Such a surreal moment and complete privilege that I got to interview Dr. Gail Jackson. Even though her practice has transitioned to helping women age amazingly and fabulously; she’ll still be the woman who helped deliver me. Enjoy!

Hello Dr. Jackson! Thank you so much for doing the interview! Let’s jump right in! 

How would you introduce yourself?

My specialty has transitioned with my patients to menopause wellness. We offer all the secrets to insure women are absolutely fabulous. 

What is the most effective way to increase our levels of testosterone?  

The best way to increase your testosterone is via testosterone pellets. It is not absorbed well orally. Many clients use testosterone in the form of a cream. We have seen that the pellets are more effective than the creams because the skin is difficult to permeate. 

What is the Celebrity Fit Program, how can we get access to the program?  

This is our novel program utilizing HCG and a defined food program to effect rapid and sustainable weight loss. Make an appointment for a consultation.

What would you say is the biggest misconception about hormones?  

Women are concerned that hormones cause cancer particularly of the breast . 

What is the biggest medical advancement for women transitioning from peri menopause to menopause?   

The biggest advancement is the availability of bio-identical hormones which can be tailored to her specific needs as she transitions from peri-menopause to menopause. 

Is there a hormonal link to Alzheimer’s, Osteoporosis, and/or Dementia? What is the best way to combat that?  

Estrogen and testosterone both protect against the above . 

My family has known you, your practice for almost 30 years. I remember when you delivered babies. So, when and why did your practice shift to Women’s Wellness?   

We shifted our practice to assist our patients as they aged and matured. I ceased delivering babies in 2010 and focused our practice solely on menopausal wellness since that time. 

What would you say is the most important message for women facing their 40’s plus, and with regards to Women’s Wellness?   

The transition into the forties should be met with excitement, anticipation and a awareness of the anti-aging options that are available.

With bio-identical hormone replacement, you use natural plant derived bio-identical compounded hormones. Can you explain the benefits of plant derived bio-identical compounded hormones?   

When the plant (yam) is used, the hormone produced is chemically and molecularly the same as  naturally produced hormones. The body receives these hormones as their own. 

What is your favorite way to unwind and relax?   

I love a walk savoring the glory of nature.
