Well seeing you cry hurt my heart. You are strong and will get through it. I don’t really have any advice but just wanted you to know that I’m here to cheer you on❤
All I can say is menopause sucks I can tell you this I gained so much weight, my energy level is close to zero. I’m growing a beard and mustache I don’t even know this she turning into he thing so that’s my journey! I hope your doing good Have a blessed day❤
Amy, yes, please, continue to talk about it. I am 51 and am experiencing the same symptoms. My husband thought I was crazy when he asked me why I was crying and I said, “ I don’t know.” I get it girl! You’re not in this journey alone and it’s great to hear others women share. Assures me I’m not going crazy! I bought that book, You Can’t Hurt Me. I started it, but I got into another book called Choose Strong and finished that one first. I now will go back and continue to finish reading that one.
Girl! I’m 51 and am in late perimenopause! I see a functional med doc bc they are more willing to do extra lab work and give HRT than a typical pcp. She started me on a little estrogen patch (mine was getting close to zero), a progesterone pill (I have a uterus), and a testosterone cream bc mine was almost none existent. I now feel so much better!! My moods have normalized and my energy is back! Go get ya some HRT! 🩵
I’m so sorry. I’m going through the same thing, I’m 52, it’s awful! I’m not taking any medications yet. I feel you girl! So, yes please, I would love to follow your journey! Any tips, or advice will always help! Hang in there!
I am hopefully just about over peri and I did it with no extra anything. My doctor said it was the best. Eat vegetables and fruit etc. but no extra victims only my Centrum Silver! Best to you & Amy!
I’m 72 I can sympathize with you. I’ve been that journey. I’ve been a subscriber for around 3 years. I’m willing to listen to what you feel like you need to or want to share girl . I’m praying for you❤.
Amy ,my daughter started Peri-Menopause last year and started having all the symptoms your describing ,she went to a gyno doctor and she got patches and immediately started feeling much better. She exercises, mostly hiking and walking it made a big difference for her. She even told me she thought she was starting to loose her mind, that’s when I told her to make a appointment with a doctor. She is doing Great Now. Peri-Menopause is No Joke.😢 Get appoint ASAP👍🏻🤗hugs Texas Lady👍🏻
Thank you Amy for being you, you just may have saved alot of souls with your honesty. Boy o' boy, I wish we had a Zoom conference with all us girls about dealing with the inevitable menopause state of life. Four years ago it was my turn and I thought I was going crazy. Only my dearest friends stayed for the ride, and what a bumpy ride. For me it started with major fatigue. Like you I have always prided myself in being able to take long hikes. But at 60 I started to have problems trying to get back to the house. Then the emotions came. Finally fed up with my primary who had no time for me, I literally marched my ass into a neurologist office once I was at the point that my legs didn't work, my stomach burning, and couldn't sleep fighting peripheral neuropathy. He did a few test, and before he spent my money, he gave me a blood report that showed i was extremely deficit in vitamin d. But taking supplements for me made it worse. He said through that crap out before you kill yourself. Get out in the sun for 15 minutes in the early morning for at least 3 days a week. Start incorporating omega 3s like salmon into your diet. Also, remember as our bodies age our blood thickens, so being out in hot humid weather can really do a number on our energy and mental well-being. So hang on sweet sister this is going to be one crazy wild ride.
Yes girl-take us on this journey and I’m SO impressed and inspired w/your workout. I’m definitely trying the legs up a wall…it looks strangely comfortable😀
First of all, YES! You will survive. You will get through it. The fact that you are in great physical shape will help you so much. The emotional effects are real. If you feel tears, let them flow! You really don't need a reason! If you're tired, sleep. Behind to yourself. The hot flashed and night sweats (which I never experienced!) are yucky! Get this book: What Fresh Hell Is This?: Perimenopause, Menopause, Other Indignities, and You!!! and this one: The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change They will answer your questions and make you laugh! Hang in there, girlfriend! Sending you love and caring!!
I saw that boo on Amazon!!! I haven't really had to many hot flashes. I had them when I was heavier but don't really get them now. It's the exhaustion I don't like.
What a blessing, your video popped up ! I am peri meno too! Praying for you !! I have no real words of advice, other than low carb & more animal protein & fats has helped me. Hot flashes greatly diminished . Not eating wheat, processed food & sugar also … has lifted the brain fog . God will get you through this!! You are NOT crazy, sweet sister . It took a lot of bravery for you to put yourself out there , like this ! I’m sure you’re helping so many women !! Sending you a HUGE hug from East TN ❤❤❤
Hi Amy. Please keep having your thyroid blood panel checked. I feel for you. I had a complete hysterectomy at 42 and am 63. Hormone patch right after & that was it. Dr 's did not want to give me hormones due to my mom passing away at age 56 of metastatic breast cancer. So I am postmenopausal dealing with osteopenia. I also have hypothyroidism & low iron . Please talk to your obgyn about vitamins , hormones, & options for you. She/ he can do blood work & check blood work & check your hormones & thyroid function levels , iron levels & more. Love you girl & praying for you. You can get through this. Added. Also, an anniversary date of a loved one has caused this to happen to me. Crying & etc. & u realize it is an anniversary date of a death of someone you loved. Love you.
