I really feel that every doctor and nurse should have to study your videos. My mother is 89 and still on HRT. Her doctor said to her recently when she told him that she has been having hot sweats recently that she should never have been on HRT for so long and should come off it immediately. I said 'Why?' He had no answer! I told him what I knew about the benefits of HRT and said that except for her arthritis, she's very healthy and should stay on it. My mother said to her doctor that she has enough to put up with her pain, why should she have to suffer more by coming of her HRT? It seems so unfair that women have such a battle within the medical profession.
You are absolutely correct, and I am proud of both you and your mother for advocating for yourselves. I always say, "Don't dissect a rose." That means, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. Or, if you are doing well, don't change things.
Unfortunately this IGNORANT statement from uneducated physicians happens all the time!
@@salviaprezzemolo2165 Hi there, my mother had a hysterectomy before menopause in her late forties I believe, after she had her last child at 44. It was a few years later after that, I don't recall how long, I have asked her but she does not remember, she was put on oestrogen after having a terrible time with hot flushes and sprouting bristles on her chin....I wonder why?! She was put on low dose patches 0.3mg from the start. If I had had the the knowledge I now have thanks to Menopause Taylor I would have insisted she was put on a higher dose from the start. She was diagnosed with having spinal arthritis and had a spinal operation which has caused her such severe pain. I wonder whether she actually had osteoporosis all along, as she has lost a lot of height and is bent over and can barely walk. She is severely disabled now, although healthy, and of sound mind, I have to care for her now. Arthritis is not in my family. Sorry, so long-winded but I am very upset for my mother's predicament. We are in the UK. I have been on high dose HRT for the last 9 years and I am so healthy and active and take no other medication at 63. I am told they will try to get me off it soon. No way Jose! I hope this has been helpful. 😊
@@eunicegantt3069 This is true.
@@salviaprezzemolo2165 My apologies, I did not actually answer your question after all that! 😊 My mother has stayed on her low dose of 0.3mg all these years.
I'm almost 55 and have been going through my awful perimenopausal symptoms "naturally" and unmedicated. The more I'm learning from you the more I'm convinced I'm going about this all wrong! Why am I putting myself through so much suffering when I could take hormonal support? Thank you for helping me understand my body better, Dr. Taylor! 🙏☺💖
Why don't you schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME? It's a short-cut that gives you the entire education AND tailors all the information specifically to YOU. There is no way you can get as much as you need personally from videos alone, even if you do watch them all in order starting with the very first one.
I have said it before...and, I will say it again...I wish I was more aware of peri menopause and menopause in my late thirties. Some of my behaviors back then would have been understood (by myself)...anxiety...anger...and the changes of my interests in being “motherly” in my mid forties. These were profound changes...and...at the time...I didn’t know what or why. 🌼 Your YT videos have been LIFE CHANGING for me! ❤️
My biggest dream is for ALL women to get this education in their 20s and 30s. You clearly realize what a big positive difference it would make in their lives. If only women would look to the future and not wait until the last minute!
@@MenopauseTaylor I could not agree more. I share your information with many women. 🌺🥰Thank you for your gift of education and the way your presentations are...it is just beautiful! I wish these girls (in their twenties) would listen...maybe they are...💁🏼♀️
@@thefunctionalfarmacista7790 If women talk more, other women will listen more. And you are doing your part to make that happen.
@@salviaprezzemolo2165 I love this! This is what I hope happens with this education. I mean, it's JUST EDUCATION! I'm not selling anything. Why wouldn't everyone want an education? (Spoken by the nerdiest of nerds.)
Most people want quick fixes. That's why they ask other people for recommendations and advice. It's also why marketers make so much money.
I knew nothing about menopause but tried to learn and read books about hot flashes which I never got! I tried to talk about it and people will push their views about anything but menopause is taboo! My mom said zero about menopause! My mom had strange behaviors and moods well before menopause LOL! But she never ever talked about it! Not even once! Friends are not in the least open to talking about it.But my hubby watches these videos with you! Doctors are afraid to talk about it. They dont know anything about it. I finally got one of the very few menopause specialists on the east coast. Other than him they are all clueless! Thank you for this education! We have learned so much from you !
I love knowing that you're here, Pinky. You are such an ardent supporter. And you contribute so much in your comments. Thank you.
