It’s finally good to see women talking about this. Last year for me was the worst year of my life because I thought I was in peri menopause but when I found the right doctor I had already went through menopause. I’m only 45 so it was a shock for me. It took a whole year to get me physically, mentally & emotionally whole again. The right doctor is key because my obgyn made me feel like I was going crazy when I knew something was wrong. So if one doctor won’t listen find another one!
Great points! I'm sorry you had to go through that. I SO appreciate you sharing. XO
April Mozuch great advice thank you
I have been dealing with this since I have been 36 and I'm only 40 now. Thanks for sharing :)
I'm 21 now but I was diagnosed with this at 18. I had to do chemo for a cancerous tumor I had and the type of chemo affected my fertility. It was so so so awful to experience. I could never sleep (hot flashes), I was almost always numb or disassociating, and the only true emotion I felt was anger. Thank GOD I was in the position where my doctors were looking for this type of behavior/changes. I eventually got put onto birth control to maintain a normal balance of estrogen in my body. I'm so sorry for everyone out there who has their own battles with this. ❤️
I have found several times that doctors simply do not know a lot about women‘s bodies after menopause. It seems somehow not interesting. So thank you for your interest.
Ugh! I hate that this is true, but often times, it seems to be the case. That's why I love Dr. Anna's work... so much insight and wisdom.
NPR just covered this too. It is like over 50% of us become invisible to the medical establishment once we hit our 40s.

@@tricialovell6544 I had to google F. 🤣
I have been postmenopausal for 8 years, and I am 32-years-old. My doctors are clueless. I went through it alone. I was 25 years old and my VA doctor constantly stated that my case is so "fascinating" my fsh and lh levels are unheard of and off the charts by 100%. I know that doctors think about becoming the first to do this and that, but hearing how "fascinating" it is, while I was suffering, did not receive help or advice, and found out that I was barren really hurt.
I went thru menopause at 42... they were all clueless
Ming Smith I’m so sorry for your suffering
@@tammi67able thank you!
@@evas1968 I agree!
I heard this woman a few years ago that she got menopause at age 65 and she take supplements and take good care of her health. I got menopause at age 53 and never had hot flashes. Just try to eat healthy and avoid sweets. Not taking any medication at age 66. Thank you lovely ladies for this video. God bless you both!
Thanks so much for sharing Suzette :)
@@CleanandDeliciousDani your more than welcome
Suzette Hinton Blessed you, thanks for sharing
@@tammi67able Your welcome. God bless!!
Thank you so much for getting some this out there. Most women pretend it isn’t even happening.
Anytime Gwen! I agree... we need to spread the word.
I’m 44 and have been lightly spotting (prob 4 hours) during my last two ovulations. I’m so nervous. I’m eat super clean and have been exercising since I was super young. I already went through breast cancer at 38, by myself, so this is now making me nervous. My Dr did a culture today, and a blood test. I’m hoping for the best, but could use support. I really appreciate this video right now.
So glad I watched this. I've definitely have been experiencing symptoms and it's an eye opener
So glad it resonated! I learned so much myself!
This is so helpful! Thank you for doing this interview!
Anytime! So glad it was helpful.
Hello Danny, I am Joyce from the Netherlands. Thank you for doing this and sharing all your recipes. I have made some of the recipes and felt super proud because I never baked or cooked before. I always used the steamer because I was always really busy. Now with your recipes I also can cook and bake. Thanks again
Thank you for this video! Peri menopause is awful!
It's my pleasure!
Thank you for doing this interview!!! It was so helpful. I can’t wait to read Dr. Anna’s book!
It was my pleasure!! Thank YOU for watching :)
Hope you enjoy the book!
This was fantastic! I appreciate the information you shared and Dr. Anna Garret’s knowledge. It opened my eyes to things I need to work on to improve my health over perimenopause.
48 and going through it...I have all the symptoms; it's been miserable.
Will definitely stop the alcohol once and for all.
Will be making an appointment for hormone testing, ASAP.
Thank You Ladies!
Thanks alot...
I am in my late 30s....so informative:):)
U r such a blessing..again love the way u talk:):)
Wonderful topic these things need to be talk about more
Agreed!
I found out in October of this year the I am going to menopause. I have gained 20 pounds in 2 yrs and started having a lot of joint pain and night sweats not connecting to dots I suffered for a year. My doctor only really offered drugs as help and I passed on that. Thank you for these videos. I can now start advocating for myself.
Dani, thank you...thank you! This is so helpful and I am so glad we're not hiding this part of our lives...it's natural. We need to communicate and know we are not alone. I've found acupuncture, yoga, and an excellent naturopathic doctor very helpful for perimenopause.
It's my pleasure Nancy + I agree, we need to TALK! Thanks for sharing whats been helpful for you :)
Nancy Harris true
I’d love to help u
Learning so much with this video...thanks a ton. Very helpful.
Yay! SO glad to hear that. XO
I have thought for a couple of years I was perimenopausal, I am 43, but kept being told I was too young. Thank you.
I hear this a lot!
