The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know. That's one of my favorite quotes. It's certainly true for me, and that's why I'm an eternal student. Teaching is another type of studenthood. Thank you all for sharing.
You're so right -- I entered menopause totally unprepared, uneducated & uncomfortable. Thank heaven someone is ready to talk about it! THANK YOU for sharing your passion with us. I don't do videos but I'll be spreading the word about your channel! ~Susanne
Go to your gyn and you’ll see posters and pamphlets all over the place about birth control, pregnancy, and std’s. All of that is important, but it’s clear their focus is not on menopause. The drs really know very little. They are in a hurry to treat symptoms with the standard fare and quickly get back to the focus patients: pregnant women. I am very thankful to have watched these tutorials all the way through and am now going back over certain ones. Changed my world and made me confident in how I plan to manage my menopause! I’m using a completely different approach than I thought I would before I started these tutorials. I wish doctors were forced to watch these. I realize they are too busy and doing the best they can, but menopausal women get the short end of the stick.
I'm here to do everything I can to give you what you deserve. Doctors really aren't teachers. Not only is teaching not their profession, but they just don't have the time in the 10 minutes you spend with them a year. That's where I can help. I love knowing that this education is serving your needs.
I shared with my 23 year old daughter this morning about you and how positive I feel about being a "Menopausal woman" and that it can be the best time of your life, if your properly educated. I used to feel down about getting older and going through all the changes,but not now! Thanks for the empowering. I'm going to positively prepare my other 2 adult daughters too for menopause. 😄
Oh thank you thank you, Kim. Don't worry. This is my passion. I'm determined to make things a whole lot easier for women ... all women, menopausal and otherwise. You're comment made me cry.
Dr Taylor! Where have you been all my life ? ! Wow! You are exactly the strong woman I need to listen to as I now embark on my new journey into menopause.... I wish you had been my ob/gyn but I’m glad I found you ..... I’m currently watching all your videos in order, printed out the outline and my worksheet ...... and will be ordering your book on Amazon. Thank you for the transparency on this topic that is so confusing and no one wants to talk about .... looking forward to becoming a fully empowered and strong menopausal woman! 😊
Stil watching your tutarials since the beginning my menopause started at the age of 45, now I'm 49 years young and feeling better than ever, all because your wise lessens. I am so thankfull that I found you Barbara. 😙❤
I discovered this a year ago! When I lived in Grand Rapids I went to someone who put me on hormones and I never felt better in my life...then I moved to Chicago and new doctor did not believe in hormone therapy and took me off. I went downhill fast....I then took my life back and went back to GR and put myself back.. I am back!!!
Hi I'm from UK and the lovely Manager in my Health food store where I was buying products to help me through menopause (on a particularly bad mood swing day!) alerted me to your site. I think you are wonderful. So easy to listen to, positive and upbeat and very informative. You give us hope that there is a solution to this chaos! I am so glad I have found your tutorials and have recommended you to my friends. I'm only 3 videos in and listen to you while I eat breakfast in the morning. God bless you and have a great day.
Oh Andrea, You make me feel so good about what I'm doing. Knowing that these videos will make a huge difference in the rest of your life is what I live for. Stay tuned. I won't disappoint you, I promise!
Hi Barbie. Just started watching, saw u with Dominique. I'm a rectal cancer survivor, who has had surgery, chemo and radiation. I am celebrating being cancer free for a year. My doctor is poo pooing any hormone therapy. I am miserable. He put me on an anti depressant. Used it once, and hated it. I'm looking forward to going through all of your videos. Thanks so much for doing them!!
Oh Debra, congratulations! And I understand your frustration. Do you have cancers in your family? I think your gastroenterologist is reluctant because there's an entity called, "Cancer Family Syndrome." It's a situation where multiple members of a family have had various cancers, one of which is colon cancer. And others have had breast, uterine, or various other cancers. They're all due to a gene in the family. But then there's isolated colon cancer that has nothing to do with a family cancer syndrome and is unrelated to any other kind of cancer. And in that situation, there's no reason to avoid hormones. Why don't you have a discussion about this with your doctor. Find out why he's reluctant for you to have hormones. And you should know that there are a bunch of non-hormonal ways to manage your symptoms of menopause. Of course, I'll be covering all of them in the videos, but it's going to take a while for you get all that information. If you want it sooner, get my book. It's all in there. I hate knowing that you're so uncomfortable.
Menopause Barbie No family history, but my mom never found out information on her father. I will buy the book as soon as I have the funds. I found it on Amazon. Thanks for replying. U rock!!
Well, if you get this education from me, you won't hav to worry about that. You'll know everything you need to know to ensure you get what you want to manage your menopause your way ... successfully.
I began watching these in order, but skipped this one on accident. Glad I came back to it. Your teaching style reminds me of a school teacher, because everything is interesting, colorful and bizarre and therefore easy to put into my long term memory, as opposed to if it were dry. I can tell you love the Vintage styles 💕. Thank you for your work, Dr. Taylor. Your unique methodology is invaluable🦋🌸🦋
Dear Barbie! I am 44years old, still not in menopause, but I´ve been looking for information for some time in order to prepare. You cannot believe how happy I am to have found you! I am from Brazil, and hope sometime in the future you and your husband will spend one year here!
Oh, Adriana, I'm so glad you're here. Please watch my videos in order, and learn all you can BEFORE you need this information. You will be so well prepared, and so empowered to manage your menopause your way when it arrives. I'm really proud of you. I love acai!
Great information.I cant rely on my mom for info because she had a hysterectomy in her 40's. I totally agree with you that now at 51 I am putting myself first.
Thank you so much Barbie! I’ve only just turned 40 but menopause started early for me, about a year ago. I am looking forward to learning more from you . So far the episodes are captivating and you’ve got the light, such a pleasure to watch you! Blessings to you!
Welcome to "Menopause University," my dear. This is the menopause education you deserve. If you start with video # 1 and watch them all in order, you will understand everything. If you watch them randomly, you will sabotage your entire menopause education. And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all via video conferencing.
