Omg I died when you pulled out that squirt gun.😂😂😂
Dr Taylor, this made me laugh so much. I've been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now and you have taught me so much. My mother at the age of 56 broke her leg and after that her joints deteriorated and her quality of life went downhill. At 72 when she died, she looked like a 95 year old; her feet shuffling slowly behind a zimmer frame with bones like a china doll. I had no idea that osteoporosis was connected to loss of estrogen. I used to think that osteoporosis was just down to bad genes and there was nothing I could do. Recently I've started having hot flashes and night sweats and as awful as they are this is what's made me start researching the menopause, the symptoms have been a 'a shot across the bow,' so to speak. I've made an appointment to see my doctor as I plan to take whatever steps necessary to preserve my bone health. I'm so lucky to have found your channel. I just can't thank you enough for making these videos, you're an amazing teacher, an angel and so entertaining to watch. God bless you.
WAIT!!
BEOFRE you see your doctor, schedule a consultation with me. There is so much more to this than you can possibly know from a few of my videos.
In a consultation, I will tell you exactly what to say and exactly what NOT to say when you meet with your doctor. You have to know precisely HOW to go about getting what you want. That's what my consultations are for.
I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works:
1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone.
2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date.
3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages.
4) I will send you the document by email 48 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth.
5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want in order to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed.
6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use.
7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options.
The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request.
So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively).
I hope to meet you soon!
Dr. Barbie, you would be an amazing teacher for young kids who are approaching puberty! I remember back in the day, our health teacher taught us about this topic. You would provide important information AND by using your props and great personality/sense of humor, you’ll capture their attention immediately!
So many people tell me that. I know that there are quite a few young people (teens) watching these videos. I'd love it if that became the norm. I dream about a time when everyone has the benefit of health education.
I agree!!!!
Ok but women stop being able to give birth and men can get a woman pregnant well into their 70s...what gives....why can’t older women have a younger man and start a family in their 50s like men do? 🤪😳😜🥺🍋🧐
I have only watched 2 of your videos in the series. Thank you for sharing. I have an even higher respect for women. You all rock.
If you really want to get this education, start with video 1 and watch them all in order. You will be shocked at what you didn't know, and you will want to binge-watch because of all you're learning.
Marvelous 😄😄. Will be sending to my hubby to see 😝. Thank you again for all your energy and enthusiasm 😘😘
You are so welcome, Terri. It will be fun and informative for your hubby.
I Thoroughly enjoyed this one 🤣😉
This was very interesting, ❤
"Flabby Blimpy Pudgy", to describe male weight gain. Dr Barbie stop! You are going to have us giggling for days with that one 😂😂😂🤗
I must say that I really don't know how I come up with this stuff.
You're going to get tired of seeing all my thank-you's on here but thank-you again :)! I definitely want to be knowledgeable about and supportive of how my sweet husband is doing biologically/emotionally.
I will never tire of your wonderful appreciation. It helps me know that I'm doing a good job for you. Keep watching, my dear.
Nice to know there is male version too 😊 especially for Some men who mock women in this context.b
Good one!!!!
Oh those penis guns 😂😂!! Definitely sending this one to hubby ....👍🏼 he wants to know why do women live longer than men even though our hormones deplete but they have a gradual decline in T levels ... I told him it all boils down to stress.... thoughts ? I still would rather deal with andropause versus menopause ... at least I get Viagra ! 😂😂
Men are built for short, temporary bursts of energy. Women are built for the long haul. Once women stopped dying from childbirth, they started living longer than men.
Why does menopause make you feel like sh!t? I didn’t feel like this BEFORE puberty😕
Before puberty your se hormones ly dormant and had not started acting on your body.
Now, your body has needed estrogen for about 35 or more years. And, without it, your body cannot function normally. It's hormone deficiency.
You would feel horrible if you lost all your insulin or thyroid hormone, too. All hormone deficiencies make you feel horrible.
If you want my help in finding your best options, don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
Enlarged prostate
This is awesome, finally telling like it is!! LMAO 😂
Someone is stopping my cell phone from watching your video on andropause.
Sent this one and the next one to my husband. They were both great and informative.
Yea! You're educating everyone. I love that.
So informative, thank you 👍
You're so welcome. I love doing this.
I had to send my precious darling this one as well Now he will know what I was laughing about I hope he finds this information as useful and funny as I do
Most guys crack up at this video.
Where are the men in these comments 😊
My hubby watched most of the videos with me. You answer all of the questions he has! Your penis squirt gun is hilarious! My hubby has not shrunk and he is 53. I am 55. I think the male midlife crisis seems like it happens with men with more time on their hands. Not the aging part that happens to everyone but looking for other women, buying sports cars stuff like that. MY hubby doesn't seem to have too many of these symptoms. But he is patient and empathetic with me with all of my symptoms. Thanks again for your hard work! Goodnight!
