Thanks for this video Angie… one of your best content so far. We hope to see more informative videos about menopause. Thanks for everything you do for this “ hot and flashy “ community! ❤
Angie what were the supplements/vitamins or scripts that were discussed when talking about the bone loss in the jaw. Y’all talked about a couple of people who had lost teeth and couldn’t get implants because the loss of bone in the jaw. I tried listening to it several times and just couldn’t make out what y’all were saying.
@@janellstarnes8029I went back curious as well it’s stated at about min 32:15 Fosonax? & Prolia? causing dental issues
*Not sure of spelling
At about min 35:03 she recommends a supplement called fortibone? Protein & collagen
Dr Mary Claire Haver is THEE best!!❤
This is UNBELIEVABLE. I'm 52. 3 years ago I went to my doctor because of hair loss. I asked if I could be starting menopause. Labs were drawn, the doctor said, no menopause... I started minoxidil with minimal results. I'm continuing but went back to the doctor with severe bone pain. He said given my younger years as an alcoholic, I'm in recovery, I should expect pain and problems. I went back to another doctor and she said no menopause, all my lab looks fine. Finally i went to a derm to address my hair loss, still just dealing with the bone pain, extreme fatigue and brain fog. She looked through my labs and said, girl you are in menopause. She gave me the name of a good gyno who would help. It feels so great just to be validated!!
And what about the hair loss? This is initially the reason why you consulted.
You were 49, and no doctor clued in to the fact that you were in menopause? Wtf.
👏👏👏 kudos to you on seeking you best interest . It's amazingly distressing knowing women go through this for treatment.
It really is shocking & sad how much doctors don't know about all the symptoms of menopause... I'm so happy you're getting the help you need!
How is you hair doing?
I’m 68 and started HRT last year. I was using estradiol patch and progesterone. .075 mg dose patch. I started bleeding and extremely sore breasts. My gynecologist did a D&C to see if I had cancer. All clear and he put me back on HRT. I decided to decrease my dose by cutting my patch in two. I feel better with no symptoms. In fact my urinary incontinence has improved. I’m saying all this to help others because we are the group left out but don’t have to be❤️
Wow a very low dose caused bleeding...
It is normal to have breakthrough bleeding when starting HRT. However, as long as you're getting relief from symptoms that's most important because that means you're avoiding the big 3 diseases.
@MBT372 everyone's body can respond differently. I'm 2 weeks into MHT and haven't had any bleeding, yet, on 0.025 Estrodial and 2.25 Progestin
@@DeeDee-rr3sn that's not even the recommended Lowest dose to prevent the big 3. Seems like your doctor just wrote you a placebo prescribed. FYI minimum dose is preventative. Dr. Barbara Taylor has an entire series on the topic here on UA-cam.
I'm 57 and getting ready to start patch and progesterone due to symptoms. Thank you for this information!
I must’ve had the best OBGYN ever in 2001 when I went menopausal AND it was right after the hault of the WHI study. She explained to me the flaws of the study and that if I didn’t take HRT my health would suffer. I waited a year because I was still afraid to take it but finally did so and now I feel very fortunate. When I told my girlfriends and sisters at the time they just looked at me in horror like I was about to die. Thank goodness there is more awareness and social media to get the information out. With that said we shouldn’t have to get informed this way. At 68 I’m still on HRT patch, vaginal estrogen and micronized progesterone.
What an amazing doctor!
I love that Justin attended and was supportive of his wife!!! Kudos to him! ❤
YES
Who is Justin?
right? i already subscribe to his channel and was a bit confused seeing him there. thank you for supporting the whole panel!! 🥰
Last year at this time I was miserable. Had gained 30 pounds in one year, heart racing, panic attacks, fainting spells, couldn’t sleep, hot flashes , night sweats. Allllll the things. I saw one of Angie’s videos on Menopause (thank you Angie!!!❤️) and decided to find a dr who would prescribe HRT (mine wouldn’t). Found Midi health and now I’m down 50 pounds, no more symptoms AT ALL. I fell like I’m 35 instead of 53. I’ve shared Dr Haver’s videos with at least a dozen women now!! Thank you thank you Dr Haver! You’re saving our lives ❤
I've been suffering with many of the same symptoms for the last 3 years (43-45), been gaslit by several docs including a "menopause specialist" obgyn who ended up just being a pellet pusher and who refused to treat until a year without a period. 🤦 Saw a Midi Health specialist via telehealth about a month ago and had a estradiol patch and oral progesterone the same day. It has completely fixed all my symptoms! A miracle!