This was good. I laughed and laughed when you brought up men. You speak the truth. We women suffer in silence. Shame on us! Thanks for you and your education ...to empower women every where. Thank You!
You are so welcome, Dana. My goals to give you the menopause education you deserve. So keep watching (all videos ignorer, starting from the first one, of course). I love doing this for you.
As 2020 comes to an end the best thing I can say is I found Dr. Taylor, her channel and got the education of a life time! I continue to learn at 56 but all I can say is starting HRT has been life changing and taking control of what tests I get done. I know so much more and have gotten my life back, even during these challenging times of COVID I will come out of 2020 as an educated women who now knows how we should age and what we can expect. Dr. Taylor I thank you for all you do and look forward to speaking to you again in the New Year! The very best in 2021!
This is just the sweetest comment, Anne. It makes me teary. Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts so. I'll make 2021 even better!
I can agree to that , I got hot flashes, when to my doctor, got checked and I was in the menopause, and got HRT right away, I slept again and could cope with 2020 better, thank you Taylor 🙏🏻
@@tinekruijmer9438 I love it when I get messages like this that are full of confidence, comfort, and happy outcomes.
You’ve got that right, sister! But thank you for your work in changing that! ❤️😍😘
You are so welcome, my dear.
Thank you again, every video I watch I thank God for helping me find you dr. Barbie! My mom never told us nothing about menopause, she mew nothing because her mom new nothing! Even the periods was a taboo! After finding dr. Barbie I made all this education journey with my other half my twin sister and our life changed! But I can't persuade my older sister although I've tried so hard, because she prefers to listen to her gynecologist! So sad! No one wants to listen, that's why your work is do important my inspiration Barbie! Keep awakening women!❤❤❤
Thank you, Ioanna. I am just so glad you and your sister are both getting this education and feeling confident about your menopause management.
I knew nothing until I watched your videos. My 93 year old mother is a victim of menopause neglect and her mother before her. My mother never told me anything about menopause or her symptoms. She fell the other day,and suffered a mini stroke. I am almost too old to save myself. I am 70 ,but hopefully with a serm, I might prevent some of menopause symptoms.
Deborah,
It is NEVER too late. You should seriously consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. With my help, you can make a huge difference in your future.
True True so true and I would not know what I know about menopause only for you. Thank you
I am proud to be the one giving you this education. But I am so sad that I'm the only one. That's just unacceptable.
MOST DEFINITELY!! TIME FOR THE REAL
CHANGE💥💥💥🙏
Exactly
I personally sick of people using the topic as a slam an eye roll 😠 I speak up an tell as many as I can about you an your educational mission ❤️
Go Daisy! We're going to start a menopause revolution. I applaud you. And thank you for your support.
@@MenopauseTaylor your Welcome Im going to buy the new version of your book the last 3 I've bought I've loaned out an they doing so much studying I've just said keep it as a coffee table reference book❤️
@@daisyjo5358 Most women tell me they refer to my book for something almost every day. The second edition is about 100 pages longer than the first, and much more current in terms of information. 10 years is a long time in medicine.
I just came across a new upload from ODD TV a truth song "You have the right to remain ignorant" It's about lies we're programmed to believe but so much of this stuff includes what we're not taught things kept hidden that everyone has a right to know. Thank you Dr Barbie for the way you cover everything. I went to see a 60 year old friend. I had a chastberry drink in a small juice bottle it looks weird she was curious didn't know what progesterone was. I try to wake people up however I can but they do have the right to remain ignorant. I hope they change their minds about seeking knowledge appropriate for them.
Most people are perfectly comfortable with their ignorance. Sad, but true.
So true! It still puzzles me that women still suffer in silence. I bought your book and have watched your educational videos since Oct 2019. It changed my life and I really felt empowered to take control of my body - inside and out. I’ll be 55 in Jan and started taking HRT 6 mo ago. For mostly fighting diseases such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, dementia. It runs in my family. You’re right. I shared your book and videos with both my sister and boss. I doubt either of them will take the advice. My sister says she’ll let nature take its course. Thank you again for all that you do for us. You’re an angel. ❤️ 🙏
Well, I applaud you for trying to save other women's lives, even if they don't realize what you're doing. Just keep telling them how much it has changed YOUR life rather than how much they need it to change THEIR life, and they'll be more likely to listen.
It is the kind of topic never discussed. I knew it would happen and sensed that it was soon enough when for years I was having occasional hot flashes and had serious insomnia.
