FDA approval for testosterone for women! NOW! Shout it ladies!
Yes, medical insurance pays for testosterone pellets or shots for men, but nothing but compounded skin cream for women and out of pocket cost. Misogyny.
Testosterone is the highest level sex hormone prior to menopause in women. Yet somehow, when women go to low T, it's considered normal!
I've been using bioidentical hormones including testosterone for about 15 years doc just has to call it in
Our beautiful Suzanne Somers❤ wrote a number of books before most women understood the benefits of testosterone & women’s hormones.
Not having a sex drive is extremely important to a marriage, etc.! Marriages have ended because of the effects of a woman having no testosterone.
Thank you for all the information. The trickiest part I’ve found is finding an affordable dr who is knowledgeable. I’m doing lots of research, trying to get information, but all the dr’s who deal with this are part of wellness clinics. They want either memberships or just a lot of $. It’s very frustrating!
Thank you both Dr Susan Hardwick and Dominique Sachse for talking about this hormone, hrt is normal for men, but now we know women need it too. And, like anything we need to know how much and regulation is important. As a man I love learning about a woman's body, understanding it better and knowing what's good for my woman. Keep doing informative podcasts!
I just started hrt 2 months ago after a hysterectomy 8 yrs ago . I have to use a compounding pharmacy which is $195 a mo. Wow it's expensive but I am finally building muscles and feel amazing. Thank you for this video so many of us didn't even know this was possible but I love it ❤
So glad you started and are willing and able to pay for it!! Awesome!!!! 😊
Mines only $85 in California
My tst is 56 for 3 months...
195 for all 3, 3mnt supply is about right
It's a travesty that women need to pay for hormones after being put into surgical or medical menopause 😢xx
It is absolutely unfair that insurance companies will not pay for hormonal pellets for women.😖
If insurance doesn’t pay for BHRT, then women in menopause should have access to early retirement. It’s wrong to expect women to work for 15 years, when they are not fully functional. Especially when the food supply and environment has been contaminated adding to the challenges of menopause. BHRT is cost prohibitive for most women.
@@goldensun73What you just said is absolutely brilliant. This whole subject area is a major passion for me, given I feel like a whole new person with HRT and without it, I would have gone down a dark path of feeling older than my years, having tons of joint aches, brain fog, low energy, no sex drive, you know, basically going toward death, and all this right when I need to start making money as a widower who needs to stay alive and continue to be productive for myself and for my adult daughter who needs my help. I'm in college again now at the age of almost 59. I'm getting all A's this semester but only after taking HRT! My grade point average is probably higher than it would have been. Actually, I probably wouldn't even have registered for school again if it wasn't for HRT.
Anyways, your insight was perfect.I'm going to add it to my list because I really feel like i'm going to be an advocate on this in some way. If there's any issue in the world that I can be passionate about.This is the issue, the number one issue for me.
In Canada I believe we pay for hormone treatments for Trans… not for women oh 🇨🇦.
@@hadijakalyegira4107Unbelievable!! Actually, it IS believable. 🤨
Also a crime… insurance will not pay for a *baseline bone density test (until after age 60-ish!) for peri and menopausal women. Such an important benchmark entering this phase of life.
I was declined testosterone with my insurance company even though the Doctor gave me a prescription. I have surgical menopause and it is clear this has impacted me beyond hot flashes and libido. If our bodies produce it and need it, why are we denied?
What can I do? How can we protest this? I feel so lost and hopeless. This is life and death and people do not realize how important this is.
Take the prescription to a good compounding pharmacy. Insurance doesn't cover it for women anywhere. I pay around $50 a month for testosterone cream. I use it most days but it isn't a huge thing if I forget for a few days. I definitely have more muscle definition and strength (but very feminine physique), I don't have very much abdominal fat, and my labs are great. You may need to call around and make sure they aren't charging you too much.
The only thing you can do is just pay for it. My doctor doesn't accept my insurance but I love him, so I pay.
I agree with the two previous comments. If it is truly a matter of life and death, how much is your life worth to you? Don’t give the insurance company the power to make the final decision for you. It may mean you have to cut expenses in other areas in order to afford the prescription. Make your health your top priority! You are worth it 💖
@@imaniwilson1848 thank you so much for these encouraging words 💕
@@pkstieverhow do you find testosterone cream and what brand?
Excellent interview. FYI - I have listened to a doctor who is very outspoken and pro hormones for woman - including testosterone, BUT very against Pellets.
love your videos! thank you!
