You make me so happy. I love knowing that I'm helping you. If you watch my videos in order, beginning with the very first one, I guarantee that you'll understand everything. And I respond to all comments here on TH-cam daily. Keep watching, my dear.
Oh, Veronica, I am so glad that this has reassured you that what you're experiencing is normal. And, if you really want to understand everything, just watch all the videos ignorer, You'll be shocked at how everything makes perfect sense. If you need me for personal help with anything, just schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Judi! I wish I could hug you. Thank you so much for this lovely and loving comment. Yes, you know that I will guide you through menopause and have you laughing all the while.
I am lucky too that I found your videos and your book at 53; I wish I had discovered earlier. With your "menopausal zest", your mission to educate women about this time in their life will be accomplished. Forge the road ahead Dr Taylor, I'm liking it :) You are an inspiration.
Well, if women weren't in denial about menopause, and weren't so gullible to all the fear and misconceptions, I would. I really hope to change the future for all women.
That is so sweet of you to say so, and so brilliant of you to realize that menopause is about so much more than hot flashes! I love doing this for you.
6:26 Absolutely correct Ma’am! 100%. I was also treated for depression and given a ridiculous diet of homemade powdered small fish to put in the Japanese miso soup! I am still laughing out loud! Keep on MenoBarb! I love you to pieces. A in Japan.
I was just talking to Ed’s daughter about menopause and she was so grateful to know she could watch your videos (in order) and still have time to catch up! Thank you, Barbie, for saving my life.
Well, I love saving your life. And, just think: You've just passed it forward by telling Ed's daughter about this education. It will save her life, too. You are such a good person, Maria!
I am so glad these videos are helping you. If you start with video #1 and watch them all in order, you will definitely understand everything and get the menopause eduction you deserve. Watching them randomly will sabotage your entire menopause education. And if you ever want a shortcut or want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME
Nope. No groans here. I don't shoot the messenger..and she brings both sides so well why would I? :-) You are the ray of sunshine and truth. TY so much for being that person, this was a hard calling and your class prep is extreme - - I'm so glad you do it from love.
You're amazing. You're style is funky. You entertain us with humor and your props. You're fun to watch and learn. I'm trying to find time to read the book, but I'm packing to move and life is insane. Ya, add COVID and another medical problem to solve, life is chaotic You could easily get a part time job teaching medical students. I wish I could find a gyno like you for my annual cancer screening and to get my hormones, ! I'll hope the one I find is good and knows a fair bit about menopause.
If you ever have a consultation with me, I'll tell you precisely how to find just the right menopause manager FOR YOU. Do not "hope" they'll be right for you.Make sure they're right for you.
Hi, I will need to catch up starting on video 77. I'm so impressed with all this information on menopause. It's a topic I need to understand and educate myself and friends on. I'll be watching next week Barbie. Hugs! Robin L.
You will really love watching the videos in order. In fact, most women who do get so hooked that they "binge." You'll find yourself so thirsty for more knowledge ... especially when it all makes sense and builds in such a gradual, logical manner.
Hearing that makes me very happy. I think menopause should be the very best time in your life. And it is if you know how to manage it. I love helping you, Pooja.
Thanks again for your wonderful, informative videos, Barbie. You touch on uterine cancer being caused by E. I'm trying to be good and watch all your videos in order before booking a consult. Do you expand on a future video about ET and other options specifically for someone who's had uterine cancer given it doesnt seem wise to take ET? Kind regards. 😊
I wish the self-confidence thing was true. After rising in my 40s, it is now plummeting to the levels of my early adolescence. Worse, because back then, at least, I could hope things would improve someday.
They can IF you have enough of an education to warrant confidence. That's my goal with this menopause education. Think about it: You have more control over your hormones at post-menopause than you ever have.
I've made one video already that address men (video 71). But, better than that, get him my Menopause 101 for Med DVD from my website (MenopauseTaylor.ME). That's the best education he'll get.
Do you do still do seminars? Yes I am watching these videos in order. #146 now watched! I am so grateful for your menopausal zest and wanting to help women in menopause. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. When I saw the title of this video I was thinking to myself that I am not liking my bigger abdominal appearing. 😖
I have converted the entire seminar into webinars (a set of 15) and DVDs (a set of two). The seminars were such a huge ordeal to set up. It took one full day to set it up, and they lasted two 6-hour days, which was brutal for my arthritis.
The risk increases for breast and ovarian cancer with both progesterone and estrogen replacement, is that correct? Or is it only increased if you use estrogen and progesterone replacement cyclicly rather than steadily (same amounts of each) per day?
