You are truly a professional. Some of the younger ones in this space aren’t able to communicate a neutral bias on hormones. They lack maturity and do more gas lighting. Thank you for your wisdom. You are beautiful too.
I use rendered bone marrow on my face and body. I rotate with other oils, such as olive (real stuff, not with canola or other seeds oils!), jojoba, castor. I stopped eating all plants (other than coffee) and thrive on animal based foods only. My skin has actually improved, including ability to tan without burning. Best thing for the body is to minimize plants high in oxalic acid (oxalates).
At 73 I just passed a kidney stone. Yes, it's as bad as child birth. Everything I read says stay away from oxalates, high is spinach. I love spinach but, haven't eaten it since. I can't image eating carnivore. I do not like the texture.
Ladies here's a very helpful tip.. Drink Beef bone broth (organic/no sugar type). I add Beef Gelitin Powder + butter. Here is what I dring DAILY. 3 servings of Beef broth 8 ounces each Each Serving has 2 scoops or + 1 tbs of butter per serving... lightly warmed up. I also do a Beef Broth Fast occationally (Once every couple of weeks) with the same recipe, but then I consume about 8 to 9 servings through out the day. Jam packed with nutrients and natural collegen. I do suppliment every day with Multi spectrum collegen powder: It has types I, II, III, IV & V... You really do want a multi spectrum collegen product!
You’re right! I do that as well when I have no time to make my own. I buy guaranteed organic grass fed but I season it w organic veggies and instead of butter, I use ghee. Not correcting you 🤗 just sharing 🙌
I started transdermal estrodial about 2 months ago…both my husband and my daughter said I looked younger and less wrinkles…I need to get some cream now. By the way, your hands look great!
Great presentation but you also had fillers, botox, etc. The nasolabial fold can't be completely filled so the bit near the nose looks deeper, especially since the cheeks also have fillers. The upper lip filler is all over the place. The face loses its individuality, character and balance. Weird here in Europe but I understand this passes for "natural" in US.
@@lisabafundo4355hello, you,mentioned that you use estradiol every day on face? What about the vagina? Will that overdose if you use there twice weekly and then on the face every day? Also, is that the estradiol cream with parabens that doctor mentioned? Thanks
She says compounded Estriol will not grow the lining of the uterus. Estriol works on Beta. She does not recommend vaginal estradiol on face , the commercial products have methylparabens in them as required by law. Did you all catch that at the end?
It’s not just about how skin looks, it’s also how skin feels. Expensive generic moisturisers don’t give comfort at all. Why is vaginal cream with parabeens? okay for the sensitive vagina but not the face? I don’t get it.
I think Doctor was saying use a compounding pharmacy for your estrodial cream for face & vagina. I have to stick with the pharmacy cream which is $0 copay because compounding is too expensive.
@@annierichards7367i know your comment was 10 days ago, but I hope you can answer - do you use the straight Estradiol vaginal cream on your face? If so, do you use any other facial moisturizer with it? I gotta stick to a zero copay also if it'll get good results😂 I already have the prescription Estradiol cream.
I know from many, many years ago when I was in perimenopause my doctor sent me to a compound pharmacist (brick & motar) and it was hella expensive. I mean in the $400 per month area. Of course, I had to walk away. I was going to ask my doctor for vaginal cream (but not tell him what I was going to do with it) but to put it on my face, but you said don't do that. I'm so confused although you explained it well...I'm still lost. 🤔 What am I missing? I'm in my 60's and noticed everything you said around 55. So I'm missing a lot of estrogen. I went through the hot flashes, nightsweats, (in Texaa) all by my lonesome, but my skin...when I see young people on youtube saying they're 45, etc, I think to myself, "I looked good at that age too", but woke up a few years ago and said, what in the world happened. You're a doctor I can trust, but I really still, after all this, don't know what to do. Help!!!!

