My guest is Sara Gottfried, M.D., a Harvard-trained, board-certified gynecologist and clinical assistant professor of integrative medicine & nutritional sciences at Thomas Jefferson University. Dr. Gottfried specializes in hormone health, vitality and longevity using precision/personalized approaches. We discuss female hormone health, puberty, perimenopause, and menopause, hormone testing, the microbiome, stress related hormone challenges, their causes, and various treatments. We also discuss fertility, birth control and tools for improving microbiome health, treating PCOS, insulin management, and the best nutrition, supplementation, and exercise programs for women. While the episode focuses mainly on female hormones, males will also benefit from our discussion because it includes actionable tools suggested for managing stress, bolstering the gut microbiome, and immunity-all of which stand to improve overall health, vitality and longevity in males and females.

I’m so grateful for this episode, Dr. Huberman! I was struggling with infertility and, thanks to the rich content of this episode, was able to self-diagnose PCOS and then confirm it with my doc. I began exercising 30-60 minutes a day, followed by cold showers, and supplementing with high EPA fish oil, L-Carnitine, and Inositol. My sleep improved, joint pain went away, BG went down from 5.7 to 5.6 and within 2 months of this protocol I achieved ovulation. I found out today I am pregnant, on the very first cycle! My husband and I are joyful beyond words!!

I’m 53, started menopause at age 50-1/2. I started hormone replacement ( estrogen, progesterone & testosterone) at age 52. Wish I would have started in my 40’s when I really needed it!!! Just did not know the first thing about it. We need to educate our young girls!!! Since being on hormone replacement for a year and a half, I have had so many test results of that have caused me to go on lower doses, then, back on higher doses, then stop for a while! I just want to find the right dose of all three and stick with them. Actually, I’m going to get an IUD of progesterone to coincide with my estrogen. I keep bleeding with my estrogen and progesterone pills. More discussion about this would be fantastic!

I was dismayed when 15 min in she made the statement that she's an IUD crusader and said, "Having a copper IUD gives you a complete authority and sovereignty over your sexual life that's profound". When I would argue having complete control over it WITHOUT a foreign substance in it is actual autonomy! Then she goes on to say that "women with the copper IUD have the highest satisfaction rate of anyone on contraceptives". Ironically I just made a post about this on my IG a few days ago, sharing the horrific side effects I suffered from having a copper IUD. All bloodwork showed I was completely "healthy," yet I had suddenly developed numerous unexplainable issues - severe loss of strength, constant phantom pain and injuries, severe memory loss, severe fatigue, and more. My obgyn told me it wasn't possible that it was from my IUD, yet when I demanded I have it removed, I already started feeling better the very next morning. So many women also commented on my post sharing their own awful experiences, and if you search you will find info about all the lawsuits filed by women that went through these experiences as well.

@juniper10 2 месяца назад

I agree, as a young woman who wants a family in the future, but not at present I'm wary of the options available to us. When I look up online, a copper IUD 'seems' to be the safest one as no hormones are being administered, but it will still react to your body and its surroundings because it is not an inert metal! Hormonal pills aren't an option at all because I'd rather have a baby earlier than become a zombie in the process of trying to not have one.

Please have Sara back on to discuss this or any other expert. There's a unique kind of deep suffering that comes to a woman when she hits her menopausal years: there is the emotional pain of feeling so disregarded and no longer relevant in society (which comes on fast btw), combined with the debilitating physical and mental/emotional suffering that comes with menopausal symptoms and with not much help out there at all!! It's like there's been a wholesale abandonment of womankind at this stage of life. It's a full-blown catastrophe and shameful for a country such as the US.

All of what you put was through my hypothyroidism diagnosis , pituitary and vitamin deficiencies, a family history of women’s problems, and the affects it has in childbirth and bringing up our children, . As Huberman said it affects men, and their hormones genetically. No wonder there’s so much dysfunction in the world, these are things we need to know earlier and throughout our lives. Unfortunately well people don’t need to keep going back to the doctors.

I have had issues for years and am dismissed, I recently asked for a hormone test as my migraines are happening with hormone fluctuations. My doctor said it's "pointless" as all hormones fluctuate. Love being dismissed. I have kept a journal for 6+ years with dates/symptoms and he didn't even look at it.

