Wonderful news!!!
I agree completely. My OBGYN prescribed Estrodial cream for my female parts ONLY. I was getting burning and constant urination, along with shrinking. I am even hesitant about using it there. But my Dr. says it's localized and will help me. I have cleared my symptoms with it. But don't like HRT.
Thanks for talking about and sharing this! Absolutely, these fictitious advertising methods ought to be illegal! Remember when there was a thing such as false advertising. Guess it's not illegal if it's on the internet.
Excellent explanation- thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. We are deeply grateful
I did not know that it’s estrogen that slows down bone loss and testosterone will build bone. Learned something new. I thought it was estrogen that builds bone! And yeah for sure lift heavy.
Thank you, I will stop recommending it to friends unless they get bloods tested. Interesting that you say it can make people aggressive as i am horrible when I FORGET to take my DHEA, and I have ZERO tolerance, become grumpy and rash ,! (Totally against my usual placid character, i am known by friends to usually be the most tolerant person they know!) 25 mg daily is perfect for me. (Prescribed by my Hormone doctor, based on blood tests , where all my hormones were so low they were almost 0 ! ) I have super low blood pressure, so if it increases that that would be fantastic, but after 3 years on DHEA I still suffer low BP. DHEA not help sex drive, but testogel has worked a treat, and is helping with building muscle, I put a small amount on my skin daily. OK now I need to research melatonin, incase I need that too.
Thank you very much for your time, as you clear up all of the crazy we are told out on net and unfortunately from the doctors as well. So frustrating, so thank you again for all you do!
Hi , I'm being prescribed DHEA 25 mg . I had a total hysterectomy back in 1998. I was on Premarin high doses for about 10 years now I haven't had any kind of hormone replacement for 25 years. I'm only 50 years old they are giving me W-Biest 50/50 cream right now through Winonna. I didn't ask for DHEA and my levels have never been tested . I haven't taken it yet because I was frightened because I'm on high doses of Prednisone and I read that they can counteract each other does any of this make sense to you
How do I receive notification when you will be going Live? I rarely catch you Live.
It's fascinating that there are individuals who have x,x chromosomes, and, appear a perfectly healthy male. This is called x,x male syndrome or De LaChappelle syndrome. It happens when a single gene from the fathers Y chromosome is copied onto one of the two x chromosomes. People born this condition may identify as either male or female, because the gendered anatomy of the brain do not develop at the same time as the gonads, and both are sensitive to the hormonal environment present at the time they develop. Occasionally, that environment differs from what usually occurs. So, a persons gender is not chosen, it's set before birth just as the external anatomy is. I have learned not to use any gendered terms around any strangers, because you just don’t know how they identify, and the chances of making them feel unhappy are large if you get things wrong. There are so many other terms that can be used to convey your gratitude and respect for another human without gendering them.
Gratitude 🤲 Your Way.
Another great, informative video. Thanks Dr. Tassone!
Hello. My husband is 64 and, if possible, would you suggest an MD on UA-cam that would be trustworthy to watch for men? Thank you in advance.
I just love listening to you. You are so knowledgeable but keep things so real. I appreciate your teaching style!
I am a well informed RN, 72 years old and still working at the bedside. Medicare doesn’t pay for the Climara Pro patches I had used since menopause. In desperation, I ran to a local nurse practitioner to get the estrogen/testosterone pellet implants with oral micronized progesterone. I made it through two implant cycles with a brand new rapid onset of atrial arrhythmia that looked a lot like a heart block. Heart blocks are bad because all of a sudden your atrial pacemaker just quits working & the bottom half of your heart takes over. then you get to go to the emergency room and maybe the morgue after that. Who knew that we have estrogen receptors in our heart and the endothelial tissue that lines our blood vessels? Four months after my last implant, I’m mostly in a normal sinus rhythm with occasional runs of premature atrial contractions. Atrial fibrillation may be in my future now because that part of my heart has been sensitized. I agree with the speaker. You were just lucky, so far.
