Oh ffs!!!!! Keep up with the science vogel. All soya is fine apart from isolated protein. Spreading misinformation is ridiculous and shameful. Keep up with the unbiased"scientific research please.
It is very important to only consume ORGANIC soy. Conventional soy is heavily sprayed with glyphosate, which destroys your gut lining. This goes for grains, legumes, nuts and seeds as well. They are sprayed to dry them right before harvesting them. So, make sure to only buy organic!!
Superb !!! Thank you SO much. I’ve done some trainings on food like macrobiotics. It’s wonderful to have a beautiful mix of all what’s good to our body, esp as we age. Again, fantastic to hear all this 💕
You have to be careful with soy as it binds iodine and can slow down your metabolism. The Japanese traditionally eat soy with seaweed, (such as in miso) to boost their iodine levels.
That's fine with me because I lost Weight...and already thin so I can use the calories. ..thank you....I did hear soy not good for you....any more suggestions how I can regain my 20 lbs 🙂🙂
This has been so helpful. Other than palpitations in my stomach I don’t have the normal symptoms. I am vegan and have been for the last 2 yrs. And was a vegetarian for 12 yrs prior to becoming vegan.

Thank you so much for this wonderful video and all that you do!❤️❤️ I wanted to ask you, when you mentioned fermented soy, I know that frozen edamame is not fermented, but could it be included on the list of the soy products that are good for us in perimenopause and menopause?❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (And I do heat up the frozen edamame before I eat it :)
Hi You're welcome! Small amounts of soya are fine but a lot of people find that it is quite hard to digest and can cause bloating. Maybe just have once a week, I know the beans can be eaten fresh but not sure about frozen ones, sorry. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi, loving your work ... I've noticed my joint pains, and stiffness has reduced quite a lot since Summer. I'm walking just as much, the only thing I'm doing different is the fruit ... I was eating lots of berries in summer. I'm still eating veg, but no tomatoes either. Could this just be coincidence? ? I'm vegetarian, and eat nuts, pulses, beans etc xx
Hi Lindsay Tomatoes are a member of the Deadly Nightshade family (as are peppers, potatoes and aubergines); these are notorious for irritating the joints so giving up the tomatoes can certainly make a difference. Eating too many berries could be a factor too as you would be consuming a lot of fruit sugars which can irritate the joints as well.
You never mentioned yams , they helped me a lot. Apples sopose to help to but I don’t find them as good as yams. I just eat them a couple times a week. I choose yam fries anstood of normal potato fries when we go out . I almost never got a hot flash anymore.
Really wonderful Eileen as usual, thank you so much. Is it possible overdose on phytoestrogens if you were eating oestrogen rich foods and take a supplement, like one of the A Vogel ones with phytoestrogens in them? Thanks again : )
You're welcome! You would have to eat really huge amounts of phytoestrogen foods to cause any problems and taking tablets within the daily recommended dose is not usually an issue either. Best Wishes Eileen
Hey! Thanks for all your helpful videos. What's your opinion on supplements with soya? Been on menopace original with soya for about a month now. My joint aches have really reduced... things were so bad. I'm hoping to feel better as I continue.

Hi Eileen Im 51 still have my periods every month for 5- 6 days. A couple of days after I finish, I have a small bleed/spotting for a few days. I have started acupuncture treatment. Do estrogen rich foods and supplements help this? Many thanks
Hi Mel If periods are still regular with spotting afterwards, this can indicate that oestrogen is a little high so the oestrogen supplements wouldn't be recommended. In this situation we would recommend the herb Agnus Castus but I would wait and see how the acupuncture goes first as this can often be really helpful at this point, to help re-balance the hormones.