❤
I had the same symptoms. 4 visits to pcp and gyn. I was told I don't believe in giving hrt over 50. I sought a younger more up to date gyn. She was amazing. 2 months in my symptoms have all subsided. Not completely, but HRT is truly amazing
Is bioidentical hormones HRT that you’re referring to? I’m confused. My doctor said I don’t need bioidentical and to go with anything HRT? Thanks in advance!
@@tanyakowalski6994 from what I understand, "bio-identical" is a marketing term. They're all bioidentical.
Justin, I commend you for sitting through this conversation. Your wife is a lucky lady. Kudos to you.
Yes, I’m always impressed when they sit on a panel or do interviews on this subject. He actually looks interested too! 😀
I'm 56 and just started last month.....wish I would have started sooner. Was scared because of all the lack of information I had. I feel 💯better.
Love Dr Haver. Where do we find these studies?
Honestly, medical terminology needs updating. Women of the world deserve apologies from Medical Institutions for continuing to use deflating and condescending language to describe women after 30. Examples: A woman after 30 is having a "geriatric" pregnancy and after 60/70 a woman has a senile vagina! Yep, get it that the ovaries are dying but its already hard enough. Change the language! After 40, already ageism is rife for getting a job or keeping a high level job.. Society had been shouting "not good enough", "work harder", "be more..of everything" all our lives... these conversations are crucial.. Thank you forever, Angie.. Your research and sharing elevates us. Women of all ages, we need to be seen, celebrated and respected far better globally...medically, socially, financially, professional, mentally, physically & emotionally.. Here's to women supporting women, and to healthy men and non-binary supporting their sisters... Angie, You are a leader. Respect & Love to you. ❤❤❤
The terminology for woman over 35 having babies is “AMA , advanced material age” it is not “geriatric” over 30.
Not in Australia or in Ireland! Nice to know it's not as bad elsewhere..
As an RN, I TOTALLY AGREE!!
The terminology, created by men, keeps women’s health in the dark ages. Words matter.
@mossyoakmom8880 as an RN that worked in neonatal intensive care “geriatric pregnancy” was definitely used in the past (in the USA).
@@mcd5478 As a nurse in labor and delivery for the past 17 years, it has never been termed geriatric where I’m employed. Like I said, 35 and over is Advanced Maternal Age. I happen to be in Southern California, USA.
After a hysterectomy due to cancer with my ovaries also removed, I took estrogen for 5 years with great effect. My (male)doctor basically forced me to cut down and then go off my HRT after 5 years, with a dramatic and horrible result for me, night sweats, hot flushes, NO sleep for 6 months. I went back and found a lovely female GP who was so sympathetic and immediately put me onto an estrogen gel and I have been on this for 5 years with good results. Ladies, find a sympathetic educated doctor and fight for your health
Thank you, Angie for this amazing discussion. I am 73. I feel like my generation was adversely affected because of that woman’s health study years ago. My daughter is 50. I told her to be sure to set herself up with a good doctor to avoid the uncomfortable symptoms I have experienced.
For 8 years, I've dealt with horrible hot flashes. I'm a nurse, and has had how bad it is to do HRT (I have no risk factors), so I have resisted taking. In last 3 years, I've been dealing with palpitations, tinnitus, brain fog, joint pain, tired all the time, etc. Listening to the Dr I'm blown away. Just last month, done with hot flashes, I asked for HRT. Have not started, as there is a delay in getting the progesterone. I'm excited now to start. My mom, in her 80s, still takes estrogen since she was in her 40s, and she's always full of energy. I'm the one that feels like I'm in my 80s. I want to show this to my Gyn, who is my age, help her understand.
