0:00 Intro
2:24 Why should women in perimenopause/menopause consider taking HRT?
3:47 Why are so many doctors so ill informed about HRT, why so much confusion, fear, uncertainty, and doubt around the topic of HRT?
7:32 What are the different options for HRT for women who live in the United States?
13:36 How are HRT estrogen and progesterone made?
14:04 Should a person use HRT if they have zero menopause issues?
15:20 Did a study came out recently about the correlation between night sweats and severe night sweats and heart attack?
18:43 I’ve heard that doctors should never give oral estrogen because it increases the risk of clots, Is that true?
20:06 Is it essential for all women who supplement with estrogen to also take progesterone?
20:28 If someone is in menopause, officially ie no cycle for over a year, is it safe to take progesterone alone without taking estradiol for its benefits such as sleep, etc?
21:30 Why would I need to take vaginal estrogen on top of regular HRT
22:27 Why is it that if you're using a facial cream with estradiol in it that that is not systemic, but you can use transdermal gel or whatever and it IS systematic?. What's the difference?
23:47 Can HRT reverse existing hair decline or just slow new decline?
25:34 What's the cause of waking between 2 and 4am nightly?
27:14 What is the importance go Magnesium?
28:51 What are the benefits and side effects of adding testosterone?
32:35 Birth control, pregnancy and HRT. Is it okay to take a low form of birth control? So that estrogen doesn't deplete?
33:13 Why do women gain belly fat during menopause?
34:20 This is a question on HRT dosing and duration. I've seen studies that have shown that HRT has the most benefits for about 10 years from the start of menopause. Is that true?
35:15 I know that there's a lot of people watching that are 10 years post menopause. Is there anything that they can do?
36:02 If I'm 42 and don't have any symptoms but want to prevent symptoms, what would you recommend?
37:38 What is the best moment to start or even to start thinking about HRT?
38:54 Here's a question about testing for menopause and symptoms of menopause. I think that this is important to address... is that you don't have to test for menopause.
40:35 Heart disease. What's the connection between heart disease and menopause?
41:51 What is the link between osteoporosis and menopause?
43:20 Are there any side effects of HRT?

I am 68. I begged, begged and begged for HRT. I wasn't sleeping, and I went bald. I was refused repeatedly because "it won't help much and the risks are too high." I took in print-outs of the actual research - which I am positive ended up in the trash. So, yeah. It's really upsetting to find out that, at 68 and 15 years post-menopause, I'll never be able to recapture the protective effects of the therapy I was denied. Definitely getting your book, Dr. Haver, so I can figure out what to do about it now!
I feel your pain sister! That almost happened to me. But luckily I was able to finally find someone to listen. I even went to a so-called "menapause specialist" who promptly took me off the estrogen my previous doctor had given me. So I was without estrogen for a couple of years until I felt so miserable that I literally broke down in front of my obgyn, who agreed to put me back on estrogen. Now, with an appointment coming up tomorrow, I am afraid she is going to try and take me off them. I'm going to be 63.
@@debgilbert3206 Just because it's "Natural" doesn't make it healthy! This is a real bigotry problem. If you are low in testosterone, they supplement with testosterone. If you are low in thyroid, doctors give you thyroid. But if you're low in female hormones, suddenly the risks are too high!? It's outrageous, Deb. I'll keep you in my prayers.
@lindacgrace2973 thank you 🙏
I’ll be thinking of you Deb!!
Same thing happened to me. I was offered valium before estrogen! Finally I got referred to one of the top Drs in Australia (professor Eden) who treats women (even those with cancer) who are on HRT. He said he wants to sue the authors of the 2002 study that said HRT was too dangerous for women. He said it was a very badly designed study and it is STILL impacting women negatively. But general physicians still abide by it.
Only half way through video but don’t want to forgot to comment on some things for clarification. First, she’s doing a pretty good job of explaining things overall 👏🏻
I’ve been treating Menlo and perimeno women for over 25 yrs so she has more time to fine tune and learn.
