I was signing up for a Costco membership today and while I was standing at the counter, somehow Menopause popped up and well...I started talking about you and all the information you give us. Before I knew it, there were 5 women standing around me asking me questions and for your information! I’m your menopause poster child HAHAHAHAHH!
I'm shocked. You blew me away. If this was a male issue it would be mandatory to attend treatment. Why are we not more informed.? Once again thank you Dr Taylor.❤️
I just had my obgyn appt, and was told I've entered menopause. I got no help. It was strange. No mention of helping me with my loss of estrogen. I'm calling them, now, after watching your video. I need estrogen!
I just popped over after watching Angie's (Hot and Flashy) latest video regarding her menopause journey, and man am I glad I did! This information is gold! I've only recently began noticing menopausal symptoms, specifically memory loss and mental fogginess, and thought I was losing my mind. I have my annual OBGYN visit this month, so I'll be addressing the question of HRT moving forward. I, thankfully, do not have hot flashes, sleep issues or night sweats, or other physical symptoms associated with menopause, but the brain fog scares me. I've been on Mirena for almost ten years, so I wonder if progesterone has masked some of the other symptoms...? Anyway, this video is amazing and incredibly helpful. Thank you so very much for sharing!
Welcome to "Menopause University," Leslie. If you start with video 1 and watch them all in order, you will definitely understand everything. If you watch them in random order, you will sabotage your entire menopause education. And if you ever want me to tailor all the facts specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Barbie you have saved my life 🙌🏻 after suffering for 2 years with menopause yuck I went on HRT. Estrogen patches and a progesterone Rx cream. Soon to be a mirena iud for progesterone with my estrogen patches. I feel like ME again!!!! So grateful I don’t have to rough it anymore 😢!!! Thank you ❤xoxoxo 🎀
If you’d like a more efficient delivery of this menopause education, you should (1) Get my book, or (2) Watch the webinars, or (3) Watch the DVD entitled Your Menopause Your Way. They all give you the complete education without the fluff of the videos. My goal is to meet the needs of all women, regardless of their learning style, and regardless of their command of the English language. Many of my viewers speak English as a second, third, or fourth language. You may not care about them, but I do. I am the only person providing a complete and unbiased education on menopause. So, I’m trying to serve the needs of all women. I’m sorry I haven’t serve yours well. But I think one of the other options listed above will.
@@MenopauseTaylor I am truly sorry if my comment on your video made you feel as if I didn't like it or value it's content. I was mearly trying to summarise the message you delivered. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I love Barbie, shes a treasure. However, sometimes my brain fog is so bad I cant concentrate and lose focus. (Hypothyroidism). Some days I just need to get to the nitty gritty. Thanks Titia, appreciate it
Revolutionary. It is a crime that doctors don't pass on this information to their female patients in their 40s. For years, I complained to my family doctor about fatigue, hair loss, brain fog. I was told it's probably menopause, but was never offered any management options. Worse, I was never told that it's important to look to hormones to manage long term disease risks. Is that not a disgrace to the medical profession? Truly shocking. Dr. B, if I do a consult with you, what blood tests and other medical records would you need to optimize the consultation?
If you have a consultation with me, I will explain why the state of affairs with regard to menopause is as it is. And I will present ALL your options. Plus, I will explain all the benefits of taking HRT, all the risks of taking HRT, and all the risks of NOT taking HRT. You will have all the facts to make excellent decisions about your menopause management. You will be able to tell me all about yourself and submit any test results you wish for me to take into account. None are mandatory. The only tests fo importance are: Bone density results Mammogram results PERTINENT labs, primarily cholesterol & lipid studies, Thyroid labs I DO NOT need reproductive hormone levels. I look forward to helping you.
It is shocking, 1 out of 2 die of a heart attack. I was only focused on hot flashes. My doctor never told me anything about the diseases of menopause. Thank you Dr. Taylor for all you do. You are the most brilliant and informative doctor on the internet. I'm going to be scheduling a consult with you ASAP.
I look very forward to meeting you and helping you, my dear. This is the education all women deserve. But I math only person on this planet teaching rather than marketing or coercing.
Yes, you shocked me!! I’ve been literally going nuts for the last 3+ years and now 57 definitely going back to my old lifestyle. I can’t thank you enough. Especially, since heart disease runs in my family. 🥰🙏🏽💖
You will find that, if you start with video 1 and watch all my videos in order, you'll be shocked more than you can imagine. Most women have been walking around with their reproductive tracts all their lives without knowing the first thing about them. And if you watch the videos in order, you'll want to binge-watch because you will understand everything for the first time in your life. If you ever want me to tailor all the facts specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
OMG...You are correct!!! All I heard about were the hot flashes. I learned about depression, fatigue, weight gain and other "short-term symptoms" while going through post menopause. I am thankful that I came across your channel because I did not know about the other long-term/consequences. THANK YOU!
You are so welcome, my dear. This TH-cam channel gives you a REAL menopause education ... IF you start with video 1 and watch them all in order. If you watch my videos randomly, you will sabotage your entire menopause education. And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to you, don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I've just discovered you lately, Dr. Barbie, and have been watching your videos like a madwoman. Finally just went ahead and ordered your book and have devoured it! I've been watching in sequence but today, out of curiosity, I skipped ahead to #77 and this video and BAM! Suddenly it's all become crystal clear. I think this may be your most important video. I also think you should take your seminars on a world tour. You would pack stadiums and arena's ;) I would LOVE to attend one. Thank you for being invested in doing this good work. And you do it in such a fun, warm and engaging way!
You are really making my day. I so want every woman to have this education. I give the seminar only twice a year. It knocks your socks off, but it also does a number on my severely arthritic body. Please come to one soon. (The next one is September 22 & 23). I have eight 6-foot tables full of props and models, little boobies for you to feel, prizes, and more than you can imagine. But I don't travel with it. My body can't take it. I do have the seminar on DVD, and am currently converting it into webinar form. That way, women can have access to it no matter where they are. I'm trying to provide every educational service to every woman, no matter what her budget, learning style, or timeline. It's all on my website" MenopauseTaylor.ME. I love knowing that this is helping you. It should all make perfect sense if you keep watching the videos in order.
You are so very welcome, my dear. Start with video #1 and watch them all in order. I promise you'll understand everything if you do. And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
omg this was an eye opener. I am not yet peri menopausal but want to be very prepared. Dr. Taylor you are a godsend, truly. Every woman should watch your videos. You are saving lives one video at a time. Thank you so much.
Dr Taylor. I so much appreciate your education. I feel like you saved my life. I have a memo pause specialist appointment this Wednesday. You encouraged me to live a meaningful and empowered life. Hope all is well with you.
This makes me so happy, I love the confidence in your words. If you have any problem getting what you want, don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
I watch Angie on Hot n Flashy snd was directed here! Wow!!! I’m so happy I saw this! I’m 45 years old. Had a partial hysterectomy 6 years ago (still have ovaries). I’ve been having hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, tired all the time, etc for well over a year. I just had blood work done and my numbers came back saying I was right on the verge of being post menopausal. I decided well I made it through, I don’t need to do HRT! Until I saw your video. I’m now starting over and watching through them all!
You will be SOOOOO glad you started at video #1 and watched them all in order. You will discover all sorts of things you have all wrong (like your claim to have had a "Partial Hysterectomy," when, in fact, you had a "Total Hysterectomy"!) Don't worry, you'll get to that video early on. If you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I will be 52 in Nov and thank goodness I came across your channel. I started getting hot flashes 3 weeks ago and with your guidance I will be prepare and educated on making this a easier process for me dealing with Menopause. Thank you
Thank you so much....very informative. The reason women initially are only concerned about the symptoms such as hot flashes is because we simply don’t know to be concerned about these other issues. Now, we do thanks to you.
U changed my view about HRT, even I think like u ,I always discuss with my girlfriend's that only hormone can compensate for hormone loss ,I m hypothyroid nd my life was miserable without thyroxine,I got my life back when I started thyroxine, now m 44 and I know I will take progesterone if I need before menopause nd will definitely take oestrogen post menopause I love the way u say about ,if men lose testosterone ,they will replace before we utter the word replace,,that's so true Love barbie ,from india,you r godsent:)
Wow....you did shock me regarding loss of Estrogen and Alzheimer’s! My mother-in-law had it and it was horrible. Back in the day when she was postmenopausal, I remember the frustration she was having trying to get the right amount of estrogen in her body via her gynecologist. The whole house shook because her body was so out of whack. I wish she knew you back then...she would have had relief from watching your videos.
Exactly! I never want another woman suffer from ailments she can prevent simply by getting this education. If young women watch these, it will change the world for all of them.
This information is truly a shocker to me. I've been watching your tutorials in order. Every time you release new one, I have to hold myself down not to watch it yet till I watch all the other ones. I am trying to absorb as much as I can so that I can make best choices for me. Thank you so much for being there for us!
I am so glad to know this information and that I can share it with my friends and family. You are right, it is unbelievable that most women still think that they should avoid taking estrogen. I am fearful for my female friends who are menopausal age, because every one of them is convinced that is estrogen is bad for them.
Shana, I always say that I chose THE most unpopular topic on earth, and then made my TH-cam channel a classroom, of all things! But the rampant denial and ignorance of menopause is just ridiculous. And, unfortunately, it's life-threatening. Do everything you can to interest your loved ones in this education. You will be saving their lives, even if they don't know it. Be sure you tell everyone to watch all the videos in order. If they do, they'll get so hooked they'll want to binge-watch, and they'll understand absolutely everything. (That goes for you, too, of course.) Thank you so much for valuing what I do and for taking advantage of this education.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I am 1 year into menopause and today I went to speak with my Dr about estrogen therapy. She put me on a low dose of .5 MG of Estradiol daily but warned me of my increase risk of breast and uterine cancer and told me to take it as short as I can. I came out of office scared to death and thought I would research it some more. I am so happy to have found you. You make total sense and is the expert. After watching all your videos I learned that the benefit out ways the risk. I also learned that the dosage she put me on is not beneficial. I will start of with this low dose but plan insisting to increase to 1mg. Thank you so much again for helping us women.
You see! Now you know shat you're doing, and why. My goal is to present the facts, help you tailor the to yourself, and enable you to make wise, logical decisions that are right FOR YOU.
So good, Dr. Taylor! There's also the loss of testosterone! It'd be great if you did a series on testosterone replacement therapy for women. So many absolutely love it, in combination with ERT or HRT. It's particularily good for low libido, anxiety, mental clarity and even joint pains. 😊
I just love how you give us the cold hard facts and at the end you always leave us smiling or laughing.....So, my mom and all her female friends and sisters do not (nor ever have) taken estrogen or HRT.....many are still alive and well into their 70's without hormones....is it because some are on non hormonal options like statins, antihypertensives, aspirin, etc? Many do not even exercise, but most are vegetarian but not vegan.....just wondering because I know most women outlive men, but many do without the hormones....I also have not seen much of Alzheimer's in the Indian culture....more heart disease and cancer than anything else...thank you for this info - def eye opening!
