I am so sick and tired of people saying that they will just suffer through as naturally as possible- they have no idea of the risks that they are taking by doing that long-term. I saw a Naturopath recently for unrelated reasons and she tried to talk me into stopping my HRT and told me that all I needed was progesterone cream. I am 43 years old and went through premature/early menopause and I know how foolish the advice she gave was- I also have friends who believe their essential oils will be enough to help. The answer to those who say they just want to get through as naturally as possible is that replacing what is missing is the most natural thing that we can do! There is nothing that we can do to raise our estrogen levels once we are post menopausal other than to take estrogen! I am so sad that so many women have been deceived. Women who I know are losing their minds and losing their marriages etc. etc. and still refuse to wake up
Woman 25 years ago were given Pharmaceutical HRT. Woman lived long lives, outlived men statistically. Now 25 years later, woman go to their care givers, and are told to take black cohosh and vitamins. When Woman return with no relief, there given antidepressants. It will be of no surprise to me if Woman no longer outlive men in rhe future. And yet, Woman I speak with 50-60 yo.. absolutely will not take HRT. It's unbelievable the Pharmaceutical medication people will take without taking a pause. Yet HRT is a no for all I know. It's illogical.
I get hostility when I mention estrogen replacement is good for us and don't fear breast cancer. They scare women with 1 in 7, sure, 1 in 7 women over the age of 70/75/80+ when they could due of a heart attack at 65
OMG I do not know how you can keep calm. This video should be seen by all women. Thank you for everything. At least you know so many of us appreciate all your hard work. I hope you are well and I send you my best wishes ❤
Yes, you are the first doctor that has taught me this. This is shameful. I lost so much bone mass and right in the middle or towards the end of menopause, I fractured a disk that trapped my spine and led to paralysis. I did a multitude of tests , and found that my femur was missing and my bones were wearing out. No one mentioned tests for estrogen etc . Talk about brain fog....I had / have it. I was just sent home to make the best of what I could. There was no treatment to stop the brain loss. Thanks for this tutorial.
So I went to a cardiologist because my GYN wasn't "comfortable" with me taking HRT (because I had a pre-cancer in my breast 15 yrs ago) and I told the cardiologist I was concerned with making sure my heart and circulatory system were in good shape before taking HRT. He argued that heart attack was not a consequence of estrogen defficiency and that taking HRT would not help prevent heart attack. Wow. I just don't understand. I know you said the "bread and butter" comes from the diseases that could be prevented, but could they all be this corrupt or ignorant? What is going on with these drs that they are not taking the research you are citing into account? Having been a part of the academic and medical research field, I am just so amazed. I know these drs are required to go to continuing ed conferences, but maybe they are just choosing the topics they are interested in for their continuing ed and ignoring the parts of the conferences they should be going to because it interferes with their chosen leisure activity at the conference (mini vacation). Maybe no one reads journals anymore. I don't get it. Scientists are supposed to have open minds!
Dear Dr. Taylor, thank you so much, this was one of the BEST videos ever! I watched all your videos, and I'm so thankful that you are sharing such valuable information and education with us! I'm on HRT and feel great. I really like the idea suggested below to create a talking point sheet that we could present to our doctors or anyone else ignorant of the subject. I also think we should even push this further in medical schools, and inform men and women at a young age in schools, and use media to spread this amazing education. Congratulations on your courage and commitment!!!!
Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts. My dream is for ALL women to get this education in their 20s. And I am making educational resources for all the professionals who provide services to menopausal women ... but know absolutely nothing about menopause. Maybe this will make a dent in the horrible state of affairs on menopause.
I never knew anything about menopause until I found your “ university “. I am soooo glad I found you during my peri menopause stage. I am on HRT now and feel fantastic. Thank you thank you thank you!❤️
Never knew these diseases were due to estrogen loss. You would think our doctors would tell us. Unbelievable. Thank you Barbie,for caring about us. One thing: our gynecologists have failed. I am taking thyroid replacement due to a thyroidectomy so your analogy is excellent. I used it with my gyne, she had nothing to say back, except ask which patch i wanted and what dosage lol. Thanks to you, i knew what i needed!!!