1. Progesterone and progestin are NOT the same thing. Progesterone is what the body makes and is needed for fertility. Progestin tricks the brain into thinking you are pregnancy so you don’t ovulate.
3. Oral contraceptives with progestin prevent pregnancy. Progesterone helps pregnancy.
4. Oral contraceptives reduce ovarian cancer because it stops ovulation and activity of ovaries
5. Compounding pharmacies are NOT unregulated. They must follow compounding regulations. The reason why conventional docs are still poo pooing compounding pharmacies is indoctrination. When WHI study came out and MDs pulled all their HRT, Wyeth (makers of Premarin and prempro) lost an enormous amount of $$$$. Since then BigPharma has been in a mission to crush compounding pharmacies in a variety of ways WITH the help of the FDA (FDA is funded >45% from big Pharma as high as 75%)
6 related to above: as MDs stopped hormones, women turned to compounding pharmacies for their bio identical
Hormones.
7 Progestin was what increased cancer risk the MOST in the WHI study not progesterone.
8 outside of US, estriol is frequently used. It is an estrogen that does not have metabolites that can turn into more carcinogenic estrogens in individuals with predisposition to metabolize estrogens with more difficulty. Estriol also has studies on bone density, brain health including impact on patients with MS (multiple sclerosis)
9 You will likely not hear about estriol on US because it can NOT be patented. No bio identical molecule can be patented or “approved by the FDA”. Estradiol is bio identical BUT the delivery system of a patch is patented and so FDA can approve it. Don’t be mislead by BigPharma on something being safe or unsafe because of the FDA. Most consumers do not know the nuances I briefly mentioned above.
Lastly, because I can’t put 25 yrs into a post, estriol vaginal cream is excellent at promoting vulvar health (climax, elasticity, moisture) and does not bind strongly to breast tissue like estradiol does. (FYI Im not against estradiol and do use it. There is just a lot more to hormone therapy.)
Again, she has done a great job in this video educating women about hormones 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And excuse all of the typos!
This is unbelievable. Dr Haver is a miracle worker. Can’t thank her enough. I’m lucky that nearly everything she said , my female doctor told me. Only a month ago. I’ve just started HRT at 55. The sad thing is my previous female doctor who retired 4 months ago told me NOTHING about HRT. Even when I questioned her. Just really proves, not all doctors can help you with female issues.
Sometimes you need to do your own research. And women need to talk to each more about menopause. It shouldn’t be a taboo subject anymore.
Thank you so much.
Dr. Haver, thank you! I’m 77 and could have used this info some years ago. You’re doing beautiful work to help women.
Dr. Haver is a total rock star!! Thank you for all the hard work you are doing on behalf of us menopausal gals❤
I had a collapsed vertebrae at the age of 40. Went to a neurosurgeon and he told me I have the bones of a 60 year old. No one spoke to me about the connection with menopause. Now at 45 I realised I am perimenopausal, and only now finding out about the correlation. All drs need to know this. That neurosurgeon should have told me to get my obgyn to put me on hrt.
I’ve heard of women this young having osteopenia. Some get it from Depo-Provera. 💔❤️🩹❤️
I am 36 years old and this information is INCREDIBLE!!! I want to be informed as I get closer to this transition. I’m going to share this with ALLL my friends!!!
I am a 62 year old breast cancer survivor (at 34, cancer free since 1997). This information has brought me to tears. I always thought HRT was not possible. I am going to make an appointment immediately to discuss all this info with my doctor. I have everything you have mentioned and it has been going on nearly 20 years!
26 years cancer-free is amazing! ❤️
If you have any bladder or vag symptoms, know that you can use RX vaginal estrogen. It’s important in the long-term prevention of chronic UTIs. There are many women in nursing homes because of damage to their brain done by chronic UTIs. It’s called delirium. Delirium is like a ‘brain fever’ that happens during severe infection and sepsis. This happened to my mom.