I wish there were more men like your husband. I mean, menopause affects them, too. If they know what it entails, it makes things better for everyone.
When it's acting down 😊
You're the best! Can you tell us what you use on your beautiful skin??
Thank you, Cheryl. You'll be disappointed with my skin care regimen. I use Cetaphil lotion and Vaseline. I don't wear make-up, and I wear hats.
Can 50 year old men, should 50 year old men go on testosterone supplements to give them fortitude and strength to deal with stresses in life?
Dr Taylor, im now obsessed with your videos. Im looking into HRT for myself, but now Im concerned for my hubby. We are 1 week apart in age. I want him to be happy with aging as well. Do you know of a good resource for learning about & treatment 4 hormone changes for men? Thx 4 all you do!
For understanding your menopause, you should know that your hubby can learn what he needs to know by (1) Reading the last chapter of my book, or (2) Getting my Webinar called Menopause 101 for Men, or (3) Getting my DVD called Menopause 101 for Men.
If your husband wants to consider HRT for himself, he should see a urologist.
This is hysterical. Ive been faithfully watching all these videos in order. From tutorial 65, you've had me in stitches, Dr. barbie. This is the best fun ive had since corona. Thank you, Dr. B.
Thank you so much for enjoying my teaching style, my dear. I just love making these videos for you, and I hope you can tell I'm having loads of fun.
OMG 😂 this is sooo funny I called my husband dumpy 😂
You made me smile
It's fun to laugh & learn, isn't it!
Thank you so much for this! I am in a committed relationship. There is 13 yr age gap. He is 46. I honestly feel like he is going through this. Unfortunately, when he was in his teens he was forced to take steroids by his coach ( thankfully he was caught). It’s been a learning curve. My libido has changed since my twenties, but his is lower. We are both learning to redefining was sex and love making is for us. Your video has calmed my nerves. Thank you
I love it when this education reassures you.
So you're 59 or 33?
Barbie ou are so funny and your props :) !!!
I'm quite a goofball, aren't I! Maybe that's not such a bad thing after all.
You are not a goofball ! You are very unique special person. In this days it takes just that to make a person laugh which is way more difficult that make them cry or sad.
I guess your right about that. Thank you, my dear.
Love all your videos. This is one of my favs.
Yes, it is fun to turn the tables once in a while, isn't it!
HAHAHAHAAHAH! STIFFY AND IFFY!! Where DO you get your props??
I go to sex shops for some, anatomical model companies for others. And, of course, I make some of them myself.
I can deny that all you said is true,I remember being able to ejaculate 4 times with my ex and now I need a minimum of two hours to reload,it’s so discouraging,no wonder older woman leave their husbands for younger men.
Well, don't be so hard on yourself. Ejaculation isn't something on which women focus heavily.
@@MenopauseTaylor that made me feel much better 😊👍
@@mrgurwitz8832 I'm glad.
@@MenopauseTaylor one more question,I'm 46 I workout ,take vitamins and don't drink or smoke so how long till I stop having hot flashes,it driving me nuts.
@@mrgurwitz8832 No one can say. Anything is possible: They may go away. They may stay the same forever. they may get worse.
It's a complete myth that the symptoms of menopause are temporary. They are a result of estrogen deficiency. If you have no estrogen, you have the symptoms!
If I showed this to my husband, he'd just plain cry...
Well, if you show it to him in comparison to what happens to your estrogen, he'll think he's lucky. Men never lose all their testosterone, but we do lose all our estrogen. That's why we have menopause and they don't.
@@MenopauseTaylorwe will lose all of our oestrogen 😮 😢
But older women still look feminine
"always on" rofl :-)))
I try to be.
My precious darling didn't care for the vegetable juice so I'm drinking it now. He says I'm weird cuz I like spicy dark chocolate. I am weird thank you and it's really good. I added cyanne pepper to chocolate almond milk in a cute tiny wine glass tasted it and gave it to him. I believe he can tolerate this combination as long as I remined him. I haven't had those excruciating leg cramps since learning about phyoto estrogen so I really hope he can prevent it and not have such pain many mornings for several months as I did and it should help his overall health thanks for this wonderful education
You make me laugh, Christine.
Dear Dr. Taylor, what's your opinion on Tibolone? I know it's not used in the US, but still I'd like your take on it. I sent you a direct message some weeks ago, but I don't think you saw it. Thank you!