No one talks about the best hormone there is the mother of all hormones: Pregnenolone. I quit all HRT years ago and never look back after being a lab rabbit for too long either disastrous results. And I look so young. Ladies do yourself a favor and look at this amazing no side effect hormone. Best wishes!!
I was struck by your comment could you would you mind sharing what happened with Estrella or estradiol you said the results were disastrous and I'm a little concerned and I'm curious
Yes! I started having elevated liver enzymes and GB issues for the first time in my life a few months after starting HRT. Maybe a coincidence but I’d love to know for sure
Hi, I love listening to you... Thank you for all your wonderful content. Question. How and when do you use Progesterone on you face? Daily? Night time? I am using Estriol on my face but wondering about adding Progesterone too. Thank you!
As consumers we cannot ‘work with a compounding pharmacy’ without a prescription (or 2 or 3). Where to find a physician who will prescribe this way is the difficult part!
Suduko biostimulator is used in Europe to have young looking skin. It's supposed to be the BEST collagen and elastin for the skin but not available in the USA.
It’s difficult enough for most of us to get hormones for menopause symptoms how are we suppose to convince a doctor to prescribe hormones for the face? I’m in Canada.
The Dr needs to be a specialist in Bio Identical Hormones. Most regular physicians don’t work with these and very few are covered by insurance Plus regular bloodwork from a lab is a requirement with my own doctor who offers this. I’m in California, it cud be different in other places?
I had to fight to cry and argue with my doctor to convince my symptoms were hormonal. She wanted to give me muscles relaxant meds. She thougjt it is stress. Mind you i am in perimenaupase. She sent me to gynecologist and he asked lots of questions and marked on paper and prescribed estradiol and progesterone pills. Do not give up.
Most doctors (even primary care) prescribe generic bio-identical Estradiol cream like it’s an antibiotic, (or choose any over-prescribed Rx). In other words tell your doc you are complaining of either itching-say due to dryness, or painful sex, or you’re starting to have urinary incontinence, ie, when sneezing. I did originally have an issue with a few of the above and I still request it for the same thing. Doc doesn’t know I’m am now using it on my face. Don’t bother asking for an Rx for the face because most insurances aren’t going to cover for aesthetics reasons like wrinkles, obvi.
Can you tell me the compounding pharmacy that you use.Please tell me the dose of the facial estradiol or estriol and progesterone combo . Thanks for your generosity for sharing your secret . You look great and your hands look fabulous.❤️
I'm in the UK. When I've looked up estradiol, I can only find products which say estrogen and I also saw that there seems to be different types of estradiol. Do you know where I can find the correct type please?
Yes it's the one thing I adamantly disagree with him on. I would be a complete disaster without my bioidentical hormones. I think the male doctors and scientists have looked at too much research using the pharmaceutical version of hormones. The wild yam cream components are very supportive . It totally saved my brain skin bones body literally everything!
I use 2 mg daily. Apparently a new study showed that estradiol via mall, compounded of course bioidentical of course had better results than the topical cream. I have a sluggish liver, use coffee enemas Etc so I've experimented with both types. I periodically take a break from the oral estradiol capsules and just use vaginal cream
Hi there… Ok so I’m an anomaly then cos I’m testosterone dominant… I have sky high levels of the stuff hahah at 56 I’m post menopausal for 7 yrs now… I’m not on HRT but I did use a local HRT for a little bit but I didn’t like the fact that this can bring back the monthlies… uh uh nah… no thanks… why any sane woman would want them back again… I dunno… not me though… I eat well and I have simplified my life… this has done wonders for my overall health… I prefer to age naturally… eat a cleanish diet… sleep / rest etc etc… is all vitally important… I find that stress is one of the biggest contributors for premature aging of skin yeh that and a crap diet / doing way too many skin procedures ie fillers / fat injections / too much lotions creams and potions etc etc blah blah blah… I do none of these stupid silly things… I have unusually elastic skin for my age… and I’m so fortunate to have this naturally… I came from good stock - my mama was a just wash and go kinda lady and she had zero wrinkles all the way to her 85th birthday… and so I’ve adopted this same ethos… keep it simple stupid (no not you my dear) I’m just saying that’s how I like to do things… Things really don’t need to be so complicated… Just saying… Thanks for this enlightenment Ms G Ciao ;)’
Responding only for the edification of all those following this topic, your grandma and perhaps even yourself have maybe been very lucky to have access to a clean diet, my mom also Garden until she physically couldn't anymore in her eighties and this definitely keeps your skin looking vibrant. However with all the retroviruses we are exposed to nowadays and thousands of other toxins, we cannot live the simplest of Life of our ancestors and age beautifully. All the xenoestrogens cause havoc in our body blocking the receptor docking sites for our own natural estrogens it takes a concerted effort to get all those out of your body and then detox them with broccoli sprouts, Dim, i3C, calcium d-glucorate, etc. American women are heavily toxic with fake xeno-estrogens. My hormones crashed like crazy in my early forties due to a relationship stress. Hormones, only bioidentical, have been a Saving grace for me to maintain brain function, bone function, skin moistness, and help moderate the inflammation of my various other diseases. Don't assume we all have such a healthy upbringing and good genetics, I was given High mercury, and cadmium levels (parent chain smoker) and lead levels from my upbringing, thank you parents! Your comment sounded so judgmental, I just had to chime in. Oh, and I've been eating super clean for 35 yrs just to have a normal life and avoid hard core Rx's.
Also, a knowledgeable hormone dr should be able to have you avoid periods by keeping the Progesterone levels pretty high. I get spotting maybe every 6 mo.

