Why do doctors not have this information. I could have used it 10 years ago, it would have prevented a lot of distress. All doctors who treat women should know this and provide information and guidance at the appropriate stages of the peri menopause and menopause.
Yes, all doctors should know this. Even if they didn't learn it in Medical School, there's been good information about menopause out for a few years now. If they're not picking up on it, that's on them, but it's the women who suffer as a result 😊xx
The health care system is beholden to big pharma, which results in treating symptoms, not causes, with drugs, making lifetime patients. That’s why real doctors like Gersh practice outside the system. The system is broken, or, I should say it’s only good for critical care situations, like a broken arm, accidents, etc.
True, and most doctors have neither the time nor the inclination to think outside of the box. Research and creative solutions-not their m.o. That is why it is incumbent upon each one of us to take back our power. It’s your body. Do your research. And if you cannot co create a satisfactory HRT treatment plan with your doctor, find another way, which may include going it alone, until you find a supportive smart doctor like this one. And yes, there are plenty of options to find what you need until you find the right health care partner.
Dr Felice your 🎉 are amazing! Those kind of information I have search for every where before, I cant thank you enough. I am spreading your videos for all my friends and also doctors. Gratitude!
Dr. Felice, please, address what is a "physiological dose". Also, so many have asked the relevant question of do you continue estradiol every day and then pulse for two weeks the (real) progesterone? I've read through so many comments with these two questions being asked again and again. Thank you for your time and excellent presentations of this most important information to help women help themselves.
Yes. I’m a new patient of hers and the PA (who I just had the initial tele-health consult with) is having me do this very thing. I am post meno as well as post hysto, too.
You mention progesterone as being brain protective. But I recently had a hysterectomy & my Dr said not to take it anymore. So I only take my estrodial gel. Will my brain be damaged without progesterone ? My breast surgeon said I’ll have less chance of breast cancer on Estrodial alone so not sure what to do now ? Many thanks !
Medroxyprogesterone (synthetic) isn't great, but micronized progesterone is bioidentical and beneficial. I learned this from Dr. Gersh, and other menopause experts, then looked up the studies myself. After a year on the synthetic stuff (and feeling worse than before I started the meds) I switched to micronized progesterone and estradiol patch. I finally feel like my old self again! My insurance covers both and my out of pocket is around $40/month, but if you're un/under-insured, Good Rx has coupons that lower the cost to less than $50
Had hysterectomy also I also just started the estradiol patch and was prescribed 200mg of Progesterone. I also would like to know the benefits of taking Progesterone.
So is microglia gone wild in the brain something similar to the out of control osteoclasts in the bone? Breaking things down without oestradiol and progesterone to regulate them? 😱xx

Greed! They get better pay for endless pills they prescribe!

Please make a video about HRT after hysterectomy! All your videos are post menopause.

Dr Gersh, you're so intelligent and wonderful. Thank you for the information that you share. It makes a difference in my life.
Is cycling progesterone and uterus shedding also recommended for women with endometriosis?

Which patch dosage would be considered physiologist?
Thank you, Dr. Gersh!
Such a great talk thankyou
Could you please speak on HRT and mirena for those of us in perimenopause

I sleep good but still have brain fog. It feels weird

What are the benefits of taking Progesterone? Postmenopausal had a hysterectomy 15years ago.
I dont have hot flashes or night sweats
Hair loss, brain fog, eye pain, anger, joint pain, frozen shoulder, weight gain around the mid section, bladder issues, not sleeping well, inflammation
You have same first bad last name as my sister I thought your comment was her at first ☺️
Still can use hormones.
Progesterone is low low low causes this brain fog its terrible
If you have cptsd because of SEVERE harm you're NOT going to sleep.
