    I had invasive ductal carcinoma stage 2 and reversed it without surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. I am normal weight, don't drink, but I feel there is a huge component to do with unprocessed trauma. I by the way am now back on bi-est after doing a major liver cleanse and clearing out the unprocessed grief of losing 5 important people in my life in the previous five years. It only took 6 months to eliminate the tumor and all my scans for the past 2 years have been clear in both breasts. My new book coming out documents how I did it, naturally. BreastQuake

    Oh my gosh, LOVE this. Perfect timing...I really needed to hear this. I started HRT end of December and am feeling great as well, but do worry about breast cancer risks. I also worry a lot about gaining weight. I feel like I am gaining a few pounds. I definitely crave goodies more, which I haven't for quite some time. I workout daily and do intermittent fasting, which always helped me keep my weight down. I would be lying if I said weight gain doesn't concern me. Thank you so much for sharing all your great information with us! I am so glad I found you ❤️

    I’m so glad I found your videos. Your explanations of WHI statistics is so very helpful to me. I was on hormone therapy (pellets) and got scared off of them because of fears told to me by my gynecologist. Who by the way would not give me HRT. Also, the high cost of pellets didn’t help. My last pellets July 2019. For about a year since I have felt horrible and so days can barely function because of the myriad of symptoms of menopause. I started researching and found NAMS. I am scheduled to see a menopause specialist. FYI, I saw your video about pellets so I seeking HRT in a different medium. Thank you for your work.

    I just was referred to you from a friend who you are currently treating with hormone therapy. I will definitely be calling you Monday . You are a wealth of knowledge and I have a much better understanding of hormone replacement therapy just by your videos. Finally, I feel there is hope for my situation. 💗

    Thanks for all the info Heather! Super helpful! I’m curious on your thoughts and the risks for HRT for someone that is BRCA positive as well as a breast cancer survivor (triple negative). I find so much conflicting information and I’m not sure where to look for good info so I was hoping you had some thoughts.

    On/Gyn here. I think you need to clarify that the breast can ER risk in the WHI was associated with medroxyprogesterone acetate and NOT progesterone progesterone is an extremely useful hormones even if you don’t have a uterus. Sleep, mood, hot flash reduction etc etc. and there is research showing no increased risk of breast cancer. Your comments about progesterone are misleading. You also should clarify that the often quote 1:8 baseline risk for breast cancer is NOT in the general population. It is in women who reach the age of 85. Life time risk. Again, misleading.

    Hi Dr. Hirsch - thank you for this very thorough explanation. I am curious if you will speak about risk of use of HRT in those who have had breast cancer. I found the Swedish 10 year follow up to the 4 yr randomized study, which found there was no increased risk in breast cancer in treatment vs control groups. I'd like to hear your thoughts. Thanks for all of your wonderful work!

    That's so reassuring! I am 43, and just starting to experience the very first signs of perimenopause. I am trying to inform myself as much as possible, as I really want to start combined HRT during the last stages of perimenopause. But I am so pro-HRT, that once I start, I will not want to stop in order get the "secondary" benefits of HRT. I know there is no limit to how long one can take HRT, but studies show that the longer one takes it, especially after 10 years, the higher the risk of breast cancer, right? I would love to hear your thoughts on that... Thank you for this video!

    Wonderful video and I definitely have a couple of friends I must share it with. I want to Thank you for all you share. I’m fairly new to your channel and I recently started taking BiJuva. I’m happy with this so far but have a couple of questions to you because I did not get all the answers from my dr. . I live on Long Island btw. Do you have any videos or can you answer, How do I know if I am getting enough hormones for preventative measures ( not just enough to feel better ) Also the cost is very high for this therapy and I wondered is that because it is more natural ingredients in it? Do you have any videos explaining any of this?

    Now I'm confused 😂. I want to go back on HRT. Thank you so much, this video was so informative. 😊

    Thank you your videos and for advocating that hormone therapy may be ok even if you have a family member who had breast cancer. I know through genetic testing that I should be ok, but sadly so many doctors (even women) just consider it a non-starter. Trying to find a practitioner in Boston area who would not have that viewpoint. Thanks again! 😊
