Dr Mathis should be teaching this information to others doctors, if they would listen. It's unfortunate more doctors don't know this. I'm in So Cal and am having trouble finding a doctor as knowledgeable as Dr. Mathis. Surprised my husband is still with me. My lack of hormones and getting no help from my doctors has ruined my life.
I am so sorry you are struggling!
I know how challenging it is, not just for you, but on a relationship. Please do not give up! If you are in Southern California I would highly recommend seeing Dr Mathis. He is in Santa Barbara. Please let me know if I can help with anything and please keep me posted.

@@claudiaglows Thank you Claudia. I just can't make the trip to Santa Barbara right now. I watch my granddaughter and have a part time job. I hope and pray I can find someone more local.
@@4tun8nanette I completely understand. You can call Dr Mathis and hopefully he can help you that way, if you are not able to find someone local
Please keep me posted
Thanks again for this video. I am 75yo and have been on HRT since 48. It is important to take control of your own treatment. I appreciate the position that HRT is good for older women! At the beginning, my symptoms were almost entirely brain function (thinking was like swimming through mud), and mood, NOT hot flashes. Regarding different HRT modes, I have done pills, patches, creams and pellets. Pills (low dose bc pills) were awful for me, and I bled 3 weeks out of 4.. Estradiol patches worked great from 48 to 65 years old (with oral progesterone), then my testosterone dropped through the floor. Creams just did not "reach" me. I started pellets in 2010, and I can see Dr. Mathis's point about too much, which is what my first dose was, I was too horny and gained a lot of weight in just a couple of months. I immediately cut the dose in half for the next implant, and over the years adjusted. I adjusted down to not have any side effects like facial hair or acne. But my pubic hair grew back!! If someone wants to try pellets, I agree with starting low and working from there (like 50-75mg T/ 12.5mg E2) and then seeing how you do. I have been on 100 T and 25 E2 for about 8 years, no longer taking P, as I had a hysterectomy for unrelated issue. I recently upped the T to 112.5 mg for a dose that will better protect my bones and breasts. I don't feel much different, maybe a tiny bit more zip in my libido, but basically the same. My pellets last about 4-5 months. My gyn was the first provider, then I moved and found another gyn who does pellets. He no longer does gyn surgery but still does pellets. When he retires, I will find someone else, as this is what works for me, and it is not extreme. Thank you for helping so many women.
Katherine, thank you so much for sharing your experience with the different forms of HRT. I am so glad to hear the pellets work for you! And it sounds like you have really gotten to know your body very well during all of this, which is incredible. I love your attitude of going and finding someone that will help you feel the way you deserve!
Thank you again for sharing what works for you , and for being here. I know your comment will be very helpful to those who read it

Thank you so much for sharing, Katherine. How do you go about finding the right provider? I just had a menopause consultation, but I'm not convinced she's the right person for me, but at the same time is my first time trying to find a gyn that can best manage my menopause and be open to long term use.
@@annieg.7051 Hi Annie, that is very positive that she is open to menopause management over the long term. It has taken me years to find the right providers, and I have moved around a bit, which complicates things. Start with the NAMS website. I first tried a NP that was listed, and she worked for a gyn. That was fine until I needed the T and wanted to try pellets. It was just luck that there was a gyn in my city that had just begun offering that, working within a larger women's health practice. So, NAMS is the first place to start. When I moved 70 mi away, I kept going back a couple of times, then googled HRT pellets in xxx - my new town, and there were a few. Again, the NP was listed, but she worked within a Gyn's practice. She eventually left and I continued with the Gyn for my other female stuff, and he was so much better at the pellet insertion! I moved again and tried another local provider, but they were very commercial, and asked me to repeat tests I had just done - through their own lab - and then they ended putting me on creams that I did not like. I ended up driving back to my last provider for 2 years. We moved again! this time back near my usual provider. By then, he had retired from his GYN practice, but has a separate office for pellets and some other aesthetic procedures. So, every 4 months or so I visit him. His wife is the nurse. All to say that you have to be willing to fail sometimes, and start over. Finding a provider is so hard! I have been looking for my sister in a different part of the country, and found a couple who are NPs, Family Medicine, or Internal Medicine trained and are doing pellets. Now, what is the right provider? One who really listens to you, and will answer your questions genuinely. And you must feel comfortable and safe with them. You will meet some duds, but hopefully some terrific people. All the best!
@@kmjdebay thank you so much for your feedback. It helps me a lot. Stay safe and well.
…”Put a person back together”. What a great guy.
It is a great way of putting it.