Since I turned 38, every single doctor told me that it's "just the hormones" and the menopuse and nothing can be done, no matter what poblems I have. 20 years later I still menstruate regularly, as all women in my family before since generations did in my age. Only my siser, who took homone pills since her teenage years to pevent pregnancy, really did stop mentruating with about 40.

@lais5684 Год назад

Find another doctor and say you are trying to get pregnant lol There's noting wrong to lie to get the care and exams that you need. I know this is not ethical nor is denying a woman exams that she needs. I find it sickening that if a woman isn't trying to get pregnant, all out of a sudden, looking at hormones is pointless. I learned during my early teens to advocate for myself, especially as a latina, because systemic racism exist whether we care to admit it or not. So keep going from one doctor to another until you find someone who wants to find the root of your problem, instead of temporary relieving it with medications that will cause more problems in the long run. It's def not easy being a woman in a world that only cares about men's health.

A little side note about copper IUDs. I also thought as a person very sensitive to hormones, a copper IUD would be a perfect solution for me. I had it in for 7 years before I got pregnant with it. After that child was born, my post baby body was difficult to get back to say the least. We did some testing and my thyroid was under performing. I did a reinsert of an IUD after a 2nd child and I had some SERIOUS neurological symptoms. I was seeing specialists consistently with no answers. As soon as I took that IUD out, everything resolved itself. I’m pretty convinced the copper IUD caused my thyroid performance and my neurological symptoms after the 2nd insertion. Just some important things to think about before recommending this birth control method for women. Barrier method of some form is the best for our health

Women’s healthcare is straight up abysmal, and honestly, so many doctors just don’t give a shit. I’ve just had my second baby. I was so blessed to be in (what we call here in aus) the Midwife Group Practice - which is essentially a holistic medical model based on continuity of care (the same midwife sees you throughout your preg, birth and PP. it was amazing. Women who just go through the hospital system have much worse outcomes. Hospitals care that the baby lives, and the mother lives. Which isn’t nothing. But they’ll butcher your body unnecessarily to make that happen. They’ll steamroll and gaslight women’s preferences at every turn, because they’re more concerned about checking boxes and following protocols than they are about properly respecting a woman’s concerns and preferences. This model has been for many years, and still is resulting in so much physical and mental trauma. It’s appalling. I now have a chiropractor, pelvic floor specialist, community of exercise enthusiasts and experts and nutritionist/naturopath/homeopath friends and/or healthcare practitioners around me. You really need to do the research yourself, advocate for yourself and find alternative care practitioners who will work with you if you actually want to improve your health. And you have to be resilient to withstand the disdain you might cop from a lot of the mainstream medical community for not abiding by their bullshit status quo haha

Thank you Andrew and Sara for covering menopause in particular. It has been the most confusing period of my life (well done my mum for preparing me and supporting me so well through puberty). Just when a woman's career is in top gear, looking at leadership roles, suddenly the hormonal rug is pulled from under your feet. No longer the sharpest person in the room, no longer emotionally well regulated and exhausted just making it through the working day.

Menopause is not talked about enough. And in my family, it is not discussed at all. I tried to ask my mother questions and she just said she has no idea because she had a hysterectomy. My grandmother says she experienced nothing but that is her answer with everything from side effects from the vaccine etc. you can never really get her to share her medical experience especially if it’s a taboo female topic. And I have no female friends that discuss menopause. But I can feel a huge hormonal shift in the past two years. And suddenly my periods are irregular, while they always has been, I get them every 22 days and now sometimes I’ll get them twice a month and after experiencing Covid, I didn’t get a period at all for a couple months. Low energy, dry skin, bloating and constipation… is this part of menopause 🤷‍♀

I have an amazing Dr. in Naples, Florida that is in the top 10 for HRT. I thank God for this man! I remember going through menopause before I met this Dr. and I kept waking up in a cold sweat 3 times a night. My sheets were literally soaked to the mattress. I had to wrap myself in towels and keep extra next to my bed. It was a nightmare! Yet, i never slept well to sleep through any nightmare because of insomnia and the damn wet sheets! Now my Dr. In Naples has put me on HRT as well as he has put my mother on it years ago as well. I will quote my Dr. “ Once menopause sets in the brain actually starts shrinking and begins to slowly die. With HRT and excellent blood monitoring my body stays more youthful and vibrant.