Barbara Taylor M.D. you are awesome for doing this. I got pneumonia and went to the emergency room was prescribed both Amoxicilin and a Zpak to be taken concurrently or at the same time and subsequently billed $4000. Well I only make $12 an hour and it didn't get paid. So then I picked up my daughter's car speaker not realizing how much it weighed and immediatly dropped it on my foot. It smashed the smaller bones on top of my foot and broke my 5th metatarsol in 2 places, that time I was turned away from the emergency room with no medical care whatsoever not even a cast. I ordered a walking boot and a wheelchair from ebay and in 6 weeks I healed anyway. My foot is a little different but the bones are healed and I can walk again. Thus began my aversion to the medical community. I was hoping you were going to tell us what to do when medical care is unavailable and I was at first disappointed. But I have seen enough of your videos to go ahead and start from the beginning to get all the correct knowledge to work with. Thank you so much for caring about all people enough to do this.
My goal is to help you navigate whatever system or professionals you choose. I'll hold your hand through all of it. I'm so sorry you've had some bad experiences. And I hope this education sets the stage for positive and productive ones in the future. I'm here whenever you need me, and I'm so very glad you're watching the videos in order.
I'll always answer all your comments, You can count on it. Sometimes, I'll be a couple of days late, but you WILL get an answer. I'm here to help you in any way I can.
Thank you Dr Taylor for all the incredible amount of preparation and effort you have put into your videos. I finally feel empowered to take control of my menopause when honestly I felt like my life and body was out of control. By the way, traditional Catholics AKA Orthodox Catholics do believe in birth control, but only natural methods like the rhythm method. Canon law has taught that the introduction of artificial birth control leads to an immoral society where marriage and the family is no longer honored. It’s Canon law that says that life is sacred and anything that is against supporting life is wrong. This is why Traditional Catholics do not believe in artificial birth control, abortion, euthanasia, in vitro, using vaccines that have been tested on aborted fetuses, organ harvesting from fetuses and only the death penalty in extreme cases.
Just started your series and I'm stunned by not only how generous you are to provide this information to us but also how much you look like Jane Fonda! Is it just me?
Jane Fonda? Nobody has ever told me that. Actually, I don't really look like anybody. I have a strange look. But, more importantly, 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. You'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that now you 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. I do them all online.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for starting your channel. I'm grateful there are people like you, brave enough. One little thing: Franco was a dictator, not a 'usual ruler', via a coup d'etat and civil war, he managed to stay in power for 35 years.
I got 34 years of mensturating from 12 to 46 years. when I told my daughter in law im in menopausal state she says she wished she could stop making kids. and I told her hell no just keep popping them out while you can to stay alive. you wont want to be in my shoes. yip I tell everyone I'm in menopausal state now and have a laugh im not like the old days where it was taboo to talk about how you were coping. I'm taking time out to be informed so I know what I'm going through
Keep up the good work, Victoria (and the laughter). Watching these videos will really make your peri- and post-menopausal phases of life a lot better than those reproductive years. I'm serious!
Thank you for all this information. I just had a hard year but i now know more then i ever did. Now i just need to set with myself and find a support that is best for ME!
Welcome to my channel, Lupita. I love helping you. If you watch my videos in order, you'll understand everything. And I respond to these comments daily.
Just can't get enough of you, you are fantastic. My mom is 82 looks amazing and she was on HRT for at about 20 years. I am not on anything but waiting to see how to manage it xxxxx
It's perfectly fine to wait and see or to use trial and error to discover what's right for you. Keep learning everything you can so that you make your decisions as an informed, empowered woman.
I know for me "this phase" is more challenging as a woman who had later pregnancies and experience their menopausal years with children going through Puberty, while friends in our "age range" already have grandchildren...my 'boat' seems to be on a 'lonely cruise!' :-/
You're right. It is more difficult when you're kids are having their own difficult time. And if you have elderly, firm parents, you're sandwiched between generations that lean on you from both sides. Remember, all this will evolve. The most important thing for you is to do what you can to be as stable as possible. And that's what I'm here to help you with.
Oh my gosh - I hear you! My kids are 37, 31 and 14. 4 grandkids, 12, 10, 8, 7, and 1 on the way. I'll take that cruise with you Angel. I don't have friends in my age range either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
linda petersen My step son is 30 and in N.Y.; I know how it can be! My "Sweet-16" is into cosmetics & France, while my 2 "Amazingly-Autistic" sons (9 & 11) are like night & day in their very enthusiastic passions for DVD's & Photography! I'm on one CRAZY trip! LOL! :-)
This education will give you confidence in your ability to manage your menopause your way ... successfully. But you'll know the facts instead of a bunch of misinformation and fear tactics.
welcome, Julie. I'm so pleased to see that you're starting at the beginning! Just watch these videos in order, and you'll understand everything. I promise.
I wished I had found you a month ago. I just had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. My OB/GYN had no problem encouraging it without trying anything else. Not even birth control pills. I was searching the internet and only had confusing information. I was back and forth up until 3 hours before the procedure. While at the hospital a nurse told me that bleeding heavily and an enlarged uterus was normal along with fibroids. I’m 51 and was at the end of rope with no clear answers. I think I’ve been in menopause for 8 years. Heavy bleeding and brain fog. I just began skipping periods last year but has bleeding for 5-6 weeks constantly anemic. I tried so hard to tough it out and I’m upset now that I might have been so close to what May have been getting easier. I don’t know. I hope I find some answers now even though I may have really messed my body up. Thank you and I look forward to more information.
You should definitely schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will tailor all the facts specifically to YOU and make sure you know all your options.
Love your videos, thankyou so much for this education. Menopause has made me feel loss of power and self esteem.. Thankyou for bringing power confidence and hope back into the equation of menopase❤❤❤
I found you via Hot & Flashy and am so happy I have! Thank you for making these videos! I'm using them to teach my 16 year old daughter and her friends at their (Catholic) school -- starting with sharing the factors in their control which may contribute to risk factors for heart attacks, osteoporosis, breast cancer, etc.etc. I work in medical education (I am director of our simulated patient program) and now I'm wishing I could bring you to our AMWA group to teach our medical + PA students about caring for their patients and getting them to have happy & healthy lives during peri- and post-menopause. I'll start scheming. You rock.

Love your channel! There are still many traditional Catholic women who don't use birth control. I am 54 years old. My husband and I practiced NFP throughout our reproductive years and had our 4th child at age 42.
You are so right, Joanne. But now it's a choice. Back in the Franco era, there was no choice. Thank you so much for your comments. I love the opportunity to "interact" with you.
I grew up in Barcelona :-) Been living in Kyoto for over 20 years now, though. Learning what you are teaching is the most important thing in my life at the moment. Thank you!
You are so welcome, my dear. Just keep watching these videos in order amp you will learn everything you need to know. And if you need my personal help with anything, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them with women all over the world using video conferencing.