He is an amazing doctor that knows the hell peri-menopause and menopause is.
I agree Winny! Dr Mathis really knows his stuff and he has been a lifesaver for me
I hope you are having a great day

Thank you so much for making this video. I’m 56 and at the end of my rope. In 1 year I’ve flatlined from having 350 estrogen to no trace at all after testing last month. I’m struggling so much. Your video and introduction to Dr Mathis I hope is my key to getting help. Calling him tomorrow. I don’t care what I have to do to get to him from Virginia. It feels like life or death. Thank you with all my heart for sharing. And you’re so beautiful! Inside & out. Im so glad you got help. You’re an inspiration to us all. ❤
Hi, first off thank you so much for your very kind words. I am very glad this video was helpful and I am also glad you will reach out to Dr Mathis. Calling him is best, but be patient with him, he can be a bit scattered. However I am so sorry you are struggling like this. I have been there and know exactly how you feel. Please know there is hope and you will feel better soon with the right help. Please keep me posted and let me know if there is anything I can do to help
xx
Thank you Claudia! Please keep bringing Dr. Mathis back for the latest bhrt updates and studies! Thanks for all you do!!!! 🤗💚
Hi Alma, I am glad you enjoyed this. I actually have a few more videos with Dr Mathis you might find helpful

Thank you Claudia for caring enough to do this. Thank you Dr Mathis for taking the time to do this. This kind of information is priceless for some women.
I am happy you are here Lanette, and glad to hear this was helpful!
Wishing you a wonderful day

So mad at myself for not starting earlier with this HRT. I have been pretty miserable for the last 10 years. Dealing with sleep issues and more. I am praying that when my HRT ever arrives and i start on this journey it will make a real difference. Thank you for making these videos with the good doc.
Hi Beth, I am so sorry to hear that you struggled for 10 years. But it is never too late and now you are on the path to feeling better. Please know that if things do not fall in place right away, it might need a bit of tweaking here and there, so work with your doctor and do not give up. You can also always reach out to Dr Mathis, his info is below the video. And if I can help with anything, please do not hesitate to reach out.
xx
@@claudiaglows Do you think Dr. Mathis could explain my blood work with my estrogen etc?
@@bethbilous4720 yes, he can def. explain and guide you
How are you doing now Beth? I see you posted this 4 months ago. Hope you are feeling better. I just started 2 weeks ago.. I'm praying I start to feel better soon!
I was like you,for 10 years miserable life until my friend told me about HRT,now I speak out loud about it.
Claudia and Dr. Mathis thank you ! Finding people who understand all of this is rarer than gold. Having the NHS here in the UK I think it’s harder to get answers because our consultations are free. It’s like you just have to be grateful for what u get…. And believe me I am always grateful. However that does not get me answers for the thing that has totally taken over and in many ways destroyed my life. They don’t like you onHRT for long here in UK because of the cancer risk. I myself don’t drink or smoke but they are wanting me off the HRT. I don’t do amazingly on them but off them I’m horrendous if that’s even possible . Thank you for explaining and caring. God bless you xx
Thank you so much excellent info. I love my nurse practitioner but she believes 5 years only. I wish the medical community would focus more on menopause and get updated information. I might have to take a trip to Santa Barbara. Take care
Hi Karen, it is great to hear from you. You are so right, I wish the medical community would do the same. If Santa Barbara is not too far, it is def. worth a trip to see Dr Mathis
Please let me know if I can help with anything
Lots of love

@@claudiaglows Hi Claudia it's only around 3100 km. away I live in Saskatchewan Canada. When our son lived in Burbank we drove 2 or 3 times a year and flew over once or twice each year so definitely doable for me. I really enjoy when you do interviews. Take care
@@bekind4329 that is quite a way! But if you see him once, he can do the rest over the phone
Thank lease keep me posted

Claudia - I appreciate how you allow the good Dr. to talk without interruption.
HI Jane, I am glad you are here and you enjoyed this video.