@pamcolding5925 Год назад

@Melanie White hi! I live in Lakeland FL ( suburb of Tampa). Can I ask about your HRT? I am 64, work nights as a truck driver and am currently on hormone pellets. I had the same sleep issues. The pellets have helped but I still have sleep issues. I'm sure a lot of it comes from having to sleep days. What form of hormones do you take?

@Fitnessoncallnaples 4 месяца назад

@@pamcolding5925Before I suggest anything please consult with your Dr. first. Step One: Get a hormone blood panel. This test will provide the answers to your hormone levels. Step 2: Go back to your Dr. for results and get scripts. Step 3: Ask Dr. for the reputable compound pharmacy he/she recommends. Step 4: Follow the exact instructions. Do not stop! Unless you experience side effects. You will be on them for as long as Dr. recommends. Step 5: Repeat blood panel in a month for adjustments. 6: Return for an annual hormone blood panel. My daily hormone regimine. Estrogen cream -daily Testosterone cream- once a month 1st day 2 x daily Next day same as above. Repeat every month . Progesterone-Small gel capsule. Every day. BONUS- If you want a coumpumded cream for anti- wrinkles I. E. Retin -A ask your Dr. for this script will in the office! Moral of my own hormone history. Nightmare 10 years ago before HRT. Dream Come True Results: WOW!! I feel alive, vitality ( viagra for women) woohooo! and told I look 10 years younger with Retin-A and a little LED mask and Botox. Note: I demand the government pay for HRT! Hello! Men/husbands would reap these benefits! No alcohol to get her in any mood, which I personally believe men use to loosen up. Come on men! This has been used forever!!! And some women that use alcohol to put up with their husbands needs. You asked! My 2 cents…. I hope this helps you and other women and men. Dr. Hubberman was also helpful with a family member suffering from depression. The family member flew to Chicago for Ketamine treatment. The symptoms of depression GONE. If I could wind a clock back I would be a neuropsychologist! The new discoveries are like Neil Armstrong landing on the moon in 1969. Luckily, I have a family member whom just graduated top of his class at Hillsdale College. He was given a full scholarship at U of Iowa. :) Good luck!

I agree with you. I was very frustrated that the two of them couldn't focus on a topic without getting sidetracked REPEATEDLY. That truly speaks to brain patterns and focus concerns. Oh that's my buddy from forever ago... Oh, I read your book, it was xyz... And they kept nitpicking over niggly little things like terms or verbs vs nouns, ugh! Okay, peri menopause... It's always a good time to get a complete hormonal work up, blood, saliva and metabolites (dry urine home test) to see a snap shot of where you are right now. I'd say as a person in the service industry you have exceptional stressors on your hormones, so having good support is important. Work with a Functional Medicine practitioner who's education will help to address the entire wellness model that's involved. I'd imagine your work is physical as well. Look up DUTCH dry urine testing. You can do it yourself at home. You'll be able to read most of it yourself, then you'll have it to bring to your healthcare provider. We have a saying, "Don't guess, test" Evidence and facts are the best way forward. Good luck. 🙏🌞

I’ve spoken to quite a few people with borderline personality disorders, and or with addiction, who have thyroid disorders, or have parents with thyroid disorders. Trouble is when you go to a mental hospital and they check your thyroid, it doesn’t always give a true reading because the ranges are from a data analysis machine which give different results at different times and symptoms ignored, even if the y show abnormal. I think that’s why I’m a bit hesitant about treatment from any kind of therapists, who don’t do full endocrine and vitamin checks, on their clients or patients, because most of these have affects on our hormones, from starting periods through to menopause.

I was on oral estrogen only birth control pills for almost 30 years. I was progesterone deficient for so many years.

I'm so glad this subject is being talked about on this podcast. I hope women's health is taken more seriously soon.