Dr Taylor, oh are a natural teacher, the way you take time and patience and originality to get your point accross. Thank you hugely for your tutorials!
Thank you so much for your informative videos!! I have learned so much from listening. I was one of those women who was terrified of hormone replacement due to the WHI scare. I went back and forth and back and forth, going from Bio-identical to synthetic, and now currently back to bio-identical, but had recently been thinking I should just go off completely. But after listening to your videos, I'm better educated and have decided to stay on bio-identical hormone replacement. Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome, Rhonda. Just be sure to watch the videos in order so that you get the WHOLE education. That way, you will really know what you're doing. And if you need me to help you with anything, just schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I just discovered you and have been binge watching your menopause series. Thank you so much for speaking the truth about the plant based diet! There's so much propaganda about healthfulness of saturated fat, cholesterol and animal protein. Thank you for teaching about menopause and setting the record straight on estrogen! I also believed the myth that we need to be scared of estrogen. I only wish I had found you years ago.
I stopped red meat, cheese and wine. I m losing weight. She is right no herbs can replace oestrogen and bones. I don’t eat dairy at all. So I need something so use seeds and linseed to balance and feed bones. The ingested progesterone isn t working for me I don’t think. I ve been recommended the morena coil but am scared it will make my fibroids worse as they swell up and cause me frequent urination and discomfort. I can’t get in my clothes when they swell so I am trying to manage that but without hormones I am miserable and might as well give up. So if we are living longer then the medical profession need to get with it ! I m going to campaign
Wow, I am completely shocked about menopause and it's connection with heart attacks. Thank you for creating your insightful content - learning so much in each of your videos. Truly!
I love your videos.....I'm going through menopause and all other menopause videos ive watched scare the hell outa me! I'm already in a vulnerable state of doom and your videos bring me up....so thank you.
You are so welcome, Genevieve. My goal is to educate you so that you know there are many options. I want the rest of your life to be the best of your life.
Oh Dr Barbie, here I am taking pride in the fact that I can do without hormones - when I would be doing myself a favor to compensate my estrogen loss. I thought I was a bright women but alas, the media has done it's job and scared us into thinking that estrogen is evil. I can't wait to learn more ..... a round of soy milk for all of us gals! lol
You see! Knowledge is power. In this case, it can save your life. But, it makes sense doesn't it? And there are so many different ways to compensate for estrogen loss. It's so unfair that women don't get this information when they're young. If they did, it would save so many lives. That's why I'm crating these videos for you. You deserve to know this. Keep watching, I'll be shocking you some more, I promise.
Okay, you did shock me so much that I jumped the gun with my first comment...lol! I DO walked six miles a day, I DO eat a mostly plant based diet. So, now I’m digging your book back out, and writing down what I can eat to help add my much needed ...beloved...lol. Estrogen back into my 64 year old body...I love you Dr. Barbie!
Good girl! Just remember, while your diet is hugely important, it simply cannot accomplish everything all by itself. You still have so many options, and I'm here to put them all into perspective for you.
Beautiful handbag. Special thanks for this video. I found information that the lack of estrogen reduces the incidence of schizophrenia and delays the possible development of Parkinson's disease by several years, and that HRT has a beneficial effect on the skin. This translates into better hydration, less frequent inflammatory changes and a decrease in the incidence of some dermatological diseases.
I think you'll discover that estrogen deficiency (or any hormone deficiency) makes all other maladies more common. This makes perfect sense, of course.
Every woman from 40.to.60.needs to watch this video.and have this awareness. Menopause Barbie I love your style but you would look real cute in a princess crown and super hero cape. You have earned the title thank you so much.
Shocked...in tears...but you gave so much good info in a practical way. Thank you..you've been one of my only helps through this..started at 36 now I'm 39.
Candac, DEFINITELY schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. There is sooo much to premature menopause; and the consequences of not knowing what it implies are drastic. I will tailor everything specifically to YOU in a consultation. It will be the best thing you can do for your entire future.
You’re basically scarin the sh*t out of me! Oh boy! Postmenapausal since 50 or 51, I forget! Heart attack, stents, CAD. Osteoporosis and brain decline. I’m 67 now! Need some help there, Dr. Barbie. You’re a Godsend!
Yes, I'm shocked about the heart attack. I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago with no HRT. Just last month I went to the Dr. feeling terrible and asked him for HRT and he reluctantly wrote a prescription. He said well I'll give it to you for 90 days. By the way I'm 56.
Linda, Please, please, please have a consultation with me. You will benefit so much. 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. 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 5-day 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 72 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 (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!
Well, I love knowing that you're here getting the education you deserve. I promise that, if you start with the very first video and watch them all in order, you will know everything you need to know to manage your menopause your way and make the rest of your life the best of your life.
Dr Taylor, this is loaded with so much information. I find it helpful yet it is scary. I am beginning to feel like I enjoyed living in a little bit of ignorance and just not knowing any of this. Lol. I get a bit overwhelmed with this informations sometimes but I am enjoying the learning. I have to separate learning from my personal feeling about menopause. You look beautiful as always. ❤
Yes, my dear. Your life was a lot easier before meeting me! I understand what you are feeling. But it will all come together and you will be so glad to be empowered to take control of your future. Thank you for your lovely compliment.
Well, that's the thing about education. The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know. You're starting to put the pieces of this puzzle together. And it's making sense, isn't it! What bothers me is that every woman should have this education early in life. It's entirely unfair that they don't. That's why I'm creating these videos.
This is the invaluable information. Thank you! You look fantastic, you sound fantastic, and your teaching style is fantastic. I am so grateful to Dominique for introducing me to your channel. GOD bless you! I don't see your wedding ring any more....
Thank you so much for your videos they are keeping me company as I convalesce from surgery. I was commenting last month about how I was having a hysterectomy for endometrial cancer I'm not sure if you remember me, anyway… It went well! The surgery was fine turned out the endometrial cancer was stage one so no chemo or radiation. So happy. At the doctor's post-up meeting a week ago, I asked straight away about when I can go on estrogen and he said 1 to 2 years! I am only 46 and a little bit worried about having two years of no estrogen, especially the Estrogen Window and Alzheimer's Disease! I will do what the oncologist said though because he described it as sprinkling garden grow onto cancer and I have to be out of the woods completely before hrt.I will ask him every checkup ha, and about SERMS. I'm skinny fit and love my eggs and cheese so vegan would be so hard- thanks for the vid with ideas for alternatives.
I'm so glad your surgery went well and that your final diagnosis portends and excellent prognosis. If you ever want me to tailor everything to you and assess your menopause management options, you know you can schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I think this is great video to introduce about you to my female friends who don't know about your super important educational channel that all women need to know!
I've watched a ton of your videos. This one is particularly good/important/well-delivered. Wow. What is wrong with our health industry? Guess the answer is easy: it pays to keep us sick and out of touch. Any other deficiency state, we address. Yet somehow, with estrogen, we're supposed to just ride it out, thinking that's the "natural way."
It's not at all "natural." We humans are supposed to die at about age 47. But, because of all our medical & scientific advances, we are now outliving our ovaries and spending a full half of our lives in the state of menopause. Other animals do not have menopause.
Your outfit is so beautiful! Yes I am disgusted that nobody but you is teaching us this! My hubby is very grateful to you hew got the most out of this video ! I was having terrible heart palpitations for a few years the Estradiol/Climara patch and Taurine supplements has kind of stopped palpitations. I got my heart checked there was no problem at the time and that was in 2016. My hubby says I am more myself with the patch! It drives me nuts that all anyone I hear say about menopause is the hot flashes which I never got 4 years into menopause. I think it is a form of denial. My last full time job was as a ladies gym manager. Those menopausal women would come in in the winter at 20 degrees while I am freezing my yams off and ask for the air conditioner! They would gang up on me too! They loved me but not the fact that I wanted them to sweat LOL! They act a little insane with the hot flashes! It took me so long to get the Climara. Every doctor I spoke to said I was crazy. My primary care doctor said ti was too "radical" But I am so glad I started taking it! Thank you for the informative video!
You now see how different menopause is from one woman to another. Realizing that helps you to focus on how to manage YOUR menopause YOUR way, and not worry about what other women are doing.
I was kind of figuring that out by reading and talking to women and how their opinions and treatments were so dramatically different but your videos helped to validate what I was already doing and made it so much easier! I read so many books spoke to so many people that I am glad I can just go to one source now!
Hi, I just heard of you from another you tuber and I believe just in time . Thank you so much . You are obviously knowledgeable as wonderful:) caring , with great humor and so beautiful. Thank you 🙏🏻
Welcome aboard, Rosa. 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!)
I get this question all the time. And my answer is a real let-down. I use Cetaphil lotion andVaseline. I don't wear make-up (which has gotten me into a bit of a tussle with the video folks). Oh, and I wear hats and I'm vegan. In any case, I have no magic for you.
Okay, now you don't have to answer my question that I asked you on another video why? Because this video answered my question :) Thank you and bless you for shedding light on what women can do to effectively avoid those three diseases. Estrogen compensation now seems more important than I've ever been led to understand before. Just have to find one that works for you. So many women have been scared out of trying to balance and compensate for hormone losses that many end up missing the 5-10 year window of opportunity. It ought not be so.
@@MenopauseTaylor I started to have a lot of health problems starting about 4 years ago... I'm thinking there is a relationship... I was an ovo-lacto vegetarian for years, but reluctantly reintroduced fish and chicken about 2 years ago, I thought I might be lacking enough protein, amino acids... now thinking that was not at the root of the problem... Do you have any recommendations for great vegan books that could steer me towards a balanced and healthy vegan diet?
As much as I would like to believe your statistics about how many women die from heart attacks, I do not know one woman in my whole lifetime (64) who has had a heart attack, let alone died from one..... but far too many to count who have died from cancer....mostly breast cancer. I think I am one of those who have avoided HRT because of the fear of breast cancer. I do have osteoporosis and would like to address that through estrogen but would love a natural way to do that....hopefully future videos will address that? I love your common sense approach to health...