Hello dear Claudia! Dr. Mathis has a big heart and a great knowledge. I wish him stay safe and healthy. And to you as well:) .hugs
Hi Marina, thank you for your sweet comment. Yes, Dr Mathis has a very kind heart.
I hope you are well and are having a great week

Thank you for posting this. I went on pellets & my testosterone levels are super high & I asked why & they said oh, don’t pay so much attention to the reference ranges. I think I’ll either call this man or Life Extension to get another opinion. I had been thinking about it, so very grateful you posted this. It gave me some direction.
Hi Lorraine, thank you for being here. It is so frustrating to hear about doctors who do not give you the right information and really don't care. Yes, call Dr Mathis, or take a look at the labs listed in the description box. Please let me know if there is anything I can do and please keep me posted
Wishing you good luck

Thank you for this. I needed to hear that I shouldn't give up. I had literally decided this week that I'm done fighting for this. My doctor completely ignores my questions and requests. You've changed my mind. I'm going to keep fighting. I want to feel decent!!!!
I am so sorry to hear about your bad doctor, Hannah! It infuriates me. They work for us, since we pay them, yet they are so full of it. Please do not give up, and let me know if there is anything I can do to help. You can also call Dr Mathis, his info is linked below

Don't give up. I have just started my HRT. Only been two weeks now. I am hoping and praying I soon start to feel better. I am 64 and have never been on hormones but I think I could have used them 25 years ago. Nobody in my town where I live, would help me. So I called Dr Mathis and am working with him now. 🙏
Wow this Dr truly cares! I wish he could help me. My obgyn is wanting to do a hysterectomy and just wait and see if i need hormones. The last 2 years have been awful no energy, low sex drive, dry skin,weight gain every symptom screaming balance my hormones. My son is 24/7 trach/vent i need my energy back to keep up! I just want my life back, i'll be 50 in August.
Hi Tammy, I am so sorry to hear about your struggles! And hearing how your obgyn wants to deal with it makes me mad! I went through a few years of struggle and doctors not listening until I found Dr Mathis. Please reach out to Dr Mathis. If you are inside the US he can help you, if you are outside the US, he can at least advice you. And please let me know if there is anything I can do to help, you can always email me at ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com

Hi Claudia! I love these videos with Dr. Mathis. They are so important for women of all ages. The way you guys explain and interact is awesome. Thank you! I was also wondering if there is a list of the actual laboratory tests he recommends on these test yourself site. Best! Elsy
Hi Elsy, it is lovely to hear from you, thank you for your kind comment. You know, Dr Mathis did not mention a specific list of tests, but I would say def. estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid, for which I know Dr Mathis prefers T3 by Tracer, or at least free T3.
I hope this helps. Feel free to call Dr Mathis, he is always happy to help. And please let me know if there is anything I can do.
Wishing you a great weekend

Thanks for these discussions. I’ve been on Bio HRT for about 5 years, since age 57. I had a partial hysterectomy at age 36 and things went downhill from there and I could not find a practitioner who would help me. They insisted that my ovaries would keep functioning. I had symptoms of menopause at 53, which surprised me. I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, celiac, psoriasis, lupus, and tinnitus, and have had lots of bowel problems. I’ve straightened out most of the bowel problems with diet and lifestyle. I gained weight and starved it off and cycled through weight gain and starving for years. First autoimmune diagnosis was at age 11. The medical model really failed me, but I looked good on the outside, and that didn’t help my situation. I finally realized that insurance was the problem, so I found a doctor, paid out of pocket, and got going with tests and hormones. It has taken years for us to get everything right, but I’ve been great for about a year and a half, and I’m at my perfect weight effortlessly. I’m fit and healthy overall in spite of the autoimmune issues which are all either in remission or controlled. I forget that I have these diagnoses. I feel great in my body most of the time. I take compounded oral DHEA, oral porcine thyroid, oral progesterone, and oral low dose naltrexone, use cream testosterone and cream estrogen, all from my compounding pharmacist across the state. They ship to me quarterly. I’m a poor methylator as shown in prior tests and I wonder about the Biest cream effectiveness. The issue with all this is the cost. My NP requires frequent appointments and so many labs, even when I’m feeling good. If I have a question between appointments, I have to pay $200 for access in addition to paying for regular appointments. My doctor/NP are 600 miles away, and at least now, I get to do phone visits and don’t have to take off work and spend the money to travel. I plan to retire next year, and I have to choose between my bio HRT or other needs and wants. I want to find a new doctor, practice, or NP, but I’m so afraid of going back to the horrible existence I had before HRT. I live in a tiny remote town with few resources, but there is a local clinic and NP who does T/E pellets. I’m wary of how they’ll work for me. I don’t know if that NP will keep my compounded porcine thyroid prescription going, and this is very important to my well-being. I’m trying to reach the local NP for an appointment, but no call back yet. My current NP is making me travel again for expensive labs even though everything looked perfect 1 month ago. She holds my prescriptions hostage for these labs. Thanks for reading. I’m so frustrated, and yet I feel great. This should be a peaceful time for me after doing all this work.
Hi Gwen, I am so sorry you have to worry about these things. It makes me so angry that we have to worry about getting the help and prescriptions we need. Please call Dr Mathis. He will not require you to constantly see hime just to refill your prescription and he might just be able to prescribe the same things or even tweak things a bit for you to feel even better. I too take compounded porcine thyroid prescribed by Dr Mathis as well as compounded HRT, all of it gets send to me quarterly, and I do not need to see Dr Mathis every time.I just call him from time to time to check in.
Like you said, this should be a peaceful time for you, not one to worry about whether your doctor calls you back and fills your scripts. If I can do anything to help, please do not hesitate to reach out, my email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com