Definitely not crazy but you’re going to feel like it! This,too, shall pass. Ask your chiropractor about vitamins and supplements. Most chiropractors are super well trained in nutrition.Also, look into acupuncture. May the force be with you!
On the bright side. When all of the drama is over there's freedom from having to use ladies products, having cramps, and all the lovely emotional swings, birth control, (woo hoo,) shaving your legs and pits, (hair doesn't grow much anymore.) take it from someone who's been there and survived.
Honey you are NOT crazy! Its your hormones making you feel that way. Or possibly your thyroid. Get to the right drs, get checked out and get what you need to make you feel like you again ❤
Yes Yes Yes! I’m 59, way past menopause and the things a woman goes through is not covered nearly enough. So many new studies about the toll it takes on women. We need a lot more doctors specializing in it.
I was in the same mental state last summer. I have history of cancer from a young age of 26 & being 55 now I am struggling with the debilitating side effects of treatment. I didnt know for sure if it was menopause & my endocrinologist tested me & sure enough I was right in it but thankfully near the end. I think I'm seeing that light & the end of the tunnel.....lol I will keep you in my prayers. There is nothing worse than feeling so wacky & not knowing what to do. My emotions have been so sensitive at times. I will take any advice I can get. Love your vlogs! ❤
Girl yes! LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS. I am 47. My period and my emotions are both unpredictable. I want to go the natural route. I don't want to take a bunch of meds. I believe Barbara O'Neil has a book out there somewhere on Amazon. She talks about wild yam cream. And when the emotions hit and your heart and brain aren't in line go...no RUN to the Secret place and talk to our Father about it all. I Love you Amy. You've always inspired me to be my best. You are not alone in this journey. We can do ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS. He is STRONG when we are weak. Praying for you. And remember this is just another adventure. You are an over Comer and a conquer.
Hi Amy!! You are so not crazy. What you are experiencing is so a part of peri menopause and menopause. Speaking to your doctor is the way to go. It does get better so hang in there. I take a BComplex vitamin and also magnesium glycinate. I find they make a difference with mood and the magnesium helps with sleep. Good luck!! Love your videos. ❤️
I’m 48 experiencing induced menopause due to cancer treatment and I can honestly say hardest time of my life by no mean due to cancer that I’m in remission to God be the glory but the menopause side effects are too hard to handle it affects all aspects of life and the impact in my family, my children is tremendously. Brain fog, forgetfulness, tiredness, pain, emotional and the list goes on! Those mood swings are something else! YES! Tell a us we are here to support each others.
I take it over other day (not daily cuz it’s expensive) Amd it comes with a delightful vit D 3 dropper oil! I hate the taste of the greens even though every one raves about it (bannana and pineapple😣😝) but I shooot it down the hatch and I B think it’s more BIOavailable than any pill or gummy.
Oh Amy, bless your heart! I’m 61 and still going through it. I had a heart attack back in 2019 and my Dr. said no more estrogen! I would get anxiety every time I had a hot flash. So, she put me on an anxiety med. And I found a Walmart brand menopause supplement. The supplement seems to work ok. It’s not fun! You’ll get through it! Talk about it all you want! ❤❤
Hello Amy, you will get thru this menopause I'm it least 10 yrs older then you so I can say been there, I did it on my own with no help, no meds nothing. You will get thru, have faith❤
Talk about it if you need to we'll be here and listen! I went through it at 48. To tell you the truth I don't remember it being awful, but maybe I was just lucky. You'll survive with Gods help and friends to encourage you. Love u 2!!
Precious lady, don't struggle! Get a great doctor and get HRT help!!! So many women need to talk about this and no one is talking about it! Speak your truth! You could save lives!! You are not crazy, beautiful soul, I have walked through this hellish journey. The crying is all part of it and it is a hormonal imbalance. You will get through this.
See how quick you revived as you invited us into your home..you have worked so hard keeping yourself strong and working out takes real determination and dedication 😇🙏🥰
I’ll be 49 at the end of August and I’m in the thick of perimenopause. I also lost my mother, very unexpectedly, in December of 2022. So peri- plus grief plus single motherhood …has been a lot. I’m a roller coaster of emotions, low energy, anxious (to the nth degree), foggy in the brain. It’s no joke. But I try to remind myself that this is just another stage of womanhood. Like childbirth, it won’t last forever. As far as your content, I’d love to hear your perspective on this stage of life. It helps to talk to each other about it, I think
Oh sweetie I went thru that 20 yrs agoWhew I was like you always had brain fog and crying for no apparent reason. I to did it the natural way no hormone pills. Up all night could not sleep cleaning cupboards doing laundry and going to work by 8;00 AM . You will be fine once you understand what;s going on. Stay as strong as you are..
