    Hi Dr. barbie, amazing video, as usual. You are a natural educator! I'd love to share a few things with your viewers that I learned while studying for my certification in whole foods nutrition. The problem with all the "seed"oils (corn, soybean, safflower, canola, grapeseed) is that very high heat is needed to extract the oil from the seed which causes oxidation, which means lots of free radicals. These oils are also very high in omega 6, something that our diets are already very high in. Omega 6 starts inflammation in the body, omega 3 stops inflammation. While sometimes it is important to start inflammation in order to fight diseaese, we already have so so much in our diets, and should be looking to increase omega 3 fats. Oils that are derived from fruit (avocado, coconut and olive) are superior to seed oils in that lower heat levels are used to extract the oils. A final note that i learned which I'd like to share is that it is preferable to avoid all oils whenever possible- there is no fibre in them, they are extremely high in fat and excessively caloric. Any benefit you gain from the oils can be achieved by eating the whole fruit- and then some!

    • @MenopauseTaylor
      @MenopauseTaylor  4 роки тому

      Thank you for this. Your information is correct.
      The big problem with getting Omega 3 is that whenever they are present with Omega 6, the two compete for receptor sites. the Omega 6 is very strong while the Omega 3 is very weeks So, the Omega 6s win and you don't get the benefit of the Omega 3s.
      Omega 3s are sooooo weak that they cannot withstand any processing ... not even putting them into a bottle. SO the only way you ever get Omega 3s is by eating the unadulterated foods that contain them: Egg yolks, chia seeds, nd some fruits.
      With all the food processing that goes on nowadays, ,most people are woefully deficient in Omega 3s. This is very worrisome because your brain needs Omega 3s more than any other nutrient.
      Education is just so wonderful!

    Thank you for the wonderful and very informative lecture!! While it does not change things, I want to clarify a bit on carbohydrates terminology, fully recognizing there is more then one classification. Simple sugar typically means one or two sugar molecule containing sugars ( mono- and disaccharide) such as fructose and lactose. Complex sugars typically means more then 3 sugar molecules string together (starch, cellulose, glycogen, chitin).
    Many simple and complex carbohydrates are naturally occurring. I completely agree that added sugar is what we all have to watch out for. That means that in addition to naturally occurring sugar , more sugar was added during the production process.

Egg roll Total fat=4.5g, saturated fat= 0.5g and trans fat 0g (really??) We know that is not true--it has chicken in it and all purpose shortening in crust, lol. 10 mg of cholesterol, 500 mg sodium (Yes, I have high blood pressure), total carbs 26g, dietary fiber 2g, sugars 5g, sauce is just water and sugar (I don't use it) Fiber rule: 26g/2g=12 not a good ratio, put it back you say--I say but I ate a salad :) Protein 6g. Vitamins/minerals, no category higher than 4%. Well, nice explanation of food labels. Much to consider when buying prepackaged foods, too much--I need a glass of wine :) Love your menopause series--a must watch ladies!!!

      Because the food industry has every way of deceiving you. You might also ask why they don't have to list "added sugars." Or why they can claim 0 grams of trans fat when there are really 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving. (This is one of the reasons the fats don't add up.)

    Hi Dr. Barbie !!! i have been learning so much for you from all your teaching !!! you are a God send for sure !!!
    I have a question, for the past 10 months, I've been experiencing lots of vaginal dryness. At the beginning I thought I had a yest infection because it was itchy, i called my ob and she prescribed monistant. After a few months it became very noticeable ! My libido es extremely low as well. I have never experienced this before. I looked online for remedies for this, and the suggestions are DHEA, and a few herbal supplements like Maca. I've been taking both DHEA 50 mg. and Maca for two months now and so far i haven't noticed any improvement. Sex is not painful yet, but i have a hard time lubricating and when sex is done my vagina burns !
    I am 47 years old and I do take a low dose birth control pill, (viorele). I appreciate your expert opinion !!

    • @MenopauseTaylor
      @MenopauseTaylor  6 років тому

      At menopause, vaginal dryness and itching are an indication that your vagina is shrinking ... literally! The reason is that your vagina depends heavily on estrogen. It wants more than just about any other part of your body.
      What doesn't make sense in your case is that you're on a birth control pill that contains both estrogen and progesterone. And the dosage of estrogen SHOULD be adequate to prevent vaginal dryness and vaginal shrinkage.
      You really need to figure out what's going on. But, it's impossible for me to trouble-shoot it here in this comment box. Ideally, you should schedule a one-on-one consultation with me. I need more information in order to connect all the dots for you and figure out what it will take to alleviate your discomfort.
      If you can, please schedule one. Just go to MenopauseTaylor.ME, choose your time, and give me as much information as you can on the form. . I'll create a personalized document addressing all your concerns, and send it to you at least one day before our session. That way, you'll have time to read it in advance. It's usually 6 - 12 pages long.
      Then, I'll have all sorts of props and models to show you during the consultation, and we'll make great headway. You'll understand everything and have all the options tailored specifically to YOU.
      ]The other thing you can consider is going to your gynecologist's office for a "wet mount." This is when the gynecologist swabs your vagina with a Q-tip, rubs it on a microscopic slide, and looks under the microscope to determine if there is an organism causing your symptoms. Monistat only treats yeast. All vaginal itching is NOT due to yeast. There are multiple other organisms that may be causing your symptoms.
      Right now, you're shooting in the dark, and you deserve so much more.

    I have a question about progesterone and I know this video wasn't about progesterone but I just pulled up your latest video and thought I would ask. If there is a video that you made that addresses this please let me know what video it may be. I read online that an older woman in her 60s who was taking progesterone as part of her HRT had a stroke and her doctor said it was due to the progesterone. Are strokes a side effect of progesterone? Just was curious since I hadn't really heard this before where someone definitely pinpointed strokes in connection to progesterone. I will be turning 60 and have been taking BHRT for about 5 years now and was a little concerned.
