Now a few weeks into January, it’s good to reflect on the resolutions that we made on January 1 and consider how those are going. Today I’ll be sharing some of my insights into how to regroup and reset to be successful in making long-term transformation based on what we truly believe is good for us, instead of focusing on what we “should” be doing. I’ll also share some of my other favorite ways to regroup and return to our intentions for the year, including (not popular in the west, but it really works!) reflecting on death, and going back to the old favorites of generosity, gratitude, and forgiveness.

There’s lots of discussion lately about using estrogen on your face to improve collagen and minimize wrinkles and fine lines. It’s difficult to evaluate how well these products work because so far we have no standardization between studies, and different types of estrogen have been used as well as different mixtures of products like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and others. Most products use the weakest estrogen called estriol, but using the much more potent estrogen called estradiol is also another option- so long as the dose is very low. So far, no good studies can claim that estrogen is more helpful than placebo for the face, but more research needs to be done before we can state that it isn’t beneficial. And at the appropriate doses, there is no scenario in which it would be harmful. Today, I’ll be going over some different options and dosing protocols. At CMWC we offer no promises, but recommend you to try it and see!

Today I’m revisiting the common idea that hormone pellets are somehow worse or more dangerous than other options for testosterone delivery. Derogatory language like “pellet pushers” is divisive and unhelpful, and suggests that all providers who prescribe pellets are practicing irresponsibly. While irresponsible providers exist in all fields, well educated menopause experts find that pellets are a viable option for patients who choose them, after being given the pros and cons of all available hormone delivery methods. Remember that we do not have an FDA approved testosterone product available for women, so all testosterone for women comes from a compounding pharmacy- and whether it is a cream, a pellet or a sublingual troche, it’s exactly the same product, and the delivery method should be the patient's choice.

This is the second in our resistance training series with master trainer Kelley Workman, who teaches us four whole body exercises that can be completed at home in 30 minutes. On November 27, we posted our first video, and Kelley’s suggestion is to master four exercises (3 x weekly for 30 minutes) for a month before adding more.

Most of us have heard that the lifetime risk of breast cancer for a woman in the United States is 1 in 8, which is alarmingly high. It’s important to keep in mind that this is a population based risk, and that your own personal risk might be significantly lower or higher than this. Today I’m talking about a new FDA regulation requiring that mammograms assess our level of breast density, since this is one of the factors that can increase our breast cancer risk. For patients with high breast density (in the level C or D range), which is more than 50% of patients, the recommendation is to use a risk calculator and consider additional testing (with ultrasound or MRI) for a patient whose calculated lifetime breast cancer risk is greater than 20%. Anyone can do this risk assessment themselves using the link below. If your risk is 20% or greater you can talk to your physician about ordering additional testing. https://bcrisktool.cancer.gov/calculator.html
