nitiating hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone at the onset of menopause has been associated with various health benefits. Below is a summary of the potential reductions in disease risk: 1. Osteoporotic Fractures: Risk Reduction: HRT has been shown to decrease the risk of osteoporotic fractures by approximately 33%. Reference: UPTODATE 2. Colorectal Cancer: Risk Reduction: Some studies suggest a reduction in colorectal cancer risk among HRT users, though specific percentages vary. Reference: U.S. PREVENTIVE SERVICES TASK FORCE 3. Type 2 Diabetes: Risk Reduction: HRT may lower the incidence of type 2 diabetes, with some studies indicating a relative risk reduction of about 30%. Reference: U.S. PREVENTIVE SERVICES TASK FORCE 4. Cardiovascular Disease: Risk Reduction: When initiated in women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause onset, HRT may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by approximately 30%. Reference: AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY 5. All-Cause Mortality: Risk Reduction: Some analyses indicate a reduction in all-cause mortality among HRT users, though exact percentages can vary based on study design and population. Reference: BMC WOMEN'S HEALTH It's important to note that while these potential benefits exist, HRT should be individualized based on a woman's health profile and discussed with a healthcare provider.

You feel your way through the dosing until you feel well and strong. Don't underdose it. You want to feel younger. You need hormones in balance. You might need other treatments too. Especially if you have had Covid and autoimmune. Covid means more treatments to feel well and strong. coaching at [email protected]

Benefits stop when hormones stop at menopause when your own hormones go to near zero.

I'm sorry to hear this. the gels require a lot of product, typically. I would double the dose and look for mental health improvements. it might not be enough. Patches, if you can keep them on, give more product when placed on thin skin. Perhaps start testing blood levels to be sure you are getting it into the body. Add testosterone. Balance hormones. Nutrition must be anti inflammatory to keep receptors sensitive, I always recommend AIP to decrease autoimmune activity. Add anti inflammatories and treat Covid with FLCCC protocols. HRT use is complex. Come to coaching for personalized care that accelerates recovery. Most women benefit within a few days. email [email protected]

And of course if you have Long Covid, you treat that with non toxic drugs. We did have a pandemic. Most of my clients are damaged by Covid or vaccines and need treatment and guidance. That's what coaching does. There is a lot to consider. This is not the menopause of decades past. This is new. You might need more than HRT. Most likely you do. The KZbin algorithm only gives my videos to women with autoimmune. You have a complex health situation that could benefit from coaching. This will take multiple doctors and treatments for you to recover.

We should always test thyroid if we have low energy. It can be injured by autoimmune activity. Autoimmune activity is often triggered with low hormones of menopause. This doesn't always mean that HRT is all you need to stop thyroid medication. This is personal. Your genetics will affect this. Many women tell me they don't take thyroid medication yet one of their supplements is actually thyroid medication- but named "thyroid support". There is a lot of confusion out there. This is why coaching exists. email: [email protected]. Build Your Personal Plan

Hormones go to near zero at menopause. These are an important part of building your body and getting things done in the body. If you put them back in, diseases are delayed or avoided. Many, many diseases depend on hormones, diet, exercise, sleep, etc. We do this for low thyroid and low insulin. We need to also do this at menopause for estradiol, progesterone, testosterone - and likely endorphins, melatonin, Vitamin D pro hormone, magnesium, etc. Menopause is a crisis when an organ in your body stops working. That means harm to the body. That means accelerated aging. That means an early death for many women. This doesn't have to happen. We need the hormones. There are thousands of videos on KZbin now to tell you about this. I'm sorry that you are not taking the time to learn. That will hurt you in the long run. Most diseases start at menopause. Yes, it is the way we are designed, but, no it's not the ideal way to support your body. In wellness, Kitty

I'm sorry for this! So much injustice in menopause care. We have to be fully informed on hormones. We can't just "obey the white coats". I had a similar IUD response. I lasted one day on it. Identical hormones are best for every woman. The doctor's guidelines allow for other products. We have to be careful. Nutrition activates the HRT. Our body has to be uninflammed for receptors to bring in the HRT. Inflammatory diets are impossible in menopause. Other anti inflammatories might be needed. We have to treat Covid to avoid a long term infection that causes inflammation. Our body is all one system. Stay well and strong. Kitty

Vaginal lubrication is both estradiol and testosterone. Don't forget testosterone!

