well you did it. you talked me down from the proverbial ledge. Ive been panicking - and I mean panicking- about taking HRT after my total hysterectomy 2 months ago (age 41). Ive been suffering with 15-20 hot flashes per day and I wanted HRT to relieve me of them! My prescription was filled today and after hearing and reading the side effects....its sitting here. Looming. Your video is not only informative but speaks to the rational side, and helps ground the irrational side. thank you.
Kim, I want you to have peace of mind. I want you to manage your menopause with confidence. I can tell that you still have some doubts. PLEASE, consider having a consultant with me to give yourself the opportunity to really apply all the information specifically to you. All you have to do is schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I've seen too many of your videos and have not thanked you enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you for teaching, for sharing and for being brilliant! Not everybody teaches well these things.
I had my one-on-one consultation with Dr Taylor and all I can say is WOW! Firstly, I sent her my history and she detailed everything out for me in a very, very, very (now I sound like her) lengthy email spelling things out for me. Then we had our call to discuss all things. I left the conversation with crystal clear vision of what I am to do with regards to everything. Although I’m too high risk right now for HRT I can work on other things like my weight and cortisol levels. I had a full hysterectomy 17 years ago and never saw a gynecologist since because I didn’t think I had to. My PCP never advised me otherwise. I I can’t wait to go to see how much of this stuff she/he knows and that I need vaginal estrogen in order to keep all those wrinkles inside my vagina. 😜. I will pick the best of the best to see. It will be interesting. Thank you so much Dr. Taylor for all your advice and for your ever-entertaining and informative videos. Bye 🤚
Noel, You are so welcome, and I loved meeting with you. It feels so good to know that you understand everything about your situation and can make confident and wise decisions now. I'll always be here to help you.
Hello, dear Dr. Taylor! I DO appreciate the way your videos compliment each other and am happy to own a precious copy of your book...and more. I got the quiz questions correct because you are a good teacher! ...and tsk, tsk, tsk if you don’t watch the videos in order! LOL!

This is awesome! My GYN said she didn’t want to prescribe me, in addition to the patch, vaginal estrogen for her fear that I would get a blood clot. I had to coax her into it by telling her I would just take it minimally. What’s amazing is that, A- she doesn’t even know that that specific estrogen doesn’t coarse throughout the body, and, B- you only use it twice a week, anyway!!!(after the initial first week, that is.). And C- the vagina needs a lot of estrogen so as not to atrophy! Thanks to you, I was armed with knowledge and information and was able to get her to prescribe it to me, albeit, reluctantly.
You see! Knowledge is everything. I told you that, after having a consultation with me, you will know 90% more than most doctors. And you are discovering that it's true.

Hi Dr. Taylor, My mom died, at 57, from a heart attack that was the result of a blood clot that moved from her leg to her lungs then to her heart. Would this mean I should not do HRT? I'm 49 and my last period was 7/19/2019 and I have Hashimotos as well and I'm FADING fast here! I have one dr that wants me to do HRT with pellets? I'm not sure what those are but I feel like I need some serious help! Any thoughts? I absolutely love your channel, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and great attitude!
Please, please schedule a consultation with. You need one in order to know all the facts, tailor them all to you, and learn how to get whatever you want. Do not settle for assuming you're not eligible for HRT. Go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule.
Melissa, I think you mean "Raynaud's Syndrome." It depends on all the other factors that you have to take into account. That requires tailoring in a consultation. Raynaud's itself is not a blood clotting disorder.
Dr Taylor, thank you so much! I do have a question. If one does not have any other riskfactors for bloodclot and is on a dermal estradiol application (gel), is it necessary to discontinue the hrt when going into major surgery (total hip replacement)? You said that the dermal hrt does not have as high risk for bloodclots as the oral hrt. If the dermal hrt needs to be paused, du you know how long preop and postop? My orthopedic surgeon is not a menopause expert....💕
It depends on the individual person and how long you will be immobile. Blood clots are caused by obesity and immobility. Surgery can cause immobility. So you have to assess each situation individually.
