Waching daily Aug 29 2017

[Applause]

my life is shaped by a lot of events of

what the most powerful was somebody

doing these kind acts for my family I

was 11 years old we had a really really

tough Thanksgiving where there was no

money in no food and we would have

starved they always found a way to get

something but we weren't gonna have a

Thanksgiving dinner that's for sure

certainly not a feast of any sort and

now my mom and dad at the time were

fighting like cats and dogs and saying

things that once you say them you could

never take him back you know kind of

stuff I'm talking about and my momís we

met father about how he could even take

care of his own family and it was

horrible I have a younger brother and

younger sister I'm the oldest so I was

trying to keep them from hearing this

conversation and then a miracle happened

bang on the door I'm the oldest there

screaming and so I go answer the door

and I answer the door and standing there

is this giant man I was his little boy

and he's holding this huge box of food

and beside him on the ground was a black

pop with an uncooked turkey in it and he

said is your father home I said just one

open okay I was like unbelievably afford

I thought this is a gift from God this

is gonna change it all this can make my

mom and dad happy it's gonna be a

believable cycle all my father is

screaming at my mother through a closed

door to the bedroom door and I said dad

dad there's God's Authority it's cold

you answer the door I said I did he's

got to see us I kind of teased to trust

daddy kind of come so he said fine he

made one last yell at her and he walks

at the door and I'm waiting there just

can't wait to see his face

and my dad opens the door on his ass

standing head with his big box of food

that my father did not get happy he

looked in the span and he raised his

voice to what he said who look we don't

take charity and then he took the door

to slam at the man's face but the man

was a good-sized man he put his foot

there and smacked his foot down stucco

he said sir sir

this is not charity everybody else tough

times somebody knows you're having a

tough time and they want you to have a

magical Thanksgiving I'm just the

delivery guy he said please take this oh

my father said we don't take Jerry what

- slamming again and that's not the guy

put his shoulder against it so he

couldn't do it and him I thought of

cerium it's like he's two males starting

to get this intense mode and one just

trying to give a gift

I'm freaking and then the guy said

something that I'll never forget the

moments I wished he having said but he

found a way to force my father he's

holding this thing he looked at me and

then he looked at my dad he said don't

make your family suffer because of your

ego now my dad's level of energy

increased

but he was also trapped you get it so he

took the food slammed it on our table

and slammed the door on the man's face

in every Bank

[Music]