I dont like to eat any think only water dal soup milk papaya banana no rice no meat. Rice fish smell badly. I cant imagine to drink dal soup every day for two years. I dont like dal in my youth days. Thanks for yr excellent videos it make me calm.
Thankyou so much for the videos. Has helped me tremendously. I developed so much varicose veins during peri menopause 😞 some are bigger then other. What can I do treatment wise? And why did these develop so quick in such short time? Thankyou. X
Hi Justice You're welcome, glad to be of help! You could look at the herb Horse Chestnut as this is traditionally used for varicose veins. Unfortunately, falling oestrogen can weaken the veins resulting in VVs. www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/horse-chestnut-venaforce/
@@AvogelCoUk also try Butchers Broom. I've been taking it for 20 years +. It got rid of a lot of pain that I used to have. It's supposed to contract the veins to push out blood clots. You have to take it every day for a week or two to feel the difference. It has to build up in your system like most herbs.
Bioflavonoids are also helpful for vein issues. It can be hard to find a supplement that has a significant enough amount to help, however I found Swanson do a vitamin C supplement with a good amount of bioflavonoids. Of course diet is important too. You have to target these things from all angles and give it time.
I have not had a cycle in 5 months and was wondering i should increase estrogen foods. I can't get my doctor to test my estrogen and progesterone because she said that it is a wide range. I have heard that you need progesteron when just starting in peri or menopause because estrogen is higher because progesterone falls first??? So confusing. Please help.
Hin If you have a good varied diet with lots of fresh foods these should provide phyto-oestrogens or you could take a natural phyto-oestrogen supplement such as our Menopause Support or Black Cohosh. In some women progesterone call decrease quicker and this often causes heavy or prolonged periods, however, it is really difficult to get natural progesterone supplements so you would need to speak to your doctor about this.

I had full hysterectomy when i was 39 because of endometriosis. No more ovaries. Now i am 69 and i spot( find little light pink blood) in my underwear sometimes after i take long walk with my dog. Other than that, no spotting. Dr said i did not have UTI. So i think that vagjnal dryness cause bleeding when i walk more than 20mn. What kind of cream should i use? I will take digestive and vaginal probiotic and eat food high in estrogen. What is your suggestion? Thank uou. I like you and j like your channel.

Hi Tracy The menopause can affect immune function so it could be a factor. The herb Echinacea is known to help support immune function so you could try this for a few months to see if it can be of benefit. Best Wishes Eileen
Thank you so much. I was feeling horrible two days ago with feeling cold in part of my limbs. When I took two sea moss capsules it helped and later I took two more and boy oh boy heat!! I am feeling better but I will find Echinacea. I went from 500+ platelets in Aug last year I now have 355 or so as of blood work two days ago. So so know it’s my hormones. I cannot get people to help me here. My Nurse she keeps saying I have to not have any form of period before they can help. SMH 🤦🏽♀️ i know that’s not true. But because of such forgetfulness and brain fog I forgot to document last cycle. But it has been a year I just can’t find or remember if I did write it down. I feel so alone and crazy even talking with my nurse. It was the cardiologist I went to in 2020 due to high pulse and B/P as well as irregular heart rhythm starting in 2017 (peri menopause but they kept saying I was too young) anyway the cardiologist thank god she was my age seen nothing wrong and asked my age and said “Oh my girl you’re going thru the change” as a matter of fact every woman at the office who was my age said they knew it was just hormones giving me anxiety, heart rate elevated, heart palpitations etc. they made me feel less crazy. But I still get no help from my nurse. She’s still very young and USA 🇺🇸 they do not focus on menopause like they should. Lastly, what form and brand that is here in good old USA would you recommend me get of Echinacea?

Hi I only grind enough for each time but I do know that you can grind a quantity and then freeze it into portions; this will keep the goodness much better that storing in the fridge.
@@AvogelCoUk Thank you! I'll try that. Makes sense, I keep any kind of flour or meal in the freezer. Especially stuff like almond meal that can go bad quickly. Also prevents those pesky moths.

