The transition to menopause has historically lacked comprehensive discussion and is often perceived as an abrupt occurrence without recourse. Our guest today has emerged as a vocal advocate, shedding light on the journey from perimenopause to menopause and providing empowering strategies for women navigating this transformative phase.
Today, on the Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with menopause expert Dr. Mary Claire Haver. Dr. Haver guides us through the myths and misconceptions surrounding perimenopause and menopause. She sheds light on the misguided research and beliefs that contributed to a lack of awareness about this transition for women and the challenges women face during this time. She also shares her top tips for navigating this period, including hormone replacement therapy, supplements, and lifestyle changes. This episode is a must-list for women of any age!
Dr. Mary Claire Haver is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and is a Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist. In 2021 she opened Mary Claire Wellness, a clinic dedicated to caring for the menopausal patient. She developed the best-selling book and program called The Galveston Diet, a three-pronged lifestyle plan that encourages fuel refocusing, intermittent fasting, and anti-inflammatory nutrition to manage hormonal symptoms, stabilize weight, and revitalize the body as it ages to provide benefits that will last a lifetime.
In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Haver dive into:
-Why women are living in poorer health later in life
-Dr. Haver’s journey
-The implications of lack of education about perimenopause and menopause
-Surprising symptoms related to perimenopause

Any complaint after 50 years old i have presented to a dr is met with a blank stare and well yeah thatll happen at your age 🙄
Same here.
I'm 64 and I'm watching my 90 year old mother lay in a hospital bed in a care facility, very frail, wearing diapers, but still has her mind. I'm determined not to become my mom. I know how to take care of my own well being.
I also believe Floride had something to do with it. Hitler put this in the water supply. The chemical is not from natural sources, it is byproduct from the manufacturing of aluminum. The natural Floride from the ground is different. I was on well water under 19. I started seeing changes in my body from the time I lived in the city on municipal water supplies, yet could get a doctor to d out the cause. I am 70 now and filter all my even bath water from Floride and other toxins. I had to do my research for years to find answers to this and other questions. Until I find a functional physician, I will get no answers. Because of my age now , I'm just expendable to the medical profession.
Amen! Godspeed to you and your mother. I’ve taken care of seniors and had a similar epiphany. I’m not going to end up like that, if I can help it.
And hopefully you will make lifestyle changes that will not require the amount of medication that result in people ending up in the situation that your mother is in
The “frozen shoulder” thing as a HUGE lightbulb moment for me…because as a physical therapist we ALWAYS see females with it around the menopause stage of life…now it makes sense!
I was the woman mom wife that had it ALL under control. Went through menopause,divorce and so many changes. I’m 55 and I’m barely making it back and struggling but I will not give up. This IS REAL! The diverse changes on the body,mind.
Same and I’m with you!
Thank you @Daisy-xl4xu!❤️ once you here this it does make you more empathetic towards all woman.
Hormone therapy may help. It made a significant impact on my health. Not to mention I feel amazing.
The education system has failed us too! Children in schools should be taught this boys and girls! Men need to UNDERSTAND that from 30-50 what women go through and to UNDERSTAND our moods we are NOT CRAZY we are LOSING our hormones. I am pretty sure if this happened to men WE WOULD ALL HEAR ABOUT IT! PATRIOTISM IS JUST WRONG!
WE WOMEN THE BIOLOGICAL PRIMARY CARETAKERS DESERVE MORE LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THE ROLES WE PLAY IN THIS WORLD! If it weren’t for us women making babies the human world would just end!
@@felesialong6485, please, would you be so kind to tell what kind of HRT you are on 😊 ?
(I am 54, had hysterectomy last year, and tonight just back from ER because of severe rush that looked like tiger attacked and scratched me - and this is my 3th "visit" to ER this month, previous 2 was because of extreme weakness and tiredness...)
I would really, really appreciate your answer.
Thank you in advance ❤️
My mum got diabetes and then we think had early dementia. Was admitted to hospital with covid and due to her early dementia, this helped them make the decision to ‘help her along her way’ - aged 69!! So basically that hrt study which stopped her going on hrt, effectively could have killed her!! I’ve just started peri menopause and with the family risk of dementia, I’ve started hrt reluctantly. After much research in the past few weeks, I’m 100% confident that it’s the right decision.