@@claudiaglows I will call Dr. Mathis! He’s so good at this. I just didn’t realize this is an option. I hope he can prescribe in my state, etc., or however that works. Claudia, thank you so much! I’ll check back in.
@@GwenMotoGirl please keep me posted.

So glad you found help, Claudia. I was very lucky not to experience any issues from menopause.
You were very lucky, Debbie!! I am glad you had no struggles
Wishing you a wonderful week, thank you for being here

Wow Claudia, that was a great video. It could arm a lot of women with information to help them speak with their doctors. Personally, I've been on the patch for years and it's worked a treat (thank goodness). It's so comforting to know there are doctors out there that can help. Keep up the good work!
Hi Mary, I am so glad to hear the patch is working well for you!
And you are right, Dr Mathis always gives us priceless information in these interviews. I am very grateful to know him
xx
Gorgeous Claudia, This was amazing and Dr. Mathis is a gift. For a doctor to advocate finding another doctor and getting blood work independently is awesome. We have to feel like we deserve to feel better and we do. I hope many, many women and men find this video! I care for someone with Alzheimers and wonder if a very low dose of estrogen would benefit her. She does have other medical concerns.
Thank you so very much. You look beautiful and your hair does too. I have to get the shampoo you talked about. :) Have a beautiful day. xo
HI gorgeous, thank you for your thoughtful comment! You are so right, we have to feel we deserve to feel better!!!
I am sorry to hear about you being a caregiver for an Alzheimers patient! That must be very challenging. Can you talk to her doctor about possibly trying some estrogen? You can also call Dr Mathis any time for some advice.
Thank you for your lovely compliment! I do love that shampoo and mask :)
Lots of love to you

In Ireland finding any gp tat eill take you is like gold dust. My gp has ever given hrt before and tells me its only for 5yrs i havent had blood tests there are menopause drs here but very expensive 6month waiting list. Thus time around i was given syntgetic prigesteroe and im really struggling with them day 10 of my 14day cycle taking progesterone ive noticed extreme depression for about a 7 to 10days this month was terrifying and i honestly dot how i am alive this time around things were so bad
Hi Noni, I am so sorry to hear you have had a hard time finding a doctor willing to listen and help. Please do not give up and please talk to your doctor about your depression. As dr Mathis mentioned, synthetic progesterone is not desirable, and hopefully your doctor will listen and change your hormones to work for you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do, and please do not give up. Maybe go on the waiting list for one of the hormone doctors. 6 months will pass in no time, and hopefully you then will find the help you deserve.

Congratulations for your information work with women on such an important subject. You were very lucky to have come across a caring man in Dr. Mathis. Big hugs to you both 💕

Thank you Claudia and Dr Mathis 👍😊 .. An excellent video with all the answers to the questions and doubts that I had for years...No easy also here in London (UK) to find a doctor who will put you on bioidentical hormones and testing every three months..
OMGGGG! This is by far the best video you’ve ever done. I recently talked to my obgyn about cognitive issues I’m having (55 yrs old) and she basically brushed me off. I knew there was a solution!
I am glad this was helpful! And I hope you can find someone who is willing to listen to you and help you. Please keep us posted
Thank You! Claudia. I didn’t see the seven companies that Dr Mathis Mentioned for testing...
HI Cherie, thank you for being here. I am sorry I had forgotten, but the list is now listed in the description box

