So sorry to hear this. Studies have shown that only 20% of OB-GYNs in the U.S. feel adequately trained to guide their patients through menopause, and only 6% of women seeking treatment for menopause are actually getting it! This is exactly why we started Alloy.

Criminal!

Dr Casperson is so clear and straight forward. I get everything she explains.

I went to 9 different doctors who told me I can’t have estrogen because my mother had breast cancer. She also smoked for 2 decades. Nobody asked about the smoking.

Patient here… I use Alloy’s M4 estrogen face cream and my skin appears to be younger, less fine lines and better moisturized. I also use their vaginal and oral estradiol & progesterone and I am feeling better than I have in years. I personally recommend them.

I was sexually abused and vibrators were used during this time. I have issues/blockage with toys now. It's even difficult to talk about this still, 45 years later.

Lots of great information! Just a little disappointed that you didn’t talk about bioidentical hormones. I am much more comfortable with the idea of using a product that is identical molecularly to what my body makes naturally. I use bioidentical estriol cream (which is the weakest form of natural estrogen) on my vaginal area and have had great success in improving the condition of the tissues. I am hoping to go on a systemic bioidentical estradiol topical for improving bone loss soon.

Thank you! Noted, that could be a great topic for a future webinar! At Alloy, a priority is that the hormones in our products are bioidentical - meaning that they are molecularly identical to the hormones our bodies naturally produce. These hormones tend to be made from plant-based forms - ours are made from yams!😊

Dr Casperson where are you based? Do you do consultations online and supply the hormones and do you monitor bloods and smear tests and mammograms and and health screenings you deem necessary? Thank you both for your very educational podcast.

There was dementia on both sides of my family. I went on hormone replacement in my 50's thinking it would give me protection and the clinic where I went gave me vaginal estrogen and no systemic estrogen. The clinic had been informed as to my concerns and that I also had osteoarthritis. I am now 71 years old and just found out by listening to Dr.Casperson that my brain has not been receiving any estrogen and nor have my joints. Is it too late for me to start on a patch and if it is not too late then is the patch preferable over a pill? I have not had any blood clots and if there is no sound research that can link cancer with hormone replacement (cancer on both sides of family) then could it be something that might still benefit me? I would like to confront them but would like more knowledge before doing so.

Question - I have heard from other Doctors that taking estrogen increases fibroid growth. Is that true for vaginal estrogen?

Hi! In menopause, the use of menopausal hormone therapy does not cause fibroids to enlarge, appear or regrow. A history of fibroids prior to menopause is not a contraindication to hormone therapy.

There is a black box warning on all estradiol’s because of that old study that has been disproven. Hormones can feed some cancers but don’t cause cancer.

Hi, great question! At Alloy, we treat based on symptoms. The latest guidelines from The Menopause Society and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) do not recommend blood work or hormone testing because every woman's "optimal" level is different, and your hormone levels can fluctuate so drastically day to day (actually even hour to hour).

“Risk” is old news. Oh my gosh.

Why is vaginal estrogen in such low dose is so powerful over a year equivalent to ONE HRT pill dose systemic ? Drs in Australia need to LISTEN to you. We are pathetic here. Very sad.
