This series is very personal for me as my dad had a massive stroke at age 53. He’s 84 now, in memory care and doesn’t have very good quality of life. The last 30 years have been so long and hard for him (and for me watching him struggle). I am determined to never suffer the same fate. Thank you!
I find it really scary that women aren’t getting the important information needed for great golden years. I talked to my niece and made sure she knew about you and the great information you share, and I just saw her a few days ago and she is watching and learning. One of her responses was “why isn’t anybody telling us this important information”? So she was thrilled I had shared you with her. Thanks 😊
You are the best aunt, ever! You have given your niece the best gift she will ever get. My dream is for all women to get this education in their 20s and 30s. Can you imagine a world in which all women knew all these important things? Thank you for valuing this education and for passing it on to others.
Great information as always. I realize now that my grandmother who died in her 70’s wouldn’t have died that early had she had hormones. She lived a healthy active life with no other symptoms. What an amazing service you give to us with your lessons, thank you!😘
Love, love, love this woman! I value each and every video and have learned so much. I recommend Dr. (Barbie) Taylor to all my women friends. I will be consulting later this year as I'm sensing some push back from my PCP each time she refills my hrt. Knowledge is power and you are my secret weapon to her 'lack of indepth knowledge' on the subject. Thanks again for your awesome work!!
Thank you. One addition about the stroke and sides of the body correlation. Cerebellum is the back part of the brain and it is thought that it controls or affects the same side of the body. Meaning stroke in right cerebellum, would affect right side of the body, and left cerebellum stroke would show in left side of the body. However, from my personal experience I know that it is not entirely true. Brain is very complected individually developed bio computer, which can act very different and produce unexpected symptoms when damaged. Also cerebellar stroke would affect the desired output (whatever person wants to do - moving, saying something) from actual (movement, coordination, verbal expression of thoughts) and impulse control.
Thank you again, Dr. Taylor. As usual you are fabulous. I have your book and did consult with you. Your videos are ongoing tool to ongoing learning. I really appreciate all you do us ladies. Xoxo
Love your channel! I feel education is the key to living our best life! The more we learn the better decisions we can make when we have to make a change. What is your feelings on taking meds for elevated triglycerides due partly to taking oral estrogen?? Do taking both go against the purpose of each? I have looked and listened to your videos on heart health , statins , stokes but did not get a answer! You are such a positive and amazing teacher! Happy to read you are doing videos on Alzheimer’s and Osteoporosis!! Yay!! I am the same age as you and am still learning about my menopause... am also a retired nurse. ... always loved the areas on women’s health!! Take care❤️
I will be doing units on everything. I've already completed creation of the unit on osteoporosis, It's 35 videos long! I'm working on Alzheimer's now. I create these videos one year before you ever see them!
@@MenopauseTaylor First of all, thank you for all the information. Angie from hot and flashy shared your interview and I was astounded at the lack of info doctors provide in Australia (where I'm from). My beautiful mother dies of dementia a few months ago and I'm very sure she was not taking estrogen or any type of HRT due to the breast cancer study. They are still publishing similar articles today. theconversation.com/we-dont-know-menopausal-hormone-therapy-causes-breast-cancer-but-the-evidence-continues-to-suggest-a-link-122721 Why do think doctors are still doing this? Anyway, thanks again for the valuable information. Xxx
@@eleren999 Renee, Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." I'm so glad you're here. You can count on me to teach you everything. 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. P.S. I lived in Noosa!
Wow! I did not know any of those other names for a stroke. 😬 I do not k ow much about strokes just like I did not know much about heart attacks until now. This education is amazing and kind of scary too. 😬 I am now blessed to be exposed to these areas so now I am informed. Thank you for this valuable information.
It is always better to be educated, whether you like the facts or not. That's the only way you can successfully avoid the pitfalls. I love having you as my student.
Ya look fabulous! It makes sense that the risks of stroke are the same as for a heart attack so the prevention would be the same. I love all those terms for the word stroke. If I ever hear them, I will ask that they keep it simple and clear. Stoke lesson is behind me and blood clots are ahead for next week. 😘
Hello Dr. Taylor. I have watched several videos of yours. I must say, you have scared me more than made me feel more comfortable in my menopausal state. I thought you might be willing to answer a question, that I haven't seen a video about. A bit of back story, I was "castrated" in 2007 (age 34). I started the Vivelle Dot 6 months after surgery and stayed on it until 2010. At that time, like others, I read all the studies and became scared of the breast cancer connection to HRT. I tried different bioidenticals for about another year, but around 2011 gave up and went off HRT all together. As you said, my estrogen levels were fine, my body was sufficiently compensating. I had no menopause symptoms. Between 2013 and 2019 I used vaginal estrogen in different bases (trying to find a good fit that wouldn't give me and infection) successfully using petrolatum as a base. However recently, in 2019 (now age 45) I've started noticing brain fog, weight gain, dry skin and hair, leaking urine, vaginal dryness, achy joints, hot flashes when I consume high carb foods, etc. So, the question: Do you think it's ok after so many years to go BACK on an HRT IF I have my heart, as well as everything else checked by my primary doc, and everything checks out ok?
