Why do women live longer than men? Does the ability to bear children play a role and to what extent do evolutionary forces discriminate between men and women?
In this in-depth interview Dr. Gersh explains why she “had to unlearn” about half of everything she learned at medical school calls for a fundamental “shake-up” in the delivery of health care.
Dr Gersh is an AMAZING Doctor. She has extensive knowledge in many fields and is STILL always learning. I don’t know how she does it! I have been working as an independent contractor of Medical Massage in her office for over a decade.
Dr. Gersh is an absolutely extraordinary doctor and human. Even though all my visits to her haven’t been for happy reasons, she absolutely has put all my worries at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable and is ready and willing to run the tests necessary to find out the root cause of any issue.
Dr. Gersh has been my primary care doctor for over twenty years. I have always found her to be interested, caring, and concerned about my health. She takes the extra time to spend with you, to find out how your life is in relation to how your health is.
I trust Dr. Gersh to give me a complete holistic exam and consultation. Dr. Gersh interprets the data from all the blood testing and makes adjustments to my diet and prescriptions. I am involved in two clinical trials of the Women’s Health Initiative and take my Healthy Aging seriously.

Dr Felice Gersh discusses palpitations and women
Menopause is an inflammatory event. Nothing works quite right and nothing can heal quite right.
I advocate for cyclic HRT to best approximate the hormonal levels of a naturally cycling reproductive-aged woman.
In contrast, static low dose hormones approximate the end phase of the menstrual cycle when inflammation is highest. Not surprisingly, that’s also when most women experience their worst PMS symptoms. Why on earth would anyone pick those hormone levels as the target for women in menopause?!?

Menopause with hormone deficiency increases your risk of weight gain. Replacing those hormones with human identical hormones at physiologic levels maintains metabolic homeostasis and lowers your risk of weight gain.
As a general rule, when your body has the right levels of human-identical ovarian hormones, estradiol and progesterone, these hormones work together to stabilize weight.
Your natural hormones:
* moderate appetite
* lower inflammation
* improve insulin sensitive
* balance fluid retention and removal
When women newly on HRT do gain weight, it is usually fluid, which can make you feel puffy and big, and will show up as weight gain on the scale. Alternatively, if your hormone levels are still too low, you can keep the body in a state of low grade inflammation, which promotes weight gain.

Heart palpitations are a common but under-discussed symptom of perimenopause and menopause. You may feel like your heart is racing, fluttering, or even skipping a beat.
Hormones play a critical role in the maintenance of the cardiovascular system, the ability of the heart to create and use energy, and the autonomic nervous system, which controls heart beat.
In today`s talk, I plan on covering:
* What are heart palpitations?
* How do changing hormones during the menopause transition affect the heart?
* Can heart palpitations be a sign of heart disease or a heart attack?
* When should I see a doctor?
* Does experiencing heart palpitations increase my risk of developing future health problems?
* Does HRT and/or pharmaceuticals treat heart palpitations? What works best?
I`ll be checking Instagram for questions so if you have any additional questions regarding HRT and heart palpitations that you`d like me to address, please add them to the comments of this post.
And let me know what else you`d like me to discuss. This week`s topic was picked from a question from last week. I do read all your questions!
