I do watch everything in order and am learning a lot from you. I wanted to tell everyone about what I have been doing. I have osteoarthritis and a nodule has grown out of every joint in my hands. I have for the last several years worn estrogen cream and compression gloves to bed at night and slept through fine. For the last 3 months or so I have been waking up screaming & crying & holding my hands in the air after 3 or 4 hours and even 4 200 mg ibuprofen + Meloxicam would not take the edge off enough so I could go back to sleep. My research told me that Carpal Tunnel causes night pain like that but not arthritis. I am an accountant and have dealt with Carpal Tunnel in my right hand only for 20 years or more but it was never in my left hand before. I tried wearing Carpal Tunnel braces instead of Compression gloves at night and it made the pain worse. So I started doing some more reading and I do have a nodule on the bottom joint of both hands and it is growing on the inside toward the palm on both hands and it is apparently common and does cause Carpal Tunnel. But to sleep through the night now I need a thumb brace on each hand, and that was a learning curve as well. The Carpal tunnel braces with thumbs do not work as well as just a thumb brace. I am not sure why because a Carpal Tunnel brace with the spoon has always helped tons before. But I also found out that people with hand arthritis should not use dumbbells which was a huge disappointment to me. I am getting loop & tube strength training dvds because I am really serious about how painful my hands were getting. I am going to miss the Firm videos terribly. Does anyone have any experience with any loop &/or tube strength training videos? Can anyone recommend any Loop &/or tube strength training videos?
So something I just learned about a week ago is the supplement called MSM for osteoarthritic pain, etc. Look at the supplement and read the comments and various videos of people who use this supplement and how they are doing after high doses. You might find it very interesting, good luck
Of course there's a connection between Alzheimer's and diabetes after everything I have learned here this is no surprise. I really appreciate having it pointed out and explained. Dr. Barbie you're a really cool super nerd with a great sense of humor and wisdom. I don't mind at all if you want to talk about brains while playing with toys forever. This education is extremely helpful. Thank you
@@MenopauseTaylor I appreciate this education and your creative ways to keep it interesting. Thanks for mentioning the mass brain washing regarding women's health as people need to wake up. Those in control will lie about anything to benefit them at our expense and we all deserve real information on individual health. Thank you for helping to make this possible.

Always in class on time for Menopause University class! I have been Type 2 since sometimes in early 2019, but diagnosed in October of 2019. I changed my diet to low carb diet because carbs=sugar! Since my hysterectomy I'm craving carbs, but I do my best to limit my intake. I also exercise too. More reason life sucks to be diabetic. Time to start eating less carbs and spending the bucks on low carb snacks and food.
Jeanette I’ve found low carb and intermittent fasting has allowed me to lose my menopausal belly fat and lower my triglycerides and ldl cholesterol by eating healthy fats and protein
You are so very welcome, my dear. And you are so right about there always being more to the story than anybody's ever told you before. I will always tell you the whole truth and the whole story.
Great video Dr. Taylor. Will you be getting into kinds of products that are better and worse for us. Looking for better breads and starchy vegetables. Thanks again.
Hi Barbie my mom is 71 and she forgets a lot we had her tested and doctor says it’s old age… I’m 54 what can I do for me so I can keep my memory in tack when I get to her age…and her
Maria, This is precisely the kind of thing that warrants a consultation so that I can tailor everything specifically to YOU. Old age does not cause forgetfulness unless there is something causing it (like Alzheimer's or dementia or a head injury, etc.) I can help you tremendously in avoiding these things in a consultation.
Great information as usual doctor. Unfortunately I’ve been so busy for so long I’ve completely missed all your videos on Alzheimer’s. What number is the first video on that topic so I can start from beginning. Thanks!
Hi I have given up all grains and am now grain free. I get my carbs from fruits and veg. My doctor said this was bad and that I should have whole grains. Could you please give your opinion on whether or not I need to eat whole grains to get my carbs? Or can I just carry on getting them from fruit and veg alone? I ingest around 115g carbs every day. I am 5 foot 2 and weigh 8 stone. Thanks.