Arkansas next please!! Your book has been helpful for me!
Ive had a full hysterectomy 10 yrs ago and ovaries removed 2 yrs ago. No one would prescribe HRT was told I was too old at 63 and I was given the standard vaginal cream which does nothing but burn even more. Finally found a Dr to prescribe 1mg Sandrena gel. but sadly that Dr moved state and my regular GP thinks I should go off it...sigh..its a battle everytime I need a repeat script.. Thank you for your channel, I will try Julva , wish you were in Australia..
Thank you from Australia
Thank you for doing this live. I always learn something new.
Got that right n the laundry 🧺 😂
Can testosterone make a Woman not lose weight even on Mounjaro 10mg. ? Your laundry answer was Funny 😁 the book? Are you licensed in Oregon?
I’m so thankful for this channel. Ethics should be important. The beauty industry is disgusting.
I use Musely and have been using the Anti=Ageing cream for several months and I like it and have seen improvement in my skin. I’ve also bought the estrogen boost and plan to keep using them both. I’m also an esthetician and know a lot about skin care…
@@Krissie833 anecdotal evidence doesn’t support use
If you looked at a recent study on metformin and those who exercise compared to a placebo and what it does to VO2 max you may be shocked. I think I'll stick to berberine.
I am 73 yrs old……I take 200 mg. Progesterone pill each night……& some days I rub compounded progesterone cream in the morning…….is that too much or just see when I do blood work in a couple weeks?
Just ordered the book. If my Dr does not help, i will be calling your office.
I am a 65 yr old female, nearly 6 years carnivore and in the best health if my life, healing many disorders. HS-CRP under 1, fasting insulin is 3, BP 100/ 60, high HDL low TG, AST/ALT in the low 20's and low teens, I could go on detailing my excellent labs (which I order myself). I see no docs, I take no pharma or supplements. Every disease you mention is associated with insulin resistance due to carb consumption. Nothing to do with genetics. I will never have another scan or mammogram again.
There are men, there are women, and there exists a small percentage of genetic anomalies...period. Oh, and there are a whole lot of confused people who have been successfully programmed by authorities who live on the dark side.
An agenda is being pushed... And it's false. Science is clear on this. Men can't have babies ~ ever. Grey zones need their own olympics and sports division. Otherwise, it's abuse plain and simple 👍🏻 I think some people have a mental disconnect to their physical gender and need psychological help to accept their it. All these additional terms are mental and should be dealt with that way. Some of the medical terms are appropriate but when it comes to all of these terms... See a therapist to help you accept that you are what you were born with. I know girls who hated being a girl for years... boys as well, all for social reasons. And over time, they got through the emotional & psychological challenges that they were troubled with, specifically during pubescence. Those persons born trans, they are the ones that we need to include in respectful ways such as their own changing room, sports division,ect NOT inclusive like allowing them on the women's boxing team to beat a woman up (that's ultimately what it is).
Have you ever noticed even in men’s boxing, there are divisions from featherweight to heavyweight, so that the fights are fair based on size?
This is out of control. Made up words forced onto society by a small percentage.
Sorry I’m not going along with this nonsense. I’m tired of going into the women’s bathroom and finding men in there. So now I have to explain to my little granddaughter why there is a man in the ladies room, (who may even have autogynephilia). She can’t understand these things. Now, he is free to FEEL how he wants to feel. However, his feelings should not dictate how the rest of us need to behave. We women fought long and hard to get where we are today. So now, we are being pressured into feeling uncomfortable in what is our space and guilty for it. All because some man is confused and uncomfortable in his own skin. That’s on him sorry to say. Doctor, I’m also sorry that young man at Starbucks took offense to your saying, “man”. It’s commonly still used in speech, (I say it too), but he assumed you meant harm. Couldn’t he have at least given you that?