Menopause Taylor Thank you! I‘m not obese or old (46) and I will be out off the bed quickly as possible. I want a hip replacement to get more mobil again not less 😅 I’m the hyperactive type...Will get prophylatic antikoagualtion injections postop. I guess it is not to risky to continue with the dermal HRT. Its surgical menopause since summer 2019. 💕
This OBGYN gave me such an incredibly hard time telling me that neither she or anyone else who is "a responsible licensed" OBGYN will never ever prescribe birth control to someone my age, because of high risk of blood clothing. We argued for a while...so... I still wasn't able to get what you told me to get.... 😞 I need some online pharmacy....
Hi ! Dr.Taylor, I love DHEA 10 mg once a day- I am post menopausal .It keeps me very energetic and is great for overall aging.I had eclampsia 12 years ago when I gave birth to twins( epileptic attack).Am very fine now but had a minor stroke in June this year.Am on bioidentical estrogen and progesterone creams too.Do you think any of these hormones were responsible for the stroke ? Thank you.
This is the kind of thing that warrants a consultation. There is no way I can assess your entire personal situation in a comment box. Please consider scheduling a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME, and I will very carefully assess your situation.
I have Factor V Leiden. I only know this because I was tested after a brother had a clot. I have never had any clot issues and was on birth control pills for many, many years long before I ever knew that I had this generic condition. Am I safe to take HRT? And if I do, is there anything I can do to minimize risk?
This is precisely the kind of thing that warrants a consultation. That way, I can tailor everything specifically to YOU. I cannot do so in a comment box. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor. ME, and they are all via video conferencing.
Hallo Dr Taylor, singe i am on HRT ( 2 years) my Migraine is getting much worser ( from 3-4 attacks to More than 10.a month ) . Is this normal ? I now Surfer so much, That i dont now what is Better : hot flashes of very Bad migraines and tainking too much Triptane ....?
Very informative video, as all your videos are. Made me wonder if I should go see a dr. I’m one of those women who never goes. Haven’t stepped in a doctor’s office in over 15 yrs! I know awful! But I’ve been blessed with good health. However, I started taking biodentical estrogen and progesterone when I turned 61. Been on it since July of last yr. Everything has been great but for the past two weeks have been experiencing pain on the back of my legs which affects my lower back. Started on my left and now both legs. When I seat even if a few seconds my legs start to tingle and I feel like a flurrying up and down my legs. Been taking aspirin for the pain. I hope this is not because of the HRT.
A A You can get biodentical hormone creams on-line. I get mine thru Amazon. Many women do. Of course it’s somewhat of a one size fits all deal because it’s a standard dose but the standard dose works well for me. With a prescription you get a more precise dose. It’s kind of like having your clothes tailor made or buying them at a department store. Every woman has different needs so it depends what your needs are and what works for you as Menopause Barbie always tells us. Hope this helps.
It sounds like you should definitely go to a doctor for (1) A general check-up since you haven't been in such a long time and (2) To address your specific concerns.
Unless women are robots, answering this question requires tailoring to the one and only you. This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. 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.
Hello Dr. Taylor, my understanding is that if you’ve had a pulmonary embolism (as was my case 5 years ago at age 46), one can still take HRT because we have to weigh the potential benefits over risks? While not yet in menopause my doctor will not prescribe HRT due to my history. She says that every conference she goes to they are expressly told to never prescribe to someone who has had a PE. Is this fully accurate? HRT is something I really hoped to explore going forward to feel my best.
I'm wondering if taking micronized progesterone vaginally rather than orally going through metabolic first pass effect would cause an even lower risk of a blood clot? And does the micronized progesterone still go into the system even vaginally and cause some systemic effect?
