  Literally crying. I am just mad at the lack of information doctors have regarding all of this. Just starting out on bhrt and I already see a difference in my level of body pain, energy and weight loss. This after being on a glp1 for 10 months but not consistently due to availability. So glad I took things into my own hands by doing more research and advocating for myself. Biggest thing was seeking a functional medicine clinic besides my general practitioner.

  LOVE this conversation, especially about how hard the medical community is on WOMEN generally and POSTMENOPAUSAL women specifically. Love how supportive you are of each other too. So refreshing, thank you! 🤩

  With microdosing there are no side effects and indeed has tremendous benefits including weight loss. The side effects are from overdosing. Unfortunately the name brands only come in a fixed dose which is 2.5 mg., which is too much for the majority. I refer you to Dr. Tyna Moore who has done extensive research on this subject.

  Many women 10-15 years post menopause are on these meds are already suffering from sarcopenia  and struggle greatly to maintain muscle , how does a 65 year old women eating 1/2 as much build muscle ?

  My mother was obese.  My father was not. She, also, ate 4 pieces of cake in one sitting.  We did not inherit her “genetic” habits.   My dad’s mother was obese. 6 of 7 of her kids are athleticly built. Her 11 of 12 grandchildren are the same.  One takes antidepressants and has a different personality from us but his parent, my aunt, are athletic.

  As a parent of a SEN child I feel there is a balance that needs to be struck… having a maximalist and unsustainable approach towards treating population level issues without a tapering plan is unrealistic, these interventions if they are not used when needed are indeed a wasted resource, but when used excessively, maybe even in a health system which is already very unequal and struggling with the fundamentals and with limited resources it will have knock on effects, I know many people who are jumping the gun with new or fashionable treatments and most of them have had severely negative outcomes because the same discipline they struggled with to try to change their life for the better also prevents them from taking a systemic and healthy approach towards medical interventions.

  I think that the good doctor may be missing the point on micro-dosing. Because the effects of these peptides are so far reaching , their therapeutic potential is not limited to diabetes and obesity . Their optimal dose in other applications is still unknown, but with medicine it’s often better to under-dose initially until the smallest does necessary to achieve the desired result , is determined.

  There are still contraindications with micro dosing Semaglutide. People with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos, Dysautonomia that includes motility issues, should not or be cautiously. Just an fyi.

  So what is a good or bad range of body fat percentage via like a DEXA scan on a woman in her 30s? What should we be aiming for?
