how to be a girl (guide for 6+ months of hormones) (interviewing a DIY HRT researcher!)

"Update: Risk of cholestasis is increased with transdermal estradiol depending on dosage. There are also other medications asociated with this risk, in this case it was a combination of congenital anomaly of the biliary tract, anti-diabetic medication, high dose transdermal estrogen exposure and an SSRi that together caused cholestasis which in turn elevated the liver enzimes. The problem rectified itself after balancing of medications and starting a basic 1 month treatment for bile and liver that included silymarin and artichoke. "

in this video i’m chatting with a DIY HRT researcher and we’re discussing progesterone, transition, other medical things, and more. hope you enjoy :)