I've been told to get "used" to it. This is getting older. Insomnia, sweating, headaches, leg cramps, weight gain, hair loss are only a few symptoms that I still live with 6 years post menopause.
I have been giving my husband his testosterone shot for 3 years now, and have finally come to the realization my own body needs hormones. Praying it is my turn now to feel better and get what I truly need. Thank you Mary Claire. I'm happy I found your channels. God Bless!
I'm a Dr. Haver fangirl! Now that the news is out about HRT being beneficial, I wish our health(sick)care and insurance industries would get onboard. Also, our employers need to start providing menopause workplace benefits by offering reduced-hours schedules, expanded sick leave that could be used for perimenopuase or menopause symptoms, increased or more flexible paid time off, and more opportunities for employees to work from home.
I am a life long oncology, nurse, and recently worked for 2 oncology breast surgeons. When doing intake of new patients I thought I would see a lot of BRCA positive and IVF women. I was very surprised to see more women with history of hormone replacement therapy. There are also women who have a strong family history of breast cancer and our newly diagnosed but our negative for the BRCA gene. As a result of seeing this in real time, I will never have hormone replacement therapy. It was also interesting to know that there are genetic links for breast cancer that we have yet to uncover.
@@ny_njtrailrunnert926 I agree. Since hormone levels naturally change over time, it's ridiculous to tamper with them. Now, some women might need HRT, but it's horrible to just throw medication at large numbers of women ($$$) for a natural process that the body must go through. Menopause is not the body malfunctioning, and we must first emphasizes diet and exercise.
@@Himmiefan I agree.
My HMO insurance does not cover Natural Hormonal Therapy
@@ny_njtrailrunnert926how many had other endocrine issues, like thyroid?
My aha moment was a vicious cycle of esophagitis, palpations, prilosec. Repeat. Awful heartburn, heart palpations, meds. I could NOT GET BETTER. A few weeks on estrogen...heartburn almost completely gone, no palpations! I was losing my mind over feeling like crap. I now attribute this to chronic inflammation, which became worse with menopause. I'm so grateful for Dr. Haver is taking this so seriously.
Thank you Dhru for having this conversation and guest; you are a great host and listener!
My mum's going through menopause right now and she’s personally not interested in HRT unless as a last resort, so we’ve been looking for supplements to help manage some of the symptoms. One thing we’ve found that has helped with symptoms like hot-flashes, joint pain, and weight gain is Tongkat Ali. She’s been on the same standardized hot-water Tongkat Ali root extract that I’ve also been taking for a few months now and she tells me her quality of life has improved a lot, especially for the hot flashes which she says has been the most disruptive symptom for her. I recommended this to her because it’s helped me with my own energy, fatigue, and stress levels, and I’m just so glad it’s helped.
Samer here! My mum is cautious about using non-natural products, so we began exploring Tongkat Ali in early 2018. Through our extensive research, we discovered Akarali - Tongkat Ali. This specific brand has been beneficial for my mother, notably reducing her hot flashes and alleviating her overall fatigue.
@@aliefacmal it’s great stuff, right? I’ve tried traditional versions as a remedy before but these modern extracts have blown me away!
I take Tongkat as well; it's a great product. It is considered Malaysian Ginseng apparently. It is also a testosterone precursor & testosterone booster. Women also become very testosterone deficient when going through menopause and post menopause. It's funny that a lot of the focus is still on Estrogen predominantly, because we actually have a sharp drop in Progesterone. Testosterone.as well as Estradiol from the ovaries when we enter menopause. After that for the rest of our lives, the ovaries have shut down and produce virtually almost zero testosterone, Progesterone & Estradiol. Our fat cells do produce Estrone though (which is a weaker form of Estrogen) but not the best kind to have as it can play a probable role in developing cancers later on if a post menopausal woman is overweight/obese.
Unfortunately for women who don't take hrt they will have decreased lives and alot of problems. Body identical hrt is derived from the yam plant . I suggest you all look into these options first. There are going to be huge risks to heart brain and bone health as she ages. Really sad women don't understand exactly what the consequences are to not taking hrt.
@@aliefacmalyou have the bioidentical hormones. Those are natural hormones, these are the ones I use. Look it up.