Fast forward to the spine MRI. Never thought that what it found would bring menopause on faster. Six weeks after the call about the MRI findings I was recovering from my TAH BSO and in surgical menopause. Within a few days of being released I found you and started my education! Thank you for doing what you do.
OB/GYN residents should have to have more time spent on educating them on the natural process of menopause
I've had your book at work and more than a few 30-40 something looking at it.....
All I got from my kom about it was joking about "The change"......
Well, you are certainly doing your part to erase the neglect. And because you are getting this education, you now see how badly all women need it.
I knew absolutely nothing about menopause until I found you Dr Barbara Taylor. I am sad, mad and happy as a result - ie sad at not understanding my body better, specifically female reproduction. I wish I’d known about the link between menopause, heart, brain and bone health! I now know profoundly more about the repercussions of my ageing rmenopausal body from your tutorials. At 57 I’m back on track again in trying to better manage my menopause only now with a different added focus - my heart, brain and bone health. Ive been frustrated because like most women depending on where we live in the world I have to hunt high and low for a doctor who “gets it”. If a GP (General Practitioner) is said to specialize in ‘women’s health’ it more often means either fertility and aged care. When she does find a ‘menopause specialist’ it’s as if she were seeing a specific disease specialist and the costs are ridiculously higher than the GP who specializes in women’s health. Thank God for you Dr Taylor. However God help the rest of us drowning in the rough ocean of medical ignorance and neglect regarding menopause!
Thank you so much for appreciating this education. It's what all women deserve. And I'm here to hold your hand.
If you need my personal help, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I appreciate you so greatly!!! Thank you for all your dedication! I have learned so much from you. I’ve been neglected for years... been to a ton of doctors who treated symptoms that I was having... uveitis, itchy skin, heart palpitations, insomnia, weight gain, flashes, constipation etc...they even thought I had an autoimmune disease... wanting to dope me up with meds ... not ever clueing in on the fact that I was menopausal. It wasn’t till I learned from you and went to an endocrinologist ( after visiting 4 Gyn docs) that I was able to have a deep conversation about what was going on in my body and what remedy to use to calm things down. My mom, sisters and friends had nothing to offer in advice other than to pray about it... since I felt like I was losing my mind, prayer was their remedy. I felt so helpless! Till I discovered your channel. Thank you!!! I have started this phase of my life differently... dropping a lot of things and people along the way... this has been a life shift for me. Recently started hrt based on the info on your channel... because a lot of women believe hrt will lead to cancer. Misinformation, culture, lack of researching and reading has a lot of us stuck in misery. Thank God for you!
You make me so happy, my dear. I am so grateful for your kind words. And I am so thrilled that you found a menopause management that works for you. I love helping you.
ATM- automatic testosterone machine-that was hysterical, Dr. B! You are so right, I knew nothing about this topic, even though I've been menopausal for 7 years. Definitely was more of an "earth mother" as you've coined us, never thought I would take pharmaceuticals unless I had no choice. Now that I've been educated on the topic by you, I can't get them fast enough...and I'm afraid I'm having a difficult time getting them! What irony! After our consult earlier this month, I asked my doctor to prescribe me a bisphosphonate for my severe osteopenia Tscore -2.4. I told him I scheduled an appontment with a gynecologist and planned on going on HRT and therefore would like the bisphosphonate to address my bone loss, since those are the meds to be taken together with HRT. He told me he'd like me to see an endocrinologist and see what he says. He wouldn't prescribe me the drug!! Unreal! My appointment with the gynecologist is today, Im hoping that if I play my cards right, like you counselled me, I may get what I want. This is sheer madness.
Teaching you how to navigate the system is such a big part of this education. And you are right: It is madness. Can you imagine an insulin-dependent diabetic having this much trouble getting insulin?
My mother and her sisters talked to me about menopause because breast cancer runs in our family, but that shouldn't be the only reason families discuss it.
And family members generally distort the information simply because they learn it in piecemeal fashion. You would benefit greatly from scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you want to really understand how your personal history affects you.
I can't in any way place any blame on our mothers. The major (maybe even sole) responsibility for the neglect regarding this subject falls on the medical community. They should be ashamed of themselves. It should be part of the conversation all women have with their doctors during their annual exams when they reach a certain age, well before menopause occurs. And yes, of course it should be an in-depth part of medical school curriculum. Maddening.