I don't give personal advice without a coaching relationship. If anyone does this, you are likely to get into health trouble. Your diet affects your HRT. Women don't want to believe this. They want to make it all an easy thing. Menopause is a health crisis that needs tending to. 370 drugs interfere with HRT. Poor diet interferes with HRT. Menopause is the beginning of most diseases of aging. We use HRT with nutrition to make the HRT work better and avoid issues of overdosing. Your symptoms will tell us a lot. There are over 159+ symptoms that tell us what the HRT is doing in your body. HRT is a process. Please use an expert. Watching more videos won't help you.

My clients with leyomyomas are seeing them shrink with optimized HRT, nutrition, light therapy, supplements and treatment of infections. It's complex, but very positive with the right supports. It's likely you have different tissue and higher needs for nutrients. You can learn more in coaching and/or going to a Functional Medicine Doctor. Don't just wait this out. email [email protected]

No. It's not "fair". Nothing replaces hormones like HRT. Nutrition will activate the HRT. Nutrition will process the HRT. Lower insulin, based on diet, will keep the estradiol in the tissues instead of stored in fat cells where it won't work well. I use HRT Plus -- additional hormones, herbs and non-toxic anti inflammatories. Inflammation will desensitize the hormone receptors and will keep the HRT from working. It's a big plan to stay well and strong. Coaching can always help move you along the path to strength. email [email protected]. Build Your Personal Plan

People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may have an increased risk of several medical and psychological conditions, often referred to as “comorbidities” (conditions that occur alongside autism). The presence of these conditions can vary widely from person to person, and they can influence the individual’s overall health and quality of life. Here are some of the common comorbidities and associated increased risks: 1. Mental Health Disorders • Anxiety: People with autism are at a significantly higher risk of developing anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and phobias. Studies suggest that up to 40-50% of individuals with autism experience anxiety symptoms. • Depression: Rates of depression are higher in individuals with ASD, especially in adolescents and adults. It’s estimated that around 20-40% of autistic individuals may experience depression at some point. • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Many individuals with autism exhibit repetitive behaviors or obsessive interests, and some may also develop OCD. The overlap between OCD and ASD can make it difficult to differentiate between the two. • ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder): ADHD is common in those with ASD, with estimates showing that 30-50% of individuals with autism also have symptoms of ADHD. 2. Gastrointestinal (GI) Disorders • GI issues: People with ASD often experience gastrointestinal problems, including chronic constipation, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Studies suggest that 30-70% of individuals with autism have some form of GI disturbance. • Food sensitivities and allergies: Autistic individuals may have increased sensitivities to certain foods, which can contribute to GI issues or dietary imbalances. 3. Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders • There is a significantly higher prevalence of epilepsy in individuals with autism, with estimates ranging from 20-30%. Seizure disorders may develop at any age but are more common in childhood and adolescence, or even later in adulthood. • Sleep disturbances: Autism is often associated with disrupted sleep patterns, including difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early. 4. Immune System Dysregulation • Some studies suggest that people with autism may have abnormalities in immune function, leading to a higher susceptibility to autoimmune conditions such as allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disorders like type 1 diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. 5. Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders • Obesity: Autistic individuals may have a higher risk of obesity due to poor diet, limited physical activity, and medication side effects. • Diabetes: Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have been noted as more common in individuals with autism, although this may also relate to lifestyle factors, including diet and activity levels. • Thyroid disorders: Some research suggests a higher risk of thyroid dysfunction in individuals with ASD. 6. Intellectual Disability • A significant proportion of individuals with autism also have intellectual disabilities, although this varies based on the severity of the autism. Intellectual disability increases the risk of cognitive impairments and challenges with daily functioning. 7. Sleep Disorders • Many individuals with autism have difficulties with sleep, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and irregular sleep-wake patterns. Up to 50-80% of autistic children experience chronic sleep issues, which can exacerbate other behavioral and health challenges. 8. Eating Disorders • Feeding difficulties: People with autism often have sensory sensitivities that can affect eating habits, leading to food selectivity, picky eating, or texture aversions. This can result in nutritional deficiencies. • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID): Some individuals with autism develop ARFID, a type of eating disorder characterized by extreme picky eating or avoidance of foods. 9. Motor Coordination Issues • Individuals with ASD may experience problems with motor coordination, including fine and gross motor skills. Dyspraxia (difficulty in movement and coordination) is commonly associated with autism. 10. Cardiovascular Conditions • Some research has suggested an increased risk of heart-related issues, particularly in those with severe autism or who also have other comorbid conditions. These could include heart arrhythmias or other cardiovascular issues, though more research is needed in this area. 11. Schizophrenia • The risk of developing schizophrenia later in life is higher in people with autism, especially during late adolescence or adulthood. However, this is a rare comorbidity, affecting only a small percentage of autistic individuals. 12. Sensory Processing Disorder • Many individuals with autism have sensory sensitivities, which can manifest as hyper- or hypo-reactivity to stimuli like sound, touch, light, or smell. Sensory processing issues can cause significant stress and discomfort in daily life. 13. Higher Risk of Injury • Individuals with autism may have a higher risk of injury due to behavioral challenges, wandering/elopement, or a lack of awareness of physical dangers. This is particularly a concern for children with autism. 14. Autoimmune Conditions • There is growing evidence to suggest a connection between autism and certain autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis, celiac disease, or multiple sclerosis. However, more research is needed to fully understand this relationship. Summary of Health Risks for Autistic Individuals: • Mental Health: Anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD • Neurological: Epilepsy, sleep disorders, motor coordination issues • Gastrointestinal: Constipation, diarrhea, IBS • Immune: Autoimmune conditions, allergies • Metabolic: Obesity, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction • Cardiovascular: Possible increased risk of heart issues • Other: Sensory processing disorders, injury risks, intellectual disability Overall, people with autism are at higher risk for a variety of physical and mental health conditions, and it’s crucial that they receive comprehensive, individualized healthcare to address these comorbidities effectively.

