Keto diet and intermittent fasting made a HUGE difference in my menopause management and my overall health (and my husband's as well) I am talking about better blood test results on every single aspect, more energy more focus and better health altogether. I have never felt and functioned that good even when I was a vegetarian in my twenties.
Still, I find your tutorials on menopause management very useful and informative, and thank you! But as you frequently say this is my way and works well *for me* 😉
Each woman has to discover how to best manage HER menopause HER way. Comparing yourself to someone else or assuming that we should all be doing the same things are the biggest mistakes of all.
@@MenopauseTaylor , 10-22-2022 you just answered my email and said the same as this comment😊
That was my lifestyle for 2 years and it worked great for me as well. Moderate protein, high vegetables, mostly organic, a small amount of berries, and nuts but I missed my favorite fruits.
I agree. I’m ketovore and never healthier. High animal fats, no seed oils. We are all so different.
@@KetovoreAnita Exactly. The only opinion that matters is your BODY'S. It won't lie.
Barbie, im a nutritional consultant and you are saying everything that i tell my clients! You are a very wise woman- in so many different areas. You dont cease to amaze!!
You make me so happy! That you for your approval and support. It's really reassuring.
I eliminated animal products 16 years ago. My arthritis disappeared and my eyesight got better! Had to get new contacts. And I eat way more fiber. I eat for nutrients.
Thank you for your great videos. Learning so much!
You are so very welcome, my dear. I always say, "Listen to your body! It does not misguide you."
I love the way you explained whats good to eat versus not good. Really concise. I am vegan too and I feel fantastic! 10 years now. 61 yrs and menopause was easy. Thanks for your pearls of wisdom
I absolutely love you ....have no words to thank you enough for giving me all this information ....for free ! There is so much information in your videos that I have to go over and see them again :):):):)....Thank you so much !
Tina,
You make me so happy to know that what I have to offer is helping you. For me, there's nothing better than making a positive difference in other people's lives.
I really appreciate qualified people who teach and not preach! Thank you for this immensely useful information! Blessings!
You are so welcome. I'll never preach or sell. I'll never tell you what I think you should do. I will empower you to use unbiased knowledge and facts to choose your own best options. I trust and respect the fact that you really do know yourself better than anyone else does.
This is what wisdom knowledge is all about!
Great video! I must confess I belong to the group of that 3% of woman, and yes, it helps a lot! It has improved my quality of life in the past and it continues to do it, specially now that I am a perimenopausal woman. Your tutorials are a great source of information, gynecologists seem to not consider menopause at all... So sad.
Hooray! You're a menopause success already, and you're not even fully there yet. I'm in the 3% too, so we're sisters. Let's drag a few of our friends along with us.
I'm following you from Portugal and I'm overwhealmed with your wisdom, knowledge and simpathy. Thanks for for the advice and the education in matters so important for us women. I'll be your follower forever.
Oh Gilda,
Thank you so much for following. This material is so important ... for everyone, actually, male and female alike. I love making things understandable for everyone.
I’m hooked and learning so much. Thanks for all you do Doc!♥️😍
Eating at home is the key. I’m watching all your videos in order and I’m loving them.
Love your simple teaching. You’d think this info would be basic knowledge, but so many don’t know. This is so needed.
Exactly! You really get it. This is an education all women deserve, but I'm the only one delivering it in a way that makes it easy for you to understand. Keep watching, my dear.
Oh, and eating at home IS the key!
Thank you! It’s amazing that in 14 episodes I already feel so empowered to make my choices, my way!
You see how much more beneficial it is to watch in order, don't you! I'm smiling.
Hi there! This was a great chat. I am 56, married Ali most 30 years no kids by choice & vegan for 18 years.I have worked out since I was 16 and love it! I had no menopause symtoms until recently and my only symptom was vaginal dryness. Never a hot spell, headache… I’m never sick. I did start HRT and my dryness its gone! I’m back in action.🤸♂️Without the pain✨grateful for my lifestyle which has worked for myself and the fact that I learned about HRT recently. I thought something was wrong with me! Had no idea! Have a beautiful weekend! 🐝🐇🐳
Reese,
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. Please schedule one if you'd like to understand everything. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via online video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
I didn't understand your teaching method at first but I get it now. Offbeat is memorable. No white coat needed. Thank you for wanting to help us.
You are so welcome. A "normal" gynecologic surgeon would have bored you to tears in the first minute. I'm not normal, but I am a gynecologic surgeon. So you get the best of both.