I feel so blessed with all this information ( that’s come my way in the last 5 years) from all these phenomenal, female doctors on UA-cam and their insight has made me a happy, healthy and vibrant 50 something woman. I lift weights ( resistance training) eat a great diet (free of overly processed foods ) and I’m on bio identical hormones! Life can be sooooooo great in your second half!❤
I wish I would have seen this video much sooner as I only started HRT a month ago and I’m 61. This is the best video ever! ❤
I have been on HRT (Pill Form) Estrogen and Progesterone for 14 years. I started as soon as my period ended. I feel great being on it. I'm now 63, and my skin looks like I'm 45. It does make a difference in how you feel AND how you look. The best way to find out what your body needs is to have your hormones checked through bloodwork. Then your doctor will know the exact dosage to give you.
So were yr hormones off right when u quit yr period? According to my bloodwork, progesterone low and estrogen high🤷🏼♀️
@@tracyC7414 I'm sure they were off, because the hot flashes were very bad at that point.
@@tracyC7414 High estrogen in relation to progesterone is called 'estrogen dominance'. This is very common in perimenopause.
Not really ,I had two hormonal tests, and one shows I'm postmenopausal the other that I'm perfect ! Depends on the cycle we are in
Not close to menopause, but I’m really loving this discussion. Feels like women are just supposed to be quiet and endure the difficult effects of menopause on their own once they’re no longer in their childbearing years. Hard not to feel that this lack of education and research is misogynistic.
I completely agree.
I am in HRT for 2 years now, my quality of life is GREAT AND BETTER in everyway !!! Thank you Penn and thank you Dr Haver
Hi Georgina! How did you do as far as weight gain or with your HRT? Did you have to get any HRT adjustments before it finally worked for you? Thanks!
@@ms.t8313 it took me 1 year to get balanced until then I lost 10 pounds, for example my estradiol is 200 and progesterone 20 , progesterone has to be 10% of your estradiol to be balanced , it takes a lot of patience and of course I am eating healthy and working out 3 or 5 days a week . But before being balance I was eating healthy and working out and was not able to lose any pound .
Such an important topic! I am so glad we are finally talking about this phase of life women experience for 3 or 4 decades! I was so lost and confused when I first entered peri-menopause and then menopause. Thank you for this conversation. 💕💜
So Truly THANKFUL to you two amazing ladies!!
OMG Penny thank you, so much, I am in tears, literally. My mom is a breast cancer survivor too. Yes we have a huge gap in the medical literature on menopause and in training in addressing this part of women's health. The politics in this and the way we perceive women in society is such a factor in all of this. This presentation and just down to earth talk is just going to be so far reaching for so many women. Expecially to all of us in this amazing group as we support eachother in our journey in our health and well being!!! Thank you!! Love you Penny!!!!!
I am going through treatment right now for breast cancer and it's kicked me into menopause but I am 42
"We gaslight Ourselves" So true.. Dr. Haver is right! Seems like so many "Specialists" have been too. Thank you for bringing this massively important subject and fabulous Dr. Haver to your viewers Wonderful Penny!!! Now, I need to get to her : ) Interesting. at age 57, I thought I was seeing an "expert", and now I have to wonder. Just the Pat on the back with a "Ahhh you're alright" after I complain about all of the issues associated with Menopause, throws some vaginal cream at me and that's it. I've actually been pretty good at researching so many subjects about health over the years. Yet, here I am.. at a loss. I've asked about my endometrial ablation she did years ago as well, and if this affects me.. "Ohhhh you're alright" with a pat on the back. The Sahara desert has come to visit now as well. I need to move on.
I am 50 years old, always into sport, slim, healthy and peri menopause hitted me so badly , i felt i lost myself , my life and almost my mind . I am about to consult my doctor about ways to handle it . Thank you for making this video.