OMG yassss!! I went through the samething!! Doctors would look at me crazy and say you too young. I am 43 as well and started having symptoms around 39.
This is great, so informative. Thank you so much
So glad it was helpful Nadia.
Perfect discussion- I’m 52 and just was declared post menopause- the weight is what I struggle with and your sight keeps me interested in new food plans and I’ve enjoyed changing everything I eat - I feel great but the weight is slow to go !
Kim low sodium diet and walking helped me lost 20 lbs I am almost 50 but no fast food it’s so salty
Stay 1,000 mg or less a day example 1 grilled chick fila sandwich has 1300 mg of salt 😳😩
Kim oh I feel it. I’m 52. 5 years from a full hysto. I have gained a ton of weight for the first time in my life staring at 50. It is incredibly frustrating. I’m also on prednisone for rheumatoid arthritis and that combined with not being able to exercise and slow metabolism is the worst. No mirrors for this lady anymore 🤣😂🤣
Naturopathic DRs know so much more about hormones and how food can help regulate your hormones. They are a great resource and compliment to your MD.
Pharmacists can also be a great resource :)
Thank you for sharing this information!
Anytime Lori. Glad it resonated.
Thanks so much for this video, and you book so appreciated blessing to you Both!
So glad it resonated!
This is a normal part of the course of my life. How do I want to feel about it and handle it. I love this.
How do I want to think about it and what do I want to do to put myself higher on the list of things I take care of.
Just the other week I declared that I swear that when I'm pms'ing I'm also experiencing premenopausal symptoms! I turned 40 two days ago so I wasn't sure if it was too early for this to be true and maybe I was just crazy! Thank you for discussing this topic!
You are definitely NOT crazy.
Please make a video about “how to eat clean in college”!!
Thank you for this second episode. I am going through the first month of what appears to be the start of premedapause. I breath through what I and now feeling as anxiety. My period is painless, darker, and 15 days bleeding before the next expected period....I am 46....I do have a docotrs appointment to ensure I have no masses or my 2 fibrous as an issue. I want a popsmear and an ultrasound pelvic to ensure no cancers
...I have never been pregnant so my co concerns are definitely about estrogen and its influence in placing me in any danger for reproductive camcers...your channel has been my therapy to remain calm until I an able to find professional to maybe start a progesterone topical doses....thank you.....thank you...
This is great Dani. I am on her email list-she has wonderful information.
Agreed! So much info + wisdom. XO
This video is so valuable!!
So glad it was helpful :)
For self care I decided to use an accupuncturist, seed hormone cycle, cbd oil drops to love my body during this perimenopausal season. Thanks for opening up this topic, thought I was going crazy when symptoms started when I was 36.
How do these alternatives work for you particularly the acupuncture?
Thank you ever so much for the video. I have booked an appointment with Dr Anna and can't wait! in the meantime, what could you suggest for when I feel my heart beating faster than normal and sweat and cold feet, which was the case this morning and i had to just concentrate on breathing in and out slowly. If you have any other ways I can cope I would be thankful forever. P.s. I've just bought the book
How did your appointment with dr Anna go?
I also think the medical community doesnt care to learn and research anything in regards to peri menopause and menopause . So they stick to old treatment plans which is super frustrating and really sad. Hence why you need to be your own advocate and do the research yourself. Perfect example i just went to by obgyn and having heavy periods now more frequent every 2 wks.. im 43 and asked if i could get my hormones tested . HE said “oh no u dont need that hormones go up and down whats the point” how sad for us all women in the world.. thats what most ob gyns say. Unless u are willing to go to a homeopath or private doc where u pay cash - those docs have time
Kaluna3 true
I'm sorry to hear you had that experience. It's so super frustrating.
The investment in working with someone who knows how to perform and interpret tests is well worth it.
wow thanks for posting this
And you reminded me I didn't fill my prednisone prescription from several months ago lol
At approximately 21:09, you mentioned to Dr. Garrett that there are 3 types of testing and Dr. Garrett mentioned Dutch testing but the other 2 weren't mentioned. What were the other 2?
I got alots of dizzines
I had a tubaligation at 30. I went into early Menapause unknowingly at 36 when I started skipping cycles. I was concerned since I had always been regular and on time. My gun prescribed some sort of hormone pill without any kind of blood work to check my levels. After taking the first pill I thought I was dying as I felt faint and couldn't stand or hardly move. I threw them away. I am now 53 and haven't had a cycle in 12 or so years. Biggest question is I wonder if the tubaligation had anything to do with it.
April Murphy interesting! I had a tubal at 34 and did not have this happen. I had a full hysto 5 years ago. Just came off hrt at 52 and no hot flashes or symptoms. I think every woman is different!!
Thank you 💞
Can you redirect me properly all of the Dr. Anna Garrett links down below say page can’t be found
so knowing that most obgyns don’t t have the knowledge necessary about menopause which professional specialist should we see to manage peri menopause and menopause?
I work with women on balancing using lifestyle supplements and when needed hormones that are available over the counter. I would seek out someone who specializes in functional medicine. That's the approach Ii take..