and I I'm know what to do part of me

wanted to cry part of me was crushed and

I watched my father storm off and went

on back to scream at my mother and I

remember that day just thinking you know

I don't understand them and years years

later I began to understand a little bit

what I do understand is that you look at

a person's life and it's like so much

life you can be joyous about like I

wanted to smile you know I mean even now

I could remember it I want to smile

about this great gift but now I couldn't

even smile cuz you were making me angry

and then I thought you know years I

figured out it our whole life is shaped

my decisions that's what we've talked

about today right but there's three

decisions you're making every moment

you're alive and the way you make these

three decisions shapes your destiny

first decision we're all making every

moment is what even a focus on what are

you gonna focus on

I realized that my father's life of my

lives ended a very different because we

made that day three decisions very

differently he decided to focus on the

fact that he has not fed his family and

the second question you gotta decide

every moment you're alive including this

moment what are uniform the song second

question as as you're focusing on what

does this mean what does it mean and the

bottom line on meaning is if you think

about it you get to make up the meaning

and most people pick the worse for

dumping that day my father cited that

focusing back he hadn't at his family

and I know what meaning he gave because

he sent it out loud over and over again

that he was worthless because he had not

taken care of his family and then the

final most important decision you make

every moment you're alive what am I

gonna do what am I gonna do and I'll

tell you decided to do he decided to

leave our family charlie thereafter

which at the time was it was the worst

experience of my life it was the most

crushing experience I felt has been so

many years now I don't have the same

feel

part of it is three years ago he passed

away but at the time I knew no greater

pain my family did no greater pain I

couldn't understand why I would leave I

loved him so much and my wife turned out

very different than him I was the only

one to go to his funeral no one else in

the family would go nobody want to be

part of it

he died alone of a disease called

connective tissue disorder and I can

tell you right before his death he got

palestin cuz he looked at me he said son

he said I was a bastard I didn't connect

with anybody and look when I'm dying

enough it's unbelievable so that same

day I made three decisions I decided to

focus on the fact there was food what a

concept I like that but what changed my

life was the meaning I gave it I decided

that day that what this means is that

strangers care and if strangers care

about me and my family I decided I was

gonna do as I was gonna care about

strangers and that completely changed my

life I promised myself something they I

do well enough to do this for other

families I was done for me and I didn't

wait till I was you know wealthy to do

it I did my first one when I seventeen I

remembered our seventeen I have my own

car I have some money and I decided go

on the greatest shopping spree of my

life at that point as I was gonna go

shop for two families for Thanksgiving

and I was gonna go do four families was

done for me so many years before it was

the most euphoric experience I took two

baskets I went to the manager of the

place I told him I was gonna do and I

said I want you to give me a discount

you be my partner give me 10% cheap

bastard

that but it was so cool I got two of

everything right because I want to give

enough food for a family for two or

three days and have an unbelievable

feast then I called this church in the

barrio area and I said listen I want to

go take care of some families that are

too proud to come to the church and get

food so they might suffer can you

recommend some families and they gave me

two families so then I wrote a note

because I thought you know what I'm

gonna put on old jeans and a t-shirt and

I'm gonna deliver this I'm not going to

get the acknowledgement but I do want to

see the faces right so all go is the

delivery boy which is easy I look like

one and but I wrote this note and I

wrote I kind of wanted to get upset like

my father did Sarah this note and I said

this is a gift from a friend please know

that you're loved I want you to have an

extraordinary Thanksgiving you deserve

it please accept this gift and then I

put under it I said if you can someday

do well enough to do this for one other

family and pass on the gift and put love

a friend and then I realized I was going

to an area that was more Latino and I

don't speak Spanish I thought I got a

friend to write on the back and Spanish

so I could flip it around of those

challenge so I got one of my buddy's old

vans

so I need a little room put all the

groceries in and I drove to this house

and it was not what I expected it was

more I got this house and I got two bags

of groceries and I banged on the door

door opened and it's one about this tall

stares up at me like this right and I

said hi and his very office students

beginning English and she let out a

scream when she saw the food and by the

way this woman had five children and a

husband what I didn't know is the

husband who left her three days before

with no money no food and five kids so I

got these that says she screamed she

grabbed me sir Holloman acting like

kissing right and I said no her uncle I

said the delivery boy delivery boy and I

was seen understand a word I'm saying so

I reached in the pocket they gave her

the note flipped it over she got it in

Spanish and then she started to bawl so

then she came and start kissing again no

no I'm the delivery boy a little you

know try to show her and she goes no no

gift from God gift from God come on

trying up the ball so I'm like you know

what do I put this and I'm doing

everything hold it together I smiling

but I want to cry and she disappointed

