Thanks for this video! I started HRT due to what I learned from you. I feel so much better and healthier, almost like I’m aging in reverse. My body needs estrogen! I have referred several women to your channel. We need all the information we can get about menopause. 🧡
I Loe knowing that you're making decisions that are based on fact and confidence. Thank you for your compliments, and thank you even more for empowering yourself and other women.
I'm glad that you are doing this whole series. I have watched everything from the beginning and have the book. Unfortunately I did not discover you until after I had sustained several compression fractures due to osteoporosis I didn't know I had. I was only 54 and one year post menopausal. I am now on Prolia. Unfortunately that won't bring back the 3" in height that I lost due to the fractures, but hopefully will prevent future fractures. Thanks to your series and the education that I gained I now take HRT and intend on taking it indefinitely. I also tell all of my female friends about you. Keep up the awesome work!
Oh, Kathy, I am so sorry I couldn't help you sooner. I am so glad you're now. And please don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me to make sure you don't fall prey to any of the many other pitfalls of menopause.
Thank you so much, again. I have good news, had the results of my DEXA back and my osteoporosis is improved, it is now osteopenia!!! Thanks so much for everything, it's lovely to have good news! :D
You look pretty and pink today! As you know I had a devastating fracture that took me 4 years to recover from due to having toxic metal put in me that made me have the bones of a 90 year old but my bones have improved. I found out about this from having a devastating fracture that really devastated my life and finances. I am grateful for this education!
My hope is that every woman can learn what I teach in these osteoporosis videos so that no one ever has to endure a fracture again. As you'll see, there is really no reason women should be fracturing. The problem is that they do not get the information they need ignorer to avoid it. I'm so sorry you've had to suffer, Pinky.
Well, I'm going to make your entire future a whole lot easier, my dear. Just be sure to start at video 1 and watch them all in order, I promise you will be so, so glad you did.
There is no way I can address this adequately in a comment box. my dear. Please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME so that I can get all the details AND tailor everything specifically to you. No two situations are the same. But you do need to address this in a way that will give you complete understanding of it. And that's what I'll do with you in a consultation.
What I sense is there is an overwhelming lack of knowledge by many doctors and medical professionals when it comes to women when they hit menopause. Heart attacks, osteoporosis and alzheimers risks at menopause is a topic medical students need to get more education on. I'm glad I had a gyno oncology surgeon willing to give me estrogen replacement! It's kicked in and I'm feeling better.
The bone fracture related statistics are alarming, but how you explain the importance of looking at statistics correctly is so funny 😁. Makes it easier to take in, thank-you Dr Taylor 🙂🙂
Most people either hate statistics or don't understand them at all. But they're important. SO I find ways to make them completely understandable and useful. I'm so glad this worked for you.
This unit is definately depressing BUT knowledge is power. I definately cant worry about it and not live. I also dont want to live a long life unless I can live a good quality of life. I am glad you build upon everything or I would be overwhelmed. 😬😬
It's a lot more depressing if you don't know this stuff & you end up as a fractured woman in a nursing home! So pat yourself on the back for getting this education now. I applaud you.
I responded to a couple of calls (many years ago) where a woman laid on the floor all night after falling. Each time, they were in good spirits...just cold and hurting. The next day, they died. I thought...when I am old, don’t fall or you’ll die. I had no clue it was due to osteoporosis. I mean, when I heard that word, I certainly did not think it was a serious thing. I beg to differ with myself now...learning from Menopause University. Thank you.
The sad thing is that the experiences of those women who died following a fall is so common. It's just shocking to think that a fall can kill you, even when it's not a traumatic fall or in an unfamiliar environment. Most of these women fall in their own homes.
Anna, There are no legitimate "over-the-counter" estrogen supplements unless you care noting about any long-term benefits such as preventing heart attack, osteoporosis, or Alzheimer's. Why don't you schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME so that I can help you personally. I will make sure you know all the differences in all your options. I would love to help you.
Dr Taylor, love you hat. Could you please advise us on what exercises is helpful to strengthen our bones for Oseto? I hear you about nutrient, taking you estrogen but what about exercise. I heard you in a few other videos touching on it as part of the whole. So I goggled exercise for your bones. That was a joke. Got everything from walking to power weights which I know are not good. So can you please enlighten your views. Thank you. D.
Dana, Videos 212, 213, 214, and 215 will all be on exercise for preventing osteoporosis and falls. You will also see multiple videos in this osteoporosis unit that designate precisely what exercise CAN and CANNOT do in terms of how much bone you have. Just be sure to watch all the videos in this unit. And I promise you will get everything you need. There re 35 osteoporosis videos in this unit.
Is dry mouth a symptom of perimenopause because ive been having a dry mouth for 3 weeks I'm miserable and dr hasn't told me I'm perimenopausel but I have to be because I'm 56 and still have my period 😡 I think my dr got tired of me complaining after telling me that all my blood test are normal in which I don't think there normal because my Ac1 is 5.6 and she told me I'm far from menopause 😡 something is going on with my body or I'm loosing it 😔😢😢😢😢