Blood clot risk is a little lower with vaginal use. But, for most women, the blood clot risk is already so low that it really doesn't make much difference. If you don't have other risks for blood clots, you needn't put a lot of weight on this.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you so much for responding. And so true. It's amazing how the WHI the way it came out in 2003 has instilled so much fear even till this day for so many women. Thank you again for helping so many of us.
@@MenopauseTaylor That is so very true. I deal with it myself and it takes the fun out of my HRT sometimes but I'm working on that because I ain't giving it up.
shannonlynnmomof3 She addresses this in her video series. I highly recommend you watch them in order. She has a chart that lists all the forms of estrogen and the minimum dosage needed, per product, that you need to protect against all of the disease risks associated with menopause.
@@melissaculpepper7663 That is not what I am asking, I know the chart you speak of, I am talking about a serum estradiol level after taking estrogen. I saw someone post on another account that the level in the blood should be above 60 otherwise there is no protection, I am wondering if this is evidence based since the lady is not a doctor.
shannonlynnmomof3 Well, tests are only “snapshots” of your bodies’ chemical composition. This is what Barbra Taylor said to me, directly, concerning that type of test, as well as “hormone panel” tests and various blood serum draws. I would defer to the only expert I’ve come across thus far in my 17 year struggle with menopause and gyn’s lack of understanding: Menopause Taylor! I’m sure she would advise you to set up a consultation with her. I did and loved it! I’ve just scheduled my first “follow-up” consult with her. Since following her advice and learning through her videos, I must say that for the first time in several years, I feel terrific!!!
Can a liver hemangioma be considered a blood clot? I'm 42 y. o. and I do not have menopausal symptoms, but I am deeply grateful for all this valuable information that you provide us and which will be very useful to me when the time comes. I have watched all of your videos so far. Thank you so much Dr. Taylor!
Typically, a liver hemangioma is something that has been present for a log time ... you just weren't aware of it until you had some test that revealed it as an incidental finding. It is not considered a blood clot.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you for your answer, Dr. Taylor. It was indeed discovered after a routine USG, but because it has doubled in size in the last 5 years, my doctor warned me to avoid any estrogen (birth control, etc.). Anyway, I'm here to learn ALL what you'll share with us. Thank you again!
Go to MenopauseTaylor.ME. Here's how a consultation works: 1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone. 2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date. 3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages. 4) I will send you the document by email 72 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth. 5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want in order to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed. 6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use. 7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options. The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request. So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively). I hope to meet you soon!
What should a woman do (4 months without a period - slight but frequent hot flashes) who has slight varicose veins, visible capillaries on her legs (as a 20-year-old girl I took - today I know that powered contraceptive pills - for 14 years) - I had sclerotherapy of the veins of the limbs several times lower .... what can I use so that the situation on the legs does not worsen? ? I am slim and try to live a healthy life.
It is so very critical for you to have tailoring for this. This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. 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.
@@MenopauseTaylor I would love to but I don't speak English. I listen to YOU thanks to the translator and write thanks to the translator :) .... but thank you for your answer and greetings from Poland :)
There are many options, but the differ for different women and different mutations. Please schedule a consultation with me to assess YOUR options. You probably have more than you rule imagine.

Ashu, There is no place for "we" in your menopause management. You have to individualize everything. That's why you need to have a consultation. I assure you that you have many different options in India. The goal is to find what's best FOR YOU.
@@MenopauseTaylor hello dear dr.I want to consult your but dollar 200 is very big deal for me .I want but I can't consult but I start my vallest2mg pill hope this is best for me and as I know you are a friend of every woman so as a friend or as a well-wisher i update you everything
Dr Taylor. What is the difference between HRT and birth control pills? I’m menopausal and taking a low dose of what I thought was HRT (as discussed /determined by gynecologist) but when I get the prescription filled the pharmacy names it birth control pills? I’m confused. I love your videos and purchased your book, wow so much great information that no doctor ever told me!
