    "Keep your stress as low as possible" LOL! At 50 we are dealing with aging parents, pre-early adulting kids and/or grandkids that the pre-early adulting kids can't care for, we didn't have jobs that gave us retirement, so we have to work longer.

How is God loving and all-knowing and yet He decides it’s just to punish every woman forever because the first one messed up? And why do some women suffer women problems and labor pains more than others through no fault of their own? The Bible may be God inspired but it is not perfect. It was written in an era when they considered all form of suffering and disease a punishment. Got leprosy? You or your parents must’ve been terrible sinners.

    It's been pure hell! Through it I now have hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue.
    My life completely changed. My body completely changed. I am 55 now and hot flashes are beginning to fade. Weight has only increased. Even after doing strict keto for 1 year and only losing 34 lbs. I miss my thin self. My energetic self. My positive self.
    I still practice low carb keto but I don't lose weight. My body hurts the longer I stand, with abdomen swelling that is so unbearable. My beloved activities have taken a nosedive. Thanks for the info Dr. Berg, it's always appreciated. 🌿🕊️💕

      You should do weight resistant exercise or weight lifting. Cut back on cardio and try intermittent fasting. See if that helps with your weight loss. January I was 151lb. Now I am 133lb. I am 54. Most people or myself did not see me as overweight but the BMI had me overweight by a pound so I figured I could lose a pound and ended up losing 20lb so far.

      Look up the link between hot flashes and diabetes, it turns out that hot flashes are potentially hypoglycaemic attacks in many women, basically your blood sugar is crashing (especially at night) so ditching the sugar, regulating your insulin levels, stops the hot flashes. It worked for me too!

      You're really never too young for this. Premenopause and Perimenopause can start in your early 30's. The key is maintaining the healthiest balance possible; unfortunately, so many women are on synthetic hormones for a good share of their reproductive lives, in addition to environmental estrogens, etc. Men, including young men, are affected as well.

I am being followed by a naturopath who tested my adrenals and my results were normal so she didn't think they were the problem. But as soon as I started taking a supplement to support the adrenals, the hot flashes completely went away (as long as I'm taking them). I can't thank you enough Dr. Berg.

    Hello Dr Berg, thanks for sharing. In my early 40's. Am not overweight, am skinny, I eat a lot, but healthy food and do exercises. I haven't slept since over 2 weeks ( also been having heavy stress at work ). I wake up to a pool of sweat 5 to 6 times in the night, I can't sleep or fall asleep, just keep turning left and right until it's morning time.
    During the day, my body just suddenly heats up and then cools down throughout the day. It's winter time here in Germany. I started taking shower before bed, but it didn't help.
    I visited the doctor ( did blood test, results isn't out yet ) and she gave me a prescription for Mirtazapin to help me sleep at night. While it helps me sleep, I still wake up to a pool of sweat 2 to 3 times in the night ( instead of 6 times like before ), But am able to fall asleep because of the medication. However, I still end up not sleeping through out the night. I wake up tired and my eyes hurt.
    My heart goes out to other women experiencing the same circle. It's depressing.

    I spent most of my life as a vegan, and slowly edged into menopause in my 60's. I had no mood swings, hot flashes, dryness and recently did a master's degree (good for keeping the mind sharp). I never regretted skipping animal hormones...and there weren't many organic choices back then. You grew your own veggies and planted ample fruit trees when you bought your first starter home. The world has changed...and so has menopause!

    Well this is just a sheer coincidence this video came up. Amazing😮 I just basically won the lottery🎉 So far. Negative to cervical cancer. Yes! Going back in 6 months. I knew I was estrogen dominant. Because of Doctor Eric Berg videos. I agree with everything you have said. People are dropping like flies. Cancer is killing so many people here in the country. 6 years. Unhealthy diet. I am a Queenslander. Fish,salad, organic vegetables etc living and eating country food. Bad news. Keto lifestyle as best as possible has turned my life around. I went though menopause out here. Went from size 12 to 20. Unbelievable. Ugly fat. Then last year so sick. I found Doctor Eric Berg and keto. Then bought a device to check blood. Shocker 9.5. Then my small success story started. 10 months later. No depression, sugar levels down, more energy, and bonus lost 10 kilos. And it's stayed off. Back to a healthy Queensland diet. Confession. I did do very 3 in catering operations. Unfortunately I started to bake cakes all types of unhealthy foods. I just wouldn't eat in Queensland. No exercise. I was an outdoor sports person. Cycling, paddling on my ski etc..... Thats how I got into the cancer dangerous zone. Now I do keto as best as possible, love fasting - autophagy, red light therapy machine from Rojo company Australia. And exercise. Doing my best to keep cancer at bay! I will listen to this video about 10 times and study it. Inside out! They should teach us at schools about our body's. Without a doubt. Oh I am inserting estrogen cream for 6 months. 🤞Thank goodness for Doctor Eric Berg

