"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. It's no surprise our adrenals give out!
Agree! In my experience Brahamari Pranayama (Bumble Bee breathing) helps in keeping the stress low, and gives ability to handle everything calmly without instant reaction, also helps with hot flashes!
Natural menopause at age 45. 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!
@@Carvegirl Oh, stop. With all due respect. When will we realize that there is much in the Bible that is human interpretation. 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.
I went through my periods like a breeze Went trough 3 pregnancies the last two at age 41 and 44 At 47 everything went out the window emotions,anxiety, crying, no energy ,dizzy, ...the list goes on and on Who would of thought .. Im nothing like I used to be This has been a nightmare I want my old self back and dont know how to get there.... Help
I Thank “GOD” that I didn’t know or feel the effects of menopause, I think I was going through some things in my life, that I missed the experience of it! I kind of laugh at myself when I think about how I missed out on it, but not really because when I hear and see about other Women experience of menopause I feel sorry and sympathize for how hard it is for them and the symptoms that they experience. May “GOD” Bless All Women, With Continuing Faith, Strength And Peace To Endure!!!
Thank you for your empathy. It has affected my marriage, my job, my friendships and I don’t feel like myself. Anxiety is never ending and little things you wouldn’t even think are an issue such as insulin like he mentioned, among many other things. It’s sad. I would give a ton to have my old days/nights back again to where menopause wasn’t something I thought about every single day. It’s such a challenge because it affects both your brain as well as your body
I don’t believe you. My sister said the same thing. No so-called symptoms and literally breezed through it. Wrong. Ask your loved ones. They may have a different account of your experience.
Please see videos of menopause barbie: you can go through menopause with a breeze: not experiencing any bad symptoms but after 15 years then very serious diseases happens.
Remember when hormones kicked in as a teen? Well, in my non-medical perspective, menopause is the reverse of that, the dying out of the hormones. Unfortunately, they don't die quietly, but go out kicking and screaming.
Yes since menopause my energy level has gone out the window. I joined my recreation center to walk in the winter months, but getting myself to get out and do it UGH🙁 God Bless You and Your Family Dr. Berg FOREVER AMEN🙇♀️✝️🙏 Keep up the Great Work you do🌟
I lived keto after both my kids to help me stay thin and keep up with being a single mom...my life was so stressful but I endured. Then menopause and my daughter in addiction (she is recovered and sober now), dog dying and several other things at one time hit me. My stomach hurt all the time, bathroom trips up drastically and I just gained weight ate whatever and now at 53 keto isnt working, I feel 85 and I am exhausted, have belly fat and just so frustrated this menopause is a curse. Hot flashes, sleep distruption, body pain...I get very depressed I dont even recognize myself in anyway anymore.
I hear that loud and clear. It’s the most unpleasant daily obstacle I face every day even on HRT. Who is this person? Not the old me I knew for the majority of my life, I’m grieving that person.
Super heavy periods before, stress of worring about pregnancy at 52, then stress of divorce... oh, how I wish I would have had your videos at the time. 62 now and working hard to make healthy choices.
I had breast cancer 5 years ago. HER2 positive, negative for estrogen receptors, weak for progesterone receptors. I’m skeptical to take anything for hormone support. Suggestions? I’m 53, healthy and totally cancer free 🙌🏼🙏💪🏼
Your story sounds almost identical to mine I am 6 years out her2 pos and am in post menapause at 51 thankful but these new symptoms are throwimg me off a bit
I've been eating healthy for 25yrs and I'm almost 55 and I've no symtoms of any menopause this was my aim to prove that healthy diet is the answer oh and no doctors medication either ..
Thanks for sharing this. I don't really have a healthy diet but I'm still gonna give it a try and see.....I'm just entering into this phase ☹️.....but no doubt a healthy lifestyle is key to a healthy body