I'm sorry you have reacted to this education with fear. My goal is to incite the very opposite: confidence. And that requires learning all the facts as they apply to you. I will tell you that you should not be fearful. Your situation is not one that warrants any fear at all. But, I believe that peace of mind is everything, and you would gain a lot of peace of mind by having a consultation with me. Please consider it. I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works: 1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone. 2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date. 3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages. 4) I will send you the document by email 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 (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options. The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request. So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively). I hope to meet you soon!
I had my stroke, subarchnoid hemorrhage, Dec 2019 then I immediately went into menapause. 😳 my obgyn and pharmacist, of course, say I cannot get HRT. I'm working on creative strategies to help my symptoms. DHEA, Estrovera, diet. So far I haven't seen consistent results in decreasing my symptoms. Anyone else have any luck?
I can help you find YOUR best options in a consultation. Comparing yourself to other women, or asking others what to do will get you nowhere. No two women are alike. This requires tailoring everything specifically to YOU. That's precisely what I do in consultations. You can schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME. do them all online.
My dad just died from an “accident” and hemorrhage. Hadn’t spoke to him since I was in my mid 20’s. I’m now 48. He made it to 83. I got the death certificate so I looked up the terms. It was a basal ganglia I forget which side. But since it was recent, I was able to get the question right!
I am 69 years old, and had my Stroke when I was 66 years old. With all the problems that I got from my Stroke which attacked my Right side which affected my Left side of body; But at the same time the Stroke also caused me to have Hot Flashes all the time. I still have hot body at 69 through the entire 12 Months. It is Fall now and outside has gotten colder, but I Still running the AC because my Body Heat is still Hot. Can't escape it but wear shorts and sleeveless clothes .
I'm so sorry you're dealing with all this, my dear. If you even want me to tailor everything to YOU and assess your options, I can do so in a consultation, which you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Thank you, Dr. Taylor. I try to direct women to your website! One question, been on HRT (Estradiol 1mg and micronized Progesterone daily-i think it's 100mg?) for about 2 1/2 yrs-i'm 57. i haven't completely stopped periods yet, they are very very sporadic and light. Maybe 2x a year or more...i had a VERY traumatic event happen about 3 months ago and about 2 months in had a regular period. Also losing my hair but i chalk it all up to the trauma. Am wondering if this is normal even on HRT?
Every situation is different. You should have this evaluated to determine if there's a problem or if you only need to tweak your HRT. If you want to consult with me first, you may.
How do I know when it is too late to take estrogen supplement? How can I tell when the window - the 5-10 yrs after the menopause - is closed? Which tests should I ask my GP to do? I am 59 and have been in menopause/post menopause since I was 51.
Every situation is different, Tina. What you really need to do is have a consultation with me to assess your personal benefits and risks. Women are not carbon copies of each other. Have the consultation as soon as you can and it may not be too late. 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.

Dr. Taylor thank you once again for all the great information, I have been looking for information about high HCG levels. And, what does it mean for a menopausal woman, if the HCG is high. Do you have a video about this subject?
There is not video on that because it is not a typical thing. But it is something to address on a personal level, If you want me to do that with you, you should schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Hi, I appreciate your videos so much, so informative, I learn something new everytime I watch one. Thank you! I’m 48 and suffering peri menopause symptoms for about 2 years. Is it too early for me to start hrt therapy...also I smoke, does that exclude me from hrt therapy because of stroke risk?
You can start HRT at any time. The best thing you could do is schedule 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.
It is not too late. You should seriously consider having a consultation with me to determine just what's right for you BEFORE you go to your doctor. I will save you a bunch of pitfalls that could ruin your ability to get what you want. If you want a consultation, go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule.
This is scary! But I appreciate the education. It is very helpful. I cant take too many supplements because almost all supplements have nickel in them and there are NO warnings about it. I wish I didnt have a uterus so I could only take estrogen! I emailed your staff at your web site for a consultation. I didn't hear back yet. Just to let you know in case the site isn't working.
@@MenopauseTaylor I signed up for an account and it would not let me in. I have accounts everywhere and have not had this problem. Hopefully your staff will get back to me.