@@homeopathywellness1719 Phew.. wow that was a whole lot you had to say there buddy… thanks for your reply all the same… I’m like you as in I e eaten clean for many moons now.. I tried local HRT and this is the kind of replacement where you do not need progesterone but to be honest with you I didn’t like it at all… my GP suggested it as so to balance out my high testosterone levels but I found I don’t need this to be balanced out because I like being high in this hormone and not in oestrogen like most modern women seem to be… I take no HRT.. as I prefer to not dabble in pharmaceuticals thank you.. many women who take the oral form of HRT know not what they’re doing because all they’re doing is delaying their change… as soon as they come off it then all their original symptoms will return because HRT does not stop the menopause it just pushes its timeline back somewhat… I feel proud to say that at 56 I am on zero medications - I have my vitals checked twice yearly and I’m ecstatic to know that I’m proper textbook healthy & I feel so darn amazingly great… Nuff Said ;)’ Good Evening to you !!
@@homeopathywellness1719 Oh dear bud… spotting is never a good sign so you should definitely get that checked on… I mean I’ve been 7 years post menopause and I’ve never spotted before then nor now… yeh I think HRT does more harm than good to us lady folk and most of the symptoms one faces while going through the change is very much dietary related… you just gotta radically change the way you eat / drink as soon as you start the perimenopause then you must follow this through til you make the changes to your diet a permanent one.. A diet high in sugar / salt / dairy & wheat will most certainly prolong menopause symptoms make you feel worse… plus.. never underestimate the power of you… we can do anything once we put our great minds and lovable hearts into it… I’ll say !! I wish you well my friend - thanks for your reply it’s most appreciated Ciao ;)’
I finally get the Estradiol vaginal cream from my gynecologist, but to use on my face! Pea size twice a week to start, and them pea size increasing amount of days. It is so much cheaper than compounding with the same results.
I love the way you explained about these hormones. My question is : Can I apply both Estrogen Estradiol and Estriol at the same time in my face? Thank you for your help ❤Thank you
I rubbed estrogen on my thighs when I hit menopause and it gave me cellulite! I stopped immediately and changed to patches. It took a while but cellulite cleared and my skin recovered. Never again will I use estrogen creams on my skin. There is a reason women get cellulite and men don't .. duh! This is just my experience, and I ve never had cellulite before! I am not convinced at all that estrogen is good for the skin.
I am a doctor and my mother is 90 . Too many symptoms of course of lack of Estrogen . I was very concern and I want her to have better health so I sent her 2 Estradiol patches 0.25 mg , did I do good or I can cause more harm. She had hysterectomy she does not need progesterone.pmease advice.
So if I already have been prescribed compounded bio-identical estrogen, can I apply it to face and intravaginally instead of on inner arms? Or do that some days of the week and the other days to inner arms?
Does this help if you’re 10 years Post Menopausal? It was never suggested to me that HRT’s would help or be beneficial with menopausal symptoms 😢. I suffered many years due to this, and still do. However, I just started the Estradiol vaginal cream, Estradiol patch and the Progesterone. I’m 61 years old and praying for positive affects. Any feedback would be GREAT. Thank you!
Depends on the strength of your patch (among other things). Most doctors will just give you enough to relieve symptoms. I’ve learned to interview my providers to see where they stand, whether they are in the dark ages and following the dictates of the WHI study, if they even know about it. I ended up paying out of pocket to see Dr. Gersh’s PA. I don’t have time to waste trying to educate the doctors and NPs in my insurance network.
@@j.j.l.I started on .25 estridol transdermal with MIDI health prescribing. I have an integrated health doc who is prescribing .5, now. She indicates .5 as optimal dose for women. I had zero estrogen prior to starting HRT and am concerned .5 won’t be enough since it has reduced but not eliminated symptoms. Are you willing to share your estridol dosage? Do you also take progesterone and what dosage? Does Dr Gersh’s PA meet virtually? I’m interested in having someone who treats me as an individual vs a study of other women. Thank you!
Dr. Gersh.. here is an example of a topical Estrogen cream from an online source... are the ingrediants effective enough? Key ingredients include: Estriol 0.3% Vitamin C 1% Hyaluronic Acid 0.5% Aloe
Yep that's exactly what the bioidentical hormones are typically made from and yes they can work great on the face. If compounded they are probably safe for intra labial and vaginal as well.
So, if you are going to ask your physician to prescribe you an estradiol cream, then what is the dosage of estradiol,? Most don't know about its use for the face?
So can I continue to take my prescription Estradiol gel from the brand Estogen and put a compounded estradiol from a compounded pharmacy for my wrinkles? What is better absorbed the gel or cream for the face? Thank you:)
Based on various UA-cam videos, that shouldn't matter. Advocate for yourself if your test results show you are low. Maybe ask if you could try it on a trial basis? I bought Ona's Progesterone cream to try and it's definitely helping me with sleep and I'm way past 10 years from my last period. So now I have an appointment to try oral progesterone.
No it is not too late. A recent study confirmed that BHRT is beneficial at all stages of a woman's life. My practitioner has a patient that is over 80 and is doing great on hormone replacement.
Hello Doctor, I have a high level of estrogens and progesteron in my blood. I always had a beautiful skin, even because I don't smoke nor drink alcohol or use drugs. However now, out of a sudden, it's like I aged of 10 years in one. I can't hide I'm desperate. What should I do? I'm in my 40s and I have my period. I also struggle losing weight, I have a big belly ( I'm 160 cm for 62kg now, I'm healthy and good only between 50 and 54 kg). Thanks
Try Dim and Calcium- D -Glucarate. These help rid the body of excess bad estrogen. When I began taking these about seven years ago I lost weight. I have been on HRT around 10 years.
@@rhondaowens837 I am taking VitD3 already, and yes, sometimes when I take it I lose weight:). I never heard of DIM before, so now I am doing some reasearch. Thank You, if I am not allergic to anything in it, I will definitely give it a try!
Studies please. Musely Came out with a study that shows Estradiol cream works barely better than placebo for women not on HRT. So if you’re on HRT, is it even worth it. I don’t disagree with all the benefits of estradiol that are outlined here, But that still doesn’t prove that applying it to your skin works.
Sorry its MyAlloy that did the study. The way they talk about the results is misleading because it’s all about improvement compared to placebo for women not on HRT. I would like to see improvement compared to other skin products and also in women on HRT. You can find the study by going to the MyAlloy site.
I am on HRT, and I started using the M4 cream by Alloy. I have only been using it for about two months, and I can tell you that I am already seeing a difference! I can’t speak for anybody else, but I can’t say that it has worked for me. (The M4 cream is estriol combined with aloe and hyaluronic acid.)
Please provide a link with the research papers on estradiol on skin cancer. Also on increasing wound healing. I would like to take to my next dermatology appointment
Hi Dr Gersh. What are your thoughts on taking Flax seeds (ground) while on systemic Estrogen? I’ve read to avoid flax while taking HRT because it’s a phytoestrogen. I’m confused ?
I have a very low libido and asked my doctor if my testosterone hormone was low and what any tests he prescribed me Estradiol and said that this hormone will be transform in testosterone when I use in my skin. Not sure if this is the case?
My advice: get a new doctor. My previous doctor had said the same, so I found another who was more updated. My testosterone was 0, and I had absolutely no libido.I believe you should have it replaced too, you'll feel better.
Anybody have a recommendation of a compounded cream I can request? My GYN said she has never ordered it before and doesn’t feel comfortable but if I go to her with a specific request I might be able to twist her arm (😏). PS-I’m 2 years post meno and after 4 docs she finally “allowed” me HRT…why is this so freaking hard?!
I'm wondering if you could ask her to compound an Rx similar to the Estrace Vaginal Cream/Estradiol Vagina Cream 0.01% compounded without the paraben? So a compounded RX with 0.01% Estradiol in a non Comedogenic or allergy free base. Some people get extra ingredients added like Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or a peptide base.
I'm 79 and I was using hormone replacement for quite a while until there was a scare about it possibly causing heart attacks. Do you not remember that? At that point I stopped taking them and I wish I had not. Then I began to use topical but they were extremely expensive for me. Can you please address this? Younger women did not experience this and many women who did are no longer with us. I am pretty strong and healthy and do not need any pharmaceutical medicines. I treat myself, usually, with herbal remedies if I get sick (which is rare) I have recently begun to use topical hormones again as they are no longer so costly. Curious what you think. I am healthy and active and do not have to take any pharmeceutical drugs so far.
My doctor prescribes Estradiol 0.01% for vaginal health. It helps prevent our vaginas from turning into Cheeto which will cause atrophy hense painful sex. Lubricants can't help this issue
Dr. Gersh I’m on oral & vaginal estradiol & progesterone and use Alloys M4 and my face is now really oily and I get mild acne. Does HRT increase acne? I understand testosterone would but the female hormones too?
Hi Dr Gersh-nice video. I just got a script for estriol .3% to use on my face. I forgot to ask my Dr this question. I already use Tretinoin .1%. Will estriol make a difference if you are already on Tret? Thank you
I’m perimenpausal but getting more symptoms . I just started estrodial patches .0375 mg. Is that probably good or too low dose? Thanks for any insights
Dr. Gersh thank you for the great information you provide us with. But could you make a video on the alternatives to oral progesterone. My Gyno doctor prescribed estrogen patch and the micronized progesterone oral form 100 mg, but it caused severe gallbladder pain. I also have mild degree of NASH. Falling apart lol! My hepatologist advised against oral progesterone he recommended it transdermally. The gyno doctor wants to prescribe a compounded cream, but I feel uneasy with this as it is not standardized or FDA approved, possible not protecting me from uterine cancer. I have found the Combipatch but not sure how much protection it provides against uterine cancer. I am stuck!! Help!!
Please do a video on iud's. My gyn is pushing one on me because i continue to bleed on my estridiol patches in perimenopause. Prometrium doesn't work even at 200 mg. All tests are always clear and no problems
my dr switched me to either 200 mg compounded, says prometrium is produced in china and they are not micronizing it like it should be or 400 mg of the prometrium, both works, one is expensive but the other makes me retain water
I agree . I tried the Alloy product and all it did was increase my melasma now I’m using regular estradiol vaginal cream on my face and so far so good.
@@tammiestarks6464 I did yes, and if the FDA approves the product for use in the vagina, I’m ok with it on my face. Dermatologist Dr Ellen Gendler of NY has used vaginal estradiol on her face for 15 years and recommends it to her patients for more youthful skin. If you don’t want to use it, don’t. But I’ll do me.
Thanks Dr. Gersh, I learn so much from you! I’ve been using 10mg bi-est cream for hormone supplementation. After watching your video on bi-est, I’m switching over to a 2mg estradiol cream. Is it safe for me to use either of those on my face?
Your aware this is from the urine of a baby mare? I have heard that some women still use it but as a general rule it is no longer offered as menopause treatment.
What’s the difference between a compounding pharmacy and a regular pharmacy? I have estradiol cream prescribed by my doctor to use vaginally which I have been using on my face, is this the type that has parabens or do you mean the type you buy from the drugstore has parabens? I’m a little confused 🤷♀️
I read that castor oil applied to the skin helps with rosacea. I have just started using it on my face for that, and feel the skin is softer and slightly less redness. I also use it on my eye area.
@nancyinthegarden3160 I'm already using it by itself, and it hasn't given me a rash so far. I realise that others may have a different reaction though.
I would put the estrogel gel under the Shea butter right next to your skin then apply the Shea butter on top because the Shea butter is going to be a barrier that is hard to get through. It is occlusive and anhydrous. My thought is it would definitely interfere with any absorption of EstroGel or any estrogen cream.
When to use estriol and when to use prog 10:55 esterone? I have both on hand. I am going to use estriol in the morning and progesterone at night. Don’t want them to compete the receptor sites
You are truly a professional. Some of the younger ones in this space aren’t able to communicate a neutral bias on hormones. They lack maturity and do more gas lighting. Thank you for your wisdom. You are beautiful too.