Can we PLEASE get Mary Claire Haver in a room with Dr. Jen Gunter to discuss their widely different interpretations of this research they both claim to scour through with a fine tooth comb? It’s so frustrating and I don’t know who/what to believe!
My menopause symptoms are 99% vaginal. EXTREME dryness, from one day to the next when I turned 50. I actually considered that not being here would be a better alternative than the hell I was experiencing 24/7. Burning, stinging, pain to the point that sitting hurt, wearing pants hurt, walking hurt. I tried lubes, aloe vera, coconut oil…everything!!! Constant bladder infections, multiple bladder scopes. IF I had sex, I would have pain, pressure, burning for 5-6 days after. Finally, my GYN gave me estrogen suppositories and my life got so much better. Then, when my periods stopped, I STOPPED sleeping. I would get MAYBE 2-3 hours a night. A new GYN finally put me on HRT. My life is 100% better! I still, after three years on it, have some vaginal issues, and need estradiol tablets internally + cream externally. I am now 57. I have sex 2-4 times a week, no more bladder infections, I sleep 9 hours a night and lift heavy weights 4-5 days a week. I will NEVER go off of HRT!
OMG, I'm so sorry you had to go through that but so happy you got HRT & relief & got your life back!
I was never going to stop Premarin. At 71 I was dx with breast cancer. It was estrogen positive so I had to stop. Now my weight is up and my tendons and muscles are not doing well.
Oooooh sister I hear you! I had the same issues and hated that I couldn't have sex without pain! I had the burning and pain at first I thought it was a yeast infection so I went to the "old" obgyn and he said that I was just dry! He offered no help and just clasped his hands together. I didn't understand the symptom of the burning though. I hadn't even had sex. Now I'm feeling better than I ever have on HRT!!!! HALLELUJAH! Also, my husband has been so loving and understanding. I'm happy for you!!
Well, glad that worked for you. I use the cream, but I have to say, sex is just still pretty uncomfortable. It doesn’t feel like knives, but definitely NOT comfortable. Even when I was taking oral HRT, it wasn’t great starting in my 50s.
My menopausal brain started feeling overwhelmed and fragmented with the info at about 25 minutes! Nothing negative toward the video, I’m just saying that’s my menopausal brain for you! lol!
I’m 40 and I can’t THANK YOU enough for advocating and using your platform to educate. I’m so grateful to you, Angie.
I’m 68, was on HRT, then the WHI came out, then no more HRT. I’m healthy, 3 Docs have declined to rx HRT. I feel that women of my era have deprived of appropriate treatment.
I LOVE Dr Haver and Dr Stacy Sims. They seem to be the forerunners in the field of menopause ... I'm OVER doctors who don't listen to their patients. Thanks Angie for having Dr. Haver on H&F.
It was such a gift to be able to interview her!
Agree!!! 👍🏼 I’m 64 and I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!!
Mmm - yah, I love ❤️ DR. Stacy Sims😍
I recommend her alot in comments sections on SM - to women frustrated by, not only fitness advice...[but also ignorance of many physicians ignoring menopausal needs for their female patients]😮
BUT! Also fitness needs & advice, basically for men
and generally BY men...but with no distinction whatever that they are advising women on their fitness needs, based almost entirely on MEN'S fitness studies 🙄.
Previously unknown to many of us- but pointed out now by Dr. Sims.)
@@mcd5478, I started HRT at 64. I am mad as hell as well-but doctors had no training and were given bad, very bad information. It will take decades to get women back on track. At our age and since we missed the golden preventative years…our best approach is to be uber aggressive about our healthy lifestyle. And, take HRT so at least things don’t get worse! (I have horrific osteoporosis which cannot really be reversed to a great extent-working on it).
I wish Dr Haver and some of the newer social media menopause advocates would acknowledge others that have led the way in this era of openness and education, like Dr Barbara Taylor. I know that you have featured her a lot Angie and I guess her style might not suit everyone, but she’s been doing the educating and speaking up for years already. This was an excellent talk, and even though I try and keep myself educated, I learnt a few new things. So thank you for all you do in this space 🙌🏻❤️
Yes! Dr. Haver is wonderful and so is Dr Barbara Taylor - who pioneered me through menopause education and I still follow her and give her all the kudos!
