Diet change/soy to reduce hotflashes?

shakybabe

I read that its progesterone that needs replacing not oestrogen. As progesterone levels drop we become oestrogen dominant so it seems odd that doctors then give us more oestrogen!

I've started progesterone cream and the oestrogen dominance diet to see if I can just flatten my tummy. Soy also intereferes with thyroid function which can slow weight loss if happen to have already slow thyroid.

No, I keep saying I'm going to try sweet potatoes. I'm already on Lexapro for my depression which is also to help with hot flashes.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I will give that Remifemin a try until I decide if I should go on estrogen.
