b'Maria\\u2019s Question:\\xa0\\nHello, I\\u2019ve been reading the articles on BHRT, and I have questions. Does the body or will the body develop tolerance to hormones? Whether progesterone, testosterone or estrogens, will I eventually have to increase my dose to get the same effect, progesterone for sleep, estrogen for hot flashes, testosterone for energy and libido\\u2026 Thank you very much.\\nShort Answer:\\xa0\\nThere are many factors that go into a BHRT dosage for a patient. This includes age, gender, lifestyle, stress level, and severity of symptoms. Typically, when we work with a patient, their BHRT dosage will increase over time. A patient does not necessarily develop a tolerance to bioidentical hormones; however, a lower starting dosage may not be effective to manage symptoms and a slight increase may be needed.\\nPYHP 083 Full Transcript:\\xa0\\nDownload PYHP 083\\nDr. Maki: Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us for another episode of the progression podcast. I\\u2019m Dr. Maki.\\nDr. Davidson: And I\\u2019m Dr. Davidson.\\xa0\\nDr. Maki: So, we\\u2019re going to kind of dive right in. This is another question. This one comes from Maria. Again, looks like she found us on a blog post on how does bioidentical progesterone help. So, Dr. Davidson want to read the question from Maria.\\nDr. Davidson: Sure, sure. So, I know we\\u2019ve been doing a lot of reader questions lately. Only because we\\u2019ve been getting a lot of questions in and I do think that they\\u2019re important, but know that we\\u2019re going to do a combination on what questions, topics, concerns.\\nDr. Maki: Yes, yes. Like I said, we have a kind of a backlog. And these are very specific type questions. And we know, which is why we\\u2019re doing them that these kind of answers to these questions are next to impossible to find on the internet, you can\\u2019t just type in a question that we get and be able to find that answer. You have to look and look and look and then when it comes to hormone replacement in general, there\\u2019s a million different opinions, right? There\\u2019s not just one way to do a bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.\\xa0\\nYou talk to 10 doctors. You\\u2019re going to have 10 different opinions, which makes it even more confusing for the patient. Because, well, their doctor does one thing, we say another, another doctor says something else. How does the average person make any sense of any of that, okay? But we have our approach. We have what works for our patients. And a way to when problems arise like on the last episode, when something comes up, knowing how to, which is also an issue that comes up quite a bit. Sometimes doctors do a dose or do a prescription or do a treatment plan, but then something comes up that is not favorable, and they don\\u2019t know how to fix it. That\\u2019s also why we\\u2019re kind of doing this podcast as well, because we end up seeing a lot of those people because they got it, they went to see somebody else, and they just didn\\u2019t get the results they wanted and they end'