I live in Southern California and have an avocado tree in my backyard. Avocados do NOT ripen on the tree. You pick them when they are hard and let them ripen on your counter.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing!
@@lf8238 It's my pleasure!
Oh gosh Pamela stop nit picking 🥑🥑🥑🥑 … Barbie is 99.9% spot on
Thanks for sharing, Pam, we are all looking for truth here.
This was great! I enjoyed you sharing that you are a vegan and that it's ok if we choose not to. I appreciate that because there are so many different ways to eat like keto, paleo, Mediterranean, low carb, vegan, whole 30, etc. Each of course state their way is the best without taking into consideration that each person is created differently. Our microbiome is different and what works for me may not work for you. I truly enjoy your openmindness and explanation that we need to figure out what is best for me.
I lost the majority of my menopausal weight gain doing intermittent fasting and a keto-ish/low-carb way of eating.
I wonder what your thoughts are on intermittent fasting?
I read some of your comments about it throughout the comments but there are a lot of comments here.
I have started changing my intermittent fasting about a week ago because I started noticing weight gain. My weight gain is also due to my vaginal vault prolapse and my inactivity because it is uncomfortable and hurts when I am active. I need to have the operation to fix it permanently but until then, I got a pessary after my urogynocologist measured me. I have not tried it yet. I bought it online....
Enjoying these videos. You are such a pleasure to learn from.
Thank you Menopause Barbie. 😘
As I watched this video it was like little bulbs of light going off in my head! Since hitting menopause I have noticed things I could eat before now make me feel like my body is in slow motion. Time to up my raw veg and fruit... and ditch the processed foods! Thank you!!
I'm so glad this made sense to you. And I'm doubly glad that it's going to make a huge difference in how you eat. You will really notice a difference.
Thank you once again. I was ill for several years, a version of CFS, but more severe. I'm well and on my feet 13 years, I completely changed my food choices, and began walking up to five miles a day. Added, probiotic's and basic supplements. Thank you Dr. Barbie for reinforcing a clean eating lifestyle. You're the best!
I'm so glad to know that you're not suffering from chronic fatigue still. I think you made things better yourself. And you realize that your diet and lifestyle had (and still have) a lot to do with that. Congratulations.
Thank you Dr. Barbie, it was a real journey, and moving forward still (for all of us) bump's in the road, so I am thankful you are here now with your sound guidance for all women. xo
Cindy Brown I
Mr. Wonderful is doing a great job filming again! Great video!
Why oh why are there not more GYN's like you - maybe time for me to go look for another Dr who will listen - great video series, informative & fun.
Maggie,
I'm an odd ball ... always have been, always will be. I look at the "normal" way of doing things (in medicine, in teaching, and in life) and have concluded that most of what people do doesn't work very well. So I've always devised different ways of doing things that work better. No one can accuse me of being a conformist. My former patients have a terrible time finding a physician. They say I "spoiled" them. Many of them still consult me for explanations about everything they go through.
Know that you deserve better, but that the norm doesn't give you what you deserve. But you have me, and I'll do everything I can to help you from afar.
I needed this today!! I do all of the 4 things you listed except for staying at a healthy maintained weight. It vacillates up and down. I eat ovo pescatarian. No dairy, no other meats. Lived in Bella Italia for years. Lovvvvveeee a crudités like no one else....but....always with olive oil to dip and red wine and friends. The red wine demo you did SLAPPED me in the forehead... no wonder I’ve gained 15 lbs this year. No estrogen, covid closed gym, shop and yard workouts and spinning at home and doing video tabatas and emoms not exactly the same but getting better, and wine every night. I moved to sunny Temecula California last year from Denver. My house is in Temecula WINE COUNTRY. I moved to a Vinyard property. Getting very real watching this.
I am jus so thrilled that you are going about getting this education the right way and watching all the videos in order. You are connecting the dots like crazy. I applaud you, my dear.
Barbie darling, you are a god sent. Thank you so much for taking the trouble of making us aware of causes and options. I find, despite brain fog, I can easily remember your teachings because of your ingenious props. God bless you. Xxxxxxxxx
Hideh,
You are so welcome. I absolutely love making these videos for you. And I have loads of fun making the props, too. Sometimes, I laugh out loud while I'm making them.
I think this video not only helps menopausal women but should be a good "rule of thumb" for everyone..thank you again for educating or reminding us what we should be doing to enhance our lifestyle..
