Best interview I have seen with Professor Davis. If only all women could be educated by her rather than social media.

What an incredibly knowledgeable guest professor Davis is. I like her no nonsense style. “I’m interested in finding the truth.”

Bioidentical progesterone has greatly improved my quality of life in perimenopause…sleep and anxiety vastly improved

[@jenniewilliams1668]

What a great conversation! I'm a truly old woman in the US - I just started HRT - going out on a limb at age 68. So far, so good, but it's been a VERY deep dive. I ALMOST went the compounded route simply because I had not yet found the alternatives. Now taking estradiol patch, oral micronized progesterone and estrogen cream for the vagina. I am using up my NuvaRing first....

This is confusing. My doctor ordered bloodwork to check my hormones. She said my estrogen and progesterone look great. My testosterone was so low, she said it barely registered (but should be between 15-70 ng/dL). She’s prescribing a 100 mg subcutaneous pellet to be slow-released over 12 weeks. Thoughts??

Thanks so much for an informative conversation about HRT. I am a 64 year old woman who has just started HRT and was very curious on if I should try and find a dr who will prescribe testosterone .
