I appreciate your exploration of this topic, Dr. Guess, since it is a very important topic. There’s so much mystery and misery for so many of us before, during and after the menopause transition.
I’m tired of scammers and influencers whose sole interest is to find a way into my pocket on the promise of dubious claims. Fortunately, Dr. Jen Gunter wrote the Menopause Manifesto and shared current (at the time of publication) information that I found useful and helpful.
I’m grateful to have a no nonsense gynecologist who shared options for me when the symptoms got terrible. It certainly has made the transition more bearable.
I am menopausal and getting a CGM for other reasons showed me 100% of my hot flashes were glucose crashes. When I am able to prevent those I have no symptoms. I have not found a gyn who will discuss HRT in a balanced way and most of them I’ve contacted have reacted with anger when I ask if HRT may not be appropriate for me. They have some other agenda than what I was hoping to discuss.
As someone who has gone through the menopause, with symptoms so horrendous i intended to kill myself, i can say they only thing which helps is hrt, full stop