Birth control pills have higher dosages of hormones than HRT ... and they prevent pregnancy. Depending on your particular situation, birth control pills may be more beneficial than HRT. But it depends on many factors, not just the need for birth control. If you want to address all YOUR particular variables to determine which is best for YOU, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Hi Dr. Taylor! I have been trying to reach you on your site due to a technical issue on your website preventing me from making a consultation appt. with you. Every time I try to schedule an appt. I keep getting a WordPress Debugging message. The site won't let me go further than that. It sends me to this link from Word Press: "wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/." Definitely info for a computer developer, not a layman. This happens repeatedly, when I try to make an appt, fill in my personal information, or anything. I did use your "contact me" to write you about this but am not sure my messages are getting through. I hope you see either this message, or the one I sent on your site. Would love to have an appt!
@@MenopauseTaylor I have been watching every single one in order for a couple of months now and I am almost reaching the latest ones. I have learned SO MUCH! No words can express my gratitude.

Can u belive , in India I m not able to get skin patches of hrt. India which is called the pharmacy of the world. Actually hrt is so unpopular that people don't demand it nd doctors don't prescribe it hence the unavailability. I will have to take oral hrt ( tab premarin) Thanks to God that tablet is available.

Most women know nothing about the real facts. that's why I teach you everything from beginning to end.
Dr. Taylor, do you know if Renards Syndrome increases your chance for blood clots?
Melissa,
I think you mean "Raynaud's Syndrome."
It depends on all the other factors that you have to take into account. That requires tailoring in a consultation. Raynaud's itself is not a blood clotting disorder.
Dr Taylor, thank you so much! I do have a question. If one does not have any other riskfactors for bloodclot and is on a dermal estradiol application (gel), is it necessary to discontinue the hrt when going into major surgery (total hip replacement)? You said that the dermal hrt does not have as high risk for bloodclots as the oral hrt. If the dermal hrt needs to be paused, du you know how long preop and postop? My orthopedic surgeon is not a menopause expert....💕
It depends on the individual person and how long you will be immobile. Blood clots are caused by obesity and immobility. Surgery can cause immobility. So you have to assess each situation individually.
Menopause Taylor Thank you! I‘m not obese or old (46) and I will be out off the bed quickly as possible. I want a hip replacement to get more mobil again not less 😅 I’m the hyperactive type...Will get prophylatic antikoagualtion injections postop. I guess it is not to risky to continue with the dermal HRT. Its surgical menopause since summer 2019. 💕
@@siggisiggimon1345 Assess it with your doctor, please.
Was looking forward to this video, since slight increased risk for Factor V Leiden showed up in my DNA test.
I'm glad it helped you. And if you need personal help, just schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Great information Dr. Barb!
Ah, thank you so much, Nancy.
This OBGYN gave me such an incredibly hard time telling me that neither she or anyone else who is "a responsible licensed" OBGYN will never ever prescribe birth control to someone my age, because of high risk of blood clothing.
We argued for a while...so... I still wasn't able to get what you told me to get.... 😞
I need some online pharmacy....
I'll guide you on this in your next consultation. You can get what you want.
@@MenopauseTaylor Can't wait!
Your doctor is right! Birth control is horrific for any woman, especially older women.
Hi ! Dr.Taylor,
I love DHEA 10 mg once a day- I am post menopausal .It keeps me very energetic and is great for overall aging.I had eclampsia 12 years ago when I gave birth to twins( epileptic attack).Am very fine now but had a minor stroke in June this year.Am on bioidentical estrogen and progesterone creams too.Do you think any of these hormones were responsible for the stroke ?
Thank you.
This is the kind of thing that warrants a consultation. There is no way I can assess your entire personal situation in a comment box. Please consider scheduling a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME, and I will very carefully assess your situation.
