The Shocking Way Estrogen Impacts your Brain, Skin, Weight & More! | Menopause Symptoms

I'm only 25 but I love learning about menopause because it's so important to know about and nobody talks about it! I am so happy to see people discussing this now, it is a huge part of our lives. I'd argue, even bigger than puberty. This is going to probably sound stupid but I just don't understand why our bodies do this if it causes sooo many issues? Now I don't want periods forever, but it just seems like lack of hormones causes a lot of pretty big issues with our bodies, so why?

Thank you again much for this Rena! I am post 50 now and am really paying attention to what's going on with my body (and my wife's body) and am trying to make better decisions on what we need to do to remain healthy. You probably don't know how much you are helping us but please know that we really appreciate what you're doing for us.

This morning, I see new, small, red blood vessels on one of my cheeks, and I wonder, “What the heck are these, and where do they come from?” Thinking I will try to ask my dermatologist at next visit, but Dr. is usually so rushed, I can barely get a word in. Enter Dr. Malik, with her explanation regarding effects of estrogen levels dropping. Here I am, 51, with irregular menses, having missed the last two months, being armed with knowledge about the role of hormones in the body. Thank you, Dr. Malik.

Dr Malik, I am 68 yr male wife of over 35 years 63 years young. We watch your content, I consider us open and comfortable with all things sexual. That said your content on men and womens health has broaden our knowledge and discussion. I went on TRT and Wife on Estrogen therapy ~ 1 year ago. We both feel our intimacy is the best ever. Real game changer for us. Thank you for your professional candid content. BTW really enjoyed you letting us to get to know your mom and your relationship. She is soooo sweet your love and admortion for her is so evident! Keep it coming!

This is an incredibly detailed and enormously useful presentation In layman’s terms Such high quality content And I say this as a man Thank you I’ll share it with women I care about with discretion of course

Thank you for covering the topic so comprehensively.

Thank you! This is one of the most clear and concise breakdowns of menopause . I have not always liked the interviews of you I have seen. Absolutely masterful! ❤❤❤

I would like to understand more about early menopause - I had a hysterectomy at 30 ( endometriosis, PCOS, cyst rupture, fibroids) so I am 7 years in. Thanks for talking about these topics, it has made me realize I need to see a doctor like you.

Excellent job Doc!!! Very educational!!!!! Have a wonderful weekend!!!!!❤

Goodness, if only I hadn't found this very informative segment.... I wouldn't still have understood women... Thanks Doc, for this!👍👍👍 Happy New Year to you and ur team🙏🙏🙏

I'm proud to say that my fire station has a course to inform staff, especially on the front line about menopause. This is valuable information to adds to that and I will recomend this podcast. Thank you. 😊

Superb video as always Doctor Rena Malik 👍🇦🇺👍

Wish we had someone like you in New Zealand, thank you for talking to us here

You terrified me. I watched this as my wife has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and they have put her on an anti-estrogen (post bilateral mastectomy ) treatment as her cancer was 100% positive for estrogen receptors. And now I know about all the horrible effects of reduced estrogen. Any advise?

Started dating again in my 50s and encountered many women with VVA after menopause. Heartbreaking and frustrating. Trying to park a big car in a small garage isn't fun for anybody. 😕

Thanks!

Just me, who had POI watching to see if I can learn more about how HRT is helping me haha. I'm going to send this video to some people, because I think it does a good job of explaining some of the risks of POI and why I need to be on HRT and also the symptoms I was experiencing beforehand.

please tell me more

I'm curious to know more including and especially around alternatives or supportive therapies. I've had yam and emu creams suggested to me but I have no idea if that's all placebo that my circle are experiencing. I also heard that there are skin-care products that have estrogen or precursors and I'm curious around your thoughts regarding those products and the types of estrogen being used.