The presence of these conditions can vary widely from person to person, and they can influence the individual’s overall health and quality of life. Here are some of the common comorbidities and associated increased risks: 1. Mental Health Disorders • Anxiety: People with autism are at a significantly higher risk of developing anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and phobias. Studies suggest that up to 40-50% of individuals with autism experience anxiety symptoms. • Depression: Rates of depression are higher in individuals with ASD, especially in adolescents and adults. It’s estimated that around 20-40% of autistic individuals may experience depression at some point. • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Many individuals with autism exhibit repetitive behaviors or obsessive interests, and some may also develop OCD. The overlap between OCD and ASD can make it difficult to differentiate between the two. • ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder): ADHD is common in those with ASD, with estimates showing that 30-50% of individuals with autism also have symptoms of ADHD. 2. Gastrointestinal (GI) Disorders • GI issues: People with ASD often experience gastrointestinal problems, including chronic constipation, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Studies suggest that 30-70% of individuals with autism have some form of GI disturbance. • Food sensitivities and allergies: Autistic individuals may have increased sensitivities to certain foods, which can contribute to GI issues or dietary imbalances. 3. Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders • There is a significantly higher prevalence of epilepsy in individuals with autism, with estimates ranging from 20-30%. Seizure disorders may develop at any age but are more common in childhood and adolescence, or even later in adulthood. • Sleep disturbances: Autism is often associated with disrupted sleep patterns, including difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early. 4. Immune System Dysregulation • Some studies suggest that people with autism may have abnormalities in immune function, leading to a higher susceptibility to autoimmune conditions such as allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disorders like type 1 diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. 5. Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders • Obesity: Autistic individuals may have a higher risk of obesity due to poor diet, limited physical activity, and medication side effects. • Diabetes: Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have been noted as more common in individuals with autism, although this may also relate to lifestyle factors, including diet and activity levels. • Thyroid disorders: Some research suggests a higher risk of thyroid dysfunction in individuals with ASD. 6. Intellectual Disability • A significant proportion of individuals with autism also have intellectual disabilities, although this varies based on the severity of the autism. Intellectual disability increases the risk of cognitive impairments and challenges with daily functioning. 7. Sleep Disorders • Many individuals with autism have difficulties with sleep, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and irregular sleep-wake patterns. Up to 50-80% of autistic children experience chronic sleep issues, which can exacerbate other behavioral and health challenges. 8. Eating Disorders • Feeding difficulties: People with autism often have sensory sensitivities that can affect eating habits, leading to food selectivity, picky eating, or texture aversions. This can result in nutritional deficiencies. • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID): Some individuals with autism develop ARFID, a type of eating disorder characterized by extreme picky eating or avoidance of foods. 9. Motor Coordination Issues • Individuals with ASD may experience problems with motor coordination, including fine and gross motor skills. Dyspraxia (difficulty in movement and coordination) is commonly associated with autism. 10. Cardiovascular Conditions • Some research has suggested an increased risk of heart-related issues, particularly in those with severe autism or who also have other comorbid conditions. These could include heart arrhythmias or other cardiovascular issues, though more research is needed in this area. 11. Schizophrenia • The risk of developing schizophrenia later in life is higher in people with autism, especially during late adolescence or adulthood. However, this is a rare comorbidity, affecting only a small percentage of autistic individuals. 12. Sensory Processing Disorder • Many individuals with autism have sensory sensitivities, which can manifest as hyper- or hypo-reactivity to stimuli like sound, touch, light, or smell. Sensory processing issues can cause significant stress and discomfort in daily life. 13. Higher Risk of Injury • Individuals with autism may have a higher risk of injury due to behavioral challenges, wandering/elopement, or a lack of awareness of physical dangers. This is particularly a concern for children with autism. 14. Autoimmune Conditions • There is growing evidence to suggest a connection between autism and certain autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis, celiac disease, or multiple sclerosis. However, more research is needed to fully understand this relationship. Summary of Health Risks for Autistic Individuals: • Mental Health: Anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD • Neurological: Epilepsy, sleep disorders, motor coordination issues • Gastrointestinal: Constipation, diarrhea, IBS • Immune: Autoimmune conditions, allergies • Metabolic: Obesity, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction • Cardiovascular: Possible increased risk of heart issues • Other: Sensory processing disorders, injury risks, intellectual disability Overall, people with autism are at higher risk for a variety of physical and mental health conditions, and it’s crucial that they receive comprehensive, individualized healthcare to address these comorbidities effectively.