Hey girl. Love you and your videos. My heart is with you. I went through instant menopause in 98 with a total hysterectomy. Im 66 and still go through the ups and downs emotionally. We are also going through a timeline shift and it carries a lot of the same symptoms as well. Talk to God, be grateful for everything, and allow all the emotions to come when they come, and the crazy thing about menopause and the timeline shift, is some days you feel great, but the key is to allow yourself to feel however you feel at the moment, because 5 minutes later, you’ll have another one to deal with!! LOL. You’ll definitely make it through this, just breathe and live and love yourself 💕💕
Girl you are not alone I have gone through the same thing! It’s our lovely hormones playing with us! You got this here for you sweetie and yes you are a tough cookie! 😉❤️
YOU. ARE. NOT. CRAZY!! Girl, this is all normal. Your gynecologist will give you the advice and assistance you need, as well as all the beautiful comments ❤❤❤❤
Oh Amy I felt so bad when you started crying , I remember feeling that way when I started the change. I went to my primary doctor and told him I constantly feel on the verge of tears. You’ll be ok get to a gynecologist. Don’t make the mistake like I did of going to a primary who doesn’t know what he was doing. But my gynecologist did straighten things out. You will get through this…it’s just a little bit crazy at times. Keep pushing forward…hugs❤️🙏
Yes if you are going through perimenopause go to a gynaecologist. And Get your hormones checked it’s a blood test. Don’t just go on something without getting a blood test on your hormones first. Get your estrogen and proestrogin tested

This too shall pass! I went through it in my late 40''s. My main issue was sweating so much in the middle of the night. Those HOT FLASHES were no joke. I would have to change bedsheets nightly. I lost 10 pounds in 1 week. I was tired, very tired. I cried like there was no tomorrow. I went to the doctor because everything I read about and tried did not work for me. He put me on Estrogen and another pill. After 2 months, I became normal again, lol. Everything and every issue was calm. I still take them. Plus, B-12 gummies by Olly. This also helps with focusing! I am praying for you. Keep going but rest when the body tells you to. You got this! On the pink subject. I was never a pink person until 3 years ago. I love the color blush! I've noticed little changes like colors, make up and music preference. Embrace it!
My mom passed when I was 38. I’m now turning 47 and I have no idea when/if she experienced these things. I really appreciate you sharing your experience ~ it’s one thing to read and research a subject but another to discuss/watch the “real life” version. I really feel for the women before my generation who had absolutely no help or guidance (from the medical community) with this. All I know is I can’t describe how “I’m tired” doesn’t seem like strong enough words for how I feel. Need to get my vitamin D levels checked again. So short story long Amy, yes, please, continue to share what you feel comfortable with!! ❤
I used black kohosh. I couldn't take hormones after my hysterectomy because of endometriosis. It helped me amazingly. I was a literal mess. I don't have to take anything now. I hot mine at a health food store. ❤❤❤❤❤
You are crying because your hormones are all loopy. Just cry....get it out....don't try to analyze. It is what it is. I drove myself crazy trying to figure it out. You are going to be fine. Best to just let things happen. ❤ love you girl!! I am 62. 6 mo ago had to have a hysterectomy. Ugh. But....feel so much better!!
Hugs to you friend! It was the worst! Mine was medically induced due to surgery in my mid 40s.❤ I still get hot flashes on occasion!🥵 Vitamins, (the one you got is good), 😊melatonin, berries, cherries 🍒 helped me somewhat since I couldn’t take hormones. Nap when you can, lol! I gained so much weight from menopause. Still struggling with losing it!🤦♀️ The blues, brain fog, all normal! You are not crazy!💕
Yes please I'm going through it myself And I'm struggling, my Doctor tells me I'm just gonna have to go through the motions. I already have other health issues so all the things that are available out there my doctors don't want me to take. There is a patch but it's to expensive. Hang in there I know how your feeling.
Yes please talk about it! Im 53..I feel like my hair is thinning out! Itsike suddenly I dont know what to do with it! My period has stopped too the last few months...which is fine...lol. I cant find my words either!!
❤❤❤ Please, I would love to go through this Perimenopause and/or Menopause journey together. I am 43 years old and believe I’m going to through early stages of Perimenopause. I lost my mother 13 years ago to death from alcoholism so I never had a female role model or anything of the sort. I’m a mother of 7 kids (some full grown already) and I need female support/help/advice for myself. I choose to go through Perimenopause and Menopause naturally but I am always getting pushed to take medication for different things. Ugh!!! I just wish I could be heard and understood along with all women. I love you vlogs and hauls 😊😊 You have also helped me understand how eating healthy foods and exercising is very helpful too.
I'm 51, I believe I've fully hit menopause last year at 50 (last period was in that year). My main symptom has been my skin is soooooo dry. I feel like I'm drying out, like I'm petrifying from head to toe. I was very emotional that year, but I thought was because my mom died & we didn't really expect it. I don't like getting older & I don't like drying out at all, but so far, I don't feel like I've had any severe symptoms. If I have, others may notice & I don't. Oh, on the crying issue, since I was a small child that has always been an issue. I can't even see a pet food commercial & am in tears. If I see an elderly person alone in public, I am in tears. For no reason as well. I cry several times a week & always have. You are not alone; it is very normal. I don't think you're going crazy. One positive thing to look forward to, no maxi or tampons anymore! Now that my dear is absolutely wonderful feeling! Yippy! 😜🍾🎉🎊
Hi Amy, I needed a video like this 8 years ago.You are not going crazy, I cried for no reason whatsoever all the time. But the worst of it was the night sweats. get a big fan. Doctor would not put me on estrogen because of cancer risks. I feel like I should have been on something, not sure what. You are in way better shape than I, and healthier. Hopefully it will not last long. 🙏🙏
Girl, you will be ok. Sorry, but menopause sucks. I think the emotions are the worst. So when you need to talk or share with us please do so. Cry if you feel like it, I know I've been there. Due to pre-cancer & family history I had a hysterectomy in my 40's and went into menopause overnight. I was miserable but I survived & I promise you will too. Hugs & love U.