I agree. So much of what I teach in my videos is really just general health. I have viewers who are only 18 or 19, and they love this stuff. If everyone watched them, our whole population would be a lot better off from a health standpoint.
This doctor is amazing. I am just starting to go through Perimenopause and am getting a ton of info from this doctor. I spoke to my regular doctor and she was clueless about everything that this doctor talks about
You will discover that, despite the fact that half the entire world's population will spend half of their lives in the state of menopause ... it is STILL the most neglected topic on earth!
That's why I make these videos and do everything I canto give you the education you deserve.
If you watch all my videos in order, starting with eh very first one, you will understand everything. And if you wasn't me to personalize everything specifically to YOU, just go to MenopauseTaylor.ME and schedule a one-on-one consultation. I'll teach you haw to work with your doctor to get whatever you want.
@chubbsy10 they work for big pharmakeia
I’ve recently turned veggie…. I eat 1 meal a day. I’m super malnourished and over weight so I’ve ordered some vitamins. Taking your information on board too and going to introduce a small breakfast and lunch. Thank you guru
I'll help you with all of this if you ever have a consultation with me.
Thanks really. I"m 51, fast approaching perimenopause (you see, now I know) and everything is now more understandable. God bless you and have a wonderful life.
Gilda,
I'm so proud of you! Isn't it great to really understand what's going on in your body? Now you won't mistake your symptoms of peri-menopause for something else.
I love you -you're awesome. I was Vegan and Vegetarian for years. I am now a "recovering" Vegetarian...lol . Thank you for this video -very helpful !!!
I like that: "Recovering Vegetarian." Vegan and vegetarian diets are certainly not for everyone. And some people can try them for a while, but then need to "recover." It's good to experiment like that.
I loved it -and was veg head for many years. It was time for me to give up for a multitude of reasons.
I'm a new subscriber . I have been vegan since age 17 . I'm 55 now . I had a hard time when I turned 50 ( was still having regular periods every three weeks ). Out of the blue a dr told me to have a Ultra Sound , when the results came back it showed a ovarian cyst , the transvaginal US showed this was most probably hormone related and not cancerous. Well, instead of just removing the cyst, they took out the whole left ovary which then caused my FSH to go from 7.2 to over 100 in a month and my periods stopped for over a year . It was so bad I was put on disability for 4 months . After my periods came back ( which I never thought would happen ) I ended up having them for another year and a half until they stopped. I'm upset because I was told that when you have a ovary removed , it causes a earlier menopause then normal . I really wanted to know the correct age that I would stop . Also the emotional stuff this menopause has caused is beyond repair. The wild rages I went through , the depression, I lost jobs, my fiancée of 7 years . None of this I can get back. Now I'm pretty much dealing with the worse depression ever since losing my fiancée and job. I've never smoked, drank or anything . I drink a kale and spinach smoothie for breakfast and will not and have not touched meat or dairy for at least 38 years . I did not know after raising my kids and taking such good care of them that I was going to end up like this feeling hopeless and depressed . I cannot take meds As I have bad reactions to everything so I'm left to wonder if this is how I'm going to feel forever . I'm glad I found your channel . Thank you !
Stacy,
I'm here to help you make the rest of your life the best of your life. No matter how we enter menopause, we have the power to manage it in a way that works for us. You have many options. Please, please, watch my videos in order. If you do, I can assure you that I'll teach you everything you need in order to make great management choices for yourself. I really want to see things turn around for you, and I'll do whatever I can to help.
I'm very proud of your vegan lifestyle. I've been vegan since I was 16 (and I'll be 58 in two weeks). I think that once choice has the greatest impact of all on your health. Please don't give up.
What is fsh please? And how are you now? Did you start hormone replacement? I hope you’re doing better
I have watched all of your videos and have shared them with all my friends because your videos are fantastic! I am addicted to your videos. I love them and have learnt so much from you. Thank-you Menopause Barbie!
You're so welcome. If you and your friends watch and learn at the same time, you'll be shocked at the conversations you'll be able to have with REAL knowledge. And you'll be even more shocked when you try to have a meaningful conversation with a friend who isn't watching these videos!
I cook all my meals from scratch genius you are brilliant xx
Nutrition has been a lifestyle choice for me for a very long time. Thank you for all this guidance in helping women everywhere make the right.food adjustments for them. You probably don't realize how much this education has helped me learn how to use food for my current needs. It's hot today and my heat sensitive baby pit bull enjoyed coconut milk ice cubes. Yes I take nutrition seriously and have fun with it.
