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.

The chances that a random MRI saves your life are...
Not zero, but very, very small. But the chances that you find something that sends you down a harmful, meaningless, medical rabbit hole? 20-40%!
We’ve all heard the story of someone who went in for some procedure and was serendipitously saved when the doctors found cancer just in time. So it’s not surprising that there is so much interest in total body MRI screenings.
Yes, this can happen, but how likely is it, really? And how much more likely is it that something incidental and benign shows up that ends up harming you through invasive diagnostic procedures? And what does it even mean if you do get that MRI and it doesn’t show anything?

If you get headaches as a side effect of HRT, you can...
Headaches are another HRT side effect that I see in my patients, and they are usually caused by decreasing estrogens levels. One solution that I find to be effective is switching women off of the patch, which delivers decreasing levels over the few days that it’s worn, to a gel or cream that can be applied twice a day to maintain very stable estradiol levels.