wasn't a big house it's like a room so I

went over and I put the stuff on there

just as I'm trying to put stuff on there

I hear these screams also Bam Bam two

boys hit me one leg and the other his

two little guys just tack on me right

when they saw it when they saw the food

they went crazy when I saw the pumpkin

pie it was over

decides to come out with me come out

with me and so they came out we kept

bringing these groceries in and I'm

telling you it was like I don't know

describe it was the most before fun

passionate loving was like my little

brothers in hell that's we brought all

stuff in there laughs and then they were

lit up and then you know I done it all

it was time to go and I didn't want to

go on they didn't want me those one

little boy just wouldn't let go of my

leg he's kept looking up to me a hug

give me a fight you know but I had to go

make the other delivery so uh I just won

I said you know I've got to go you know

and she said ok whatever her language

was I don't know what it was but I knew

it man okay right so I went to the leave

and then she grabbed my arm and she

started tears in her eyes and I and I

said I wanted to say you know Happy

Thanksgiving but I don't know Spanish

silent Feliz Navidad

feared it was closed and she started

last she went from crying the laughing

right and it's a grab gave me this big

hug and the kids giving his hugs and

other I got out and I walked off they're

all staying on the porch I got this

little band and I drove it out and turn

it around and I would turn around I

looked in the rearview mirror I was

feeling all this emotion building at my

body and I looked in the mirror and I

saw mama standing in the porch with her

kids all the kids my mama sitting there

crying hysterically and smiling from ear

to ear and I couldn't keep it together I

just I was right there stopped in the

street I started bawling and then

probably and I'm gonna just think you

know this is a beautiful thing you know

why is this making me cry and you know

wise it's great but why am I so

emotional about this and then I got it I

realized that moment not the worst day

of my life my father leaving could

actually be the best Airmotive

because of I am have that experience I

wouldn't be here today and now because

of that I'm get to live this life I have

the desire and the drive above I want to

get it the sweat and so I've really

realized that the worst day was the best

ended that was God's gift the gift would

have been their newest and as an old

country song that says thank God for

unanswered prayers it's a story about

this man wants his Prairie mines la

Orana wasn't fulfilled

[Music]

so so I tell you I tell you the story

couple reasons one is you want to change

your life figure out how your worst day

was your best then you'll change

anything because it is if you look for

it if you find the deeper meaning it is

you know there's something in you that

wouldn't be there without it and the

second reason is because I want to

recruit your soul not for your money or

business

I want to recruit you in this action of

going making a difference I want to

recruit you for you because I know if

you go do a few these things you'll get

hooked and you'll make it a ritual all

change your life you know whatever

things you do in your life this is what

it's really about and you know it won't

be long before it'll be Thanksgiving in

we still do this you know I start off at

first year I've had two families my next

year I've had four I'm gonna double it

next year I did eight which was a lot of

work and I didn't tell anybody I was

doing this I wasn't doing it for

acknowledgement as duties right but

after a while I thought I can use some

help so I got my friends together and

say you know what's that they're just

going to have in Turkey let's give

thanks let's go build baskets with food

great stuff let's deliver it to people

who will come and have a big dinner and

we'll talk about we're grateful for and

have our dinner and so we did it and it

became a rich one it grew and then I

dumped some companies how my employees

got involved and then about 14 15 years

ago I started my foundation the last

year we fed over a million people now in

nine countries around the world you know

our Christmas advanced image

students thank you thank you thank you

so I thank you for your applause I

wasn't telling you for that reason I

want to recruit you and you can give

your money but I'd much prefer if you

would just go deliver the food because

I'll tell you what's great

you'll be changed by that it's easy to

give money but we enter an environment

you give you don't give as the giver you

go so do every person but you're the

really the one that made it it'll

absolutely change your life

How the Brain Benefits From Exercise - Duration: 4:39.

Welcome to LearnLawBetter.

Have you been wondering what you can do to learn difficult material and retain it for

the final exam?

Today I will share with you some recent discoveries in neuroscience, which connects physical exercise

with improved cognition.

Hi, this is Beau Baez, and today I want to discuss how you can strengthen the neural

connectors in your brain so that you can learn law and retain information longer.

I picked up this information from Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and

the Brain, written by Harvard professor John Ratey, MD.

Interestingly, modern science is confirming what the ancients understood thousands of

years ago.

Dr. Ratey begins his book by quoting from Plato's Republic: "In order for man to

succeed in life, God provided him with two means, education and physical activity.

Not separately, one for the soul and the other for the body, but for the two together.

With these two means, man can attain perfection."

Dr. Ratey makes the startling claim that exercise has the primary effect of improving brain

function, and secondarily cardio vascular and muscle improvement.

In one long running experiment at an Illinois high school, physical fitness was incorporated

into the curriculum.

The result: a 17% increase in reading and comprehension.

