! That is $500. Can anyone suggest something?
Provider near Sioux City, Iowa?
So miserable at 46, haven't slept well since I was 40. GP wanted to do antidepressants. I have almost every symptom on the list and want to give up.
I received your referral request. I'm taking a look at my database and contacting a few providers. Not sure I know anyone in Sioux City, but I'll check.
Just found your videos, what are your thoughts of late perimenopause at 36y of age (many symptoms). Its either that or I've suffered with POI/POF since 25 undiagnosed. Very hard to get Drs to help.
I am taking medroxy progesterone but it is making me crazy and my huaband thinks i hate him. Could this be because i need to switch to a different form of progesterone
I had a stroke because of the pill, so I cannot have hormone replacement .
Hello! Thank you so much for the videos… it’s helping a lot… one question next year i will be on my 40’s and my obgy said that i will need to do a mammogram test every year! I’ m really afraid of that because some natural docs are saying that the exposure every year of this kind of radiation can cause breast cancer after some years.. what’s is your opinion about that? Could you you please make a video about breast cancer and this type of exames?! Thank you 😊
Marcia - Hey, thanks for watching. I can understand your concern about mammograms. There are conflicting opinions about the recommended frequency and questions about if getting one every year is necessary or risky. To be perfectly honest, I'm not really qualified to comment on mammograms and breast cancer screening in general. Since my website is Simple Hormones, I try to ask myself 2 questions about any content I create: 1. Is it Simple? 2. Is it about Hormones? The answer to those questions, when it comes to mammograms are 1. Mammograms and breast cancer screening are not all that simple 2. Mammograms are not all that closely related to hormones. There's a complex and somewhat removed relationship between mammograms and hormones. For those reasons, I'll probably leave these topics up to someone who knows more about them.
I will also add that someone very close to my wife and myself had a mammogram that was fine, then had another a year later that showed a Stage 3 breast cancer for which she had to have a mastectomy and complete recovery/remission. However, that woman was 70 years old. The most common recommendations are that women between 45-54 get mammograms every year and every 3 years outside that range. If this woman had waited 3 years, it would most certainly have gone a lot worse for her. It's definitely not an easy question to answer.
@@SimpleHormones thank you so much! I really appreciate your answer
They give aromatase inhibitors after breast cancer. I need the opposite to function. I’m less worried about breast cancer than Alzheimer’s and heart disease.
Aromatase inhibitors are definitely some of the most commonly prescribed treatments for breast cancer. Unfortunately, they do they have serious consequences for hormone levels and long-term health risks.
My breast was grade 1 tubular and grade 2 DCIs. The tubular cancer wasn’t even found after the mastectomy because it was so small the biopsy got it all. It didn’t show on the mammogram or ultrasound. And the doctors couldn’t feel it. I think in my case my risk is so low that AI causes more risk than benefits.
It s mostly why it s happening what s treatment
Nobody gives a toss - put under mental health and given anti depressants - then hrt when I am convinced that its progesterone not more estrogen I need specially as i had gallbladder out and that caused by estrogen
Thankfully I found a dr ob/gyn that RX progesterone pills and estrogen patches. I have a very sensitive stomach digestive issues (sibo) small intestinal bacteria overgrowth. So I have to be on a strict low fodmap diet. Will HRT make my stomach issues worse?
In general, HRT won't affect your stomach directly. Progesterone has a tendency to cause nausea in some patients. It may be a good idea to start low and go slow with it.
@@SimpleHormones thank you! 💕🙏🏼
Your "find a Hormone provide" doesn't work. I cannot get the drop downs to work to make a choice. I am using Chrome browser
Thanks for letting me know. I seem to be having some problems with my site right now. I'm working on getting that fixed. In the mean time, try this link: hormonepharmacist-com.ck.page/064b785203
👏👏👏

Is it ok to take progesterone tablets at night if you have Obstructive Slleep Apnea? I am 50 year old female. Just started HRT estrogeon patches.
Yes. Shouldn't be any problem.