I'll address everything, Donna. Please don't let the women you know make you doubt the statistics. These are the facts. Don't let fear take the place of facts. Many women who die of heart attacks and "sudden cardiac death." They have no history of heart disease. They don't even know the symptoms of heart attack in a woman (which are completely different from those of a man). The fact is that your chances of dying from a heart attack are 8 times that of your chances of dying from breast cancer. As for osteoporosis, what do you mean by the word "natural." If you watch video 22, you'll see that people define that word differently. Depending on what it means to YOU, there are a variety of options in every category for managing osteoporosis. We won't get to the topic of osteoporosis in detail for quite some time. You would benefit by getting this information now. For that, I can offer you (1) My two-day seminar on February 10 & 11, (2) The DVD of the seminar, available from my website (MenopauseTaylor.ME), or (3) My menopause book, also available from my website (MenopauseTaylor.ME. You might also enjoy the articles I have on my website. Please don't let only the diseases among your own circle of friends create a barrier for you. I have absolutely no reason to give you anything but facts. I'm not selling any product, just education. Please let me know how I might help you. That's my goal.
You know, Shannon, I always say that if MEN went through menopause, they would have all the resources in the world available to them. My goal is to revolutionize menopause for women. EVERY woman DESERVES this education and the opportunity to manage her menopause in a way that gives her the very best future. You can be certain that I'll continue helping you in any way I can.
WHY? Indeed?! When I first watched your videos...I foolishly thought the worst thing I would (am) facing is hot flashes. This is a scary reality, making me think we need to supplement with estrogen the rest of our life, not just that five year cut off point we are told about. I’m still back at square one, being post menopause for 11 years, I missed my window, so now, what do I do?
Don't despair, Cindy. What you do is address how to reduce the risk of each disease: For preventing a heart attack, you can accomplish almost all your goals by eating a plant-based diet (as close to 100% plant-based as possible), exercising regularly, maintaining ideal weight, practicing good dental hygiene, refraining from smoking, and getting all your vitamins & minerals. For preventing osteoporosis, you can use a SERM, practice balance exercises, exercise regularly, maintain ideal weight, limit your caffeine & soft drinks, & take calcium & magnesium. For preventing Alzheimer's, you can avoid processed foods, take lecithin, exercise regularly, and challenge your mind with learning new things (studying languages, going to school, learning to play an instrument, etc.) I have a slide chart on my website (MenopauseTaylor.ME) that you can buy. It helps you narrow your best options for reducing your risks for all these diseases. Keep watching, Cindy. You'll see that there's always a way to accomplish your goals.
what about sleep? I’ve been struggling with sleeplessness for almost 10 years. I wake up very early in the morning no matter what time I go to bed. I wake up every 2 to 3 hours and have trouble falling back asleep as well. I walk around like a zombie almost all the time because of this, I am 53. My gynecologist has acknowledged that sleep is very important to my health. I have tried lifestyle, changes, supplements, sleep medications, and all kinds of things to solve that problem with limited success. I believe that if I had HRT, I would sleep better. What is my solid argument to convince her to give it to me?
Robin, This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via online video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
I’m 100% whole food plant based vegan, and although I’m not immune from menopausal symptoms, I’m definitely fairing better than many of my peers especially in the areas of weight, sleep, and mood. 💚
Don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor. ME if you want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU. I do them all online.
Welcome aboard, Nora. I'm so glad you're here. I can assure you that, if you watch all my videos in order, starting with the very first one, you will understand everything. And you'll be shocked at how much you didn't know. This is the education you deserve! I respond to comments here on TH-cam daily. So, I'm here to help ... but I'll also know if you're not watching the videos in order. (I'm sort of like your mother: I have eyes in the back of my head.)
You’re my meno goddess!!! It’s a shame, it’s a crime women do not have this information to make educated decisions . In my country people equate HRT & the pill in your 40’s to cancer. It’s ridiculous. You are teaching me so much. Thank you.
It's a problem everywhere, Marge. Menopause is THE most neglected topic on Earth. And I'm trying my best to change that. I applaud you for getting this education and making sure you take control of your future. I love helping you. If you ever want to tailor all the facts and management options specifically to the one and only YOU, just schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I think you are the goddess. And this is the education you deserve!
@@MenopauseTaylor Thanks so much for getting back to me. I definitely plan on scheduling a one to one session with you. Im currently on tutorial #78 and wanted to educate myself a little further so i can bombard you with all my questions. Do you think that's a good idea?
I was in shock that as I brought up the subject of my menopause at our women’s bible study last week out of the 7 of us 5 women suffer from incontinence, and have for years! They just accept that normal. They are deathly afraid of estrogen, even afraid to talk about it! Not saying that is indeed their issue but sounds as though it very well could be. I have suggested they watch your videos numerous times but as I said earlier it seems like such a scary topic to many women. I worry they are not well informed and have made choices dictated by fear): I’m slowly trying to pass on the wisdom I am gleaning from your videos(; thank you again Dr. Taylor for all you do! Dr. Taylor, I also wanted to ask your opinion on something if you feel comfortable answering. I am 48 years old, had a hysterectomy due to fibroids 4 years ago, I am experiencing many symptoms of menopause and recently started estradiol orally. At what dosage would you start me out or think would be the optimal dose at which I should be?
Deborah, The minimal necessary dosage of estradiol is 1 mg / day. Here are the minimal necessary dosages of estrogen to accomplish prevention of heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's Disease, depending on the type of estrogen you're taking: Conjugated Estrogen 0.625 mg / day Estradiol 1.0 mg / day Estradiol Patches 0.5 mg / day Estropipate 1.25 mg / day Esterified Estrogen 0.625 mg / day Ethinyl Estradiol 0.01 - 0.015 mg / day depending on the source of the estrogen Compounded Bi-Est or Tri-Est 2.5 mg / day You'll want to watch videos 80 - 90 when they air. Oh, and the younger you are the higher the dosage you'll need. If you're just peri-menopausal, you probably WILL NOT be relieved of your symptoms with dosages designed for women much older than you are. That's why birth control options are so popular for women during peri-menopause. Birth control dosages of estrogen and progesterone are much nigher than the ones in HRT. I hope this helps!
Boy do I wish this video had been available and I had watched it before I decided that I didn't need my HRT anymore. I thought it was just for symptoms. I didn't learn, until you told me, that it does so much more. My mom has Alzheimer's and osteoporosis. I have osteoporosis, too, as does one of my sisters. Now, I'm too old to take estrogen. Believe me, I would if I could get my hands on it. xo~linda
You may not be too old. If you want to find out whether or not you're still a candidate for HRT, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. Most women are pleasantly surprised to discover that they can still take it if they so desire. I do all consultations online.
I found you about 1 year ago and started watching from the beginning. I poised questions and you kindly answered. I then fell away I guess I really started neglecting the fact that I am menopausal. Dumb,...... however I have since moved and upon making an apt to establish a new Doc I thought stop putting up with this menopause and get informed take control it can be better. So that being said videos # 74 75 76 77 78. Are ground breaking esp since my 82 year old mother now has Alzheimer’s. Thank you for informing us ladies to our bodies choices and preventing further life . I’m going into the new Doc with questions and plan of action most of all communication. Thanks Doc Barbie 💕🍑🐝
You are so very welcome! You will find that your doctor LOVES it that you have a real education. It makes their job so much easier, and it helps you get what you want. Tell them about my videos, book, etc. The fact that I'm a gynecologist rather than some celebrity or ranting marketer makes a huge difference. BE SURE to watch through video 100 before you see your doctor ti jeez from shooting yourself in the foot if you have any interest at all in HRT. I love helping you.
Thank you! I am trying to get through to some of my girlfriends and will share this video. Women are simply clueless when it comes to estrogen loss. Keep up the fantastic videos!
You are brilliant!!! I love how you teach us using visuals aaand you explain things in such a simple manner that I and many can understand. I had so many misconceptions and my eyes have been opened I have to watch this video again Thank you for all you do to alert us and making us aware of our health options
This makes me so happy. Most women have nothing but fear and misconceptions as their so-called "knowledge." Yiu deserve to really understand everything. If you watch all my videos in order, starting with the very first one, I guarantee you'll understand everything. (Of course, I do not guarantee that if you jump around out of order. In that case, you'll probably be more confused than ever.) My goal is to empower you to use factual information that is tailed to YOU. I love knowing that you value that opportunity.
My granny died from a fall from crumbling hips as she had Alzheimer’s disease - she had 3 hip replacements to carry on exercising and still her bones crumbled. My mum has heart disease
Once again you have opened my eyes! Thank you so much for that. The medical media has instilled fear of estrogen....... why???? What is the purpose??? There must be one. Fear is a hard thing to overcome, your videos have dealt these misconceptions a devastating blow. I'm so happy that my 40 year old daughter is learning from you, she can now avoid these pitfalls. Thank you again.
Actually, Janice, the Alternative & Complementary world has instilled the fear of estrogen, even though (and precisely because) they don't dispense estrogen. They promote progesterone as a "safe" alternative (which is absolutely not the truth). The medical community has had to respond to the fear of estrogen. As I'll be teaching you, the WHI (Women's Health Initiative) Study in 2001 magnified the fear of estrogen a million times. And it was the lay media who presented the "facts" but only reported half of them. When you learn the real facts from me, it's going to make your blood boil. For instance, the reported that "HRT for menopause increased the risk of a blood clot 100 times." Here's the whole truth: HRT was given to women, average age 63 (not the average age of symptomatic menopausal women). The study included 10,000 women. Without HRT, 8 women (out of 10,000) had a blood clot. With HRT, 16 women (out of 10,000) had a blood clot. That's a 100% increase! But, does the 16 instead of 8 OUT OF 10,000 alarm you as much as the "100% increase" language does? So, now we've got a whole population of women who forfeited their opportunity to take estrogen because of their fear ... all because they didn't get the whole story. I don't promote any one particular management style. But I do promote the truth. You deserve to know all the facts and decide for yourself what's best for you. I'm so glad you're with me on this journey to make things better for women everywhere.
+Menopause Taylor ,Thank you for your thorough explanation. My blood is already boiling...... I am one of those women who missed out on HRT. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you Dr Taylor 🙏🏼what an eye opener... All these years I've been under the impression that any form of hrt is a Huge No No!! I've been gorging on your videos this week, after I stumbled on a hot and flashy video. Lucky for me I've not reached pre menopause so I am adequately equipped with the Correct information when I get there 🙌🏼 but unfortunately for my 67 year old mum, she has missed that window of opportunity 😢. I'm unaware of any menopausal Dr's here in South Africa, so your information is gold. I would like to know what are her options to salvage her future health as she has never had any hrt to date (she's been enduring through the hot flashes and uti etc 😔) and she has her uterus 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Any guidance will be highly appreciated
Ashni, Have your mom schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will tailor all the facts specifically to HER and help her assess all her options. As for you, please make absolutely sure you start with video #1 and watch them all in order. That will give you a real and complete education on menopause. If you watch my video randomly, you will sabotage your entire menopause education. I am just so glad you're here. My dream is for ALL women to get this education in their 20s.