😭 just finding out that the extended side effects of some birth controls can shrink your clit is so frustrating but also explains so much about how I feel after being off birth control for over 2 years and still having issues with hormones and libido. Thank you so much for making this available for people! Wish more people knew

I started listening to this podcast to take care of my own health. As a nurse practitioner who has worked in FQHCs for 8 years, I have been shocked by the thoughtlessness with which this vulnerable population is treated. The pervasive and not so subtle pressure to throw hormones and birth control at women and ignore addressing PCOS and fertility concerns at a younger age as well as not informing women of the thrombotic risk associated with synthetic oral estrogen is very upsetting. The conversation around the ways that women’s health continues to be ignored and the affordability of highly specific lab work and CAC testing is much needed. THANK YOU Dr. Gottfried. Your book is next in my audible queue!!! This podcast and the whole movement toward the democratization of knowledge, for me, is needed for everyone, but especially for those of us on the front lines dealing with trauma both personally and among our patients, which has increased significantly since COVID. Thank you so so so very much for the work you do to help me stay inspired, to take the best care possible, of myself and others.

Loved this! Dr. Gottfried is amazing and wonderful to listen to. Please have her back again for more topics. I'd love a dedicated video on perimenopause and menopause. It's a topic that rarely gets airtime and unfortunately many primary care doctors and even gynecologists just aren't up to date on current findings and best treatments.

i was diagnosed 8 weeks ago with breast cancer and am told i will need to take hormone blockers after surgery and that surgery itself will destroy my gut microbiome. my surgeon was unresponsive to questions regarding fecal transplant or preservation and adamant that hormone blocking drugs are key to preventing the cancer from returning. but i am more than 1 year past my last period at almost 57 and concerned about hormone blocking drugs. i am opting for a double mastectomy, rather than a lumpectomy, because of the 90-95% reduction in recurring breast cancer. i am learning a lot and trying to make the best possible decisions. by the way, Huberman Lab is the best! i have been forwarding videos to my peoples left and right. thank you. i appreciate your mission.

The majority of doctors don't understand anything about women's health, and most brush off women's health complaints. I'd be willing to bet this is why women have more health complications. This is an important conversation. Thank you for having this guest! Loving this episode.

@stormfourstrings1735 Год назад

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that women are far more likely to be obese, and far less likely to change it than men.

@Celeste-.-marie Год назад

@StormFourStrings that's just not true. According to NIH, "The percentage of men who are overweight (34.1%) is higher than the percentage of women who are overweight (27.5%)." You're the perfect example of how women continue to get gaslit in the medical community.

Topic request: A deeper dive into the pros and drawbacks of combined oral contraceptives, hormonal IUDs, and copper IUDs. My wife has experienced many of the drawbacks associated with oral contraceptives. And then 8 months after stopping the combined oral contraceptive (due to a broad range of health issues such as fatigue, worsening depression, and horrific IBS) she got a comprehensive blood panel test that had to pay for. The test showed that her testosterone was 7ng/dl, with the reference range being 13-70. She’s in her mid 20s.. now she’s taking DHEA, boron, etc to elevate those levels, and it’s helping, but come on. She tried to talk to her obgyn, and the obgyn recommended going back on oral contraceptives lol But this podcast was so enlightening and refreshing! Keep it up!!

@cevanille1104 Год назад

It's horrible, it also makes women magnesium deficient, personally it annihilated my libido for 7 years, and it still has effect on me, and I stopped it 2 years ago. In my experience, gynecologists are almost religous about the pill, any problem you have they throw the pill, you tell them it does not work for you, and they gaslight you to the ground. I came to think they're just making money with the labs off castrating women chemically. I can't help but think it's also partly responsible for the sexless men in their 20s, I was not looking for a partner when I was on the pill... and most women in their 20s are on it. So doctors randomly decided it's "progress" to put half of the human population on artificial hormones, when really we have no idea about the long term consequence (I think the pill was only developped in the 80s ?) and you guys get to drink/eat the remnants on it as apparently it's in the water.