At the same highschool, students took an international math and science test, where the Asian countries

typically outperform the rest of the world.

The students at this American highschool came in first for science and sixth for math, in the entire world.

Not bad for a world-wide competition.

This and many other studies demonstrate a strong connection between physical fitness

and academic achievement.

In additional to academic achievement, studies have found other beneficial results.

People who do exercise can lower depression, reduce violence, and help those with attention

disorders.

For example, one inner city school that added a physical fitness component to their curriculum

saw a significant decrease in fighting.

By the way, these studies have been replicated at schools in good neighborhoods and disadvantaged

neighborhoods.

In other words, regardless of your socio-economic condition or current class standing, you should

see an improvement in your academic results by incorporating exercise into your routine.

So what can you do to achieve some of these results?

First, you need to get your heart rate up to 80 to 90% of its potential based on your

age group.

Second, doing exercise in the morning has a positive effect on your learning all day

long.

Third, for maximum effect, work on your most difficult material right after the work out.

Time is of the essence here, so bring something with you and read it before you shower.

Fourth, more complex exercise provides even more benefits than something like running.

I suppose that if you can find someone to do ballroom dancing with in the morning, that

would be most effective.

Though not sure how many of us want to get up at 6 am to do the salsa or tango.

Now some of you are thinking, sounds great, but I don't have time to exercise.

So here's my question to you: with a potential 20% increase in your scores, do you really have the time

to not do this?

My recommendation is to start easy and at times that work with your schedule.

Early morning may not work for you, so do afternoons or evenings.

Every day may be ambitious, at the beginning, so start with two days a week.

The key is to start, make it a habit, a routine.

Also, make sure to study your most challenging material right after the workout for maximum

learning.

Let me know in the comments how this is helping you succeed!

you succeed, including my blog, newsletter, and exam bank.

Are You Busy? - Duration: 2:25.

Hello I'm Tony Mayo,

The Business Owner's Executive Coach.

There's a phrase becoming more and more common

that I'm starting to take as an insult.

I mean, when did it become a compliment to say to someone,

"I know you're busy."

How do I look busy? Do I seem harried, overwhelmed,

am I dropping the ball? Am I not fulfilling on my

promises and commitments?

Do you think I'm incompetent to what I'm trying to do?

Why would you assume I'm busy?

That's a _nice_ thing to say? (laughs)

I know, it's the culture we live in now.

But it wasn't always this way.

Heck, in my lifetime,

you could spot the really successful,

truly effective people,

by the fact they had time freedom.

They were relaxed enough to take on new projects,

to be creative,

to have really good conversations.

And, it could be that way again.

Hey, it was like that for hundreds of years.

Let's start making a change, because,

busy is for the bees,

not for effective executives.

Years ago I was lucky to have a really strong manager

tell me, that when he left the office in the evening

and noticed that someone was staying late now and then,

he knew that person was dedicated.

But, if he sees the same person

working away night after night, day after day,

he knew that person couldn't handle their job.

Is that the message you want to send by crowing about

how busy and over-committed you are,

that you can't handle your job?

That's not who you want to be.

You want to be relaxed.

You want to have the freedom to choose your next activity,

to know you're focused on the things that really matter.

You can rest, you can create, you can consult,

you can spend time with people,

and when someone comes to you with a request,

you don't have to prove to them you're too busy to listen.

You can prove to them that you're successful enough

to carefully consider it.

Because, busy is not success.

Busy is a symptom.

Thanks for watching this video.

I hope you enjoyed it,

that you apply it, and share it.

Easy American Slang: To bail - Duration: 1:06.

To bail.

To quickly leave, to abruptly leave, almost to escape a place you don't want to be at.

If you go to a party and it's dead, or very quiet.

You don't want to be there anymore.

You can bail, it's just to quickly leave.

You probably don't say goodbye, maybe to just a couple people that you know well.

However, with a slightly different meaning, to bail out on someone or something, means

to not meet or attend an event that you had planned or had told someone that you would

go to.