Yes .. my dr said I was as too old to keep taking it 66 ..so went tele health ❤ALLOY❤❤
Im also 66. Never been on hrt. Going to start estradiol patch .025 and progesterone 200 Mc. What did they put you in?
I’m also 66. Stated HRT last year after providers refused (for years). I do the pellets. And I haven’t felt this good in years. Never going back.
I just looked at Alloy’s medications. Do they not offer progesterone and testosterone?
@@georgiabessie If you didn't go through your providers, how were you able to get the HRT? I'm 64 and have never been on HRT, but I am certainly interested.
@@SheilaJames-sg5gi
I went the bioidentical pellet route. I live in a very rural area. I get an estrogen and testosterone pellet. I take 100mg of progesterone every night. I also use estradiol vaginal cream 2-3x a week. I do the Sottopelle method. I’m in college. One of my women’s health professors work at the place.
I just started using the patch and oral progesterone at 64, not sure if I’m out of the 10 year window but probably close if not just past it. I decided to use Alloy health after close to a decade of trying to find a Dr. who would help me and coming up disappointed every time. Best decision ever!
My doctor started ordering me bone density at 50 yrs old. I love that man!!! He will pretty much do any test I ask for as long as I can present him with some valid reason for it.
You are blessed
This is the exact same type of doctor I’m trying to replace!
I’m exhausted.
I need and demand a doctor that is the the best, thinks outside of the box and stays current.
Mine too. He’s a family practice dr and I ask for blood work to check something and he always writes an order for it.
I am one of those who refused HRT because I had a family history of breast cancer, mother and paternal grandmother. At 66 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, so I got it anyway! I really wish now I would've taken the HRT, but at 68, I am past that window the Dr. spoke of. Since I am on post cancer medication, I am unable to use estradials. It's very frustrating! Thank you, Angie, for asking the Dr about our age group! Kudo's to Justin for taking part! Great conversation and very informative! I am naturally thin, so I just ordered a weighted vest and will be wearing that daily!
My main symptoms were a little trouble sleeping and a little incontinence which I had accepted as “Well, at least I’m not having a hard time with menopause. I don’t need HRT.” And then I got a diagnosis of osteoporosis at the age of 53!!!
I started estradiol patch with oral micronized progesterone and vaginal testosterone. Immediately I was sleeping SO WELL-in a way that I didn’t realize I was missing! I’m a month in and my incontinence is better. And I have started a comprehensive program with a trainer for strength and bones. We will see how it goes for the osteoporosis.
Angie , thank you SO much for asking the question about a 68 year old (I’m 69, almost 70) who isn’t a candidate for HRT. That is me…. I’ve been off HRT since age 50. I do all the things she mentioned including exercising, lifting heavy weights, I eat well, protein intake, avoiding sugar, I take collagen. Made me realize I’m doing as much as I can but need to continue.
This video gave me so much hope! I feel horrible and am willing to fight for HRT. I also am really curious about estrogen for the face! That sounds like a miracle!
Angie, You are so beautiful and genuine. Thank you for your authenticity 🙏
Im 67 & been menopausal since 55. Absolutely no symptoms or complaints. Asked my Dr about bioidentical hormones when I turned 56 & she said "why since I was in such good health." I feel for those who do have issues. My Dr said it could be that my diet contributed to no issues as I've eaten organic non-processed foods since the age of 14 & stear clear of seed oils, no alcoholic beverages & don't smoke. Exercise & lift weights. 💪
You are doing the right thing by having led a healthy lifestyle and continuing to do so.
I've heard from the hrt doctors that diet has a huge influence on menopause symptoms. Hrt may be good for some people but sounds so difficult to find the right doctor and to know if you're getting the right treatment
Awesome you are staying well! Estrogen deficiency can cause osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and heart disease. I kindly urge you to research this and replace estrogen to avoid these diseases.