nitiating hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone at the onset of menopause has been associated with various health benefits. Below is a summary of the potential reductions in disease risk: 1. Osteoporotic Fractures: Risk Reduction: HRT has been shown to decrease the risk of osteoporotic fractures by approximately 33%. Reference: UPTODATE 2. Colorectal Cancer: Risk Reduction: Some studies suggest a reduction in colorectal cancer risk among HRT users, though specific percentages vary. Reference: U.S. PREVENTIVE SERVICES TASK FORCE 3. Type 2 Diabetes: Risk Reduction: HRT may lower the incidence of type 2 diabetes, with some studies indicating a relative risk reduction of about 30%. Reference: U.S. PREVENTIVE SERVICES TASK FORCE 4. Cardiovascular Disease: Risk Reduction: When initiated in women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause onset, HRT may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by approximately 30%. Reference: AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY 5. All-Cause Mortality: Risk Reduction: Some analyses indicate a reduction in all-cause mortality among HRT users, though exact percentages can vary based on study design and population. Reference: BMC WOMEN'S HEALTH It's important to note that while these potential benefits exist, HRT should be individualized based on a woman's health profile and discussed with a healthcare provider.

Your response to testosterone is personal, Some women do not respond at all. Diet must be enhanced. Low protein diets will not activate the testosterone. Diet always matters. It is the key to half of your symptoms! I never hide this, but some clients reject the idea of high nutrients. You need to develop new cooking skills to get the most out of HRT. I can't change how the body works. I can't say, "Do all the HRT, but diet doesn't matter." Diet always matters. If you have Covid remnants in your body you won't get good results from HRT.

What is a high dose of estradiol I'm on 0.04mg/24 hour patch. I'm 54 year old women and started 3 weeks ago. My regular Gyn would not prescribe got my prescription from Evernow. Was also prescribed 100 mg progesterone.

Dosing depends on your personal response. Diet interacts with HRT. High fiber is critical. Protein should be 1.5 g/kg body weight. You might still have covid remnants in your body. This depends on your immune health. Many woman can't clear Covid or vaccine and have remnants. You might need Long Covid Treatments - especially if you have had Fibro or Chronic Fatigue previously.