Get Dr. Christiane Northrup's book! She addresses the emotional part of perimenopause as well as menopause.
Same here. I'm 48, and since October, I started going rapidly down the hill .My lower back pain is horrible ,my muscles like I'm all stiff 😫 mentally. I'm all over the place is so hard 😢
I started the patch and progesterone and within about a month I had mild bleeding. I freaked out and stopped and I was put through the most painful procedure I have ever had in my life - that biopsy! The whole experience felt punitive for some reason. I felt really alone. Thanks for the clarification for others so they are not rushed to biopsy.
This was amazing! Thank you so much. I’ve been on bio-identical HRT for a year now and it has made a world of difference. Went into menopause at 43. I was one of those that was misinformed regarding HRT and was very hesitant to try it. I wasted 5 years and most of my 40’s suffering through all the symptoms of menopause, till the depression portion just drove me to try HRT. I love it and I got to do my 40’s in my 50’s because of it. Lol. Don’t suffer through menopause. 💖
I have learned so much and can listen to her over and over. . My menopause hero . She is so authentic.I believe in her.
What a PROFOUNDLY important discussion this was. Your gratitude at the end toward the Dr was so sincere and I want to give those exact same deeply appreciative words to you, Penny. This takes your service to your audience to an entirely different level. Your “normal” videos…informative, lighthearted and fun as they are, serve a real purpose for us, but these are life-changing, life-affirming and most importantly, life-SAVING conversations that no one (or few) is having. So THANK YOU, Penny for caring about your own health and wellness as well as ours, and shining a light on such a shadow-ridden topic. Sending love and HEALTH! ❤️

Thank you for taking the time to say this, you made my day!
I am 61 now and had a hysterectomy in 2016. I can't tell you how IMPORTANT this information is for women. My doctor took me off of estradiol because of the "risks". I had no idea what the estradiol meant to my system. I am in a fog, I can't think, I can't sleep, hot flashes. Personally, I lost half the volume of my hair. This is all so heartbreaking. I have begged my doctor to keep me on estradiol. She has me on a tiny dose that she will not refill. I did my research and found much information re the importance of HRT but she will not budge. I cannot express what this video has meant to me. I Thank you Dr. Clare, I thank you Penny from the bottom of my heart. The information you have given this community is priceless. Please ladies, no matter how young you are this information is vital for every one of us.
Gotta go.
I'm off to fight for my estradiol.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Sending you strength! Is it possible to change doctors? I have a fantastic, informed doc and she’s changed my life. On HRT 2 years and feel like my old self again (but wiser 😉)
I’m sending you strength as well!!! Don’t stop until you get what you need!!
If your doctor won’t, consider another resource. You got this!!
@DianaRowanBrightWay who is your doctor?
This is my story,too.
Long-story short, my dr will not put me back on HRT due to the “risks”. Im looking for a different doctor but how do I know the new Dr won’t do the same thing. So frustrating.
@@jenniferegan2358 I can only imagine how frustrating it is. Can you look at doctor profiles before choosing a new one? Here's my doctor's profile, which made me choose her since she mentions using both both allopathic and alternative options mydoctor.kaiserpermanente.org/ncal/providers/antonianicosia
I am 59 and have been taking care of everybody else for years.
Now that my kids have all left home, and I care for my 92yo mom, I’m Exhausted a lot of the time. I walk a lot, watch my diet ,yet have started with this belly fat thing…..WTH!!?
I tried to bring up HRT at my last Dr. Appt and was ignored!
I need a new dr.
I wish I lived in Texas!
Being invisible is awful. 🫥
So happy to see this age group addressed at last for women.