I've been on high dose bioidentical progesterone cream for many years. Honestly, a life saving cream! It was within a few days that I felt relief from a lot of these symptoms..I'm 48. Been on it since 40. WHEN i decided to quit do to "fear mongering" bad info. I relapsed. I will not stop it. I feel amazing on it. Thank you again, Dr. Berg for the factual info. So grateful for your work. :)
I wish I had started the natural progesterone cream earlier. I do it the way Dr John Lee suggests. If you think about it, the body is used to having huge influxes for long periods of time of progesterone by way of the corpus luteum...
I went on keto in Oct of 2018 and 8 months after I did I quit having periods and went into full menopause. I lost 45 pounds from keto. I'm feeling ok. Oh I'll be 51 this yr.
It's HELL! That's what it is. I have all the symptoms to the severe end, but yet what is worse is the loss of brain function. I can barely put a sentence together. Memory is gone. Multi tasking gone! The pure rage is horrific. I wanted to choke my dog and smash her head. Birth control pills saved my life (and my dogs). I was 80% back to normal within 2 days of taking them. 8 months later, I am now looking into Bio-Identical Hormones. Of course insurance does not cover it.
Brilliant information. 😁 Being Keto/IF these past 18 months has significantly helped me to get through the Menopause much easier, the huge weight loss must have helped too of course. 🤗 Thanks again for always sharing such important information with us all, & take care of yourself too. ❤🙂🐶 Blimey, just realised you put up 3 videos today, we are blessed. Thankyou. 👍🤗
Menopause is where my gut issues began. I have gastritis and was told that I should eat a low-fat diet. I finally asked for a referral to a registered dietitian bc I want to wean off of PPI and feel better now that I’m past menopause.
Still too young for this but its great to be informed . I notice on keto my period became better and pain on my right side ovary when away. Now I don't do keto hard core like I used because I enjoy fasting better but I still keep eye on eating fat. I notice that once I started to introduce sweets back again the pain on right side is creeping back again on my period but not at same level it was before. I I truthly believe that keto and fasting have reduced my pain on my right ovary.
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.
Have you ever had your ovaries examined by way of ultrasound? I had pain in my gallbladder for years but all tests show that my gallbladder was fine; the pain was actually coming from one of my ovaries and I had a cyst on it. All the medical professionals say that cysts do not cause pain, but mine did... for years and finally it was discovered when I was pregnant with my second child during the ultrasound, only because I was pregnant.
@@ilovenoodles7483 I did and I do have cysts. They are small and only on right side. They told me they were not problem because of size. I don't care what they say I feel pain only that side the right ovary. But it got better with fasting and keto
@@ishtar0077 I have a small cyst on my left ovary and every month I get pain there. It’s always on the left side, the cyst definitely causes pain even though it’s small. They told me the same but it can go away so there’s hope 😌
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.
@@doroth215 as we all know women have tons of hormonal stuff going on during their lifetime which affects many things from mood swings to sexual desires, you name it
@Spicy Artisan Hipster Salami with the hormone replacement, are you able to sleep throughout the night without having night sweats or hot flashes? Or you don't experience those?
Thank you for this great video Dr. Berg. I was suffering from dehabilitating hot flashes for months despite taking DIM and other supplements like Vitex to balance my hormones as well as applying bioidentical progesterone cream every night until I found one of your videos about hot flashes and finding out the real problem: weak adrenals. 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.
It’s rare for me to disagree with doctor Berg but on this matter I do. With a lifetime of stress nothing is going to repair the adrenals to a helpful degree and the loss of estrogen has major health consequences. The estrogen is never coming back unless you get it from an external source.
The effects of menstruatation and menopause can be pretty much avoided with a healthy diet full of vegetables and greens/supplements and exercise- preferably with weights...meditation and self care go a long way as well. Also very good boundaries dealing with toxic individuals. Women need to take care of themselves over 40- it’s imperative to our health and mood.
Dr Berg I'm 51 and Im from Cape town South Africa.i gained 20kilos in less than a yr. I thanked God for you.for all your wonderful advice and your videos. You are awesome. Thank you thank you thank you
I’m past menopause, but forwarded this video to my younger friend going through menopause. But I truly learned so much more. Dr Berg thank you for clarifying such an awful transitional time for us! I love your white board along with explanations! I miss them in your recent 2022 videos with your farmer casual look and fabulous beard! Appreciate your get to the point instead of dragging us through! 👏
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!
Peggy Genoway your good karma (thought) you created with your positive attitude (thoughts) is now raining down on you as good health and good looks And an age when many peoples health is in decline your’s is flourishing Good for you.)
@@YeshuaKingMessiah There is no such thing! All animal foods are full of their own, natural hormones, and dairy especially! Dairy comes from PREGNANT cows with a HUGE hormone load!
Strange... I ate vegan my entire adult life and it made me very sick! When I started eating Keto I started to heal from Sarcoidosis in my lungs and my breathing and memory improved dramatically! Bonus! I guess everyone is different. I was given 2-5 years to live when I was diagnosed 10 years ago and I’m feeling and breathing much better now then ten years ago. I’m 63... I’m glad vegan worked for you but if anyone is suffering with Sarcoidosis please try Keto.
It all started for me at 47. Insomnia last night, night sweats, up an hour early, jump in my car.. just to see 4:50 in the car when it should read 5:50.… So I got up an hour early!
It makes sense why so many women suffer because by the time the menopause kicks in their adrenals are worn off and the support is just not there. But lucky there is more and more study now reviewed about the benefits of Bioidentical Hormonal Therapy and the beauty of hormonal supplements.Intermittent fasting and the right diet of the right food is crucial : don't be scared of healthy fats, healthy protein intake and minimum of Carbs intake. Very interesting study, thank yo Dr Berg.
Let’s not mention the occasional dizzy spells unable to sleep feeling depressed all the issues in my case my doctor just wanted to give me anxiety medication’s. I began taking B 12 feel much after yrs of suffering!
When I went through that years ago, I was determined to not make a big deal about it and just accept it as a Natural course by the body as it adjusts and not fight it. I had hot flushes on and off, for up to two years but I just ignored it all, and suddenly it was gone.
@@Lyndengeo if not allergic try herbal infusion of ginger in water as it helps to regulate temperature and a cold water compress on forehead or back of neck will help to cool the blood when needed. This is what I did. So sorry to read about your troubles. I may have got off lightly with that but we all suffer from somethings and there is no escaping everything.
@@Lyndengeo Are you friends w mr. Ice tea? Costco sells thar shite by the gross, which is good, you'll need it. Glass or metal carafe. Tea bag in very full 1 cup Pyrex. Add vitamin C tea, too. Jewel's. Heat 1:30. Cool. Metal and glass get extremely cold. Either that, or move to Chicago, where it's been like spring to us old ladies. Being inside w a coat on is WAY WAY worse than being outside.
Some women manage to get pregnant during menstruation. My nurse friend who help doctors during delivery recently told that she had a patient 49 year old who was going through delivery. Her menstruation stopped a year ago but she got pregnant. She came to GYN with a suspicion she has a tumor in her belly. GYN said she gonna deliver this tumor in three month.
I started keto about 2 months ago. Before that I was overweight, prediabetic and menopausal. Had hot flashes and more symptoms, didn't menstruate more then once, maybe twice a year. After 2 months of keto, I not only lost 7 kilo's, but began having periods again! Had two periods in these 2 months! Hot flashes, sluggishness and tiredness and irritability: gone! I didn't expect that!!