Prior to using it I felt PMS symptoms all month long. It was miserable. Now that I’m post Menopause - like 7 to 8 years later, I’m going to start using it again. I’m STILL experiencing hot flashes. I have reduced sugar and carbs, given up alcohol, stay out of the sun. I don’t know what else to do. I will check out your videos on adrenal support and add Vit. E to my daily supplements. Reliable info on menopausal issues is rare, so your video will help quite a few women, I’m sure. Also want to mention that reducing carbs and sugars and therefore extra weight will help reduce incidence of cysts.

      Men get something much much worse...the intestines slip through the cavity and end up in the ball sack. Not kidding. Most men suffer from severe pelvis pain after Andropause. Their Testosterone levels drop so low that muscle mass no longer exists. Brittle old men... It is not the size of the bone that determines how strong it is for the weight it carries, it is the consistency, the makeup of the material that determines the quality of bone. I see it in chicken all the time. BIG chicken (looks healthy outside) had brittle big bones that easily snap, and the little chicken's bones were extremely dense but smaller and thinner. I could not break that little leg bone even with 2 hands, while I snapped the big one with 2 fingers.

      Colin Quinn Thank you for your post, Colin. Many girls envy the guys because they run faster, lift heavier and aren’t plagued with monthly mood swings, but they seem to forget that men are just human, too, with problems women rarely think about. Having to go through life being ‘the tough one’, the ‘protector and provider’ isn’t everyone’s cookie. Young men these days have it especially hard because women can fulfill many tasks themselves and no longer need a provider or a protector, which leaves many male humans without a sense of purpose or accomplishment. On the other hand, women can achieve both... get satisfied by being a parent AND be the provider AND protector at the same time. Women also have the choice of not becoming pregnant by taking birth control if they wish to do so, which enables them to focus on their own life (for the first time in human history), rather than being put into a situation they didn’t long for.

    Hey Dr Berg, first thank you for the great advice which I have been following for about a year. Just one question - I’ve heard of other women taking maca root, what’s your opinion?

    Keto carnivore fixed my period at age of 45. I have been suffering from irregular period until that age.

    Keep your stress as low as possible= don't talk to your family. Period.

    I am 50. Menopause is my real horror movie.
    I did not hear one single positive thing about menopause in this video, and I know Dr Berg is the most positive and nicer person in youtube.
    This is the end of my beautiful life😢

    Dr berg can you explain more about the sort of vitamin e that is helpful, maybe link to a source you would suggest. Thank you

      Sarah P, the natural Vitamin E is the best one compared to the synthetic Vitamin E. If you look at the label of a Vitamin E bottle, be sure it says d-alpha-tocopherol. Anything that has a “dl” prefix is synthetic.

    WOW WOW WOW! Did you ever nail all my issues Dr. Berg! Almost didn’t watch this one since I’m four years done with Menopause but my sissy sent me this one to see if I’ve heard of yam cream. Everything rang so true. I thank you so much for these ideas👏🏻👏🏻and laughed at your Time To Party Now! If only!

    No offense Dr. Berg but I have never had female issues. Don’t assume menstrual cycles are bad for all! My period only lasts 2-3 days and I’ve only had cramps about 7 periods in my life. Being vegetarian is probably the reason

      He’s talking about menopause not how great your menstrual cycle is or was🤦🏾‍♀️ How your menstrual cycle is may not be how you experience menopause.

    The beauty of all this is that we have Doc. Eric Berg to break down for us exactly what is happening to our bodies, and inform us about good nutrition and supplements and exercise We need to do to help our bodies. We don't have to suffer like our moms did in the past or be exposed to doctors who were totally insensitive. We have help! ! Beautiful cruciferous vegetables ,
    vitamin d, vitamin e etc.
    So cheer up, my dear, all is well.