Thank you both! I wished we talked about DHEA.
Great, informative, information
Thank you for this. Dr Susan, please let us know when you are licensed in Calif.
Great informational video on HRT for women! So very thankful for physicians focusing on women's hormone replacement! One big question for me is do you see a big flucuation with the patch vs the oral estradiol?
What a great interview.
Excellent, informative video. Thank you both!
The FDA doesn’t care about humanity. I have no faith in the FDA, at all.
Great info. My daughters have encouraged me to opt for HRT. They use Rowe Casa. As an educator I greatly appreciate the discussion that is going on with these podcasts. Thank you so much for taking the time to inform us.
Thank you for the super informative video 👏
This came at the right time I have an appointment this Friday with my Bio Dr I’ currently take estrogen and progesterone I’ve been bleeding off and on it’s frustrating dialing in on what’s the right amount. I’m going to talk to him about adding Testosterone he has mentioned it in the past I turned it down I have muscle pain and weakness I’m hoping the Testosterone will help since I may have to lower the Estradiol dose to prevent bleeding. Im 55 I’m still on the journey of finding the right dose to feel better.
I'd like to hear more about potential side effects for testosterone in the same detail that the risks of estrogen have been covered. I wanted take testosterone as part of my HRT, and my doctor said that my heart/stroke risk would increase on testosterone and she recommended against it. (She does prescribe it for women who she considers low risk for heart/stroke problems for low libido, so she isn't against it in every case.) It's so hard to know what is the right decision., and I don't feel I know enough about the risks.
In this regard we're talking about replacing what has been there your whole life and there's no increased risk in blood clot or stroke with estrogen - a lot of that information is old and people are misinformed. I have lots of videos about that and each woman can make her own choice, but when we're replacing what was there before the risks are negligible and the benefits are very high -the key is to get the dose correct
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I have to find a way to AFFORD this treatment and pave a way for my 3 young women so we don't have to suffer, scramble or break the bank
Warmest regards Jennie
Thank you for this informative video. Are spironolactone and testosterone mutually exclusive? Wondering if it’s possible to achieve benefit from testosterone like muscle gain and libido yet still take spironolactone and inhibit hirsutism, acne …
I would love to hear about SHGB and HRT , particularly when someone is taking thyroid replacement which raises SHGB. Does testosterone replacement lower SHGB?
What is your take on Oxandrolone (Anavar) for women?
Great video! Most informative! I've been on the testosterone pellet for 2 years and feel great. Positive results all the way around.
What kind of results? I hear pellets aren't the best vehicle to get it. I had a complete hysterectomy and was on Estriadiol until my doctor thought I was past all the "symptoms". I don't agree.
Thank you Dominique and Dr. Susan for asking and answering these very important questions regarding testosterone for women. I had a very similar experience with my OB GYN in San Francisco that specializes in HRT. My doctor prescibed estradiol and progesterone but absolutely REFUSED to discuss prescribing testosterone. When I asked specific questions about losing muscle mass and sexual desire she shrugged her shoulders and told me that was just part of being an aging woman. I found a Naturopath on the Biote website in SF that specializes in HRT pellets. Testerone was absolutely the missing 1/3 piece of the puzzle for me.
And OMG! OMG! OMG! There is going to an option in CA to get treatment from Dr. Susan's office?? I screamed out loud when Dr. Susan dropped that nugget!
A misogynistic female doctor or an extremely medically illiterate one. Find a new OB GYN.
Thoughts on the theory ( evidence based also) that its estrogen that determines libido? And that the effects on it from testosterone is mainly due to test turning into estrogen?
Pellets in my area are approx. $600. Every 3 months. Rediculous. I use an E patch and progesterone cap. 3 mo. Supply - $94. ( i have no prescription plan so i use Good rx)
Dr. Susan, Any comments on starting Testosterone pellets at 70 years. Benefits vs. cons. Thank you.
That's a very personal decision. I'd be happy to see you and discuss it.
I've been on the BIO- T pellet 3.5 years. Recently my test showed testosterone was high. Could this be the cause of the non alcoholic fatti liver, gallstones, kidney stones? And a cyst on the liver?