The hot flashes are no joke. I'm 55 and I definitely notice if I eat processed sugar I get so many more hot flashes. I've noticed for me, since I want to go natural, my diet makes all the difference. No they don't talk about menopause as much as they should.
girrllll I have been after a little refrigerator for my video/makeup room to store my face cream and eye cream and my roller! lol I keep it in the frig in the kitchen but thats just inconvenient. ... lol I didnt even think to check out temu. geesh! thank u for sharing. You will get thru this. Life sure is isn't easy is it?!! Love you sweet Amy 😍🥰🥰
Oh gosh!! I just saw your video where you were talking about wanting one and mind had just gotten delivered! go ahead and order one on Temu, I love mine and it works like a charm! I love putting cold moisturizer on my face!! Love you!!!
Amy, I’m going through what you’re going through! I’m a little older than you but I’m feeling it! I swear it sucks to be a woman sometimes! lol! I told my husband men don’t go through nothing compared to women! It ok to let your feelings out and yes I would love to hear more and get ideas too! Take care we love ya! 💕
I watch your channel all the time and love it and you. I went through that around 48. Went to my doctor and he put me on hormones. It made all the difference in the world. He gave me Angeliq. It made me feel normal again. Good luck!!!
I think it would be a great idea to talk about it. It's something we all go through., and I think a lot of women who are going through it right now would be glad to know they are not alone in this and what they are feeling is normal. Even though they aren't alone it helps talking about it or hearing others experiences. I'm beyond that now, at 70, but I would have appreciated that when I was going through it. Let yourself cry if it hits you, don't hold it in. I still cry at the drop of a hat. I didn't use anything through it. I couldn't, but, there may be some who have and can make some suggestions. I'll be praying for you Amy. You're not alone. God Bless! 🙏🙏🙏🙌
Hey Amy , Sunday here in Oz 🇦🇺. Yes it sucks , I hear ya ! I’ve been in menopause since around 50, I’m 52 now. Brain fog, sweats , night sweats , emotional & I’ve never been an emotional person before. Today I woke up & felt so heavy , I was reluctant to get up. Very depressing, anxious etc. so yea I feel you girl !😊 Talk about whatever you feel! You are not crazy ! I’m here for you . Take care xx❤.
Hi Amy...you will get through it...I had all the symptoms and survived from 44 total hysterectomy to now. eight yrs. of estrogen...too many....hot flushes...night sweats..temper flare ups...now I am just fluffy and lazy... LoL.....keep talking if it helps you...get a good gynecologist.... mine wasn't good. ...take care.... Deborah 🇨🇦🙏❤️
Aww girl you will make it through this ! It’s a journey but you can do it it’s a not easy but can do it ! The fatigue is awful don’t be hard on yourself you got this ❤️❤️❤️ it’s not and easy journey but your a strong lady been through it and your right it stinks 😘
Please don’t assume it is just perimenopause, I had all those symptoms and my B-12 level was in the gutter. Have your Dr run some vitamin, thyroid, iron tests on you just to be sure those are all ok. 😊
Amy, I say yes to talking about what you’re going through! You are crying because you are having to deal with the changes your body and aging. It’s so hard and you’re definitely not crazy, I had forced menopause due to breast cancer, but I was not ready for the menopause symptoms. Since you are going to a new ob/gyn, I wouldn’t start on too many supplements until til you get an opinion from them. I’m 70 now and can look back and know that you will get through this and reach out for help. It’s really all you can do💕
So sorry Amy. Hormonal imbalances can affect your whole sense of well being. Most doctors 30 plus years ago knew very little about how to help women…very very few female specialists. Find a really good specialist and they can look at your hormone levels and overall health and figure out what is best for you. Also, just a thought…if you have gradually stopped taking phentermine your body may be adjusting to that as well.
Well seeing you cry hurt my heart. You are strong and will get through it. I don’t really have any advice but just wanted you to know that I’m here to cheer you on❤
Yes please talk about and share. I am 51 and totally understand. It is so hard. Sending you my love
Will do!! Big love to you Lisa!
All I can say is menopause sucks I can tell you this I gained so much weight, my energy level is close to zero. I’m growing a beard and mustache I don’t even know this she turning into he thing so that’s my journey! I hope your doing good Have a blessed day❤
I wanna hear about, because I’ll be there someday. And we r here for u. ❤
This stage of life is no joke and just not fair. Go see your OB and get bloodwork done. I was never in favor of HRT but it saved me and my marriage! 😂
Pink is my favorite color lol
I really like your MTV t shirt!
Thank you!!
Amy, yes, please, continue to talk about it. I am 51 and am experiencing the same symptoms. My husband thought I was crazy when he asked me why I was crying and I said, “ I don’t know.” I get it girl! You’re not in this journey alone and it’s great to hear others women share. Assures me I’m not going crazy!
I bought that book, You Can’t Hurt Me. I started it, but I got into another book called Choose Strong and finished that one first. I now will go back and continue to finish reading that one.