Wow! Thank you so much for this EXCELLENT video, Dr Taylor. 🌸 You brilliantly analyze and lay out the status quo for us. It does make me feel like “blowing a gasket” as well, to say the least. I think this would be a great video to send to our doctors, if we’re not getting the treatment we deserve. It’s so powerful and covers all the essences.
Loved this video!! I am now looking at conditions in the mouth differently which seem to present in women who are peri and post menopausal. Conditions such as burning mouth syndrome, lichen planus, tooth loss and alveolar bone loss. I am a dental hygienist of over 20 years and started researching these dental conditions in relation to menopause. Dentists don't seem to think of the correlation..especially if they are male. Thank you!! Do I mention you and your videos to all my menopausal clients..you bet I do!!

Thank God you are passionate about educating us. I, for one, am incredibly grateful for your very informative videos. I "always" learn something new after watching each of your videos. You've helped me feel more empowered to insist my gynecologist keep me on my HRT. I had a hysterectomy when I was 44-years-young (2007). My ob/gyn put the HRT patch on me while I was still in the hospital. I've been on 2mg per diem. However, when I moved back to Florida (2017), each physician I went to refused to keep me at this dose, and weaned me down to .5mg. Then, after moving back to Colorado (2020), and getting re-established with my gyn. practice, whom had previously had me on the 2mg/diem; tried to keep me at the .5 the Florida physician has had me on. After finding you on TH-cam, and learning the minimum dose for my oral Estradiol should be 1.0mg; I was able to successfully convince my physician to bump me up to this minimum amount. However, I still didn't feel as good as I use to (back in 2017 when I was last on the 2mg/diem dose). Through persistence, I was able to get my physician to write a Rx for 2.0mg/diem of Estradiol (oral pill) last week. (Woo-Hoo!) I can't thank you enough for providing me with the education and confidence to advocate effectively in order to achieve this successful resolution. Forever grateful! ;-D
I have had a similar experience. It is the confidence that Dr Barbie provides that has enabled me to take the RIGHT dose of HRT for ME! Otherwise, as she states in this video, what is the flipping point of taking a replacement of anything! I get fired up too 😆❤️🌻
@@mariatedesco7361 Exactly! If I drop my dose of estrogen below 1.5 mg my hot flushes and night sweats return. What would be the point? Trust your body to tell you what it needs.
I am currently on 2.5mg of oral estradiol. I need that high of a dose for my mental health, insomnia, and night sweats. I am 58 and had a hysterectomy about 16 years ago. I took 1 mg oral for several years, but seem to need more the older I get. 🤷♀️ Since I have a lot of heart disease in my family, I am glad to have learned that estrogen is good for my heart as well.
I've just discovered your channel recently and thank God for that! I've just started perimenopause and your content is the most comprehensive so far! Thank you for your content and it's come into my life at the perfect time. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Welcome to "Menopause University," my dear. If you start with video #1 and watch them all in order, you will understand everything and get the menopause education you deserve. If you watch my videos randomly, you will completely sabotage your entire menopause education. And if you ever want a shortcut and to have everything tailored specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
@@MenopauseTaylor This comment comes 3 months after these last few exchanges we had above.I have since starting taking progesterone and there's been an increase in my tinnitus. I don't know if it's a coincidence or due to the progesterone. Do any of your videos discuss a link between tinnitus / perimenopause and HRT? I'm on video # 26 so far. I am watching your videos in order but in this particular case, my tinnitus is affecting my sleep and I need immediate help. Thank you in advance. 🙏🏼
You make me smile. Yes, although picked the most unpopular topic on Earth and turned my TH-cam channel into a classroom and will never have the millions of subscribers that beauty channels have, I love every minute of this. Thank you for appreciating my efforts.
If anyone here wants to confirm with another source that everything this woman is saying is true then go read Estrogen Matters. I am convinced, thank you👏
Thank you for this! The consult I had with you was very helpful!! I got with my Dr and was able to plead my case and she listened and we are going to try to do some things to up start upping my estrogen to the levels that I believe it will need to be at. I will keep pushing till I am where I need to be. Thank you so much for helping to arm me with the knowledge and courage to keep being my own advocate and get what I know I need.. it didn't take as much as i thought it would.. but of course we aren't there yet!
