My insurance denied Wegovy, because they "do not cover medicine that lowers appetite, are for weight loss or wt gain"!!!

The va j cream they prescribe has horrible ingredients. I ain’t putting that crap in me.

Informative video, but disappointing. If you change your lifestyle, then you get the same results without being dependent on pharmaceuticals

Extremely good and helpful video that reflects my own experience. The only point i do not fully agree with is the dosage. It is hard to adjust doses with the single use pens. Here in Germany we have pens with 4 official doses where you count clicks and often it helps to reduce the dose / increase only half the dose to avoid side effects while having the good and helpful ones. I am not talking about microdosing and playing around without knowing what i am doing. But i lost 25 kilo by slowly increasing my dose until i was at 4mg every 8 days because even the starting dose was making me feel very uncomfortable. I also completely changed nutrition, learned which food to generally avoid because it is bad for me and did much more strength training and although i lost some muscle mass, i am now down to 2mg every 7 days, adding more and more refeed days while keeping my weight (i am still loosing a bit) and turning another 3 kg fat into muscle. Bloodwork is perfect, i am completely healthy with a HOMa of 0,9. But i am prepared to being on those peptides for the rest of my life if necessary. Hoping to cycle then at the lowest possible dose though.

If you can take the finish off of your car with it, you shouldn't drink it.

Time stamp?

Just go Carnivore: you can eat as much food as you like and you never get fat - plus, you have lots of energy!

My doctor will not give me estrogen!

i am slowly getting off a high protein high fat diet to reverse my insulin resistance :-( incorporating more whole foods like fruits and sweet potatoes.... Very hard but need a change in my 40s. Too much fat and animal proteins hurt my metabolism and doesnt give me energy anymore

Very informational👍. Thank you from Germany 💕♀️

What causes gums and teeth issues?

Very helpful, thank you!! I have always avoided more traditional/western medicine, mostly because I don't want to put chemicals (prescriptions) in my body. I can relate to many of the stories told here. Now that I am 56 I feel I need to get a "baseline" for heart reasons but also many other things I'm noticing (weight gain, muscle loss, unmotivated, brain fog, etc). Is there a particular type of doctor/practitioner I should seek out? I began researching Functional medicine doctors. I want to avoid the "here's some prozac" (which has happened to me when I tried to talk to a Dr. about Adrenal Fatigue about 15 years ago). Thank you!

I always enjoy listening to Dr. Gersh!! I even shared her name with my own hormone doctor. I am very particular to whom I listen to regarding podcasts, and Dr. Gersh is at the top. ❤

Thank you for this great info!!!❤❤❤❤

Great conversation… I had my hysterectomy at 42 & went on HRT … feeling great but… please continue to address women’s heart health

Thank you for this information!

I read her book! Good info but im wondering when she actually goes through menopause if her suggestions change. That is what happened with my functional doctor and her take on hormone therapy. She is still young so i think her degree is great but experience is better!!

Im surprised the testing she suggested!! Mammograms? Not thermography? All that radiation in screening!!!

F the vegans

Boring sorry i cannot understand the main points

Such an informative conversation and you both arso articulate and have such gentle soothing voices. I appreciate. Best wishes from Germany 💕♀️

Thank you. You briefly touched upon providers’ fears of medical malpractice litigation. This is a major issue that is not mentioned and addressed enough. Women are told to educate and advocate for ourselves, but this will change nothing about doctors’ ignorance of the topic of menopause and their malpractice fears. I would like to know why we’re not given a consent form / waiver of liability to sign? Please help us understand this and how it can be changed. Otherwise barely anything will change for women on this topic. I think the powerful statement of Dr Menn towards the end about none of the big cancer centers willing to give women with breast cancer local vaginal estrogen despite “thousands of studies” makes this more than clear.

I love Dr Menn, too! I love that she is not afraid to tell it like it is.

This attitude by clinicians toward elder women still proliferates today - very little has changed

I love Dr. Menn. Thank you both. As a 10 year breast cancer survivor , I relate to this very deeply!

For me, Gua Sha and red light therapy have been by far the most beneficial things for my face. I used a microcurrent device for 5 weeks and it absolutely made my face sag. Maybe I had a defective unit, but I now think it had a negative impact on the fat layer under my skin. I don't have the courage to try another one.