My testosterone is very low…I do think testosterone replacement would be beneficial added in to ,y treatments…that said I’ve been recently dealing with hair loss related to low hormones, and genetics…androgenetic alopecia…since testosterone converts to DHT which attacks the hair follicle in this type of hair loss I’m scared to take the testosterone…and I know other people who have this same concern…do you have any advice for this…or would you consider a show dedicated to hair loss, especially the hair loss related to hormones and genetics…so many people suffer with this…thank you so much🙏💕😊
I used to suffer from hair loss caused by high DHT., I started washing my scalp with sulfate shampoo and my hair doesn't fall out anymore. My favorite shampoos are Pantene Volume, Suave Daily Clarifying, and V05 Volume and Daily. DHT can build up on your scalp and causes hair loss. The trick to combatting this is keeping your scalp clean. I'll use a deep conditioner to add back moisture. Btw, those shampoos are NOT bad for you. My hair is thick and full now and all my hair grew back.
Great video, so informative, Thank You!!! So optimal levels for Testosterone are 50 - 100. What should be the optimal level for Estradiol? I know Progesterone 200mg pill is perfect. My Testosterone and Estradiol levels in the beginning were too high and I did have swelling of the breast, very uncomfortable. Had some bleeding too. Trying to adjust at the right levels. I'm on the pellets for Testosterone and Estradiol and I think the calculator was used.
There's no correct number for everybody but Estradiol in my opinion is usually Best somewhere around 40 to 80
@drsusan I'm on a patch that goes by mg/per day. How do I convert that. .075 mg per day. Patch is 2x per week. I believe it is on the "standard," higher side, but what do I know, lol. That's just from Googling, which can be dangerous.
Any downsides, medication interactions, with taking enough T to raise libido? What’s a number for a good T level?
Adding testosterone pellets normalized my thyroid blood work levels and eliminated symptoms of tiredness, feeling cold. I still take my thyroid hormone medication, but i probably should have been on a higher dose of it - now it’s not needed and blood work shows it too.
I have a serious lack of tolerance for BS when I’m not on my T pellet. I know it’s time for another pellet when I get overly annoyed with E V E R Y T H I N G 😏
And my husband gets on my nerves, is SO annoying, and not at all attractive when my testosterone is low! I love that I have a quick fix and reminder that this magic cream will make me find him sexy, attractive, and interesting! Without it, my marriage would definitely suffer. If he runs out of his T, SAME problems but he gets angry too. Easy fix for him too, so we stay in love much easier! (There are so many more reasons we take it, but this one is a huge one.)
Funny, I thought it was just me. Thank you for sharing
Thank you, Ladies for sharing your experiences.
What about Twi gel 1.62%. I dont hear you mentioning this. My Dr prescribed this for me, but im planning on discontinuing due to acne break out. She told me to rub one pump on the vagina. Not sure I want to continue thou due to the acne breakout plus the package states not to be used by women. Would you recommend or prescribe the gel for your patients?
How do we get our doc to give optimal versus low lowest dose ? Also how will we know our testosterone level is optimal ?
Great question. Some say titrate til symptoms are gone even if this means going over the highest recommended dose of Estradiol. It’s only the highest recommended because that’s all they have bothered to study, not bc it’s bad to go higher.
Please talk about POST MENOPAUSE AND MENOPAUSE APRON BELLY
That has to do with loss of estrogen. Our bodies attempt to make it by producing more belly fat. Our body composition is changing to so any fat we gain will likely go to the belly.
I love Dominique and started getting bioidentical pellets after I saw a UA-cam video when she got them, but they don’t seem to be life-changing for me. I know that Dominique stopped getting them after a point, I’m wondering what alternatives or other options there are?
I’m scheduled for my seventh pellet next week, but I’m going to stop them.
Testosterone injections 💉 micro dose is Key cheaper too 😮
Yes please Dominique wouid love to know what alternate as here in uk pellets no longer available
Thank
Creams for est n test are better to use . You can control dose . Progresterone use pills. Pelletd arent goood bc u csnt control them
I am not Dominque but, I am a woman on low doese T for 18 months now. I prefer bio-identical hormone creams for all my hormone replacements. The creams make it super easy to adjust the dose if needed without having to get a whole new script. Also, I find my body just prefers the bio-identical hormone creams.
We are all different though and what works for me may not work for you.
There will be constant tweaking that will need to be done to find the sweet soot for your body. It is worth it though.
When did she say that she stopped taking Testosterone? Please tell us? Did she stop if because of side effects and what were they? Thanks!