The risks are worth being on HRT for me thanks to this education you have been teaching us. So grateful for your honesty about hormones, the diseases, etc. Wish the medical field would catch up with the proper information about HRT. They are truly killing some women because they focus on the risks more than the benefits. So grateful you teach both the risks and the benefits. Thank you. ❤ I had to edit my comment and add that you look extra beautiful in this video.
Thank you so much for bringing fourth the truth for women , which has been hidden. This is such important knowledge that rightfully belongs to females. I’m hoping my doctor will give me hormone replacement. You are a one of a kind lady and a gem ❤️💐
Alison, Please, please, have a consultation with me BEFORE seeing any physician. I will arm you with all the information you need, help you weigh your benefits and risks, and school you in how to navigate the medical system in order to get what you want. There are more pitfalls than you can possibly imagine. And, if you go to your doctor before having a consultation, you could burn your bridges without even knowing it. You do not need any labs before having a consultation with me. All you need to do for scheduling is go to MenopauseTaylor.ME.
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. I do them all online.
Im 49 and had my annual gyno appt & because of now daytime hot flashes (among other things) being so miserable I brought up menopause & she insisted I was not in it. To please me she ran HST & my number was 73. That was the message I got from the office. I had to send a message and schedule another appt to discuss this. Where I asked about these diseases and was told yes but there was the same diseases by taking hormones and because I smoke she will not give me estrogen (I have a mirena iud) but she would give me an antidepressant & vaginal inserts. AND if I quit smoking she will then Consider estrogen but her “hope is that I would find the antidepressant would take away the hot flashes and I would decide against estrogen” I pushed and questioned the weight gain and facial hair growth & hair loss and she told me there are many ways to deal with the weight gain. Surgery, diets, pills and even a diabetic medicine that has proven to show great results for weight loss and she would be willing to prescribe me this if I didn’t want to go the surgical route. I am not diabetic and not thrilled about the thought of weight loss surgery. I’m blown away by all the ways she is offering to avoid estrogen yet willing to prescribe everything else including going under the knife. Just flabbergasted. That’s why I am here.. to educate myself so that when I find the right Dr for me I know how to deal with all of this. Thank you for this video and all the others! We need to be educated. Just received your book in the mail too. Appreciate you arming women with our options and truth.
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. But you need the benefit of a personal consultation. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
Gosh, What a great Video!!! Chockfull of amazing information. Thanks again for my recent consultation -thanks to your coaching and teaching me to use the correct terminology, I was finally able to convince my Functional Medicine Doctor to prescribe me the 100% Bio -identical GEL(instead of the Bi-est I was on) and also to up the dosage enough so that I am finally using a little over the MINIMUM recommended dosage to fight the 3 big diseases. I look forward to my follow-up with you. You are such a gift. Love you! and your bubbly personality. Have a wonderful day. I will definitely be sharing this video.
I cannot believe how much I’m learning from your videos! My daughter recently asked me about DIM. I know it’s promoted to help with metabolizing good estrogens & diminishing the “bad” estrogens. It’s also promoted to keep men from converting testosterone to estrogen. Is it beneficial or does it actually block needed estrogen in women?
It's 100% marketing. DIM is nothing more than what's in all cruciferous veggies! Di-Indolyl-Methane. You've fallen prey to a marketing scam. Just eat your veggies.
Hi, Could this be true that Estrodial thru patches and cream work then stop working in some women? It seems like they work for awhile then quit working ? Is this case would the femring absorb Estrodial into my body better? Is the pill safe ?
Anything is possible. We all absorb and metabolize estrogen differently. This is precisely the kind of thing I can help you with in a consultation, but not a comment box. If you ant one, please schedule it at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
Hi Menopause Barbie ,Thank you do much for all you do. I have heard that Estrodial oral pill causes weight gain but not the topical/transdermal methods can you please tell me if this is true?!?!
You have heard misinformation, my dear. MENOPAUSE itself causes weight gain. Weight gain is a direct symptom of estrogen deficiency. (I presented this in the very early videos. You have to watch them in order if you don't want to sabotage your education. alternatively, you can schedule a consultation with me.)
Don’t forget the ugliest paradox , of doctors putting their patients on estrogen blockers , for ‘estrogen fed cancer ‘ I think that’s all our doctors know to do is treat the symptoms , such a waste of med school .
