And a psychiatrist. A mistress as substitute for the evidence-based medical care that that doctor was probably entirely ignorant of because here's the great scandal of gynecology departments that nobody knows. They're all baby doctors or reproductive health specialists.

If there's one doctor, it's rare, or there are usually none who have any training whatsoever in menopause and perimenopause care. So no wonder they tell you this ridiculous stuff when there are actually real answers for what you're going through if you read the science, which I did. And doctors, I mean, really, it's really terrible, the lack of...

Just so terrible. This was a total, it was totally dishonest the way they presented it. They said that these effects, the breast cancer, everything else was in healthy menopausal women. That was a lie. So they tested estrogen, the Premarin, and actually they didn't give progesterone.

They gave medroxyprogesterone acetate, which is a synthetic knockoff of progesterone in our bodies that is very harmful. It's harmful, increases cardiovascular risk, risk of Alzheimer's, and it doesn't do some of the wonderful things natural progesterone does, which you take as an FDA-approved drug. because then it's regulated and you know you're getting what you're supposed to and everything.

It's just the same formulation as in our bodies. But with this study, they gave it to women in their 70s. So nobody's grandma's not going to the doctor looking for something for her hot flashes. And when you give estrogen to a woman who's already broken, these were sick, obese, otherwise very ill women, then you break her further.

And the thing is, what the science shows is that there's a critical window right after menopause. If you start taking estrogen as a healthy woman, you have to make sure you don't have plaque buildup already taking your arteries into the danger zone and look at other health metrics. But if you're healthy, you can initiate estrogen then. And this is what the science now shows

based on individual health, you can continue taking it. You should be monitored throughout your lifespan. And the reason this is important is that estrogen has, we've found, these protective effects beyond symptom relief. And so if you're not taking estrogen, like at 79, when women are prone to fall and break bones,

You don't have the protection you can't do as the head of Kaiser Gynecology West LA just advised me to do. This is like outdated science from 2002. She told me I needed to taper off estrogen at 60. I'm 61. Well, I wouldn't do that because I read science from 2025 and I'm not basing this. I mean, she's the head of gynecology. She's choosing the formulary for Kaiser for menopause care.

I mean, this is the horror that is medicine right now.

Okay, I have a few contentions with what you said. One of them is that research on testosterone for women in menopause and perimenopause, for women in general, it's just not there in terms of longitudinal safety studies. Those are long-term studies on breast cancer risk and also on cardiovascular risk. And now, so that's why it's important to take a conservative approach to that, which I do.