Bodies of "autistic" which includes most high iq, have a vast number of different underdeveloped areas of the body. For example, collagen, which is up to 30% of the body is often over or underproduced in autistic people. You might see extra soft skin or very wrinkled skin. This is a collagen difference. I have a full report for clients, of course. email [email protected]

We also have evidence of high neuroendocrine problems. Higher levels of addictions with ADHD. Higher levels of anxiety and depression. Likely higher needs for Vitamin A. More likely to have disordered eating and low nutrient levels. Sleep disorders that link to higher neurodegenerative disorders. Less likely to focus on self. More sensitivity making healthcare visits less productive. Pain might keep some from going to the doctor. 88% of ObGyn don’t understand needs of neurodivergent. Most of my clients are uncomfortable with the experiments needed at menopause. Some can only eat comfort foods -/ missing nutrients. Some are fixated on a number on the scale instead of nutrients. There are 80 nutrients to track on Cronometer. We have higher nutritional needs as we age. Often neurodivergent clients can only focus on one solution at a time. This makes for slow or no recovery. ❤️‍🩹. It’s complex. Many sense a decline in productivity but do not understand that hormones and nutrients are needed. Autistic children lean into high fat, high carb foods as brain stimulation. Many autistic children and teens are hospitalized from health problems caused by low nutrition. Communication problems are part of an autistic diagnosis That makes finding solutions difficult. Autistic women are drawn to coaching in order to have more power and control in the doctors office.

Hypermobility is also common with ADHD. This causes more complex joint problems at menopause.

Rates of anxiety and depression are higher in neurodivergent menopause.

Psychiatric help is more common at menopause. Even schizophrenia can be a new menopause diagnosis. It’s important to look for practitioners that understand neurodivergent risks.

People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may have an increased risk of several medical and psychological conditions, often referred to as “comorbidities” (conditions that occur alongside autism). The presence of these conditions can vary widely from person to person, and they can influence the individual’s overall health and quality of life. Here are some of the common comorbidities and associated increased risks: 1. Mental Health Disorders • Anxiety: People with autism are at a significantly higher risk of developing anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and phobias. Studies suggest that up to 40-50% of individuals with autism experience anxiety symptoms. • Depression: Rates of depression are higher in individuals with ASD, especially in adolescents and adults. It’s estimated that around 20-40% of autistic individuals may experience depression at some point. • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Many individuals with autism exhibit repetitive behaviors or obsessive interests, and some may also develop OCD. The overlap between OCD and ASD can make it difficult to differentiate between the two. • ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder): ADHD is common in those with ASD, with estimates showing that 30-50% of individuals with autism also have symptoms of ADHD. 2. Gastrointestinal (GI) Disorders • GI issues: People with ASD often experience gastrointestinal problems, including chronic constipation, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Studies suggest that 30-70% of individuals with autism have some form of GI disturbance. • Food sensitivities and allergies: Autistic individuals may have increased sensitivities to certain foods, which can contribute to GI issues or dietary imbalances. 3. Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders • There is a significantly higher prevalence of epilepsy in individuals with autism, with estimates ranging from 20-30%. Seizure disorders may develop at any age but are more common in childhood and adolescence, or even later in adulthood. • Sleep disturbances: Autism is often associated with disrupted sleep patterns, including difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early. 4. Immune System Dysregulation • Some studies suggest that people with autism may have abnormalities in immune function, leading to a higher susceptibility to autoimmune conditions such as allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disorders like type 1 diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. 5. Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders • Obesity: Autistic individuals may have a higher risk of obesity due to poor diet, limited physical activity, and medication side effects. • Diabetes: Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have been noted as more common in individuals with autism, although this may also relate to lifestyle factors, including diet and activity levels. • Thyroid disorders: Some research suggests a higher risk of thyroid dysfunction in individuals with ASD. 6. Intellectual Disability • A significant proportion of individuals with autism also have intellectual disabilities, although this varies based on the severity of the autism. Intellectual disability increases the risk of cognitive impairments and challenges with daily functioning. 7. Sleep Disorders • Many individuals with autism have difficulties with sleep, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and irregular sleep-wake patterns. Up to 50-80% of autistic children experience chronic sleep issues, which can exacerbate other behavioral and health challenges. 8. Eating Disorders • Feeding difficulties: People with autism often have sensory sensitivities that can affect eating habits, leading to food selectivity, picky eating, or texture aversions. This can result in nutritional deficiencies. • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID): Some individuals with autism develop ARFID, a type of eating disorder characterized by extreme picky eating or avoidance of foods. 9. Motor Coordination Issues • Individuals with ASD may experience problems with motor coordination, including fine and gross motor skills. Dyspraxia (difficulty in movement and coordination) is commonly associated with autism. 10. Cardiovascular Conditions • Some research has suggested an increased risk of heart-related issues, particularly in those with severe autism or who also have other comorbid conditions. These could include heart arrhythmias or other cardiovascular issues, though more research is needed in this area. 11. Schizophrenia • The risk of developing schizophrenia later in life is higher in people with autism, especially during late adolescence or adulthood. However, this is a rare comorbidity, affecting only a small percentage of autistic individuals. 12. Sensory Processing Disorder • Many individuals with autism have sensory sensitivities, which can manifest as hyper- or hypo-reactivity to stimuli like sound, touch, light, or smell. Sensory processing issues can cause significant stress and discomfort in daily life. 13. Higher Risk of Injury • Individuals with autism may have a higher risk of injury due to behavioral challenges, wandering/elopement, or a lack of awareness of physical dangers. This is particularly a concern for children with autism. 14. Autoimmune Conditions • There is growing evidence to suggest a connection between autism and certain autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis, celiac disease, or multiple sclerosis. However, more research is needed to fully understand this relationship. Summary of Health Risks for Autistic Individuals: • Mental Health: Anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD • Neurological: Epilepsy, sleep disorders, motor coordination issues • Gastrointestinal: Constipation, diarrhea, IBS • Immune: Autoimmune conditions, allergies • Metabolic: Obesity, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction • Cardiovascular: Possible increased risk of heart issues • Other: Sensory processing disorders, injury risks, intellectual disability Overall, people with autism are at higher risk for a variety of physical and mental health conditions, and it’s crucial that they receive comprehensive, individualized healthcare to address these comorbidities effectively.