Amen…..
I agree 💯 ! Some of the medical terms sure but when it comes to all these terms... See a therapist to help you accept that you are what you were born with. I know girls who hated being a girl for years... all for environmental/social reasons and finally they got through it just like soooo many others, both boys and girls. Those persons born trans, they are the ones that we need to include in respectful ways such as their own changing room, sports division,ect NOT inclusive like allowing them on the women's boxing team to be at a woman up (that's ultimately what it is).
100% CORRECT!
Twelve years ago my local Y started allowing men in the women’s locker room. There was a man in a wig and skirt who came in at the end of the swim class when the maximum number of women would be naked. The second time, I marched right to the membership office and quit. How is this respectful to women? We need safe spaces. I also take issue with men in women’s sports. If this keeps up women will no longer be in sports at all.
I will make my own “safe” place…..
Thank you for this we need the information.
This video is much needed…Thanks for your thoughts and info.😊
Taking approx 50 mg pregnenolone plus regular HRT has brought my 50-something year old self back to my 20-something year old normal weight. I also do intermittent fasting…skipping breakfast, but don’t watch carbs closely. I do exercise regularly.
Hi Doc! Thanks for all the info ❤
Thank you! I’m a 69 year old woman and am constantly getting ads for products on FB ! I do take supplements that help me feel better such as Omega 3 and magnesium! I listen to and read a lot and understand many companies are after my money too! I talk to my doctors to make a final decision about using anything! Your professional opinion matters to me!
These are difficult times for all of us right now, and we're just trying to get by as best we can. I agree with you that we all need to treat each other with respect. 🙏
So how do I get a face to face consultation.???
Look im 35 and my urologist gave me this, i was on stong meds due to lupis my period come every 2 to 3 months in those i get uti every week. My doctor gave me this no lie after taking it three times a week when im super later my period shows up the next week never fails my bodys also feel less stressed and has helpes witj the uti amd yeast my face my hair is coming back 😢 im happy to stop my ageing i was 30 when this started getting worse so i got this solution and it works on the face
I weigh 145 pounds at 5’6 I’ve been told I’m not eligible for weight loss drugs. I have been fighting the same 10 pounds without much success. Exercise in the morning and evening (cardio) I lift weights 3 times a week. I eat a plant-based diet with a decent amount of protein, but probably could do better. Due to mild colitis, I can’t eat a lot of meat or dairy. However, I felt so much better when I had the 10 pounds off. Since I just turned 50, I’m wondering if I have a hormonal issue and perhaps it’s not related to my lifestyle or trying a weight loss or diet drugs?!
Not that I'm an expert but I would focus on weight training , that's what I'm doing now. Building muscle will help in all aspects.

Hej, where is the weight loss link?
tassonemd.lpages.co/weight-loss-packages/
And can you scribe meds/supplements to Perth Western Australia.
I'd like to add something about 'PMDD'.... All my menstruating life I had very predictable periods & mild PMS. Then, don't remember exactly at what age, maybe late 30s early 40s I turned into a raging bitch. Was able to find a clinic to do hormone testing & found out I had low progesterone. They prescribed a natural P suppository for 2 weeks in the cycle & it was like magic! It lined me out & I was normal again. That awakened me to bio-HRT...
I thought vaginal estrogen in cream does not raise your risk of breast cancer?
I like mine Lower 👍
I have an Estriadol patch and a prescription for it. I'm 65. Had a full hysterectomy at 52. Had my uterus removed at 38. I wore one patch and got cramps so I stopped. My doctor put me on a .025 patch. It actually made a difference in vaginal dryness in 5 days. Im not in a relationship currently but I want to be and want to have sex. I want to put my patch back on but my doctor did not run any tests prior to going on the patch to have any sort of baseline. I live in Maryland and would be happy to call in if you can treat me. If cramps are normal when starting Estriadol, I'll put the patch back on. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you so much for this!
