During the first trimester of pregnancy, basal insulin production increases by approximately 30% while insulin sensitivity remains good.

Well SupportedLoss of estrogen during menopause is associated with symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, anxiety, depression, decreased libido, and vaginal dryness.

Partially SupportedConsuming 1-2 ounces of liver per day is ideal for humans to thrive and achieve optimal health, including healthy hormones, libido, and successful conception/pregnancy.

Partially SupportedEvolutionarily consistent amounts of liver are healthful for humans, especially during pregnancy.

Partially SupportedPaul Saladino consumes beef organs and liver to manage his homocysteine levels.

Partially SupportedHormone replacement therapy (HRT) is highly beneficial for women transitioning through perimenopause and menopause.

Partially SupportedSome patients have successfully stopped thyroid replacement therapy using desiccated beef thyroid with monitored stable levels.

Well SupportedAfter menopause, estrogen production is very low and progesterone is absent.

Not SupportedExcessive intake of liver, particularly with synthetic vitamin A, can lead to toxicity.

Partially SupportedRetinol palmitate in liver and supplements has a reasonable safe zone for consumption.

Partially SupportedPost-menopausal women experience increased risks of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease due to decreased estrogen.

Partially SupportedCardiovascular disease risk increases significantly with a poor diet including high consumption of seed oils, sugar, and refined carbohydrates.

Partially SupportedSupplementation with whey proteins, prenatal vitamins, or organ supplements may be necessary for pregnant individuals who cannot eat enough.

Partially SupportedDuring perimenopause, estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate significantly, leading to a relative state of estrogen dominance.

Partially SupportedVitamin A is not inherently toxic for humans, but excessive amounts can be harmful.

Partially SupportedMedication may be required to control nausea during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Partially SupportedOnce menopause occurs, ovaries cannot be reactivated, and hormone levels do not return to pre-menopausal states.

Partially SupportedHormone replacement therapy (HRT) is highly beneficial, particularly for prevention, and has a better efficacy window within 10 years of menopause.

Partially SupportedHormone replacement therapy is more effective for prevention than reversal of menopausal symptoms and age-related diseases.

Partially SupportedSevere nausea and fatigue in the first trimester of pregnancy can cause weight loss and metabolic derangements.

Partially SupportedDesiccated liver supplements provide folate and riboflavin important for individuals with MTHFR polymorphisms.

Partially SupportedHormone replacement therapy can improve quality of life and reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's.

Partially SupportedWomen who underwent estrogen replacement therapy showed decreased rates of Alzheimer's and dementia.

Partially SupportedWomen who prioritize nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress reduction tend to transition through menopause more smoothly.