So true!!!! Maddening is a good analogy!!!
Part of this problem is that men were telling us what we should do! I will never ever go to a male OBGYN or have my daughters go to one. So much misinformation and not giving a crap of what we are going through. Thank you Dr. Taylor!
Exactly! I'm trying to change that. I'm in the process of creating educational resources for all the professionals who help menopausal women but know nothing about menopause (Pharmacists, Naturopaths, Dieticians, Nutritionists, Fitness Instructors).
@@annedon776 Unfortunately, female gynecologists tend to be just as bad.
@@MenopauseTaylor Agreed. 17 years ago when I went into menopause my female doctor put me on the one-size-fits-all Premarin because at that time that's what was done for practically every woman who relayed symptoms to their doctor. My body quickly rejected that. It made me sick as a dog. So dizzy, I could hardly stand up. I took matters into my own hands and tried to do as much research as a non-professional could do and decided on Bio-Identical HRT. Best thing I ever did for myself. But how pathetic is that, that we have to do the research ourselves. Thank you for all you're doing to help educate women and the medical profession!
I’m so thankful for your videos. I’m on video 75 and I just couldn’t resist watching this most recent video. Your videos have made a huge difference in my life
I don’t know you personally but you have gained a friend in me
Thanks for lifting women up and reminding us that we are valuable at any age (:
My Dear Patty,
Thank you so much for this. I just love knowing that you're getting the education you deserve by watching my videos in order. And I love knowing that you view me as your friend. I am definitely that.
Thank you for being a pioneer on this subject. I have learned so much from you!!
You are absolutely welcome, my dear. I like being a pioneer woman.
So true about the man!!!! I wish I know than what I know now for my mom. She passed away at 64 years young. So sad
So many women who get this education see, for the first time in their lives, what happened to their mothers. I agree it's sad. But my hope is that we stop the bad outcomes & the sadness by educating women in advance. You are a good example of that.
I'm still bingeing!!! So grateful for you!
You are so welcome. Just binge in order.
Thank you, Dr. Taylor. I am extremely grateful for your efforts. You are the best!
You are so welcome, my dear. I love helping you. And your kind words mean a lot to me.
I applaud what you are doing for women and the detail you go into on every subject relating to menopause. I cannot thank you enough for educating us!
You are so welcome, my dear. Your words just warm my heart. Thank you for appreciating this education.
I believe you have the most positive impact on my quality of life for years to come thank you. I frequently tease my husband because he has a different mind set when he visits his dude friends I ask What you talk about.sports beer and girls? He laughs and says "that's.how they are." We're moving soon while advocating to keep this place open. We have no heat at the moment so I dress really warm most nights I deal with cold intolerance and hot flashes and don't sleep well my over head light is solar so the longer its on one night the sooner it stops working the next night so I can't sleep or get up. Today at work I yelled at a.customer for giving my little puppy a chocolate chip cookie behind my back thankfully no one on the job appeared to notice but then maybe he needs to be yelled at for feeding a.pet anything without permission. If I could sleep I might have handled it differently we certainly need more awareness. I find it strange that no one talks about menopause and I knew nothing of course I'm so thankful to have found this channel right when I need it
You make me smile, my dear Christine. Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts.
I knew about menopause only about 3% before I was referred to your channel by Dominic. I am so happy to know you.
And I love having you as my student.
My only guess as to why the change of life is neglected is the historically, average lifespans were shorter, so the majority didn’t live long enough to have a natural menopause.
But for decades, people have been living decades longer, and so it should no longer be swept under the rug.
I lived in a 55+ community, but was well under that age myself. I’d made many friendly acquaintances who I was able to talk about everything under the sun, our female anatomy, sex, but being confused about what to expect while I was going through what I later learned was peri menopause, I tried asking those elderly women about menopause, but kept getting the same terse reply of, “well, I had a hysterectomy “, and that was the end of discussion.
My mother, who was very frank about educating me about periods, had a hysterectomy at about 35, a surgical menopause.
I was mystified because from age 40 until nearly 46, the menses were very irregular,until they finally went away by 46.
Having had suffered decades of excruciating endometriosis and not wanting to bear children, I was eagerly looking forward to my menopause finally being over.
About the man in my life, yes, because I was so curious about the changes in the skipped periods, I gave him an unsolicited play by play of all my changes.