"How was your meeting with John yesterday?"

"Ah, he never showed up.

He bailed out on me."

Who knows.

Maybe it was on purpose or maybe it was by accident.

Either way, John did not meet his friend, he bailed out on him.

Give me an example in the comments.

About a time that someone bailed out on you.

And remember, subscribe to the channel and like the video.

It helps me and it tells you when the new videos are available.

Orientation to Wellness - Duration: 9:14.

Welcome to our Orientation to Wellness.

In this seminar you will learn, things like common themes

and obstacles that first year students face. Strategies

for your transition to university life. And also free resources available

for you. So what about common feelings

and experiences that students will face?

Some are moving away from your family home. Living in residence

or maybe even off campus for the first times. Developing new

friends and socializing. Leaving your high school friend group and

meeting a new group of people. Other common experiences

including dating, whether its a long distance relationship or maybe a new

one. And school pressures. New ways of studying,

new subjects, co-op applications.

And career and self-defining questions like - Who am I? And

Where am I going?

There's also common feelings that everyone will have probably things like

feeling fearful, but it will get better.

And excitement - so please enjoy yourself.

Sometimes you might even feel numb, and this will pass.

And you will also feel proud and successfull.

You've got this! You might also feel some loneliness

but you are not alone.

So what's likely to change? Things like your identity

Being away from your family allows you to further shape your own personal

identity in things like interests, religions, politics

and other things. Your independence. You may be

managing your finances or your own household chores, cooking and personal wellness

maybe for the first time. What about relationships?

You may find yourself in new situations, or defining yourself

in your peer group or romantically. What about

cognitive development? You'll certainly be learning new content and different ways of

thinking about things. And of course there will be stress.

You may need to learn new ways to cope with challenging life situations.

And how to cope with change.

It's important to integrate and get connected with

people and activities on campus. That is so important.

Focusing on school work is important, but it is equally necessary

to have a balance in your life. So it is important to meet new people

maybe even join a club and build a support system.

There are many supports and resources on or near our campus

to help, things like advisors and friends and mentors and others.

Stay connected with people

at home. So stay in touch with people who were and continue to

be supportive. People like parents, friends,

maybe your siblings, people you looked up to back home.

And ask for help when you need it. Some people struggle

with this. But making it on your own does not mean

never asking for help. It means deciding for yourself when

and how to ask for the kind of help that you will find

helpful and take that initiative.

Some people struggle with perfectionism.

And remember that everyone experiences setbacks or failure at some point in their lives.

Consider your mindset. What mindset are you

bringing with you into a situation?

So some research from Carol Dweck shows that there are two main mindsets

One is fixed. Where a student for

whom performance is paramount. They want to look smart

even if it means not learning something in the process.

But the Growth mindset, where a student who

focuses on learning and being willing to experience the effort and the

struggle and maybe the failures that are part of the learning experience

tends to do much better.

So what about some basic self-care tips?

Things like Sleep. Sleep is so important when you are trying to be successful.

It impacts your mood, your energy level

concentration. So try as best as you can to have

consistent bed time and wake up time and create a comfortable

sleeping environment for yourself.

Studies have shown that sleeping well can absolutely help with academic

performance.

Nutrition. Don't neglect your meals, especially in times of stress. So eat

regularly and pack healthy snacks when you're away from home.

Exercise is very important.

Keeping active on a regular basis. Even taking a stretch break

every hour while studying or taking the stairs can make a big difference.

And try to stay connected with the physical activities that you really enjoyed

back in high school.

Balance is so important. Keeping a healthy balance between mind, body,

and spirit. Even when you are busy with school deadlines

to make sure to schedule some time for activities you enjoy like

being with friends, exercise, or watching an episode of

your favourite TV show.

Become a student of self-care. Try a mindfulness meditation app,

watch a motivational video, or listen to a self-development podcast.

And try and app like Stop, Breathe and Think, or

Calm. And theres

a large list of resources that you can check out on the web.