I hope you are able to find a doctor who will listen to you!!! Sending hugs 😊
You titled this appropriately and I am grateful for you! This was by far the most important video I believe I have been exposed to in a VERY long time. Thank you for introducing me to this doctor and her wealth of information. Your questions were spot on and I already ordered her book. Grateful. Please keep speaking up for women facing these issues. So many in the appropriate fields are silent!!!!❤❤❤
Dr. Haver, you are sent from above! Thank you for making this your mission. We need more women like you! I took a deep dive into the menopause rabbit hole two years ago after my symptoms became severe. I'm so grateful they were, since that is what made me start HRT therapy. I since then now know that it might have save my life. I'm trying spread the word as much as I can amongst my friends. Sadly they are mostly waving me off telling me "they don't have hot flashes". But I will not give up. :) Thank you once again! And Penny, I owe you a lot too!! ❤
Thank you for inviting Dr. Mary Claire Haver to your channel. Dr Haver thank you for taking the time to educate this community about menopause I learned a lot. 💓
I have been educating myself about menopause for the last 4 years, when I started peri menopause and thought that it was my responsibility to share with my sisters and friends what I have learned about menopause on UA-cam. As soon as I hit menopause I asked my OBGYN for HRT and I was fortunate that he agreed to do so. As soon as I started HRT I felt more energetic and had less brain fog. I use an HRT combi patch. I take all the supplements mentioned in this video, eat a balanced diet and have no health issues.😊
What a fantastic conversation! Thank you so much for this. It would be great to hear more and more about this topic because it's so important to our health. Women after 50 have been neglected in so many ways and we need to stop this. We often live half of our lives without hormones and it impacts the quality of life. Thank you and I'm waiting for more when it comes to this subject 👍
This dr is so genuine and brilliant, I love how looks at womens studies. This proves men and women are not physiological the same. Men dont have to go through all these changes like women do. "She said we gaslight ourselves ", we need to know what she is sharing.
I started on the patch in my late 40’s and I’m so glad that I did.. I’m 63 now and doing well, still. 6.5 yrs out from OC. Thanks so much for inviting this knowledgeable doctor on to further educate us! I wonder if she knows my MD/menopause specialist Dr Diane Bitner.
I absolutely love her!! She is the reason I was able to help my OBGYN help me with all of these issues and drastically, and I mean DRASTICALLY, improve my quality of life!! She is truly a rockstar!! Thank you thank you thank you!!🙏🏻❤️💕🎯
We are our own biggest advocates!!! 😊
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE 🎯🎯🎯
😅😅😅😅
WOW! She’s an amazing advocate for women! This was an amazing video! Thank you
She truly is!!! ❤️
I so enjoyed this! I am (almost) 55yo and began HRT earlier this year. I had been feeling a little uneasy about my decision to begin HRT, but this interview put my mind at ease. Thank you!
Thank you. This was very informative and came at a very good time. I am 61and have been "weaning off" my HRT in the last few months. My symptoms are coming back and I feel crappy so I have been upping my dosage again in the last few days as a result. I have been on HRT for about 9-10 years and was of the belief that it was not healthy for me to stay on it for this long. Information from my doctor has been patchy and the decision has just been left with me more or less. This has changed my way of thinking about it.
Love this. I'm 67 retired RN. I am about to see a uro gyn next week to get to the bottom of some issues. I also have a family member with PCOS who has been on the pill for years.
Thank you both so much for the informative discussion! I'm 59, and had my last period 4 years ago. My OB-GYN has told me to just "deal with" the hot flashes, sleepless nights etc.... It's so refreshing and exciting to hear about my options from well informed and dedicated professionals who care...💕😊
I assume the obgyn who told you to just deal with it hasn't reached menopause yet.
I AM ANGRY SAD AND CRYING RIGHT I HAVE BEEN A SINGLE PARENT TRIED MY BEST NEVER PUT ME FIRST I AM 66YO NEVER REALLY TOOK CARE OF ME AND NOW BASICALLY HEAR IT IS TO LATE FOR MY PROTECTION…. SO VERY SAD AND FOR EVERY OTHER WOMAN WALKING IN MY SHOES… ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you ladies! Great information! ❤
Thank you!! Can’t wait to get your book!!