I can tell you have fun with lots of things, my dear.
For me learning how to eat for thyroid support has been extremely beneficial and recently I made some adjustments for insulin support. Its amazing how the right food choices can do so much help people.
Excellent info Dr. Taylor! I have learned to live by the 80/20 rule - do good 80% and you can "indulge" in the 20%.....life is too short, so you have to find your balance whatever that may be for YOU! Thank you! :)
That's a good rule. The goal is to manage YOUR menopause YOUR way.
I'm post menopausal, Dr. says, I thought I was going wacky, Thank you. I'm still wacky but I'm embracing it.
You're not wacky, except in a good way. I can tell you have a great sense of humor. These videos will really help you make your menopause easy. I like a little wackiness.
thank you so much for the wonderful information. This ALL makes so much sense.
Yippy! And it's not difficult to accomplish some of the good habits, is it!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.
It's my pleasure, truly. Actually it's my passion.
Thank you for all the info! It's a blessing to hear from someone who really knows what they are speaking about.😘
Ahh, thank you, Sandra.
Barbie, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for teaching me all of this information. It means the world to me. I love watching your videos - I find them fascinating and you are such a very wonderful lady! 💕
You are so very welcome, my dear. I just love giving you this education. Its' what you deserve.
I love your videos, very clever, funny and informative...many things I already knew but you have provided me with extra information that is new to me. Thank you.
You are so honest and direct, thank you so much for all your time dedicated to teach us!!!
You are very welcome, I don[t know how to be anything other than honest and direct. I guess you could say I have no filter between my brain and my mouth!
Love you Barbie, you are working for the greater good xxx
Thanks for the feedback, Barbie. I do not know if I like the videos content and your fun loving nature is the bonus. Or if I love your fun loving nature and the content is the bonus!
That's sweet. As long as they work for you, I'll settle for either.
Yes! Another wonderful video! Educational and fun to watch! Thank Dr. M.Barbie! You are the best!
And I think the same about you.
This is my first comment in your series, which I am happily binging! You are really a fun personality and good teacher... I am so impressed with all of the work and prep you’ve put into these videos. I know what it takes because I’ve worked in video production, so real kudos to ya! I’m experimenting with diet and supplements now, to maintain better balance. My cholesterol was never high, but it is now.... Belly fat hit hard about 3 years ago, and losing weight is much harder. Looking very much forward to viewing the rest of your tutorials. Glad I found you! Xoxo
Thank you so much for commenting, Rebecca.
Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. And you'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that you now do know.
Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know.
I respond to all comments here on UA-cam daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!)
And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time.
@@MenopauseTaylor It is a great training program, and your comments are spot on. I am watching from the first video, and enjoying getting to know you. I like you! I have one question now, but not exactly related to health. How do you manage to move every year? I mean, that's a lot of activity unless you and George have everything pared down and rent furnished apartments? What created that desire? I'm curious... maybe you do answer this later on in the series, so just know I'll watch if that's the case. Thanks for answering and caring so much!
Hi I've been watching your program recently and have found your information really good to understand menopause. Thank you for sharing the information.
You can break it down so well, and yet it's things I already know. I have gained 35 pounds in the past year and I'm fed up. I am miserable. I will have go go back to your day one and listen to all of them. Help
Julie,
Please watch them in order. You'll be so glad you did. And do it now because I have a syllabus of over 150 of these videos. If you watch them in order, you won't miss a beat, and I can guarantee I'll make everything a whole lot easier for you.
I love this message. I've changed my diet before. I am a bodybuilder, figure competitor who is struggling with the menopause symptoms. I have cut a box and prepared foods, high carbs. I stick to chicken turkey and fish. Looking forward to your next video.
Lydia,
You'll learn all sorts of helpful things from my videos. Keep watching!
So beautiful you are and your heart is so full of light! Thank you! I cant believe im saying this. I feel 20 I'm 45 and still somewhere deep in my soul would love to meet my soulmate and have a little one but looks like I'm closer to the other side! Ahhhhh!!! Found you today on hot and flashy's channel not cuz I feel I'm goin through any of this but only because I know it will come and the info out there isnt good, lol. Happy I found you. Thanks, Angie and thank you! So vibrant you are.
Carolina,
Welcome to "Menopause University."