Thank you stating this. Me too, "sailed through menopause. " reasons?? Never took birth control pills, no alcohol, no drugs, no cigarettes, clean living. No hot flashes. No sleep problems. This video sounds more like an infomercial for selling HRT.
@rw7206 I have done the research . I didn't mention exercise, but I've been weight lifting since the age of 18. Lifting is so good for the bones. I'm not knocking anyone who benefits from hrt, but I've never experienced any of the issues others have since being in menopause.
Thank you for this. I turned 51 in September and started HRT in May. I live in the UK so without your channel, I would have not come across Dr Haver. (Dr Newsom is the UK equivalent :).
22:42 most important thing in my opinion: if you start soon after menopause, you can have hrt until the end of your life 🎉
Thank for educating women on this . Society punishes you for aging and menopause is a grey area where women do not have information . Thank you Angie for this great video !
I'm in tears watching this. I was on HRT years ago after a full hysterectomy. My Dr wanted me off. Is it too late for me to go back on HRT? I'M now about 60lbs+ overweight. I was never overweight my entire life. I was taking Premarin.
IMO it's not too late. I have been on estrogen since I was 38, after I had a complete hysterectomy. My Dr. waited about a month before starting me on estrogen (pills). I'm now 64 and still taking them daily. I just had a bone density test a few weeks ago and it was normal. I hope to stay on estrogen until I meet my maker. 🙂
What do you take and what mg?@@susaninsocal550
My mum was on HRT for years and is now 93 and in good shape. I am 63, so I am the generation that was scared off HRT. I have had a relatively mild transition - apart from a lot of hot flashes I did not have symptoms. But I wish that I had been on HRT when I transitioned because of all the health benefits. I am so angry that a whole generation of women was scared off HRT. It is too late for me - so I try to do what I can to be healthy as I get older - lifting heavy (which I have come to love), eating protein, jumping and doing sprint interval training (though I hate it 😬)
I feel this anger and frustration. Good for you for jumping into all the other stuff. ❤
I'm angry about it too... menopausal women have been failed over the last 20 years 😡
My Drs still don't have a clue. But please note that it's not too late to start on HRT as preventative. It helps with so many things post menopause
@@MGSpecial2023 Regarding starting HRT in late postmenopause , Marie Claire Haver said in the video that it would depend on different things eg the calcification of your arteries, if you still have symptoms. But sadly I don’t trust my doctor to do the right tests to see if I could be a candidate. It seems like (some of) the US doctors are better - in Denmark where I live there is no conversation about menopause🙁
SAME! 😭😤
I had two ‘strange’ symptoms that both resolved right after I started HRT. Unexplained tailbone pain - bad. Tests/MRIs, etc. all normal. Started HRT - tailbone pain went away almost immediately. I also had a burning tongue sensation in my mouth (learned it’s actually a syndrome call ‘burning mouth syndrome’). Started HRT - it’s gone. I’m so thankful to Angie because all of her advocacy and education made me dig in and do my own research. Been on .05 patch and IUD for progesterone for a couple of years. I feel great and feel indebted to Angie! ❤. Just started Testosterone cream (.5 ml) about a week ago to help with libido and increase muscle mass and bone health - we’ll see??!! THANK YOU ANGIE! You changed my life!
Just started this video and have to say that I respect and appreciate that Justin is part of this discussion.
Thank you for providing info on this vital topic. I have spent the last 6-7 yrs trying to “tough it out”, trying to explains my symptoms to my primary doctor with no luck. My life is now so impacted that I had to do something. I had an eye opening appointment with Midi Health who’s NP validated all my issues were perimenopause and now finding through blood work (that no one else ordered) that may have a thyroid autoimmune disease also.
Thank you for this great Conversation. It may be cynical, but you don't earn money with healthy Women. When you look into the topic of HRT, you quickly realize, how many Diseases can be reduced or prevented. I myself had bad Heartpalpitations due to hormone changes. I was supposed to take Medication for the Rest of my Life. Then I started with progesterone and within 1 week I was fine. Women need to know this.