I have Factor V Leiden. I only know this because I was tested after a brother had a clot. I have never had any clot issues and was on birth control pills for many, many years long before I ever knew that I had this generic condition. Am I safe to take HRT? And if I do, is there anything I can do to minimize risk?
This is precisely the kind of thing that warrants a consultation. That way, I can tailor everything specifically to YOU. I cannot do so in a comment box.
You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor. ME, and they are all via video conferencing.
Hallo Dr Taylor, singe i am on HRT ( 2 years) my Migraine is getting much worser ( from 3-4 attacks to More than 10.a month ) . Is this normal ? I now Surfer so much, That i dont now what is Better : hot flashes of very Bad migraines and tainking too much Triptane ....?
This is something that would require a consultation in order to assess what's really going on. If you want one, just go to MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Very informative video, as all your videos are. Made me wonder if I should go see a dr. I’m one of those women who never goes. Haven’t stepped in a doctor’s office in over 15 yrs! I know awful! But I’ve been blessed with good health. However, I started taking biodentical estrogen and progesterone when I turned 61. Been on it since July of last yr. Everything has been great but for the past two weeks have been experiencing pain on the back of my legs which affects my lower back. Started on my left and now both legs. When I seat even if a few seconds my legs start to tingle and I feel like a flurrying up and down my legs. Been taking aspirin for the pain. I hope this is not because of the HRT.
Evelyn Pena HOW did you get the bioidentical hormones without a doctor’s prescription?
A A You can get biodentical hormone creams on-line. I get mine thru Amazon. Many women do. Of course it’s somewhat of a one size fits all deal because it’s a standard dose but the standard dose works well for me. With a prescription you get a more precise dose. It’s kind of like having your clothes tailor made or buying them at a department store. Every woman has different needs so it depends what your needs are and what works for you as Menopause Barbie always tells us. Hope this helps.
It sounds like you should definitely go to a doctor for (1) A general check-up since you haven't been in such a long time and (2) To address your specific concerns.
How much of a risk is the patch? Can you please give us stats?
Unless women are robots, answering this question requires tailoring to the one and only you.
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. 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.
Hello Dr. Taylor, my understanding is that if you’ve had a pulmonary embolism (as was my case 5 years ago at age 46), one can still take HRT because we have to weigh the potential benefits over risks? While not yet in menopause my doctor will not prescribe HRT due to my history. She says that every conference she goes to they are expressly told to never prescribe to someone who has had a PE. Is this fully accurate? HRT is something I really hoped to explore going forward to feel my best.
Same situation here.my mom,who became bedridden due to dementia,had a PE
I am also confused over whether I should follow HRT
I'm wondering if taking micronized progesterone vaginally rather than orally going through metabolic first pass effect would cause an even lower risk of a blood clot? And does the micronized progesterone still go into the system even vaginally and cause some systemic effect?
Blood clot risk is a little lower with vaginal use. But, for most women, the blood clot risk is already so low that it really doesn't make much difference. If you don't have other risks for blood clots, you needn't put a lot of weight on this.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you so much for responding. And so true. It's amazing how the WHI the way it came out in 2003 has instilled so much fear even till this day for so many women. Thank you again for helping so many of us.
@@Brooklynlife1000 Fear is a very difficult thing to reverse or erase.
@@MenopauseTaylor That is so very true. I deal with it myself and it takes the fun out of my HRT sometimes but I'm working on that because I ain't giving it up.
Dr. Taylor, when taking HRT am I aiming for a certain estradiol serum level to prevent the diseases associated with menopause and estrogen loss.
shannonlynnmomof3 She addresses this in her video series. I highly recommend you watch them in order. She has a chart that lists all the forms of estrogen and the minimum dosage needed, per product, that you need to protect against all of the disease risks associated with menopause.