Choose Strong is a great book! I read that one first too!!! Love Sally McRae is a tough cookie!!
Girl! I’m 51 and am in late perimenopause! I see a functional med doc bc they are more willing to do extra lab work and give HRT than a typical pcp. She started me on a little estrogen patch (mine was getting close to zero), a progesterone pill (I have a uterus), and a testosterone cream bc mine was almost none existent. I now feel so much better!! My moods have normalized and my energy is back! Go get ya some HRT! 🩵
Yes, let’s talk about it!! I’m in the same place! 🤯😳😢
My menopause started at 51. I don’t take any hormones and have been fine other than the occasional hot flash! 🥵 You’ve got this Amy!!
I don't want to take hormones either.
I’m so sorry. I’m going through the same thing, I’m 52, it’s awful! I’m not taking any medications yet. I feel you girl! So, yes please, I would love to follow your journey! Any tips, or advice will always help! Hang in there!
I am hopefully just about over peri and I did it with no extra anything. My doctor said it was the best. Eat vegetables and fruit etc. but no extra victims only my Centrum Silver! Best to you & Amy!
I’m 72
I can sympathize with you. I’ve been that journey. I’ve been a subscriber for around 3 years. I’m willing to listen to what you feel like you need to or want to share girl . I’m praying for you❤.

Yes girl-take us on this journey and I’m SO impressed and inspired w/your workout. I’m definitely trying the legs up a wall…it looks strangely comfortable😀
Thank you!!
Yes please! Let’s hear it😊 I’m right there with ya! 53 and going through it too
First of all, YES! You will survive. You will get through it. The fact that you are in great physical shape will help you so much. The emotional effects are real. If you feel tears, let them flow! You really don't need a reason! If you're tired, sleep. Behind to yourself. The hot flashed and night sweats (which I never experienced!) are yucky!
Get this book: What Fresh Hell Is This?: Perimenopause, Menopause, Other Indignities, and You!!!
and this one: The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change
They will answer your questions and make you laugh! Hang in there, girlfriend! Sending you love and caring!!
I saw that boo on Amazon!!! I haven't really had to many hot flashes. I had them when I was heavier but don't really get them now. It's the exhaustion I don't like.
What a blessing, your video popped up ! I am peri meno too! Praying for you !! I have no real words of advice, other than low carb & more animal protein & fats has helped me. Hot flashes greatly diminished . Not eating wheat, processed food & sugar also … has lifted the brain fog . God will get you through this!! You are NOT crazy, sweet sister . It took a lot of bravery for you to put yourself out there , like this ! I’m sure you’re helping so many women !! Sending you a HUGE hug from East TN ❤❤❤
I have a good day and then I have a bad, that's me. I never had your symptoms. I still have flashes. It's like 16 years.😮 I journal for my sanity.
That's a good idea, I've been writing down my good days and bad days, periods and other small things in my calendar so I can see my ups and downs.
I just turned 47. My dr said I can be perimenopausal for 10 years, ugh. I've been emotional irrationally for years now
Your the leader here girlie, we follow and you lead, your good at it.
I had a hysterectomy at age 31 so....
Now 66.
Luv you're not crazy. Just get a multi vitamin. Ollie's is a good brand. You will get through this ordeal.
Hi Amy. Please keep having your thyroid blood panel checked. I feel for you. I had a complete hysterectomy at 42 and am 63. Hormone patch right after & that was it. Dr 's did not want to give me hormones due to my mom passing away at age 56 of metastatic breast cancer. So I am postmenopausal dealing with osteopenia. I also have hypothyroidism & low iron . Please talk to your obgyn about vitamins , hormones, & options for you. She/ he can do blood work & check blood work & check your hormones & thyroid function levels , iron levels & more. Love you girl & praying for you. You can get through this. Added. Also, an anniversary date of a loved one has caused this to happen to me. Crying & etc. & u realize it is an anniversary date of a death of someone you loved. Love you.
Yes. What she said ⬆️
Definitely not crazy but you’re going to feel like it! This,too, shall pass. Ask your chiropractor about vitamins and supplements. Most chiropractors are super well trained in nutrition.Also, look into acupuncture. May the force be with you!
On the bright side. When all of the drama is over there's freedom from having to use ladies products, having cramps, and all the lovely emotional swings, birth control, (woo hoo,) shaving your legs and pits, (hair doesn't grow much anymore.) take it from someone who's been there and survived.
Honey you will be fine!! 😊 I'm 64 years old. I did the full natural way. No hormone pills!!! God will help you with this ❤ you are strong 💪 🙏
Amen to no hormones me too!
Yeah, I don't want to do hormones either.
maybe the patch, bc all the extra symptoms can start coming…
Honey you are NOT crazy! Its your hormones making you feel that way. Or possibly your thyroid. Get to the right drs, get checked out and get what you need to make you feel like you again ❤
Yes Yes Yes! I’m 59, way past menopause and the things a woman goes through is not covered nearly enough. So many new studies about the toll it takes on women. We need a lot more doctors specializing in it.