A few years after it was over for good, I saw the aging on my face and breasts and decided it was time for, not a mommy makeover, but a menopause makeover, so off to a plastic surgeon I went. During one of my many follow up visits, the doctor’s wife, his business manager, a few years or so older than me, commiserated that there just isn’t enough information about menopause. A doctor’s wife!
I tell you what, despite a dexa scan revealing poor bone density, I have been embracing this stage of my life! No more pelvic pain driving me to alcoholism, no more disgusting messes and embarrassing odors from it, no more pads, tampons or liners! I feel free and liberated!
Maybe these uptight prudes just don’t want to be reminded of the aging process and that we all get older if we live long enough.
But I have been viewing this new season of my life as a new chapter to embark upon, and it’s given me time to take stock of my life and to improve my nutrition and to make other positive changes like stress management, etc.
Hi Dr. Taylor this is so sad and downright unacceptable you are such a gift to this world!!! Thank you for changing this! I’m having the hardest time in my life with this change and I can’t thank you enough for educating us woman! I’m sharing my experience on my channel Divinethreefold it’s all about movement, meditation to help us through! I’m referring everyone straight to you for their menopause education.
All my love to you!✨✨✨💗💗💗
You are right dr barbie I know nothing about menopause and noone told me that after menopause you face all these problems .my menopause is sudden and premature due to hysterectomy .it's changed me totally now I am a new woman whose less confident, measurable depress and all my charme go away .when I start watching your video I usually stop it in the middle because after knowing all this stuff I get more depress.but now I watch your vedios and search my options .I found a gyno whose give me estrogel .all my friends says go away from HRT and my dr alse aware me from side-effects but I know I want estrogen . I m in the way of fell better .I'm not going to suffer .hope things are going to better but I tell you dr barbie fear of HRT is still here and hard to erase.
I love the confidence in your decisions. That's what this education is all about.
My friends want nothing to do with you and my opinion of you. It's frustrating that I can't find a doctor or friend who wants to talk about it.
Thank you for all your time!
I'm not a bit surprised, Jennifer. I chose the most unpopular topic on earth and then turned my channel into a classroom.
Menopause is THE most neglected topic on earth ... even by women themselves. I always warn my viewers that their friend will shun them & their mention of menopause.
But the trick is this: DO NOT tell them that THEY need this education. Instead talk only about YOURSELF and how little you knew before getting it. Say that you had everything all wrong and were about to make every mistake. They'll listen to that.
I have found it frustrating as well talking to some girlfriends. The conversation just gets shut down, amazes me. Thankyou for the menapause information, I want to know.
@@staceyconridge1516 It's such a shame that menopausal women themselves have contributed so much to the horrific neglect of menopause, isn't it!
Thank you! You are an awesome teacher. I have quality of life with HRT.❤🤗
Thank you, my dear. I love providing this education for you.
The one thing springs to mind is that so many women were complaining about being in the peri-menopause, menopause and post-menopause, me included, yet the one thing that made me stand to attention when I was so lucky to have stumbled across your page! Was your amazingly positive outlook on everything
Your Happy Smile, Charisma, Endearing Kindness, Beauty, Style and Wisdom - sharing with so many ladies your knowledge in such a profound way, I found 🔝You Absolutely Admirable👌
This was a wake up call that made me feel, as well as a lot of other women feel grateful and happy to be so lucky to have reached peri-menopause, menopause and post-menopause 🤩 This is all because of 🔝You 👑
Thank you so much for all your advice, help, knowledge and guidance 🔝You Are Amazing 💯
You are so very kind, my dear. Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts. I love every minute of creating and delivering this menopause education to you. I want to empower you to turn your negatives into positives!
@@MenopauseTaylor Aww I am only saying the truth and you do exactly that. You truly do empower us turning our negatives into positives! I am so truly grateful of your guidance, support and menopause education, Thank you so much for all of your continuous help.
@@susannahjones8462 It's my absolute pleasure.
I also knew nothing about menopause before finding your videos. I only went searching for information when the hot flashes started ruining my life at the age of 45. When I learned that estrogen had started leaving my body I started to understand why I was experiencing such horrible symptoms. I'm a healthy non-smoker and low risk so I started taking the pill and my life has changed! I can't thank you enough for this education. I have told all my friends about your channel and hope they learn as much as I have.
Thank you so much, Claudia, for appreciating this education. It's what all women deserve. And you recognize that. My dream is for all women to get this education in their 20s and 30s.