Suggestion: I found my hormone doc after 4 doctors that didn’t want to know by asking my pharmacist for a list of doctors that prescribe HRT.
That’s a good idea !
I needed this. My insurance will cover me to see a Menopause Specialist but she is booked a year in advance. My endocrinologist stopped my HRT when she felt my symptoms were gone, but belly fat and muscle loss are huge life changes for me. I want to pursue this but I've heard Testosterone pellets aren't good. I prefer a cream. I also need my strength and ambition back. It really hit me in the past 5 years, and I'm 65. I used to be a runner but a terrible knee injury in 2014 and cannot run at all. Walking hurts but i don't really want a knee replacement yet. I do want my hormones back. I'm not married but wouldn't mind but lack of libido and belly fat prevent me from pursuing a relationship. I'm attractive other than the huge staple marks down my leg from having plates put in, then having them removed. If I want to see someone before a year, where is the best place to go? Oh, I had a full hysterectomy at 51. I was first put on Premarin then Estriadiol patches.
@latherandlace First, why don't you get the names and phone numbers for all of the gynecologists within reasonable driving distance of you and start calling them all and say you need a new gynecologist and you are post menopause and need a new obgyn for pap smears, breast exams, mammo referrals, and then after that just kind of say and also I need to get on a good bioidentical hormone. Pause, and then see what they say. If they're like, "oh we don't do that" or something, then you scratch that Dr off of your list and move on to the next one, but I would call them all first. See who takes your insurance obviously and then after that, ask them those questions because there are gynecologists out there that will put you on BHRT.. mine does. I know i'm very fortunate that my doctor's educated and she herself is on bioidentical hormones!
Also, my Doctor is getting older, so I've been thinking about what I am going to do once she retires. I googled hormone specialist near me, hormone therapy, things like that, and there's a place a town away where they treat not only women but they also treat men. So I guess I'd have to go there, unless I can find another gynecologist who knows about the most recent study, that there's nothing to fear, BHRT is safe, etc., and they're willing to prescribe it to me. And, of course, I could tell them I have already been on the estradiol patch and a progesterone pill and testosterone cream for 5 plus years, for example, and, I could teach my Dr.! I don't know if my insurance will cover that down the road if I end up having to do that but if not, I'll just have to keep working a job so I afford it.
@latherandlace Why did your endocrinologist stop your HRT if your symptoms were gone? That means your HRT was working. I don't understand. 😔
@dig1272 well, she went off the information that was available at that time. I don't know.
@latherandlace, I don’t understand why your endocrinologist would take you off HRT when you we’re doing well. That’s counterintuitive.
I’ve been on HRT pellets (estradiol and testosterone) for years. And I’ll be on HRT forever! I also take bio identical progesterone capsules.
@@Suzette-gb7uj I have no idea.
My gyno just prescribed Estradiol and Progesterone but will not let me try Testosterone despite my numbers being low. My Estradiol is in the normal range with bloodwork so does that mean I shouldn't bother with the Estradiol? I am trying to educate myself with so many resources but this is all so overwhelming!
In my opinion, all three is ideal but if you can get two, that's better than none! There are numerous health benefits from taking estradiol so please don't stop that unless you have a medical reason to do so
If you feel great on your testosterone therapy should you be testing your blood for dihydrotestosterone? I heard that it is the bad type and is the cause for hairloss, etc.
It's interesting that testosterone is recommended to physiological levels but oestradiol isn't. My 'maximum licensed dose' patch puts me nowhere near physiological levels, barely even close to PMS levels. When I felt miserable, sore and moody.
I felt best at ovulation time, when oestrogen was highest, but the likelihood of getting levels replaced to that feelgood, healthy place is presently none.
Is men's testosterone replaced to their former optimum levels, or do they also get only a fraction?
It's good that we can have these essential conversations nowadays, and that we have the option to take hormones at all 😊xx
Test will increase your estradiol as well. Also is good to add some DHEA as precursor.
If your testosterone test comes back at 12 is that considered low with your free testosterone being 0.6 your bio available is 1.2 and your sex binding globulin is 97. I feel like I have the symptoms of someone who has low testosterone, and I would like to try this as part of my HRT. am I in the proper range to request this ? thank you for having a video on about this. It’s very helpful..
This is something that is very personal for each individual so I'd be happy to see you in consultation. You can reach out to my office.
I wish I lived in Texas. It seems that there are more providers I’m looking for someone in my state. Do you still provide consultations , you just can’t provide medication for out of state ?
