Generally great article/info. I appreciate the potential benefits of bioidentical HRT, but I'm also convinced that this sort of artificial, blunt management of a still just partially understood endocrine system comes with its own risks, both known and unknown.

Generally great article/info. I appreciate the potential benefits of bioidentical HRT, but I'm also convinced that this sort of artificial, blunt management of a still just partially understood endocrine system comes with its own risks, both known and unknown. Thankfully, my wife at 64 went through menopause like a breeze, takes no meds, and is in great, glowing health due to a very healthy lifestyle.
Speaking of 64. I'm blown away by the Janice bio. Breast implants are a notorious health disaster for so many women, which would make for a very good topic for future discussion. As a man, I have absolutely no idea what the draw is, other than for women who've had mastectomies (partly due to the butchering approach to healthcare). Janice improved greatly after she began HRT . . . and the removal of a potential source of the same symptoms that the hormones were ostensibly fixing. Viewing her re-implantations as evidence of success is bizarre. A healthy, confident, indignant rejection of them would be far better evidence of success IMO.
great comment, and I wrote about breast implant illness here: https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/265-shaher-khan-mdthe-foremost-plastic?utm_source=publication-search
I wrote Butchered before I understood all this.
Oh good, I have to read that!
Absolutely agree!
