Dr Marie Claire is definitely a hero to all of us women including us that didn’t get this information until the last year. I have to also thank her husband for telling her she was smart & would figure this out for herself & she did🙏🙏🙏

OMG, this was fabulous and I hope you do this again real soon Katie with Dr. Mary Claire. I am 57 years old and this was such an educational eye-opener!!! My mind is truly blown! we need so much more education on menopause and what it does to a woman’s body. I’m shocked to even hear that women weren’t even included in clinical trials. What the heck!

Mary Claire is my hero!! The community she has built is so important to all women!! Thank you Katie for adding her to your community. I felt like ending my life during menopause. I first thought it was the isolation from Covid but I just got worse as Covid restrictions subsided. I gained 30 lbs in a few months, could barely walk because my joints hurt so bad. I had no desire to do anything! I had recurrent UTIs, hot flashes memory loss and episodes of anger for no reason. I didn’t recognize myself. Mary Claire helped me realize I wasn’t crazy or alone. I found an amazing physician and nurse practitioner who changed my life. I am on HRT and changed my diet to the Galveston diet. I lost 34 lbs so far ( my husband lost 20) and most of my symptoms have resolved. I feel much younger and no longer have those episodes of depression/anger. I have also educated my husband ( who is an oncologist ) to discuss symptoms with his patients and educate himself. He has started sending patients to my physician. We as women need to advocate for each other to get every woman access to menopause care. I am shocked how many women are suffering in silence when I talk about my experience because they think they have no options. Thanks to both of you for bringing menopause to the forefront 😘❤️

Thank you for educating your oncologist husband. Doctors are not educated about menopause in med school so most oncologists will induce instantaneous menopause when they give chemotherapy. They have NO clue how severe the symptoms can be , it is much worse than a natural slower menopause.

What about all us women past 65 that never took HRT and could benefit from HRT even now? Wouldn't just a little help us with mood, sleep, energy? The medical community has forgotten us again. We are living longer now are we just suppose to shrivel up and slowly die with no quality of life for the next 20 years........ Very sad.

I had to hunt down an OBGYN who knew more than I did about HRT. When she was able to quote risk factors and such off the top of her head I was so happy to have finally found a knowledgeable doctor. Just curious though. She reduced my estradiol patch from 1.0 to 0.7 due to break through bleeding. She also upped my progesterone for a few weeks. The bleeding stopped but I sometimes still don’t feel super great. I am wondering how do you decide what percentage dose is right. I tried asking my doctor about it but I don’t think I really communicated well because I am still confused. I am wondering if I would feel much more like myself again on the higher dose. I feel loads better than i did before taking any HRT but still not the former me. Is the me i used to know basically gone and this is the new “managed” me?

The doctor talked SO fast, I didn't catch most of what she said, and Katie interrupted her numerous times to where they were talking over each other so you couldn't hear what either one of them were saying. Katie, I think you should redo this video and correct those two items. Just my thoughts. But when you do have the doctor back next time, please ask her to slow down on her talking and please don't interrupt her so that only one of you are talking at a time. Thanks!

I was on an estradiol patch after hysterectomy. It was synthetic I had bad anxiety, hair started falling out very bad went back to doctor she lower the dose to lowest available. I still had anxiety and hair falling out insomnia. I asked for a compounded hormones which she prescribed. After starting compounded hormones anxiety hair falling out insomnia gone. I don't sleep well all the time but everything else gone. So what's your take on this? I'm 53 and had a total hysterectomy over a year ago.

I have to speak against hormone therapy, just pay attention if/when you start it. My mental health (which I never had an issue with) became a problem. I would break down crying then felt rage at things I would never have in the past. It was AWFUL!! worse than menopause and all of its symptoms. I don't think its right for every women and I feel like now Doctors are going the other way trying to convince women that you have to in order to live a long healty life.

@lindajones4849 4 ай бұрын

Hi- doctors do tend assume that allwomen are the same so you need to watch them. There are other tissues that can produce some estrogen after the ovaries shut down ( like the adrenal glands). Ok course i am speculating but you may be one of the minority of women who do well after menopause without hormones, your symptoms suggest that whatever hormones they gave you were for you an overdose.

@jessicahitchens6926 2 ай бұрын

That was me before Homepathy but I'm still affected at times. I never was the BHRT/HRT. Its all how you use it in my opinion and the supplements you are on as well and diet. The awful birth control pills are worse with the Progestins not Progesterone.

I have a real problem with the entire narrative around HRT being breast cancer, which affects 1 in 7 and has really good treatment options, whereas osteoporosis affects 1 in 2, with high morbidity and mortality. I think this has to do with the objectification of women and how the treatment for breast cancer potentially impacts the male gaze, whereas the pain of osteoporosis is borne silently. Also why can't we get bazedoxifene alone? This is a despicable and cynical tactic to get rid of all the equine estrogen nobody now wants, and I can't wait for it to go off patent.

With all due respect, I find it hard to believe that Katie Couric is truly unaware of the things she claims to be ignorant of. It's fine to ask questions, but given her profession and life experiences, she has likely had access to the best medical and health advice. It's okay to ask the questions, Katie, even if you already know the answers. You don’t need to pretend to be uninformed. We've had enough of the "ignorant female" stereotype; it's time to move past it.

"Living well' doesn't have to be all about perfect health, beauty, or wealth. Living well to many women is living with gratitude for what one has done, what one has now, and the blessings one will continue to have. Menopause is not a "mystery." It's another stage of life. Smart women avoid HRT.

I’m a smart woman and I’m doing better on HRT - better sleep, better energy, less joint pain, protecting my bones and less brain fog. For this and many things in my life, I am very grateful. I’d never tell anyone to take HRT, but for some people, it’s life-changing. It’s an individual decision. Do research and talk to your doctor.

@lindajones4849 4 ай бұрын

Menopause is a grossly under researched area as are most women's health issues. If you had minimal or no symptoms in menopause consider yourself lucky . The majority of women ha e symptoms and most get no help from their doctors. Look at the research of Dr. Lisa Mosconi - she has shown with PET scans of the brain that the average women has a 40 percent cent drop in ATP production during perimenopause. Some women are worse, some much better.
