This is one of the most informative, easy-to-comprehend, videos on Menopause and HRT. Thank you for educating me as I navigate on being in menopause and the pros and cons of HRT. I’m a fairly healthy 51 year woman and wasn’t sure of the symptoms I was feeling when I was in perimenopause, mainly brain-fog, vaginal dryness and low libido. My PCP suggested a low-dose of the estrogen patch and progestoreron capsule. I learned from this video it’s important to track this, so I’m going to reach out to my PCP to ask about how to know my current levels. Thank you! 😊

[sherrihahn]

Thank you. This has been very helpful. My doctor doesn't like HRT and I am going to take my notes from this informative video and present them to him to get the help I have been asking for, for years! Thank you again!

[betheardley]

[TheSalonLife]

Thank you kindly for all the information you are providing!

[angelao]

Wow! GREAT video!!! Very well done and thank you for your detailed information! I can't wait to talk to my doctor about this! I had a total hysterectomy in 1999 and I believe I am long overdue for a review of my hormones! Thank you!

[simonestewart]

The doctors st the Hormone Rebalance Centre are the best!!! Great video

[petra]

I really enjoyed that video and learnt a lot, thank you! Having lost 4.9% bone density in 1 year on my DEXA scan, I am now seriously considering HRT. Your info was very helpful.

[kathryncooper]

VERY informative video! I'm 74 years old, post-menopausal since age 38, and have always refused to take Premarin for ethical reasons. I have insomnia, weight control issues, dry skin, sore joints, and osteoporosis. I eat well and am otherwise in excellent health -- no heart disease or diabetes. Am I too old and far-gone to benefit from bioidentical hormones?

[carolsjohnston]

Thank you for a wonderful explanation of everything...very informative!

@drrajsree I have been using the wild yam cream for the first 3 weeks of the month. I have only just started and would love to know if this is the correct way. Is wild yam cream beneficial for menopause
