Top 5 Supplements I recommend for women's health

[@tgal1163]

I just popped up on my feed and I just went to see my PA about getting on the HRT patch. I’m having horrible hot flashes and night sweats, all the symptoms of menopause. She did say I would have to quit smoking, and I said give me the hormones, I’ll quit! I would rather quit than deal with these symptoms! It gives me a good reason to quit! I am loving all the information about nutrition and women’s health. Thank you so much for offering your opinion and advice! I’ll be ordering your book as well.

[@noellromatowski8387]

Hi! What’s your thoughts on pregnenolone supplements or cream? I’ve heard a lot of mixed opinions on take it as helps balance out hormones among other benefits. Thoughts? Thank you!!!

I had an A1C of 6. After eating coffee candies everyday for a couple of months and a couple of weeks of not eating them, my A1C is 5.1. How did I do it? Well first I tried Berberine for a couple of days, but I had to stop 🛑 it because it caused severe gastrointestinal problems. So then I started taking Life Seasons supplement called Glucose Stabili-T. I took 3 every morning. Then before dinner I took Life Extensions’ supplement called Tri Sugar Shield. After only taking both of those products for a month my A1C went from 6.0 to 5.1. Was it the combination of the two, or was it just one of them that made the difference? I don’t know, but whether it was one of them or both, THE RESULTS ARE AMAZING!!! 😃Nobody needs to be taking dangerous drugs for high blood sugar when these supplements are so effective and healthful. 😉

You have to realize that some supplements work the same and have similar side effect

I’m low on vit D, no gallbladder and taking D supplements make my hot flashes much worse! What’s up with that??

[@daisymae749]

I never burped up fish oil, but I know people who do. I recently heard that burping up fish oil if you are using a good brand is because you have a sluggish gallbladder. So addressing that helps the problem.

[@ShawnTassoneMDPhD]

No it’s normal

[@dianacarter_art]

I've had my gallbladder removed and I still burp up fish oil lol ❤

[@mariabyrne1954]

That's why Ur burping it​@@dianacarter_art

Fish oils make my dyslexia worse. 😢 Is that due to metal in the oils,??

Thank you for the dihyroberberine recommendation. I'd got some berberine and had not noticed that it came with 30mg. Zn gluconate. Yikes! So, I was taking it to lower my LDL; meanwhile, the 30mg Zn was lowering my HDL. I will order dihydroberberine from Endura. Thank you! And if you're amenable, I have a question about the Mirena. I got my 1st in 2012, I'm now on my 3rd. I had no problems with it whatsoever. The insertion was not painful (I cramped, as I expected, for 4h), the removal made me momentarily light-headed. But the 2nd one was oh-so-difficult to remove because it had become embedded. My gyn asked if I wanted the replacement put in right away. I declined because I didn't want it to become embedded in the same spot where the other had been. This is probably illogical. Is this 3rd one also more likely to become embedded given that the 2nd had been? I'm learning a lot and I thank you for your efforts.

Thank you for this information Doctor. Curious, do any of these interact negatively with Antidepressants?? Thank you for your help.

I thought vitamins D and K (being fat soluble vitamins) compete for absorption in the digestive tract and are best taken at least three hours apart.

[@sweetpeace5]

I take mine in a combined supplement

[@marciahess8262]

Me too, together in supplement.

[@daisymae749]

Or if this wording is better for you, what is considered high dose fish oil? Thanks

[@shelleykapp9637]

He said 1 to 2 grams.

[@daisymae749]