You'll find that if you start with the very first video and watch them all in order, you understand absolutely everything. And if you ever need my personal help in tailoring all the information specifically to YOU, don't hesitate to schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
So glad to have found you before menopause found me. Feel so well armed and prepared. Thanks to you. ..lovely angel😘
Ira,
I am so glad you'r here. You are going about this the right way. If you watch all my videos in order, starting with Video 1, you will know and understand absolutely everything. DO NOT JUMP AROUND IN THE ORER. And if you ever need my help in tailoring all the fact specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Thanks Dr. Barbie!!! Very informative.... Appreciate it... Have a great week.
You're so welcome. And a lovely week to you, too.
You are amazing...thank you for all the valuable info we so desperately need!
You are so very welcome, my dear.
This was very triggering as a mother of a daughter with anorexia. I know my needs are different than hers but so much of what you said directly contradicts the things we’ve been trying to teach her in nutrition therapy.
OMG this was fantastic, I was at a nutrionist today and I agree with everything you are saying. I wish I was a vegan but I guess it's never too late. I love your weight is propotional to how much you eat out , EVERYTHING you said is sooooo true Thank you x
It all makes sense, doesn't it. I can tell that light bulbs are going off for you.
lorraine stop with the veganism already. Read Lierre Keith, “The Vegetarian Myth’. For MILLENIA human beings have been omnivores. The only thing that would make Dr Taylor’s diet better is if she added clean, grass-fed and finished meat and beautiful raised fish products to it.
You look terrific by the way. Love your hair and the gorgeous necklace too!
Oh, you're so kind, Julia. Would you believe that I spent half my life fighting my hair? It's the story of every girl with natural curls. And the tighter the curls, the greater the fight. I finally gave up about 20 years ago.
I am Keto and love it. I eat meat every day, along with eggs, some fruits and quite a few vegetables. I use cream and eat a little cheese. I never eat processed foods. I feel wonderful. Can I feel healthy without being healthy?
xo~linda
There is nothing that is right or best for everybody. So listening to your body is always good. However, make sure that the "good" is both short-term and long-term. When it comes to your heart, keto is fine (in the long-term) if you do it with plant products, but not so fine if you do it with animal products.
We may be the only animal that consumes dairy after weaning but we are also the only animal that average life span is 80 yrs 😂 So enjoy that cheese.
Thank you so much for your dietary information! I am at risk for heart disease through my genetics and osteoarthritis is coming on more rapidly than I would like. One knee replacement in right knee before my 60th birthday two years ago. I still work and stand on my feet for hours so diet choices are big for me. Keep the videos coming, I so appreciate the knowledge and advice.

Deanna,
I'm so glad you're watching. We'll be covering a lot on heart disease, osteoporosis, and joint pain. You'll relate to so much and learn so much more than you already know. Stay tuned.
+Menopause Barbie I can't wait to her your tutorials on this. I get joint pain :-(
Love you Menopause Barbie ! You make total sense to me. Love your videos and your sense of humor.
I'm so glad you're here! Please just watch these videos in order and I promise you will get the menopause education you deserve.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you Barbie
@@ar-c6667 It will certainly help, and you'll use it as a reference all the time.
This was so helpful. Thank you. I'm loving your series.
I love your name. I'm a shoe freak!
Love your videos, thank you so much. Waiting for the next one tomorrow. It is hard to find good food in the markets mostly here in Canada that is cold and we do not have fresh food.
Oh yes, I know about your seasonal food situation. I lived in Whistler, Canada. I loved it there, but foods were definitely seasonal. Don't worry. You know how a bear goes into hibernation and doesn't eat for months? Well, Mother Nature made it possible for the bear to do that. And Mother Nature also made it possible for you to eat foods on a seasonal basis and still stay healthy. If you have concerns about any deficiencies, just take some supplements as needed.
It would be so helpful to see what you each in a day. Thank you for doing this vide!! Laila
You're welcome, Laila. And I'll plan a video on what I eat, myself, in a day.
Loved this video! Can't wait for the field trip. Be well.
Thank you Janice. We'll have fun.
You’re a doll, love your videos and omg I thank you so so much!!!

I'll stop at nothing to make you laugh while you learn. My goal is for you to learn everything you need to know n a way that makes perfect sense and that you'll never forget. Humor is one of the best ways to do that.I;m so glad you enjoy it.
Thank you so much for all the information. Personally I love intermittent fasting
We enjoyed your French press too! All of your self made demo, fun and effective thank you
You are so welcome, my dear.
Thank you again. I love yr videos Dr Barb. I love your style. x
You make me smile to know that you love watching what I love creating.