You will be soooo glad you did! I can assure you that you are making the best investment in yourself ever. I respond to comments here on UA-cam daily. So, I'm eager to see your reactions as you progress through the videos.
My girly girl bits were surgically removed because of a potentially cancerous mass. I was not for off from menopause, so at almost 51, I'm full blown menopause now! I'll be buying the book and watching the videos a few at a time.
Live a different country every year! Great. Should start a video on that too. I will fiat to subscribe. Would like to get career and family advice discussions from Dr Barbie! I just so impressed with her retiring “early “ and do the things she enjoy her way.
Well, I retired because of severe arthritis, not because I wanted to retire. But, I've turned my negatives into positives. If it weren't for my arthritis, I would not be delivering this education to you today. The way I see it, it's a win-win situation ... even though I love with my arthritis.
Good! You'll see that the videos follow the book, but expand on it a lot. The great thing about the book is that once you've seen the videos, it functions as a reference that you can use easily.
Oh me oh my ! How wonderful to have you in my life to guide me in this unknown phase of my life. Thank you for instilling knowledge into me at the tender age of 50. Thank you 🙏🏼
I only wish every woman had this information at a young age. That's my mission. And welcome aboard, my dear. If you watch my videos in order, there's absolutely nothing you won't understand.
Hello from Costa Rica!! Just found you and I am sooo glad! I am 54 years old and starting to miss my period and experiencing my first hot flashes. OMG I knew it was coming! I want to learn as much as I can, so will be watching every single video. I do need the handout though, where can I find it? Thank you so much for these videos and looking forward to seeing them all!
Gail Sheehy had started the conversation about Menopause in the early 90's, but the 2002 cancer scare drove everybody away. When I started peri-menopause, everybody just said to forget about hormones because of the cancer risk. Now I am I hearing that the cancer risk isn't nearly as big as they thought back then, but women and doctors are still afraid.
Yes, fear is the most paralyzing emotion on earth. Unfortunately, fear has really made it difficult for women to get the information they need. You deserve to know ALL the benefits and ALL the risks, and then make your own decision. If you want me to give you the information you deserve and tailor it all to YOU, please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I'm going to be 52 on August this year and I'm not in menopause yet but I sure do feel lousy I'm depressed has anxiety mood swings and feel ugly inside and out I am not looking forward to having it either
I am going to help you see that your menopause can be the very best time in your life. And I'm going to give you so many options for embracing it your way. Please watch my videos. I promise you it can be so much better.
Nice to watch your video. I resting at home ..recovery from such horrible surgery. I think invited my menopause came instantly without choice. So mad to be woman. Too much suffering . Me 57 age ..perfect hormones and menopause refused to arrive.. lots too much blood and survive by blood transfusion. Ridiculous life
Well, your recovery is the perfect time to get this eduction. Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University."

I just started watching your videos. Wish I knew this 10 years ago. What can I do to find a Dr. To listen to me about how I feel and do what is necessary to make my menopause journey the best part of my life. I live in Fayetteville NC and it it so hard to find a Dr. Who will listen to you. I simply gave up and have been miserable for 10 years. The process of finding a Doctor is very time consuming and expensive. Trying to get in for an appt can take from 3 to 6 weeks. I have good insurance and live a very comfortable life. My husband does not understand he always says well you are not like you used to be. He jokes that I have been going thru menopause for a long time. I am at the lowest point in my life now when I should be enjoying life. I am existing not living. Since my hysterectomy at the age of 47 I have not been on any HRT. Every Doctor I have seen does not want to do anything. They have their biased opinions. I just quit going to them and almost gave up until I found you thru Angie Hot&Flashy. Now I have hope that things will get better. I am going to watch all of your videos in order. I am on number 5 now. But what can I do when I am empowered with the information you give me in finding the right Dr. In a timely manner. Thank you so much for doing these videos. You Absolutely ROCK!!
Just started watching your videos today. I already love you. :) I am hitting 50 this year and going through the symptoms for the past few years. I love all the information you are giving us and I love your personality. I try to dress nicely in the office too. I am sooo glad I found you. Could you recommend any docs in the Los Angeles area? Thank you for everything!!

wish I would have known you and 1987 when I was 17 and undiagnosed with endometriosis until age 26. 🤪 I went through 10 doctors and was told everything in the book except given a diagnosis. And the last lady got it. And she performed a laparoscopy and I had a baby 3 years later ☺️
You'll love my videos on Endometriosis when you get to them (But don't jump ahead!) In fact, watching my videos will probably make you a bit miffed about many things that you will learn now, but should have been informed about long ago. But, at least you will learn them.

i like thinking of us as a powerful group thank you 🙌 thank u for your videos i’m going thru each one. I’m talking about it with all my friends who feel shamed about it. My besty just made a dr appointment. I hope I get a decent dr on monday😳 my last one just smirked at me and offered nothing.
I'm here to help you if you don't succeed in getting what you want. Just schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME so that you don't burn any more bridges
Wow so this confirms my concern that a regular obgyn isn’t going to know the best way to treat you…. Wow so glad to have this resource Yeah I don’t want them to substitute my judgement for theirs if they are wrong!
It's not necessarily that they are wrong. The problem is that they have no education on menopause whatsoever. If you get the menopause education, you will know 90% more than most doctors.
Thank you for doing this it’s amazing information. I researched tone and tone of doctors tubers about menopause never encounter an boat load of information like you. Love it! God bless
You are so very welcome, my dear. I am all about ensuring that you get the EDUCATION you deserve. If you have that, your menopause management will be successful because you'll know what you're doing. If you don't have an education, you'll be shooting in the dark.
I am having trouble with my menopause boobs. I have spent my working years getting up at 3 am and exercising to DVD'S since age 22. I had little tiny bloops of nothing until age 40 and I just woke up one morning and almost had a heart attack. Progesterone cream on my boobs fixed that for a number of years. I am now 58 and it no longer works and I am trying to figure out bras and my Mom passed the year I was 40. I don't understand this. I could have used these things at 25, but now they are useless and hurt my back. I am having major trouble purchasing bras to support these useless lumps on my chest. You are wonderful for all the good info. I am sure I am not the only person having trouble with this issue
Ann, This is something that would warrant a one-on-one consultation, which you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. Your situation is very personal, and would require tailoring a lot of different issues specifically to you.