@@MenopauseTaylor I will be teaching my daughters who are only 6 and 8 now. I loved how you said we should be talking about the rough changes around puberty and mention there will be another rough stage when we stop having periods around 30 years later. It makes so much sense.
@@cotavic Claudia,
You will be improving your daughters' lives forever by planting the seed of menopause. They will have a positive attitude about it, embrace it, anticipate it, and manage it successfully. I am just thrilled to hear this, and I wish there were more mothers like you. Brava for you!
¡Muchas felicidades! Gracias por lo que hace por nosotras las mujeres. I am so glad I found you! 🙌😁🇵🇷
Well, I'm glad you found me, too. I love giving you this education. And if you start with video 1 and watch them all in order, you will definitely understand everything.
OMG, you are so right.. I do not understand why doctos, woman do not talk about this process. My friends dont want talk about this subject.😶 Thank you for your info.
Now you'll really notice how much everybody ignores this important aspect of every woman's life.
If you really want the menopause education you deserve, start with video 1 and watch them all in order. You'll be shocked at what you didn't know. And you will really love learning because I make it fun and easy.
Thankyou for everything you do; it is so important. Yes, I do talk about menopause frequently (thanks to the facts I have learnt from your teaching). 💋
You are so very welcome, my dear. I love knowing you're here.
when woman lift each other incredible things Happen .
Thank you so much for educating Us more and more On HR therapy
Bless you 🙏🏽
You are so welcome, my dear. I love giving you this education.
Thank you, thank you for your hard work.
You are truly welcome.
I appreciate this video. Well said.
Thank you, my dear.
One piece of information I have found is that Testosterone is a schedule 3 drug because it is often abused. Men apparently try to get "high" on testosterone. Estrogen on the other hand is not on the DEA's schedule of controlled & dangerous substances. My husband will turn 60 in January & I will turn 60 in May. That's how I ran across this tidbit of info.
Men would never stand for being denied their precious testosterone. Women have really sold themselves short.
Dr 😇,, I met you right on time and I ain't going anywhere when it comes to learning about menopause.
Most women are ashamed me...
I welcome it ☺
My Mother never spoke about it but with my friends
I asked them questions and I realized that they are NOT taking the correct vitamins and they do not know anything about it CRAZZZZY🥵🤯
I have a friend she is 59 years and been in menopause since 2012
She is sweating like a
RAIN STORM 🌧 with
LIGHTNING and MISERY
I told her go to your Dr
but she is not listening
I am very happy to be
here learning and I enjoy
Your humor 🤣 😁😄
Thank you for all your knowledge 🙏
I am so proud of you, my dear. Keep watching my videos, learning all you can, and offering this education to your friends. Some will actually glom onto it. And if they do, it will be YOU who has saved their lives.
Thank you for all the brilliant & informative menopause educational talks, I have learned so much, xxx
You are so very welcome. Barbara. I just love giving you this education. I think it's what all women deserve. And my dream is for all women to get it in their 20s & 30s.
Thank you for sharing this vital knowledge ❤
You are so very welcome, my dear.
Thank you for caring ❤
You are so welcome, my dear.
That is the TRUTH! I’m aware now , thanks to you!
You can always count on me to tell you the whole truth and the whole story.
My mother spoke nothing about puberty and the changes that my body would go through nor menopause.
This is very sad. Unfortunately, my own sister wouldn't listen because she thinks I'm listening to someone who is going against good medical practice.
That's funny. I'm a fully-licensed, board-certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist.
I Speak Spanish also, so every time I have a chance I talk about menopause to my community..
This is so wonderful. I love knowing that you are doing your part to save other women's lives. I'm working on getting my resources translated into other languages. (But it's not easy!)
I love the way you dress up for this video, btw.
Well, thank you, my dear. I wear my regular everyday clothing for all these videos (except the ones where I am in costume or a T-shirt).
Thank you ! I’m am so glad I found you as I thought I was loosing my marbles. I am now on hrt. Just fine tuning the amounts. What I truly don’t understand is the instructions of going off everything for a 5 day period. Which has plunged me into a major PMS like hell. The 7 dwarfs have come knocking. Can anyone explain to me the why of stopping all hrt for 5 days then to start up. I know it’s to imitate a ‘cycle’ but I’m 51 with no uterus. I would rather just stay on my hrt to protect my bones, arteries and brain.