Around 15:11 - "Because i think [oral contraceptives] is, this is now opinion again and not science, I think it is the #1 endocrinopathy that is iatrogenic for women". Thank you Dr. Gottfried for this comment. As someone who was prescribed the oral birth control pill at age 18, and shortly thereafter developed a hormone problem that caused side effects a menopausal woman might experience - vestibulodynia (including tearing of the tissue, painful sex, and resulting pelvic floor dysfunction) - all because a gynocologist unwittingly/unknowingly prescribed me an oral contraceptive as they did for most female patients then. It then took me 8 years, despite living in new york city, to find a doctor (who was at the time maybe one of a handful in the country/world) who could properly identify and address the full scope of the problem. And they think that as many as 10% of women are prone to this problem with oral contraceptives (though still more work to be done to confirm). All of this because women's health has gone so under-funded, under-researched, under-taught in med school. I'm not at all trying to be a hater of oral contraceptives (they work well for so many women, though I too love the IUD as Dr. Gottfried does). But I do think a blanket approach to contraception for all women without understanding the potentially serious, life-altering impacts is no longer acceptable.

Thank you so much, Dr Huberman and Dr. Gottfried! I am a 61 year old woman who had my period until I was 55 with horrendous perimenopause. I went on bio-identical hormone therapy after I my last period which occurred in all places, Cuba. Very hard to find a tampon. ;) I was on it for about a year or so with a pellet implant and was going through a lot of stress with a high tech job and taking care of my Mum who had Alzheimers disease. It helped tremendously. I went off it due to cost and I felt better. The night sweats came back at 58 and went back on it at a "pop up" sort of HRT place that also offered IV vitamins. Bad decision. I believe I was poisoned by too much progesterone. When Dr. Gottfried mentioned doing HRT earlier rather than later, I fully agree with that from my experience. Diet is crucial! Along with meditation, yoga, weight training and zone 2 cardio. Yes please, more on post menopause and neuroscience!

Also, wanted to pass along, I signed up for a CAC test that Sara mentioned at the end of the podcast. I googled it and found Lifeline Screening that will do the test for $159. I plugged in my zip code and was able to find at least 5 places nearby. I'm actually scheduled to go to a fire company in Allentown, PA for the test which sounds weird but , what the hell, should be interesting. Must be some kind of mobile unit.

@@emily2k111 This type of medicine is being taught to rare Doctors who practice Prevention including Weight Management and Integrative Concierge Medicine available for Wealthy and Smart and Educated people with focus on being healthy with optimal test markers and resulting in optimal health. This is because Health Insurance industry is preventing people to be treated proactively and prevent desease. They want you to develop desease and have proof of desease before they spend a dime on your health from the insurance premiums they collect, so they can be profitable while treating 40% of really sick people who are typically older and on Medicare which is designed to not cover Dental, Eyes, Hearing and of course not vitamins and minerals supplements and even deny care for Pre-Diabetes and Weight Management to those who are about become permanently Diabetic. So all of us can't benefit from any of these advanced Biomarkers Tests which are definitely not covered by Insurance. Few years ago I tried to ask for some of these advanced Biomarkers Tests (including testing now for Zinc and Vit MK7 or K2 and other Micronutrients deficiency due to my eyes issues - all in a top University Neurology Hospital Clinic and a young neurology resident refered me ASAP to see a clinic Psychiatrist for being overzealous about these prevention care and treatments (and sadly her educated in 3rd world country Indian professor was just nodded and they only ordered MRI instead of checking Vitamins deficiency found by other good doctor. In notes to the visit they twisted what happened during the appointment and my relative who came to accompany me was surprised). I ran to another good neurology doctor with 20 years in practice who was recommended to me by my children good doctor and who explained that Doctors are not allowed to order these Prevention and Diagnostics Tests and have to prove with numerous visits the underlying specific desease to Insurance or it's going to cost me $700 for Testing each of these micronutrients and the Lab Bill I would receive wouldn't be affordable as none of these Test were covered by Health Insurance (try to do this by Googling Zinc or Vitamin MK7 K2 (not part of a standard Blood Test) or Vitamin D3 or Iron deficiency which may show on the Test for years and yet your Doctor wouldn't prescribe it to me for over 20+ years and that obviously didn't help my health). So this good Neurology Doctor with 20 years in practice diagnosed my back aches and did recommend I tried to get some of these Vitamins on my own (and I confirmed safe dosages and reviewed few symptoms and Vitamins and Microelements I Googled in desperate quest to help my eyes. He said to try taking them on my own or try to get an Rx by my Primary Care for some of the most common ones to see if maybe my eye symptoms would improve (and they did), and he confirmed which Brands are known by being seemingly better as far as Supplements quality. Some of these Tests were given to me by stellar Gastroenterologist to whom one has about 8-9 months of waiting for an appointment. Some of these tests were also given to me by Endocrinologist to whom I was also referred by my good Dentist. Run to see good Doctors by referrals from healed patients and other Doctors you trust and don't attempt to navigate this on your own, as we are fortunate to at least read Books and listen to these wonderful Prevention and Integrative Concierge Medicine Doctors who we might be able to quote to our Doctors while documenting our symptoms in a daily diary so we could come prepared for each appointment and possibly gradually Test these Biomarkers. Ideally Doctors like Dr Sara Gottfried should have their Own Custom Blood and Microbiome Tests available in the Labs like LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics or their Own Private Lab of choice, so all apeople can self order these Prevention Tests and pay for what is not covered by their Health Insurance but at least have a Price Sticker for these Tests. Also ideally Dr. Sara Gottfried and other doctors should teach MDs advanced Prevention Methods so more doctors could heal patients before Desease takes over and starts killing us slowly while finally Health Insurance is paying for an undeniable proven for years Desease Diagnosis Code. 😢