I was in the same mental state last summer. I have history of cancer from a young age of 26 & being 55 now I am struggling with the debilitating side effects of treatment. I didnt know for sure if it was menopause & my endocrinologist tested me & sure enough I was right in it but thankfully near the end. I think I'm seeing that light & the end of the tunnel.....lol I will keep you in my prayers. There is nothing worse than feeling so wacky & not knowing what to do. My emotions have been so sensitive at times. I will take any advice I can get. Love your vlogs! ❤
Girl yes! LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS. I am 47. My period and my emotions are both unpredictable. I want to go the natural route. I don't want to take a bunch of meds. I believe Barbara O'Neil has a book out there somewhere on Amazon. She talks about wild yam cream. And when the emotions hit and your heart and brain aren't in line go...no RUN to the Secret place and talk to our Father about it all. I Love you Amy. You've always inspired me to be my best. You are not alone in this journey. We can do ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS. He is STRONG when we are weak. Praying for you. And remember this is just another adventure. You are an over Comer and a conquer.
Thank you so much!!!
I'm 53, the hormones are real 😂 Not funny actually but we can laugh or cry😊 Sometimes both within seconds. Love you❤
Hi Amy!! You are so not crazy. What you are experiencing is so a part of peri menopause and menopause. Speaking to your doctor is the way to go. It does get better so hang in there. I take a BComplex vitamin and also magnesium glycinate. I find they make a difference with mood and the magnesium helps with sleep. Good luck!! Love your videos. ❤️
Thank you JoJo!! I take Magnesium every night, it does help settle me down.
Yes, we’re friends, we all with you 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Takeaway from your video: WE ARE NOT ALONE!
Amen and Thank you Lord!!
I’m 48 experiencing induced menopause due to cancer treatment and I can honestly say hardest time of my life by no mean due to cancer that I’m in remission to God be the glory but the menopause side effects are too hard to handle it affects all aspects of life and the impact in my family, my children is tremendously.
Brain fog, forgetfulness, tiredness, pain, emotional and the list goes on! Those mood swings are something else!
YES! Tell a us we are here to support each others.
Love you Amy ♥️
I’m there with and for you, I went through a hysterectomy at 40 and I’m now 76 years old.
Prayers for you sweet girl 🙏

I use AG1 as my multivitamin.
I take it over other day (not daily cuz it’s expensive) Amd it comes with a delightful vit D 3 dropper oil! I hate the taste of the greens even though every one raves about it (bannana and pineapple😣😝) but I shooot it down the hatch and I B think it’s more BIOavailable than any pill or gummy.
Oh Amy, bless your heart! I’m 61 and still going through it. I had a heart attack back in 2019 and my Dr. said no more estrogen! I would get anxiety every time I had a hot flash. So, she put me on an anxiety med. And I found a Walmart brand menopause supplement. The supplement seems to work ok. It’s not fun! You’ll get through it! Talk about it all you want! ❤❤
Can you share what the supplement is?
@@pamelaroark8997 Equate Multi Symptom Menopause Formula. I believe it’s comparable to Amberen.
Hello Amy, you will get thru this menopause
I'm it least 10 yrs older then you so I can say been there, I did it on my own with no help, no meds nothing. You will get thru, have faith❤
Talk about it if you need to we'll be here and listen! I went through it at 48. To tell you the truth I don't remember it being awful, but maybe I was just lucky. You'll survive with Gods help and friends to encourage you. Love u 2!!
Precious lady, don't struggle! Get a great doctor and get HRT help!!! So many women need to talk about this and no one is talking about it! Speak your truth! You could save lives!! You are not crazy, beautiful soul, I have walked through this hellish journey. The crying is all part of it and it is a hormonal imbalance. You will get through this.
Amy it will get better,this to shall pass.You always look so cute.Have a blessed sunday.
See how quick you revived as you invited us into your home..you have worked so hard keeping yourself strong and working out takes real determination and dedication 😇🙏🥰
You are right!! I did perk up bringing you guys in!! Thank you!!
I’ll be 49 at the end of August and I’m in the thick of perimenopause. I also lost my mother, very unexpectedly, in December of 2022. So peri- plus grief plus single motherhood …has been a lot. I’m a roller coaster of emotions, low energy, anxious (to the nth degree), foggy in the brain. It’s no joke. But I try to remind myself that this is just another stage of womanhood. Like childbirth, it won’t last forever. As far as your content, I’d love to hear your perspective on this stage of life. It helps to talk to each other about it, I think
Oh sweetie I went thru that 20 yrs agoWhew I was like you always had brain fog and crying for no apparent reason. I to did it the natural way no hormone pills. Up all night could not sleep cleaning cupboards doing laundry and going to work by 8;00 AM . You will be fine once you understand what;s going on. Stay as strong as you are..
I’m there for the Journey absolutely!!! ♥️
Patricia
Hey girl. Love you and your videos. My heart is with you. I went through instant menopause in 98 with a total hysterectomy. Im 66 and still go through the ups and downs emotionally. We are also going through a timeline shift and it carries a lot of the same symptoms as well. Talk to God, be grateful for everything, and allow all the emotions to come when they come, and the crazy thing about menopause and the timeline shift, is some days you feel great, but the key is to allow yourself to feel however you feel at the moment, because 5 minutes later, you’ll have another one to deal with!! LOL. You’ll definitely make it through this, just breathe and live and love yourself 💕💕
Girl you are not alone I have gone through the same thing! It’s our lovely hormones playing with us! You got this here for you sweetie and yes you are a tough cookie! 😉❤️
Thank you so much!!