Jules,
You meed a consultation with me. Please schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME. You do not have to suffer the way you are suffering now.
The only way to get the menopause education you deserve from these videos is to start with video 1 and watch them all in order. The shortcut to doing that is a consultation, in which I'll give you a review of the whole education, tailor all the facts specifically to YOU, and help you choose your best options. Then you can watch the videos in order at a more leisurely pace.
@@MenopauseTaylor good morning and Happy New Year. I found you through watching Dominque about 6 months ago. I have tried to watch all your videos in order- more or less. Hence why I talked to my Naturopath about my menopause issues. He has been great ! No patting on the head. So far everything he has me on is working great I plan to be on hrt for the rest of my life . Will set up with you soon
@@juleszimmer1210 I look forward to meeting you and helping you, my dear.
Just come over here to start this series and its off to a great start! My life is very much based around menopause too! I think you would like my channel hopefully as much as I like yours as we seem to have a lot in common! Looking forward to the next video :)
I agree, my dear.
Very wise video. I think that women don't speak about menopause essentially because they don't have enough education about the subject and because it's really a taboo, it's the end of the reproductive period of our lives and women are still objectify with motherhood role in society! it's also identifying with ageing,... I agree with you, if were men who had to pass thorugh it there were testosterone machines in every corner ;). We still live in a men world. Thanks for your Work. Let's try, each one of us, to make step by step changes to live in a more authentic world. Bless.
Yes happily programmed so I water mustard seeds when I see the opportunity
You're a real blessing to women if they just pay attention
What a nice comment.
Such wise words.
Let’s see...my mother never mentioned the word menopause while she had (still has) terrible hot flashes. Mom did not talk about periods either.
I’ve tried to talk to her (she’s 86), over the phone, about menopause and she changes the subject.
If doctors are ever required to be fully educated on menopause, where will they get that education? From WHI or from the truthful Dr. Taylor?
Even the menopause specialists I’ve dealt with do not know the truth.
I love ya, ya look beautiful and I look forward to chatting once I get all my labs. XO~Maria
You really get it, my dear Maria. I think of you as one of my strongest supporters. And one day, when I'm standing on the top of "Menopause Revolution Hill," I know you'll be right up there with me.
@@MenopauseTaylor I see me holding up a torch!
So true!
Love your outfit ❤️💃
Well, thank you, my dear.
hi barbie, I have a question. I'm 52 years old and wanted to know, how do I know and test to see what level of menopause I'm in to see how to get the proper hrt treatment I will be needing?
Dr Taylor are you familiar with tibolone as an HRT? I haven't seen any mention of it in your videos and I'm wondering what your thoughts are. Since it's not "actually" hormones
I have mentioned it ... way back in videos 34 and 35, and in some of the osteoporosis videos (196 - 231). I would guess you aren't watching my videos in order.
I am very familiar with it. If you would like me to assess it as an option FOR YOU, please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME
@@MenopauseTaylor I found them! Thank you 😊
Thank you 💕🌟🌟!!
It's my pleasure!
I think I had ten adverts in this episode... what's happening? One or two ok in one episode but 10 is too much
Really? This is the first time anyone has ever told me anything of the sort. I'll check into it.
Can you take HRT if you are on other medication, ie anti depressants?
I'm angry that I can't take get because of having a grade 1 breast cancer 9 years ago !
Valerie,
You should schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will make sure you really know ALL your options. It sounds like you're getting short changed.
My mother never told me I'd have a period. Lol Shhh! Catholic girls don't need to have that information.
Unfortunately, this is not uncommon. I'm trying to change all that.
🙌❤
I emailed you and didn't get a response yet. I need a 15 min consultation but could not find where to sign up. I've already had an hour consult. Thank you
Vicky,
My email address is no longer functional. For all consultation matters, please go to MenopauseTaylor.ME. I offer 30-minute, 1-hour, 2-hour, and 3-hour consultations only. The 15-minute consultations were never sufficient.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you!
@@vickiewells2761 I look forward to seeing you again, my dear.
😁😁😁
You seem nice but your affect seems a bit dated. Personally I have been in menopause a year and do have symptoms. But I still feel young and relate to a more modern aesthetic. You are not giving off that vibe. And your piano music seems dated. Sorry to be a bummer.
Sorry to disappoint you.