And what about Campus Wellness resources?

There are a number of them. And of course Health Services offers

a variety of services, including:

You can actually decide

"I want more God"

and so my prayer

to prepare us

is that you would want more God

because what God has for you you can't do on your own

but my prayer is that the Holy Spirit would do something in your heart that

He hasn't done

and that He could give you an hunger that you haven't had,

take it to the next level

and that He would give you a faith and a vision for stuff you've never seen or believed God

for

that's what He has for me

I don't want to go back

so that's my prayer for you

A NAVY SEAL EXPLAINS WHY YOU SHOULD END A SHOWER WITH COLD WATER - Duration: 6:35.

A NAVY SEAL EXPLAINS WHY YOU SHOULD END A SHOWER WITH COLD WATER

BY JOE MARTINOAUGUST

There�s nothing like a warm shower when we want to relax or even warm up on a cold

winter day. The idea of subjecting ourselves to cold showers can actually seem crazy at

times given how luxurious it has become to enjoy hot showers. But the truth is a cold

shower can provide a lot of benefits that you may want to consider.

I�ve had many cold showers in my day, almost all by choice. It all started when I was a

kid and felt that the cold had a potential to heal certain things. Although I lived in

Toronto, Canada, and we had cold winters, I almost never wore a winter coat from the

age of 16 up until now (I�m 30). I�ve just always felt strongly about the power

of the cold and what it can do for mental strength and increasing your mind body connection

on a spiritual level.

Former Navy SEAL Clint Emerson, author of �100 Deadly Skills: The SEAL Operative�s

Guide to Eluding Pursuers, Evading Capture, and Surviving Any Dangerous Situation,�

explains why it can be healthy for you to end a shower with cold water.

Here are 5 great reasons to have cold showers regularly.

1. Improves Immunity & Circulation

Running cold water over your body at the end of a shower can improve circulation as blood

is sent throughout your arteries to surround your organs. It can be viewed in the same

way we run certain systems at high performance every so often to keep it maintained and well

oiled. Increased blood flow can also help certain skin and heart issues as well as lower

blood pressure, help clear blocked arteries and improve our immune system.

2. Improves Hair and Skin Condition

Hot water can dry out your skin and hair. Of course, it doesn�t help that there are

high levels of chlorine coming out of our showers which has a drying-out effect on skin

and hair as well. If you can run your shower colder or finish cold at the end, it�s a

natural way to keep your skin and hair from drying out as cold water tightens cuticles

and pores. This helps to prevent natural oils on the scalp and skin to be stripped away

so easily. By keeping a proper oil balance you will have soft, shiny natural looking

hair. This also helps to keep the skin and scalp cleaner as well.

3. Increase Alertness

Have you ever woken up early in the morning and felt tired hopping in the shower and as

you feel the warm water running over your body you want to jump right back into bed?

This is where cold showers can come in handy. As cold water hits your neck it causes you

to do that almost slightly shocked deep breath. This increases oxygen intake and also gets

the heart rate up which pumps blood through the body faster giving the body a nice natural

surge of energy.

4. Eases Stress & Depression

Cold showers have also been shown to help decrease stress levels. One study found that

exposure to cold helped decrease uric acid levels and increase glutathione, an antioxidant

considered to be one of the most important for a healthy body. The participants swam

regularly in ice-cold water during the winter months and it was found that they adapted

to repeated oxidative stress.

Another study found that cold hydrotherapy (i.e. cold showers) helped to improve moods

and had an anti-depressive effect with no bad side effects or creation of dependency.

Subjects were tested with one to two cold showers at 38 degrees Fahrenheit that were

two to three minutes long. These were followed by a five-minute gradual adaptation to make

the procedure less shocking.

