Before I ever started watching your videos, I started researching information on the WHI study and most everything I read stated the “how and why” this study was so flawed. I ignored all the FALSE information on how bad HRT is for women and went to straight to the NAMS website to find an educated doctor in my area on menopause. Taking HRT was a game changer for me. I no longer had the hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and sleepless nights. It wasn’t until I started watching your videos that I was educated on estrogen effects your heart and brain. Thank you for that Dr. Taylor and for dedicated passion to educate women on menopause. I am a registered & licensed Radiologic Technologist and Mammographer, a part of my job is to ask any patient before they have a mammogram done is if they are on HRT. The reason for asking this question is because HRT can increase breast density, at least that is what I have been told and read in my studies. I wonder if you have any insight on this? It also amazes me that most every time (99%) I ask a patient if they are on HRT, their response is a hard “No” or “NEVER”. For those few patients I come across with an open mind and seeking education on menopause, I write down your name and website and they are so grateful and so am I for all you do.
I have insight on everything pertaining to menopause, my dear, including all the issues of dense breasts. I will be presenting all of that to you in the unit on breast cancer, which begins on May 30, 2023. (I am always at least 2 years ahead on creating these videos.) The breast cancer unit consists of 55 videos!
Thank you for mentioning NAMS. I had never heard of this before and looked up a doctor in my area. Thank you! My GP's first inclination was to put me on anti-depressants and reluctantly prescribed HRT but I think the estrogen dose is too low to be helping with anything but the hot flashes. 😠
Hi Dr.Taylor, I just finished reading "Oestrogen Matters" yesterday, I read it in 2 days, it was such an empowering and eye-opening book! I wish there was some sort of podcast or video with Dr. Avrum Bluming, Dr. Jonathan Baum, Dr. Robert Langer and yourself talking about where the WHI went wrong and a follow-up on any newer studies (although I remember hearing that since the WHI there is hardly any new funding for HRT anymore). What a podcast/youtube video that would be! Do you think you could make it happen someday?
This information on the study irks me. I’m so glad my doctor started me on HRT when I was mid 40’s. I’m now 56 and glad so far I’ve done things right to keep myself healthy and strong.
On my couch ready to attend the next class of Menopause University. I have the book Estrogen Matters and yes, I totally agree it pissed me off how pathetic the WHI study was. I actively promote your book, Dr Jen Gunter's books, and Estrogen Matters book to women on the FB hysterectomy board I am on. Even Dr Gunter calls WHI study a disaster! It's amazed how much was spent and they got results that are far below the education and skill level of the researchers. I went 10 weeks between surgery and getting Estrogen replacement. I was a mess, a total disaster mentally and physically...yes, memory was mushy... PS: Very nice outfit you're wearing today for class.
@@MenopauseTaylor I started HRT on Wednesday. I'm 57, non smoker, non drinker, don't use recreational drugs, generally in good health except hypothyroid. I decided to go with Estradiol 0.05 patch. In addition my gyn gave me a script for the vaginal tablets - Estradiol Vaginal 10mcg until the dryness goes away. Thank you again for being very informative! P.S. I'm reading your book - I'm on page 212 😊
Thanks again for another eye opening video. Dr. Taylor, you truly are one in a million. It makes me wonder... were there no women scientist who took HRT on the WHI study panel? Yes, a lie and the damage is ongoing. Thank God for a doctor like you!!!
Thank you Dr. Barbie. I feel so empowered with all the knowledge you have been teaching us. I have your book and almost done reading it. I just ordered Estrogen Matters and can’t wait read it.!!! Blessings 🙏💕
You are going to be so happy you got this education! It will help you for the rest of your life. And I'm honored to be a part of it. I applaud you, my dear.
An IMS video was just released on UA-cam had an investigator from the WHI study. He spoke about the actual findings of the study, things the study did wrong and how the journal that published the study, and the media in general, used flawed reporting to attack the study's findings and MHT in general.
Who else thinks insurance companies were behind the WHI results to scare women away from Hormone therapy- the best selling drug in America then. It happened to me too and this Doctor has opened my eyes. I hope to help steer my daughter with this information.
Wow, Dr. B. The best thing that happened to me during Corona was finding and watching every single one of your videos, in order ;) The thing I worry about now is the 7 years when I was menopausal...and not yet on HRT since I knew nothing about the subject.
So many women have used COVID to get this education. I think that's very good us of the time. I'm so glad you are getting the menopause education you deserve.
It's truly appalling to see "scientists" subvert the scientific process. Funding and ego seem to be big culprits. I'm so much more suspicious of studies now. I love to follow current research and technology but the integrity of the field is failing. My hope is in the next generation to correct the course.
Scientific research is just like everything else in life: There's some honesty and some dishonesty. The key is to recognize which is which. That's why I present everything to you. I give you the whole truth and the whole story. What you do with it is entirely up to you.
i just started the Estradot patch and was surprised to see a warning about the WHI study. i thought that this was common and accepted knowledge that the study was HUGELY flawed and not to be trusted. but here we are in 2022 with that warning still on the label. i just don't understand
Fear is the MOST POWERFUL emotion on earth. When fear enters the picture, everything becomes completely illogical, and the fear runs the show. The WHI is the only study that has been treated like it's the bible, when, in fact, it was the worst and most flawed study ever.
How do we get insurance companies to pay for female hormones? They pay for viagra and testosterone for men. They should pay for estrogen and progesterone for women just the same.
Wait! Is this the only study that endorsed the idea of taking as little estrogen as possible for the shortest period possible. I hear that everywhere and it just doesn't make sense 🤔🙄 Thank you Dr Barbie 💚💚 for being TRUELY in our corner 💞
Exactly! One of the things I tach you is that the truth makes sense. So when you encounter something completely illogical, you are able to recognize it. You are a very good student, my dear.

@@MenopauseTaylor I don't think I have bad information. I think I was stuck on the word "continuous" A quote in this jpurnal this article helped clarify it: "Forty-one patients were identified, using an estrogen patch ranging from 25 to 100 μg twice weekly and vaginal prometrium either continuously 3-5 days weekly (36 patients), or sequentially 12 days/month (5 patients). ..." See In my mind, continuously had to mean EVERY SINGLE DAY but it can also be inermittent (3-5 days a week)