Hi Simone. Sorry I didn't see or receive your previous message. Tibolone is a SERM. I presented them in video tutorials 34 & 35. Tibolone is not very popular simply because it's not FDA-spproved in the U.S. But some women really love the benefits of Tibolone. Watch videos 34 & 35, and you'll see that each SERM has specific advantages and disadvantages. I think the whole goal with managing your menopause is to find options that are best for you, specifically. You want to find the option that has the most benefits FOR YOU and the fewest risks FOR YOU. Since no two women are alike with regard to either physical conditions or preferences, you get to tailor everything to your own needs.
Men can relaxed replace their testosterone abs so can women. Women need much smaller disses m doses then men.
Yes, testosterone replacement is an option.
OMG! Just found you and subscribed too! So so funny facts! Laughing so hard.
B,
Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. And you'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that you now do know.
Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know.
I respond to all comments here on TH-cam daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!)
And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time.
Thank you 😊
It's my pleasure. It always helps to know what's going on with your guy.
Men should get checked for hypogonadism, get in the gym daily, lift heavy weights, and go on TRT if needed.
Thanks for addressing this! I’m am currently living this with my hubby....he’s 68 and I’m 51 and still perimenopausal (with our surprise blessing that is now 9 😂😉). We’ve been together 30 years, so we are obviously embracing the craziness that we are experiencing together with some humor. The only bummer is my hubby won’t take Viagra.....😳😏 I would love you to further discuss possible help like you mentioned. Thank you for all your help!
Your situation is so very common. Tell your husband that it's a "Use it or lose it" phenomenon. A 68-year-old man who does not engage in sexual activity may very well become completely impotent within a matter of 6 months. I'm not kidding.
Thanks for this little piece of info my husband had unusual extremely painful leg cramps this morning much like I had the last couple years at.the shelter on bunks that I called.upholstered rocks.I learned recently this muscle cramping can be due to low estrogen.so I thought maybe at.57yo.he.might need some help in the hormone department so I got him some vegetable juice and cayenne pepper to add I hope this helps him I showed him this cute video of yours to give some perspective I'm rolling on the floor and he's saying "It's not funny!".He was however thankful I showed it to him.and I'm thankful to have found it
Your husband is so fortunate to have you taking care of him.
@@MenopauseTaylor I think he's beginning to realize this once again now that our lives are a bit more stable and I do most of the puppy care/training while he does more play/feeding
Hilarious
Something's not right with you
There's a lot that not right with me. And that is true of most humans.
PREACH 🙌🏻
You're one of those people who knows how to say so much in so few words. I'm just the opposite! I go on, and on, and on!
That was awesome thanks 💖💖💖
It's my pleasure!
I appreciate that I can make you laugh I'm so thankful to have found you
What about sleep disturbances during menopause/male menopause
Declining hormones cause sleep disturbances long before hormone levels get to zero. Males never lose all their testosterone, which is why sleep disturbances are so much more common in women.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you for responding. I have not found a video on your channel talking about sleep and hrt and non hrt options for sleep. (Including using oral progesterone before bed for sleep). Do you plan to make a video on this at some point? Thanks
@@boplop5406 I have not gotten to the unit on insomnia, yet.
But it is a myth that "progesterone helps you sleep at night." Instead, it makes you feel dopey and drowsy all day AND all night. Some women can hardly wake up in the morning.
Insomnia is a symptom of estrogen deficiency. Estrogen will make you sleep like a baby at night and wake up perky and fresh in the morning.
So, estrogen will make you sleep like a baby, while progesterone will make you sleep like a zombie.
@@MenopauseTaylor I have noted for some people they feel like a zombie but in my circles and for myself oral Progesterone is awesome for sleep!
Do you plan to speak about non hormonal options that may aid in sleep?
@@boplop5406 I will cover absolutely everything. This education presents all options in all categories.
Dr Taylor I have learned so much from you and appreciate your knowledge! However I was hoping for some real information on testosterone therapy (or if it’s even an option) for aging men. I remember when I was going through IVF, our fertility Dr told my husband he was extremely low testosterone, but nothing ever came of that. Now he’s 44 and feeling a lot worse about himself. Is testosterone an option for someone like him? While I appreciate all the humor, I was hoping for more education other than, sorry honey you’re going to get fat, old, your penis will shrink, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
I'm sorry this video has not given you what you wanted. I suspect that you have not watched my videos in order because I presented testosterone ages ago.
If you want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, I can do so in a consultation, which you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online. I do consultations with men, too.
I aBSOlutely love your teaching style!!!!! Thank you for making me giggle uncontrollably while I’m learning. You make it fun. I LOVE understanding the mechanisms and physiology as well as the chemistry 🤯👏🏼🤩🤩🤩
Thank YOU so much for appreciating my efforts, I love every minute of giving you this education.
Great video, certainly made me laugh. You are wonderful!!
Thank you so much, my dear. I think laughing and learning go very well together.
Hello from Greece.
Please i have a question.
Men at middle age or over 55 To avoid heart attack, Alzheimer's or Stroke ,must take a hormone replacement?