I THINK MAYBE IS BECAUSE OF THE TYPE TGE GAVE YOU. THEY USED ON ME BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES AND HAD NO SIDE EFFECTS.
@@JuliePeterson-12345 I hope you stopped the HRT. Death would be a hell of a trade off for young looking skin.
Hi, I love listening to you... Thank you for all your wonderful content. Question. How and when do you use Progesterone on you face? Daily? Night time? I am using Estriol on my face but wondering about adding Progesterone too. Thank you!
Ona's now has a skin serum that contains progesterone. I use the estradiol and progesterone from them.
I am TRULY blessed to have found you.! How can I get some compounded. How would I ask?
As consumers we cannot ‘work with a compounding pharmacy’ without a prescription (or 2 or 3). Where to find a physician who will prescribe this way is the difficult part!
Find a clinic that treats with Bio dynamic Hormone Replacement Therapy. I went to one in Sydney, Australia a few years ago.
On the Reddit meno forum, ladies mentioned an online hormone Dr service that prescribes.
Incredible information sharing, can't thank you enough for this life saving work...and thank you for sharing your lil secrets 😊
Younger looking skin is not life saving.
Suduko biostimulator is used in Europe to have young looking skin. It's supposed to be the BEST collagen and elastin for the skin but not available in the USA.
I used estradial cream on my eye area fir about 6mths not sure wrinkles improved but think it helped discolouration
It’s difficult enough for most of us to get hormones for menopause symptoms how are we suppose to convince a doctor to prescribe hormones for the face? I’m in Canada.
The Dr needs to be a specialist in Bio Identical Hormones. Most regular physicians don’t work with these and very few are covered by insurance
Plus regular bloodwork from a lab is a requirement with my own doctor who offers this. I’m in California, it cud be different in other places?
I had to fight to cry and argue with my doctor to convince my symptoms were hormonal. She wanted to give me muscles relaxant meds. She thougjt it is stress. Mind you i am in perimenaupase.
She sent me to gynecologist and he asked lots of questions and marked on paper and prescribed estradiol and progesterone pills.
Do not give up.
Most doctors (even primary care) prescribe generic bio-identical Estradiol cream like it’s an antibiotic, (or choose any over-prescribed Rx). In other words tell your doc you are complaining of either itching-say due to dryness, or painful sex, or you’re starting to have urinary incontinence, ie, when sneezing. I did originally have an issue with a few of the above and I still request it for the same thing. Doc doesn’t know I’m am now using it on my face. Don’t bother asking for an Rx for the face because most insurances aren’t going to cover for aesthetics reasons like wrinkles, obvi.

