I'm in menopause, recently, whole food plant based since 2020 or very minimal animal products (cheese, butter egg in baked products, or pepperoni pizza for example), 2x per week if that, never had a hot flash that I had to take off layers, fan my face or know it was happening! Seriously! Unless I'm one of the few lucky ones that wouldn't experience them genetically, I totally believe it is because of my diet, 100%. No headaches, fatigue, nothing to complain about.
I’m longtime soy eating vegan, 3 years post menopausal. My hot flashes/night sweats aren’t bad, compared to what I read some folks’ descriptions of their experiences. I’ve tried the addition of soybeans and very low fat foods only that Dr. Barnard recommends, for almost a year, but didn’t notice any differences. I’ve tried various things, and nothing has stopped the symptoms, and there’s Lots of symptoms related to menopause.
In the commonly used botanicals list nobody included ginger - we use it to reduce pain and inflammation naturally, and turmeric. Also ground flax & chia LADIES these are your new best friends along with green leafies & cruciferous veggies for great health. 🥦❤ Don't be discouraged by the 12 week part of the soy studies as it can work a lot faster but please stop the dairy. Dry soybeans batch pressure cooked then frozen in 1.5c portions can be defrosted for three days of 0.5c servings which kick hot flash butt, included in any meal like any bean or blended into soy milk or a shake
I had zero traditional symptoms. What I did get was giant kickstart for rheumatoid arthritis. Yippee. Still eating soy but not sure if it's having any effect.

Hi, @meriembelkass5004! Fenugreek does have benefits for menopause symptoms. More on that here: nutritionfacts.org/video/fenugreek-benefits-for-sexual-function-painful-periods-and-milk-production/ It has other health benefits, as well, for both men and women. Everything on our site related to fenugreek may be found here: nutritionfacts.org/topics/fenugreek/ I hope that helps! -Christine Kestner, MS, CNS, LDN, MPH, NutritionFacts.org Health Support Volunteer
I have seen other videos with plant based doctors recommending upping your bean intake during menopause. I think all beans help, but soy does the best job.
Soy can help in a supportive diet but it won't actually stop hot flashes and is not as good for menopause as this video claims. If it was that good my doctor would be suggesting soy not HRT.
Does this mean that, conversely, if there is a lack of progestone (antagonist of estrogen), it is anything but advisable to consume soy products? And the whole statement that soy products do not accumulate as estrogen in the body is simply wrong? :-O
Очень плохо, перестаньте относиться к женщине, как к инкубатору, мы тоже люди. Да, соя повысит шансы родить, но может вы дадите честный выбор женщинам: жить для себя или рожать.
It does not. Dairy products probably because of estrogen naturally produced in breast milk. Not good since it plays with mens testosterone. Soy however, protects by producing phyto estrogen so it blocks foreign estrogen from entering.
It comes from a single case study where a man was drinking a gallon of soy milk daily, which is over 1000 calories from soy milk alone. Daily. Hasn't been replicated since or come up in soy feeding studies. No studies I'm aware of show any negative effects of soy on testosterone levels. Way more likely to be allergic to soy that to get gynocomastia from it, statistically speaking.
@@galkinp i think you didn´t listen to the vdeo. If soy increases estragenlevls in women it does the same in men. And the and the general statement you made belongs to the soy industry to prevent soy from being no longer consumed and disdained, since most other people m/f do not need extra estrogen in their bodies, on the contrary, it has a detrimental effect -> more fat, man breasts , sometimes hair loss to the point of baldness, aggressive behavior and much more.

Fat is good for you.. plant fats in general..

Do you soak them overnight before pressure cooking?
Hi @@Angie14107 usually yes but if I forget to soak them they just get cooked for a longer time
Very irresponsible suggestion. Stopping dairy will deprive women of many nutrients necessary for protection against osteoporosis for one thing.
Nice to see the PCRM-Barnard medical center studies in there!
I do both. HRT and soy.
I've been taking isoflavone capsule, my hot flashes gone!!!! I'm sleeping very well. 🎉🎉
Yes. Once I started eating soy I saw a significant drop in mine.
Soy is so underrated by most. I had tofu yesterday.
soy is full of estrogenic compounds (phytoestrogen). very bad for men unless fermented.
Soy isoflavones are also excellent for prostate health in men as they block dht build up
Fascinating! Thank you so much
What about sprouted soy, since sprouted is the most beneficial way to consume most beans/seeds/nuts. 🌱 💪
I had zero traditional symptoms. What I did get was giant kickstart for rheumatoid arthritis. Yippee. Still eating soy but not sure if it's having any effect.
what kind of diet are you on?

I love this channel!
Me too!
What about taking a heaping teaspoon og fenugreek a day,or 6 grams to overcome menopause symptoms,i have read that it helped a lot!

Can I have hashimoto’s and am on Synthroid … can I consume soy foods ???
I have seen other videos with plant based doctors recommending upping your bean intake during menopause. I think all beans help, but soy does the best job.
I eat nearly every day whole cooked soy beans as a Snack (and chickpeas).
I find it rather hard to believe; this is the same man who said that coca-cola is healthier for you than dairy.
Soy can help in a supportive diet but it won't actually stop hot flashes and is not as good for menopause as this video claims. If it was that good my doctor would be suggesting soy not HRT.
And are soy foods like soy burgers etc ok

Makes hot flashes worse, don’t do it.

Does soy make men have boobs?
No, but beer can make men boobs.