Men do not ever lose all their testosterone. That is why they do not have menopause. Their risk of heart attack is not due to loss of a hormone, like it is for women.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you Very much ...see you in Greece for vacation!!!
Ok so I played this on my Chrome book, a machine I use infrequentally living with precious psyco mutt. It ran perfectly on full screen captions on and picked up again after an advertisment. Nice.
Sigh of relief! Thank you, my dear.
@@MenopauseTaylor You're most certainly welcome. Thank you
My husband recently asked me more than once about male hormones and the aging process. I'm getting him.certain foods that I typically love but for me it's best to currently avoid. He's almost 58yo and curious about what tostostrone does in men around his age. I didn't want to spend the next hour finding the perfect article so I sent him this video. I told him to please appreciate the humor and take the information seriously. This video is so funny and helpful all at.the same time. You certainly have a way of presenting information. He thanked me without sharing any sort of opinion. Although I showed this to him once before I don't think he was expecting me to use it to help him understand what he asked me but it works. Now I wonder if I can ever use any squirt gun like to correct a kitty without laughing hysterically. I'm ok with that. Thank you.
You are very good for your husband.
😀😀😀
Dr. Barbie I thought you should know this video glitches out on 3 different devices. Both our phones and my tablet. I think it's the video itself you might need to give it some help so it can continue helping others.
Really? In over 5 years, this is the first I've heard of this. I am so, so sorry, my dear. And thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'll have my staff check into it.
@@MenopauseTaylor It's only been a few months that this informative and hilarious video hasn't worked. I tried it on my very old stupid smart phone a while back and it didn't run. So my husband tried it on his newer phone as well as my tablet so we figured out it wasn't just because my phone is old a finicky, but possibly the video itself. This entire education in order is such a beautiful gift to women's health as well as humanity. Thank you.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you Dr Barbie. I was able to play this entire video. However it's not perfect yet I couldn't get it to run on full screen. The captions work and it picked up again after an advertisement so that's a good sign. I really appreciate and enjoy this education and I want as many people as possible to benefit as well. I understand the importance and chronology of each episode. Your work is amazing.
@@christinealix7664 My staff ran it on 3 different devices, and said they all worked fine. Maybe it's a glitch with the age of your device. (What do I know? I'm a technological idiot.)
@@MenopauseTaylor That's great. I'm pleased to know it's working on your end. This world functions because we're all good at different things and you're absolutely amazing at what you do. May this entire education reach many. Thank you.
👏👏👏 I love you!!! 👏👏👏Thank you for making me laugh so much! Sending you love and fresh air from Argentina.
You are so very welcome, my dear. I think laughing and learning go very well together.
My husband is 64 with very little testosterone. He has secondary polycythemia so his hematologist won’t let him take testosterone because it raises his hemoglobin and hematocrits too high. He gets a phlebotomy when it gets too high. He has no sex drive and can’t lose his huge belly. So what’s a guy to do?
Been there myself.Low low testosterone at age 44 or so.NO sex drive for 5 to 6yrs.Sorry to my lovely wife.Maybe 3 times per YEAR and still she never cheated on me.I even suggested that maybe she should have got herself a boyfriend because I felt bad that she was missing out.Anyway finally clicked that if I didn't sort it my wife may leave me.I wouldn't have blamed her.Im great now.Better than great to be honest.My wife is happy.Very happy.3 to 4 times per week now.Please tell ur man to go and get it sorted.If he really can't do anything then you probably have a decision to make.Him an a life without or a life with but not with him
@@yyxy.oncesaid I’ve been married for 42 years. We’re 66. I wouldn’t leave him because of that at my age!
Especially scot heheheh
I just got this one to play all the way through. I paused it a couple times as my husband came in to tell me about the neighbours, our dog whatever, and the video picked up again on my new phone. I have difficulty with it on my tablet but it's another old device. I really appreciate you and this extremely valuable education and every video in order is so important. Thank you.
You are so very welcome, my dear. I hope the interruptions don't keep you from getting the menopause education you deserve. I love having you as my student.
@@MenopauseTaylor That was the only one that wouldn't play on my older devices. Everything else is great. Now if I can figure out how to screen shot your cool charts on this thing but I have the old phone with SD card for that. I love being your student and with all the crazy symptoms I feel amazing. Thank you.
@@nazarethmaeve596 You can print the charts by clicking on the link in the description box or going to MenopauseTaylor.ME.
@@MenopauseTaylor Yes I'm aware of this option that's great, however it's more convenient for me to use screen shots right now. Thank you.
Thanks he knows it. I also sent him #72 as well to help add some perspective. If he wants to freak out about it I can just mention bones hearts and brains and remind him that freaking out never kept anyone healthy.
So true.
