Discussing Bioidentical Hormones with Suzanne Somers

[@pmelaglover9913]

Suzanne wanted to live to be 110 years of age!! Bless her. I know she is happy and Heaven is rejoicing to get such a sweet beautiful Angel!! Love you always Suzanne. 💗💝💓🙏

[@johnwilson681]

Her cancer probably came back because of the estrogen she took. All types of estrogen cause cancer.

[@tiffhamill567]

Yes.. top of western Med community & Big Pharma likely did not like her.

[@carilynjurgeson6178]

I just started taking my Bio hormones and noticed big improvement in only 2 days. I have not had energy for years and today I felt like I could do anything.

[@suzter]

Just be AWARE there are long term effects to consider. DO YOUR HOMEWORK and VET your practitioner to ensure they are professionals amd not just “hearsay” wellness people. Very different long term outcomes.

[@believegirl5646]

I’m 48 years old, and I’ve been taking BIOTE hormone replacement therapy for 4 months, just got my 2nd hormone pallet. It’s increased my libido tremendously, my blood pressure is normal again, I’ve lost some weight, my skin has improved, I love how its helped my relationship when I thought it was over, I had no interest. After my 2nd month on this HRT I have a drive for life again, I just can’t explain how amazing I feel. I thank my amazing gynecologist for recommending this to me as I was already hitting menopause. Thank you for this podcast, I agree with everything Suzanne somers said about it. Life changing 🙏🏼

[@kathyhandler5254]

i just got the biote pellets last week. so far i’m not feeling anything except the progesterone pills are helping me sleep better. may i ask how much you’re paying? i think i am being over charged. $2750 for 6 months.

[@deborahc7113]

what is your thought on T injs only post menopause, no est no prog. ??

[@suzter]

Get back to us around year 4, please!! I’ll put some money down it’s a different story by then.

[@johnwilson681]

All types of estrogen cause cancer, quit taking the estrogen. Natural progesterone is anti-cancer. Natural progesterone is good to take. All of the estrogens cause cancer. No one should ever take estrogen. As you may know, her cancer came back and killed her. It was probably the estrogen that caused it.

I started at 66 years of age and it's been over a year. It takes time also to "wake up" the receptors. It is difficult to find a good doctor, also. I'm on my third. It is true, you MUST educate yourself. You will not know you are wasting lots of money and time with someone unless you understand what is going on. I've had to read half a dozen books, email doctors, youtube videos, medical studies to try and get good info. It is not easy, but it is worth it. I am back at the gym for the first time in decades.

What a wonderful interview. Maybe you guys could examine what caused her death... the falls, cancer etc. Thank you for this. Bhrt saved my life.

[@peacequeen2579]

That fall in my opinion weakened her system just enough to open the door for the cancer to return. When your body is in that much pain everything in the body is used to heal the injury. There's the explanation and it makes me so sad.

[@chell5010]

In an interview with Dr atira in another podcast I remember he said if you ever get in a fall and you are over 65 years old and you require surgery you are going to die within a year.

I don’t agree that life is intolerable with out hrt. I’m happy most of the time. But the bone loss and cardiovascular stuff is what I’m worried about now. Doc wants to put me on fosamax. Causes brittle bones. What do I do ?? I don’t need a hip fracture or any fracture. Also I need to look at my LDL again. Great information overall and Suzanne you did a great job breaking it down to cellular levels, but not losing the listener. Very nice to have it broken down like you did in the utube.

would love some help! I did my first couple doses of topical estradiol and had an awful reaction of depression, racing thoughts and anxiety and my body felt so cold I gotta preface I went to a highly recommended doc who ran blood panels and said she hadn’t heard anyone have that reaction before so recommended I do half a dose, I’m scare to ever feel the way I did and want to give up but keep hearing how life changing it is especially because I have been struggling with sleep depression and panic attacks, I plan on starting again with half a dose only once a day, has any one had this kind of reaction? and does it get better😣

It must be bioidentical and taken with progesterone also bioidentical. Ask your doctor about this

[@lr8504]

@@susanbardfeld4147 thank you It was bioidentical and I didn’t do it long enough for the progesterone dose that I was also given, 7 months later I finally got some answers at being Hashimotos and not having to do so much with the reproductive hormones. Endocrinologist and new primary care Dr also confirmed my hormones are ok. Unfortunately this hormones specialist was private and I’m now convinced she was more looking for her cash payment than really me needing to hormone replacement at this time :(

[@honestbajan6877]

What's the update?