50% of women who start on Estrogen blocker stop taking it within the first year because they can't tolerate living with very low or no estrogen. And, and I haven't met a woman yet who could tolerate Tamoxifen or Arimidex estrogen blockers yet.
I was prescribed an estrogen blocker for my low grade breast cancer and took it for 17 days. That was enough. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get estrogen because no one will give me any. But I can easily get narcotics prescribed. Please someone tell me how I can find someone to put me on HRT and chose for myself which diseases I’d rather risk. I’ll sign waiver. I just don’t want to live like I am now.
Birth control pills are higher dosages of the same hormones that are in HRT. Which is best for YOU depends on YOUR situation. I can help you assess this in a consultation if you schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
Perhaps I’ve missed it but I wish there was a video specifically addressing post menopausal women in their 60’s and beyond who have missed the window of opportunity for starting HRT. What should we do?
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 video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
I’m hearing so much talk lately about “estrogen dominance”…? What’s that all about? How can you be going through menopause and be estrogen dominant? I thought we were estrogen deficient? Also, I was trying the HRT and felt horrible. I know the dosage was incorrect and the doctor and I never could get the right dosage for me. Another friend of mine is going through the same thing with the dosages and feeling horrible! If our hormones change and lab tests can lead us in a wrong direction, how can we address these things in a timely manner with accurate diagnosis and relief?
Ahh, your question tells me that you have definitely NOT watched my videos in order. I presented the education on that ages ago. Please do not thwart all my efforts to give you the menopause education you deserve. Start with video # 1.
I’d be curious what kind of feedback you’re getting, (if any) from healthcare providers as a result of this video. I think it’s clever you mentioned you’re also a lawyer. You’ll probably get asked for consultations in that capacity from doctors. 😄
Hi. I am just perusing comments left and saw yours -- the 'great' doctor has a new video number 288 that can assist you with the answer. Also there is other videos from priors years too that she has gone through such.
If you watch these videos in order, starting from the very first one, you will understand absolutely everything! That little number after each title tells you the order. Or, you can go to my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME and click on the TH-cam Video Tutorials tab. There, you'll see them all lined up in order & you can just click on the thumbnails & watch the videos.
This is variable from one woman to another, Some women have symptoms only during peri-menopause. Others have them forever. What is true for all women is that your heart, bones and brain age rapidly in the absence of estrogen. And that puts you on the road to the diseases of estrogen deficiency (heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's)
But we still do not know what the optimal levels our E2 should be at to prevent bone, heart & brain issues... We still do not know what the best E2 delivery method is to achieve those levels. Still lots of guessing, not enough science...
There ARE no "LEVELS" for this. You really, really, really need to go back to video #1 and watch them all in order. You are lacking the very basics of this education. I promise you will be so very glad you started at the beginning if you take this advice. Otherwise, you are sabotaging your entire menopause education.
That's the nature of education, my dear. If you’d like a more efficient delivery of this menopause education, you should do one of the following: • Read my book • Watch the webinars in order • Watch the DVD entitled Your Menopause Your Way They all give you the complete education without the fluff of the videos. You can get any of these from my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME. And if you want the fastest track, schedule a consultation with me, and you'll get the education along with tailoring of it specifically to YOU. You can schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME. These videos cover only one piece of information in each video. That’s intentional. If you only use these videos to get your education, it will be very complete, but it will take a looooooong time. 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 served yours well. But I think one of the other options listed above will.
The 18 minute mark is really jumping out at me considering how cowardly certain medical providers are these days. Thankfully the ones that I have found are not
Nothing but the real thing is the real thing. But we were all really supposed to die before ever becoming post-menopausal. Mother Nature's plan is: Birth Reproduction Death Trade-offs!
If your mother had thyroid cancer, would it mean you can't take thyroid hormone? If your mother had pancreatic cancer, would it mean you can't take insulin if you're diabetic? I teach you logic. All the choices are yours.
