I kind of wonder how many marriages could be stronger if women had better healthcare and men understood this process

@christinaoliveira5335 4 месяца назад

Thank you so,so much, Penny! This is truly life saving information! I watched it in tears hoping I had watched it about 8 years ago when I became perimenopause and had zero idea about what was gradualy turning my mental and physical well being upside down. Ultimately, the rollercoaster of emotions and physical changes erroded my marriage of almost 25 years leading it to a recent divorce. It wasn't until very recently that I started listening to the HRT topic in more depth and putting the puzzle pieces together. It never ocurred to me that the overwhelming feeling of burnout, stress, lack of sleep, mood swings, lack of libido and everything in between could be related to my hormones. I was so busy raising kids, with the household, working outside the home etc. that I let myself down. I'm now working hard trying not to blame myself. Thank you for the candid and invaluable conversation. I'll make sure to share with friends and urge them to spread the word. It's my biggest hope that moving forward no woman/family will have to endure such unecessary pain. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!❤

Thank you thank you thank you. I stopped going to doctors completely because I was tired of the gaslighting and antidepressants being their only answer. Also, I’m sick of health care providers asking me what I want them to do. I’m an electrician, if I got a service call for someone’s breaker constantly tripping I wouldn’t show up and ask the client what they wanted me to do.

this is so to the point. Have a look at Penn's interview with Dr, Corinne Menn. She works with MyAlloy, the online telehealth menopause company. She's representative of the doctors they have on their team.

My doctor had told me that I had to go to an infectious disease doctor to determine why I was continuously having UTI’s. I knew that this was not the route I should go but, o had not clue until I saw Dr. Haver and she mentioned vaginal estrogen could completely eliminate them. I had been given vaginal estrogen by an OBGYN for painful sex but, I stopped because of two spinal fusions and two bone infections. I started the estrogen again a few months ago and no UTI’s!! Amazing! Thank you so much Dr. Haver!! I am 63.

@pamorama 4 месяца назад

Honest to goodness this is the best video that came out of all the amazing videos you guys made at the Creator House. I teared up, thinking about all the pain and heartache. I could’ve saved myself how I had this information when I was perimenopausal and menopausal. I’m the same age as Angie and this is coming to me a little too late although I have happily been on bioidentical hormones for the past five years. My first dose was way too low, but I finally got a Doctor Who heard me and upped all my dosage. What a difference that made. I must applaud Justin for being there and participating! It makes such a difference when men listen to what we have to say about menopause. I was happy that my husband began to participate more as time went on, and he saw my symptoms as a health concern rather than a loss of libido or whatever it’s a conversation that really needs to be had between couples because, I think a lot of men take it personally and think you just don’t love them anymore or are attracted to them anymore or whatever. In the meantime, we are psychologically and physically struggling with the body. That is very unfamiliar to us. Bravo to all of you for this extremely important conversation. I am so impressed with this doctors knowledge and perspectives

I have endometriosis. It is driven my estrogen and it was severe. I am retired from medical field and had access to many physicians. I have had mixed response to my using estrogen … some say it’s ok and many, even the drug representatives for vaginal estrogen say “don’t touch it”. I have known those who have never used HRT and those that have that developed breast cancer. I’m almost 72 so wouldn’t begin at this age although I do believe topical estrogen for genitourinary issues would be helpful. I wish I had known this 30 years ago and thank goodness Dr Haver is here🤗

@nancycurtis3964 4 месяца назад

Wow. Just. Wow. I have been menopausal since age 40, and have suffered horribly from hot flashes. I am now 68. At one point I said, "maybe, if I get breast cancer, I will die. If I do not sleep, I definitely will die." So a practitioner gave me Ambien. (I am a RN, so I know a little bit.) I have taken everything; pills, patches, bio-identical hormones, even Prempro (which I resisted because its method of manufacture is abhorrent), and nothing worked. I gave up. I'm flashing as I type this. I am depressed, miserable, unmotivated. Maybe I was under-dosed? Maybe the practitioners were idiots. I probably saw 10 of them. On Monday I will call a local provider who is an NCMP, and seek relief, once again.

@PENNSMITHSKINCARE 4 месяца назад

I have had several conversations with Dr Haver and I was SO thankful that Angie was in this one, we focused on perimenopause (where I am) and post menopause (where Angie is). Now I know that you (Nancy) can possibly get relief even though it’s been many years- with a nuanced conversation with your doctor, no plaque in your arteries and good heart scan you should be good to go (clearly I’m simplifying but you know what I mean). That’s SO EXCITING. I hope you do make that call Monday and I’ll be cheering for you!!!