This makes me so glad that I listened to my body and quit oral contraceptive early on. I was extremely sensitive, felt like I was going insane, would snap at the slightest thing--which I felt like I was outside of myself observing my reactions to things and not understanding why because it was not me but also uncontrollable, libido disappeared which was depressing as a young wife, it was the worst few months of my life. My obgyns solution? To put me on an antidepressant! I was very young and didn't know much about anything, but it made sense to me that if I need other meds to cope with bc pills, then the obvious solution was to quit the bc pills and voila, no antidepressants needed! And yes I fired that obgyn too, lol. Now knowing how harmful they could be, I am so thankful. Appreciate this talk so much, for so long I thought I was abnormal and alone.

I currently live in Scandinavia running a company in Asia related to aged care. Most of Dr. Huberman’s podcasts are related to ageing, brain health and longevity so I turned into a big fan ever since my son recommended this channel a couple of months ago. Personally as a 67-year-old Asian female I try to do everything correct to manage my health properly, yet I struggle with sleep. I have been using hormone replacement therapy as a sleeping remedy starting shortly after my menopause in my early 50’s, and Dr. Gottfried’s comments on HRT caught my attention. I understand that Alzheimer’s (or dementia in general) occurrence is higher for female population, and Dr. Gottfried’s comments on AD also caught my attention. Both topics are very important, but were covered very briefly at the end, so I would love to learn more. Finally, as an entrepreneur working in the aged care field, I find it extremely exciting that there are so many research ongoing which sort of turned upside down a lot of traditional ways of thinking - in AD, dementia, nutrition, gut health, etc. and so much of such information is now available for us thanks to brave scientists such as Dr. Huberman and many of his guests. I suspect many of earlier ways of thinking have been sown by big pharmas and other commercial interests. I am hoping that my company can reflect some of the latest and relevant knowledge for the future generations in Asia.

I hope to impart how incredibly helpful this conversation was to women of all ages. At 29 years old, I just went to a gynecologist (who is well respected and considered one of the best in my area) and I mentioned how I definitely feel a shift in my hormones, and described some cycle and mood changes that were alarming to me as they were radically different to my baseline experience. She pretty much dismissed it all as normal, but I knew deep down it’s anything but. Through this convo I connected the dots that my vegetable intake plummeting and overall approach of focusing more on weight management vs actual nutrition is probably the cause of my issues. A lot of female health is “well, if it gets REALLY bad, then come back. Otherwise, things feeling broken or wrong is normal”. That makes no sense to me. If I reported such a drastic shift with anything else, I’d need to get lab work done. But hormones always fall to the wayside and ironically affect our day to day life so significantly.