5. Speeds Up Muscle Soreness and Recovery

A study conducted in 2009 found that people who rested or immersed themselves in cold

water after their exercise saw a decrease in onset muscle soreness caused by resistance

training, cycling or running. It was found that a 24 minute bath in water with temperatures

around 10 � 15 degrees celsius (50F � 59F) was most effective. Taking a cold shower after

your workouts would still have a positive effect on muscle soreness as well. The longer

you go the greater the benefit. Research also believe that alternating hot and cold at the

end of a shower after a workout may help reduce pain and speed recovery by decreasing blood

lactate concentration.

So how do you do it? Well you turn on the water cold and hop in.. sort of. There�s

actually some differing ideas on exactly how to take a cold shower and one of the ways

that I�ve used most is listed below from blog.iamgary.com.

Turn the water on, set to cold. Some people will tell you to start warm and decrease the

temperature slowly each time you shower, then start a little colder each day. Yes, that

method will eventually result in taking a cold shower but you�re going to miss out

on the heart-pounding exhilaration that you only experience fully the first couple times

you take a cold shower. It doesn�t have to be ice cold, just cold.

Feet first. Your feet will adjust to the temperature fastest so get them under the spray and work

your lower body under the water as quickly as you can. By the time the water is splashing

your stomach you�ll be looking for a distraction so�

Hands second. Get your hands and arms wet, then splash water over your torso. By now

your legs and front should be thoroughly wet. Head under! You�re going to be be breathing

heavily and involuntarily so be careful not to inhale any water through your nose or mouth.

You�re going to feel alright, like hey I can do this, but you�ve forgotten part of

your body� Back last. Millions of nerve fibres are routed

through your spine so getting your back wet is the hardest part. You�re going to feel

a lot of sensations, almost an electrical charge crackling up and down your back. Get

this wet last then finish washing and scrubbing. Good job, you�ve taken a cold shower.

Hormone Replacement Therapy and Sexual Function After Menopause - Duration: 2:40.

Hormone replacement therapy after menopause is the poster child for irrational exuberance

in the medical profession.

Rarely has a therapy that made so much sense from a physiologic point of view led to so

many conflicting conclusions when rigorously tested.

This week, another notch in the "pro" column for post-menopausal hormone replacement

therapy with results from the KEEPS study, which evaluated the effect of HRT on sexual

function after menopause.

Broadly speaking, this was a positive, study.

Of the 670 women who were randomized, either to oral estrogen, transdermal estrogen, or

placebo, those who got the estrogen tended to have better scores on the Female Sexual

Function Inventory – a validated survey which looks at sexual domains including desire,

arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain.

You can see here the scores over time.

I'm highlighting the transdermal estrogen group here because overall the effects were

larger than in the oral formulation.

That's actually a pretty interesting finding.

Oral estrogen undergoes first-pass metabolism in the liver, which increases the synthesis

of sex hormone binding globulin in response.

Transdermal estrogen doesn't do this.

You can see the profound difference in SHBG levels in this figure.

SHBG binds testosterone, which you definitely don't want to do if you are worried about

improving sexual function, so this study provides good evidence that the transdermal approach

for treatment makes sense.

But let's not get too excited.

There are some big caveats here.

First off, it's clear these researchers had taken to heart the potential risks of

HRT.

You couldn't get into this trial unless you were, first, within 3 years of your last

menstrual period, and second, free from even the vaguest cardiovascular risk.

Women with higher coronary artery calcium, smoking, obesity, elevated lipids, hypertension,

or diabetes were all excluded.

In fact, around 60% of women screened for this study were excluded.

And overall, the effect was pretty small, 2.6 points on the female sexual function inventory.

75% of women had low sexual function at baseline, this number decreased to 67% with transdermal

estrogen treatment, that's a significant improvement but it also means that you would

need to treat about 15 women with transdermal estrogen to get one person to respond.

In fact, subgroup analysis showed that the only women who saw benefit were the group

that had low sexual function at baseline.

That said, they were in the majority.

So we have clear, if modest, results from this trial.

What is unclear is whether patients start to see estrogen as a legitimate treatment

for low sexual function, or the sexual benefits of estrogen as simply a pleasant side-effect.