Wow Claudia, this is eye opening. I really appreciate all your research!
I am glad this was helpful! Wishing you a great day
Wow all the symptoms that I never thought of. The word finding!!! I just started HRT about a month and a half ago. Feeling like someone turned a light on in my head I can't describe it but the HRT is giving me my life back
Hi Kristina, I know exactly what you were talking about, and I’m so happy to hear that you found something that works well for you

Thank you for this great conversation! Very inspiring!!
I see the list of labs for testing in above but do not see the list of 6-7 lab tests he recommends as mentioned in the video.
Would you please link us to that information as well? 💕
Thank u for this in depth discussion on hrt!! 🥰
I’m glad it was helpful, thank you for being here. I have several more videos with Dr Mathis. He might also enjoy.
Good morning 🙋♀️ gorgeous...yes a great subject 3 yrs ago I was tested, and the doctor told me that my testosterone levels were down low and I would be a good candidate for the HRT pellet in my butt...rocking along the first, second week my butt was very, very red and hurting 😔 well guess what I caught staphylococcus from the instrument he used to put the pellet in my butt...wow I felt betrayed by him.
If you can't trust a simple task with a well known doctor then who can you trust...thank you and Dr Mathis for sharing with those who aren't a good candidate...great vlog 🥰
Hi Marlene, I am so happy you are here. And I am so sorry to hear that the insertion of the pellets caused an infection. That is crazy!
How are you doing now? Do you still use the pellets or another form of HRT?
xx
I wish so much that there were doctors everywhere that know about HRT. I've heard over and over that at my age 69 I was not a candidate for HRT. Now I hear Dr. Mathis say it might be possible. I am tired every day, I know some of that is age, but if there is any chance of improvement I would try almost anything. I don't expect to live forever and I know that everything cannot be cured, but it is really hard to figure out what I really can improve by HRT.
I have osteoporosis and I know that HRT could have helped with that years ago. Can it help now I wonder? I take a pill just to keep it from getting worse. That is all they tell me I can do.
Thank you Claudia - if you ever feel like delving further into this knowing what to ask a doctor, who to ask would be a huge help. How did you find Dr. Mathis?
Hi Jess, I am sorry to hear you are struggling and have not been helped! It really makes me mad when we women are being told it is normal to feel tiered and have brittle bones, and I am sorry no one has listened to you and helped you beyond giving you meds for your osteoporosis. I def. think that HRT can help you some with your bones, even now, and that it can help you otherwise as well. It will take a skilled physician, willing to listen and I hope you will find that. Feel free to call Dr Mathis. Depending on where you live, he might be able to treat you, if not he can at least answer your questions and advice you. I have a couple more videos with him on here, which might be helpful as well.
If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all the best and a happy and healthy new year

I believe this Dr. is right on! I was on bioidentical hormones for quite awhile, but kept having sweating issues and sleep deprivation. I switched to Lunesta (sleep) and the pellet. At first the pellet seemed wonderful, as my sex life improved so much. 9 months later, the drive is down and my hair started falling out! I was getting bald spots. After researching it, I found that pellets can cause hair loss. As soon as this treatment is out of my body I will be calling Dr. Mathis and testing. Meantime, I am taking tons of supplements for hair, hair masques and anything else I can think of. I am also slowly weaning myself off of antidepressants. I was not taking them for depression, but rather anxiety and sleep disruptions such as sleep walking and sleep talking. Here is hoping for a better future! Thanks to both of you for this invaluable information.
Susan, I am so sorry you are having to deal with this! I know how exhausting it can be and I hope you will feel better very soon, get some good sleep and your hair will stop falling out. I also hope that Dr Mathis will be able to help you, please keep us posted.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend

I am 46 ,and I feel half dead in the last five years, physically and emotionally . First I was told I had adrenal fatigue, I had to stop to go to the gym ,give up working full time,I could barely walk, I was so exhausted . Two years ago I went to an endocrinologist who said I am at the beginning of perimenopause, that's why I have all these symptoms but I don't need hrt yet. Since that I am up and down a lot. Recently , two of my friends started hrt with very bad state, and they both got back their lives. for one of them, all of her symptoms has dissappeared next day. I tried natural way for while ,it didn't work so I started Evorel patches last week, and I really hope I will come back to life, I am an artist, but I don't have the energy or motivation to paint anymore...
I am so sorry you’re going through this! But I can completely empathize with you, as I’ve been there myself. It took me a long time to find a doctor and treatment that worked for me, but I’m so happy I found it. And you will as well. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, that the pouch will work well for you, but if it doesn’t, please know that there are many other options out there. Do not give up, you will get your life back, you just have to be patient and persistent. If there’s anything I can do, please let me know

