In this episode, we talk about:
Jackie’s Question:
"I am concerned that if I use estrogen cream, such as estriol, that I will gain weight and lose hair. I have seen conflicting accounts to whether this is true, and some say that it helps regrow hair and helps with weight loss. I have not started menopause yet, (I'm almost 40) and want something to help me stay youthful, lose weight and grow my hair which started thinning very badly and continues since pregnancy, help protect bone density, improve mood and memory, and get my libido back. Is estrogen cream a good fit for me? Thanks!"