A doctor ( female) wrote a book stating estrogen will kill you . If you have problems we can give you stations for elevated cholesterol, antidepressants for bad mood and bisphosphonates for osteoporosis. ( In other words we will take care of you with drugs). So ,no you aren't being cynical.
Post menopausal care and HRT should be included in the healthcare regime for EVERY WOMAN, not just those that can pay extra. It should be fully covered by insurance, the same as peri/post-natal or regular medical care, or medication for other medical issues.
To my disgust, after my HRT appointment with my Gyne, I received a survey from my very large, well-known, medical group in San Diego. There was only one question - if I would pay extra to go to a women's HRT/menopause clinic. I answered NO !!! The survey didn't even give an opportunity to expand on your response, just yes or no. Women are 50% of the population and our health, over our entire lifespan, deserves to be taken into account.
Dr Mary Claire Haver simply the best lady you have had on your show to talk about hormones. So passionate and giving. Love her.
Angie - would love you to cover estrogen for the face. Thank you again for your channel!!
Yes
Oh my gosh this was like finding a gold nugget! I’ve been putting on weight in my belly and nothing was helping. Now I know why. I bought two of her books today and downloaded samples on my Kindle to get a jump start on the Galveston diet. I would love to know if you follow it and if there’s any other good ideas to share with us! Thank you so much for doing this video!❤
Amazing! Thank you! I’m 65 stopped using HRT 1.5 years ago.. my body has definitely Let me know it was a huge mistake.
Applaud Justin for listening and supporting this discussion! He is amazing in another way! Bravo
So lucky to listen to you at the age of 42, so I can make good decisions for my health. Thanks!!
Love this content! 🙌
At 65 and a half, I just recently discovered Dr. Haver and her information. I have two daughters who are entering their 30's and this information gives me hope for them. I hit menopause right at 40 and no doctor batted an eye. I very briefly had a doctor who prescribed bioidentical hormone creams but the realities of Obama-care destroyed my compounding pharmacy (no compounding pharmacists at the "big" pharmacies")...it also dealt the final straw for that doctor to leave her practice. No other doctor would prescribe hormones for me. Now, I feel a bit sad that I may have missed the boat. I did see a "Functional medicine" practitioner but she said it is too late for me to use estrogen, except vaginally. Listening to this makes me hopeful that I may still be able to use estrogen systemically to hold on to the health I do have. I am very thankful for all women that this information is coming to light. This was a beautiful conversation to listen in on.
ANGIE!! That discussion was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Dr. Mary Claire really covered so many great pieces of menopause. I especially loved that there was a part covering how the men in our lives can support us. ♥
Loved all the information!!!! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this!!
Great video!
Hanging on every word. Millions of women in the world, yet we feel we are alone when we go through menopause. It isn't taboo to talk about anymore. So it is so important to educate. Being validated that what we feel is real, and we are not crazy. Thank you for this video. ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH ANGIE!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Awesome video Angie!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Incredibly helpful. Thank you!😊
Such a helpful video. Thank you Angie!! 💜
Excellent content. Thank you Angie and Dr. Haver!!
Wow!! I am 44 and learned so much! My mom & aunt had a terrible time. My grandma seemed to have it relatively easy. She didn’t even know when she went through it exactly. So glad this is being learned about and spoken about. so no woman feels isolated or that there’s something wrong with her. ❤️
This was a fantastic video!
Thank you Angie for doing this video!!! 🎉
This was amazing! Thank you so much for doing this.
THANK YOU ANGIE!!!! I REALLY NEEDED THIS!!!
I just checked, and my library has this book! Woo-hoo! Angie, I really enjoy your health videos. I have learned so much, and they spark me to do my own research. My PCP and gynecologist are doing the right things so far. I’m 61, and the nurse practitioner at my gynecologist’s office told me at my last checkup that I would have to go off HRT at age 70. If I am still seeing her by the time I approach that age, she and I will be having a discussion about this, and I will find a new provider if I need to do so. I plan on staying on HRT the rest of my life! PS… I am also on vaginal estrogen and have been told I can stay on that as long as I want to.
This was great, thank you x