😁 vid#4 down, at least I now have an informative place to spend those insomniac meno-moments. Many hugs to you for doing this for all of us women and men that want to understand the changes in the women in their life..
oh my gosh...you are so cute...i so enjoy your seriousness, your truthfulness, your passion but also your light heartedness....and as menopausal women we need what you are gifting us. it is a gift btw...SW
It wi; be so good for you to have it. You'll be able to see where we're going, and it will be a great reference in the future when you need to revisit a topic.
That's the case for many women. I'll be covering mood swings, irritability, and depression in detail. As with all hormonal shifts throughout our lives (puberty, pregnancy, PMS), mood changes are a huge part of what women deal with. If you want to jump ahead, get my book and go to Chapter 15. It has a bunch of management options if you don't want to wait for the videos. (It will be many months before we get to this in the videos.)
Thank you and I have definitely been spreading the word about your videos many of my friends are going through different phases of menopause in the ones who have watch the videos are very impressed and thankful
Thank you, Vicky. It will so wonderful for you and your girlfriends to have this knowledge and be able to communicate on an educated level. You'll feel sorry for those friends who aren't watching the videos. But, readiness is everything. And, with time, they'll get in on them, too.
Thank you for supplying this information...I'm watching your videos and enhancing my knowledge on what's going on with me...I want to tell you what g Happened at my last yearly appointment, a comment from my obgyn...I'm a woman at the time age 50 with a partial hysterectomy. I walk into the exam room am my Dr says...well the warranty on your ovaries are running out..and gave me no more information. I left the appointment dumfounded and scared. Thank you for this information...education and arming me with knowledge
Oh, Tonja! I'm so sorry about that inappropriate comment. I can assure you that if you watch my video in order you'll understand everything, and you'll get the education you deserve. I can't believe that I'm the first person to ever teach women what they all deserve to know about their own bodies (in a language they can understand).
Found you through +Anna Garrett and +Dominique Sachse:) Just downloaded the handoout and worksheet from your website and am ready to go:) lol I love your style and common-sense approach to menopause. Although you are extremely intelligent, you are never arrogant.
Renee, welcome to my channel. I'm somewhat of an odd-ball. I'll never TELL you what to do. Rather, I'll take the time to explain all the facts, delineate all the pros and cons of each option, and help you tailor the information to your preferences and needs. The most important thing is that everything will make sense. I'm not trying to sell you anything or coerce you to do things a certain way. I truly believe that if you have accurate information, you'll make the best decisions for yourself. And I want you to laugh while you learn.
They're in the text portion of the video. Alternatively, you can get them on my website: MenopauseTaylor.ME. I'm so glad you're watching and learning. I love doing this for you.
Yes, you may definitely say that, and I will definitely be honored. Thank you so much for appreciating what I have to offer. This is the menopause education you deserve. And if you watch all my videos in order, you will definitely understand everything. If you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Exactly. The vast majority of women are unprepared. And it's just as ridiculous as being unprepared for your child to experience puberty. But, now you have me to make sure you know everything. Just watch my videos in order and I can assure you that everything will make perfect sense.
You are very kind to write that. Thank you. If you watch these videos in order, starting with the very first one, you will definitely understand everything. And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylorME.

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.
I am really enjoying your videos. Thank you. I have felt fortunate because I have made a smooth transition into menopause. I took hormones when I was young (in my 20s) and now take levothyroxine. Do you think it had any bearing on my menopause?
No, I don't think either the hormones you took when you were young or the levothyroxine you take now had any bearing on your menopause. You're just fortunate! But if you hadn't diagnosed your thyroid problem, things would not have been as smooth. And you might have mistaken some of your thyroid symptoms as symptoms of menopause. It's good that you were on top of things.
Sheryl, If you don't see it in the descriptive section of the video, do the easiest thing: go to my website. It's MenopauseBarbie.ME Scroll down to just below my photo. You'll see four boxes. The first box will have the outline notes. The second box will have the worksheet. You can print them both free of charge. (The outline notes are almost 100 pages. Make sure you have enough paper.)
All of your videos are great! I had a great aunt who lived to be 102 and cooked her own food lived in her own home and wrote her own letters. So now that I am using the Estradiol/ Climara patch I have bene told Monistat any any other anti fungal is very bad but not in those words. I have reoccurring yeast infections ow to I treat this naturally? I am desperate and itchy! Will pay for advice. You can do consultations and change people.
I do consultations! Schedule one. If you want a consultation, go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule one. I do them on Skype, FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, as well as in-person. You can include all the things you want to cover when you fill out the form, and then send me any labs or tests you've had. That way, I can incorporate everything into the session. I'll create a personalized document addressing all your concerns, and send it to you at least one day before our session. That way, you 'll have time to read it in advance. It's usually 6 - 12 pages long. Then, I'll have all sorts of props and models to show you during the consultation, and we'll make great headway. You'll understand everything and have all the options tailored specifically to YOU.
If you have a consultation with me, you can send me all your labs and tests so that I can incorporate them into your session. I'm all about tailoring things TO YOU.
thanks! I could not wait on the yeast thing and had my doctor look into it for me. His surgery days are Mondays and I didn't think I could reach him but turns out he didn't have surgery today! but I will keep you in mind for next time.
Hi! Thank you for all you share here. Since you lived in Spain, could you meet any good medical doctor who works similar to you that you would recommend us?
Nobody can "recommend" a doctor. You have to FIND a doctor who will help you manage YOUR menopause YOUR way. I can help you determine how to do that in a consultation. That's because it all depends on HOW you want to manage YOUR menopause.
Try going to my website: MenopauseBarbie.ME (Note that it's .ME and not .com.) Scroll to just below my photo. You'll see four boxes. The first one is Menopause Barbie Outline Notes. You'll find them there and you can print them out. We've added a link in the descriptive section of the videos, but it was added after this video (#4).
Chris, 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.

@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you! I am at video nr. 9 now and I am planning to watch them all, in order, of course :) -it's a joy. I have never found anything on this subject presented more clearly, logically and at the same time so entertaining!
The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know. That's one of my favorite quotes. It's certainly true for me, and that's why I'm an eternal student. Teaching is another type of studenthood. Thank you all for sharing.
You're so right -- I entered menopause totally unprepared, uneducated & uncomfortable. Thank heaven someone is ready to talk about it! THANK YOU for sharing your passion with us. I don't do videos but I'll be spreading the word about your channel! ~Susanne
Before you know it, everyone will be talking about menopause. That's my goal. No more silence.