Very timely! Thank you, Dr. Berg! I used the wild yam topical progesterone cream (Emeritus brand) when I was going through menopause, and it really helped me. 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.
@@laurasunderland7 I haven’t bought it in a number of years but I think at a health food store. You can look online. I was going to look for it again because I was having hot flashes but they seem to have subsided. Maybe they’ll be back. Hope not!
I’m confused..estrogen is very LOW w/menopause. One needs to increase it to relieve symptoms & ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT to prevent ❤️disease (#1 killer of women), osteoporosis (much more concerning than most women realize) breast cancer & dementia (SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.) Take hormone replacement; it’s PROTECTIVE of your overall health & wellness & the bonus is relief of all the symptoms😌
I'm 44 years old and I'm going to control my menopause with keto and IF. I have rheumatoid arthritis and I'm going through menopause early. I won't let these man made symptoms control me.
Mindful video.. So much great help for us! Such a nice explanation.. Thankyou so much.. As always the video is knowledgeable ! Thinking where were I in all many years! Dr Berg has been working on these videos more than 13 years approximately if I am not wrong.. These may years so much of his precious time!! One word for Dr Berg is Angel 😇
Thanks for the info, really surprised that more female doctors don’t give this much info, it’s a lot we need…. I went from being slightly anemic and always chilly to now sleeping with fans in March and April, All Day my fan is going…..the hot flashes are sooo real!! And there’s not a lot of info on this so it’s very frustrating.
Did you get vitamin C tea to use iron? Jewel's. Make it w regular bag. Cool and carafe in metal or glass. Huge godsend. Also, the Sumo oranges are in :)))
I am sooo confused about all this estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, post menopausal symptoms. I’m 58, taking a synthetic estradiol .5 mg and a progesterone lotion with herbs. I don’t sleep well at all. Was doing pretty good with the night sweats/hot flashes being diminished until a months ago. Now I’m getting them all the time. I just cry and throw my hands up feeling defeated at being an older woman!!!
I take liquid black coach I dropper fill it helps tremendously at nite or anytime & I also take liquid ginseng & make ice tea with ginger root & honey it’s really improved my hot flashes & nite sweats almost gone rarely have anymore
Hot flashes suck BAAAD! My labedo is fine & everything else except atrophy! Menopause is over & thanks to you I lost 53 lbs in 8 months! I always download every single video
I waited forever to be done with menstruation. The transition wasn't bad; no night sweats & not many bad hot flashes. Six years later I feel totally ripped off with all the other changes. 🤬🤬🤬
Hello. We will add this to our video suggestion list. For now, please see the videos about menopausal: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=menopause -Dr. Berg's Support Team
I am in the Peri-menopause stage, hot flashes nightly and it feels like otherwordly teenage puberty hell all over again!! I am losing my mind. My libido is on 🔥
I'm just over 12 months since my last period. It hasn't been wonderful, but not too bad either. Love that we stopped having to use contraception 🎉. I'm vegetarian but eat lots of eggs and dairy.
FUERITTA Good Morning, I am 42, so I know It’s coming or, I’m in Peri. I had my tubes tied in 2008 after I had twins, and I do believe that after that procedure, I have been experiencing hormonal imbalances. So, I’m always researching! How is your experience, if you don’t mind me asking?
Perimenopause can start in a woman’s 30’s. It can last ten years or more. Mine lasted nine years. I’m 56. Perimenopause is the years leading up to menopause. It’s when your hormones are fluctuating all over the place. I experienced hot flashes, joint pain, heart palpitations, weight gain, etc. Those were the toughest years for me. Menopause is actually only one day. It’s the one year anniversary of having no period. After that one day you are in post menopause until the day you die. So there are three stages: Perimenopause, Menopause (one day), and Post Menopause. In post menopause a woman can still experience some leftovers from perimenopause. I’ll still get the occasional hot flash.
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!
Dr Berg please put hysterectomy on your list of topics to vlog. Especially surgically induced hysterectomies both total where all the reproductive organs are removed and partial where the cervix and at least an ovary are NOT removed. For women in their 40s.
I'd just like to try and help some people reading this... I hadn't had a normal period in many months, until I started taking Selenium (after researching) - please... always do your own research and be guided by professionals. I hope this helps at least one person :)
🚨 DR BERG could you please do a video on perimenopause which is before menopause! also in perimenopause out of 100 symptoms there’s a lot of women who suffer HEART ♥️ PALPITATIONS could you please go over that? I already suffer with afib condition and in perimenopause MY HEART ♥️ flares up often in episodes! I try laying in bed and relax and be calm hoping it passes! last month just starting my period (it’s never going to end 🙄) I’m sure the HORMONES shifting flared MY HEART ♥️ up I ended up in afib and had to rush to the hospital 🏥 pleaseeeeeee DR BERG do a video on this pleaseeeeeeee 🙏🏻 thank you 🤍
I tried Keto and intermittent fasting for a year but it seems that my adrenals stress more on a low 20gm of carbs a day. I wake up at 2am and stay up for a few hours when sleep normally when I eat more carbs
Keto ruined my health. Lots of insomnia, significant hair loss, huge spike in cholesterol, boating and gas, and cravings for things I've never even thought before. I also experienced frequent stools with gallstones.
My sleep isn't as good when I'm on keto. After upping my carb intake I slept better however during the day I was great extra energy, clear minded, better mood etc.
When i started keto within a few weeks all hot flashes stopped. Another odd symptom, i stopped sweating from my armpits about 5 years ago and just recently i started sweating again. I always thought it was abnormal to not sweat from the armpits.
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
I'm 56. Started pre meno at 50 with the hot flashes...I've survived that but I sure feel like that hair on my face is a job 👎 😬 I have changed food items and do intermittent fasting. Low energy at times but Dr.Berg says Salt may be that culprit... Everything else is good 👍😁 Life is such a Journey 😂😬😥🤗💜🌈💜
Thank you so much for this video! I turn around my borderline high cholesterol to normal levels by replacing everything low fat with full fat in my kitchen. However, what is remedy to digest and absorb fats properly, ACV or some other things... video on how to help digest fats with right combination of foods will help! Thanks. 🙏🏻
I breezed through menstruation... Pregnancies and menopause... It is about listening to your body and making sure you have the right diet... The body is a machine and if we're in sinc with it, it guides us.. The problem is that people think negatively, and with the mind being a very powerful muscle, it can (scientifically proven) to engage with the body. So many people love their negative state of mind and don't help themselves. Acknowledge, accept, address and align. We're here once yet waste so much time on the wave of self deprication, rather than the wave of and self care!!
Dr. Berg’s “Estrogen Balance” is the only thing that took away my hot flashes (all the other products I tried stopped working after about a month). I am not getting paid for this endorsement- wish I was!
I m 25 and I think menopause is difficult emotionally aswell coz getting periods makes u feel women and when it stop s it hampers emotionally aswell 😐 atleast for me I feel it's like nightmare like from getting first period to menopause life passed so soon ......this menopause thing shivers me from inside I got menarche at 11 which is early n nowadays women are getting premature menopause
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
Thank you for this. I didn't know that I needed to increase my progesterone and I didn't know about vitamin e. I have been doing healthy keto but I somehow gained 2 pounds after losing 3. I got frustrated last night and ate carbs. Maybe getting the yam cream, vitamin e, etc will help me feel better and go back to the keto
Been healthy all my life till going to menopause hit me. I have frozen shoulders, diagnosed of anxiety (globus sensation), weight gain of 15lbs, joint pain etc. I dont recognize myself anymore. I miss my old body. Im on my late perimenopause and cant wait to be fully menopause but I dont know when it will come. Been 2 yrs of hell for me. Menopause is no joke.