Please thank the doctor Claudia. He has opened my eyes. My doctor told me I needed to stop hrt because I had been on it for about 7 years. I have been feeling so miserable in the year I have been without my hormones. I have an appointment in December and I am going to insist that she put me back on it or I will find a doctor who will. Also a question, is testosterone part of hrt or is it just estrogen? Whe. I took testosterone, I have severe thinning in my hair so I stopped that and now do a suppository of a small dose of testosterone to help with my libido. But it has not do e much good. It was suppose to thi Ken the lining of the vagina. Oh what we women go through!
Hi Deb, I am so sorry to hear you are struggling! Yes, please insist your doctor listen to you and help you, or find one who will. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. You can also reach out to Dr Mathis.
As far as Testosterone, I actually asked Dr Mathis this same question not too long ago and he says it is not as important. So in your case, if you do not feel good on it, I would say go without. I think if your estrogen is depleted, there will be no libido. So hopefully you will be able to convince your doctor to put you back on it. It will help everything, including your libido and lining of your vagina.
Please do not give up, and please keep me posted.
Sending a big hug your way

Were you able to get back on hormones??
@@SandandGravelTruth yes but not from my doctor. She refused. She wanted me to get into talk therapy and cut down on caffeine. What a joke. And she is a "menapause specialist" who wrote a book on the topic. I had to go through a hormone clinic out of state and get estradiol through the mail from a compound pharmacy. So many doctors want nothing to do with prescribing hormones.
@@debgilbert3206 I have fibrocystic breast disease and got the all clear 2 weeks ago via MRI. I gave up caffeine and estradiol patch as I want to maintain healthy breasts. I have a few patches left and had to put one on for a few days to help mitigate menopause symptoms. Not sure what I'll do once I run out ????

Good morning Claudia, thank you so much for this one I have not done hormones but have been thinking of it for a while now.

Thank you for the great information. I am in my early seventies, I used HRT twenty years ago and it was great until I developed thrombo-flebitis. I do want to restart estrogen to preserve my cognitive function and prevent Alzheimer but the doctors I talked to refused straight from the start. I'll keep looking, now that I know that I should.
Hi Alexandra, I am glad this was helpful
May I ask what from of HRT you were on before?
If your doctor does not want to work with you, I would definitely try to find one who will
Please let me know if I can help with anything

Thank you so much,Claudia!@@claudiaglows It was pills, divided in three stages, one estrogen, one progesteron and I cannot remember the third one (if there were three and not two). As to recommending a doctor, I live in Bucharest, Romania, so it might be difficult. I appreciate the intention, anyway. Have a good 2024 year!

48 years old now and so tired off being tired 😫 😩, on estradiol patch with progesterone tablets for 14 days out of the mth ,finding the estradiol patch ok but the progesterone tablets is giving me anxiety depression mood swings is this normal
Hi Paula, I am sorry to hear you are struggling. Yes, Progesterone can make some people tiered and depressed. Can you talk to your doctor about maybe trying a different brand/form of progesterone and seeing if that might help?
Excellent!👍👍👍
Thank you so much for being here, Charlene

Coucou belle Claudia et merci pour cet entretien avec Dr MATHIS, que je ne connaissais pas, et qui me parait ouvert d'esprit, un plaisir cet échange que j'ai vraiment apprécié et appris des choses Merci à toi Farah
Salut magnifique, je suis heureux d'apprendre que cela a été utile. Le docteur Mathis est super. J'ai quelques vidéos avec lui sur cette chaîne, il m'a été incroyablement utile.
J'espère que vous allez bien et que vous profitez bien de cet automne pluvieux