I'm in surgical menopause. I'll be getting a referral to get a regular gyno to get bioidentical estrogen and the yearly exams that gyno oncology says I'll need.
I’m not sure about the Alzheimer’s estrogen loss connection..why do so many men get Alzheimer’s then? Same with hardening of the arteries..my dad had a massive stroke at the age of 53 due to HBP and arteriosclerosis. I don’t quite understand the role of estrogen loss in these diseases that are also very common in men.
The main reason people get Alzheimer's is that we get lazy ... in terms of using our brains. Both men and women are guilty. And, as for your being "unsure" about the estrogen and Alzheimer's issue, that's not a matter of opinion. It's a fact that has been born out in many studies. Men have heart attacks, too. And when you see the long list of risk factors that contribute to a heart attack, you'll see that there is a lot more to it than just estrogen. Doubt all you want. But, do you really want to take a chance with doubting these things when all you have to do is avoid them in the first place? Never substitute what you've witnessed in your little circle of family and friends for statistics that take the entire population into account.
I have shrunk 1 “ and when I tell the doctor they seem to think that is NORMAL??? My neck is painful and the vertebrae is collapsing - it is not my lack of exercise
OMG😱 I am watching this because my daughter is 48 years old and I believe she is peri menopausal, I am 71 years old and wish that the i pad had existed when I was beginning my journey at the age of 35 years old. I was told by my doctor when I asked for HRT he said, I would be at risk of Breast Cancer. Well it maybe too late for me, even though I am relatively well and active, but I want my daughter to understand the benefits of taking HRT.
Gillian, I responded to another comment from you about having a consultation. Your daughter should have one, too. She needs this information pronto so that she can manage her menopause her way. I would love to help her, too.
I used to be hypothyroid for several years. Went to a Chinese medical Dr. was able to slowly lower the dose of my meds. until I was off it all together.
Hi Dr. Taylor! As usual, another super informative tutorial! I am so, so thankful to have your knowledge base and insight to help guide me through this next phase in my life. The statistic on heart attacks was a mind blower for sure and although scary, it is important to know and be aware of. My gynecologist put me on the CombiPatch (.05mg/.14mg) last July. Is the amount of estradiol in this patch (.05mg - 2 patches/week) sufficient to compensate for my natural loss of estrogen (I miss my sweet estrogen so, so much!)? The other dosage option for the CP is .05mg/.25mg, but the estradiol level remains the same. Thank you again for your generous spirit!!!!
Maria, You are taking the correct dosage of estrogen necessary to prevent heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's Disease. It's the estradiol that matters, and you're doing it just right.
Thank you so very much for putting my mind at ease about my current dosage. I look forward to your next tutorials and becoming even more empowered on this subject! Happiest of holidays to you and yours!!!
I am so glad you're getting this education, Tiffany. I can assure you that, if you start at video 1 and watch them all in order, you will understand absolutely everything. The same will not be true if you skip around in the order. And if you ever need my personal help tailoring all the information specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
If you’d like a more efficient delivery of this menopause education, you should (1) Get my book, or (2) Watch the webinars, or (3) Watch the DVD entitled Your Menopause Your Way. They all give you the complete education without the fluff of the videos. My goal is to meet the needs of all women, regardless of their learning style, and regardless of their command of the English language. Many of my viewers speak English as a second, third, or fourth language. You may not care about them, but I do. I am the only person providing a complete and unbiased education on menopause. So, I’m trying to serve the needs of all women. I’m sorry I haven’t serve yours well. But I think one of the other options listed above will.
What an interest and clear perspective. Thank you so much for this. Now, I wonder which way is best? I have been offered pellets with estrogen and testosterone and I am still unsure about that as it seems very invasive. Thoughts, Dr. Taylor?
"Best" is a marketing term. Women are not robots. You should define your goals FIRST, and then choose your options. If your goals include preventing heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's, nothing that is compounded (such as pellets) is capable of accomplishing your goal. If you want to avoid pitfalls and marketers, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will tailor everything to YOU and help you assess your options. I do them all online.
wow i am so shocked all these things i didn't know. only 43 and already prementopausal. i know it's too early and i knew i have got to do somethin because i haven't been feeling right...Thank you off to my dr i go to discuss options and preparted
I just saw my gyno yesterday. I am not in menopause currently. I’m 45 and have been on progesterone for a few years. I let her know yesterday how fatigued and irritable I’ve been. She immediately said she wanted to start me in a high dose of estrogen, but start tapering off over 5 years. According to her, after 5 years the risk of breast cancer is greatly increased. This really makes me nervous. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Also, she told me to just quit the progesterone.
You definitely need a consultation with me. I cannot help you in a comment box. But you deserve to know all the facts and all your options. Please schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME, and I will tailor everything specifically to YOU.
I told my friends about you and your YT channel but they do not speak english, so I told them about the main shocking info and they were shocked...could not believe me. Well I am watching all your videos in order and reading your notes and your book so I gradually got my education. We just miss the point...we focused on the wrong things and on foolish details
Share what you learn with your friends. It will save their lives. Eventually, everything I provide for your education will be translated into other languages. I want to help all women. I am so proud of your taking control of your health education.
Hey Dr Taylor! Love you and your videos! Not sure if you answer questions but thought I would ask! I ate a vegan diet for 4 years. I am very active, teaching strong yoga practices and resistance training. My energy was really depleted and I was finding my post exercise recovery was poor. I saw my acupuncturist for a series of treatments and she suggested I eat a small amount of meat and fish. She usually recommends a vegan diet too but said that because our winter season (in Canada) is so long and harsh, a little meat helps the body. Would you agree with that? Or do you think that just messes up the proper balance? I'm wondering how I can sustain my energy without it. I know there are a ton of factors, so I'm just wondering what you hypothetically think about it! 🙏💕
Denise, There are no hypotheticals here. And no one's opinion matters, either. What does our BODY say? Your own body's opinion is the only one that matters. We humans have a tendency to listen to everyone and everything except our own bodies. But your body does not lie. So, do an experiment: Eat meat for about 2 weeks and see how you feel. If you feel better, that's your body telling you it needs the meat. If you don't feel better or you feel worse, that's your body telling you it doesn't need the meat.
Thanks again for this video. I have been binge watching your videos. I was having symptoms hot flashes, night sweats and others. I went to my doctor and she didn't want to give me hormone replacement because she said it causes heart disease. I am going to keep watching your videos.
Consider having a consultation with me. I'll help you tailor all the information in my videos specifically to YOU. That's what counts. 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!
You are so welcome, and 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.
Menopause Taylor thank you so much for sharing this important information with us!! I just started to watch from video 1 and i will watch all of them. 🥰
Dr. Berg on TH-cam, advises against all forms of synthetic hormone replacement… ie. estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, synthroid, etc. He says it’s harmful for the glands that those hormones are supposed to come from and not to mention the side effects on your liver, and other organs of synthetic hormones. How can you get those hormones any other way? You can’t really unless you eat mountains of phytoestrogens, etc every single day. Either you go without synthetic hormones or you go on them, but there are pros and cons either way.
Food is food. Exercise is exercise. Hormones are hormones. They will never do one another's job. Good luck managing your hormone deficiency the Dr. Berg way.
Come to think of it, my grandma used to fall and have some type of fractures many times, hip, shoulder I think. And she also had Alzheimer's in the end. I saw the scans of her brain size diminishing over time, it shrunk considerably. It was pretty daunting to actually see it physically in front of you. Funny it's two of the diseases estrogen deficiency causes. She was taking a bunch of medication per day but estrogen was not one of them. Looks like that's why those things happened to her 😳
I love knowing that this education is going to help you. And I hate the fact that you know I'm telling you the truth by seeing what happened to your grandmother.
I don’t have estrogen or progesterone,I am post menopause. I have a 7:16 little bit of testosterone. My doctor is giving me 1mg, estrogen, 100 progesterone, 7 DHEA . Sounds wrong to me . What do you think Barbie. I just turned 70 😢😢
@@smoothjazz1954 This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box.

My only question is how many of those post menopausal women have a really healthy lifestyle? My guess is not many. Are there any studies on women who are really big on healthy lifestyles?
I was signing up for a Costco membership today and while I was standing at the counter, somehow Menopause popped up and well...I started talking about you and all the information you give us. Before I knew it, there were 5 women standing around me asking me questions and for your information! I’m your menopause poster child HAHAHAHAHH!
You're my pimp! Thank you! I love this. You can pimp for me any time.
Menopause Taylor I’m making up some pamphlets to hand out so people can go directly to your YT channel and website :-).
I'm shocked. You blew me away. If this was a male issue it would be mandatory to attend treatment. Why are we not more informed.? Once again thank you Dr Taylor.❤️
You are so right. And I'm glad I can help make a difference for you. Keep watching. I'll be shocking you some more, I promise!
Exactly 100%
I just had my obgyn appt, and was told I've entered menopause. I got no help. It was strange. No mention of helping me with my loss of estrogen. I'm calling them, now, after watching your video. I need estrogen!
I just popped over after watching Angie's (Hot and Flashy) latest video regarding her menopause journey, and man am I glad I did! This information is gold! I've only recently began noticing menopausal symptoms, specifically memory loss and mental fogginess, and thought I was losing my mind. I have my annual OBGYN visit this month, so I'll be addressing the question of HRT moving forward. I, thankfully, do not have hot flashes, sleep issues or night sweats, or other physical symptoms associated with menopause, but the brain fog scares me. I've been on Mirena for almost ten years, so I wonder if progesterone has masked some of the other symptoms...? Anyway, this video is amazing and incredibly helpful. Thank you so very much for sharing!
I would like to add that CALM helps with brain fog, we are missing minerals, it worked for me big time.
Welcome to "Menopause University," Leslie.
If you start with video 1 and watch them all in order, you will definitely understand everything. If you watch them in random order, you will sabotage your entire menopause education.
And if you ever want me to tailor all the facts specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
It makes me so angry that doctors don’t speak of this Woman’s Health Issue more. I think it’s dangerous for a woman not to know.
Just... One of the most important videos to see in a lifetime. THANK YOU.
Barbie you have saved my life 🙌🏻 after suffering for 2 years with menopause yuck I went on HRT. Estrogen patches and a progesterone Rx cream. Soon to be a mirena iud for progesterone with my estrogen patches. I feel like ME again!!!! So grateful I don’t have to rough it anymore 😢!!! Thank you ❤xoxoxo 🎀
Compensation ideas start at 18 minutes, and they are
1- a plant based diet
2- exercise
3- hormone replacement treatment

@@MenopauseTaylor PREACH 💖💖💖💖💖
@@MenopauseTaylor I am truly sorry if my comment on your video made you feel as if I didn't like it or value it's content. I was mearly trying to summarise the message you delivered. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I love Barbie, shes a treasure. However, sometimes my brain fog is so bad I cant concentrate and lose focus. (Hypothyroidism). Some days I just need to get to the nitty gritty. Thanks Titia, appreciate it
Thanks!
