Why are there over 10 testosterone replacements for men but absolutely none that have been approved by the FDA for women? Can you say misogynistic medicine and research, Let me break down why women need testosterone in their lives and what it can feel like when you dont have enough

Ladies, when you start testosterone therapy YOU want to be in control of the dosage. The only way to do this effectively is to use it transdermally. This allows you to control the dose if you experience side effects and allows you to better understand how it works in your body.

Thanks for this video. Do you have any comment about intolerance to both testosterone and DHEA due to cystic acne? I have tried both only briefly in the past, and even at 77 still on HRT, I still get a worsening of painful acne cysts when testosterone is added, even though lab levels are often low or non-existant.

Hello! Been watching your videos please keep making more on HRT, Womens help we need the info & support! ❤ Testosterone cream where is the best place to apply? I love T cream as it’s helped with energy , strength but hasn’t really done anything for libido and prior to perimenopause I had no issue in that department 😢 HRT has helped with tons of symptoms, but libido still challenging and weight gain even being on testosterone, estrogen patch and progesterone capsules. Does Femmenessence support libido? I’ve tried other maca and it didn’t really do anything. Appreciate your videos and support of women ❤👍

I'm 64 and have Hashimoto Hypothyroidism; Went to my OB/GYN for my annual pap smear two weeks ago and he said he couldn't even get a pap smear because I had vaginal atrophy. He gave me an rx for Estradiol cream. Two years ago, he prescribed Premarin, and I was scared to use it. I haven't had sex with my husband (I am embarrassed to say, at least 2 years. It's too painful and I just gave up. Why am I so nervous to take the dam cream?!?!?!?!

I use it too and it is so soothing. Only positive! Try it out. It's absolutely safe. You would have to use vaginal creams for ONE YEAR to get the same dose as 1 systemic portion of estrogen! It is next to nothing as it is estriol... you can also watch the videos of Doctor Rachel Rubin. She is also brilliant 💪. Best wishes here from Germany 🇩🇪

Use Estradiol cream 0.1% instead of Premarin. Ask for a prescription. It's wonderful for vaginal atrophy.
@sweetpeace5

NO TO PREMARIN! Glad you didn’t take it. Women really should try to avoid oral estrogen if at all possible & always try Estrodiol cream or patch before resorting to oral. You need vaginal estrogen cream or insert though to get things back in order down there. Sorry you’ve lived with it this long 😢

If a woman is already experiencing female pattern baldness and occasional facial hair (one cheek and under chin) during peri and now postmeno, would starting T be counterproductive (Estadriol/Prog didn't decrease these "symptoms")? Should she get DHT tested?

THANK YOU!!! I’ll be getting in contact, I’m in corpus. I’d like you to talk about PMDD. College age Daughter has it, i had it until i had partial hysterectomy. No dtr. addresses it, it must have some hormonal aspect bc it comes a week before a period. This is bad, it’s horrible for anyone in a relationship with that person. Basically you see everything in a bad light and you want to off yourself the week prior, every month. Thx!

I heard another practitioner say that hormonal creams are dangerous because of the risk to children who may absorb when being in contact with the one wearing the cream. I have ceased using my progesterone cream for this reason. What are your thoughts on this? Also i have female pattern baldness (determined through biopsy) but my DHT levels were not elevated and my testosterone was low. Have you seen this before? I am asking because I’d like to try testosterone but have concerns re. Hair loss.

Hello from North Carolina!! What are your thoughts on taking dihydroberine while doing TRT? I'm 49, menopause for almost 4 years now and definitely low testosterone. My latest bloodwork showed that my total T was 7 and my free T was .7. I have read that berberine can increase SHBG and lower freeT. Just curious what you've seen with your patients on this combination. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and I love your music on your Instagram stories :)

Recently started on testosterone gel, just a finger tip amount per day, as suffering with muscle loss, but i am feeling so much better in terms of energy and slowly building muscle. I think i was always low in testosterone, my whole life! Would you recommend for muscle loss? . I am doing a daily weights programme too. 2 years ago all hormones were super low, so I'm on DHEA (if i forget to take it my tolarence level drops significantly) and all hormones now, and all going well, finally. Get my Dexa scan results on Monday. I'm only 59 , but already 10 years menopausal!! I will look for the book on Amazon for sure, but not sure if i can get it here in Europe. So any ideas for muscle loss (apart from doing weights, as I'm already doing this). Cheers

Had radical hysterectomy in 2005 been doing just about every hormone therapy out there since then. I did pellets for about a year...not anymore..too expensive and think it had something to do with my hair loss. Problem many dr's don't take insurance anymore and if they do insurance won't cover the hormones. Got some testosterone shots that cost $150 which I didn't have and husband gives me shot every week but it is small amount and this will only last 3 months. I also take 2 estradiol tablets and 2 progesterone at night. I have absolutely no energy or motivation. This isn't working. I am about to crawl in a hole and give up.

I tried pills, patches and gels nothing worked. I started Depoestriol injections, 1/2 CC every month. The doctor approved my injectable hormone therapy because he said my body doesn't absorb estrogen. Should I reconsider and try something else? I am 69 years, don't smoke/drink, active and weigh 125LBS. I have maintained my weight 115-130 for 45 years. Any suggestions, thank you very much.

You need to stop lumping injections in with pellets. Injections can be micro dosed biweekly at home and are a great delivery method. I self inject t cyp and e cyp no one is profiting off me doing my own injections. Pellets are awful but injections are great.
@ShawnTassoneMDPhD
@ShawnTassoneMDPhD 3 ай бұрын
I don’t have to stop lumping them together because they both suck. Injections are simply a horrible way to dose hormones the release is a jagged sawtooth pattern and there is no such things as micro dosing. It’s not a good way to do hormones but you can do whatever you want

So I am 64. Not in a sexual relationship and generally ready for bed by 7 pm. Ive lost my mojo. I had a total hysterectomy at about age 50. When i did, my adrenal glands and thyroid quit. I was on steroids for approximately 8 years then weaned off of them. I am still hypothyroid. I was on an estriadol patch until my endocrinologist said i was past all the symptoms of menopause then she stopped prescibing it. Im also concerned about my sex drive. How do i converse with her about remaining on estriadiol and maybe some testosterone. I feel like I'm 80. Im onw monrh shy of 65

Me also I'm 67 and my doctor said he would not prescribe estradiol until I had a mammogram. I had a mammogram at the age of 44 and of course they found the fibroid cysts that run through my family; telling me I needed a biopsy. I declined the offer and I'm now 67 years old

I take estrogen, progesterone & testosterone via compounded vaginal tablet (like a pill). I’ve found it’s almost unheard of method as there’s NOBODY that has mentioned this method in ALL my hours/years of research. In addition I added an estrogen cream because I was not absorbing enough vaginally & had night hot flashes. Have you ever used or heard of this method? It’s been great for me for a few years but it’s almost unheard of method.