I can tell by your question that you have not watched my videos in order. You see, you are sabotaging your entire menopause education AND your entire future by disrupting the order. In answer to your question, YES, dry mouth can be a symptom of menopause. But my goal is to give you an education such that everything makes perfect sense to you. I want you to understand everything. If you want to short-cut, please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME and I will teach you everything you need to know to succeed at managing your menopause your way AND I will tailor it al to you.
Thank you for sharing all of your videos! I think you are amazing and truly so helpful! Please may I ask should you be on the HRT patch in your perimenopause, or is it just once you get to your menopause? My mother, sister, cousin, aunt, uncle all have osteoporosis so I do worry but found my hormones went through the roof while on the HRT patch before due to maybe having too much progesterone I'm guessing? so I thought I would wait until I reach my menopause but worry is that too late? thank you so much for your help.
You may start HRT at any time. Think of it as bridging the gap between losing your own estrogen and replacing it. Compare it to losing your insulin. How long would you want to go without it or with a deficiency of it before replacing it?
@@MenopauseTaylor Awww thank you so much for your help :) I am so grateful, I wish I had checked back to see this comment as I have just reached my menopause at long last :) I think you are amazing and I absolutely love your style along with your positive outlook on menopause! Always inspirational. I have been watching your videos from the beginning and love them all. Thank you for everything you do for us xoxo
Sorry, Dr. Taylor, I'm still confused. When people say that you should lift weights to strengthen your bones post-menopause, does the resistance increase the density/quality of your bones or the quantity of bone mass? I remember in a previous video you talked about your own exercise routine and, in that, you lifted some light weights...
Suzy, I will give you 4 videos on exercise FOR osteoporosis in this unit: 212, 213, 214, and 215. Exercise increases the density of your bones ... but only to a point. It is not possible to replace lost bone with exercise. It is only possible to prevent bone loss you have normal bone.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you. I remember reading once that falls were the biggest danger in old age, that once an elderly person fell and sustained an injury, quality of life usually deteriated very quickly. Even if it's worse for women, it affects men too. My own father passed away, indirectly, from a fall when he fell and broke his hip. Becuase the bone had shattered into so many pieces, he needed surgery for the doctors to go in and try and piece it back together. But he didn't survive the general anethesia...thanks for educating us on this.
How if I have estrogen dominance in menopause ..been in menopause for 3 years...should I just take progesterone? If I take bioidentical usp estrodial I get sooo tired hungry hot flashes and feel like crap ...
Anni, You have a huge misunderstanding about "estrogen dominance." And there is no way I can help correct your misunderstanding in this comment box. But I can help you a lot in a Consultaiton. Please, please consider scheduling one at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I really want you to feel better, and I can if you schedule a consultation.
Help! I’m 60 and all this is so new and I’ve never heard before. Is it too late to start HRT? I don’t remember when menopause started- I think around 50-51.
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. 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. 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!
Thank you! All of this sounds amazing, and I actually considered doing it before but I am wondering if it’s all just too late to even go down this road? I watched your video on when to start HRT and what I thought I heard was that my body has not had estrogen for so long it could be damaging. 💁🏼♀️
Menopause Taylor Hello! is there a video or perhaps a place on your website that has this detailed info as I’d like to print it. I was also wondering if you would be able to give some idea of cost range. It would be helpful. We are self pay so I have to be mindful of this. Thanks so much. You are definitely one of a kind. More doctors should have the heart of a teacher as you do. ❤️
The glue is the most common complaint about the patches. Most women just let it wear off. Please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you want to address all your options personally.

Yes, good news is always wonderful. Congratulations, my dear.
Can you please tell us what you did to gain BMD? I did high intensity weight training and gained 1% BMD in 2 years from age 36 to 38. No HRT.
You look pretty and pink today!

How much I love this lady!
Well, I sure how you know that I love you, too! That's why I'll do whatever it takes to give you the menopause education you deserve.
Could you address bleeding while on HRT and what recommendations to address this? Love your videos!!

This is true. You will learn all the risk factors in video 203. And you will see that Caucasian race and thin body habits are two of the risk factors.

Hi Dr Taylor. I am on oestrogen patches and really struggling to remove the glue from them. How on earth do you get it gone without damaging the skin?
I dont know what Dr Barbie will tell you but just sharing my experience. yes they are super difficult. I use medical tape.
The glue is the most common complaint about the patches. Most women just let it wear off.
Please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you want to address all your options personally.
Try some eye makeup remover on a qtip - roll over the glue a few times till it sticks to the qtip.