Revolutionary. It is a crime that doctors don't pass on this information to their female patients in their 40s. For years, I complained to my family doctor about fatigue, hair loss, brain fog. I was told it's probably menopause, but was never offered any management options. Worse, I was never told that it's important to look to hormones to manage long term disease risks. Is that not a disgrace to the medical profession? Truly shocking. Dr. B, if I do a consult with you, what blood tests and other medical records would you need to optimize the consultation?
If you have a consultation with me, I will explain why the state of affairs with regard to menopause is as it is. And I will present ALL your options. Plus, I will explain all the benefits of taking HRT, all the risks of taking HRT, and all the risks of NOT taking HRT. You will have all the facts to make excellent decisions about your menopause management.
You will be able to tell me all about yourself and submit any test results you wish for me to take into account. None are mandatory.
The only tests fo importance are:
Bone density results
Mammogram results
PERTINENT labs, primarily cholesterol & lipid studies, Thyroid labs
I DO NOT need reproductive hormone levels.
I look forward to helping you.
It is shocking, 1 out of 2 die of a heart attack. I was only focused on hot flashes. My doctor never told me anything about the diseases of menopause. Thank you Dr. Taylor for all you do. You are the most brilliant and informative doctor on the internet. I'm going to be scheduling a consult with you ASAP.
I look very forward to meeting you and helping you, my dear.
This is the education all women deserve. But I math only person on this planet teaching rather than marketing or coercing.
Yes, you shocked me!! I’ve been literally going nuts for the last 3+ years and now 57 definitely going back to my old lifestyle. I can’t thank you enough. Especially, since heart disease runs in my family. 🥰🙏🏽💖
You will find that, if you start with video 1 and watch all my videos in order, you'll be shocked more than you can imagine. Most women have been walking around with their reproductive tracts all their lives without knowing the first thing about them. And if you watch the videos in order, you'll want to binge-watch because you will understand everything for the first time in your life.
If you ever want me to tailor all the facts specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
OMG...You are correct!!! All I heard about were the hot flashes. I learned about depression, fatigue, weight gain and other "short-term symptoms" while going through post menopause. I am thankful that I came across your channel because I did not know about the other long-term/consequences. THANK YOU!
You are so welcome, my dear.
This TH-cam channel gives you a REAL menopause education ... IF you start with video 1 and watch them all in order. If you watch my videos randomly, you will sabotage your entire menopause education.
And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to you, don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I've just discovered you lately, Dr. Barbie, and have been watching your videos like a madwoman. Finally just went ahead and ordered your book and have devoured it! I've been watching in sequence but today, out of curiosity, I skipped ahead to #77 and this video and BAM! Suddenly it's all become crystal clear. I think this may be your most important video. I also think you should take your seminars on a world tour. You would pack stadiums and arena's ;) I would LOVE to attend one. Thank you for being invested in doing this good work. And you do it in such a fun, warm and engaging way!
You are really making my day. I so want every woman to have this education.
I give the seminar only twice a year. It knocks your socks off, but it also does a number on my severely arthritic body. Please come to one soon. (The next one is September 22 & 23). I have eight 6-foot tables full of props and models, little boobies for you to feel, prizes, and more than you can imagine. But I don't travel with it. My body can't take it.
I do have the seminar on DVD, and am currently converting it into webinar form. That way, women can have access to it no matter where they are. I'm trying to provide every educational service to every woman, no matter what her budget, learning style, or timeline. It's all on my website" MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I love knowing that this is helping you. It should all make perfect sense if you keep watching the videos in order.
❤
Amazing! Angie from Hot and Flash sent me.. Thank you, thank you!
You are so very welcome, my dear. Start with video #1 and watch them all in order. I promise you'll understand everything if you do.
And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
omg this was an eye opener. I am not yet peri menopausal but want to be very prepared. Dr. Taylor you are a godsend, truly. Every woman should watch your videos. You are saving lives one video at a time. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for seeing the value in my efforts. If only women realized that this education is life-saving!
Dr Taylor. I so much appreciate your education. I feel like you saved my life. I have a memo pause specialist appointment this Wednesday. You encouraged me to live a meaningful and empowered life. Hope all is well with you.
This makes me so happy, I love the confidence in your words.
If you have any problem getting what you want, don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
I watch Angie on Hot n Flashy snd was directed here! Wow!!! I’m so happy I saw this! I’m 45 years old. Had a partial hysterectomy 6 years ago (still have ovaries). I’ve been having hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, tired all the time, etc for well over a year. I just had blood work done and my numbers came back saying I was right on the verge of being post menopausal. I decided well I made it through, I don’t need to do HRT! Until I saw your video. I’m now starting over and watching through them all!
You will be SOOOOO glad you started at video #1 and watched them all in order. You will discover all sorts of things you have all wrong (like your claim to have had a "Partial Hysterectomy," when, in fact, you had a "Total Hysterectomy"!) Don't worry, you'll get to that video early on.
If you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I will be 52 in Nov and thank goodness I came across your channel. I started getting hot flashes 3 weeks ago and with your guidance I will be prepare and educated on making this a easier process for me dealing with Menopause. Thank you
Thank you so much....very informative. The reason women initially are only concerned about the symptoms such as hot flashes is because we simply don’t know to be concerned about these other issues. Now, we do thanks to you.
That's why I make these videos. Women are completely missing the boat, all because they just don't have the education they deserve.
U changed my view about HRT, even I think like u ,I always discuss with my girlfriend's that only hormone can compensate for hormone loss ,I m hypothyroid nd my life was miserable without thyroxine,I got my life back when I started thyroxine, now m 44 and I know I will take progesterone if I need before menopause nd will definitely take oestrogen post menopause
I love the way u say about ,if men lose testosterone ,they will replace before we utter the word replace,,that's so true
Love barbie ,from india,you r godsent:)
You are adorable, Pooja. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I love helping you.
Hi Pooja .I found only you here from India. want to talk to you .how can I found you on FB or Insta. Love n regards
Life changing information in this video. I love your outfit!
I'm so glad to help you, Elizabeth. And thank you for the compliment.
Wow....you did shock me regarding loss of Estrogen and Alzheimer’s! My mother-in-law had it and it was horrible. Back in the day when she was postmenopausal, I remember the frustration she was having trying to get the right amount of estrogen in her body via her gynecologist. The whole house shook because her body was so out of whack. I wish she knew you back then...she would have had relief from watching your videos.
Exactly! I never want another woman suffer from ailments she can prevent simply by getting this education. If young women watch these, it will change the world for all of them.
This information is truly a shocker to me. I've been watching your tutorials in order. Every time you release new one, I have to hold myself down not to watch it yet till I watch all the other ones. I am trying to absorb as much as I can so that I can make best choices for me. Thank you so much for being there for us!
You are getting this education the right way, and it will serve you well for the rest of your life, I promise. I'm just so glad you're here!
I am so glad to know this information and that I can share it with my friends and family. You are right, it is unbelievable that most women still think that they should avoid taking estrogen. I am fearful for my female friends who are menopausal age, because every one of them is convinced that is estrogen is bad for them.
Shana,
I always say that I chose THE most unpopular topic on earth, and then made my TH-cam channel a classroom, of all things!
But the rampant denial and ignorance of menopause is just ridiculous. And, unfortunately, it's life-threatening.
Do everything you can to interest your loved ones in this education. You will be saving their lives, even if they don't know it. Be sure you tell everyone to watch all the videos in order. If they do, they'll get so hooked they'll want to binge-watch, and they'll understand absolutely everything. (That goes for you, too, of course.)
Thank you so much for valuing what I do and for taking advantage of this education.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I am 1 year into menopause and today I went to speak with my Dr about estrogen therapy. She put me on a low dose of .5 MG of Estradiol daily but warned me of my increase risk of breast and uterine cancer and told me to take it as short as I can. I came out of office scared to death and thought I would research it some more. I am so happy to have found you. You make total sense and is the expert. After watching all your videos I learned that the benefit out ways the risk. I also learned that the dosage she put me on is not beneficial. I will start of with this low dose but plan insisting to increase to 1mg. Thank you so much again for helping us women.
You see! Now you know shat you're doing, and why. My goal is to present the facts, help you tailor the to yourself, and enable you to make wise, logical decisions that are right FOR YOU.
So good, Dr. Taylor! There's also the loss of testosterone! It'd be great if you did a series on testosterone replacement therapy for women. So many absolutely love it, in combination with ERT or HRT. It's particularily good for low libido, anxiety, mental clarity and even joint pains. 😊
I will give you a unit on this ... at the appropriate time (which will not be for a long time).
I just love how you give us the cold hard facts and at the end you always leave us smiling or laughing.....So, my mom and all her female friends and sisters do not (nor ever have) taken estrogen or HRT.....many are still alive and well into their 70's without hormones....is it because some are on non hormonal options like statins, antihypertensives, aspirin, etc? Many do not even exercise, but most are vegetarian but not vegan.....just wondering because I know most women outlive men, but many do without the hormones....I also have not seen much of Alzheimer's in the Indian culture....more heart disease and cancer than anything else...thank you for this info - def eye opening!
I would like the answer to this to. all these health problems don't just happen to menopausal women.
Dr Taylor, oh are a natural teacher, the way you take time and patience and originality to get your point accross. Thank you hugely for your tutorials!
Thank you so much for your informative videos!! I have learned so much from listening. I was one of those women who was terrified of hormone replacement due to the WHI scare. I went back and forth and back and forth, going from Bio-identical to synthetic, and now currently back to bio-identical, but had recently been thinking I should just go off completely. But after listening to your videos, I'm better educated and have decided to stay on bio-identical hormone replacement. Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome, Rhonda. Just be sure to watch the videos in order so that you get the WHOLE education. That way, you will really know what you're doing. And if you need me to help you with anything, just schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I just discovered you and have been binge watching your menopause series. Thank you so much for speaking the truth about the plant based diet! There's so much propaganda about healthfulness of saturated fat, cholesterol and animal protein. Thank you for teaching about menopause and setting the record straight on estrogen! I also believed the myth that we need to be scared of estrogen. I only wish I had found you years ago.
I stopped red meat, cheese and wine. I m losing weight. She is right no herbs can replace oestrogen and bones. I don’t eat dairy at all. So I need something so use seeds and linseed to balance and feed bones. The ingested progesterone isn t working for me I don’t think. I ve been recommended the morena coil but am scared it will make my fibroids worse as they swell up and cause me frequent urination and discomfort. I can’t get in my clothes when they swell so I am trying to manage that but without hormones I am miserable and might as well give up. So if we are living longer then the medical profession need to get with it ! I m going to campaign
Wow, I am completely shocked about menopause and it's connection with heart attacks. Thank you for creating your insightful content - learning so much in each of your videos. Truly!