Hi, thanks. Great to know, however I am very dubious about Soya. I have read and heard in lectures that it is not healthy for women? Possible ovarian cancer cause. Not sure regards the fermented version? Although it maybe more relevant to younger women? Very serious subject for me since loosing my mum to oc.
Hi Sue I don't recommend whole soya foods as they often cause digestive issues and are not often of any benefit. There is plenty of research on the benefits of fermented soya; these food have been used for 100s of years in the Far East with no apparent indication that they cause hormone related cancers.
@@AvogelCoUk thank you so much for responding! :) I'm wondering if fat malabsorbtion can have an impact on the ability to make estrogen? I'm 28 and began premature menopause last year in April, and I noticed that my body stopped being able to process fat, because my stools became very loose and discolored out of nowhere, and they've been that way ever since. It's worse the more fat I eat, so that's why I think it's fat malabsorbtion. My estrogen levels have been on a rapid decrease since April, so that's why I'm wondering if fat malabsorbtion can cause lowered estrogen levels?
Hi DC The majority of menopause symptoms are caused by low oestrogen so this is why we focus on supporting oestrogen levels. In this situation if you take only progesterone, you could make symptoms worse. Very low progesterone can cause severe mental issues such as manic depression, which needs proper medical treatment, so this is not something we can advice on. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi DC The main issue with HRT is that it doesn't stop the menopause but only puts it on hold. It fools the body into thinking there are plenty of hormones (which is great at the time!) so you don't experience symptoms. However, your own hormone production continues to fall. If you need to stop the HRT later on, the sudden loss of hormones can trigger another hormone fall (as your own hormone level will be a lot lower by then) and this can cause menopause symptoms, in some women, all over again. We do realise that for some women HRT is their only option for various reasons but if you can get through the menopause without it, it is usually easier on the body in the long run. Best Wishes Eileen

Hi DC Yes, there is life afterwards but it can take quite a while for the body to learn to adapt with less hormones. This is why it is really important to look after yourself well and the stronger and healthier you are the less likely you are going to get difficult symptoms! Thank you for watching!
Hi Lesley Most of the phyto-oestrogenic compounds are produced as the seeds sprout. I have never sprouted seeds from frozen so I am not sure if this would work as well. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi R B Yes, in a way it is, the better the ratio between oestrogen and progesterone as they both decrease, the less likely you are to get menopause symptoms. Unfortunately, oestrogen levels can go up as well as down and it is this fluctuation that can cause a lot of the symptoms. Phyto-oestrogens are very mild so can help to increase oestrogen if it's low but can also protect oestrogen receptor sites from the stronger oestrogen that can affect symptoms so they are gentle balancers. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Benadatte You are not considered safe from pregnancy until you have gone two years without a period, before that time it is wise to use precautions if you don't wish to risk getting pregnant.

Madama can this diet plan can be given to prememoplose women's. So that they can regenerate their periods back early because my sister still 38 years she has missed the periods as she was regular in periods for each 28 30 days here mother stopped getting periods and reached menopause at the age of 49 but it's to early for her daughter to start. Can this dite be given to my sister
Hi Rekha Yes, your sister could try these foods but I would recommend she sees a fertility expert for best advice. If she wishes to see a natural practitioner then either a herbalist or nutritional therapist would be good idea and acupuncture can often be of benefit too.

A.Vogel UK that‘s exactly what I‘ve been doing every morning and sometimes during the day, since I saw on here that Miso is one of the good estrogen „replacements“. I‘ve been using Mugi Miso, but there is a great macrobiotic online shop in south Germany, and I‘m ordering an Onozaki and Shirokoshi (I believe they are called) miso type as well. I am still suffering with the painful urination and general feeling of having a bladder infection (not constant, very unpredictable). I believe it flared up because I needed to fly back to Canada to family rather spontaneously and the whole 9 hour time difference (and poorer eating habits while there!) really wreaked havoc in my body. So I have decided to try a urologist and see what they have to say about this pain. Also am starting a colon cleanse probio cult and Mutaflor - not sure what they’re called in English. Maybe it will all help.
Hi Karen I have posted a video blog on bladder infections and what you can do to help yourself so please do take a look. www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/common-bladder-problems-and-infections/ PS stress and dehydration is a classic trigger!!
Lovely roses- I’ve heard from OBGYN that plant estrogens are 1000 times weaker than hormone replacement. And if it takes up the receptors then you can’t get the stronger hrt to attach there . Any thoughts ?also they say Japanese women eat tofu every day and have less problems and live longer