Huge thanks for this information 🙏🏻 I learn so much! 🙏🏻
Absolutely love your podcasts ❤. My Auntie, sister and I all started HRT. Can I use estradiol gel on my face?
She said not much (of estradiol) is absorbed on the face since the skin has beta cells which does better with estriol.
I'm in the UK. When I've looked up estradiol, I can only find products which say estrogen and I also saw that there seems to be different types of estradiol. Do you know where I can find the correct type please?
How much estridiol does perimenopause need? I saw you in a previous video with someone and you stated very low. Can you help us with what that means ?
You should have an interview with Dr. Mercola because he ADAMANTLY is against using estrogen because he says it causes cancer.
Yes it's the one thing I adamantly disagree with him on. I would be a complete disaster without my bioidentical hormones. I think the male doctors and scientists have looked at too much research using the pharmaceutical version of hormones. The wild yam cream components are very supportive . It totally saved my brain skin bones body literally everything!
Please tell me your opinion on Estradiol 1mg by mouth once daily? I heard its hard on your liver? Started at age 65. ❤
Do not use oral Estradiol it’s a fact that it causes gallstones. DIM is a supplement that I would ask to doctor when using this along with this.
topical cream is much better and bypasses the liver.
I use 2 mg daily. Apparently a new study showed that estradiol via mall, compounded of course bioidentical of course had better results than the topical cream. I have a sluggish liver, use coffee enemas Etc so I've experimented with both types. I periodically take a break from the oral estradiol capsules and just use vaginal cream
Hi there…
Ok so I’m an anomaly then cos I’m testosterone dominant… I have sky high levels of the stuff hahah at 56 I’m post menopausal for 7 yrs now… I’m not on HRT but I did use a local HRT for a little bit but I didn’t like the fact that this can bring back the monthlies… uh uh nah… no thanks… why any sane woman would want them back again… I dunno… not me though… I eat well and I have simplified my life… this has done wonders for my overall health…
I prefer to age naturally… eat a cleanish diet… sleep / rest etc etc… is all vitally important… I find that stress is one of the biggest contributors for premature aging of skin yeh that and a crap diet / doing way too many skin procedures ie fillers / fat injections / too much lotions creams and potions etc etc blah blah blah… I do none of these stupid silly things…
I have unusually elastic skin for my age… and I’m so fortunate to have this naturally… I came from good stock - my mama was a just wash and go kinda lady and she had zero wrinkles all the way to her 85th birthday… and so I’ve adopted this same ethos… keep it simple stupid (no not you my dear) I’m just saying that’s how I like to do things…
Things really don’t need to be so complicated…
Just saying…
Thanks for this enlightenment Ms G

