Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopause: Synthetic Pharmaceutical Estrogen Plus Progesterone 43

HRT! Is it a poison from the devil? Or is it a gift from God? You hear so much about this stuff! But what’s the truth? If it’s so dangerous, why does it even exist? Are we all better off just using dietary, botanical, or herbal products that contain estrogen and progesterone? Are there any benefits to using HRT? And how does the HRT form of estrogen plus progesterone differ from that in birth control products?

In this tutorial, I’ll cover all these things and give you all the facts on HRT. No more wonders, fears, or insecurities. You’ll know the truth.

Thankyou Barbie. I’m 50 and in perimenopause. My doctor is prescribing me the cyclic HRT regimen in pill form. Grateful she listened to me and is happy to give me what I wanted. So thankful for your videos. 🌸

Hi Barbie~ Thanks so much for all your tutorials, the information you impart is invaluable!! I learned some of what you said in this video from my doctor when we discussed HRT (I have many familial risk factors for heart disease, osteoporosis, and alzheimers, but few for breast cancer) so I went on the Climara Pro patch. It's made a huge difference in my quality of life (sleep especially!!). My question is about the Climara Pro patch... it uses bioidentical estrogen, and a synthetic progesterone and when I looked online for info. on them, I came across only the scary info. you mention about the synthetic progesterone, so I wanted to get your thoughts on the progesterone in my patch & if I should be nervous about it. Thanks so much! xo ~angie

Well, it's definitely comforting to hear that I'm nowhere near being outside the window of opportunity for taking HRT. i was starting to worry a bit. Looking forward to my upcoming consultation.

Hello Dr. Menopause Barbie! I love love love you! I’m only on tutorial 43 but I intend on listening to them all. I am so happy I found you and am receiving all this great information and you are so easy to understand. I am trying to find a menopause specialist in my area. The last GYN I went to pretty much scolded me for being on estrogen and progesterone at my age of 66 years and taking it for the last 10 years! Needless to say, my visit was a short one. I won’t take to much space here but I do plan on contacting you for a consultation! Until then!🥰

I’m 27 and was diagnosed with premature menopause. There’s not a lot of information about HRT/Menopause online, so I‘m very thankful for your videos!
I think finding the right kind of medication to alleviate symptoms can be quite a lengthy, difficult process.
But your videos give me hope that there’s a solution that will bring back my quality of life. Today you made me realise that my progesterone dose is probably too high and causing depression. I had no idea this was a thing!
Much love to you 💕

Love love these tutorials. I am learning so much and thank you for dispelling so many myths and misconceptions I have had about HRT. Eye opening...most aren't afraid of birth control pills but so many scared to death about HRT, HRT doses lower than birth control, light bulb moment!!!

[chelleychelley]

By the way...I did watch it twice! I appreciate your hard work and the amazing information! I felt so well-armed when I spoke with my gyno. Last year I didn't feel confident...I just listened to her info about HRT and left afraid. The hot flashes, lack of energy and sleeping issues are manageable...but what really made me decide to try HRT is the long-term help in preventing osteo...so I'm so grateful for your help. God Bless

Menopause Barbie, i love you! Thank you for the light you shine on women’s lives! Be blessed! 💗

Your videos are so empowering. I went to the doctor today here in Australia with ALL my symptoms and history in peri menopause at 50, and everything I learned from your videos. She totally got it.
She’s doing all my blood work and I’ll be getting PROMETRIUM 200mg (cyclical in tablet form at night) and start a ESTRODIAL PATCH 0.05 dose to begin with. She prescribed this without getting lab results first. Thanks so much Barbie. 😊

[glendahawkins]

Got the quiz question correct! I’ve been paying attention! 😊

[AngelaJones]

I love you so much Dr. Taylor!!! I am a Nurse practitioner. I have been doing womens health for the state of Arkansas. Occasionally I get older women as patients but mostly young women. However, I have been dealing with peri menopause myself and have been to several practitioners and it seems no one knows what to do but push pellets or have no concern. You have taught me so much in just these videos I have watched total. I can’t wait to keep learning. I’m having to watch 2-3 of these a day to catch up on your classes!!!

[maygirl]

I'm so happy today ..your MENOPAUSE book came in the mail today 👏👏👏watching and learning I've decided I will be definitely taking estrogen..I had hysterectomy..i mean ( subtotalhysterectomy, bilateral, Salpingo-oophorectony) 😊 I'm learning so much from you ..thank you so much for doing this for us ..I'm 52 brac2 ...I'm going to see a specialist in 3 weeks ..hopefully she will not deny me ..I'm preparing and writing notes down as I'm learning from you ...again thank you.

[cubanaspain]

Dr. Taylor, THANK YOU so much for your channel and for teaching us about menopause. I have learned so much from your tutorials and feel that I can now begin to make an educated decision about my menopause treatment options. You are a wonderful speaker and teacher, and your love of education and awareness is evident in every video!

[linda.said]

Thank you ever so much for all your videos! They have helped me immensly. I have been mislead for many years...now I can make my own decisions based on facts not misconceptions!

Its Tuesday...time for Menopause Barbie! No period for 6 years and to be truthful, I don't miss them! I would say for me personally, my mood swings were worse when I got my periods then they are in this stage of my life.

[casperinsight]

Yay 🙌 I passed 😎
After watching your videos I prefer to try the skin patch for systemic delivery with lower side effects, namely blog clots.
I want estrogen to prevent three big diseases of Osteo, heart attacks & alzeimers, long term therapy with progesterone to reduce risk of ovarian cancer.
I choose to try the regulated pharmaceutical HRT option of bio similar/identical hormone therapy to easily balance estrogen/progesterone.
Timing is everything, we have a decade from post meno to prevent diseases, Decreased risk of heart attack, after 10 yrs increases risk of stroke, clots, heart attack and breast cancer. Early HRT reduces risk of Alzheimer's. Reduced risk of osteoporosis long term is reduced early or later if pharmaceutical grade or bio identical. The Benefits outweigh The risks of HRT timing is crucial 💥 HRT does not make you gain weight 😎
Menopause Taylor, my question is which episode discusses estrogen and migraine risks, Appreciated 😘TY

[catnipbarbie]

I'm watching this video twice. I love this information. I'm so scared of going to the doctor and them telling me what they told my mom. "We don't give HRT therapy, it causes cancer." I don't want to suffer the way she did. I'm currently peri-menopausal and the hot flashes are no joke. I want quality of life. Oh how I wish you were my doctor, Dr. Barbie.

[mariadejucilene]

I talked to my beautiful sister about you today. She said you are a Change Angel 🌷🌷🌷Now onto telling the rest of my tribe.

[lupegarcia]

OMG! You are so right. I'm watching it again cause I was wrong from listening to all those stories of how bad HRT are for your body🤔🙄. Thank You

[Eyestars]

I know I should not be jumping all over but the videos are just popping up on my timeline. So informative.