When you go back to basics, you realize that humans were never supposed to ingest grains. The only animals that do ingest grains are ruminants. And the reason ruminants consume grains is that their digestive tracts are designed to digest them. Ruminants have: • Teeth that grow continuously throughout their lives • A four-compartment stomach • A spiral colon • Gut microbiota that can digest the grains. Humans have none of these things. Before the agricultural revolution, humans did not ingest any grains. But when the agricultural revolution occurred. We transformed grins into a food for humans and labeled them “healthy.” Well, that’s just kind of goofy. The truth is that humans still do not digest grains well. Since the agricultural revolution, grains have changed a lot. They used to be whole grains. Now, it is more and more difficult to find whole grains. The huge increase in gluten intolerance is due to the manipulation and over-processing of grains. The grains of today are nothing like the grains of our ancestors. But there’s yet another problem: Gluten-free does not mean grain-free. Most gluten-free foods contain one or more of the following: • Corn starch • Rice flour • Tapioca starch • Potato starch So, while the gluten is gone, the grains are still present. As with anything, the only opinion that matters is your body’s. So, do some food experiments. Omit all grains from your diet for 1 month. (No wheat, oats, rice, barley, rye, corn, flour, millet, couscous, quinoa, spelt, everything.) You will find that it’s very difficult to do because the food industry has put gluten-containing grains in everything. But this will enable your own body to tell you if avoiding all grains is better for you. All of the following are grains: • Wheat • Flour • Rice • Corn • Barley • Millet • Oats • Pumpernickel • Rye • Couscous • Spelt Quinoa is a seed. So it does not contain any grains or gluten. Two great books on this are the following: Wheat Belly, by William Davis, M.D. Grain Brain, by David Perlmutter, M.D. (Neurologist & Nutritionist)
Fantastic video thank you- I do have a question regarding HRT.. am taking 2-3 pumps of oestrogel daily Before that I had the patch ( 50-75mg ) for a year.. as prescribed ( clearly in a trial and error style) by few GP’s… My question is- since a normal n regular hormonal fluctuation happens throughout women’s reproductive years- how is it that there’s no pause in taking HRT I had hysterectomy ( only womb- my tubes were left - 11 years ago).. started taking oestrogen since end of 2018 , but have been consistent past year and a half- Have put an awful amount of weight and hair loss.. On a recent visit to Israel- I ran out of my gel- went to my Dad’s GP who prescribed only 39mcgr of HRT patches that I used for a month- Only coming back to the UK to be told I’m on 3 pumps or 75mcgr patches .. Am completely confused What to do??
This is precisely the kind of thing that requires a consultation so that I can tailor everything specifically to YOU. There is no way I can do so in a comment box. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME, and I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
Great video again. As my father had Alzheimer's I was very interested. Though I did not agree with the Barbie demonstration. The original was just as unhealthy as the second one just in the opposite direction. It set an unrealistic goal for young girls. Other than that you were so spot on. As usual :)
The great thing about this education is that its YOUR menopause YOUR way. So you get to do whatever you want. I deliver the facts, and you get to decide which options to employ in order to meet your goals. So all the decisions are YOURS. I never TELL you to do anything.
There is a myth out there, I think, we exercise too much that our cortisol level will go up and that will promote more fat deposition. Could you, Dr. Taylor or anyone out there who knows a thing or two about hard exercise in the perimenopause era and cortisol story? I work out about 5 to 6 days a week and my exercises are good and hard.. with high intensity, intervals, weight training, and walking on a treadmill at the highest incline at about 3.0 mph for about 40 minutes. I do be in various days of the week. Of course, I can clean up my diet a lot more than what I think.
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via online video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
Over time we all become insulin resistant because of what we eat and that we eat too frequently. Even our fruits and starchy foods have been altered to taste better and sweeter. They have many more carbs than originally designed. I don’t have diabetes either. I’m insulin resistant. I recommend everyone keep tabs on their own status and make sure it doesn’t progress. I began to figure it out initially from my blood work two years ago before my doctor did. She just told me to lose weight, stop Tylenol, and drink less. The latter two I didn’t even do. I bought a glucometer, and began testing my blood sugars periodically, especially an hour or two after eating. Over time the body puts out too much insulin to compensate for our dietary lifestyles that the cells no longer respond to it nor the glucose. The pancreas and liver get worn out. When ones body doesn’t produce enough insulin to keep up with the glucose load anymore it becomes diabetes. So insulin and glucose run rampid causing damage/chronic inflammation in the body. IE heart disease, stroke, Dementia, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, bursitis, fibroid issues, and the list is endless. Catching it and changing one’s diet and lifestyle early is life and health saving. #LimitCarbs #EatClean #NoSnacks
@@Darnabymom I know you mean well but "Everyone becomes insulin resistant over time" is a blanket statement that I simply do not believe. I am 5'5" 125 lbs with clothes on. I rarely have a drink, and if I do it is 1. Just extra weight as we age puts people at risk for type 2 diabetes. None of the foods I mentioned are snack foods.