I love this. Thank you. I am 75, active, still working part time. I had a total hysterectomy at 40. Have a vaginal prolapse now and was recently placed on estrogen. I was afraid of estrogen due to hearing ....BREAST CANCER. Now I am restarting vaginal estrogen.

You have every right to be afraid and reluctant. your medical profile and health history is different than everyone else’s. Just be sure to do thorough research before accepting a prescription for hormone replacement therapy.
You talk about hormone therapy early on… what about after 65?…. Do you recommend it.., we’re not all peri or beginning stage menopause…
I would like to know this answer to this question too ? I’m 68 and just heard about this channel 👍
Wish this info was around 20 years ago! I went to the top progressive docs here in LA but they were super expensive! Now this info is the gold standard but unless it’s concierge medicine, or ppo, the average doctor still is ghosting! Even the younger doctors overlook anyone over 70! It’s humiliating! So grateful that you are sharing this fantastic info!
My mother took HRT for 10 years and at the age of 62 she died from pancreatic cancer, so alternative treatments is for me , the doctor stated to me it was because of the treatment she was on that caused her cancer , her mother and sister all died from cancer and all took hormones for menopause, so it’s imperative you know your family history.
Luckily for us, the bio identical hormones are made differently now. Not from preg. mare urine. I'm on the estradiol patch and micronized progesterone, same as the Dr.
Could it be that women look after their menfolk to the detriment of their own wellbeing? Then, when their husband/partner dies they are exhausted and then become frail. A good comparison would be do women who have been single all their lives become frail at the end of their lives.
No, it is all one's choice to pay attention to her own health, taking care of one's family is also a driving force to keep learning and thriving.
Wish there was a professional like her in South Africa thst doesn't charge thousands of rands for the first consultation and a series of tests that costba few thousands more only to come back for a second consultant and discuss treatment and HRT that costba few thousand more because most women simple cant afford it or sustain yet. Her diet tips and supplements/lifetstyle tips are valuable. Thanks for brinijg her on as a guest. Menopause is not for sissies and Ive heard of women being suicidal because they could not understand what was happening to the mind, brain, bodies, energy and mental state.
The 50% decreased risk of cardiovascular disease with hormone therapy. Is that relative or absolute risk?
This is so enlightening. Please have Dr. Haver on again, soon, for an update. Thank you both.✔💯💗
Love her and I am so grateful to start taking care of my body. At 50 I felt at a good weight and little problems to a 54 going into full menopause. Well let’s just say I didn’t have it and gained 10 pounds right out of the gate. I do have slightly elevated triglycerides the rest of my blood work is good. We also did a calcium heart test. That was great. At 63 I just keep working at it. I did get your book and cook book.🙏🙏🙏🥰
Be careful because after menopause osteoporosis and heart disease risk increase after menopause.
Thanks for making us more aware of this important topic. You will save many lives today. ❤
I can not express how grateful I am to this Dr. You give us hope! I do have a really important question though- How is hormone therapy bringing down high cholesterol if high cholesterol and other cardiovascular issues are contraindicated for hormone therapy? I am 45 and my dad had 2 heart attacks by 50 and my only brother had bypass surgery at 30. I know there to be a genetic predisposition and I have always had high cholesterol even when I was 110 lbs and was a competitive figure skater. I heard that hormone therapy was one of the best things for this kind of genetic situation. Now I worry if I have some heart disease(which I think it would be hard to find anyone over the age of 50 in American that doesn't have some degree of plague, high cholesterol, etc) than hormone therapy is going to make it worse. How do we know where the line is?
Fantastic interview! Great questions!! Dr. Haver you Rock!!❤
I’m very frustrated because so many doctors I’ve seen don’t take into consideration that many women have other health conditions or disabilities that definitely affect our menopausal health. Im a 52 year old woman who was born with mild cerebral palsy and then, was diagnosed with epilepsy at 15 …within a year after getting my first period. The seizures were complex partial. I had my children when I was 24 and 26. During these couple years my seizures decreased and my children aren’t disabled in any way. As I started perimenopause my seizures increased and changed to simple partial seizures. Now, that I haven’t had a period for over a year my epilepsy has gone from about a dozen seizures down to 5-6 seizures per month. So, menopause is completely different for every single woman. This video was helpful in many ways showing not to treat it as a normal blanket part of health care.