Go to your gyn and you’ll see posters and pamphlets all over the place about birth control, pregnancy, and std’s. All of that is important, but it’s clear their focus is not on menopause. The drs really know very little. They are in a hurry to treat symptoms with the standard fare and quickly get back to the focus patients: pregnant women.
I am very thankful to have watched these tutorials all the way through and am now going back over certain ones. Changed my world and made me confident in how I plan to manage my menopause! I’m using a completely different approach than I thought I would before I started these tutorials.
I wish doctors were forced to watch these. I realize they are too busy and doing the best they can, but menopausal women get the short end of the stick.
I'm here to do everything I can to give you what you deserve.
Doctors really aren't teachers. Not only is teaching not their profession, but they just don't have the time in the 10 minutes you spend with them a year. That's where I can help.
I love knowing that this education is serving your needs.
I disagree physicians years ago had time for patients they were different they explained things then the doctors today,its a rat race today
I will be watching I hope Its not where I will be afraid to try a product on my own
I shared with my 23 year old daughter this morning about you and how positive I feel about being a "Menopausal woman" and that it can be the best time of your life, if your properly educated. I used to feel down about getting older and going through all the changes,but not now! Thanks for the empowering. I'm going to positively prepare my other 2 adult daughters too for menopause. 😄
binge watching your videos. definitely an answer to prayer. thank you for making these videos. ♡♡♡
It's a good binge!
I am binging too ☺️
Thank you. I am doing the same.
Same here and out of impatience at double speed😁
@@c.vandenberg1559 hahaha sounds like me
You make me want to cry......tears of joy. I'm so very happy and thankful I found your site! Keep up the good work
Oh thank you thank you, Kim. Don't worry. This is my passion. I'm determined to make things a whole lot easier for women ... all women, menopausal and otherwise. You're comment made me cry.
I feel exactly the same!!
I make your words my words Kim! Thanks Dr. Taylor for putting all this information together for us! 🙏 You are amazing!
Hi Dr. Taylor, Thank you for this important information.... So happy & encouraged that I found your UA-cam channel... God Bless you!!!
Dr Taylor! Where have you been all my life ? ! Wow! You are exactly the strong woman I need to listen to as I now embark on my new journey into menopause.... I wish you had been my ob/gyn but I’m glad I found you ..... I’m currently watching all your videos in order, printed out the outline and my worksheet ...... and will be ordering your book on Amazon. Thank you for the transparency on this topic that is so confusing and no one wants to talk about .... looking forward to becoming a fully empowered and strong menopausal woman! 😊
Stil watching your tutarials since the beginning my menopause started at the age of 45, now I'm 49 years young and feeling better than ever, all because your wise lessens. I am so thankfull that I found you Barbara. 😙❤
I discovered this a year ago! When I lived in Grand Rapids I went to someone who put me on hormones and I never felt better in my life...then I moved to Chicago and new doctor did not believe in hormone therapy and took me off. I went downhill fast....I then took my life back and went back to GR and put myself back.. I am back!!!
You see! You know yourself better than anyone else does. Find a physician who will work WITH you to give you what you know you need.
Hi I'm from UK and the lovely Manager in my Health food store where I was buying products to help me through menopause (on a particularly bad mood swing day!) alerted me to your site. I think you are wonderful. So easy to listen to, positive and upbeat and very informative. You give us hope that there is a solution to this chaos! I am so glad I have found your tutorials and have recommended you to my friends. I'm only 3 videos in and listen to you while I eat breakfast in the morning. God bless you and have a great day.
Oh Andrea,
You make me feel so good about what I'm doing. Knowing that these videos will make a huge difference in the rest of your life is what I live for. Stay tuned. I won't disappoint you, I promise!
Andrea Egan Chaos. Yes. That’s exactly how I describe it .
Hi Barbie. Just started watching, saw u with Dominique. I'm a rectal cancer survivor, who has had surgery, chemo and radiation. I am celebrating being cancer free for a year. My doctor is poo pooing any hormone therapy. I am miserable. He put me on an anti depressant. Used it once, and hated it. I'm looking forward to going through all of your videos. Thanks so much for doing them!!
Oh Debra, congratulations! And I understand your frustration.
Do you have cancers in your family? I think your gastroenterologist is reluctant because there's an entity called, "Cancer Family Syndrome." It's a situation where multiple members of a family have had various cancers, one of which is colon cancer. And others have had breast, uterine, or various other cancers. They're all due to a gene in the family.
But then there's isolated colon cancer that has nothing to do with a family cancer syndrome and is unrelated to any other kind of cancer. And in that situation, there's no reason to avoid hormones. Why don't you have a discussion about this with your doctor. Find out why he's reluctant for you to have hormones.
And you should know that there are a bunch of non-hormonal ways to manage your symptoms of menopause. Of course, I'll be covering all of them in the videos, but it's going to take a while for you get all that information. If you want it sooner, get my book. It's all in there. I hate knowing that you're so uncomfortable.
Menopause Barbie No family history, but my mom never found out information on her father. I will buy the book as soon as I have the funds. I found it on Amazon. Thanks for replying. U rock!!
You are right, menopause is seen as just a phase that gets so dismissed by professionals.
Well, if you get this education from me, you won't hav to worry about that. You'll know everything you need to know to ensure you get what you want to manage your menopause your way ... successfully.
WoW,WoW,WoW!!! just got my book now following along with the tutorials! Let the empowerment begin!
Absolutely! You'll find it really easy to follow along and learn everything.
I began watching these in order, but skipped this one on accident. Glad I came back to it. Your teaching style reminds me of a school teacher, because everything is interesting, colorful and bizarre and therefore easy to put into my long term memory, as opposed to if it were dry. I can tell you love the Vintage styles 💕. Thank you for your work, Dr. Taylor. Your unique methodology is invaluable🦋🌸🦋
Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts. I love giving you the menopause education you deserve.
this woman shines in her encouragement of others to do the same, she is gold
You make me feel so very appreciated. Thank you for seeing the value in my efforts.
Dear Barbie! I am 44years old, still not in menopause, but I´ve been looking for information for some time in order to prepare. You cannot believe how happy I am to have found you! I am from Brazil, and hope sometime in the future you and your husband will spend one year here!
Oh, Adriana,
I'm so glad you're here. Please watch my videos in order, and learn all you can BEFORE you need this information. You will be so well prepared, and so empowered to manage your menopause your way when it arrives. I'm really proud of you.