My pleasure!

The reason why I went to the ER is because I had been bleeding heavily due to hormone imbalance and Low D for 5 years and it finally made me Anemic. I wasn’t warned by an OBGYN I went to that this could happen, and in fact I was told the heavy bleeding was normal as you get older - this was NOT TRUE. That OBGYN is responsible for me developing very bad Anemia and missing years of my career as a result. I also had bad heart palpitations that are the result of iron and hormones going too low, and they erroneously told me I was about to have a heart attack. I was scared out of my mind and dropped everything to study health and try to get better. I ran to ER after ER with no insurance, convinced I was about to die, every time I had palpitations. They cost me thousands of dollars when the bills came due. I reorganized my whole life and was so angry when I found out that aaaalllll these doctors didn’t bother to tell me that it was my hormones, low D and low Iron. And when I did find out, nobody told me how to quickly bring the levels up, stop the bleeding and get back to work. I’ll never forgive these doctors and also other women who knew crucial things about what I was going through and did not share information.

Heavy bleeding in perimenopause is commonly handled with higher progesterone which limits the lining of the uterus. Vitamin D is always needed and is now, in large doses, a Covid treatment that limits replication of the virus. Covid is also causing excess bleeding in menopausal women using HRT. This is not well known. Even asymptomatic Covid can cause bleeding. Most Obgyn's are not Covid-informed. We have seen Covid evolve and change to be less virulent, but it is still causing problems for many women. Full Covid and Long Covid treatments are available at FLCCC. Experts are available at the Leading Edge Clinic - Dr. Kory. This is not a simple time for menopause. Early treatment is critical for avoiding long term damage and hospital bills. Women must be educated. ------------------------------------------------ Here are some costs from chatgpt. It may be much more expensive in your area. Hospitals will funnel you through expensive tests and push you into unnecessary visits with an expensive specialist. It might be better to use an independent doctor like Functional Medicine in the long run. Come to coaching to work out associated plans. [email protected] Not having health insurance as a menopausal woman can pose significant risks, both financially and health-wise. Menopause often brings various health issues that require ongoing medical attention. Without insurance, the costs of these necessary treatments and consultations can be substantial, potentially leading to delayed or avoided care, which may exacerbate health issues. Here’s a breakdown of the risks and the average costs associated with essential healthcare services for a menopausal woman: ### 1. **Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)** - **Risk:** Without insurance, a menopausal woman might forgo HRT, which can help alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and osteoporosis. - **Average Cost:** The cost of HRT can vary significantly depending on the type (pills, patches, creams), brand, and dosage. On average, it can range from $30 to $100 per month. Annually, this could cost between $360 and $1,200 without insurance. (Kitty: some women are lowering costs by getting HRT in Mexico or India) ### 2. **Emergency Room Visit** - **Risk:** In the event of a severe health issue, such as heart palpitations, severe anxiety, or other acute conditions, an emergency room visit might be necessary. - **Average Cost:** The average cost of an emergency room visit can range from $1,000 to $2,000 depending on the severity of the issue and the tests required. (Kitty: these will never check hormones.) ### 3. **Psychiatry Visit** - **Risk:** Menopause can lead to mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety. Psychiatric care may be necessary to manage these conditions. - **Average Cost:** The cost of seeing a psychiatrist can range from $100 to $300 per session. If medication is prescribed, this can add an additional $30 to $200 per month, depending on the type of medication. (Kitty: these will never check hormones) ### 4. **Psychology Visit** - **Risk:** Regular therapy sessions with a psychologist might be recommended to cope with emotional and psychological effects of menopause. - **Average Cost:** A visit to a psychologist typically costs between $75 and $200 per session. Long-term therapy could add up significantly