Excellent conversation very much needed
I absolutely dispute
that you can be healthy
with zero estrogen I n the body. Women on aromatase inhibitors are miserable with depression insomnia , brain fog and joint pain and exhaustion.
Agree. The loss of estrogen negatively affects the structure and function of all body organs. The #1 killer of women is heart disease not breast cancer. Loss of estrogen is the #1 reason for heart disease in women, not even considering an increase in Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, and genitourinary issues. We don’t need antidepressants, we need estrogen!
I learned about CornishX chickens as I entered menopause. They are bred to be estrogen sensitive (also white turkeys and some salmon), so if they are fed soy (estrogen), They gain weight extremely fast with less feed. I started using flax seed (also estrogenic) in my smoothies around the same time. I was so hungry and gained weight. Then, I looked at myself and my female relatives. All large breasts and at menopause, they got huge. Turns out, we are estrogen dominant. Then I learned that about 2 years prior to entering menopause, progesterone drops, throwing off the all important estrogen/progesterone balance. So that's why we get even more E dominant. I tried some OTC progesterone cream and felt much better. I learned that any carbs set off my cravings, so I try to stay away,. But just like any addiction, just one dose will set off the cravings again. When I crossed menopause - almost no symptoms. A few mild hot flashes, missed one period, had one heavy one, then never again. That was at 58. Easy, maybe because of my estrogen dominance. Women (and doctors) should know that, if they are estrogen dominant, it's a whole other ball game. And it's about the E/P ratio, not absolute amounts.
I think I’ve heard her say that that’s a catch phrase, used to deny women HRT. If you look at the symptoms of estrogen dominance it’s the same as menopause. It’s a scam. To not treat you.
How do you know the E/P ratio? A lot of menopause docs say that is nearly impossible to track, so I'm curious. Thanks.
@@nishachauhan2343 I took the Dutch hormone test that ran a whole analyis and report on estrogen to progesterone levels. It's a series of urine tests/samples over 2 days or so sampled at various times and food/liquids. It's good for HRT monitoring.
My naturopath said that I am estrogen dominant and started me on DIM but I was getting worse and worse - my sleep disappeared, hot flashes started. Until I did a blood test and found out that my estrogen is very low. So I added HRT with estrogen and mirena coil (because of constant spotting) and everything got better immediately. My energy levels, my sleep, my mood etc. so it's not estrogen dominance, it's the lack of estrogen.
@@Rina-ie2szsounds like you also had progesterone sensitivity

My mom very healthy at 93 not really wrinkling never wear glasses no meds but when the househelp taking her to the bathroom she told her not to hold her she fell on the bathroom she then deteriorated and months she died 🇵🇭🇺🇸
This happens a lot! My grandmother, exact same age, STILL DRIVING, just starting to grow greys, had a fall and hit her head. She also just deteriorated so rapidly .
My mom just turned 100 and I have zero doubt that had she not neurologically lost the ability to walk a couple years ago, she would not be alive. She went thru a very brief phase where she would get half way to wherever she was going and suddenly her brain could not talk to her legs and down she would go. Fortunately she was still quite strong and has the "bones of a dinosaur", as her doctor once said. The challenge is surviving that period when they don't want to accept that they need a wheelchair and/or adult diapers or at least a commode close to them, and preferably on carpet.
Thanks for this. Incredibly important discussion. I've just been onto the Lancet website and am trying to locate the article Dr Haver is referring to but there's a few items there. There is a Menopause 2024 'series'? Grateful for specific direction if possible.
What I’m understanding from this video is that it’s unsafe to start HRT 10 years out from menopause. Also higher rates of cancer.
Not unsafe, just too late for the major benefits in bone, muscle, heart health, brain health, etc.The decline starts as soon as we are estrogen deficient.
Breast cancer is a growing problem. How does a susceptible person deal with this overhanging threat, and still achieve good health after menopause? Thanks so much.
Research Iodine and Dr. David Brownstein
Read Estrogen Matters by Drs. Avrum Bluming and Carol Tavris. It’s very informative. 😊
The #1 killer of women is heart disease, and then Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis. It’s not breast cancer.
Definitely iodine
Thank u very much for this talk, loaded with helpful information for us women, now everything makes sense to me, im 50 & just had total hysterectomy five days ago., HRT is on my mind on my follow up with Obgyne..Again thank you for this wonderful talk.