Dr. Gersh, your hair looks very nice today.🙂

You are fifty three?? Cynthia , you look fantastic🎉❤️😀

Lets stop talking about the "well meaning " clinicians who ignore womens symptoms and call it what it is : in most cases uneducated and close minded, unwilling to learn new material and the anti female bias in medicine that makes the male body the default norm.

Blaming the media for reporting relative risk( of breast cancer) is unfair. Lets put the blame on the misleading( lie) where it belongs: on the doctors who gave the press conference BEFORE their study was published. These doctors blocked input by their multiple principle investigators deliberately. The 3 person writing committee is responsible for the content of the press conference.One of the leaders of this fiascco wanted to shake up the medical world and he certainly did.

25 years post-menopause. Never felt better: but I have KETO to thank for that. Before keto I was getting older. Now I am younger. Clearly no good at maths though, ho ho.

How do you figure out your heart rate that burns fat beat for us?

I think dairy tends to be bio-individual. I've never had any problems with dairy. 🤷‍♀️ As a peri-menopausal woman, I consume casien protein shakes with Greek yogurt (other herbal and fiberous seeds) for lunch most days, and I don't experience the high glucose response. I'm also an active individual who does resistant weight training 2 to 3 times a week, walks multiple times (20-30 minutes) a day, and eats whole foods. Thank you for your podcast, Cynthia❣️ You have such a soothing voice. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us novices. 😊

Brilliant interview! I learnt so much! Thank you so very much!

Great podcast. I prefer going the natural route before jumping to pharmaceuticals because I mostly likely have reactions to these meds.

Such a great guest! Toooo many ads for your number of subscribers. Please just have then at the very beginning and end. It disturbs the learning opportunity Ty

Define the problem!!!🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

So organic soy products are good?

What a self-righteous, harmful, WOKE! It's not just the ones who do actual terrorism that are terrorists. All those who are part of the (religious) culture that backs them, nurses them, refuses to condemn them and fools the foolish by saying 'not everyone is a terrorist' are also, in effect, terrorists. So, this tired cliche, 'not everyone is a terrorist' does not say much at all, considering the fact that the millions who are terrorists at heart are the millions who supply oxygen to the ones who go on to realize their awful dream of putting to the sword those they deem 'blasphemers', as they have been doing since the seventh century. But the massive crowds of bumptious, first-world WOKES, who are ignorant of their own history or choose to turn a blind eye to it, because they are, ironically, WOKES, equally have blood on their hands. Remember the Crusades, fools, research it. For those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. Please, doc, stick to stuff that you know and don't stick your nose into politics in which you prove to be rather simple-minded.

Vaginal estradiol cream contains propylene glycol.

Penn Smith Skincare here on YT and her Facebook group are absolotely amazing and super helpful. I have learned all skin details from both sites

I love my Maysama red light mask and have definitely noticed a difference. Quality masks are key! And I LOVE my Ziip Halo (microcurrent). Both of these I would never be without. It is so easy these days to bring devices into the home

Can Esther share what brand sauna she uses? I have been researching and very overwhelmed what to choose. Also is she using estradiol .01%? Thank you. Terrific interview

Bonjour dans toutes les explications docteur dommage traduction française

I’m 43 and having some perimenopause symptoms so I asked my current gyno at my last visit about it. She said she doesn’t handle that and to try and find a functional doc to help. I tried my previous gyno office and they said I have to have proof of a mammogram to be seen for hormone therapy. I’ve contacted a couple functional med docs/NPs and they aren’t accepting new patients. I’d love to have a good suggestion for telehealth option! From OK btw. Thank you for this channel and all these conversations ❤

I’m in an area that has multiple option and/or I’ve utilized zoom. It’s cost prohibitive wherever you live. One of your associates charges $2,000 (ordering my own bloodwork) for a finite amount of access and time. Prices regular people out of the market.

Testosterone gave me my life back (I keep it at 200) but it took a year of going to different practitioners to get a prescription. Don’t give up, it’s life altering.

Is it good to for postmenopausal women, already on HRT, to start consuming soy milk etc. Or is this a problem? Thank you. Dr Gersh is always amazing 💛xx

Great episode. Lots of useful information. Need to go through this multiple times to get as much out as possible

Both of you are very knowledgeable, thank you for all of this very valuable info!
