- There is more evidence that women can naturally reduce uncomfortable hot flashes by changing their diet.
The results of a second study of dozens of hot flash sufferers confirms that eating a plant-based diet that is low in fat is about as effective as hormone replace therapy. Dr. Neal Barnard discusses the eye-opening results and why soy can be especially powerful for minimizing or even eliminating hot flashes.
He joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast with the results of his research and the changes women can make to find natural relief from hot flashes.

Thanks to both of you. I went 75% plant based about three months ago and my hot flashes is almost totally gone. So grateful 😊
Thank you so much for doing these studies. After hearing about your first study (we were already WFPB) I started eating the soybeans. After about a week my several hot flashes at night nearly completely vanished. Sometimes I don’t eat the soybeans and after a few days I will start flashing again. Then I realize need to get back on track and in a few days back on soy they stop.
I make Ranch dressing for salads, “cheese” sauce over broccoli, creamy potato and kale soup all made by blending up the cooked soybeans with water and different spices. We use them in place of cashews in recipes for creamy things. I cooked a huge pot of them and portion them out into 1 cup and freeze them so we always have some ready for a quick defrost and into the blender.
Thanks for the ideas! With the weather cooling off, I just can't do smoothies anymore (that's how I was getting my soybeans delivered)and the flashing resumed, even with tofu making a frequent appearance in my diet. Definitely will use then more as a sub for cashews in creamy dishes. I hadn't thought of that. Gracias!
Do you have to make sure you include 1/2 cup soybeans per day or does less work? What is your ranch dressing recipe?
Thanks for the tips!! I got soy beans but this tempeh is soooo delicious I haven’t used a different form yet… I was amazed on day 7 when I didn’t get a hot flash!!!! Just AMAZED
It worked for me! Vegan, low fat, and soy every day in all kinds of forms. Tofu, edamame, tempeh mostly. Less common and less severe hot flashes within days.
This worked for me but it took almost 4 months (I hate to admit that I wasn't very strict in the ''low fat'' part of the diet). From one flash every 30 minutes (every 2 hours at night) 6 months ago, I'm now down to ..... ZERO! I've got my life back without having to go the HRT route and I couldn't be more thankful to Dr. Barnard, Chuck and this channel in general. Even my doctor was impressed, she asked for the study to share it with her other (peri)menopausal patients.
I was just told the reason I don’t have menopause symptoms was because I eat a vegan diet. Here I am to see if there have been studies and there have been. I will just continue on with what I’m doing. 💚🌱 Thank you.
I saw one of your podcast on TH-cam and decided to follow u because my cholesterol was elevated, borderline diabetic, blood pressure was also high. I became plant based eater from February 2022. I had my annual physical 2weeks ago and the good news is everything I mentioned was perfect ( my doctor’s words). Since then I’ve not come down from my high. So guys plant base diet works and I thank u guys for your podcast advice. Keep up the good work. God bless you. 🙏🏾
I started getting hot flashes a couple weeks ago and I was already on a plant based diet, I started eating Tempeh every day (about 5oz a day) and on day 7 I had NO HOT FLASHES!!!! I was getting them every two hours 24/7… it was horrible!!!!! I’m sticking with soy!!!!!
I've added a half cup of non gmo edemame and keeping my saturated fat intake low daily....it has made a tremendous difference!! Thanks for all the great info always!!
Thank you both so much 👍I learn something new every time I watch your interviews🙏 and of course I cant wait to see chucks tie and shirt color combination😇
I am more than happy to be part of a study for hat flashes 😊
I have been on bio identical hormones for years... I was one of these people who became disabled by hot flashes, sleeplessness, irritability, I couldn’t function. I have been on the Wiley protocol for 16 years. I exercise , I eat vegan. I feel great !
I was one of them too and nothing worked for me. I tried everything for years. But low dose bioidentical hormones and a high raw mostly fruit plant based diet had been the combination that has me feeling normal again. Every woman's menopause is different. There is no shame in needing help so that you can function normally .
Thank you so much for this interview. I have been WFPB for years and I credit this with getting me into remission with Ulcerative Colitis. I am also post menopausal and using a low dose HRT. My hot flashes ( we call them flushes here in the UK ) were extreme but have faded over time. Unfortunately I still have ongoing menopausal symptoms so I will be adding soya beans to my diet to see if this helps.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Do y'all have any video shows on dealing with Osteoarthritis or Needing Hip Replacement? I have just started the Plant Based Food Plan, after watching What The Health!! I am 61 years old and was pretty much told my hip is deteriorating and if Hip replacement is not for you, then I am out of Luck!! I have lived in pain for many many years.
2 weeks into Plant Based and I can at least sleep in my recliner, all night!!!!!! I do not take any medications, just Tylenol when needed. Any Suggestions? I have just recently found y'all and have watched LOTS of the videos!! Great Information!!! Thank Y'all!!!!!
I'm a stage 3 breast cancer survivor. I'm in my final year of aromatase inhibitors for a total of 10 years. Thank goodness only 1 more year. I'm so grateful to be a breast cancer survivor but I have to say the hot flashes have been a total BITCH (frequent and SEVERE initially)!!! Plus the associated weight gain. I started a WFPB on January 1st including soy. They are indeed greatly improved. It's so nice to be able to sleep through the night.