Tomatoes are a member of the Deadly Nightshade family (as are peppers, potatoes and aubergines); these are notorious for irritating the joints so giving up the tomatoes can certainly make a difference. Eating too many berries could be a factor too as you would be consuming a lot of fruit sugars which can irritate the joints as well.
@@AvogelCoUk thank you ... that answers a lot
I deffo can see a change xx
@A. Vogel UK.How about preparing vegetables with tomatoes? Should one cook food minus tomatoes?
@C. Bright 😁😁 cutting down on dairy also helped me
Aloe vera is good for joint stiffness and glucosamine sulphate
You never mentioned yams , they helped me a lot. Apples sopose to help to but I don’t find them as good as yams. I just eat them a couple times a week. I choose yam fries anstood of normal potato fries when we go out . I almost never got a hot flash anymore.
Sounds great, we call them sweet potatoes in the UK, so thank you for this helpful tip!

Hello giglegab how was your day today I hope you are save in this pandemic?
Very informative speech.
I really liked it.
Glad you liked it! :)
Really wonderful Eileen as usual, thank you so much. Is it possible overdose on phytoestrogens if you were eating oestrogen rich foods and take a supplement, like one of the A Vogel ones with phytoestrogens in them? Thanks again : )
You're welcome!
You would have to eat really huge amounts of phytoestrogen foods to cause any problems and taking tablets within the daily recommended dose is not usually an issue either.

Water is the most important thing to change in your diet but make sure that you eat plenty of vegetables and good protein such as meat and fish or if you are vegetarian have a small amount of pulses, grains, eggs and a little organic dairy. I have posted a blog on a good diet for the menopause so please do take a look.

Hi Eileen
Im 51 still have my periods every month for 5- 6 days.
A couple of days after I finish, I have a small bleed/spotting for a few days.
I have started acupuncture treatment. Do estrogen rich foods and supplements help this? Many thanks
Hi Mel
If periods are still regular with spotting afterwards, this can indicate that oestrogen is a little high so the oestrogen supplements wouldn't be recommended. In this situation we would recommend the herb Agnus Castus but I would wait and see how the acupuncture goes first as this can often be really helpful at this point, to help re-balance the hormones.

Hi Justice

You could look at the herb Horse Chestnut as this is traditionally used for varicose veins. Unfortunately, falling oestrogen can weaken the veins resulting in VVs.

@@AvogelCoUk also try Butchers Broom. I've been taking it for 20 years +. It got rid of a lot of pain that I used to have. It's supposed to contract the veins to push out blood clots. You have to take it every day for a week or two to feel the difference. It has to build up in your system like most herbs.

Bioflavonoids are also helpful for vein issues. It can be hard to find a supplement that has a significant enough amount to help, however I found Swanson do a vitamin C supplement with a good amount of bioflavonoids. Of course diet is important too. You have to target these things from all angles and give it time.
I have not had a cycle in 5 months and was wondering i should increase estrogen foods. I can't get my doctor to test my estrogen and progesterone because she said that it is a wide range. I have heard that you need progesteron when just starting in peri or menopause because estrogen is higher because progesterone falls first??? So confusing. Please help.
Hin
If you have a good varied diet with lots of fresh foods these should provide phyto-oestrogens or you could take a natural phyto-oestrogen supplement such as our Menopause Support or Black Cohosh.
In some women progesterone call decrease quicker and this often causes heavy or prolonged periods, however, it is really difficult to get natural progesterone supplements so you would need to speak to your doctor about this.