@@drsusando you provide telemedicine for hormone issues?
you didnt mention about Injection delivery method 🤔
Yes, I don't use it. I don't have any patients who would want to do that and it's not bioidentical so not my preference.
@@drsusanty, so if not pellets, cream is other method of better choice?
T injs isnt bioidentica 🤔. does cream delivery have side effects like Injs
Why did Dominique stop HRT?
Testosterone for women is not controversial, getting it in the vehicle of a pellet is what is controversial.
I wish I was true, but we're getting there! Plenty of controversy around testosterone of all kinds, but I agree there shouldn't be
I just stopped taking my sublingual testosterone due to heart palpitations and increased hemoglobin levels ( hemochromatosis). Not sure if testosterone is related to these issues? Im staying off until I can find more research
It will increase your hemoglobin and hematocrits.
@@cleanqueen75 All you have to do is donate blood every 2-3 months if your hemoglobin is high. They check your hemoglobin levels first with a finger stick. So you help yourself AND others who desperately need blood. Your yearly bloodwork will tell you if your levels are too high. It is rare for women unless you go to some clinic that isn't reputable. You certainly don't have to stay completely off!
Have you considered therapeutic blood donation?
Having PCOS and having a complete hysterectomy. The testosterone will add to the facial hair caused by the PCOS, correct?
I wish she’d given the optimal E range for women. Appreciate the optimal T range.
This particular video was focused on testosterone. I’m sure there are others where she focuses on estrogen. Maybe she addresses the optimal range there?
There's no particular level for Estradiol since we have much more tolerance to big swings and there are much fewer side effects when it's high or low -but generally around 40 to 80 is a good goal
She mentioned 40-80 for estradiol and 50-100 for testosterone.
@@curiousjojo4life50-100 mg Testosterone?
@@hulasenorita yes, that is correct.
At 64 Testosterone was horrible for me. It cause severe hair loss and terrible acne. Not all of this is good for everyone.
Pellets? Those are sometimes 10+ times the dose to ur body needs so the side effects are dreadful. Topical T cream is a better option for many.
Dominique looked so much prettier with short dark hair…love her though.
💯❤
I both like and dislike the idea of a separate hormone specialist. Would they also be looking at your cholesterol and upping your estrogen to see if that helps lower your LDL (and maybe raise your HDL)?
I have an amazing obgyn who put me on the patch and a progesterone pill two years ago and, who last year, had me get my cholesterol tested (and my vitamin d, which she always does), so she's aware of the hormone influence on cholesterol. But then I have to go to my endocrinologist, my general MD, to get my annual physical and I have to tell him when he fills out the blood panel testing to not put vitamin D or cholesterol because my other doctor already did that (my insurance won't cover being tested for those twice because it's overlap, it's unnecessary) and so then I have those 2 doctors giving each other their lab results. I think it's sort of irritates my M.D. in that regard. I get this feeling like he feels that my gynecologist and I are overstepping his part, like now there's not much for him to do. It's very awkward. I mean, I really do like my MD, but It's getting weird.
It should be them working together to do what's best for their PATIENT.
I'm really hoping to avoid statins, if I can get on the optimal HRT doses. I hope it goes well for you 🤗xx
@@anne-louisegoldie I just watched this today about cholesterol, artery plaques, etc., was super informative. Do not pay attention to the thumbnail. Saying I quit sugar. That's not really what it's all about. Although that is something that Doctor did do for himself, but it's very informative. ua-cam.com/users/liveODcqzqirZAk?si=i_4sm3t82lXrULPn
@@anne-louisegoldie It never occurred to me to have my doctors talking to each other.I don't think that they would, to be honest, unless they had to.
Testosterone has never been offered to me by my doctor.
I pay over $600 every 3 months for the pellet in California.
I was going to say, I looked into the pellet (not covered by insurance) and taking estrogen and then testosterone gel (the gel is not covered) and was still expensive. Why do guys get viagra and we have to pay to have a libdo?
My T went over 250 in 3 months from a level of 14. ( with a pellet) Severe hair loss, big pores, too aggressive. Did not like it it all.
What dosage in mg was your pellet
Oh wow that’s why I never got near those pellets! Compounded topical T cream is the way to go (for me at least!). $35 monthly.
My testosterone level is 27. If the ideal number of testosterone is 50-100, then that explains why I have zero sex drive. I'll order some compounded testosterone cream from my doctor.
