Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter describes his own menopause, noticing dropping estrogen levels and starting estradiol last month. He says the bioidentical hormone has helped his symptoms and he's now connecting friends across the country with functional-medicine doctors treating the same issues.
All of us women go through it, and all of the men go through a change of life as well. So I started to feel a little bit something still wasn't quite right. And while my estrogen levels had been normal, they were starting to dip. And so last month, I started on estradiol, which is the bioidentical form of estrogen, is what it starts at in our bodies. And that has also really helped. Oh, crazy. So now I say I've fully jumped head in. I'm fully menopausal now. But it's really allowed me and interesting in my going through that. My friends who live in all over the country have since started seeing other functional medicine practitioners that I've helped them to get in touch with through our networks, because they're having the same problems. All of us women go through it, and all of the men go through a change of life as well.
