Dr. Berg is WRONG! | The TRUTH About Hormone Replacement after Menopause

The Womens' Health Initiative itself had an "arm" or subset of women who had no uterus. They were given the Premarin without an opposing progestogen. This subset of women had reduced breast cancer risk. Therefore, I concluded that it is the progestogen that raised breast cancer risk. I was a cell biology researcher looking for a treatment for my 70-year old mother who had fallen while hiking and broke both her wrists. After beginning transdermal estradiol (the patch) and micronized oral progesterone, she never broke another bone in the rest of her life. She lived to 94 and fell several times.

Dr Doug did not tear Dr Berg down. He presented data as he always does. Dr Berg has been and will continue to be a great resource on many health topics. Listening to many experts is how we learn and therefore can make our own decisions for our health care. Not sure why you took this so personally.

How old is the video made by Dr Berg? This topic is SO confusing due to the Women’s Health Initiative study from about 15 years ago. I’d like to see more research done on post menopausal women.

Thank you Dr. Lucas for the clarification video on this topic. Whenever I have questions about things I read or see, I always do lots of research. I’m on HRT to help prevent the bad stuff from happening and I’ll stay on it for as long as I can. Videos such as this help women make better choices for themselves. 🙏

Appreciate your comments and clarification on hormones, Dr Doug. And it's good to hear that you like Dr. Berg. He's helped educate millions of people to help us try and stay healthy.

Awesome info video I am 62 years old and dealing with low thyroid issues thanks for sharing

Everyone has different opinions. I usually don’t know who or what to believe.

The data for reduced breast cancer risk in the subset of women who did not take medroxyprogesterone acetate is right there in the original Womens' Health Initiative article. It is so annoying to me that it took decades for medical professionals to notice this.

Yeah I live Dr Berg many of his research ideas have helped me. But nothing wrong with a different assessment. Glad to hear your perspective.

Dr Berg's video is old. He looks different now than on the video. He still has a lot of good info on many topics. However, as for osteoporosis, I like to follow Dr. Lucas 😊

Thank you for clarifying this!

Labeling something bioidenticle vs synthetic is not a guarantee that either is more safe or more effective. Example - pure T3 for thyroid replacement is Cytomel / liothyronine & it's synthetic- it works well and there aren't side effects if used / prescribed properly.

I really dislike the phrase 'older' because what does that mean exactly? Dr. Doug I am so happy you keep focussing on this topic of hormones. It is so fundamental to our lives and yet still there is much confusion for post menopausal women on what steps to take and how to find valid information. Outside the US even harder.

So we have to do our own research (I do). But as a lay person it's often difficult to know how to spot the corrupted and falsified research so I've also been reading books exposing and explaining the tricks used not only to sell medications but to push scans and tests etc. But I now feel I'm left swinging in the wind trusting no one.

I love Dr. Berg! This video of his seems quite old … I wonder what his current thoughts might be.

Clearly explained Dr Doug. Thank you.

100% everything you said about hormones for menopausal women!

Excellent information! Thank you.

It's such a strong pressure on women to take HRT, I almost feel something's wrong with me since I don't feel I need anything to help me through this stage of life. Of course everyone who has bad experience should use it, that's what science should do - help people. But if I don't feel I need it I shouldn't be pressured by my gynecologist to use it.

There's also enough evidence and studies showing that higher levels of estrogen (during postmenopausal) will be preventive for Alzheimer's disease, Osteoporosis, and cardiovascular health. Thank you for this!