Is testosterone prescribed by a doctor for a man safe for women in a much lower dose?
In cream is better. From small doses (1 drop).
Shouldn’t all women request to have their T tested at the prime f their youth? My best T level might be different than what a doctor might want to maintain for me. I want my own optimal level, not some average
My testosterone level was 898 I was taking injections twice a week (.015 .020) now I take .07 to 06
wow that is high. how old are you?
that is mg?
is 30mg T injs every 2 weeks too much? post menopausal??
You have not mentioned injections. Is that an option ?
Why are we even talking about transgender. That topic would not even been mentioned 5 years ago. It’s about 2 percent of people.
They barely mentioned it. Would it bother you as much if a podcast mentioned that redheads need more anesthetics than the rest of the population? The percentage is the same.
Because it was relevant and there is no reason not to talk about it.
Why are people allowed to use it to transition where women who need it for every day function in our life are treated in this fashion
@@southernsass7624 I suspect it’s bc the majority of researchers and medical personnel are male and have not invested time or money into menopause/women’s issues.
Trans are actually less than 2%. Just happens to be the cool thing now.😜
Will adding testosterone cause facial hair in women? That is what I would worry about.
I agree. I take the compounded cream. My husband also took the injections until he found out that he was diagnosed with secondary polycythemia so his hematologist won’t let him take it. Now he feels like crap!
If you keep it low, you won't have any problems.
Use a 2% Tst cream, and start with 5mg a day. (1 click from a topi click )
The rule is, woman need 10 times less then a man, DON'T BREAK THAT RULE!
@@cleanqueen75 Your husband should try to get 20% T cream or use your cream but more of it.
@@CatamaranChannel testosterone will raise his hematocrits and hemoglobin. Therefore, he has to get a phlebotomy about every 6 weeks or so even now not using it. He is advised not to take it and he doesn’t want to risk his health.
@@cleanqueen75 He has to do hes own research on youtube, i'm not a doctor. Taking bio identical testosterone can be step in the right direction, is one thing that i know.
When doing a podcast PLEASE let her talk without the noise of “umm hmm’s, yep’s and other noisy grunts”. Stay quiet for respect of the speaker!
Respectfully, if her hmmm's and grunts annoy you, then you might be progesterone deficient and estrogen dominant.
Dr. Susan. Watch your video. You ramble on and don't get to the question asked. Video could have been cut in half and been more enjoyable.
That's not very nice! I hope you are successful with your own UA-cam channel.! ❤ I welcome kind, considerate comments and I hope you have a lovely day
omg how rude!!
Not really interested in your so-called "humble opinion". You DO KEEP telling everyone what level of T they should use! However, you have not indicated the facts for danger in higher levels of T. The issue is, what dose removes ALL symptoms? I can tell you that I cannot orgasm with the level of testosterone you're suggesting. Pellets are always at much higher levels to achieve higher libido, muscle mass, bone density, mood leveling, and orgasm.
We don't have any studies regarding safety of high levels of testosterone for women so my main concern is safety and physiological levels are what have been studied to be helpful but each person can make their own choice. There is plenty of experience with super high testosterone in the transgender community and in the bodybuilding community and it's not all good news so I prefer to stay in physiological levels, but each woman can choose for herself.
Hormone levels need to be tested in the woman before, and after recommended pellet hormone levels have been inserted. Then again to see the actual hormone levels in the individual woman and adjusted if any side affects.
We are NOT transgenders here. We are normal individual women. I have not seen nor heard of any evidence of mascularization due to testosterone, so that's a false flag issue. It's totally different hormone levels to achieve mascularization. That is not an issue under normal female HRT.

@@wendylpatrue
The hate towards men from this woman is completely uncalled for and unnecessary. I checked out and at 10 mins and won’t follow this channel anymore. You should choose your guest wisely.
Hmmm, I think you did not take context into consideration regarding what she has shared. She was just sharing the fact that men have been studied more than women by large in the medical field. She called it sexist and in this context it is. She is not spreading hate of men. Context is extremely important.
I encourage you to listen again.
I am a traditional woman and I pay attention to that kind of stuff. There is no ill intent toward men from her. She even says that it is good that men have benefitted from the studies and get treated with T because it is important for them too.
I appreciate your concern regarding the hating on men because there is way too much of that BS going on these days.
Where is the hate? I’m confused. She is just speaking facts.