over time. (Kitty: these will never check hormones and might involve extensive visits for CBT-i) ### 5. **Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob/Gyn) Visit** - **Risk:** Regular check-ups with an Ob/Gyn are essential during menopause for monitoring overall reproductive health and addressing concerns such as abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, or breast health. - **Average Cost:** An Ob/Gyn visit can cost between $150 and $400, depending on the complexity of the visit and any tests performed. (Kitty: a NAMS provider is trained in menopause, but still might wait to give HRT.) ### 6. **Visit to a Specialist** - **Risk:** Menopausal women may need to see specialists such as endocrinologists, cardiologists, or rheumatologists for conditions related to menopause (e.g., thyroid issues, cardiovascular risks, or osteoporosis). - **Average Cost:** The cost of a specialist visit typically ranges from $200 to $600, depending on the type of specialist and the nature of the consultation. (Kitty: this might be necessary if you feel this is related to Covid or vaccine. I still would not work with a hospital or conventional medicine if you think this is Covid related.) ### **Overall Financial Impact** Without health insurance, the cumulative costs of these necessary healthcare services can be overwhelming, potentially leading to skipped appointments or inadequate management of menopausal symptoms. This can increase the risk of severe health complications in the long run, making it critical to consider the financial and health-related implications of going without insurance during menopause. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Higher nutrition will always make you stronger. Special herbals might be needed. Light therapy might be needed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Covid is not a regular infection where your immune system "beats it" and it goes away. It can damage your immune system - which lets other infections move in. Your immune system ages and low hormones make it age faster. HRT is part of your plan to fight covid. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Analysis of our waste water shows that we are still rampant with Covid. You may not have symptoms, but it is still doing damage. Covid causes anxiety. We need to treat Covid to lower menopausal anxiety. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rate of medical bankruptcy in the United States is a topic of significant concern, although exact figures can vary depending on the study or source. However, some key points to consider: 1. **Prevalence of Medical Bankruptcy:** - Studies have suggested that medical issues contribute to a significant portion of bankruptcies in the U.S. Estimates indicate that medical bills and illness-related income loss are a major factor in around 60% of personal bankruptcies, though this figure can fluctuate based on different methodologies and definitions of "medical bankruptcy." 2. **Research Findings:** - A notable study published in the **American Journal of Public Health** in 2019 found that nearly 66.5% of all bankruptcies were tied to medical issues, either due to high costs of care or time out of work due to illness. 3. **Insurance and Bankruptcy:** - Even those with health insurance can experience financial distress due to high deductibles, co-pays, and out-of-pocket expenses, which can lead to bankruptcy. Unexpected medical emergencies or chronic conditions that require ongoing care can quickly escalate costs. 4. **Impact of Policy Changes:** - The rate of medical bankruptcy has been a subject of debate, especially in light of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which aimed to reduce the number of uninsured Americans. While the ACA helped reduce the overall rate of uninsured people, medical bankruptcy continues to be a significant issue. Overall, while the exact rate of medical bankruptcy varies by study, it is clear that medical debt remains one of the leading causes of financial distress and bankruptcy in the United States.

Just as a caution, extended bleeding can mean your estradiol product is not working or your progesterone is too low. However, it can also mean pathology. This is why we get back to the doctor. A Functional Medicine doctor, specializing in hormones, will cover all the nutrient-related issues. Regular doctors don't cover nutrients. Regular doctors won't identify metabolic issues early. Disordered eating is common at menopause. Enhanced nutrition is always required because we don't absorb nutrients from food.