Definitely want to hear about it! I am just at the end peri and YES YES the energy level is the worst!
YOU. ARE. NOT. CRAZY!! Girl, this is all normal. Your gynecologist will give you the advice and assistance you need, as well as all the beautiful comments ❤❤❤❤
Oh Amy I felt so bad when you started crying , I remember feeling that way when I started the change. I went to my primary doctor and told him I constantly feel on the verge of tears. You’ll be ok get to a gynecologist. Don’t make the mistake like I did of going to a primary who doesn’t know what he was doing. But my gynecologist did straighten things out. You will get through this…it’s just a little bit crazy at times. Keep pushing forward…hugs❤️🙏
Yes if you are going through perimenopause go to a gynaecologist. And Get your hormones checked it’s a blood test. Don’t just go on something without getting a blood test on your hormones first. Get your estrogen and proestrogin tested

This too shall pass! I went through it in my late 40''s. My main issue was sweating so much in the middle of the night. Those HOT FLASHES were no joke. I would have to change bedsheets nightly. I lost 10 pounds in 1 week. I was tired, very tired. I cried like there was no tomorrow. I went to the doctor because everything I read about and tried did not work for me. He put me on Estrogen and another pill. After 2 months, I became normal again, lol. Everything and every issue was calm. I still take them. Plus, B-12 gummies by Olly. This also helps with focusing! I am praying for you. Keep going but rest when the body tells you to. You got this! On the pink subject. I was never a pink person until 3 years ago. I love the color blush! I've noticed little changes like colors, make up and music preference.
Embrace it!
Hot flashes were the worse.
All i remember about peri menopause is crying for no reason and Hershey Bars made me feel better.
And that is why I keep chocolate in my freezer! LOL!!!
My mom passed when I was 38. I’m now turning 47 and I have no idea when/if she experienced these things. I really appreciate you sharing your experience ~ it’s one thing to read and research a subject but another to discuss/watch the “real life” version. I really feel for the women before my generation who had absolutely no help or guidance (from the medical community) with this. All I know is I can’t describe how “I’m tired” doesn’t seem like strong enough words for how I feel. Need to get my vitamin D levels checked again. So short story long Amy, yes, please, continue to share what you feel comfortable with!! ❤
Yes; please talk about it. I’m going through it as well. I feel the same way as you. Thank you for keeping it real!
I used black kohosh. I couldn't take hormones after my hysterectomy because of endometriosis. It helped me amazingly. I was a literal mess. I don't have to take anything now. I hot mine at a health food store. ❤❤❤❤❤
You are crying because your hormones are all loopy. Just cry....get it out....don't try to analyze. It is what it is. I drove myself crazy trying to figure it out. You are going to be fine. Best to just let things happen. ❤ love you girl!!
I am 62. 6 mo ago had to have a hysterectomy. Ugh. But....feel so much better!!
Okay, going back to watch your video on my TV. Hugs, love and prayers. ❤❤❤
Hugs to you friend! It was the worst! Mine was medically induced due to surgery in my mid 40s.❤ I still get hot flashes on occasion!🥵 Vitamins, (the one you got is good), 😊melatonin, berries, cherries 🍒 helped me somewhat since I couldn’t take hormones. Nap when you can, lol! I gained so much weight from menopause. Still struggling with losing it!🤦♀️ The blues, brain fog, all normal! You are not crazy!💕
Yes please
I'm going through it myself
And I'm struggling, my Doctor tells me I'm just gonna have to go through the motions. I already have other health issues so all the things that are available out there my doctors don't want me to take. There is a patch but it's to expensive. Hang in there I know how your feeling.
Yes please talk about it! Im 53..I feel like my hair is thinning out! Itsike suddenly I dont know what to do with it! My period has stopped too the last few months...which is fine...lol. I cant find my words either!!
See if you can get a female doctor, or better yet a nurse practitioner. They are great and spend more time with you. We love you❤️❤️
❤❤❤ Please, I would love to go through this Perimenopause and/or Menopause journey together. I am 43 years old and believe I’m going to through early stages of Perimenopause. I lost my mother 13 years ago to death from alcoholism so I never had a female role model or anything of the sort. I’m a mother of 7 kids (some full grown already) and I need female support/help/advice for myself. I choose to go through Perimenopause and Menopause naturally but I am always getting pushed to take medication for different things. Ugh!!! I just wish I could be heard and understood along with all women.
I love you vlogs and hauls 😊😊 You have also helped me understand how eating healthy foods and exercising is very helpful too.