She’s a rockstar! Love everything Dr Haver is doing for the cause💕
Best video ever!!❤ thank you to both of you!!
Thank you both!!!!! An amazing video!!!!!❤
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! So informative. Loved it and learned so much.
Thank you sisters. Love and follow both of you 💚
Thank you for taking the time to share this valuable information for all of us!
Thank you for interviewing her. This was great!
Thank you both so much for doing this. We need more medical professionals like her.
I so very much appreciate you for being here !
Great interview with the lovely Dr Mary thanks. 😊
This was so helpful! Thank you one thousand times for this conversation!
Thank you for having Dr Haver on your channel! She is wonderful, I wish there were more Ob/GYN drs like her! So much great information!
Thank you both of you ❤
Very many thanks Penny and Dr. Haver! So much precious information and care. I will need to listen to this over and over. I appreciate you both, greatly.
Thank you both for this valuable information!
Thank you all for the best tips for menopause
This was amazing. I loved this discussion. And the information was much needed. ❤❤❤❤❤
A Very captivating plus very important video. Thousand thanks!!🌹🌹🌹
Great Video. Will definitely start following Dr. Haver
Thank you both for this excellent info! So encouraging and empowering to prioritize the underlying root causes behind the many external efforts we make.
Just listened! This was amazing! I have been following Dr. Haver for over a year. This discussion is succinct and answers so many questions. Thank you for sharing.
Love her… watching now. I am on both estradiol … I do a patch … progesterone oral… I’m 3 years period free (56)and I never had symptoms of menopause per say but after hearing about estrogen for the health benefits . Vaginal dryness was my main issue and that is not an issue anymore. So happy… I love that she does not prescribe Premarin 🐴 I’m wondering if she know Dr. Susan hardwick smith… she is also in Texas out of Houston. I learned everything I know about HRT from her and how to speak with my doctor. It’s great these wonderful open minded doctors are here for us so we can thrive as older women. I feel my skin is better too! Tighter, more vibrant…. 🤩 Thabks for sharing!! So important!
Thank you so much for your amazing channel!! This was so informative! I'm 42 and definitely noticing changes. This has helped so much to shine a light for me. Ordering books right now!❤
This video is so incredibly informative and helpful! Thank you and Dr. Haver for looking out for us!
Thank you Penn and Dr. Mary Claire Haver!!!!
Excellent information. Thanks to both of you for your work and inspiration!
Wonderful video Penny! Dr. Haver is an excellent resource on menopause and HRT. Thank you so much for sharing.
Best interview with Dr Haver I’ve seen-I’ve watched most of them! Thanks especially for the questions at the end!
Dr Haver so easy to understand and encouraging, knew exactly what I needed to ask for and got my HRT😊 thank you xx
Thank you Dr. Haver and Penn. This information was so helpful for me.
Thank you so much for this video!! I love you and Dr. Haven a ton!! Both of you are making a difference for women❣️ I’m forever grateful for all that you both bring to your channels ❤🙏
I am so happy to hear from a physician specializing in women’s health specifically post menopausal. Thank you thank you. I’m 62 and diagnosed with stage Ia, E and P positive breast cancer in 2019. I took the aromatase inhibitor prescribed (after lumpectomy and radiation).I had to stop it because of symptoms. I have all the symptoms of menopausal hormone decline. And didn’t think there was a solution. I feel positive after listening to Dr. Haver PS- I am a woman -the picture is not me!!!
Thank you for providing such great educators on your channel and thank you Dr. Haver for helping women with such a huge issue!
Thank you so much for doing this. This is such a confusing and rarely discussed topic. This was super helpful!!!!!
Thank you Penny and Dr Haver. This information is life changing and very different to the medical opinions here in South Africa.
Thank you Penny for having Dr. Haver on. I’m 51 and feel this was very needed information. Thank you both!