This is all such good and important information, but I forgot to mention one thing in my previous comments-please research Premarin or Prempro before going that route. Not because the medications themselves are dangerous that I’m aware of, but because the production of Premarin products is very detrimental to the horse population. If you are a horse lover, as I am, it was a non-negotiable for me. I went bioidentical and I’m satisfied with my results.

@denisenj7648 4 месяца назад

It's less risky bc you don't need progesterone if you don't have a uterus. Some people thought the progesterone led to a slightly increased risk of breast cancer.

I am so mad at this. I had a complete hysterectomy at 42. Went through immediate menopause. Felt terrible. Tried to get help from my regular doctor and they put me on lexipro. Gained so much weight. Finally at age 56 I was so sick of feeling terrible I decided to do the research and fix it myself after asking my doctor to help. So I started eating different only Whole Foods and walking. Felt a little better lost 40 lbs. Still overweight at age 58 I decided I would try something different and read about how much protein I needed and started lifting weights. Also went to a hormone doctor that I have to pay out of pocket for that. Got my hormones right, lifted weights 6 days a week. I lost 60 lbs in a year. I’m feeling much better. I stopped taking lexipro when I started lifting weights. I’m a little concerned about the cardiovascular though because I did not get checked to see if I had build up. I feel much better, healthy and I’m in best shape of my life at 61. I’m so tired of doctors telling women just deal with it your getting older.

@kimberleylandon7645 4 месяца назад

I’ve watched this video TWICE. It’s so informative. My most outward perimenopause symptom (self diagnosed, so said with caution) is heart palpitations. When I started having palpitations for days on end, literally non stop, I began a very dissatisfying journey into testing. I have been amazed and dismayed at the medical field when dealing with, not just “women’s health” but women in general. I have been dismissed and considered over reactive. For example, when my husband had a heart issue the doctor saw him immediately, sent him to a cardiologist within days and developed a plan. When I started having issues, I was sent to the emergency room but then was sent home, saw my doctor a week later who referred me to a cardiologist who did not get me in for 2 weeks. He gave me a week long heart monitor, which definitely showed information, but did not get me in for a stress test for another 4 to 5 weeks. Anyway, I’m just venting. Thank you again, Penny, for diving into this issue. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know that I would have recognized the possibility that this is a menopausal symptom. I have hope again that there might be something I can do, and I have resources to arm myself. ❤

I have no clue where I'm at as far as menopause goes.. so many of the sx associated with menopause also cross over with this busted body I've got that no one wants to treat 😮‍💨 i don't even know where to begin

Is there a minimun estrogen level for prevention of dementia, cardio issures, and bone loss that you are aware of? I don"t want to find out in 10 years that the levels that my doctor has perscribed for me were not sufficient. Thank you,

Would love to hear more about the “outliers” and how to manage symptoms. I’m 46 and have hormone positive breast cancer. I’m a dietitian and personal trainer, have lifted heavy weights for 30 years and always eaten healthy, zero alcohol ever. I have osteopenia and peri-menopausal with tons of night sweats and hot flashes the past 5 years or so. After I’m done with radiation my oncologist suggested removal of ovaries and taking aromatase inhibitor. How do I manage the symptoms when I have to block all hormones? He said even the raspberry leaf tea that seemed to help with my night sweats may not be the best idea. Basically any supplement that helps symptoms he suggested I avoid.

Regardless of your symptoms losing estrogen will have a detrimental impact on our heart, bones, brain, and much more. So even without symptoms I want to protect those systems in to old age ❤️ So yes, she’s advocating at least considering it - whether or not you *choose* to take them, that’s up to you 🙂

Penn, I loved this, I've been trying to figure out my health or the lack there of for years, I'm 69 and had a hysterectomy when I was 33. Last year I asked my Nurse Practicioner to put me on HRT and vaginal estrogen, and she did. In October on the 29th I went into heart failure and was admitted to the hospital for 6 days. So I took off the patch and have not used it or the vaginal estorgen since. Watching this I put a patch on and used my vaginal estrogen. I knew better, I've been a follower of Dr. Christine Northrup, who is of the same mind set as you Dr. on this show. I'm going to get her book as soon as I can. I'm doing very well with my heart, but literally nothing else...I could go on for and on but I've said enough thank you for this. I Look forward to more❣

80% & the most common type of BC is driven by estrogen (ER+). I had this & my Onco said no to any extra estrogen after BC. I believe there is not enough data/studies to confirm/deny that HRT can exacerbate estrogen driven BC.