Women before giving HRT should get genetic test to see if they are estrogen toxic or dominant in this case HRT should be avoided or closely followed
Are you a NAMS certified menopause practitioner or do you just play one on UA-cam?
I was put on estrogen after a hysterectomy, I believe I was estrogen dominant I got breast cancer. If I had to do it again I wouldn't take hormones. I was 59 so was entering menopause. God created our bodies to work and I think making sure you eat well, supplement vitamins that you need and lesson your stress. I had a very stressful job two years before cancer and I ate well, I think stress really screws up your body.
@@br4653 Guess what? Women taking estrogen fair better if/when diagnosed with breast cancer than those who aren’t. I’ve always done self-breast exams & have gotten my annual mammograms so I’m not worried. I entered menopause at 57. I eat healthy, maintain a healthy weight, do weight-bearing as well as aerobic exercise & I take vitamin supplements. Still, at age 58 a Dexa scan showed I have osteopenia. I started HRT/MHT right before my 60th birthday. (I would have started earlier had I known that the benefits far outweigh the risks.) More recent evidence has shown that HRT/MHT is protective against a multitude of health conditions: bone loss, cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, etc. I’ll take my chances.
@@br4653did they not put you on progesterone to balance out the estrogen?! That’s the problem
I just can say THANK YOUUUUU!!!!!! I’m a new woman 🎉
I always suspected the Health Insurance industry is behind the negligence of women, just to save money not paying for treatments. At work they offered additional health insurance to pay for cancer treatments (if you get it) I was shocked that most Health Insurances refuses to pay for some proven treatments. And the Health Ins coverage decisions are made by people with No Medical education. My father broke his leg and laid in the hospital for 2 days waiting for the health Ins approve his surgery. insurance was hoping we would not wait and pay out of pocket for the surgery, but we could not afford it, he worked 35 years all the while paying for health insurance and the one time he needed it, they made him wait suffering for 2 days for surgery. This is New York USA.
Please tell me if women over 60 can begin HRT or is it too late? I have osteoporosis and I want to stable my bone density ie not getting worse.
Where do I find a doctor in North Carolina that does hormone testing and HRT?
I’m in N.C. Too
Dr Willian Haas in Charlotte
Hi, my sister has severe acid reflux. This started out of nowhere at age 54. She literally tried everyrhing, to no avail. Can HRT help? Does anybody have experience with this? Thank you!
I’m 61 and had uterine oblation in 2005. I’m a t2 diabetic and struggle with sleep. Is it too late for me? My mother died of a heart attack at 66.
Never too late. Ask.
I too late!! Find a certified practitioner, like she recommended
This is so informative wow - forwarding to all woman >>
My own brother has passed away. And ive beeb bleeding really bad for four months. My doctor prescribed me HRT medicine, it has helped but there is a heart attack risk and that is what my brother died from. So I can either bleed to death or take the medication that can kill me of a heart attack .
Afe there studies with HRT and autoimmune disorders? Such as scleroderma?
Believing how the mom look like you can tell the future you be look like my mom look younger on her age even the body never heavy just enough and never hard up in life my role model very resourceful smart a positive thinker and funny 🇵🇭🇺🇸
Great video, love Dr Haver. I have a serious question that has been so confusing to me. The Keto/Carnivore groups claim that fiber is NOT necessary (ie Dr Zoe Holcomb, Ken Berry, etc). I’m trying to get more fiber but my gut is in pain, bloated and constipated. Is it really helpful? Thank you!
Yes, those messages are so confusing: you don't need fiber - you need fiber 😅 Internet is a crazy place, we don't know whom we can trust
Makes sure to space it out across the day and follow it with water! And movement to move it along in the gut. Maybe try less, and then gradually increase it.
Try the FODMAP diet. I hate to suggest more food restriction, but there are some veggies that irritate our digestion, and others don't.
This is basically is a low carb/keto diet. No added sugar elements almost all processed foods. Only foods left to eat are fruits and veggies, meat and eggs…. Keto!
Are you taking a good Magnesium at bed time? I found this helped me more than fiber. Fiber sis nothing. Also a liver detox liquid drop.