"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.
It's no surprise our adrenals give out!
Wow so true!!

It's so unfair. After years of dealing with menstruation we have to deal with the issues of menopause. I need to speak to the manager up in heaven.

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.

Who told you you were in perimenopause? Once you have not had your period in a year then you’re in menopause.
Last year, I went on the ketogenic diet for 6 months. I discovered that when I ate a strict keto diet, my hot flashes disappeared!

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.
I feel the same way too!!
I went through my periods like a breeze Went trough 3 pregnancies the last two at age 41 and 44 At 47 everything went out the window emotions,anxiety, crying, no energy ,dizzy, ...the list goes on and on Who would of thought .. Im nothing like I used to be This has been a nightmare I want my old self back and dont know how to get there.... Help
check out youtuber menopause barbie. she is a gyne that specializes in menopause and is amazing. really helped me.

@Jocelyn Gail, update? Have you found anything that helped? I hope you are feeling better.❤️

You are so right!!, and off to work I go my employer does not care and does not understand I dont feel good!
".. you're done, no more menstruation, no more pregnancy... it's time to party, right?..".... i fell off my chair laughing!
Lol hahahaha 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤩😆🧜🏽♀️
Yes! And the party is great!!!! Whoo-Hoo!!! :)
🤣🤣🤣
I Thank “GOD” that I didn’t know or feel the effects of menopause, I think I was going through some things in my life, that I missed the experience of it! I kind of laugh at myself when I think about how I missed out on it, but not really because when I hear and see about other Women experience of menopause I feel sorry and sympathize for how hard it is for them and the symptoms that they experience. May “GOD” Bless All Women, With Continuing Faith, Strength And Peace To Endure!!!
Thank you for your empathy. It has affected my marriage, my job, my friendships and I don’t feel like myself. Anxiety is never ending and little things you wouldn’t even think are an issue such as insulin like he mentioned, among many other things. It’s sad. I would give a ton to have my old days/nights back again to where menopause wasn’t something I thought about every single day. It’s such a challenge because it affects both your brain as well as your body
I don’t believe you. My sister said the same thing. No so-called symptoms and literally breezed through it. Wrong. Ask your loved ones. They may have a different account of your experience.
Please see videos of menopause barbie: you can go through menopause with a breeze: not experiencing any bad symptoms but after 15 years then very serious diseases happens.
I am a super sensitive person and the hormone change really affected me until took some herbal supplement
Why God in brackets? Do you believe or don't brliebe in God?
Remember when hormones kicked in as a teen? Well, in my non-medical perspective, menopause is the reverse of that, the dying out of the hormones. Unfortunately, they don't die quietly, but go out kicking and screaming.
Amen..

