Just In TimeSBy Dr. Donna Beckerhe came to me like so many women, right after her periods had stopped. The usual age of menopause, whenthe ovaries stop working, is age 51, but it can come as early as the 40s.“Well, you are just in time”, I told her. When the ovaries stop functioning, the loss of bone and weight gain is the greatest in those first years. I explained that many doctors believe the beginning of menopause is the only time to replace hormones. However, Dr. Bredesen, who wrote THE END OF ALZHEIMER’S and Dr. Bluming who wrote ESTROGEN MATTERS along with many other physicians. believe we need youthful hormones all our lives. YES, when you are over 60, you REALLY do need hormones!I explained to her that she had 3 sex hormones in her body as a young woman. Estradiol helps the brain to think, the skin to retain moisture and elasticity, builds bone, and promotes moistness of all mucus membranes. Progesterone promotes sleep and calmness, while testosterone adds zest and energy.She had heard about the pellet type of replacement for hormones, but I explained to her that she would only be able to receive the testosterone pellet, later in therapy.“With your intact uterus, I told her, if I gave you enough estradiol in a pellet form to help your body, it would cause you to have a period. The best way for you to take estradiol is by a patch, cream, tablet, or spray. I measure blood levels after you have been given the hormones in a daily application. Then, I can rapidly amend the dose if needed, judging by how you react and by your labs.
