these young girls out there have NO idea what’s to come! they should teach all about hormones perimenopause menopause post menopause in high school SO these girls know what’s to come because it’s NOT peaches 🍑 and cream when they hit these transition years!

I did FemHRT when i first started menopause. Now, 15 years later, I have different symptoms & have just started on vaginal cream which has been a life saver. We don't need to suffer in silence when there is help out there for us.

So helpful! I am just beginning my journey into HRT. There is so much information and it can be really confusing, but you break it down in a way that's simple to understand, so thank you for that! My GYN just became a member of NAMS, so I'm excited to have this conversation with her.

I Heather certainly delivers the validity of understanding the pros and cons of bio, identical, hormone replacement. What I really like about her educational delivery is the way that she delivers the words and how she delivers it, it’s almost like she should be her own Teleprompter. That’s how good she is. I really value everything that anybody is investigating here because women have a system not like myself, a male, but something complicated, perpetually needs maintenance. Therefore, the more you know about your motor the better off your car will run.

I wish more awareness will be on Palpitations, thankfully, Oprah is putting it out there but I wish OBGYN will be more proactive. I was having all the peri menopause sysmtoms and palpitations after cardiologist checked me out with TONs of test he was like look your heart is strong, this is hormonal. I was 😮. Then Oprah came out with it, after my HRT palpitations are gone, I sleep like a baby.

Absolutely awesome video. You are articulate and evidence based and a great educator. I’m on a mission to understand the risk/benefit ratio of HRT and have watched a lot of big name bloggers and was left unimpressed. This is wonderful. Thank you!!! I subscribed!!!

I didn’t know that you are heading up MIDI! I just had my first visit yesterday and I’m so pleased. My provider is helping me transition off compounded topical bi-est, oral progesterone, and topical testosterone that I’ve been in for 7 years. I’ve been searching for help for 2 years. MIDI accepts my insurance! I’m excited for my future. Thank you so much.

[rhondaurb]

Thank you for this great and informative video

[chubbsy]

Thank you for all this info. I’m going through it now and I am having the hardest time to find a doctor that doesn’t try to talk me into pellets or birth control pills.

[Tara-jtyk]

FDA approved HRT regiments, transdermal or oral, dosage . Thanks ! Very helpful Dr

[anastaciaromanenko]

Your videos are Fantastic! ThAnk YoU! 🌿💗🌿

[jenb]

Wow!! I just checked out the MIDI site and the service looks FANTASTIC!!! I want you to know how much of a difference you all are going to make in the lives of women across the country. While you are up to date in the latest science regarding HRT, unfortunately those of us that live in small town USA are still dealing with physicians who still fear HRT. As soon as you service Ohio, I’ll be scheduling a consultation!

Please let me know what strength of estradiol and progesterone will provide secondary benefits for post menopausal women. Thank you

[Shannon]

I can not wait till my state opens with midi!

[bc]

Do Perimenopausal women tend to do better on hrt compared to birth control pills?

[aristac]

Can you use it as a preventative if you don’t have these symptoms? For insomnia, and skin and bones and muscles ?

[wearelegion]

Went thru menopause at 58. Am now 66 & never had a doctor who would prescribe HRT until very recently. So I just started on the estradiol & progesterone CombiPatch yesterday. I guess I'm too late to get most of the protective benefits since I'm over 65 when starting HRT 😞

I just recently heard about increased risk of dementia from HRT. Do you have video on same? Thoughts?

[jessieandmatthewsmom]

When can I start HRT? If I don't yet have symptoms eg, hot flashes, should I wait till 1 year after last period, or can I start before that for the other benefits HRT provides?