Packed with loads of great pearls! Would enjoy hearing what your typical meals/snacks consist of. You are an inspiration with amazing eyes. Your eye lashes are stunning. Can't wait for next video and what adorable outfit you'll have on. I am leaning towards eating less meat. I typically eat chicken and fish but should just drop chicken. What you say about, "do you know really what the chicken ate?" hit home. You really look amazing! God Bless...✌

I'm a real pig! My mom says I'm the biggest pig she's ever seen. She tried to breast feed me, but I was such a pig, she had to breast AND bottle feed me. I've always eaten every two or three hours. I eat everything that doesn't come from an animal: fruit, vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, loads of olive oil, peanut butter, and dark chocolate. Everyone who knows me will tally that I'm ALWAYS eating. I have food in my purse, in my carry-on, in my pockets. Wherever I am, I pull out food and munch away.
Hi Barbie, Thank you for these excellent videos. I'm wondering what your thoughts are about Intermittent Fasting 16:8 for women over 40 in terms of wellness, alleviating menopause symptoms and weight management. Thank you
Awesome information as usual coming from you! Thank you, doctor!
You are so very welcome, my dear.
Barbie, I'm loving these! Great info and you are fun to watch! Great sense of humor. Your eating tips are congruent with my Fairly Fit Female philosophy!
Yeah! We're on the same page, Kay. Thank you for the compliments. I'm so glad you're tuning in.
YOU are such a blessing!
Well, it works both ways. You are my blessing. Thank you so much for using this education to make the rest of your life the best of your life.
Dietary modifications, e.g., reducing alcohol, sugar, and caffeine intake drastically reduced my hotflashes and improved my quality of life. I formerly had upwards of 35 hot flashes per day, fed up with my situation, I did some research and found out there may be a correlation between type 2 diabetes and hot flashes. I tracked my normal diet (and menopause symptoms) for six weeks and then reduced sugar, alcohol, and caffeine intake (below 25 grams of sugar - difficult but it can be done), tracked symptoms again, for six weeks.
The improvement was astounding; by week four/five, my hot flashes were drastically reduced to less than 10 per day. I'm not on hormone therapy, at some point, I'm certain that will change.
You made dietary changes that will improve every aspect of your life and your menopause. But, nutrition cannot compensate for hormones and vice versa. Still, these good dietary habits are a great benefit for everything.
@@MenopauseTaylor You're right, dietary modifications is just a piece of the menopause puzzle. Thank you for such an informative (and game-changing) youtube series! My annual is coming up, and I am very grateful for the information. I'll have a list of questions to ask my physician. Thank you so much! :)
@@RockeyToes This is the education you (and all women) deserve. Just watch all my videos in order, and you'll be shocked at what you didn't know. But you'll see that you have more control at menopause than you've ever had before.
Thank you, Barbie! Very interesting!
Some of this was new to you, wasn't it!
So much great information ... again. Thank you!
Happy to do it.
I have been reading labels for a long time and it really does amaze me what they put in processed foods. You are right about what works as I have really been counting carbs which means I haven’t been consuming as many fibers. I have also not been eating as often because I wasn’t hungry. Of course you have guessed I have put on a small amount of weight so that isn’t working. I am going back to counting calories and paying close attention to more veggies. It really did sound good that you could eat all that good fat and lose weight, but I guess it doesn’t work the same for everybody. I am loving your videos! Thanks 🙏
I always say, "No two women are alike." We all have to find what works for us.
WOW I’m so great full I came a cross your video 🤗🤗. Thankyou so much for all your information on menopause ☺️ I have so much to learn can’t wait to watch more of your videos and share your videos with friends and families. 🥰🥰❤️❤️💕💕
Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." If you start with the very first video and watch them in order, I can assure you that you will understand everything. The worst thing you can do is jump around out of order. You don't know what you don't know. And you'll be shocked and delighted as you understand things for the first time in your life in a manner that enables you to USE the information.
I respond to comments here on UA-cam daily. So I will answer your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order (wink). I'm like you mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!
I watched this three times totally enjoyed it each time
Like a good movie that you want to watch again and again!
Again a wonderful video! Sure wish we could see these more than once a week😜
I'd actually love to do two or three a week. But it's absolutely shocking how much goes into eery single video before we get to the actual shoot. It's putting the information together, running around finding necessary times, making the props, and setting up the "stage" that takes all the time. As you can probably imagine, I do these well ahead of time. I have to.
I'm glad to know you're so eager.