Thank you so much. I was feeling horrible two days ago with feeling cold in part of my limbs. When I took two sea moss capsules it helped and later I took two more and boy oh boy heat!! I am feeling better but I will find Echinacea. I went from 500+ platelets in Aug last year I now have 355 or so as of blood work two days ago. So so know it’s my hormones. I cannot get people to help me here. My Nurse she keeps saying I have to not have any form of period before they can help. SMH 🤦🏽♀️ i know that’s not true. But because of such forgetfulness and brain fog I forgot to document last cycle. But it has been a year I just can’t find or remember if I did write it down. I feel so alone and crazy even talking with my nurse. It was the cardiologist I went to in 2020 due to high pulse and B/P as well as irregular heart rhythm starting in 2017 (peri menopause but they kept saying I was too young) anyway the cardiologist thank god she was my age seen nothing wrong and asked my age and said “Oh my girl you’re going thru the change” as a matter of fact every woman at the office who was my age said they knew it was just hormones giving me anxiety, heart rate elevated, heart palpitations etc. they made me feel less crazy. But I still get no help from my nurse. She’s still very young and USA 🇺🇸 they do not focus on menopause like they should.
Lastly, what form and brand that is here in good old USA would you recommend me get of Echinacea?

@@AvogelCoUk thank you so much for responding! :) I'm wondering if fat malabsorbtion can have an impact on the ability to make estrogen?

It's worse the more fat I eat, so that's why I think it's fat malabsorbtion. My estrogen levels have been on a rapid decrease since April, so that's why I'm wondering if fat malabsorbtion can cause lowered estrogen levels?

What about progesterone? I keep hearing that estrogen is higher and progesterone is what needs to be increased I am so confused
Hi DC
The majority of menopause symptoms are caused by low oestrogen so this is why we focus on supporting oestrogen levels. In this situation if you take only progesterone, you could make symptoms worse. Very low progesterone can cause severe mental issues such as manic depression, which needs proper medical treatment, so this is not something we can advice on.
Best Wishes
Eileen
A.Vogel UK thank you. What are your thoughts on hrt
Hi DC
The main issue with HRT is that it doesn't stop the menopause but only puts it on hold. It fools the body into thinking there are plenty of hormones (which is great at the time!) so you don't experience symptoms. However, your own hormone production continues to fall. If you need to stop the HRT later on, the sudden loss of hormones can trigger another hormone fall (as your own hormone level will be a lot lower by then) and this can cause menopause symptoms, in some women, all over again.
We do realise that for some women HRT is their only option for various reasons but if you can get through the menopause without it, it is usually easier on the body in the long run.

If you freeze the seeds does the estrogen “keep”?
Hi Lesley
Most of the phyto-oestrogenic compounds are produced as the seeds sprout. I have never sprouted seeds from frozen so I am not sure if this would work as well.

I read up on this and am sure it is also about the balance of progesterone and estrogen. ? Am more confused , not difficult lol
Hi R B
Yes, in a way it is, the better the ratio between oestrogen and progesterone as they both decrease, the less likely you are to get menopause symptoms. Unfortunately, oestrogen levels can go up as well as down and it is this fluctuation that can cause a lot of the symptoms.
Phyto-oestrogens are very mild so can help to increase oestrogen if it's low but can also protect oestrogen receptor sites from the stronger oestrogen that can affect symptoms so they are gentle balancers.

