Estrogen and Burning Mouth Syndrome

 

Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is also known as stomatodynia and the International Association for the Study of Pain has defined it as “all forms of burning sensation in the mouth, including complaints described as stinging sensation or pain, in association with an oral mucosa that appears clinically normal in the absence of local or systemic diseases or alterations.”

The majority of the studies in the National Library of Medicine conducted on menopausal women and BMS suggest...

Doctors Fear Women Are Taking Dangerously High Amounts of HRT

I like to go over the headlines of perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy and discuss my perspective as a clinical hormone coach of 20 years. I’ve coached thousands of women on virtually every form of HRT and understand how they all work and what their limitations and strengths are.

I saw this article in my mailbox and felt compelled to respond to it than any other article because I think I am one of the people this article is warning against.

I believe there is a lot of...

Does Menopause Have Side Effects or Is Menopause a Side Effect?

 

Does Menopause Have Side Effects or Is Menopause A Side Effect?

There is a general consensus that menopause is inevitable and something every woman will have to endure at one point in her life.

Google "menopause" and you will see how most people view menopause. 

People talk about menopause as if it were a condition that causes a number of mental and physical side effects such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, weight gain, low sex drive, etc., that must be managed with drugs,...

FDA Approves Veozah to Treat Hot Flashes

 

The FDA Approves Novel Drug to Treat Moderate to Severe Hot Flashes Caused by Menopause. This is the title of a CNN article that has several misleading components. In fact, the entire article is loaded with misleading information that contributes to the confusion millions of women experience on a daily basis when it comes to menopause.

The US Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved a new type of drug to treat hot flashes and night sweats during menopause.

The article...

AI, Estrogen, and Menopause

 

One of the biggest lies ever told by the Medical Establishment is that estrogen is bad for women, that it causes cancer, and that it should be kept low at all times. There is a general fear of estrogen that stems back generations if you ask anyone on the street, they would tell you that estrogen causes cancer. (Read my post entitled The Truth About Estrogen and Cancer ) I fell for this at the beginning of my career but eventually learned the truth with my own eyes. I have a unique...

The Truth About Estrogen and Cancer

 

Everybody knows estrogen causes breast cancer. The media reports about the Woman’s Health Initiative (WHI) have been abundantly clear. The message is estrogen causes breast cancer. But do we really know that, or have we just been told that? The fear of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), like the Sword of Damocles, looms over the head of all who dare use or prescribe estrogen replacement therapy. The frequent negative media reports on breast cancer as well as Black Box...

The Business of Menopause

 

According to a report by the venture capital firm Female Founders Fund, there is a $600 billion opening for the business of menopause but I think it is more than that. The report stated that based on an average of $2,000 a year that the 1 billion women expected to be in menopause worldwide by 2025 spend on prescriptions, doctor visits, treatments, devices, and products to address symptoms like night sweats, loss of libido, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. I believe the...

Perimenopause and Verbal Vomiting

 

Before I meet with a potential hormone therapy patient, I review their chart and look through the paperwork to get an idea of what kind of “shape” they are in, hormonally speaking. The first two places I look is at their clinical indicator assessment questionnaire and their current labs. (The clinical indicator assessment is one of the tools we use in the hormone clinic, along with lab work, to determine the hormonal balance status of a woman.)

When I saw the...

Hormonal Contraception And Suicide

One thing I found in my years of research is that you can find a study to support just about anything even when it comes to hormonal contraception use, depression, and suicide. One study from The American Journal of Psychiatry1 entitled, Association of Hormonal Contraception With Suicide Attempts and Suicide concludes, “Use of hormonal contraception was positively associated with subsequent suicide attempt and suicide. Adolescent women experienced the highest relative risk.”...

Too Young For Perimenopause?

 

I'm 38, my partner rolls his eyes and says I'm too young to go through perimenopause. Is this true?

He may be right that 38 is too young for perimenopause however over the past 20 years as a clinical hormone coach, I've seen the median age of perimenopause go down to where it is not unusual for women to experience Stage I symptoms in their late twenties and early thirties. (There are three stages of perimenopause.)

So what is the cause of this age decline? In order to answer that...