You make me so happy! Every time I receive a comment like this, I know I may have just saved a life. It makes me teary.
I love your videos.....I'm going through menopause and all other menopause videos ive watched scare the hell outa me!
I'm already in a vulnerable state of doom and your videos bring me up....so thank you.
You are so welcome, Genevieve. My goal is to educate you so that you know there are many options. I want the rest of your life to be the best of your life.
Oh Dr Barbie, here I am taking pride in the fact that I can do without hormones - when I would be doing myself a favor to compensate my estrogen loss. I thought I was a bright women but alas, the media has done it's job and scared us into thinking that estrogen is evil. I can't wait to learn more ..... a round of soy milk for all of us gals! lol
Me too!
You see! Knowledge is power. In this case, it can save your life. But, it makes sense doesn't it? And there are so many different ways to compensate for estrogen loss. It's so unfair that women don't get this information when they're young. If they did, it would save so many lives. That's why I'm crating these videos for you. You deserve to know this. Keep watching, I'll be shocking you some more, I promise.
@@MenopauseTaylor Amen🙏
Thank you for a video packed with vital information. I was definitely not aware of the risks of loosing estrogen. ~ Joanna ♡
You are so welcome. I love knowing that these videos are making a difference in your life.
Okay, you did shock me so much that I jumped the gun with my first comment...lol! I DO walked six miles a day, I DO eat a mostly plant based diet. So, now I’m digging your book back out, and writing down what I can eat to help add my much needed ...beloved...lol. Estrogen back into my 64 year old body...I love you Dr. Barbie!
Good girl! Just remember, while your diet is hugely important, it simply cannot accomplish everything all by itself. You still have so many options, and I'm here to put them all into perspective for you.
Beautiful handbag.
Special thanks for this video.
I found information that the lack of estrogen reduces the incidence of schizophrenia and delays the possible development of Parkinson's disease by several years, and that HRT has a beneficial effect on the skin. This translates into better hydration, less frequent inflammatory changes and a decrease in the incidence of some dermatological diseases.
I think you'll discover that estrogen deficiency (or any hormone deficiency) makes all other maladies more common. This makes perfect sense, of course.
Every woman from 40.to.60.needs to watch this video.and have this awareness. Menopause Barbie I love your style but you would look real cute in a princess crown and super hero cape. You have earned the title thank you so much.
You make me laugh. I am far from being anything royal or super, but I would love the costume!
Shocked...in tears...but you gave so much good info in a practical way. Thank you..you've been one of my only helps through this..started at 36 now I'm 39.
Candac,
DEFINITELY schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. There is sooo much to premature menopause; and the consequences of not knowing what it implies are drastic. I will tailor everything specifically to YOU in a consultation. It will be the best thing you can do for your entire future.
You’re basically scarin the sh*t out of me! Oh boy! Postmenapausal since 50 or 51, I forget! Heart attack, stents, CAD. Osteoporosis and brain decline. I’m 67 now! Need some help there, Dr. Barbie. You’re a Godsend!
Yes, I'm shocked about the heart attack. I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago with no HRT. Just last month I went to the Dr. feeling terrible and asked him for HRT and he reluctantly wrote a prescription. He said well I'll give it to you for 90 days. By the way I'm 56.
Linda,
Please, please, please have a consultation with me. You will benefit so much.
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. 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 5-day 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 72 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 (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!
90 days ! Criminal !
Thank you Dr. Taylor. You have opened my eyes !
Well, I love knowing that you're here getting the education you deserve.
I promise that, if you start with the very first video and watch them all in order, you will know everything you need to know to manage your menopause your way and make the rest of your life the best of your life.
Dr Taylor, this is loaded with so much information. I find it helpful yet it is scary. I am beginning to feel like I enjoyed living in a little bit of ignorance and just not knowing any of this. Lol. I get a bit overwhelmed with this informations sometimes but I am enjoying the learning. I have to separate learning from my personal feeling about menopause.
You look beautiful as always. ❤
Yes, my dear. Your life was a lot easier before meeting me! I understand what you are feeling. But it will all come together and you will be so glad to be empowered to take control of your future.
Thank you for your lovely compliment.
Hold on...let me get my socks on the other side of the room! You blew my socks off woman!!
Well, that's the thing about education. The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know.
You're starting to put the pieces of this puzzle together. And it's making sense, isn't it!
What bothers me is that every woman should have this education early in life. It's entirely unfair that they don't. That's why I'm creating these videos.
This is the invaluable information. Thank you! You look fantastic, you sound fantastic, and your teaching style is fantastic. I am so grateful to Dominique for introducing me to your channel. GOD bless you! I don't see your wedding ring any more....
You are so very welcome, my dear. I love giving you this education.
Thank you so much for your videos they are keeping me company as I convalesce from surgery. I was commenting last month about how I was having a hysterectomy for endometrial cancer I'm not sure if you remember me, anyway… It went well! The surgery was fine turned out the endometrial cancer was stage one so no chemo or radiation. So happy. At the doctor's post-up meeting a week ago, I asked straight away about when I can go on estrogen and he said 1 to 2 years! I am only 46 and a little bit worried about having two years of no estrogen, especially the Estrogen Window and Alzheimer's Disease! I will do what the oncologist said though because he described it as sprinkling garden grow onto cancer and I have to be out of the woods completely before hrt.I will ask him every checkup ha, and about SERMS. I'm skinny fit and love my eggs and cheese so vegan would be so hard- thanks for the vid with ideas for alternatives.
I'm so glad your surgery went well and that your final diagnosis portends and excellent prognosis. If you ever want me to tailor everything to you and assess your menopause management options, you know you can schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I think this is great video to introduce about you to my female friends who don't know about your super important educational channel that all women need to know!
You should know that sharing this education with the women you love amounts to saving their lives. I applaud you for caring about them.
Now that's a hat fit for the Queen!!!!!! (And thank you for all of your videos and the sharing of your knowledge.) :-)
You are so welcome, my dear. You've got the queen cowgirl hat.
I've watched a ton of your videos. This one is particularly good/important/well-delivered. Wow. What is wrong with our health industry? Guess the answer is easy: it pays to keep us sick and out of touch. Any other deficiency state, we address. Yet somehow, with estrogen, we're supposed to just ride it out, thinking that's the "natural way."
It's not at all "natural." We humans are supposed to die at about age 47. But, because of all our medical & scientific advances, we are now outliving our ovaries and spending a full half of our lives in the state of menopause. Other animals do not have menopause.
OMG...I just love you to bits. You have the best way of explaining things. Thank you thank you, for providing this life saving info. ❤️
Oh, Kathy. I'm thrilled that you're discovering all these things that will make the rest of your life the best of your life.
Your outfit is so beautiful! Yes I am disgusted that nobody but you is teaching us this! My hubby is very grateful to you hew got the most out of this video ! I was having terrible heart palpitations for a few years the Estradiol/Climara patch and Taurine supplements has kind of stopped palpitations.
I got my heart checked there was no problem at the time and that was in 2016. My hubby says I am more myself with the patch! It drives me nuts that all anyone I hear say about menopause is the hot flashes which I never got 4 years into menopause.
I think it is a form of denial. My last full time job was as a ladies gym manager. Those menopausal women would come in in the winter at 20 degrees while I am freezing my yams off and ask for the air conditioner! They would gang up on me too! They loved me but not the fact that I wanted them to sweat LOL! They act a little insane with the hot flashes!
It took me so long to get the Climara. Every doctor I spoke to said I was crazy. My primary care doctor said ti was too "radical"
But I am so glad I started taking it! Thank you for the informative video!
You now see how different menopause is from one woman to another. Realizing that helps you to focus on how to manage YOUR menopause YOUR way, and not worry about what other women are doing.
I was kind of figuring that out by reading and talking to women and how their opinions and treatments were so dramatically different but your videos helped to validate what I was already doing and made it so much easier! I read so many books spoke to so many people that I am glad I can just go to one source now!
Hi, I just heard of you from another you tuber and I believe just in time . Thank you so much . You are obviously knowledgeable as wonderful:) caring , with great humor and so beautiful. Thank you 🙏🏻
Welcome aboard, Rosa. 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!)
Your skin is amazing, please share your secrets/regimen!! Always enjoy your videos, thank you!! xo’s
I get this question all the time. And my answer is a real let-down. I use Cetaphil lotion andVaseline. I don't wear make-up (which has gotten me into a bit of a tussle with the video folks). Oh, and I wear hats and I'm vegan. In any case, I have no magic for you.
Do u use Vaseline gel? At night??
I use plain Vaseline (Petrolatum) both day and night. It feels good.
Okay, now you don't have to answer my question that I asked you on another video why? Because this video answered my question :) Thank you and bless you for shedding light on what women can do to effectively avoid those three diseases. Estrogen compensation now seems more important than I've ever been led to understand before. Just have to find one that works for you. So many women have been scared out of trying to balance and compensate for hormone losses that many end up missing the 5-10 year window of opportunity. It ought not be so.
@@MenopauseTaylor I started to have a lot of health problems starting about 4 years ago... I'm thinking there is a relationship... I was an ovo-lacto vegetarian for years, but reluctantly reintroduced fish and chicken about 2 years ago, I thought I might be lacking enough protein, amino acids... now thinking that was not at the root of the problem... Do you have any recommendations for great vegan books that could steer me towards a balanced and healthy vegan diet?
As much as I would like to believe your statistics about how many women die from heart attacks, I do not know one woman in my whole lifetime (64) who has had a heart attack, let alone died from one..... but far too many to count who have died from cancer....mostly breast cancer. I think I am one of those who have avoided HRT because of the fear of breast cancer. I do have osteoporosis and would like to address that through estrogen but would love a natural way to do that....hopefully future videos will address that? I love your common sense approach to health...
I'll address everything, Donna.
Please don't let the women you know make you doubt the statistics. These are the facts. Don't let fear take the place of facts.
Many women who die of heart attacks and "sudden cardiac death." They have no history of heart disease. They don't even know the symptoms of heart attack in a woman (which are completely different from those of a man).
The fact is that your chances of dying from a heart attack are 8 times that of your chances of dying from breast cancer.
As for osteoporosis, what do you mean by the word "natural." If you watch video 22, you'll see that people define that word differently. Depending on what it means to YOU, there are a variety of options in every category for managing osteoporosis.
We won't get to the topic of osteoporosis in detail for quite some time. You would benefit by getting this information now. For that, I can offer you (1) My two-day seminar on February 10 & 11, (2) The DVD of the seminar, available from my website (MenopauseTaylor.ME), or (3) My menopause book, also available from my website (MenopauseTaylor.ME. You might also enjoy the articles I have on my website.