I love acai!
Great information.I cant rely on my mom for info because she had a hysterectomy in her 40's. I totally agree with you that now at 51 I am putting myself first.
Good for you! Convince all your friends to do the same. You all deserve it. It's all about YOU!
Thank you so much Barbie! I’ve only just turned 40 but menopause started early for me, about a year ago. I am looking forward to learning more from you . So far the episodes are captivating and you’ve got the light, such a pleasure to watch you! Blessings to you!
Welcome to "Menopause University," my dear. This is the menopause education you deserve.
If you start with video # 1 and watch them all in order, you will understand everything. If you watch them randomly, you will sabotage your entire menopause education.
And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all via video conferencing.
Barbara Taylor M.D. you are awesome for doing this. I got pneumonia and went to the emergency room was prescribed both Amoxicilin and a Zpak to be taken concurrently or at the same time and subsequently billed $4000. Well I only make $12 an hour and it didn't get paid. So then I picked up my daughter's car speaker not realizing how much it weighed and immediatly dropped it on my foot. It smashed the smaller bones on top of my foot and broke my 5th metatarsol in 2 places, that time I was turned away from the emergency room with no medical care whatsoever not even a cast. I ordered a walking boot and a wheelchair from ebay and in 6 weeks I healed anyway. My foot is a little different but the bones are healed and I can walk again. Thus began my aversion to the medical community. I was hoping you were going to tell us what to do when medical care is unavailable and I was at first disappointed. But I have seen enough of your videos to go ahead and start from the beginning to get all the correct knowledge to work with. Thank you so much for caring about all people enough to do this.
My goal is to help you navigate whatever system or professionals you choose. I'll hold your hand through all of it. I'm so sorry you've had some bad experiences. And I hope this education sets the stage for positive and productive ones in the future. I'm here whenever you need me, and I'm so very glad you're watching the videos in order.
Thank you so very much for presenting so much valuable information.. I can't express my gratitude enough.
You already have expressed your gratitude enough. Just knowing that my videos are helping you is all I need. Thank you.
Thank you for getting back !!! I just started your videos but, it feels so good to have you here thanks from Rhode Island
Ana
I'll always answer all your comments, You can count on it. Sometimes, I'll be a couple of days late, but you WILL get an answer. I'm here to help you in any way I can.
At 57 I have already learnt so much, thank you Barbie.
Then I'm doing my job.
This is a gift . Thank-u Barbie .
It's my pleasure.
Thank you Dr Taylor for all the incredible amount of preparation and effort you have put into your videos. I finally feel empowered to take control of my menopause when honestly I felt like my life and body was out of control. By the way, traditional Catholics AKA Orthodox Catholics do believe in birth control, but only natural methods like the rhythm method. Canon law has taught that the introduction of artificial birth control leads to an immoral society where marriage and the family is no longer honored. It’s Canon law that says that life is sacred and anything that is against supporting life is wrong. This is why Traditional Catholics do not believe in artificial birth control, abortion, euthanasia, in vitro, using vaccines that have been tested on aborted fetuses, organ harvesting from fetuses and only the death penalty in extreme cases.
You are so very welcome, my dear.
Just started your series and I'm stunned by not only how generous you are to provide this information to us but also how much you look like Jane Fonda! Is it just me?
Jane Fonda? Nobody has ever told me that. Actually, I don't really look like anybody. I have a strange look.
But, more importantly, 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. You'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that now you do know.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for starting your channel. I'm grateful there are people like you, brave enough. One little thing: Franco was a dictator, not a 'usual ruler', via a coup d'etat and civil war, he managed to stay in power for 35 years.
I got 34 years of mensturating from 12 to 46 years. when I told my daughter in law im in menopausal state she says she wished she could stop making kids. and I told her hell no just keep popping them out while you can to stay alive. you wont want to be in my shoes. yip I tell everyone I'm in menopausal state now and have a laugh im not like the old days where it was taboo to talk about how you were coping. I'm taking time out to be informed so I know what I'm going through
Keep up the good work, Victoria (and the laughter). Watching these videos will really make your peri- and post-menopausal phases of life a lot better than those reproductive years. I'm serious!
Thank you for all this information. I just had a hard year but i now know more then i ever did. Now i just need to set with myself and find a support that is best for ME!
Welcome to my channel, Lupita. I love helping you. If you watch my videos in order, you'll understand everything. And I respond to these comments daily.
Just can't get enough of you, you are fantastic. My mom is 82 looks amazing and she was on HRT for at about 20 years. I am not on anything but waiting to see how to manage it xxxxx
It's perfectly fine to wait and see or to use trial and error to discover what's right for you. Keep learning everything you can so that you make your decisions as an informed, empowered woman.
I know for me "this phase" is more challenging as a woman who had later pregnancies and experience their menopausal years with children going through Puberty, while friends in our "age range" already have grandchildren...my 'boat' seems to be on a 'lonely cruise!' :-/
You're right. It is more difficult when you're kids are having their own difficult time. And if you have elderly, firm parents, you're sandwiched between generations that lean on you from both sides.
Remember, all this will evolve. The most important thing for you is to do what you can to be as stable as possible. And that's what I'm here to help you with.
Oh my gosh - I hear you! My kids are 37, 31 and 14. 4 grandkids, 12, 10, 8, 7, and 1 on the way. I'll take that cruise with you Angel. I don't have friends in my age range either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
linda petersen My step son is 30 and in N.Y.; I know how it can be! My "Sweet-16" is into cosmetics & France, while my 2 "Amazingly-Autistic" sons (9 & 11) are like night & day in their very enthusiastic passions for DVD's & Photography! I'm on one CRAZY trip! LOL! :-)
Enjoy the confidence from Dr Barbie immensely!!!
This education will give you confidence in your ability to manage your menopause your way ... successfully. But you'll know the facts instead of a bunch of misinformation and fear tactics.
Thank you very much for all the i n formation and the uplifting delivery of your message ❤
You are so very welcome, my dear.
You go Girl!!! I admire what you are doing.
And I admire you for being proactive in educating yourself about this important part of your life.
Hi Barbie, Thank you for educating women! XO Marilyn (52) in CA 🌸
You're so very welcome! It's high time, isn't it!
So happy I found you!❤️what a wonderful help you are❤️thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
welcome, Julie. I'm so pleased to see that you're starting at the beginning! Just watch these videos in order, and you'll understand everything. I promise.
