Estradiol formulations for menopausal hormone therapy & what's best for you! | Felice Gersh, MD
If you are on hormone replacement therapy, or if you are looking to start, you know that estradiol preparations are confusing. In this talk, I discuss the benefits of transdermal delivery methods like patches, gels, and creams, and I explain why I never prescribe oral estrogen and pellets. Learn why dose matters, the science behind different delivery systems, and how to achieve balanced, effective hormone therapy tailored to your needs. A must-watch for anyone interested in optimizing health through HRT! Watch for my latest Instagram lives at / dr.felicegersh I am a full time practicing doctor.