No, no, no! You have ALL your facts ALL WRONG. And they are sooooo wrong that I cannot even begin to correct them in a comment box. But I can in a consultation, which you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all onliine.
@@MenopauseTaylor I was asking a question based on what you said at 9:00-9:45. In summary, as I understand it: Estrogen causes uterine cancer, progesterone prevents it. Cyclical progesterone and estrogen cause breast and ovarian cancer. So my question was: how to prevent ovarian and breast cancer when supplementing with HRT? Is it by NOT cycling them and taking them regularly?
Many women have anxiety as a result of estrogen loss. Post-menopause marks the time when you lose your estrogen. But some have it during peri-menopause. It's all over the continuum.
Hi Dr Taylor, l was watching and l was not sure about what you said that causes breast and ovarian cancer. I started HRT in Dec. my migraines are almost gone and l feel so much better. But l am so terrified of getting breast cancer. Pls help.❤️
My Dr recently prescribed Imvexxy & Reveree suppositories for vaginal dryness. I was also told I have stenosis of the cervix. What are your opinions of Imvexxy stenosis of the cervix?
It's a fallacy that hot flashes are the most problematic symptom for women at menopause. Hot flashes are just the one they'll talk about. The biggest problem is vaginal dryness. And with vaginal dryness comes many other problems ... including vagina SHRINKAGE. Here's how it goes: Your vagina is a tube that has very think skin and very wrinkled walls that are very lubricated. Then, when you lose your estrogen at menopause, the wall gets paper thin, the wrinkles disappear, and the lubrication dries up. This all adds up to the simple fact that your vagina SHRINKS at menopause ... unless you use estrogen to prevent it. The thick wall, wrinkles, and lubrication are what enabled you to use your vagina for intercourse and delivering a baby. But, without estrogen, you can do none of those things. Your vagina is extremely selfish when it comes to estrogen. It wants tons of it ... more than the other parts of your body. So, even if you're taking estrogen that travels throughout your body and meets your other needs, your vagina may still be dissatisfied. That's they there are estrogen preparations that are only for local use in your vagina and that confine themselves to your vagina (meaning they don't send the estrogen throughout your body.) All the estrogen creams fall in to this category, as do Vagifem vaginal tablets (which is the same thing as your Imvexxy) and the Estring. The Femring gives both your body and your vagina estrogen. The Reverse is noting but a vaginal moisturizer. It does nothing to preserve your vagina or prevent it from shining, One of the things that happens to many women is that their vagina literally seals shut. Cervical stenosis is an entirely separate matter. If you watched video 7, I taught you about all the anatomical structures of your reproductive tract. Your cervix is the door to your uterus. It looks exactly like a bagel: round with a hole in the middle of it. That hole is the door. And, just as you've seen bagels with open holes and bagels with closed holes, that's exactly what your cervix does. The hole opens and closes to let things in and out of your uterus. Cervical stenosis is when the hole is permanently closed, usually due to scar tissue. So, nothing can go into your uterus or get out of your uterus. Cervical stenosis has no effect on your ability to use vaginal estrogen. You should not connect the two things. They are entirely separate matters. If you need more personalized help, you can schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
In your opinion, is it OK to get your progesterone from the Mirena IUD and then use Estrogen lotion? I’m only 44, peri menopause and don’t want to get pregnant 😬 and can’t do BCPs. Thanks again for a great video!
Absolutely! And the great thing about the Mirena IUD is that progesterone does not circulate throughout your body and make you feel yucky like all the other progesterone options do.
Well, then something isn't right. Either you aren't on the right dosage or you're on a formulation that contains a progesterone that is making you too fatigued. This is precisely the kind of thing I can help you with in a one-on-one consultation. If your HRT regimen is working well for you, you should feel fantastic. For a consultation, go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule.
Thank you! We head back to the States in June. (Military) I will definitely contact you. I know at this stage in life health is comprehensive and includes exercise, diet, sleep, stress control, relationships and spirituality, along with the right cocktail of hormones and vitamins.
Exactly. But you have to tailor all these things to YOU and your reality. That's why it's of no help when people listen to sound bites telling them that "This is goof for you," or "That's bad for you." Everybody is different. I help you apply everything to YOU.
Well, I guess it's for the same reason teenagers crave carbs and pregnant women crave pickles! But, I really think that the stresses that are present at midlife contribute a lot.
I won't get tp the craving videos for a loooooong time. And craving alcohol is a very common symptom of menopause that women don't talk about. You may want to have a consultation with me. This is serious stuff, and I'll help you with it. If that interests you, just schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I'm lucky, I found you at the perfect time. Thank you.
I love it when I get comments like this! My hope is that every woman will find this education before she needs it.
Praise God that I found you.
