[@niamhbyrne4036]

Which hrt thanks

How long did it take to kick in ?

[@millymay0025]

This is life changing! I am mid 40’s and feel like retiring, after watching this, I’m going to make some changes and conquer the world instead! Thank you…..I think ; )

[@emmatrottsky117]

I’ve been told I have fibromyalgia and basically told to go away and get on with it. I’m absolutely positive that it’s actually the menopause.

[@atargeetparker2551]

Trinny, Thank you for an excellent interview/visit with Dr. Erika...however, you should talk less and let your guest talk - it's hard to listen when you keep talking at the same time and interrupt the her!

[@oonaghmontague8607]

Yes. I had to rewind a bit you spoke right over in your lovely enthusiasm, and I still missed it second time.

[@notMessing]

Agreed… l really appreciate the giving of info from Trinny and Doc which we desperately need but can’t hear the info of what the Doc is trying to say. Said with much appreciation though… blesses🙏

[@karendrake1742]

Thanks so much I had tears in my eyes listening to this in a good way I am 55 menopausal and my life has changed so much loss of confidence etc etc the validation is incredible 💕

[@liadixon2610]

Another symptom that is not well known is joint pain. HRT has helped immensely with managing my pain.

[@m00secat]

Trinny you are so lovely and thank you for bringing such an important topic to us! For the future, please do let your guest speak fully. You interrupt, speak over, and derail a lot. It was hard keeping up. But ultimately it was wonderful to watch this and I've learnt a lot! Just some feedback for the future x

[@Psychosoul139]

I felt the same frustration, so grateful for the content but to watch the speaker constantly interrupted and her sentences taken over by Trinny was incredibly frustrating.

[@maryconnor6173]

Dr Erika looks 20 years younger!! Thank you Trinny. Really helpful, if nothing else will cut sugar, do weight training and buy Dr E’s book. Chloe’s giggles behind the camera 🥰

[@theballeticyogi9294]

Thanks Trinny for bringing awareness to women’s health. I’m not near menopause but am suffering from terrible PMS and menstrual issues. It’s a part of women’s health that isn’t discussed, yet spans our whole lifetime. From puberty, to PCOS, to pregnancy, post pregnancy and menopause. I was shocked to also learn the last research done on PMS, which they still don’t know why it occurs in women, was in 1940. Yet 80% of women will experience some sort of menstrual health issue in their lifetime! There truly is an inequality with regards to women’s health (autoimmune diseases through to menstrual issues). A fabulous book to read is unwell women. It’s pretty eye opening! But thank you for talking about this. As a young woman how is having issues now and looking to heal, it’s also got me thinking about the future of my health and how I can support my body through the many phases, I hope she gets to go through! Keep raising awareness and banging the drum for better women’s health!

[@mmcs4973]

I was riveted! I've been menopausal for 20 years and have felt like crap since GP refused to continue prescribing hormones. I will be looking for an endocrinologist ASAP ! Thank you Trinny and Erica, kudos and kisses 💋

[@kristinaschlegel2680]

I want to thank you BOTH for changing my life. Because of earlier conversations & videos you’ve posted, I found a wonderful hormone doctor and began this fascinating journey. It’s almost 2 years for me and I am in awe of how much my body & mind have changed at the age of 57. It’s a process to find the right combination/levels, but it’s hugely worthwhile.

[@ering7664]

Hi Kristina, would you mind sharing the hormone doctor you found please? I wasn't happy with the doctor I was under.

[@kristinaschlegel2680]

@@ering7664 absolutely! I go to Dr. Alykym Zarzuela @ Hormone Wellness Center in Austin, TX. He works in San Antonio full-time, so my follow ups are with the nurse practitioner. I have my blood taken every 3 months and adjust my hormones, accordingly. I have estrogen and testosterone pellets inserted under my skin and take oral progesterone. we've had to tweak a few times to get things right.

[@ering7664]

@@kristinaschlegel2680 Thanks Kristina - that's a shame I'm in the UK :) Sounds like you have found a very good and thorough doctor there. So glad to hear you are feeling a lot better - it's a minefield isn't it. I'm really intolerant to progesterone -even my own so it's an uphill battle. Thanks for replying and I wish you good health x

[@kristinaschlegel2680]

@@ering7664 please let me know how i can support you! Where are you in the UK? I feel very fortunate, but it seriously takes being proactive. Even amongst my female friends and my husband, I am met with apathy or a desire to just believe in common "dysfunctions". ugh. My mother was the biggest advocate for hormone therapy, and I'm so grateful she encouraged me in that direction.

Another fantastic interview Trinny! Dr Erika Schwartz is very wise, thank you both for the awareness 🙏💖

[@ludmilamudrikova]

The best video i've seen in a long time, actually the best one talking about hormones and stuff...i've taught so many in 50mins...i'm pretty much amazed😘😘thank you both ladies

[@soniab9116]

Dr Erica is fantastic, thank you so much for this interview Trinny!