@@claudiaglows Mille merci Claudia! Oui je suis à mon travail et il pleut encore! Belle après midi à toi F
Amazing doctor!
I agree! I just uploaded a new video with him this week you might enjoy
What is the website he mentioned to have test done and specifically what test. I've seen sites that are 100s of $$$
Thanks for your concern for helping people. I'm 68 and was on hrt for yrs then went to compound but my internist was not supportive. I needed a Doctor to get the prescription for the compound. (Which I had to pay out of pocket).
My internist said I don't need estrogen. My number was zero.
So I haven't been on anything for a few yrs.
You have spiked my interest and given me hope.
Hi Sandy, I am so sorry to hear you had such an unsupportive doctor. I hope you will be able to find another who will listen and help you.
With a level of zero, I can only imagine how poorly you must feel, and what an arse for saying you do not need estrogen!
I linked all the labs in the description box. As far as what test, I would say def. estrogen and progesterone, but if possible also thyroid.
Then take those numbers to a good doctor, or call Dr Mathis and see if he can help.
Please let me know if I can do anything, and please keep me posted.

Super lovely doctor!!!
Claudia, I have only just found you and my goodness your past story with anorexia literally is identical to mine. I am coing up to 45 in a few months and fortunately my bone density has always been good....I think due to my weight lifting. I have now just found an amazing GP here in the UK who has prescribed me evorel patches, the mini pill with progesterone and a vaginal gel. I have been getting joint and muscle pain, headaches, anxiety...just everything that makes life pretty horrible. I have still got a HUGE fear of weight gain though as I have had so many friends gain a lot of weight when they start HRT. Could you tell me how you dealt with this being a past anorexic? I am so sorry to ask I am just so so scared:(:(
I have binged watched your videos and love them all. Thank you for all you do xxxxx
Hi Meriel, I am so happy you are here! Please do not ever apologise for asking a question, I can completely understand your fear. When I first started using HRT, I saw a women who was not very helpful. She kept prescribing more and more hormones, but they did not work for me. When I told her I would get a second opinion and that I was thinking of using the HRT I have now been using for 15 years, she told me "Good luck with that, you are going to get fat". You can imagine how that freaked me out! But I realised that she obviously had her own issues around food and weight gain and at the time I was so desperate, I did not even care if I gained weight (well, I did of course, but I tried not too). I have been on the same HRT for 15 years now and I have not gained a pound. Once my head was clear again, I realised, that most women struggling with weight after menopause are actually not on HRT and that it is the lack of estrogen that increased belly fat and causes us too lose muscle. It also causes us to have zero energy and motivation to exercise.
So, do not be afraid. If you find the right form of HRT for you, you will get rid of your symptoms and get back to the person you used to be.
Make sure to communicate with your provider, have her test your hormones after a while on the HRT to see how they are doing and do not settle for just feeling a tiny bit better. If what you are on now does not work, try something else. And please know you can always reach out to Dr Mathis for any questions, or to me if I can help with anything. My email is claudiaglows3@gmail.com

I really like this Dr. I heard he has a book coming out. Where can I buy his book? 👍😊
Hi Mullet, the book is not done, but when it is, I will have Dr Mathis back to tell us all about it
God bless you Claudia 🙏 you are truly an angel. I will be 45 next year and my mom had a horrible time during her menopause and I literally know so many women still struggling w menopause w no info or help. This got me researching early so I can also be prepared since I am an older mom. My son needs me to be my best as much as possible. So I thank you deeply for giving us all this life saving info and I will pass it along as well. ❤🙏🥰
HI Darcy, I am so glad to hear this was helpful! I am sorry to hear your mom had a horrible time with Menopause and really hope you will have it much easier

my patch used to come of until professor Eden in Australia told me to clean the area of the patch with a small alcohol swap and since then it doesn't come of no matter what. you can get these swaps from any chemist
That is great advice, thank you Rose!

Claudia ~ what kind of method do you use?
I use the Wiley Protocol.

@@claudiaglows Dr Mathis put me on a patch and a progesterone pill a night. How long before you noticed you started feeling better? I have other issues too, I think (I'm sure they are) my adrenals are off so we are testing for that too. He is a very nice doctor and we are working well together.
@@evaaiken9057 it did take a little while for me as well, since my adrenals and thyroid were off as well. But you are in good hands
thank-you great video and knowledgeable Dr ! Is he taking new patients? i'm a ovarian cancer survivor and well no ovaries and on bioidentical but i feel like my numbers are not right
40 estrogen 18 progesterone