@@melissaculpepper7663 That is not what I am asking, I know the chart you speak of, I am talking about a serum estradiol level after taking estrogen. I saw someone post on another account that the level in the blood should be above 60 otherwise there is no protection, I am wondering if this is evidence based since the lady is not a doctor.
shannonlynnmomof3 Well, tests are only “snapshots” of your bodies’ chemical composition. This is what Barbra Taylor said to me, directly, concerning that type of test, as well as “hormone panel” tests and various blood serum draws. I would defer to the only expert I’ve come across thus far in my 17 year struggle with menopause and gyn’s lack of understanding: Menopause Taylor! I’m sure she would advise you to set up a consultation with her. I did and loved it! I’ve just scheduled my first “follow-up” consult with her. Since following her advice and learning through her videos, I must say that for the first time in several years, I feel terrific!!!
@@melissaculpepper7663 Melissa just had my first consult worth its weight in gold! Do you mind me asking which route you took?
This was an important education! I wish i was not allergic to all bio identical progesterone! UGH! Very informative though!
Can a liver hemangioma be considered a blood clot? I'm 42 y. o. and I do not have menopausal symptoms, but I am deeply grateful for all this valuable information that you provide us and which will be very useful to me when the time comes. I have watched all of your videos so far. Thank you so much Dr. Taylor!
Typically, a liver hemangioma is something that has been present for a log time ... you just weren't aware of it until you had some test that revealed it as an incidental finding. It is not considered a blood clot.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you for your answer, Dr. Taylor. It was indeed discovered after a routine USG, but because it has doubled in size in the last 5 years, my doctor warned me to avoid any estrogen (birth control, etc.). Anyway, I'm here to learn ALL what you'll share with us. Thank you again!
@@skyland79 Always tailor all the information you learn here to YOUR personal situation.
Hello Dr. Taylor - how would I go about scheduling a personal consultation with you?
Go to MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Here's how a consultation works:
1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone.
2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date.
3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages.
4) I will send you the document by email 72 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth.
5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want in order to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed.
6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use.
7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options.
The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request.
So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively).
I hope to meet you soon!
Thank you dr Taylor.❤️ I want a consultation with you
What should a woman do (4 months without a period - slight but frequent hot flashes) who has slight varicose veins, visible capillaries on her legs (as a 20-year-old girl I took - today I know that powered contraceptive pills - for 14 years) - I had sclerotherapy of the veins of the limbs several times lower .... what can I use so that the situation on the legs does not worsen? ?

Dr Taylor. What is the difference between HRT and birth control pills? I’m menopausal and taking a low dose of what I thought was HRT (as discussed /determined by gynecologist) but when I get the prescription filled the pharmacy names it birth control pills? I’m confused. I love your videos and purchased your book, wow so much great information that no doctor ever told me!
Birth control pills have higher dosages of hormones than HRT ... and they prevent pregnancy. Depending on your particular situation, birth control pills may be more beneficial than HRT. But it depends on many factors, not just the need for birth control.
If you want to address all YOUR particular variables to determine which is best for YOU, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Hi Dr. Taylor! I have been trying to reach you on your site due to a technical issue on your website preventing me from making a consultation appt. with you. Every time I try to schedule an appt. I keep getting a WordPress Debugging message. The site won't let me go further than that. It sends me to this link from Word Press: "wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/." Definitely info for a computer developer, not a layman. This happens repeatedly, when I try to make an appt, fill in my personal information, or anything. I did use your "contact me" to write you about this but am not sure my messages are getting through. I hope you see either this message, or the one I sent on your site. Would love to have an appt!

Can u belive , in India I m not able to get skin patches of hrt. India which is called the pharmacy of the world. Actually hrt is so unpopular that people don't demand it nd doctors don't prescribe it hence the unavailability. I will have to take oral hrt ( tab premarin) Thanks to God that tablet is available.
Manu women have trouble finding one kind of HRT the another. It should be that way, and hopefully this education will hep change things.
Hello! I am also from India. My endocrinology doctor and gynaecologist refused me HRT citing risks
I intend to schedule a consultation with dr Taylor hope fully