I wished I had found you a month ago. I just had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. My OB/GYN had no problem encouraging it without trying anything else. Not even birth control pills. I was searching the internet and only had confusing information. I was back and forth up until 3 hours before the procedure. While at the hospital a nurse told me that bleeding heavily and an enlarged uterus was normal along with fibroids. I’m 51 and was at the end of rope with no clear answers. I think I’ve been in menopause for 8 years. Heavy bleeding and brain fog. I just began skipping periods last year but has bleeding for 5-6 weeks constantly anemic. I tried so hard to tough it out and I’m upset now that I might have been so close to what May have been getting easier. I don’t know. I hope I find some answers now even though I may have really messed my body up. Thank you and I look forward to more information.
You should definitely schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will tailor all the facts specifically to YOU and make sure you know all your options.
Love your videos, thankyou so much for this education. Menopause has made me feel loss of power and self esteem.. Thankyou for bringing power confidence and hope back into the equation of menopase❤❤❤
I will help you regain your power and your self esteem.
I found you via Hot & Flashy and am so happy I have! Thank you for making these videos! I'm using them to teach my 16 year old daughter and her friends at their (Catholic) school -- starting with sharing the factors in their control which may contribute to risk factors for heart attacks, osteoporosis, breast cancer, etc.etc. I work in medical education (I am director of our simulated patient program) and now I'm wishing I could bring you to our AMWA group to teach our medical + PA students about caring for their patients and getting them to have happy & healthy lives during peri- and post-menopause. I'll start scheming. You rock.
(also, I am desperate to learn for myself -- LMP 9 months ago and want to get going so that I feel better)

So grateful for you & all your knowledge!!!
I love every minute of delivering it.
Love your channel! There are still many traditional Catholic women who don't use birth control. I am 54 years old. My husband and I practiced NFP throughout our reproductive years and had our 4th child at age 42.
You are so right, Joanne. But now it's a choice. Back in the Franco era, there was no choice.
Thank you so much for your comments. I love the opportunity to "interact" with you.
I grew up in Barcelona :-) Been living in Kyoto for over 20 years now, though. Learning what you are teaching is the most important thing in my life at the moment. Thank you!
You are so welcome, my dear. Just keep watching these videos in order amp you will learn everything you need to know.
And if you need my personal help with anything, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them with women all over the world using video conferencing.
I started watching your videos 3 weeks ago but I've finally started watching from the beginning! Thank you!
You will be soooo glad you did! I can assure you that you are making the best investment in yourself ever.
I respond to comments here on UA-cam daily. So, I'm eager to see your reactions as you progress through the videos.
I’ve been watching you for a while and finally decided to go back to video one and watch you all the way through from the start. 💕Thank you!
You make me so happy. I know you're going to be so glad you did this.
My girly girl bits were surgically removed because of a potentially cancerous mass. I was not for off from menopause, so at almost 51, I'm full blown menopause now! I'll be buying the book and watching the videos a few at a time.
If you keep watching them in order, you will understand everything. I promise.
Live a different country every year! Great. Should start a video on that too. I will fiat to subscribe. Would like to get career and family advice discussions from Dr Barbie! I just so impressed with her retiring “early “ and do the things she enjoy her way.
Well, I retired because of severe arthritis, not because I wanted to retire. But, I've turned my negatives into positives. If it weren't for my arthritis, I would not be delivering this education to you today. The way I see it, it's a win-win situation ... even though I love with my arthritis.
I'm excited my book finally arrived
Good! You'll see that the videos follow the book, but expand on it a lot. The great thing about the book is that once you've seen the videos, it functions as a reference that you can use easily.
Oh me oh my ! How wonderful to have you in my life to guide me in this unknown phase of my life. Thank you for instilling knowledge into me at the tender age of 50. Thank you 🙏🏼
I only wish every woman had this information at a young age. That's my mission. And welcome aboard, my dear.
If you watch my videos in order, there's absolutely nothing you won't understand.
Hello from Costa Rica!!
Just found you and I am sooo glad! I am 54 years old and starting to miss my period and experiencing my first hot flashes. OMG I knew it was coming!
I want to learn as much as I can, so will be watching every single video.
I do need the handout though, where can I find it?
Thank you so much for these videos and looking forward to seeing them all!
Welcome aboard, Maria. I'm here to help you.
Gail Sheehy had started the conversation about Menopause in the early 90's, but the 2002 cancer scare drove everybody away. When I started peri-menopause, everybody just said to forget about hormones because of the cancer risk. Now I am I hearing that the cancer risk isn't nearly as big as they thought back then, but women and doctors are still afraid.
Yes, fear is the most paralyzing emotion on earth. Unfortunately, fear has really made it difficult for women to get the information they need. You deserve to know ALL the benefits and ALL the risks, and then make your own decision.
If you want me to give you the information you deserve and tailor it all to YOU, please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I'm going to be 52 on August this year and I'm not in menopause yet but I sure do feel lousy I'm depressed has anxiety mood swings and feel ugly inside and out I am not looking forward to having it either
I am going to help you see that your menopause can be the very best time in your life. And I'm going to give you so many options for embracing it your way. Please watch my videos. I promise you it can be so much better.
Nice to watch your video. I resting at home ..recovery from such horrible surgery. I think invited my menopause came instantly without choice. So mad to be woman. Too much suffering . Me 57 age ..perfect hormones and menopause refused to arrive.. lots too much blood and survive by blood transfusion. Ridiculous life
Well, your recovery is the perfect time to get this eduction.

I just started watching your videos. Wish I knew this 10 years ago. What can I do to find a Dr. To listen to me about how I feel and do what is necessary to make my menopause journey the best part of my life. I live in Fayetteville NC and it it so hard to find a Dr. Who will listen to you. I simply gave up and have been miserable for 10 years. The process of finding a Doctor is very time consuming and expensive. Trying to get in for an appt can take from 3 to 6 weeks. I have good insurance and live a very comfortable life.
My husband does not understand he always says well you are not like you used to be. He jokes that I have been going thru menopause for a long time. I am at the lowest point in my life now when I should be enjoying life. I am existing not living.
Since my hysterectomy at the age of 47 I have not been on any HRT. Every Doctor I have seen does not want to do anything. They have their biased opinions. I just quit going to them and almost gave up until I found you thru Angie Hot&Flashy. Now I have hope that things will get better.
I am going to watch all of your videos in order. I am on number 5 now. But what can I do when I am empowered with the information you give me in finding the right Dr. In a timely manner.