You both are so kind and give me hope. My misery with meno is making think about driving my car over a cliff. I had stage 1b ER+ PR+ IDC breast cancer 4 months ago with surgery & radiation have MTHFR and haven't been right for 10-15 years. --' Can you post the list of recommended labs tests that we should order on Life Extension online? Should we hold our BHRT creams, gel and oral if we are using DHEA pill, Estradiol gel, Testosterone cream, Progesterone pill, vaginal E2 cream? For steady state hormone method , what day should we do the testing?
I am so sorry you are struggling so much. But I can completely understand, I was there and felt like jumping off a cliff. Please know there is hope.
For testing, if you are already on hormones it sounds like you are either not taking the right once or not enough. So I would test while using all of your hormones. I would test estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and if you can also thyroid (free T3) as well as DHEA.
If you are on a steady replacement you can test any day of the months. You can also reach out to Dr Mathis if you need any help. Or if I can help further, please never hesitate to reach out.

I wish I lived near Dr Mathis. I was on bhrt and they took me off because of a thickened endometrium. Had a d and c and it came back as endometrial hyperplasia without atypia but they said the concerning part and why they are refusing to prescribe my patches is papillary metaplasia arising in an endometrial polyp. I am desperate enough to have a hysterectomy to be put back on bhrt. I am so defeated right now.
Hi Holly, I am sorry about your struggles. Please do not give up. Give Dr Mathis a call, and if you are in the US, he will be able to help. If you are outside the US, he can at least guide you. Please let me know if I can help with anything, my email is ClaudiaGlows3@gmail.com
Please know there is hope, it took me several years of struggle to find Dr Mathis and finally start feeling good again

What is the average cost of trans cream for estrogen and progesterone? 50 to 75 dollars a month?
Hi Renee, thank you for being here. That really depends on the country and prescription. Some are covered by insurance, but that also depends on your insurance coverage. So it really is hard to say an average.
He is fabulous
Hi Renee, I think so too!

I have a question I was wondering once you get the levels correct will you lose your hormonal belly since your body shouldn’t hold on to the estrone anymore? Enjoy watching you guys ❤
Hi, theocratically yes. Like you said, once your hormones are balanced, you body should shed the menopausal belly.

Hi I just subscribed to your channel and the info is really great! I have an appointment Fri to get the pellets should I ask my Dr to start with the cream? She did do blood work to check my hormone levels.
Hi Tywander, it is great to have you here. I wrote you back on IG as well, but personally I would ask my doctor for an alternative to the pellets. Dr Mathis really does not like them because he says they are hard to control. Feel free to reach out to him with any questions, his info is in the description box. And please let me know if I can help with anything

Hi Claudia I wanted to know if there was a testosterone cream or patch the doctor uses because I know that the pallets do offer that I seriously need to get on the hormones I’ve been postmenopausal for six years and I’m feeling very terrible I appreciate your answer and does the doctor take phone calls so I would love to call him.
Hi Maria, I am sorry to hear you are struggling! Yes, Dr Mathis used a testosterone cream, which I also use. And yes, Dr Mathis takes calls. I linked his information in the description box. Give him a call, and please let me know if there is anything I can do.

What are normal lab levels for parimenopausal? (estrogen, progest, and testosterone)
That is a great question Maria.
In perimenopause, hormones can fluctuate quite a bit. You can have highs and lows alternating. Of course once you’re in menopause, levels will be low.. this would be considered normal, but of course we know that we do not feel good with low levels of a hormones
I was taking Biest cream with progesterone and starting getting cramps. No bleeding, etc. does the doctor talk to people out of state?
Hi, thank you for being here. What state are you in? Dr Mathis can unfortunately not tread you if you are out of a state he is licensed in, unless you see him in person, but he can advice you. I would say call him. He is very easy to talk to and loves to help
Please keep me posted

P.S. did you take the progesterone just for 2 weeks out of the month, or continuous? If counties, that would explain the lack of bleeding
@@claudiaglows I took the progesterone continuous …no bleeding, but bad cramps…pap was normal and size of uterus was normal…I hope the Biest didn’t give me cancer🥲🥲
@@HealthyLife4Me If you take the progesterone continuously, they will not be any bleeding. I only take my own for two weeks out of the month, and once I stop taking it, that is bleeding. You might want to talk to your doctor about it
What do you think of Dr. Ray Peat?
Hi Linda, I am not familiar with Dr Peat but will look him up...
I have been on hormones for the past 30 years. I only take estrogen, was on Premarin and now do estrogel. Has my uterus removed 30 years ago. How long can I stay on HRT