@@hormoneharmony So then when your in your twenties, and your obgyn tells you that you need a hysterectomy, what can be done to help offset ALL the issues of such a procedure at such a young age. I am now 57 and it's been a nightmare. Doctors do not tell you if you have a Blood Clotting Disorder, in which taking "Progesterone" can literally kill you. I had to immediately go off it, as I had a bilateral Pulmonary Embolism. If I had gone on the Estrogen, that also would have killed me. Being on a blood thinning agent also increases other issues, so I need to be careful on many things.
@@truthtold2 There is no data that I'm aware of the progesterone increases clotting risk. With estrogen, the increased risk is with oral forms, not patches, creams or gels. There have been a number of studies that show this. So you may have been told this based on old assumptions, but more recent studies don't show this.
Thank you❤
The one thing I am sure of is that there is a direct relationship between my night sweats and the kind of food I eat
Makes sense!
Yes! Sugar kicks mine off.
Dani I am confused some say soy is good for menopause symptoms like hot flashes than I hear it’s harmful please clear it. Thanks
Happy hump day! Today I am sharing a follow up interview with my friend + health expert, Dr Anna Garrett. Dr. Anna just launched her new book: Perimenopause: A Savvy Sister's Guide To Hormone Harmony (you can pre order here: ua-cam.com/video/iu2cHBGdtgw/v-deo.html) is committed to helping women become their own health advocates! I hope you find this info insightful, I know I sure did! xo-Dani
I wish I had known about this
I am suffering insomnia at 52 an it's the worst feeling ever. What would you recommend
Avidly listening.
Glad it's helpful!
I am a vegetarian and I have been one for all my life. I eat lots of fruits, vegetables, quinoa, lentils, kidney beans, black beans, etc. I drink plenty of water and drink herbal teas and cut out refined sugar and sodium from my diet. I cook at home and very seldomly eat out less. I don't buy packaged crackers, cookies, cakes etc... You have to treat your body from inside to take control of perimenopause and menopause. And use less harsh chemicals for shampoos and soaps and body washes. Don't use anything that contains sulfates and artificial colorings and other artificial ingredients and dyes that can irritate your skin. Use natural unscented ones that preferably contain natural ingredients. Stick to wearing cotton clothes as cotton won't be an irritating fabric against your skin. Use good old vaseline or petroleum jelly to soothe dry skin rather than using scented body lotions. I am 46 and I am in perimenopause will probably be going into menopause in my early fifties and I am slowly figuring out how to handle the symptoms. Please don't depend on gynecologists to help with perimenopause and menopause symptoms. They are totally useless in my opinion. And that is why I don't even have one.
Can exercise and healthy eating help you through this?
100% yes!
How come my mama never talked or prepared me for sex, menstral cycles, pre menopause, menopause, etc? I'm 48 now, and it was the eighties when I was A teen, and now im having to look all this stuff up, but I have taught my eighteen year old, by my own experiences. I wasn't even taught about contraceptives. I find all that rediculous. I rather my child be mentally or knowledgeable prepared, than dealing with it Clueless, and not being able to talk to me about it. I hope she waites for sex till marriage, but I have to trust, because I can't follow her everywhere she goes. I hope I have prepared her enough, even if that is even possible.
Why alcohol
I have all the symptoms 😐
Goooooooood
:)
I enjoy many of your recipes. I just noticed with the almond pancakes you were using a non-stick pan. That was 6 yrs ago, so hoping you no longer use those (I stopped using them yrs ago, along with the "microwave"). Thing is, "menopause" isn't a disease and, like so many things with women especially, it shouldn't be treated as such. It's sad that so many of us are in this bubble of giving so much of our power over to "doctors" (actually translates to "teacher," but not represented that way in our cra-cra world). FYI, I only watched 5 mins of this video, so ... But being a woman who hasn't been to a mainstream doc in well over 20 yrs, and still have all my lady parts, my advice of course is to avoid mainstream docs like the plague. Stop using crap like non-stick pans, and all their other toxic stuff. Like dairy products. Like toxic soaps, deodorant, cleaners, hair dyes, etc. Don't let 'em squish your boobs (causes the big C) and don't put your feet in those stirrups (that regular horror would have to greatly contribute to stress/anxiety=disease). Don't let them cut you at least until you've researched/tried natural ways of healing. Research natural birth control. All of this (and more) is what makes "menopause" more like a disease. Living a crazy unnatural life pumped up with all the toxins (air, food, water, cosmetics, personal care products, utensils, clothes...but there are alternatives). Uh, yep, I've done the menopause thing, no white coats present. Don't remember the day it started or ended. Had a few "hot flashes" here and there, but as I recall I was drinking some herbal tea that greatly reduced them. I still have my natural hair color (no white or gray...unheard of at this age). Um yeah, mainstream crap is a killer, and being treated like cattle (stirrups, are they still doing that?), is very aging. Women, take back your power, and your body. Know that you deserve so much better, a non-toxic life at the very least. You're just a cash cow for them, whether per their ignorance or just blatant greed.
Why don't you let her tell it herself Danny?
