I've been taking an estrogen supplement since I experienced menopause. After hearing this, I won't stop.

@yvetteandjorgenlarsen9753 Месяц назад

You should never take an estrogen supplement. Those have been proven to lead to cancer, and they are not bioidentical. Hormones should always be bioidentical, a cream which is rubbed on your body. I'll bet you've never had a 2/16 test that tells how you metabolize hormones.

@angelaharris1112 Месяц назад

I've wondered about menopause being a factor. Thank you for these videos. I have mild dementia. Im going to look at your links.

@juliagriego7693 Месяц назад

Thank you for this very important information. I am a care giver for my husband, which is very stressful, so I am thinking am a at risk for dementia,

@markchin8256 Месяц назад

Thank you Dr. Natali. My mother in law also suffers from hyperthyroidism and very high blood pressure but is not diabetic. Perhaps these are contributory factors too. Thank you from Singapore ! 🇸🇬

Doctor, can you provide some information on why more people are developing dementia, compared to 100 years ago. Thank you.

@missmayflower Месяц назад

We are living longer. We used to die in our forties and fifties.

How about elevated ferritan levels?

@betsyarehart5441 Месяц назад

Why am I not surprised.

@robertar.5189 Месяц назад

Hello dr. Natali. Thank you for supporting us ❤️. One question, if I may ask. My great-grandmother and my grandmother lived until 102 and 101 respectively, with no sign of dementia, while my mum - at 86 - is already into it at least since 2020 (year in which I realized something was wrong). Approximately two years later, she was diagnosed with dementia on a probable mixed basis: vascular and degenerative. True that at 52 she had a partial epilepsy, hence the degenerative part. I am the sole caregiver, so far, with a lot of stress - sometimes reduced by following your advice. My question is: am I liable to develop dementia, too? My brain tells me that I possibly should not. What does research/statistics say? Thank you again 🙌🏻

So does estrogen supplements lower cholesterol levels and high blood pressure?

@MBT372 Месяц назад

No, hrt keeps my cholesterol high and doesn't do anything for bp.

@tamaramartin4015 Месяц назад

Has research turned up any connection between dementia and childbirth?

@mattyboy8270 Месяц назад

My mother was diagnosed with vascular dementia and Alzheimers at age 70. Her Doctor confrirmed that a contributing factor they are finding is from woman having children into their 40s and suffering from post natal (postpartum in US) depression.

@michaelkurtz1967 Месяц назад

Woman take more prescription drugs than men on average and tend to have more food related allergies than men. Men tend to use illegal drugs more and tend to have trouble with alcohol more. Found your video interesting and well presented. Thanks for the knowledge.

@sarah2go Месяц назад

You lost me when you talked about cholesterol. I think you need to do your research instead of talking about ‘good’ and ’bad’ cholesterol, an outdated approach.

@z3lda808 Месяц назад

Can you please explain. I thought that the distinction between HDL and LDL was clear?

@corelli220 Месяц назад

I have a question. If a woman has these risk factors, what can she do to help herself reduce the risk of dementia?

Hi there, Here is a video you may find helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_6tOhlDvTrg.html

How many of those women were married or in serious long term relationships? Short answer because a man was driving them crazy.

@DanielBakerNebr Месяц назад

The flip side too. So best is some counseling, not just to fix him or her, but to learn better communications and to learn not to get buried in less important things, when that is the case.

@josnza Месяц назад

I think trauma is definitely a cause that flies under the radar especially when it's emotional of psychological. You might have knocked onto something important here.

@DAB148 Месяц назад

Thank you, I did find your video of information most helpful. 👏👏👏

@XX-qi5eu Месяц назад

and because for women, dementia starts at birth.

@glenbateman5960 Месяц назад

Women start out demented. It's really not a win if you have to cheat.

@ritaseeler4946 Месяц назад

What about domestic violence? Women are victims of domestic violence in which they are often beaten . Go to any ER and you will see women with damage such as black eyes, not to mention the bruises which you cannot see.

@DanielBakerNebr Месяц назад

@@ritaseeler4946 I have had bruises. Physical, and lots of mental bruises. The answer is in counseling, not in blaming. YES, what you mention, but there is the flip side.