Responding only for the edification of all those following this topic, your grandma and perhaps even yourself have maybe been very lucky to have access to a clean diet, my mom also Garden until she physically couldn't anymore in her eighties and this definitely keeps your skin looking vibrant. However with all the retroviruses we are exposed to nowadays and thousands of other toxins, we cannot live the simplest of Life of our ancestors and age beautifully. All the xenoestrogens cause havoc in our body blocking the receptor docking sites for our own natural estrogens it takes a concerted effort to get all those out of your body and then detox them with broccoli sprouts, Dim, i3C, calcium d-glucorate, etc. American women are heavily toxic with fake xeno-estrogens. My hormones crashed like crazy in my early forties due to a relationship stress. Hormones, only bioidentical, have been a Saving grace for me to maintain brain function, bone function, skin moistness, and help moderate the inflammation of my various other diseases. Don't assume we all have such a healthy upbringing and good genetics, I was given High mercury, and cadmium levels (parent chain smoker) and lead levels from my upbringing, thank you parents! Your comment sounded so judgmental, I just had to chime in. Oh, and I've been eating super clean for 35 yrs just to have a normal life and avoid hard core Rx's.
Also, a knowledgeable hormone dr should be able to have you avoid periods by keeping the Progesterone levels pretty high. I get spotting maybe every 6 mo.