Hello, I am 46 and I lost an overinflating tube at 13 years old, but I had three children two through in vitro one naturally I was wondering being 46. I’m having bad headaches and I exercise and am taking good care of myself. I do have a lot of stress right now in life, but wanted to know if with missing an ovary and fallopian tube, will I go into menopause earlier or are there things that I need to take Earlier? How will it affect me as I am again getting this weight gain happening that I can’t control and I exercise and run and lift weights and eat well. I’m a nutritionist but yet I can’t control it and then I have bad migraines this year. Thank you around my cycle. Appreciate your help.
FWIW, I had to get a benign cyst removed from my right ovary almost exactly a year ago tomorrow. I did a lot of research to see if I should get my tubes removed bc it dramatically reduces the chances of ovarian cancer but after doing a lot of research, I learned that there is a possibility that my hormones would decline/be compromised by doing this so I chose to keep my tubes (given that I have a reduced risk, don't have family history or blood tests raising any alarm bells for ovarian cancer).
@@bublysoda thank you for your mention or reply, but I already am missing an overflow into from age 13 and I’m 46 now I’m starting to have headaches around my cycles and I’m just trying to find out if there is a bigger difference causing effects because I only have one ovary and somebody would have still both at this age and what I would need to do to supplement and or change it to the needs of my body versus somebody else, hormonally, etc.
I’m 57, soon to be 58. I’ve been in menopause for probably about 12 years. Was thinking to take DIM by Thorne. It’s an estrogen supplement. Thoughts?
DIM is an extract from cruciferous vegetables. It won’t add estrogen to my knowledge, but boron can help
Where can Ifind a good dr in Pa that deals with hormone issues TYIA
I'm having so much joint pain and migraines and I'm taking the HRS therapy but I'm not consistent every day. I'm in my menopause for like 7 years 53. Please help. It steals the joy in my life but I'm trying my best. I'm pushing and I'm on disability because I can't work full-time. I'm in so much pain. Please help
Heavy metal build up in the body also causes menopause,and could be the trigger for many.
This may sou d out there for some of the viewers here but acupuncture has helped me with menopause symptoms.
What about taking estrogen/estradiol patch if you just have 1 small calcified tumor in your brain?
When approaching my doctor at age 50 about my night sweats he seemed baffled. His response was to put me through a battery of tests for worst case scenario. I don’t know if he’s ever heard of menopause even though he’s married and has children. 😂
Having known some of this information, my life may have progressed very differently. Who is to say, divorce, anxiety and depression and other major life challenges could’ve been managed a lot better. Thank you, thank you for this!
Unbelievable that he didn't get think of menopause for the night sweats. ( And you are age 50!?) What was he looking for ? Tuberculosis? Other infectious diseases???
WW? Sad. Not just with older women though. After having a c-section I wasn’t believed - until my gut split open.
Sorry to hear that and I hope you are healing.
No way! Horrible! I had a relative that had back surgery and was in so much pain that the doctors didn’t believe her until she tried to shoot herself. They opened her back up to find that they left a surgical instrument inside of her 🙄
Im just not hearing how to get rid of the visceral belly arm and back fat. Tried everything from keto to fasting to carnivore. Im 64 always been in great shape now so frustrating to lose that 15 extra lbs 😫
The way i lost weight is eat a salad once a day only and nuts and one piece of fruit for dinner. You will lose weight
@@annberlin5811 sad but true. Ive done the one salad a day thing Cant eat much for sure
Me to. I was in great shape then at 64 I got meno belly fat . I can starvr myself and it won't ho away. I exercise like a demon and still meno belly it's like a thing that doesn't belong on my body.
@@user-bf4qz4vd5j ugh ..i will die trying to beat it lol
Intermittent fasting worked for me
What causes early menopause in hormone changes in twenties
Plastics
I went thru this 40 years ago before soft drink were preferably in plastic. Most we're still in glass or aluminum
I had hot flashes so bad in my fertile years. Had 3 healthy babies but burned up and night sweats.
It was horrible. Why is it getting better in perimenopause?
Personally I don't know but I've been reading through the comments above yours and It might be worth reading the one from "pestimom" she seems to have had a similar path they live and puts it down to being oestrogen dominant.
love the ❤
When she said caddywompus ❤😂😊
I hate these forced ads.
Well it is nice talking but didn't specifically address as to who is it HRT) for?
What about metabolic syndrome! Very similar. Does menopause bring this on???
Menopause can be one factor that brings it on due to the estrogen drop.