You need a consultation with me. You do not understand the most basic of things about menopause. There is no way I can give you a consultation in a comment box, and I need to tailor a whole lot more information specifically to YOU. Please schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
What is the difference between HRT and taking estradiol vaginally in the form of Imvexy to treat dryness? I just turned 41, not in peri menopause yet (not sure how to know when that happens) and my doctor prescribed imvexy. How do you know you are in peri menopause? My OBGYN doesn’t seem to offer any answers to my questions and I’m lost.
Oh my! This tells me that you definitely did not start with video #1 and watch them all in order. And you are missing some of the most basic information. PLEASE schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. It will pay off for the rest of your life. I do them all online.
Ahh crap. I fell for it and took the Dutch test recently. I sent it off a few days ago and will meet with my doctor on May 12 to discuss the results. I think I know enough by my blood tests.

I can't thank you enough for providing me with the education and confidence to advocate effectively in order to achieve this successful resolution. Forever grateful! ;-D
I have had a similar experience. It is the confidence that Dr Barbie provides that has enabled me to take the RIGHT dose of HRT for ME! Otherwise, as she states in this video, what is the flipping point of taking a replacement of anything! I get fired up too 😆❤️🌻
You are so welcome, my dear. Your body doesn't lie. And it tells you what you need.
@@mariatedesco7361 Exactly! If I drop my dose of estrogen below 1.5 mg my hot flushes and night sweats return. What would be the point? Trust your body to tell you what it needs.
I am currently on 2.5mg of oral estradiol. I need that high of a dose for my mental health, insomnia, and night sweats. I am 58 and had a hysterectomy about 16 years ago. I took 1 mg oral for several years, but seem to need more the older I get. 🤷♀️ Since I have a lot of heart disease in my family, I am glad to have learned that estrogen is good for my heart as well.
@@trina2150 Knowledge gives you confidence to know that you are doing what's right FOR YOU.
Hello dear Barbie! Another fantastic lesson in Menopause University!!! I shall never tire of my classes with you.
See you next week. xx
Nor I of you, my dear.
You are a blessing to me and to many!!! Love you Dr Taylor 🙌🏻🥰
This is very touching. I so appreciate your words. And know that I love you, too!
I've just discovered your channel recently and thank God for that! I've just started perimenopause and your content is the most comprehensive so far! Thank you for your content and it's come into my life at the perfect time. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Welcome to "Menopause University," my dear.
If you start with video #1 and watch them all in order, you will understand everything and get the menopause education you deserve.
If you watch my videos randomly, you will completely sabotage your entire menopause education.
And if you ever want a shortcut and to have everything tailored specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
@@MenopauseTaylor I'm already on video # 8 ! I'm definitely watching them in order and I might very well book a consultation with you. Thank you! 🙏🏼
@@heartofjosette A consultation is the only way to get everything tailored specifically to you. I hope you book one.
@@MenopauseTaylor This comment comes 3 months after these last few exchanges we had above.I have since starting taking progesterone and there's been an increase in my tinnitus. I don't know if it's a coincidence or due to the progesterone. Do any of your videos discuss a link between tinnitus / perimenopause and HRT? I'm on video # 26 so far. I am watching your videos in order but in this particular case, my tinnitus is affecting my sleep and I need immediate help. Thank you in advance. 🙏🏼
@@heartofjosette Assessing your tinnitis requires a consultation. It is not a typical symptom of menopause or
This needs to be a PSA!! Thank you!! ♥️♥️♥️
You are so very welcome, my dear.
Smart people solve problems, geniuses prevent them. Thank you Dr Barbie 🙏💛
I love this quote! Thank YOU.
Thank you 😊😊😊. I’m super happy to see your subscriber count keep going up!
You make me smile. Yes, although picked the most unpopular topic on Earth and turned my TH-cam channel into a classroom and will never have the millions of subscribers that beauty channels have, I love every minute of this. Thank you for appreciating my efforts.
If anyone here wants to confirm with another source that everything this woman is saying is true then go read Estrogen Matters. I am convinced, thank you👏
Yes!!!! I read the book and was blown away!!! Dr Taylor is a Godsend for all of us women who were left in the dark about Menopause!!!
Thank you so much for this. I think you deserve the whole truth and the whole story. I include reference to "Estrogen Matters" in various videos.
@@ChloeGraciela I love knowing that this education is bettering your life.