[@Claire-qp8ye]

Very interesting thank you. I started on HRT a month ago on the NHS. Can’t get testosterone on the NHS and I was told I could only be on HRT for five years! I can’t go down the private route so I’m hoping something will change within the NHS that allows me to have testosterone and be on HRT indefinitely!

[@violetta6280]

You can buy testosterone powder online.

[@CBEEBLE]

Ask to be referred to an NHS menopause clinic in your area. There is one at the Chelsea & Westminster hospital.

[@Claire-qp8ye]

@@CBEEBLE I will try but it took 6 months before my GP handed over a prescription. Thank you

[@CBEEBLE]

@@Claire-qp8ye You can get Testosterone on the NHS - my GP prescribes it. It takes a bit of effort but you have to push. I would go back to your GP and ask for a referral to a Menopause clinic. Do your research beforehand where your nearest NHS Menopause clinic is and go armed with the information. Explain to your GP your symptoms are persisting and you want to be seen by a specialist. It is your right for a referral to be made. If they refuse say you would like to raise it as a concern about your care through their formal complaints procedure (look up your GP’s complaint procedure or ask at reception for this) and NHS England’s Commissioning complaints procedure if necessary (search how do I feedback or make a complaint about an NHS service?). They then have to respond and say how they will act. Most GP’s don’t want a complaint on their record especially when they can avoid this by simply make a referral.

[@Claire-qp8ye]

@@CBEEBLE thank you so much that’s really helpful. I will do some research and take it from there. It’s like treading through treacle isn’t it! Bet men have no problem getting viagra!

[@nonny6990]

Thank you so much for this incredibly informative video Trinny. I feel I need better regulation of my hormones, particularly testosterone so I willI go back to my GP armed with this knowledge.

The other term is MHT (Menopause Hormonal Therapy), not MRT. This new term (MHT) is in lieu of HRT.

I want to look like Dr Erika Schwartz when I'm 71!! Thanks for this, got to get myself together and search for a Dr that supplies bioidentical ones, not the easiest thing in Sweden..🙏💕

[@ouniverse7824]

When I first heard about hrt from Trinny, I felt like I found a solution for my future menopause. I'm 41 now. But then I found out I have genetic thrombophilia which means I can't take hormones. Would be great to have Dr. Erica's advice about that. Thanks a lot!

[@Nettesvideo]

Great informative talk. Thank you so much. Very interesting.

Hi Trinny, Thank you! Grade content, very honest, helpful, informative. Kind regards from Germany Marion Winski

[@manyakoopal-gx4zs]

I am 64 and never took HRT and no doctor ever prescribed it either. I have no idea how to start now on my own. I doubt if my doctor in Canada would support the idea.

[@jennywillis8804]

Start a log if your symptoms and how long for and see about visiting a female doctor. It’s worth searching to see if a doc specialises in menopause

[@carikabornman6189]

Wwooow thank you so much 💓 such good info! Love 💘 it!

[@katyamcphail3668]

It was a very useful video, thank you, sometimes the sound wasn’t the greatest. Totally understand that the format is more of a chat and not an official interview. I am quite interested in Testosterone as an injection rather than in a gel form. I wonder if it would work out a bit cheaper as it’s quite expensive on prescription in the U.K.

[@constancemurphy6230]

could not hear

[@gloriasaliba3395]

Have I left my run too late at 63 to commence HRT for the first time?

Dr Eika, do you do virtual consultations?. I have share this video with my most precious friends.

[@ambreforbes1610]

I have sent multiple emails through Dr Erika website after watching your various fascinating videos with her and never got any answers back....Would be great to have some feedback...

[@sonnenkind8080]

Terrible interview ! Please can someone finally say to Trinny she should let her guests speak out and not interrupt constantly?

[@Psychosoul139]

So sad - I actually had to switch off and find Dr Erika content elsewhere, it was quite rude the way Trinny keeps interrupting and talking over her guest and this is such a valuable topic. Sometimes being in the energy of wanting to listen and not always on transmit allows the person with the information to actually get her information out. She doesn’t let her complete a thought flow, was so frustrating.

[@Psychosoul139]

I love you Trinny but its very frustrating to watch you interview someone with so much knowledge but then to continuously interrupt her - listen tensely and impatiently - constant interjection, she couldn’t finish her points. Such an incredible topic you are bringing to us and I value you immensely for that but I just tried to watch the latest with Erika and again just got so frustrated with how you don’t allow your speaker to complete sentences or her thoughts without interrupting her and talking over her.

[@kimthom5793]

The sound is very low on this video unfortunately, never had that with any of yr filming before! 🤔

[@edelconroy6047]

Ye both are the best advertisement for hormones, ye look and are amazing.

[@josephinemcnally8058]

I don't think the hormones make you look younger - it's how you will feel. Trinny is open about the botox etc she has. And Dr Erika looks like she probably has injections, although I can't verify that

[@user-ho5ht7mu4s]

Trinny, please stop interrupting the doctor, it is very difficult to listen!