Please don't let only the diseases among your own circle of friends create a barrier for you. I have absolutely no reason to give you anything but facts. I'm not selling any product, just education. Please let me know how I might help you. That's my goal.
Mind completely blown! I can't believe how much misinformation is out there. And how women are encouraged to suffer through it. Unbelievable!
You know, Shannon, I always say that if MEN went through menopause, they would have all the resources in the world available to them. My goal is to revolutionize menopause for women. EVERY woman DESERVES this education and the opportunity to manage her menopause in a way that gives her the very best future. You can be certain that I'll continue helping you in any way I can.
WHY? Indeed?! When I first watched your videos...I foolishly thought the worst thing I would (am) facing is hot flashes. This is a scary reality, making me think we need to supplement with estrogen the rest of our life, not just that five year cut off point we are told about. I’m still back at square one, being post menopause for 11 years, I missed my window, so now, what do I do?
Don't despair, Cindy.
What you do is address how to reduce the risk of each disease:
For preventing a heart attack, you can accomplish almost all your goals by eating a plant-based diet (as close to 100% plant-based as possible), exercising regularly, maintaining ideal weight, practicing good dental hygiene, refraining from smoking, and getting all your vitamins & minerals.
For preventing osteoporosis, you can use a SERM, practice balance exercises, exercise regularly, maintain ideal weight, limit your caffeine & soft drinks, & take calcium & magnesium.
For preventing Alzheimer's, you can avoid processed foods, take lecithin, exercise regularly, and challenge your mind with learning new things (studying languages, going to school, learning to play an instrument, etc.)
I have a slide chart on my website (MenopauseTaylor.ME) that you can buy. It helps you narrow your best options for reducing your risks for all these diseases.
Keep watching, Cindy. You'll see that there's always a way to accomplish your goals.
what about sleep?
I’ve been struggling with sleeplessness for almost 10 years. I wake up very early in the morning no matter what time I go to bed. I wake up every 2 to 3 hours and have trouble falling back asleep as well. I walk around like a zombie almost all the time because of this, I am 53.
My gynecologist has acknowledged that sleep is very important to my health. I have tried lifestyle, changes, supplements, sleep medications, and all kinds of things to solve that problem with limited success.
I believe that if I had HRT, I would sleep better. What is my solid argument to convince her to give it to me?
Robin,
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via online video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
This is one big wake up call thank you for this!
You are so welcome, my dear.
I’m 100% whole food plant based vegan, and although I’m not immune from menopausal symptoms, I’m definitely fairing better than many of my peers especially in the areas of weight, sleep, and mood. 💚
I love it when this education gives you the confidence to know that you are doing what is best for YOU, and your own body proves it to you.
Just went to Dr. Today to get estrogen patch. Had a radical hysterectomy four years gained a ton of weight. So ready for this.
Don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor. ME if you want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU. I do them all online.
You are an angel of information... Just found you and am subscribed❣ Thank you, thank you, thank you🌼
Welcome aboard, Nora. I'm so glad you're here. I can assure you that, if you watch all my videos in order, starting with the very first one, you will understand everything. And you'll be shocked at how much you didn't know. This is the education you deserve!
I respond to comments here on TH-cam daily. So, I'm here to help ... but I'll also know if you're not watching the videos in order. (I'm sort of like your mother: I have eyes in the back of my head.)
I am shocked! And thankful I am hearing you now........ I will share, share, share!
You’re my meno goddess!!! It’s a shame, it’s a crime women do not have this information to make educated decisions . In my country people equate HRT & the pill in your 40’s to cancer. It’s ridiculous. You are teaching me so much. Thank you.
It's a problem everywhere, Marge. Menopause is THE most neglected topic on Earth. And I'm trying my best to change that.
I applaud you for getting this education and making sure you take control of your future. I love helping you.
If you ever want to tailor all the facts and management options specifically to the one and only YOU, just schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I think you are the goddess. And this is the education you deserve!
@@MenopauseTaylor
Thanks so much for getting back to me. I definitely plan on scheduling a one to one session with you. Im currently on tutorial #78 and wanted to educate myself a little further so i can bombard you with all my questions. Do you think that's a good idea?
I was in shock that as I brought up the subject of my menopause at our women’s bible study last week out of the 7 of us 5 women suffer from incontinence, and have for years! They just accept that normal. They are deathly afraid of estrogen, even afraid to talk about it! Not saying that is indeed their issue but sounds as though it very well could be. I have suggested they watch your videos numerous times but as I said earlier it seems like such a scary topic to many women. I worry they are not well informed and have made choices dictated by fear): I’m slowly trying to pass on the wisdom I am gleaning from your videos(;
thank you again Dr. Taylor for all you do!
Dr. Taylor, I also wanted to ask your opinion on something if you feel comfortable answering. I am 48 years old, had a hysterectomy due to fibroids 4 years ago, I am experiencing many symptoms of menopause and recently started estradiol orally. At what dosage would you start me out or think would be the optimal dose at which I should be?
Deborah,
The minimal necessary dosage of estradiol is 1 mg / day.
Here are the minimal necessary dosages of estrogen to accomplish prevention of heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's Disease, depending on the type of estrogen you're taking:
Conjugated Estrogen 0.625 mg / day
Estradiol 1.0 mg / day
Estradiol Patches 0.5 mg / day
Estropipate 1.25 mg / day
Esterified Estrogen 0.625 mg / day
Ethinyl Estradiol 0.01 - 0.015 mg / day depending on the source of the estrogen
Compounded Bi-Est or Tri-Est 2.5 mg / day
You'll want to watch videos 80 - 90 when they air.
Oh, and the younger you are the higher the dosage you'll need. If you're just peri-menopausal, you probably WILL NOT be relieved of your symptoms with dosages designed for women much older than you are. That's why birth control options are so popular for women during peri-menopause. Birth control dosages of estrogen and progesterone are much nigher than the ones in HRT.
I hope this helps!
Boy do I wish this video had been available and I had watched it before I decided that I didn't need my HRT anymore. I thought it was just for symptoms. I didn't learn, until you told me, that it does so much more. My mom has Alzheimer's and osteoporosis. I have osteoporosis, too, as does one of my sisters. Now, I'm too old to take estrogen. Believe me, I would if I could get my hands on it.
xo~linda
You may not be too old. If you want to find out whether or not you're still a candidate for HRT, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. Most women are pleasantly surprised to discover that they can still take it if they so desire. I do all consultations online.
I found you about 1 year ago and started watching from the beginning. I poised questions and you kindly answered. I then fell away I guess I really started neglecting the fact that I am menopausal. Dumb,...... however I have since moved and upon making an apt to establish a new Doc I thought stop putting up with this menopause and get informed take control it can be better. So that being said videos # 74 75 76 77 78. Are ground breaking esp since my 82 year old mother now has Alzheimer’s. Thank you for informing us ladies to our bodies choices and preventing further life . I’m going into the new Doc with questions and plan of action most of all communication. Thanks Doc Barbie 💕🍑🐝
You are so very welcome! You will find that your doctor LOVES it that you have a real education. It makes their job so much easier, and it helps you get what you want. Tell them about my videos, book, etc. The fact that I'm a gynecologist rather than some celebrity or ranting marketer makes a huge difference.
BE SURE to watch through video 100 before you see your doctor ti jeez from shooting yourself in the foot if you have any interest at all in HRT.
I love helping you.
I shared this with my sister. SUCH Important information! Thank you
You are so very welcome, my dear. Be sure your sister knows that you are trying to save her life.
Thank you! I am trying to get through to some of my girlfriends and will share this video. Women are simply clueless when it comes to estrogen loss. Keep up the fantastic videos!
I definitely will. Helping women with their menopause is my passion.
You are brilliant!!!
I love how you teach us using visuals aaand you explain things in such a simple manner that I and many can understand. I had so many misconceptions and my eyes have been opened
I have to watch this video again
Thank you for all you do to alert us and making us aware of our health options
This makes me so happy.
Most women have nothing but fear and misconceptions as their so-called "knowledge." Yiu deserve to really understand everything.
If you watch all my videos in order, starting with the very first one, I guarantee you'll understand everything. (Of course, I do not guarantee that if you jump around out of order. In that case, you'll probably be more confused than ever.)
My goal is to empower you to use factual information that is tailed to YOU. I love knowing that you value that opportunity.
Those arms!! A true inspiration 😉😊
Ha! Thank you. They're actually abnormally long ... making me anatomically incorrect.
My granny died from a fall from crumbling hips as she had Alzheimer’s disease - she had 3 hip replacements to carry on exercising and still her bones crumbled. My mum has heart disease
I am so sorry about your mother and grandmother. But I am glad that you see my education is the truth.
Once again you have opened my eyes! Thank you so much for that. The medical media has instilled fear of estrogen....... why???? What is the purpose??? There must be one. Fear is a hard thing to overcome, your videos have dealt these misconceptions a devastating blow. I'm so happy that my 40 year old daughter is learning from you, she can now avoid these pitfalls. Thank you again.
Actually, Janice, the Alternative & Complementary world has instilled the fear of estrogen, even though (and precisely because) they don't dispense estrogen. They promote progesterone as a "safe" alternative (which is absolutely not the truth). The medical community has had to respond to the fear of estrogen.
As I'll be teaching you, the WHI (Women's Health Initiative) Study in 2001 magnified the fear of estrogen a million times. And it was the lay media who presented the "facts" but only reported half of them. When you learn the real facts from me, it's going to make your blood boil.
For instance, the reported that "HRT for menopause increased the risk of a blood clot 100 times."
Here's the whole truth: HRT was given to women, average age 63 (not the average age of symptomatic menopausal women). The study included 10,000 women.
Without HRT, 8 women (out of 10,000) had a blood clot.
With HRT, 16 women (out of 10,000) had a blood clot. That's a 100% increase!
But, does the 16 instead of 8 OUT OF 10,000 alarm you as much as the "100% increase" language does?
So, now we've got a whole population of women who forfeited their opportunity to take estrogen because of their fear ... all because they didn't get the whole story.
I don't promote any one particular management style. But I do promote the truth. You deserve to know all the facts and decide for yourself what's best for you.
I'm so glad you're with me on this journey to make things better for women everywhere.
+Menopause Taylor ,Thank you for your thorough explanation. My blood is already boiling...... I am one of those women who missed out on HRT. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you Dr Taylor 🙏🏼what an eye opener... All these years I've been under the impression that any form of hrt is a Huge No No!! I've been gorging on your videos this week, after I stumbled on a hot and flashy video. Lucky for me I've not reached pre menopause so I am adequately equipped with the Correct information when I get there 🙌🏼 but unfortunately for my 67 year old mum, she has missed that window of opportunity 😢. I'm unaware of any menopausal Dr's here in South Africa, so your information is gold.