Thank you for this! The consult I had with you was very helpful!! I got with my
Dr and was able to plead my case and she listened and we are going to try to do some things to up start upping my estrogen to the levels that I believe it will need to be at. I will keep pushing till I am where I need to be. Thank you so much for helping to arm me with the knowledge and courage to keep being my own advocate and get what I know I need.. it didn't take as much as i thought it would.. but of course we aren't there yet!
I love the positivity and confidence in your words. You will definitely see a difference. Just listen to your body.
The risks are worth being on HRT for me thanks to this education you have been teaching us. So grateful for your honesty about hormones, the diseases, etc. Wish the medical field would catch up with the proper information about HRT. They are truly killing some women because they focus on the risks more than the benefits. So grateful you teach both the risks and the benefits.
Thank you. ❤
I had to edit my comment and add that you look extra beautiful in this video.
You are so very kind, my dear. Thank you for being you and for being my A student.
Thank you so much for bringing fourth the truth for women , which has been hidden. This is such important knowledge that rightfully belongs to females. I’m hoping my doctor will give me hormone replacement. You are a one of a kind lady and a gem ❤️💐
Alison,
Please, please, have a consultation with me BEFORE seeing any physician. I will arm you with all the information you need, help you weigh your benefits and risks, and school you in how to navigate the medical system in order to get what you want. There are more pitfalls than you can possibly imagine. And, if you go to your doctor before having a consultation, you could burn your bridges without even knowing it. You do not need any labs before having a consultation with me. All you need to do for scheduling is go to MenopauseTaylor.ME.
thanks for this video, very interesting. first time I have listened to you. will check out some more.
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. I do them all online.
Im 49 and had my annual gyno appt & because of now daytime hot flashes (among other things) being so miserable I brought up menopause & she insisted I was not in it. To please me she ran HST & my number was 73. That was the message I got from the office. I had to send a message and schedule another appt to discuss this. Where I asked about these diseases and was told yes but there was the same diseases by taking hormones and because I smoke she will not give me estrogen (I have a mirena iud) but she would give me an antidepressant & vaginal inserts. AND if I quit smoking she will then Consider estrogen but her “hope is that I would find the antidepressant would take away the hot flashes and I would decide against estrogen” I pushed and questioned the weight gain and facial hair growth & hair loss and she told me there are many ways to deal with the weight gain. Surgery, diets, pills and even a diabetic medicine that has proven to show great results for weight loss and she would be willing to prescribe me this if I didn’t want to go the surgical route. I am not diabetic and not thrilled about the thought of weight loss surgery. I’m blown away by all the ways she is offering to avoid estrogen yet willing to prescribe everything else including going under the knife. Just flabbergasted. That’s why I am here.. to educate myself so that when I find the right Dr for me I know how to deal with all of this. Thank you for this video and all the others! We need to be educated. Just received your book in the mail too. Appreciate you arming women with our options and truth.
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. But you need the benefit of a personal consultation. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
Gosh, What a great Video!!! Chockfull of amazing information. Thanks again for my recent consultation -thanks to your coaching and teaching me to use the correct terminology, I was finally able to convince my Functional Medicine Doctor to prescribe me the 100% Bio -identical GEL(instead of the Bi-est I was on) and also to up the dosage enough so that I am finally using a little over the MINIMUM recommended dosage to fight the 3 big diseases. I look forward to my follow-up with you. You are such a gift. Love you! and your bubbly personality. Have a wonderful day. I will definitely be sharing this video.
Thank you so much, my dear. I just love the confidence in your words. And I will love seeing you again whenever you need me.
This!!! Thank you ever so much for educating us properly, Dr. Taylor! You are the best! 🙏😘
You are so very welcome, my dear.
Thank goodness for Dr Taylor!
You are so very kind. Thank YOU.
I cannot believe how much I’m learning from your videos! My daughter recently asked me about DIM. I know it’s promoted to help with metabolizing good estrogens & diminishing the “bad” estrogens. It’s also promoted to keep men from converting testosterone to estrogen. Is it beneficial or does it actually block needed estrogen in women?
It's 100% marketing. DIM is nothing more than what's in all cruciferous veggies! Di-Indolyl-Methane. You've fallen prey to a marketing scam. Just eat your veggies.
