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.

I am always asked, what do you recommend instead of hormonal contraception? For painful periods, irregular periods, acne, and other hormonal issues, I recommend getting to the root cause of the problem and solving it, not covering it up with birth control pills.
For contraception, I`m the first to say that we need better, safer options. When possible and appropriate, barrier methods are the least inflammatory and have zero effect on natural hormone production. For a more hands off contraception, I recommend the copper IUD. It has no hormonal products so it doesn`t affect ovarian function, but it does create a slightly inflammatory environment within the uterus that is toxic to sperm, which is how it works.

A new study just came out showing that oral contraceptives increase breast cancer risk. I`ve been sounding the alarm on "hormonal" birth control for some time and this is one more study showing why we need better contraception options for women.
Did you know...
* Hormonal birth control does NOT contain human hormones!
* Hormonal contraceptives are endocrine disruptors that lower or even shut down your natural hormone production.
* Your natural hormones are anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer, but the hormone-mimickers in birth control are pro-inflammatory and increase blood pressure, blood clotting, and breast cancer.
* Birth control pills put you in a state of mild premature aging!

Birth control pills increase blood pressure, blood clotting. They negatively change the gut microbiome. They increase body-wide inflammation. By shutting down your natural hormones, they put you in a state of accelerated aging!

Insta Live today at 7PM. A new study just came out showing that hormone replacement therapy reduces the risk of Alzheimer`s Disease. What you need to know.
Thurs, 4/6 at 7PM Pacific
IG @dr.felicegersh
I have so much to say about this study:
* The neuroprotective properties of HRT should not be surprising. I`m happy to see more confirmation.
* Earlier rather than later start is known to be beneficial and it`s great to see this further confirmed.
But also...
* WHY is anyone still studying conjugated equine estrogens and progestins?!?
* WHY are we still prescribing "hormones" that aren`t human hormones and that have known health risks?!?
Join me tonight to discuss what this does and doesn`t mean for HRT, menopause, and Alzheimer`s Disease.

One reason birth control pills increase cancer risk is because they shut down natural, rhythmic ovarian hormone production. These hormonal peaks and waves turn on tumor suppressor genes that reduce breast cancer incidence. The artificial bleeding that the birth control pill produces does not trigger cells` anti-tumor behaviors in the same way.

Birth control pills are NOT health pills. They don`t "fix" your hormones. They replace your natural hormones with endocrine disrupting chemicals. They also don`t "fix" your period. They replace your natural period with a chemically-induced bleeding window that has none of the benefits that your real period has.
Natural hormonal cycles are especially important for young women. In the teen years and early twenties, estradiol is critically important to building bone and supporting cardiovascular, neurological, and immune health. Suppressing natural hormones increases the risk for many diseases and health conditions, including breast cancer.