Dr. Taylor I was wondering if you recommend vit K-2 for better calcium absorption. I know this is off subject but I believe it does tie in with heart issues? I do not recall you mentioning ,it in supplement videos. Thank you
This is something that definitely requires a consultation. There is no way I can assess you situation in a comment box. But in a consultation, I will get your whole story, tailor all the facts specifically to you, and help you choose your best options. Please schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
You are so smart! This is my dream ... for women to learn what they need to know in their 30s to prepare for their 50s. You should have a consultation with me so that we can address this and tailor everything specifically to YOU. Just go to MenopauseTaylorME.

If you even want me to tailor everything to YOU and assess your options, I can do so in a consultation, which you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
You flash that pic.so fast I went back several times and tried to pause it but couldn't.
Do you like Stevia or any natural sugar replacement? What so you like?
I don't like any kind of sugar.
Thank you, Dr. Taylor. I try to direct women to your website! One question, been on HRT (Estradiol 1mg and micronized Progesterone daily-i think it's 100mg?) for about 2 1/2 yrs-i'm 57. i haven't completely stopped periods yet, they are very very sporadic and light. Maybe 2x a year or more...i had a VERY traumatic event happen about 3 months ago and about 2 months in had a regular period. Also losing my hair but i chalk it all up to the trauma. Am wondering if this is normal even on HRT?
Every situation is different. You should have this evaluated to determine if there's a problem or if you only need to tweak your HRT.
If you want to consult with me first, you may.
How do I know when it is too late to take estrogen supplement? How can I tell when the window - the 5-10 yrs after the menopause - is closed? Which tests should I ask my GP to do? I am 59 and have been in menopause/post menopause since I was 51.
To late for me to start hrt? Menopause at 46 and now I'm 56.
Every situation is different, Tina. What you really need to do is have a consultation with me to assess your personal benefits and risks. Women are not carbon copies of each other. Have the consultation as soon as you can and it may not be too late.
Here's how a consultation works:
1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone.
2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date.
3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages.
4) I will send you the document by email 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 (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options.
The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request.
So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively).
I hope to meet you soon!
Dr. Taylor thank you once again for all the great information, I have been looking for information about high HCG levels. And, what does it mean for a menopausal woman, if the HCG is high. Do you have a video about this subject?
There is not video on that because it is not a typical thing. But it is something to address on a personal level, If you want me to do that with you, you should schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Hi, I appreciate your videos so much, so informative, I learn something new everytime I watch one. Thank you! I’m 48 and suffering peri menopause symptoms for about 2 years. Is it too early for me to start hrt therapy...also I smoke, does that exclude me from hrt therapy because of stroke risk?
You can start HRT at any time.
The best thing you could do is schedule 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.
My menopause was at 55, four years ago. Am I in the early years after menopause, or is it too late for Hrt?
It is not too late. You should seriously consider having a consultation with me to determine just what's right for you BEFORE you go to your doctor. I will save you a bunch of pitfalls that could ruin your ability to get what you want.
If you want a consultation, go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule.
This is scary! But I appreciate the education. It is very helpful. I cant take too many supplements because almost all supplements have nickel in them and there are NO warnings about it. I wish I didnt have a uterus so I could only take estrogen! I emailed your staff at your web site for a consultation. I didn't hear back yet. Just to let you know in case the site isn't working.
The site is working, and you should just go there and schedule it yourself. It's easier. I look forward to meeting with you again.
@@MenopauseTaylor I did
@@MenopauseTaylor I signed up for an account and it would not let me in. I have accounts everywhere and have not had this problem. Hopefully your staff will get back to me.
@@theoneandonlypinkypinky8245 They will. I'll prompt them.
@@MenopauseTaylor thanks
Dr. Taylor I was wondering if you recommend vit K-2 for better calcium absorption. I know this is off subject but I believe it does tie in with heart issues? I do not recall you mentioning ,it in supplement videos. Thank you
It can't hurt, but it is not really that beneficial for calcium absorption.
@@MenopauseTaylor Just wondering what all the hype is about K-2?
@@jennieoh8543 Hype is hype. It's rarely accurate.
I am 46 and had a brainstroke 1.5 years ago. Can I use hrt?
This is something that definitely requires a consultation. There is no way I can assess you situation in a comment box. But in a consultation, I will get your whole story, tailor all the facts specifically to you, and help you choose your best options. Please schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Ah ok got my question answered here.
what can women in their 30s do to postpone menopause?
You are so smart! This is my dream ... for women to learn what they need to know in their 30s to prepare for their 50s.
You should have a consultation with me so that we can address this and tailor everything specifically to YOU.
Just go to MenopauseTaylorME.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you for your answer, I was thinking to do so! I'll get in contact with you soon