Thanks Dr Taylor 🙏 for what you do you have open my eyes 👀 😉 know I'm well informed...Can't to have a appointment with you.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
Thanks again for the education, I've learnt so much. Lovely outfit 😊
You are so very welcome. And thank YOU.
Hi, Could this be true that Estrodial thru patches and cream work then stop working in some women? It seems like they work for awhile then quit working ? Is this case would the femring absorb Estrodial into my body better? Is the pill safe ?
Anything is possible. We all absorb and metabolize estrogen differently. This is precisely the kind of thing I can help you with in a consultation, but not a comment box. If you ant one, please schedule it at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
Excellent video, thank you 🙏
It's my pleasure.
Hi Menopause Barbie ,Thank you do much for all you do. I have heard that Estrodial oral pill causes weight gain but not the topical/transdermal methods can you please tell me if this is true?!?!
You have heard misinformation, my dear. MENOPAUSE itself causes weight gain. Weight gain is a direct symptom of estrogen deficiency. (I presented this in the very early videos. You have to watch them in order if you don't want to sabotage your education. alternatively, you can schedule a consultation with me.)
Sounds easy but soooooo many Doctors (GYNs) have different opinions on HRT and CBHRT….just the truth
Definitely a paradox! Thank you so much 🍃🌺!!
I'm so glad you found this useful, my dear.
Don’t forget the ugliest paradox , of doctors putting their patients on estrogen blockers , for ‘estrogen fed cancer ‘
I think that’s all our doctors know to do is treat the symptoms , such a waste of med school .
Right.
50% of women who start on Estrogen blocker stop taking it within the first year because they can't tolerate living with very low or no estrogen. And, and I haven't met a woman yet who could tolerate Tamoxifen or Arimidex estrogen blockers yet.
Correct! But most doctors don't even know all the symptoms of menopause.
@@MenopauseTaylor Oh how true!
I was prescribed an estrogen blocker for my low grade breast cancer and took it for 17 days. That was enough. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get estrogen because no one will give me any. But I can easily get narcotics prescribed.
Please someone tell me how I can find someone to put me on HRT and chose for myself which diseases I’d rather risk. I’ll sign waiver. I just don’t want to live like I am now.
Is HRT the same as low level birth control pills are they different way of replacing hormones ?
Birth control pills are higher dosages of the same hormones that are in HRT. Which is best for YOU depends on YOUR situation. I can help you assess this in a consultation if you schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
Perhaps I’ve missed it but I wish there was a video specifically addressing post menopausal women in their 60’s and beyond who have missed the window of opportunity for starting HRT. What should we do?
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 video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
I’m hearing so much talk lately about “estrogen dominance”…? What’s that all about? How can you be going through menopause and be estrogen dominant? I thought we were estrogen deficient?
Also, I was trying the HRT and felt horrible. I know the dosage was incorrect and the doctor and I never could get the right dosage for me. Another friend of mine is going through the same thing with the dosages and feeling horrible! If our hormones change and lab tests can lead us in a wrong direction, how can we address these things in a timely manner with accurate diagnosis and relief?
Ahh, your question tells me that you have definitely NOT watched my videos in order. I presented the education on that ages ago. Please do not thwart all my efforts to give you the menopause education you deserve. Start with video # 1.
I’d be curious what kind of feedback you’re getting, (if any) from healthcare providers as a result of this video.
I think it’s clever you mentioned you’re also a lawyer. You’ll probably get asked for consultations in that capacity from doctors. 😄
My goal is to make things easier for healthcare providers. Everybody wins with education.
I love you so much thank you for all this value information 💕
Well, I love you too! And that's why I'll do whatever it takes to give you the menopause education you deserve. I'm so glad you're here, my dear.
Thank you Dr Taylor! Do you do consultations for Australian women?
How much estrogen is needed to prevent the deadly diseases Dr. Taylor? There are multiple options of 1mg, 2mg and 3mg.
Hi. I am just perusing comments left and saw yours -- the 'great' doctor has a new video number 288 that can assist you with the answer. Also there is other videos from priors years too that she has gone through such.
Thank you.
Not sure how to watch them in order.
If you watch these videos in order, starting from the very first one, you will understand absolutely everything! That little number after each title tells you the order. Or, you can go to my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME and click on the TH-cam Video Tutorials tab. There, you'll see them all lined up in order & you can just click on the thumbnails & watch the videos.