More screaming than kicking 😉
@@kc3304 Oh, my, yes.
😂😂😂😂
Yes since menopause my energy level has gone out the window. I joined my recreation center to walk in the winter months, but getting myself to get out and do it UGH🙁 God Bless You and Your Family Dr. Berg FOREVER AMEN🙇♀️✝️🙏 Keep up the Great Work you do🌟
Same .....zip energy
@@jocelyngail4196 Yes!
I lived keto after both my kids to help me stay thin and keep up with being a single mom...my life was so stressful but I endured. Then menopause and my daughter in addiction (she is recovered and sober now), dog dying and several other things at one time hit me. My stomach hurt all the time, bathroom trips up drastically and I just gained weight ate whatever and now at 53 keto isnt working, I feel 85 and I am exhausted, have belly fat and just so frustrated this menopause is a curse. Hot flashes, sleep distruption, body pain...I get very depressed I dont even recognize myself in anyway anymore.
I hear that loud and clear. It’s the most unpleasant daily obstacle I face every day even on HRT. Who is this person? Not the old me I knew for the majority of my life, I’m grieving that person.
What HRT? Have you tried Wild Yam cream and Vitamin E? Dr Berg recommended and I read some good reviews.
You can get IBS, too. That's the worst. Imagine the worst, anyway.
Do things for yourself.
Enjoy life!
Be busy with what makes you feel happy...
And everything will be better 👍
@elenatsaka5729 thank u elena
Super heavy periods before, stress of worring about pregnancy at 52, then stress of divorce... oh, how I wish I would have had your videos at the time. 62 now and working hard to make healthy choices.
I had breast cancer 5 years ago. HER2 positive, negative for estrogen receptors, weak for progesterone receptors. I’m skeptical to take anything for hormone support. Suggestions? I’m 53, healthy and totally cancer free 🙌🏼🙏💪🏼
Your story sounds almost identical to mine I am 6 years out her2 pos and am in post menapause at 51 thankful but these new symptoms are throwimg me off a bit
Look at dr Louise Newsom. Some great info there with the patches, sprays now. Might help U. Less risky as not absorbed into liver they say.
I've been eating healthy for 25yrs and I'm almost 55 and I've no symtoms of any menopause this was my aim to prove that healthy diet is the answer oh and no doctors medication either ..
I had no problems with periods or menopause. I'm 70 now and have no major changes. Still doing everything I use to do.
Thanks for sharing this. I don't really have a healthy diet but I'm still gonna give it a try and see.....I'm just entering into this phase ☹️.....but no doubt a healthy lifestyle is key to a healthy body

Omg!!!!!! You are my motivation
I've been on high dose bioidentical progesterone cream for many years. Honestly, a life saving cream! It was within a few days that I felt relief from a lot of these symptoms..I'm 48. Been on it since 40. WHEN i decided to quit do to "fear mongering" bad info. I relapsed. I will not stop it. I feel amazing on it. Thank you again, Dr. Berg for the factual info. So grateful for your work. :)
I wish I had started the natural progesterone cream earlier. I do it the way Dr John Lee suggests. If you think about it, the body is used to having huge influxes for long periods of time of progesterone by way of the corpus luteum...
Which brand and strength of progesterone are you using?
@hi there She's ok. I saw that she follows the china study. Not a fan of that, but she does have some good info otherwise.
@@JustMe-mn4gr dr lee progesteron cream didn't have a good effect on me and i had to stop.
Same here, I feel alot calmer
I went on keto in Oct of 2018 and 8 months after I did I quit having periods and went into full menopause. I lost 45 pounds from keto. I'm feeling ok. Oh I'll be 51 this yr.
I don't care what it is I just wish it would stop...😤😤😤
Me too
Amen to that! Just go away already!😊
It's HELL! That's what it is. I have all the symptoms to the severe end, but yet what is worse is the loss of brain function. I can barely put a sentence together. Memory is gone. Multi tasking gone! The pure rage is horrific. I wanted to choke my dog and smash her head. Birth control pills saved my life (and my dogs). I was 80% back to normal within 2 days of taking them. 8 months later, I am now looking into Bio-Identical Hormones. Of course insurance does not cover it.
Poor wee dog
Brilliant information. 😁 Being Keto/IF these past 18 months has significantly helped me to get through the Menopause much easier, the huge weight loss must have helped too of course. 🤗 Thanks again for always sharing such important information with us all, & take care of yourself too. ❤🙂🐶
Blimey, just realised you put up 3 videos today, we are blessed. Thankyou. 👍🤗
Menopause is where my gut issues began. I have gastritis and was told that I should eat a low-fat diet. I finally asked for a referral to a registered dietitian bc I want to wean off of PPI and feel better now that I’m past menopause.
YES. Worst stomach upset in my life! Feels like friggin food poisoning. For 2 years.
This is like going to school on a Saturday morning, and loved it.
😍😍😍
Still too young for this but its great to be informed . I notice on keto my period became better and pain on my right side ovary when away.
Now I don't do keto hard core like I used because I enjoy fasting better but I still keep eye on eating fat. I notice that once I started to introduce sweets back again the pain on right side is creeping back again on my period but not at same level it was before. I I truthly believe that keto and fasting have reduced my pain on my right ovary.
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.
Can you explain how you fast?
Have you ever had your ovaries examined by way of ultrasound? I had pain in my gallbladder for years but all tests show that my gallbladder was fine; the pain was actually coming from one of my ovaries and I had a cyst on it.
All the medical professionals say that cysts do not cause pain, but mine did... for years and finally it was discovered when I was pregnant with my second child during the ultrasound, only because I was pregnant.
@@ilovenoodles7483
I did and I do have cysts. They are small and only on right side. They told me they were not problem because of size. I don't care what they say I feel pain only that side the right ovary. But it got better with fasting and keto
@@ishtar0077 I have a small cyst on my left ovary and every month I get pain there. It’s always on the left side, the cyst definitely causes pain even though it’s small. They told me the same but it can go away so there’s hope 😌
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.
Sounds like you need a thorough physical including blood work
@@youtoo2233 Did blood test. Waiting for the results.
@@doroth215 as we all know women have tons of hormonal stuff going on during their lifetime which affects many things from mood swings to sexual desires, you name it
@Spicy Artisan Hipster Salami with the hormone replacement, are you able to sleep throughout the night without having night sweats or hot flashes? Or you don't experience those?