+Menopause Barbie I can imagine! I also wish I could watch you more often, I'm learning so much, and I am seeing it's making a difference in my life. Thank you so much! I hope you get thousands and thousands of subscribers, they will be lucky people :-)
Multiple thousands would be nice, but knowing that I'm helping even one woman is reward enough for me.
wooo hooooo, great information. Thank you thank you.... keep it coming!!!!
Don't worry. I've got a huge syllabus lined up for you. Isn't this fun?
Awesomely awesome info, love love loved it… thanks!!!!
You are so very welcome, my dear!
First, your videos are awesome. Thank you for educating us!!! However, I wanted to add something to this lesson. Lactose-free eating can cause calcium deficiency!! Yoghurt is something most people can eat, even those with lactose intolerance.
Wow! Your videos make me happy ,because I’m learning so much! And you’re funny, you make me laugh ☺️. Thank you.
I love knowing this! Thank you. My goal is to make learning fun.
love this video !! so many good pearls. I follow a paleo diet and do incorporate some frozen vegetables which only list the specific vegetable in the ingredients and nothing else. I know fresh is the #1 way to go but do you think frozen every now and then are okay ? thanks so much for all you informative videos !!!
Cindy, it sounds like you're doing a fabulous job with your diet. Frozen vegetables are absolutely fine once in a while. And just think about what you get we you eat out? Who knows how much of the restaurant food we eat is frozen, or preserved, or whatever. The fact is, we can't control everything. But it's so great that you're so conscientious.
I applaud you.
The longer the shelve life of your food the shorter your life and vise versa ☺
I love this! Perfect, perfect, perfect. I may use it later. Thank you Tara.
So true!
Good point .
Thank you Barbie! I enjoy your informative videos. XO Marilyn in CA
And I enjoy hearing from you, Marilyn. I feel like I know you.
always learn something new from each video thanks Dr.Taylor! What about intermittent fasting for weight loss? So much info contradicting out there.
Let's go back to basics:
Menopause causes your metabolism to slow down ... waaaaay down. That alone causes you to gain weight at menopause.
But that’s not all that happens.
In addition to a slower metabolism, your body distributes fat differently. It packs it on in your midline ... in your abdomen. Even women who are not overweight will tell you that their waist isn’t as small as it used to be. That hourglass figure becomes boxy.
And your fat cells produce a different kind of estrogen, called estrone, that is unhealthy. It increases your risk for heart attack.
So, there are many forces working against that girly figure once you become post-menopausal.
It takes much more to accomplish the same goals ... at a time when you’re more fatigued & more likely to hurt yourself. Just knowing this can make a huge difference in your expectations & approach.
One of the biggest mistakes is dieting. You should eat more frequently not less frequently. And, of course, it’s the perfect time to a cleaner, healthier way of eating.
Your body is very smart. Its goal is survival. So, it adjusts your metabolism to accommodate how often you feed yourself.
If you eat frequently, your body gobbles up the food because it knows it will get fed again soon. That's constitutes a fast metabolism.
If you don't eat frequently, your body holds onto as much as it can as fat because it doesn't know when it will get fed again. That constitutes a slow metabolism.
Fasting makes absolutely no sense at all. All it does is slow down your metabolism. That's the opposite of what you want.
No diet that has a beginning and an end will do any good. The effects will be temporary ... just like the diet itself. The best thing you can do is to adopt eating habits that you can maintain forever.
thank you again! you are so wonderful at explaining everything in detail, and i greatly appreciate your advice and time you spend replying. Wish you were my dr!
Well, I can be your consultant. I do one-on-one consulting. And I really put a lot into the information I give you. As you learn more & need to tailor all your options to your personal situation, know that I'm here to help you. You can schedule a session on my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Barbie, I switched to ketone-based diet about four months ago and feel much better. My digestive processes are much improved, no more GERD, losing weight although my primary motivation is generally better health. It seems they low--carb is the opposite of Cavan, but both can have good results. I think it might be because both approaches severely limit sugar and processed foods. Thoughts?
You are exactly right. Both diets teach you to eat more healthy, less processed foods. And if you do nothing but that, you're on your way to a much healthier lifestyle. You'll find that you "train" your taste buds. If you don't eat sugar, you won't want sugar. If you don't eat fat, you won't want fat. With time, all your choices are "cleaner."
Thanks for watching Linda. I really appreciate it.
Sooo much valuable information! ❤️ thank you!
You are so very welcome, my dear.
