Re: 70 year old with night sweats - do I take Estriol?
Hormone therapy can be appropriate for older women in some circumstances. Best to work with your doctor. In the US, qualified naturopathic doctors can be found on the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians website.

Re: Spotting and SHBG high
Have you been tested for thyroid antibodies? Because positive thyroid antibodies (even with normal TSH) can be associated with hypothyroid symptoms, including spotting. See the thyroid discussion in my books.

Re: Inositol and IUD contraceptive: seperate or together?
First, the hormonal IUD does not exactly control PCOS symptoms... It can prevent the abnormal buildup of the uterine lining, but that's it.

I've just recorded a new podcast episode about the role of histamine and dairy in premenstrual allergy-type symptoms.

Re: Perimenopause and mood
Have you read my perimenopause book Hormone Repair Manual? Depending on what phase of perimenopause you're in, your own estrogen levels could still be quite high. In which case, estrogen can usually just be stopped without tapering down. And yes, progesterone can be used on its own at a higher dose....