@@homeopathywellness1719 Phew.. wow that was a whole lot you had to say there buddy… thanks for your reply all the same… I’m like you as in I e eaten clean for many moons now.. I tried local HRT and this is the kind of replacement where you do not need progesterone but to be honest with you I didn’t like it at all… my GP suggested it as so to balance out my high testosterone levels but I found I don’t need this to be balanced out because I like being high in this hormone and not in oestrogen like most modern women seem to be… I take no HRT.. as I prefer to not dabble in pharmaceuticals thank you.. many women who take the oral form of HRT know not what they’re doing because all they’re doing is delaying their change… as soon as they come off it then all their original symptoms will return because HRT does not stop the menopause it just pushes its timeline back somewhat… I feel proud to say that at 56 I am on zero medications - I have my vitals checked twice yearly and I’m ecstatic to know that I’m proper textbook healthy & I feel so darn amazingly great… Nuff Said ;)’
Good Evening to you !!
@@homeopathywellness1719 Oh dear bud… spotting is never a good sign so you should definitely get that checked on… I mean I’ve been 7 years post menopause and I’ve never spotted before then nor now… yeh I think HRT does more harm than good to us lady folk and most of the symptoms one faces while going through the change is very much dietary related… you just gotta radically change the way you eat / drink as soon as you start the perimenopause then you must follow this through til you make the changes to your diet a permanent one.. A diet high in sugar / salt / dairy & wheat will most certainly prolong menopause symptoms make you feel worse… plus.. never underestimate the power of you… we can do anything once we put our great minds and lovable hearts into it… I’ll say !!

What do you suggest for me as I am a breast cancer survivor
HER2+
Can I have HRT
My oncologist is so against it
Is this due to the 2002 study?
Can I use a small amount of the .1% Estradiol cream I use vaginally on my face too? All the over the counter estrogen cream preparations are Estriol.
I finally get the Estradiol vaginal cream from my gynecologist, but to use on my face! Pea size twice a week to start, and them pea size increasing amount of days. It is so much cheaper than compounding with the same results.
She specifically said, do not use the vaginal cream on your face

