Multivitamin Pure Encapsulations 950

Does anyone take this multivitamin? I'm looking at switching to this because it looks to be a great product and I could stop my B complex which is also a pure product. It is a bit pricey at 1.33 per day. Here is the breakdown: Supplement Facts Serving Size: 6 Capsules Servings per Container: 60 Amou...

Re: Sleep!

Floramaria, thanks for your reply. I haven't noticed an improvement in sleep with the increase in hormones but I usually get 6-7 hours. I started magnesium maleate for sleep problems 7-8 years ago after seeing an integrative medicine Doctor. I was going through a very stressful time of my life. It h...

Re: Happy to Report... (HRT-related update)

Slacker, thanks for the thoughtful questions. Yes I started bHRT for memory and also low libido. I started the Mito diet in November and was feeling great by January. I then started a low dose bHRT and did not feel as well. Not sure if I may have been experiencing a "keto high". But I stil...

Re: Happy to Report... (HRT-related update)

Ladies, I have a question about using the biodentical hormones? I've used them since January this year. Started at a very low dose since I am 65 and 10 years past menopause. My dose was increased 2 months ago. Is there anything specific that I will notice that the hormones improve? The strength I'm ...

Re: Sleep!

Thanks Slacker, I use the topical cream. If things don't improve with the higher dose I will talk with my doctor about the patches. Xactly, don't have my labs with me right now but my doctor did not mention testosterone. Another thing I will put on my list to talk with him about. I know DHEA can als...

Re: Sleep!

Thanks NF52. I've looked at these and read the long thread on HRT. A lot of good information. For me I have to weigh out the possibility of better memory and not feeling as good as before HRT. Hopefully this higher dose will improve how I feel. For those of us who are 10 or more years into menopause...

Re: Sleep!

I too am 65 and started HRT a few months ago on a very low dose, Biest 1mg: Pro 40mg. I have not taken hormones before. I soon noticed not feeling as peaceful and calm. Maybe less libido. I know my memory is no better. My doctor has just doubled the dosage. How long should I wait to see improvement?...

Functional Medicine Training

I have a question regarding how a doctor becomes a Functional Medicine Doctor. I believe the doctor I am seeing used Dr. Daniel Kalish. Can someone tell me how a physician becomes a FM Doctor? I have a lot of respect for the doctor I am seeing. Just concerned about a recent supplement I was asked to...