[@ayliea3974]

I'd love to take BIH but I'm a recent survivor of hormone driven breast cancer, stage 1b. After surgery, radiation and a catastrophic dose of chemo therapy I was put on Armimadex. It caused frightening cardiovascular symptoms. I'm also a survivor of a cardiac spasm heart attack that put me into cardiac arrest so my cardiovascular system is still very reactive. I was put on a second aromatase inhibitor that produced the same threatening cardiovascular symptoms. So now I will start taking Tamaxafin next week. The hope is that it doesn't cause the cardiovascular symptoms that the aromatase inhibitor did. That's my background. Can I take bioidentical hormones?

[@suzter]

Good lord. Please don’t ask KZbin something so serious!! Look up a solid medical practitioner who is OPEN to bHRT and let them take in your history and give you an honest and factual recommendation. Your life is worth it!

[@ayliea3974]

@suzter Thank you for this common sense. I agree. But in this video, the author seems to be recommending estrogen as a panacea. If so, can I use it? I can listen to information and advice and take it or not take it. It's called thinking.

[@jacquelynbratlandbrat1048]

Start googling Hormone Replacement Therapy near you. Only go to someone who knows what they are doing. Blood work first, start slow, BIO IDENTICAL HORMONES are the key words. I started 2 months ago and holy cow…has made a difference. I didn’t know I had such problems until I started to see a difference. I go in once a week and get a shot, they are starting slow and checking blood every 6 weeks. They will eventually go to pellets. Do not allow anything in mouth or a patch, walk away if they say that it’s a pill or patch.

[@karintatum7424]

@@jacquelynbratlandbrat1048 the patch is completely fine along with the gels it's all transdermal which is far better than pill form ...

[@brbrkadir]

@Karin -patch is transdermal (through the skin) formulation of the HRT. It can be one or more hormones depending on the formulation you use. @Jacquelin What state are you in? We are making the designer (individually formulated) HRT in all kinds of form: from troche (kind of like hard candy) to creams, suppositories and so on. Question on what consider the Bio Identical is a bit wider. Do you mean structurally similar to the hormones that the body produce or do you mean pharmacological profile (time life in blood, max concentration etc) similar to the naturally occurring? It's not necessary the same thing, nor every woman wants to go through the menstrual periods again. I second you that transdermal (especially micronized progesterone and estrogens) has better safety profile that pills.

As far as I know it’s blood work

Each method has it's own pluses and minuses. The blood work is the only one covered by insurances. Saliva is at least as accurate and you usually can order whatever you want yourself (ZRT labs), but you have to pay yourself. ~$40 one test and then about $15 for each additional.

I am also visiting this video for the same reason. My late husband was Alan’s cousin and I remember going to Suzannes sons wedding many years ago. The three cousins of Alan were all doctors, I am making this point because the younger brother a GP suggested many years ago that instead of going on HRT I go on Evista. Please look it up. I took his advice and at the time I was diagnosed with osteo pina and was being carefully watched. The best advice ever, as a result my bones are solid and I was protected from breast cancer.. I am one year older than Suzanne and I flew for a Canadian Airline for over 35 years. Two years ago I broke my ankle because of my inappropriate boots, and when healed I was given a bone scan and my doctor said I had better bones than him and he is in his forties. Now looking Evista up it states it also helps with bone loss. I have no aches or pains and my hair is thick and my skin is the same. Being on my mother side of Italian descent (Florence), I have lived on a Mediterranean diet all my life. Since I live on Vancouver Island I eat a lot of Salmon to. I am only writing this to share my experience. Suzanne Somers was a lovely person in all aspects. I know two women in their eighties still on HRT, although warned they have no problems. Thank you for your time. Rest in Peace Suzzane