Thank you for this great video Dr. Berg. I was suffering from dehabilitating hot flashes for months despite taking DIM and other supplements like Vitex to balance my hormones as well as applying bioidentical progesterone cream every night until I found one of your videos about hot flashes and finding out the real problem: weak adrenals. 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.
Can you share the name of the supplement and where you got it? Thanks!
How long will you take the adrenal supplements for?
Dr Berg has great adrenal support pills. When I could afford to buy them, I was using them.
Christine Caron, please share
@@candymenard6428 Good question - I'm not sure. For now, I need to take them daily. If I skip a few days, the hot flashes come back - not fun ☹.
It’s rare for me to disagree with doctor Berg but on this matter I do. With a lifetime of stress nothing is going to repair the adrenals to a helpful degree and the loss of estrogen has major health consequences. The estrogen is never coming back unless you get it from an external source.
The effects of menstruatation and menopause can be pretty much avoided with a healthy diet full of vegetables and greens/supplements and exercise- preferably with weights...meditation and self care go a long way as well. Also very good boundaries dealing with toxic individuals. Women need to take care of themselves over 40- it’s imperative to our health and mood.
We barely have time for ourselves with kids, jobs and a household. It’s so unfair.
The knowledge you have to share is invaluable. We all need to learn about our own bodies. Thank you, sharing
Dr Berg I'm 51 and Im from Cape town South Africa.i gained 20kilos in less than a yr. I thanked God for you.for all your wonderful advice and your videos. You are awesome. Thank you thank you thank you
Preaching to the choir!
I’m past menopause, but forwarded this video to my younger friend going through menopause. But I truly learned so much more. Dr Berg thank you for clarifying such an awful transitional time for us! I love your white board along with explanations! I miss them in your recent 2022 videos with your farmer casual look and fabulous beard! Appreciate your get to the point instead of dragging us through! 👏
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!
Buy animal meat, offal, eggs & dairy, etc without added hormones.
That is excellent. Congrats on the master's degree! What a great way to enhance brain health for the long-term.
Peggy Genoway your good karma (thought) you created with your positive attitude (thoughts) is now raining down on you as good health and good looks
And an age when many peoples health is in decline your’s is flourishing
Good for you.)
@@YeshuaKingMessiah There is no such thing! All animal foods are full of their own, natural hormones, and dairy especially! Dairy comes from PREGNANT cows with a HUGE hormone load!
Strange... I ate vegan my entire adult life and it made me very sick! When I started eating Keto I started to heal from Sarcoidosis in my lungs and my breathing and memory improved dramatically! Bonus! I guess everyone is different. I was given 2-5 years to live when I was diagnosed 10 years ago and I’m feeling and breathing much better now then ten years ago. I’m 63... I’m glad vegan worked for you but if anyone is suffering with Sarcoidosis please try Keto.
It all started for me at 47. Insomnia last night, night sweats, up an hour early, jump in my car.. just to see 4:50 in the car when it should read 5:50.… So I got up an hour early!
It makes sense why so many women suffer because by the time the menopause kicks in their adrenals are worn off and the support is just not there. But lucky there is more and more study now reviewed about the benefits of Bioidentical Hormonal Therapy and the beauty of hormonal supplements.Intermittent fasting and the right diet of the right food is crucial : don't be scared of healthy fats, healthy protein intake and minimum of Carbs intake. Very interesting study, thank yo Dr Berg.
Dr Berg please do a video on premature ovarian failure at age 30 hitting menopause
Let’s not mention the occasional dizzy spells unable to sleep feeling depressed all the issues in my case my doctor just wanted to give me anxiety medication’s. I began taking B 12 feel much after yrs of suffering!
Is Dizzy spell a symptom , I'm 45 can't bear it will ask my doc for b12 shots
It's so brilliant information.Thank you so much Doctor Berg.
When I went through that years ago, I was determined to not make a big deal about it and just accept it as a Natural course by the body as it adjusts and not fight it. I had hot flushes on and off, for up to two years but I just ignored it all, and suddenly it was gone.
Lucky you. 11 yrs of hot hot hot no sleep of quality.

Some women manage to get pregnant during menstruation. My nurse friend who help doctors during delivery recently told that she had a patient 49 year old who was going through delivery.
Her menstruation stopped a year ago but she got pregnant. She came to GYN with a suspicion she has a tumor in her belly. GYN said she gonna deliver this tumor in three month.
My mum always said she knew many women in their late 40s early 50s who had change of life babies...