I searched for a new doctor specializing in menopause
It made all the difference
Menopause started for me at 50 and now I'm 53. I had a meltdown, made a few lifestyle changes and been hanging-in-there ever since! 😉
I'm 51, I believe I've fully hit menopause last year at 50 (last period was in that year). My main symptom has been my skin is soooooo dry. I feel like I'm drying out, like I'm petrifying from head to toe. I was very emotional that year, but I thought was because my mom died & we didn't really expect it. I don't like getting older & I don't like drying out at all, but so far, I don't feel like I've had any severe symptoms. If I have, others may notice & I don't. Oh, on the crying issue, since I was a small child that has always been an issue. I can't even see a pet food commercial & am in tears. If I see an elderly person alone in public, I am in tears. For no reason as well. I cry several times a week & always have. You are not alone; it is very normal. I don't think you're going crazy. One positive thing to look forward to, no maxi or tampons anymore! Now that my dear is absolutely wonderful feeling! Yippy! 😜🍾🎉🎊
Amy you are not crazy. ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Amy, I needed a video like this 8 years ago.You are not going crazy, I cried for no reason whatsoever all the time. But the worst of it was the night sweats. get a big fan. Doctor would not put me on estrogen because of cancer risks. I feel like I should have been on something, not sure what. You are in way better shape than I, and healthier. Hopefully it will not last long. 🙏🙏
Girl, you will be ok. Sorry, but menopause sucks. I think the emotions are the worst. So when you need to talk or share with us please do so. Cry if you feel like it, I know I've been there. Due to pre-cancer & family history I had a hysterectomy in my 40's and went into menopause overnight. I was miserable but I survived & I promise you will too. Hugs & love U.
The hot flashes are no joke. I'm 55 and I definitely notice if I eat processed sugar I get so many more hot flashes. I've noticed for me, since I want to go natural, my diet makes all the difference. No they don't talk about menopause as much as they should.
girrllll I have been after a little refrigerator for my video/makeup room to store my face cream and eye cream and my roller! lol I keep it in the frig in the kitchen but thats just inconvenient. ... lol I didnt even think to check out temu. geesh! thank u for sharing. You will get thru this. Life sure is isn't easy is it?!! Love you sweet Amy 😍🥰🥰
Oh gosh!! I just saw your video where you were talking about wanting one and mind had just gotten delivered! go ahead and order one on Temu, I love mine and it works like a charm! I love putting cold moisturizer on my face!! Love you!!!
I went through it at 41. I had a full hysterectomy. I'm 59 now 🙏 for you.❤ Let the tears flow it helps.
Amy, I’m going through what you’re going through! I’m a little older than you but I’m feeling it! I swear it sucks to be a woman sometimes! lol! I told my husband men don’t go through nothing compared to women! It ok to let your feelings out and yes I would love to hear more and get ideas too! Take care we love ya! 💕
I watch your channel all the time and love it and you. I went through that around 48. Went to my doctor and he put me on hormones. It made all the difference in the world. He gave me Angeliq. It made me feel normal again. Good luck!!!
I think it would be a great idea to talk about it. It's something we all go through., and I think a lot of women who are going through it right now would be glad to know they are not alone in this and what they are feeling is normal. Even though they aren't alone it helps talking about it or hearing others experiences. I'm beyond that now, at 70, but I would have appreciated that when I was going through it. Let yourself cry if it hits you, don't hold it in. I still cry at the drop of a hat. I didn't use anything through it. I couldn't, but, there may be some who have and can make some suggestions. I'll be praying for you Amy. You're not alone. God Bless! 🙏🙏🙏🙌
Hey Amy , Sunday here in Oz 🇦🇺. Yes it sucks , I hear ya ! I’ve been in menopause since around 50, I’m 52 now. Brain fog, sweats , night sweats , emotional & I’ve never been an emotional person before. Today I woke up & felt so heavy , I was reluctant to get up. Very depressing, anxious etc. so yea I feel you girl !😊 Talk about whatever you feel! You are not crazy ! I’m here for you . Take care xx❤.
Send me your power ball recipe please! 😋😘
Ok! I'll text it to you now :)

LoL.....keep talking if it helps you...get a good gynecologist.... mine wasn't good. ...take care.... Deborah 🇨🇦🙏❤️

Tshirt.....MTV turned 43 on August first!!
Bless your heart it will be ok you will get through it.
Please don’t assume it is just perimenopause, I had all those symptoms and my B-12 level was in the gutter. Have your Dr run some vitamin, thyroid, iron tests on you just to be sure those are all ok. 😊
😢😍💖💝❤️😘 LOVE YOU!
I love you too!!!!
This might give you a good laugh? I cry to when its time to go to Walmart 😂Things will be okay Dear!🌻
This is how I feel everyday. I'm a 44 emotional,brainfogged,fatigued hot mess express.
Sure...vent your feelings sweetie.
Yes we wanna hear it girl.
its ok to cry, i feel you girl.
I enjoy you so much ❤
Amy, I say yes to talking about what you’re going through! You are crying because you are having to deal with the changes your body and aging. It’s so hard and you’re definitely not crazy, I had forced menopause due to breast cancer, but I was not ready for the menopause symptoms. Since you are going to a new ob/gyn, I wouldn’t start on too many supplements until til you get an opinion from them. I’m 70 now and can look back and know that you will get through this and reach out for help. It’s really all you can do💕
Not crazy just part of it
I take vitafusion...love them! I also take magnesium glycinate! Google the benifits ❤
you need some alone happy, relaxing time.
So sorry Amy. Hormonal imbalances can affect your whole sense of well being. Most doctors 30 plus years ago knew very little about how to help women…very very few female specialists. Find a really good specialist and they can look at your hormone levels and overall health and figure out what is best for you. Also, just a thought…if you have gradually stopped taking phentermine your body may be adjusting to that as well.
