Estrogen for your face: The BEST way to fight wrinkles and preserve healthy skin | Felice Gersh, MD

Progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone are amazing! I feel like I’ve got my zest for life back, no more anxiety, no more hot flashes, no more sleep issues.

Ladies here's a very helpful tip.. Drink Beef bone broth (organic/no sugar type). I add Beef Gelitin Powder + butter. Here is what I dring DAILY. 3 servings of Beef broth 8 ounces each Each Serving has 2 scoops or + 1 tbs of butter per serving... lightly warmed up. I also do a Beef Broth Fast occationally (Once every couple of weeks) with the same recipe, but then I consume about 8 to 9 servings through out the day. Jam packed with nutrients and natural collegen. I do suppliment every day with Multi spectrum collegen powder: It has types I, II, III, IV & V...

I'm 79 and I was using hormone replacement for quite a while until there was a scare about it possibly causing heart attacks. Do you not remember that? At that point I stopped taking them and I wish I had not. Then I began to use topical but they were extremely expensive for me. Can you please address this? Younger women did not experience this and many women who did are no longer with us. I am pretty strong and healthy and do not need any pharmaceutical medicines. I treat myself, usually, with herbal remedies if I get sick (which is rare) I have recently begun to use topical hormones again as they are no longer so costly. Curious what you think. I am healthy and active and do not have to take any pharmeceutical drugs so far.

[@nataliakp8237]

I don't understand why doctors say that estrogens cause heart attacks. As long as you have estrogens, you're not at risk of a heart attack, but when you go through menopause, you're at risk, so you should take these estrogens, not refuse them... I don't understand this

One place quoted $800🧐 I hung up! 1st bloodwork labs $150 Post pellet labs $75 6wks later to check levels or make adjustments. Overall, aprx $2000 year is a small investment in good health and great skin. Try the many clinics that offer the weight loss shots (semiglutide) Spas and PSurgery centers offer BHRT.

I went through the hot flashes, nightsweats, (in Texaa) all by my lonesome, but my skin...when I see young people on youtube saying they're 45, etc, I think to myself, "I looked good at that age too", but woke up a few years ago and said, what in the world happened.

[@JillKnapp]

Paraben is a preservative. You would not want to put a cream in your vagina (or anyplace else) that allowed the growth of mold and bacteria or turned rancid -- the paraben prevents this spoilage. Preservatives, in the tiny tiny amount used in products, is not remotely dangerous... but "clean beauty" influencers will try to convince everyone that it's poisonous. Clean beauty just means the product will spoil faster, which means you will have to buy it more often... which means more money in the pockets of the people shilling "clean beauty." Remember that "the dose makes the poison." Drinking too much water can kill you, too.

[@fortheloveofcountry]

Most doctors (even primary care) prescribe generic bio-identical Estradiol cream like it’s an antibiotic, (or choose any over-prescribed Rx). In other words tell your doc you are complaining of either itching-say due to dryness, or painful sex, or you’re starting to have urinary incontinence, ie, when sneezing. I did originally have an issue with a few of the above and I still request it for the same thing. Doc doesn’t know I’m am now using it on my face.

Depends on the strength of your patch (among other things). Most doctors will just give you enough to relieve symptoms. I’ve learned to interview my providers to see where they stand, whether they are in the dark ages and following the dictates of the WHI study, if they even know about it. I ended up paying out of pocket to see Dr. Gersh’s PA. I don’t have time to waste trying to educate the doctors and NPs in my insurance network.

@@j.j.l.I started on .25 estridol transdermal with MIDI health prescribing. I have an integrated health doc who is prescribing .5, now. She indicates .5 as optimal dose for women. I had zero estrogen prior to starting HRT and am concerned .5 won’t be enough since it has reduced but not eliminated symptoms. Are you willing to share your estridol dosage? Do you also take progesterone and what dosage? Does Dr Gersh’s PA meet virtually? I’m interested in having someone who treats me as an individual vs a study of other women. Thank you!