I started keto about 2 months ago. Before that I was overweight, prediabetic and menopausal. Had hot flashes and more symptoms, didn't menstruate more then once, maybe twice a year. After 2 months of keto, I not only lost 7 kilo's, but began having periods again! Had two periods in these 2 months! Hot flashes, sluggishness and tiredness and irritability: gone! I didn't expect that!!
Good job!

Very timely! Thank you, Dr. Berg! I used the wild yam topical progesterone cream (Emeritus brand) when I was going through menopause, and it really helped me. 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.
See Barbara Hoffman's channel on UA-cam.
Where do you buy your wild yam cream?
@@laurasunderland7 I haven’t bought it in a number of years but I think at a health food store. You can look online. I was going to look for it again because I was having hot flashes but they seem to have subsided. Maybe they’ll be back. Hope not!
Don't mess w my only reason to live. Lol
I think wild yams is estrogenic...
I’m confused..estrogen is very LOW w/menopause. One needs to increase it to relieve symptoms & ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT to prevent ❤️disease (#1 killer of women), osteoporosis (much more concerning than most women realize) breast cancer & dementia (SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.) Take hormone replacement; it’s PROTECTIVE of your overall health & wellness & the bonus is relief of all the symptoms😌
As someone who loves being a mother and wanted more kids, this is not a party for me, it is a sad reality. Very hard for me to deal with.
@@harvestingsouls74 so glad to hear this. Sometimes it feels women don't care about motherhood and I really appreciate hearing this.

So much great help for us!
Such a nice explanation..
Thankyou so much..
As always the video is knowledgeable !
Thinking where were I in all many years!

These may years so much of his precious time!!
One word for Dr Berg is
Angel 😇
Thanks for the info, really surprised that more female doctors don’t give this much info, it’s a lot we need…. I went from being slightly anemic and always chilly to now sleeping with fans in March and April, All Day my fan is going…..the hot flashes are sooo real!! And there’s not a lot of info on this so it’s very frustrating.
Did you get vitamin C tea to use iron? Jewel's. Make it w regular bag. Cool and carafe in metal or glass. Huge godsend.
Also, the Sumo oranges are in :)))
Dr bergs advise has always been spot on… but get rid of stress ? lol yeah id need to cash my ticket in to Glory today ! 💕
I am sooo confused about all this estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, post menopausal symptoms. I’m 58, taking a synthetic estradiol .5 mg and a progesterone lotion with herbs. I don’t sleep well at all. Was doing pretty good with the night sweats/hot flashes being diminished until a months ago. Now I’m getting them all the time. I just cry and throw my hands up feeling defeated at being an older woman!!!
I take liquid black coach I dropper fill it helps tremendously at nite or anytime & I also take liquid ginseng & make ice tea with ginger root & honey it’s really improved my hot flashes & nite sweats almost gone rarely have anymore
I like 1/2 a Wana edible. The Strawberry lemonade.
I finally get it, thank you very much, great explanation.
Your reading my mind first afternoon slumps and now menopause.
Hot flashes suck BAAAD! My labedo is fine & everything else except atrophy! Menopause is over & thanks to you I lost 53 lbs in 8 months! I always download every single video
I waited forever to be done with menstruation. The transition wasn't bad; no night sweats & not many bad hot flashes. Six years later I feel totally ripped off with all the other changes. 🤬🤬🤬
Great video, awesome data and well communicated!