People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may have an increased risk of several medical and psychological conditions, often referred to as “comorbidities” (conditions that occur alongside autism). The presence of these conditions can vary widely from person to person, and they can influence the individual’s overall health and quality of life. Here are some of the common comorbidities and associated increased risks: 1. Mental Health Disorders • Anxiety: People with autism are at a significantly higher risk of developing anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and phobias. Studies suggest that up to 40-50% of individuals with autism experience anxiety symptoms. • Depression: Rates of depression are higher in individuals with ASD, especially in adolescents and adults. It’s estimated that around 20-40% of autistic individuals may experience depression at some point. • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Many individuals with autism exhibit repetitive behaviors or obsessive interests, and some may also develop OCD. The overlap between OCD and ASD can make it difficult to differentiate between the two. • ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder): ADHD is common in those with ASD, with estimates showing that 30-50% of individuals with autism also have symptoms of ADHD. 2. Gastrointestinal (GI) Disorders • GI issues: People with ASD often experience gastrointestinal problems, including chronic constipation, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Studies suggest that 30-70% of individuals with autism have some form of GI disturbance. • Food sensitivities and allergies: Autistic individuals may have increased sensitivities to certain foods, which can contribute to GI issues or dietary imbalances. 3. Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders • There is a significantly higher prevalence of epilepsy in individuals with autism, with estimates ranging from 20-30%. Seizure disorders may develop at any age but are more common in childhood and adolescence, or even later in adulthood. • Sleep disturbances: Autism is often associated with disrupted sleep patterns, including difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early. 4. Immune System Dysregulation • Some studies suggest that people with autism may have abnormalities in immune function, leading to a higher susceptibility to autoimmune conditions such as allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disorders like type 1 diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. 5. Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders • Obesity: Autistic individuals may have a higher risk of obesity due to poor diet, limited physical activity, and medication side effects. • Diabetes: Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have been noted as more common in individuals with autism, although this may also relate to lifestyle factors, including diet and activity levels. • Thyroid disorders: Some research suggests a higher risk of thyroid dysfunction in individuals with ASD. 6. Intellectual Disability • A significant proportion of individuals with autism also have intellectual disabilities, although this varies based on the severity of the autism. Intellectual disability increases the risk of cognitive impairments and challenges with daily functioning. 7. Sleep Disorders • Many individuals with autism have difficulties with sleep, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and irregular sleep-wake patterns. Up to 50-80% of autistic children experience chronic sleep issues, which can exacerbate other behavioral and health challenges. 8. Eating Disorders • Feeding difficulties: People with autism often have sensory sensitivities that can affect eating habits, leading to food selectivity, picky eating, or texture aversions. This can result in nutritional deficiencies. • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID): Some individuals with autism develop ARFID, a type of eating disorder characterized by extreme picky eating or avoidance of foods. 9. Motor Coordination Issues • Individuals with ASD may experience problems with motor coordination, including fine and gross motor skills. Dyspraxia (difficulty in movement and coordination) is commonly associated with autism. 10. Cardiovascular Conditions • Some research has suggested an increased risk of heart-related issues, particularly in those with severe autism or who also have other comorbid conditions. These could include heart arrhythmias or other cardiovascular issues, though more research is needed in this area. 11. Schizophrenia • The risk of developing schizophrenia later in life is higher in people with autism, especially during late adolescence or adulthood. However, this is a rare comorbidity, affecting only a small percentage of autistic individuals. 12. Sensory Processing Disorder • Many individuals with autism have sensory sensitivities, which can manifest as hyper- or hypo-reactivity to stimuli like sound, touch, light, or smell. Sensory processing issues can cause significant stress and discomfort in daily life. 13. Higher Risk of Injury • Individuals with autism may have a higher risk of injury due to behavioral challenges, wandering/elopement, or a lack of awareness of physical dangers. This is particularly a concern for children with autism. 14. Autoimmune Conditions • There is growing evidence to suggest a connection between autism and certain autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis, celiac disease, or multiple sclerosis. However, more research is needed to fully understand this relationship. Summary of Health Risks for Autistic Individuals: • Mental Health: Anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD • Neurological: Epilepsy, sleep disorders, motor coordination issues • Gastrointestinal: Constipation, diarrhea, IBS • Immune: Autoimmune conditions, allergies • Metabolic: Obesity, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction • Cardiovascular: Possible increased risk of heart issues • Other: Sensory processing disorders, injury risks, intellectual disability Overall, people with autism are at higher risk for a variety of physical and mental health conditions, and it’s crucial that they receive comprehensive, individualized healthcare to address these comorbidities effectively.

Thank you so much! I feel fabulous! I hope you are well and strong. Take care, Kitty