How long does post menopause symptoms last?
This is variable from one woman to another, Some women have symptoms only during peri-menopause. Others have them forever.
What is true for all women is that your heart, bones and brain age rapidly in the absence of estrogen. And that puts you on the road to the diseases of estrogen deficiency (heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's)
Dr. Taaylor, thank you for this great, informative video! Does Tibalone prevent bone loss?
Tibolone prevents bone loss ... only. It does not prevent heart attack or Alzheimer's like estrogen does.
Thanks
@@deborahlove3006 You are so welcome.
But we still do not know what the optimal levels our E2 should be at to prevent bone, heart & brain issues... We still do not know what the best E2 delivery method is to achieve those levels. Still lots of guessing, not enough science...
There ARE no "LEVELS" for this. You really, really, really need to go back to video #1 and watch them all in order. You are lacking the very basics of this education. I promise you will be so very glad you started at the beginning if you take this advice. Otherwise, you are sabotaging your entire menopause education.
I’m listening the videos in order but sooo many say the same thing over and over and over again…
That's the nature of education, my dear.
If you’d like a more efficient delivery of this menopause education, you should do one of the following:
• Read my book
• Watch the webinars in order
• Watch the DVD entitled Your Menopause Your Way
They all give you the complete education without the fluff of the videos. You can get any of these from my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME.
And if you want the fastest track, schedule a consultation with me, and you'll get the education along with tailoring of it specifically to YOU. You can schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
These videos cover only one piece of information in each video. That’s intentional. If you only use these videos to get your education, it will be very complete, but it will take a looooooong time. 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 served yours well. But I think one of the other options listed above will.
The 18 minute mark is really jumping out at me considering how cowardly certain medical providers are these days. Thankfully the ones that I have found are not
I am so very happy for you. I wish the same for all women.
@@MenopauseTaylor it took paying out of pocket for me, but it was worth every penny to be heard
@@MsKati30 Exactly! And it will pay dividends for the rest of your life.
Excellent as always. Now this is a conspiracy. And yep, women are paying for it. 🤨 thank you very much. Appreciate it.
You are so very welcome, my dear. I'm trying to change this situation.
Is there any instances where you would suggest taking more than 2 MG estradiol? Does age matter, like if you had an early hysterectomy?
Of course there are. Women are not robots. Everyone is different. You should take what YOU need.
Unfortunately HRT and even BioHRT is still not identical hormone.
Nothing but the real thing is the real thing. But we were all really supposed to die before ever becoming post-menopausal.
Mother Nature's plan is:
Birth
Reproduction
Death
Trade-offs!
My mother had breast cancer, does that mean I can't take estrogen?
If your mother had thyroid cancer, would it mean you can't take thyroid hormone?
If your mother had pancreatic cancer, would it mean you can't take insulin if you're diabetic?
I teach you logic. All the choices are yours.
Muchas gracias ! Your information has been of great help at this days
@@masala7615 You are so very welcome, my dear.
When estradiol is 29 and fsh is 8 is this menupause ? I had hysterectomy and overis are kept I have suffering bones and joint pain after this
You need a consultation with me. You do not understand the most basic of things about menopause. There is no way I can give you a consultation in a comment box, and I need to tailor a whole lot more information specifically to YOU. Please schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
🙏🙏🙏
What is the difference between HRT and taking estradiol vaginally in the form of Imvexy to treat dryness? I just turned 41, not in peri menopause yet (not sure how to know when that happens) and my doctor prescribed imvexy. How do you know you are in peri menopause? My OBGYN doesn’t seem to offer any answers to my questions and I’m lost.
Oh my! This tells me that you definitely did not start with video #1 and watch them all in order. And you are missing some of the most basic information.
PLEASE schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. It will pay off for the rest of your life. I do them all online.

What are your thoughts on the Dutch test?
Video # 290 addresses this.
Not worth it, moneygrab!
Ahh crap. I fell for it and took the Dutch test recently. I sent it off a few days ago and will meet with my doctor on May 12 to discuss the results. I think I know enough by my blood tests.
@@MsKati30 I took it too...