What about Wild Yam cream ..does that work?????
Hi can I ask if you have had botox or is it estradiol cream that makes your skin so tight and wrinkle free ?
I rubbed estrogen on my thighs when I hit menopause and it gave me cellulite! I stopped immediately and changed to patches. It took a while but cellulite cleared and my skin recovered. Never again will I use estrogen creams on my skin. There is a reason women get cellulite and men don't .. duh!
This is just my experience, and I ve never had cellulite before! I am not convinced at all that estrogen is good for the skin.
Thank you Dr. Gercsh,your podcast's is so interesting and so informative! Again❤
I am a doctor and my mother is 90 . Too many symptoms of course of lack of Estrogen . I was very concern and I want her to have better health so I sent her 2 Estradiol patches 0.25 mg , did I do good or I can cause more harm. She had hysterectomy she does not need progesterone.pmease advice.
How do we get the proper estrogen cream? How do we get it?
check out Women's Hormone Network, FixAFlash or if you are into DIY look at products at Ona's Natural
So if I already have been prescribed compounded bio-identical estrogen, can I apply it to face and intravaginally instead of on inner arms? Or do that some days of the week and the other days to inner arms?
As she said, just dilute a few drops of it in your topical face cream and spread all over it's perfectly safe that way
Does this help if you’re 10 years Post Menopausal? It was never suggested to me that HRT’s would help or be beneficial with menopausal symptoms 😢. I suffered many years due to this, and still do. However, I just started the Estradiol vaginal cream, Estradiol patch and the Progesterone. I’m 61 years old and praying for positive affects. Any feedback would be GREAT. Thank you!
Depends on the strength of your patch (among other things). Most doctors will just give you enough to relieve symptoms. I’ve learned to interview my providers to see where they stand, whether they are in the dark ages and following the dictates of the WHI study, if they even know about it. I ended up paying out of pocket to see Dr. Gersh’s PA. I don’t have time to waste trying to educate the doctors and NPs in my insurance network.

Do you also take progesterone and what dosage? Does Dr Gersh’s PA meet virtually? I’m interested in having someone who treats me as an individual vs a study of other women. Thank you!

Yep that's exactly what the bioidentical hormones are typically made from and yes they can work great on the face. If compounded they are probably safe for intra labial and vaginal as well.
So, if you are going to ask your physician to prescribe you an estradiol cream, then what is the dosage of estradiol,? Most don't know about its use for the face?
Don’t say you want it for your face. Say you have vaginal dryness and burning and stress incontinence. Need the cream urgently.

I am 11 years past my last period. Is it too late to take hormones? According to my doctor it is.
Based on various UA-cam videos, that shouldn't matter. Advocate for yourself if your test results show you are low. Maybe ask if you could try it on a trial basis? I bought Ona's Progesterone cream to try and it's definitely helping me with sleep and I'm way past 10 years from my last period. So now I have an appointment to try oral progesterone.
No it is not too late. A recent study confirmed that BHRT is beneficial at all stages of a woman's life. My practitioner has a patient that is over 80 and is doing great on hormone replacement.

Studies please. Musely Came out with a study that shows Estradiol cream works barely better than placebo for women not on HRT. So if you’re on HRT, is it even worth it. I don’t disagree with all the benefits of estradiol that are outlined here, But that still doesn’t prove that applying it to your skin works.
Who funded the Musely study?
Sorry its MyAlloy that did the study. The way they talk about the results is misleading because it’s all about improvement compared to placebo for women not on HRT. I would like to see improvement compared to other skin products and also in women on HRT. You can find the study by going to the MyAlloy site.
I am on HRT, and I started using the M4 cream by Alloy. I have only been using it for about two months, and I can tell you that I am already seeing a difference! I can’t speak for anybody else, but I can’t say that it has worked for me. (The M4 cream is estriol combined with aloe and hyaluronic acid.)

Younger women did not experience this and many women who did are no longer with us. I am pretty strong and healthy and do not need any pharmaceutical medicines.

My hepatologist advised against oral progesterone he recommended it transdermally.

I have found the Combipatch but not sure how much protection it provides against uterine cancer. I am stuck!! Help!!
Please do a video on iud's. My gyn is pushing one on me because i continue to bleed on my estridiol patches in perimenopause. Prometrium doesn't work even at 200 mg. All tests are always clear and no problems
my dr switched me to either 200 mg compounded, says prometrium is produced in china and they are not micronizing it like it should be or 400 mg of the prometrium, both works, one is expensive but the other makes me retain water

I would put the estrogel gel under the Shea butter right next to your skin then apply the Shea butter on top because the Shea butter is going to be a barrier that is hard to get through.