It's the soy beans. I have been low fat vegan for years but had hot flashes Tofu, soy milk etc don't do the trick. Cooked soybeans did in days. Thanks for the invaluable tip.
What about natural progesterone instead of soy phytoestrogens???
Any advice for a 30 year vegan, now going through hell with symptoms. I eat low fat, lots of fruit and veg. No alcohol, no drugs, no smoking always worked out. Drink water first thing in the morning, I was considering taking HRT and found a vegan version. My symptoms are controlling my life
O_O You're thirty and you're getting hot flashes??
Thanks
Beets help too!😊
No oil is one thing, no fat is quite another. 🥑? Seeds? nutritional yeast? Those are good for you.
says who?
Nutritional science. Seeds are contain B vitamins, omega 6, and calcium.@@cailllou25
I've found that increasing my protein intake has significantly reduced my hot flashes. Going vegan and cutting out alcohol didn't help. I'm now having over 120 grams of protein per day by taking pea protein and eating a couple of 100 grams of seitan per day. It's made a huge difference to my strength, energy levels, and my skin. I eat a bit of tofu but probably not enough to know whether it made any difference. The added protein appears to have been the solution for me.
What made you try increasing protein for hot flashes?
@@Elizabeth-dg8dn I read that as you age you should increase your protein intake as you start to lose lean body mass. I started strength training with resistance bands to build more muscle and increased my protein intake for those reasons. The hot flashes have almost stopped entirely and I was plagued with them for over 10 years, with some days in excess of 20 of them. I didn't expect that a side effect from eating more protein would stop the hot flashes. I wonder if those women who have experienced less flashes after consuming more soy are really benefiting from the increased protein intake and not specifically the soy itself. But everyone is different;0).
I am having the exact same experience! 🙂
@@dorzhowe1305 Or maybe you're not really benefiting from the extra protein, but from the exercices, have you thought about that?
@@cailllou25 I've always exercised but up until recently it was mostly cardio and varied from one hour a day to six depending on what I was doing (hiking/bike riding on the longer days). It takes a bit of time to grow muscle from weight training so I don't know if altering the type of exercise I do has made a difference . I have seen a lot of overall benefit from increasing my protein intake though.
I am having so many hot flashes, I am vegan, and this hot flashes started 3 weeks ago. Does cooking with oil can increase this symptom?
Why are there never any links to the studies Dr. Barnard cites?
I tried his approach and for me, my hotflashes got worse. 😐
Because there is Google out there?? The studies are easily accessible online and free of cost!
As an oncology nurse, I have a lot of patients on hormone blockers (prostate/breast cancer patients). I was wondering if suggesting more soy to those patients experiencing a lot of hot flashes is appropriate. I wasn't sure if true menopause vs medically induced hot flashes can be managed the same, or should be handled differently. Thanks
Since soy is healthy in general, there is no risk in recommending people eating soy.
@@k.h.6991 nothing is ''healthy in general''. Not even water!
I’ve been on estradiol for the last year. I am going to give this a try and wean myself off of them!❤❤
Soy beans didnt work for me. I tried it for 2 years. I have awful hot flashes. Whole food plant based for 15 years. Its a bummer
That's a shame. :(
Are edamame and soybeans value plus or minus the same. Any suggestions if osteoporosis what to eat or drink I am plantbased for 3 years I don't want to go on tablets it upset my tummy alot 😊
How are you cooking or seasoning g veggies if not using oil?
water and spices.
Does it have to be sou beans or would miso and tofu work?
It truly has to be soybeans, or organic edamame beans! Miso has so much salt, it can increase blood pressure and clog arteries if you ain't careful.
@@thatcanadiangrandma edamame are the light (young) version of soy, they don't work as good.
Is it common for a 52 year old man to have hot flashes? What could be the cause
Your take on taking hormones is not accurate bc you are referring to synthetic hormones. Most doctors don’t understand bio identical hormones replacement. Vegan diet is important to prevent chronic disease. Please dig a little deeper bc some women could benefit greatly from this! Thank you..
I'm so glad you said this and I'd like for this channel to interview vegan gynecologist that have knowledge about bioidentical hormones. Diet is very important but for that percentage of women where diet is not helping, they don't have to suffer and think they are doing something wrong. Plantbased diet and herbal supplements did nothing for my symptoms but bhrt gave me my life back. I suffered for 4 years before I did my research on bhrt and I couldn't be happier and there are so many benefits to bhrt preventing dementia , osteoporosis and heart attacks.
@@quietstormaps See, i feel better without them. I had to stop bhrt because they gave me heart palpitations and made me bleed. But soybeans and a completely wfpb diet did help.
@@thatcanadiangrandma I'm glad you found what works for you. My hormonal specialist has me on the lowest dose of bhrt, I did experience spotting for the first week, but it went away. Also bhrt along with a low fat high raw mostly fruit based diet is working wonders for me. Although I can't do soy because all soy products upset my digestive system, I have discovered that alfalfa sprouts have phytoestrogens like soy and I can tolerate them quite well.