Thank you for this important information! I’m a week away from going to my appointment to ask to begin HRT. I’m devouring your info so that I may be well informed when I advocate for myself! Again, thank you to you both😊
Great video! I've been following Dr Haver since last year. I'm happy more people are talking about this and more informed. I experienced perimenopause in 2021 and have been educating myself since.
She is such an incredible, beautiful woman!!! You are sooooo appreciated ❤😊
Thank you so much for this discussion!
So informative. I have started following Dr Haver wished l lived closer to her practice . Thank you again 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!!
You are so welcome!
Penny, thank you SO much for this video🙏
This information is critical for every women on this earth.
Thank you for being so sincerely interested in learning and helping other women.
You are so genuinely kind and sincere.
Also you did this video ad - free which is very generous of you.
Thank you also to you Dr. Haver🙏.
You are so informed and articulate and I wish more physicians were like you.
Dr. Christiane Northrup wrote a book years ago and she was on Oprah. FANTASTIC information about menopause!!! She talks about the emotional part of menopause also. Well worth the purchase! Thank you to Dr. Haver ONCE AGAIN for all of her research on this crazy topic! I buy her fiber power and it's awesome.
Thank you for your videos and information!!! I really listened to you thoroughly on this video and appreciate the breakdown. I was almost upset with Doctors due to them NOT knowing or telling me anything. I’m 53 with NO uterus and can’t sleep at all. I do take transdermal Magnesium as well as the Thorne brand Magnesium every day!!! I thought someone would have at least told me some numbers on a test.
Can't wait till she comes back!❤
Fantastic talk! So much amazing information! Thank you so much!
I’m on an bioidentical 0.1 estradial patch for over a year now, problems started when I turned 50 and I got hot flashes, but the worst was not heing able to sleep, night sweats, tossing and turning, mood swings, depression and I’m a really fit person/gym rat. Hormon therapy helped me so much, it’s unbelievable 🙏🏻 Great podcast, Dr. Haver is an angel, thank you Penny for bringing her on ❤
As a PA-C this is one of the most informative discussions I have ever seen regarding HRT providing evidence based solutions. Thank you Dr Haver.
Loved this video and the doctor was so on her game. The information was very helpful and answered some questions I had.
Thank you so so much for this video. I will definitely check out Dr. Haver’s book and program. I’ve had a touch time physically and mentally with menopause and feel
so comforted to have such powerful advocates like you and Dr. Haver fighting for us to get the well-informed medical care we need. I appreciate both of you!
Thank You Penn & Dr. Haver 💐 I learned something new today. I’m telling you; it’s truly like talking to our children about puberty. This is our second wave. I’ll be the BIG 50 in Jan but haven’t had any perimenopausal symptoms. This is a huge informative video. I’m saving 💐🫶🏼💐
This was the most helpful informative video I have seen. Thank you!!😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you soooo much !!!! Dr Haver you are super!!🙌 Got my HRT patch today thanks to your advice❤❤. Thank you

Thank you for the great info!
I think Dr Mary Claire Haver is great, and so full of helpful information ! I've been subscribed to her for quite a while. I'm so grateful that she takes the time to get new information about menopause to give to us so that we are not the forgotten group of women. ❤
This was great information and thank you both for this information! ❤
Worlds collide. I’ve been following both of you for over a year. So glad to see this collab. Dr Haver’s information has really helped me. HRT has been such a game changer for me. I needed the patch as the pill was doing very little to remediate my perimenopause symptoms. I’m nearly 3 months on the patch and feeling so much better!
I’m so happy for you!!
Thank you so much! I am 56 and finally realized that I'm having hot flashes! I have an appt. w/my doctor soon and any amt. of information I can learn is the best! Thank you! 🙂
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’m 61 and going to my Gyn tomorrow. I never have any questions and now I have a bunch of things I never thought of to discuss with her. I am excited to follow Dr. Havrer and be more educated.
Thank you so much this was so so helpful