I would like to know what are her options to salvage her future health as she has never had any hrt to date (she's been enduring through the hot flashes and uti etc 😔) and she has her uterus 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Any guidance will be highly appreciated
Ashni,
Have your mom schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will tailor all the facts specifically to HER and help her assess all her options.
As for you, please make absolutely sure you start with video #1 and watch them all in order. That will give you a real and complete education on menopause.
If you watch my video randomly, you will sabotage your entire menopause education.
I am just so glad you're here. My dream is for ALL women to get this education in their 20s.
You're information is so valuable, Dr. Taylor! I share your videos with my sisters and daughter. 😘 Thank you!!
What GREAT information! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I'm in surgical menopause. I'll be getting a referral to get a regular gyno to get bioidentical estrogen and the yearly exams that gyno oncology says I'll need.
And you will be sooo well educated because you have learned all about menopause here at "Menopause University."
I’m not sure about the Alzheimer’s estrogen loss connection..why do so many men get Alzheimer’s then? Same with hardening of the arteries..my dad had a massive stroke at the age of 53 due to HBP and arteriosclerosis. I don’t quite understand the role of estrogen loss in these diseases that are also very common in men.
The main reason people get Alzheimer's is that we get lazy ... in terms of using our brains. Both men and women are guilty.
And, as for your being "unsure" about the estrogen and Alzheimer's issue, that's not a matter of opinion. It's a fact that has been born out in many studies.
Men have heart attacks, too. And when you see the long list of risk factors that contribute to a heart attack, you'll see that there is a lot more to it than just estrogen.
Doubt all you want. But, do you really want to take a chance with doubting these things when all you have to do is avoid them in the first place?
Never substitute what you've witnessed in your little circle of family and friends for statistics that take the entire population into account.
Appreciate the information across several areas/diseases, especially the comparison of statistics!
It helps to put things into perspective, doesn't it.
I have shrunk 1 “ and when I tell the doctor they seem to think that is NORMAL??? My neck is painful and the vertebrae is collapsing - it is not my lack of exercise
Thanks so much!
OMG😱 I am watching this because my daughter is 48 years old and I believe she is peri menopausal, I am 71 years old and wish that the i pad had existed when I was beginning my journey at the age of 35 years old. I was told by my doctor when I asked for HRT he said, I would be at risk of Breast Cancer.
Well it maybe too late for me, even though I am relatively well and active, but I want my daughter to understand the benefits of taking HRT.
Gillian,
I responded to another comment from you about having a consultation. Your daughter should have one, too.
She needs this information pronto so that she can manage her menopause her way. I would love to help her, too.
I used to be hypothyroid for several years. Went to a Chinese medical Dr. was able to slowly lower the dose of my meds. until I was off it all together.
Hi Dr. Taylor!
As usual, another super informative tutorial! I am so, so thankful to have your knowledge base and insight to help guide me through this next phase in my life. The statistic on heart attacks was a mind blower for sure and although scary, it is important to know and be aware of. My gynecologist put me on the CombiPatch (.05mg/.14mg) last July. Is the amount of estradiol in this patch (.05mg - 2 patches/week) sufficient to compensate for my natural loss of estrogen (I miss my sweet estrogen so, so much!)? The other dosage option for the CP is .05mg/.25mg, but the estradiol level remains the same. Thank you again for your generous spirit!!!!
Maria,
You are taking the correct dosage of estrogen necessary to prevent heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's Disease. It's the estradiol that matters, and you're doing it just right.
Thank you so very much for putting my mind at ease about my current dosage. I look forward to your next tutorials and becoming even more empowered on this subject! Happiest of holidays to you and yours!!!
And the same to you, Maria.
I feel so blessed that I found u…🙏🏽❤️
I am so glad you're getting this education, Tiffany. I can assure you that, if you start at video 1 and watch them all in order, you will understand absolutely everything. The same will not be true if you skip around in the order.
And if you ever need my personal help tailoring all the information specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
How to find a doc who knows how much estrogen to prescribe ??
Your wisdom and sharing nature are invaluable!! Thanks so much!
You are so kind. Thank YOU for this kind compliment.
It’s not about having symptoms or having a lack of symptoms!
Exactly! It's about the fatal diseases that are due to estrogen deficiency.
A hot flash will come and go.
A heart attack will come and kill you.
It starts at 2:55 . Thank you!
If you’d like a more efficient delivery of this menopause education, you should (1) Get my book, or (2) Watch the webinars, or (3) Watch the DVD entitled Your Menopause Your Way. They all give you the complete education without the fluff of the videos.
My goal is to meet the needs of all women, regardless of their learning style, and regardless of their command of the English language. Many of my viewers speak English as a second, third, or fourth language. You may not care about them, but I do.
I am the only person providing a complete and unbiased education on menopause. So, I’m trying to serve the needs of all women. I’m sorry I haven’t serve yours well. But I think one of the other options listed above will.
Love this video! ❤️
I'm so glad it helped you understand what menopause is all about.
What an interest and clear perspective. Thank you so much for this. Now, I wonder which way is best? I have been offered pellets with estrogen and testosterone and I am still unsure about that as it seems very invasive. Thoughts, Dr. Taylor?
"Best" is a marketing term. Women are not robots.
You should define your goals FIRST, and then choose your options. If your goals include preventing heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's, nothing that is compounded (such as pellets) is capable of accomplishing your goal.
If you want to avoid pitfalls and marketers, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will tailor everything to YOU and help you assess your options. I do them all online.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you so much for responding. I am watching more of your videos for now. Will get in contact soon!
@@avg1730 I look forward to meeting you and helping you, my dear.
wow i am so shocked all these things i didn't know. only 43 and already prementopausal. i know it's too early and i knew i have got to do somethin because i haven't been feeling right...Thank you off to my dr i go to discuss options and preparted
I just saw my gyno yesterday. I am not in menopause currently. I’m 45 and have been on progesterone for a few years. I let her know yesterday how fatigued and irritable I’ve been. She immediately said she wanted to start me in a high dose of estrogen, but start tapering off over 5 years. According to her, after 5 years the risk of breast cancer is greatly increased. This really makes me nervous. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Also, she told me to just quit the progesterone.
You definitely need a consultation with me. I cannot help you in a comment box. But you deserve to know all the facts and all your options. Please schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME, and I will tailor everything specifically to YOU.
Hola Dr. Taylor, Thank you for the SHOCK! 😊
I told my friends about you and your YT channel but they do not speak english, so I told them about the main shocking info and they were shocked...could not believe me. Well I am watching all your videos in order and reading your notes and your book so I gradually got my education. We just miss the point...we focused on the wrong things and on foolish details
Share what you learn with your friends. It will save their lives.
Eventually, everything I provide for your education will be translated into other languages. I want to help all women.
I am so proud of your taking control of your health education.
You would ROCK it
Hey Dr Taylor! Love you and your videos!
Not sure if you answer questions but thought I would ask!
I ate a vegan diet for 4 years. I am very active, teaching strong yoga practices and resistance training.
My energy was really depleted and I was finding my post exercise recovery was poor. I saw my acupuncturist for a series of treatments and she suggested I eat a small amount of meat and fish. She usually recommends a vegan diet too but said that because our winter season (in Canada) is so long and harsh, a little meat helps the body.
Would you agree with that? Or do you think that just messes up the proper balance?
I'm wondering how I can sustain my energy without it. I know there are a ton of factors, so I'm just wondering what you hypothetically think about it! 🙏💕
Denise,
There are no hypotheticals here. And no one's opinion matters, either.
What does our BODY say? Your own body's opinion is the only one that matters.
We humans have a tendency to listen to everyone and everything except our own bodies. But your body does not lie. So, do an experiment: Eat meat for about 2 weeks and see how you feel. If you feel better, that's your body telling you it needs the meat. If you don't feel better or you feel worse, that's your body telling you it doesn't need the meat.
Ok at 19: you talk about being a vegan and finally I fully agree with you!
Thanks again for this video. I have been binge watching your videos. I was having symptoms hot flashes, night sweats and others. I went to my doctor and she didn't want to give me hormone replacement because she said it causes heart disease. I am going to keep watching your videos.
Consider having a consultation with me. I'll help you tailor all the information in my videos specifically to YOU. That's what counts.
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!
Thank you so much for your videos! This is an eye opening. I am going to watch all of your videos now.
You are so welcome, and 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.
Menopause Taylor thank you so much for sharing this important information with us!! I just started to watch from video 1 and i will watch all of them. 🥰
@@ajmsot4771 You will be so glad you did. I love giving you this education, and I love knowing that it will make the entire rest of your life better.
Menopause Taylor Thank you!!!
@@ajmsot4771 You are very welcome.
Dr. Berg on TH-cam, advises against all forms of synthetic hormone replacement… ie. estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, synthroid, etc.
He says it’s harmful for the glands that those hormones are supposed to come from and not to mention the side effects on your liver, and other organs of synthetic hormones.
How can you get those hormones any other way?
You can’t really unless you eat mountains of phytoestrogens, etc every single day.
Either you go without synthetic hormones or you go on them, but there are pros and cons either way.
Food is food. Exercise is exercise. Hormones are hormones.
They will never do one another's job.
Good luck managing your hormone deficiency the Dr. Berg way.
@@MenopauseTaylor😂 omg i love u
The feelings are mutual, my dear.@@Iceis_Phoenix
Come to think of it, my grandma used to fall and have some type of fractures many times, hip, shoulder I think. And she also had Alzheimer's in the end. I saw the scans of her brain size diminishing over time, it shrunk considerably. It was pretty daunting to actually see it physically in front of you. Funny it's two of the diseases estrogen deficiency causes. She was taking a bunch of medication per day but estrogen was not one of them.
Looks like that's why those things happened to her 😳
I love knowing that this education is going to help you. And I hate the fact that you know I'm telling you the truth by seeing what happened to your grandmother.
I don’t have estrogen or progesterone,I am post menopause. I have a 7:16 little bit of testosterone. My doctor is giving me 1mg, estrogen, 100 progesterone, 7 DHEA . Sounds wrong to me . What do you think Barbie. I just turned 70 😢😢
@@smoothjazz1954 This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via online video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
My only question is how many of those post menopausal women have a really healthy lifestyle? My guess is not many. Are there any studies on women who are really big on healthy lifestyles?
All that matters is YOU. You shouldn't worry about what any other women is doing for her menopause.
Which is the blood test need to take to check the level of estrogen? Only estradiol or the other 4 estrogens?
Oh my! Please, my dear, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. You are lacking some very basic information.