From my conversations with Dr Haver…..it is a nuanced conversation with your doctor but you absolutely should be able to get back on HRT if your heart and arteries are good! That’s my take-away. Obviously your doctor will know but it’s a million percent worth pursuing (relentlessly in my opinion!!)

The UK has a different approach to prescribing doctors on the NHS there is a central body dictating policy. I don't exactly know if it was my GPS taken on it. But I can't take hrt just for preventative reasons. Eg you have to have a symptom. The risks I was told needs to be worth it. And I can't get bioidentical hormones. I argue that I still wanted to take hrt. I was taken off the tablets as they are higher risk I was told, given patches. However if I had argued and cited a load of research papers from pubmed I'm not sure I'd have been given hrt as I have no symptoms. We have incontinencies within countries, between doctors and internationally. Then we have the rise of misinformation and misinformation on social media. When I said I watch an American Dr my GP just laughs. That's a different system I'm told. Why is life so complicated. Makes me the patient more unsure and stressed with advice.

I had bariatric surgery at 59. I just turned 60. Hysterectomy (ovaries were left) at 29. So getting protein, drinking enough water, calcium is tough. My diabetes has almost reversed (A1C of 10.2 to 5.6 in 4 months after surgery. I was a diabetic for 25 years). I do not exercise. I was 232 pounds , now holding at 131 pounds. It’s been a little over 1 year. I don’t know where to start. I do have shoulder pain, urinary tract issues (even got a neurostimulator for it)and some mental health issues. So overwhelming for someone who seems to ‘be passed’ the HRT start time. Any suggestions? Trying hard to get healthier…

About calcium, I have heard the same that calcium supplements can cause calcification in other areas. However what about vitamin K2?? Why was this not mentioned? I understand it helps to send calcium to the bones. (I’ve paused the video at about 37 minutes to make this comment, so if K2 is mentioned later just ignore me 😊). Also there is boron and silica that are supposed to help with BMD.

Hey, sweetie, I am also on the HRT train as of a few years ago but a bumpy ride and because of a number of the issues discussed not sure where I am atm. 😅 At 61, I went in for what I thought was a UTI but even after antibiotics still had issues. Saw a urologist and told I had a cyst and to use a tube of vaginal estrogen. Still felt irritated after one tube. Told to just continue using. Started researching symptoms which led to HRT and down a rabbit hole I went and many books, articles and studies later I realized that a number of my other complaints over the years were related to menopause - heart palpitations, brain fog 😶‍🌫️ , headaches, sleeplessness, etc. Asked my dr at Kaiser and was given oral estrogen and progesterone. Been on them a couple years, 65 now 🤭 and at the standard dosage. I had an endometrial ablation at 48 so I have no idea when I would have gone into ‘menopause’. I don’t know if I was within the ten year timing window when I started. I didn’t have a calcium score or any scans done of my arteries. We have met long time ago when I drove down to see my son when he lived in Vancouver, so you know I am not a big person and I am active. I quit smoking some time ago and drink only a couple times a year. I have low cholesterol, low blood pressure and am not diabetic. No family history of heart attacks or strokes. My little sister mentioned she had a blood clot in her leg and been hospitalized so I have asked to be switched to the patch. Will see how that goes. Thanks so much for putting this on your channel! It is important information! 💕

I was told last year I was not perimenopausal, having out of control symptoms including heavy periods at 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, was told I have several cysts and fibroids with possible endometriosis and would need to consider a hysterectomy because the ablations would only be temporary. This year with a different dr( because I moved) I was told I’m in menopause. He did an exam and said he didn’t feel any fibroids large enough to cause concern ( just with physical exam). Scheduled zero tests, ultrasounds etc except for bloodwork and told me to come back in three years. Because of my pushback, he offered Effexor. I have made an appointment with a different dr.

Hi again Penn…I watch your videos over & over & continue to learn so much from you, wow just WOW!!! My question is…since you say you are not in full blown menopause yet how/why are you already taking estrogen & why Evamist vs the other options? ❤❤❤

@PENNSMITHSKINCARE 3 месяца назад

Hi! And thank you so much for being here with me 😍 So I’m definitely in perimenopause with some symptoms. I love the evamist bc it’s very very easy to do, penetrates fast and doesn’t leave any residue behind. Everything I’ve learned tells me my estrogen is already in major decline even though I’m not yet technically in menopause. I’ll be 51 soon and want to do all that I can to protect my brain, bones, skin etc. Check out Dr Lisa Mosconi - she is a neuroscientist (and author….two must read books) who talks about estrogen through the perimenopause transition and how it is protective of our BRAIN. That alone is a convincing reason to use HRT (for me ❤️) 😊