I would love to hear ur take on when pre menopause can start
Dr. Berg can you speak on Menopause and Hashimoto. Women going thru menopause and diagnosed with Hashimotos. Thank you
As much as I didn't like my cycle. I didn't want to go away. It became part of me.
ME TOO!!!!!....😔
Do we know how much Vit e to take and how often?
Great information. Thanks Dr. Berg.
My mother went through peri menopause at 38 and she is still in menopause and she is 56. She kind of prepared me for some side effects.
Nell Ethiopia same here my mom started at 38, so did I, and now I'm 54 and I'm still in it...
FUERITTA Good Morning, I am 42, so I know It’s coming or, I’m in Peri. I had my tubes tied in 2008 after I had twins, and I do believe that after that procedure, I have been experiencing hormonal imbalances. So, I’m always researching! How is your experience, if you don’t mind me asking?
Perimenopause can start in a woman’s 30’s. It can last ten years or more. Mine lasted nine years. I’m 56. Perimenopause is the years leading up to menopause. It’s when your hormones are fluctuating all over the place. I experienced hot flashes, joint pain, heart palpitations, weight gain, etc. Those were the toughest years for me. Menopause is actually only one day. It’s the one year anniversary of having no period. After that one day you are in post menopause until the day you die. So there are three stages: Perimenopause, Menopause (one day), and Post Menopause. In post menopause a woman can still experience some leftovers from perimenopause. I’ll still get the occasional hot flash.
If it's been 12 months and no period, technically you're post.
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!
Dr Berg please put hysterectomy on your list of topics to vlog. Especially surgically induced hysterectomies both total where all the reproductive organs are removed and partial where the cervix and at least an ovary are NOT removed. For women in their 40s.
Yes great suggestion
Excellent explanation.
I'd just like to try and help some people reading this... I hadn't had a normal period in many months, until I started taking Selenium (after researching) - please... always do your own research and be guided by professionals.
I hope this helps at least one person :)
🚨 DR BERG could you please do a video on perimenopause which is before menopause! also in perimenopause out of 100 symptoms there’s a lot of women who suffer HEART ♥️ PALPITATIONS could you please go over that? I already suffer with afib condition and in perimenopause MY HEART ♥️ flares up often in episodes! I try laying in bed and relax and be calm hoping it passes! last month just starting my period (it’s never going to end 🙄) I’m sure the HORMONES shifting flared MY HEART ♥️ up I ended up in afib and had to rush to the hospital 🏥 pleaseeeeeee DR BERG do a video on this pleaseeeeeeee 🙏🏻 thank you 🤍
Thank you SO much for this. Seriously my quality of life is better because of you.
I tried Keto and intermittent fasting for a year but it seems that my adrenals stress more on a low 20gm of carbs a day. I wake up at 2am and stay up for a few hours when sleep normally when I eat more carbs
Strict keto trashes my health every time, I have 2 higher carb days a week. I feel much better doing that.
That is a cortisol issue
Keto ruined my health. Lots of insomnia, significant hair loss, huge spike in cholesterol, boating and gas, and cravings for things I've never even thought before. I also experienced frequent stools with gallstones.
@@andreakessler8316 I had bad hair and muscles loss too. Keto isn't for everyone. Moderation is the key
My sleep isn't as good when I'm on keto. After upping my carb intake I slept better however during the day I was great extra energy, clear minded, better mood etc.
When i started keto within a few weeks all hot flashes stopped. Another odd symptom, i stopped sweating from my armpits about 5 years ago and just recently i started sweating again. I always thought it was abnormal to not sweat from the armpits.
Guide us for a surgical menopause it is different with a complete hysterectomy
Yes!!!!!
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
"Estrogen also comes from your own FAT ..." Then the marker makes a raspberry sound, Right on que! LOL
Dr. Berg you are saving my life man did I need that info on meno yeaaaa#!#
What about natural hormone therapy?? My mom said that she was taking natrual hormones which she got compounded and she said it really helped her
I'm 56. Started pre meno at 50 with the hot flashes...I've survived that but I sure feel like that hair on my face is a job 👎 😬 I have changed food items and do intermittent fasting. Low energy at times but Dr.Berg says Salt may be that culprit... Everything else is good 👍😁 Life is such a Journey 😂😬😥🤗💜🌈💜
43 and keto over a year. I get multiple cycles per month yet I'm having hot flashes. Nothing I have ever done has made my cycles less painful.
See Barbara Hoffman's channel on UA-cam. Bioidentical Progesterone cream (like Emerita brand) is enormously helpful.
Do you have any advice for a Male going through menopause ?
😎👍 Thanks a lot, Dr. Berg, just in time again ... menopause is hitting me really extra hard since two weeks.
Thank you so much for this video! I turn around my borderline high cholesterol to normal levels by replacing everything low fat with full fat in my kitchen. However, what is remedy to digest and absorb fats properly, ACV or some other things... video on how to help digest fats with right combination of foods will help! Thanks. 🙏🏻
How did you lower your cholesterol? My cholesterol is high and my doctor tells me I can't take fats anymore
I take Maca root and have taken wild yam it helps
Wonderful information as usual. Thank you much.
There is a great channel on Utube " Menopausal Taylor" , she is an excellent teacher, just like Dr Berg, about all issues after life change.
I breezed through menstruation... Pregnancies and menopause... It is about listening to your body and making sure you have the right diet...
The body is a machine and if we're in sinc with it, it guides us.. The problem is that people think negatively, and with the mind being a very powerful muscle, it can (scientifically proven) to engage with the body. So many people love their negative state of mind and don't help themselves. Acknowledge, accept, address and align.
We're here once yet waste so much time on the wave of self deprication, rather than the wave of and self care!!
Some of us aren't that lucky
@@Lyndengeoit's not usually luck. For a few, maybe. For others, it's choices and priorities.
Thanks for this 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻so informative 🤩
Thank you ! Sending to my daughter’s
Dr. Berg’s “Estrogen Balance” is the only thing that took away my hot flashes (all the other products I tried stopped working after about a month). I am not getting paid for this endorsement- wish I was!
I m 25 and I think menopause is difficult emotionally aswell coz getting periods makes u feel women and when it stop s it hampers emotionally aswell 😐 atleast for me I feel it's like nightmare like from getting first period to menopause life passed so soon ......this menopause thing shivers me from inside I got menarche at 11 which is early n nowadays women are getting premature menopause
When you get a period is based on % body fat. Fat kids get it early.
The Secret Life of Fat book
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
Mine were like that too. I went thru menopause at 47. 😅
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.
I only have the hot flashes and absolutely no patience for anything or anyone!😛😜
Thats low progesterone
Me too, it’s amazing!!
Thank you for this. I didn't know that I needed to increase my progesterone and I didn't know about vitamin e. I have been doing healthy keto but I somehow gained 2 pounds after losing 3. I got frustrated last night and ate carbs. Maybe getting the yam cream, vitamin e, etc will help me feel better and go back to the keto
Been healthy all my life till going to menopause hit me. I have frozen shoulders, diagnosed of anxiety (globus sensation), weight gain of 15lbs, joint pain etc. I dont recognize myself anymore. I miss my old body. Im on my late perimenopause and cant wait to be fully menopause but I dont know when it will come. Been 2 yrs of hell for me. Menopause is no joke.