Is it ok to eat soya
Hi Nazanin
I tend not to recommend soya foods as they can often cause digestive upset and don't often help. However, a fermented soya supplement such as our Menopause Support may be helpful.
These are the same foods that lower estrogen. I’m confused!
I find my symptoms decrease when I eat red meat, and that's because of the fat in it. Dietary fat increases estrogen, not those phytoestrogen foods.
Tq madam for sharing this information really natural ways to get back the periods regularly. And is their any modern technology medices which regnetate oestrogen to regulate the periods back. Madama can this diet plan can be given to prememoplose women's. So that they can regenerate their periods back early because my sister still 38 years she has missed the periods as she was regular in periods for each 28 30 days here mother stopped getting periods and reached menopause at the age of 49 but it's to early for her daughter to start. Can this dite be given to my sister

Any particular type of miso you recommend? There are so many different types.
Hi Karen
I prefer the dark miso; I often just put a heaped tsp in a cup of hot water and have it as a drink!
A.Vogel UK that‘s exactly what I‘ve been doing every morning and sometimes during the day, since I saw on here that Miso is one of the good estrogen „replacements“. I‘ve been using Mugi Miso, but there is a great macrobiotic online shop in south Germany, and I‘m ordering an Onozaki and Shirokoshi (I believe they are called) miso type as well. I am still suffering with the painful urination and general feeling of having a bladder infection (not constant, very unpredictable). I believe it flared up because I needed to fly back to Canada to family rather spontaneously and the whole 9 hour time difference (and poorer eating habits while there!) really wreaked havoc in my body. So I have decided to try a urologist and see what they have to say about this pain. Also am starting a colon cleanse probio cult and Mutaflor - not sure what they’re called in English. Maybe it will all help.
Hi Karen
I have posted a video blog on bladder infections and what you can do to help yourself so please do take a look. www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/common-bladder-problems-and-infections/
PS stress and dehydration is a classic trigger!!
Lovely roses- I’ve heard from OBGYN that plant estrogens are 1000 times weaker than hormone replacement. And if it takes up the receptors then you can’t get the stronger hrt to attach there . Any thoughts ?also they say Japanese women eat tofu every day and have less problems and live longer
I m only 32. My periods stopped from October 2018. No medicine is working to get back my periods. I m so sad
Hi Nirmali
Have you considered acupuncture, sometimes this can be effective for balancing the hormones?

Since being diagnosed at 51 I’m in the menopause. I have to wait to see a specialist to see which HRT to go on as I have cysts on my liver, my doctor recommended that I can use soya milk which could help with hot flushes until I see my specialist is that right ? Need some advice plz
Hi Lisa
I have never found whole soya foods such as soya milk very helpful but if your doctor has recommended it then you could try it to see if it does anything for you.
A.Vogel UK I have been using the soya milk but no help still hot flushes an severe aching joints keep waking up at least 3/4 times a nite, will wait for a specialist app on 2 feb
@@lisaedwards931 I started using evening primrose oil, for the things you mentioned. Took a couple weeks, but have worked well, for me.
Thanks will give a try
@@lisacheney4763 i love evening primerose oil. It is good for liver and it balances hormones. If make us happy.
What are good foods to eat AFTER menopause?
Hi Britta
You can carry on with the same diet as in the menopause just making sure that you continue to have plenty of protein, healthy fats, lots of fresh veg and a small amount of wholegrains.

Hello Britta how was your day today I hope you are save in this pandemic?
Fenugreek seeds are the most rich in estrogen.
Yes, Diya, there's good research on fenugreek helping with flushes and other menopause symptoms. Thanks for the reminder! :)

Remember SEEDS and dried fruits must be activated!
Hi Cintia
Thank you for the tip!
what does this mean?
@@OlObuffalo it means that due to their anti nutrients it's recommended to activate them (soak them overnight, better if we can change the water) and then rinse them and dried them whether in a dehydrator or a conventional oven at the lowest temperature :)
@@cintiaspataro3205 Thanks, I didn't know if you meant they were to be fermented or blended or something else.
@@OlObuffalo you are most welcome :)
I'm amazed by how much we don't know, as in my case I've been eating nuts and seeds (organic whenever possible) and that hd intoxicated my liver really bad. I was not aware that they need to be activated to eliminate antinutrients...