THANK YOU SO SOOOOO MUCH FOR ALL THIS INFORMATION IN YOUR VIDEOS.....YOU DO DOING A WONDERFUL AND HELPFUL SERVICE TO ONE HALF OF HUMANITY......THANK U ONCE AGAIN AND BLESS YOU UP AND UP AND UP DR TAYLOR.....🌈👠👠👠👠🌈😝🙏
You are so very welcome, my dear. I absolutely love making sure you get the education you deserve. Keep watching in order, and you will be empowered!
I love you 😍 💗 love how you teach us everything make it simple so we understand it.
Oh, you make me so happy, my dear Eman. That's my goal: to make sure you get the menopause education you deserve, while laughing and learning at the same time. Keep watching.
good information thank you for doing this video.
I'm happy to do this one and all the others. Thank you for watching.
Barbie you are wonderful! Great video thank you
You are so very welcome. Thank you for watching and benefitting. It's truly a pleasure to serve you.
Another great video! Thank you:)
Thank you so much I found this so informative 🤗
Yippee! I love knowing that my videos are serving you well.
We cook vegetables from scratch not from cans, eat a lot of them, and fruits also eat salad a lid of lunches
You're doing things right, my dear.
Well, something doesn’t add up. I am 54, 1 year post-menopausal and for the last 25 years I followed the eat breakfast & every 2 hours pattern and I have gained 50 pounds. I make most of our food from scratch, avoid processed food, and we don’t eat out much. I have a wheat allergy, so that cuts out a lot of foods. I am usually hungry all afternoon and evening even if we have the most beautifully assembled, healthy lunch & dinner. We aren’t vegan, but 2/3-3/4 of our diet is fruit, vegetables, nuts (mostly veg). For several years I have been adding more protein & reducing the starchy carbs but my husband LOVES rice & beans (oh and by the way, he is 5’ 11”, 160 lb). Frankly, no matter what pattern I follow, the weight won’t budge!
There is so much more to weight gain at menopause than you could possibly imagine. If you want help with understanding everything that plays into the picture, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I won't get tp the unit on weight gain in these videos for quite some time because I'm covering all the disease associated with menopause first.
I eat 2 x a day I feel better than snacking all day as your stomach is always digesting. 1-2 meals a day is better for aging
I always say, "Listen to your body." We're all different. The most basic message of this education is to do what's right FOR YOU.
Your videos are getting better and better! Thank you!
Great to know you are vegan. I've been a vegetarian for 30 years and for the past year I've noticed that eating cheese has not been an easy thing...
Remember when I told you that your brain and your body may not agree? The same is true for your brain and your digestive tract. Simply put your dietary needs will change over time. Good for you for paying attention.
As for the videos, it's a learning curve (as is everything else in life)! It's been a real challenging to shoot the videos in foreign countries, different apartments, etc. I’m working on making them even better.
Another fab video. I find hard to believe that people eat so badly.
I stopped eating meat when I was sixteen, then ten years ago went vegan. It works for me. I understand it doesn't for most people.
One thing I was surprised to see was that water bottle. If one drinks from plastic there is no getting away from estrogen mimikers, consuming micro plastics, exposure to all kinds of toxins linked to higher rates of disease not to mention chromosomal abnormalities , developmental problems in children, decreased fertility in men and women. In fact bottled water is les safe than tap water which contain traces of phthalates, mold, microbes, arsenic and thousands of other contaminates.
And too, it's killing marine life.
I cannot stress how terrible plastic is all around. Berkey makes great filters, even for traveling.
Again, wonderful video.
There's no way you can avoid all the dangers this world places before you. People have different priorities as to which ones are most significant for them.
So helpful, thank you!
Love love love all this advice. I feel energised 🙏😊
Good! That's my goal. Keep watching.
Could you possibly do a video on fibroids and uterine polyps? Specifically what is the best treatment for them as far as nutrition, surgery or is it possible that they will shrink on their own? I have had them for years and am really uncomfortable and at a loss about what to do. So far, the doctors either want to give me hormones or take everything out or they just shrug their shoulders. Please help.
I'll be giving you tutorials on this, but not for a very long time. I can tell that you need help now. I am happy to have a private consultation with you, during which I'll teach you everything you need to know. I'll pull out props and models, draw pictures, and do anything else for you to understand this fully. You deserve a complete education and complete peace of mind on this.
If you'd like to have a consultation with me in person or on Skype, just go to my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME. You can schedule it there. I want to help you.
Nice information ...lovely lady