Thank you so much for doing these videos. You Absolutely ROCK!!
Just started watching your videos today. I already love you. :)
I am hitting 50 this year and going through the symptoms for the past few years. I love all the information you are giving us and I love your personality. I try to dress nicely in the office too. I am sooo glad I found you. Could you recommend any docs in the Los Angeles area? Thank you for everything!!
I would love a recommendation for a dr in temecula too. If you get a great one will you reach out to me? Moved here from colorado
Brilliant information! Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos and educate myself on menopause! "It's all about me" Thank you!

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.
Thank you, Barbie!
wish I would have known you and 1987 when I was 17 and undiagnosed with endometriosis until age 26. 🤪 I went through 10 doctors and was told everything in the book except given a diagnosis. And the last lady got it. And she performed a laparoscopy and I had a baby 3 years later ☺️
You'll love my videos on Endometriosis when you get to them (But don't jump ahead!)
In fact, watching my videos will probably make you a bit miffed about many things that you will learn now, but should have been informed about long ago. But, at least you will learn them.
May I just say, ''Thank you'' for making these videos,and compliment,your beautiful skin :)
Oh, you're so sweet. Thank you!
What a great video to watch this morning. Your passion is contagious!
Oh, you are so very kind, my dear.

i like thinking of us as a powerful group thank you 🙌 thank u for your videos i’m going thru each one. I’m talking about it with all my friends who feel shamed about it. My besty just made a dr appointment. I hope I get a decent dr on monday😳 my last one just smirked at me and offered nothing.
I'm here to help you if you don't succeed in getting what you want. Just schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME so that you don't burn any more bridges
Wow so this confirms my concern that a regular obgyn isn’t going to know the best way to treat you…. Wow so glad to have this resource
Yeah I don’t want them to substitute my judgement for theirs if they are wrong!
It's not necessarily that they are wrong. The problem is that they have no education on menopause whatsoever. If you get the menopause education, you will know 90% more than most doctors.
@@MenopauseTaylor Wow
I am definitely empowered with the education you are giving! Thank you!
And you're going to rule the world, my dear! And you'd be good at it.
Thank you for doing this it’s amazing information. I researched tone and tone of doctors tubers about menopause never encounter an boat load of information like you. Love it! God bless
You are so very welcome, my dear. I am all about ensuring that you get the EDUCATION you deserve. If you have that, your menopause management will be successful because you'll know what you're doing. If you don't have an education, you'll be shooting in the dark.
I have 10 children. The oldest is 27, the youngest is almost 2. I am 49.
I am having trouble with my menopause boobs. I have spent my working years getting up at 3 am and exercising to DVD'S since age 22. I had little tiny bloops of nothing until age 40 and I just woke up one morning and almost had a heart attack. Progesterone cream on my boobs fixed that for a number of years. I am now 58 and it no longer works and I am trying to figure out bras and my Mom passed the year I was 40. I don't understand this. I could have used these things at 25, but now they are useless and hurt my back. I am having major trouble purchasing bras to support these useless lumps on my chest. You are wonderful for all the good info. I am sure I am not the only person having trouble with this issue
Ann,
This is something that would warrant a one-on-one consultation, which you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. Your situation is very personal, and would require tailoring a lot of different issues specifically to you.
Wow.. This is so eye opening...
It is, isn't it. When you stop to think about these things, you really begin to embrace menopause in an entirely different way.
😁 vid#4 down, at least I now have an informative place to spend those insomniac meno-moments.
Many hugs to you for doing this for all of us women and men that want to understand the changes in the women in their life..
You are so welcome, my dear. Just keep watching these videos in order, and you will understand everything.
Thank you, I feel so different about menopause now - I feel positive. Love your hat 😄
Oh, I love knowing this! You are going to learn (and laugh) a lot.
Thank you, enlightening. You are appreciated!
That's good to know. Thank you!
Your so compassionate and loving. Thank you ❤️💕
Thank YOU! I so appreciate your kind comment.
oh my gosh...you are so cute...i so enjoy your seriousness, your truthfulness, your passion but also your light heartedness....and as menopausal women we need what you are gifting us. it is a gift btw...SW
Thank you so much for your sweet message. I love giving you this education.
I can't wait to get your book
It wi; be so good for you to have it. You'll be able to see where we're going, and it will be a great reference in the future when you need to revisit a topic.
LOVE your videos. Thanks for info
Oh, Elizabeth, you're so welcome. I'm glad your watching and learning.
Thank you......
Than you for these videos, my biggest issue is with mood swings
That's the case for many women. I'll be covering mood swings, irritability, and depression in detail. As with all hormonal shifts throughout our lives (puberty, pregnancy, PMS), mood changes are a huge part of what women deal with.
If you want to jump ahead, get my book and go to Chapter 15. It has a bunch of management options if you don't want to wait for the videos. (It will be many months before we get to this in the videos.)
Thank you and I have definitely been spreading the word about your videos many of my friends are going through different phases of menopause in the ones who have watch the videos are very impressed and thankful
I mean the ones who have watched the videos are very impressed and thankful
Thank you, Vicky. It will so wonderful for you and your girlfriends to have this knowledge and be able to communicate on an educated level. You'll feel sorry for those friends who aren't watching the videos. But, readiness is everything. And, with time, they'll get in on them, too.
Thank you for supplying this information...I'm watching your videos and enhancing my knowledge on what's going on with me...I want to tell you what g
Happened at my last yearly appointment, a comment from my obgyn...I'm a woman at the time age 50 with a partial hysterectomy. I walk into the exam room am my Dr says...well the warranty on your ovaries are running out..and gave me no more information. I left the appointment dumfounded and scared. Thank you for this information...education and arming me with knowledge
Oh, Tonja! I'm so sorry about that inappropriate comment. I can assure you that if you watch my video in order you'll understand everything, and you'll get the education you deserve.
I can't believe that I'm the first person to ever teach women what they all deserve to know about their own bodies (in a language they can understand).
Yes I’ve already outlived my mother @50 🌹
Found you through +Anna Garrett and +Dominique Sachse:) Just downloaded the handoout and worksheet from your website and am ready to go:) lol I love your style and common-sense approach to menopause. Although you are extremely intelligent, you are never arrogant.
Renee, welcome to my channel.
I'm somewhat of an odd-ball. I'll never TELL you what to do. Rather, I'll take the time to explain all the facts, delineate all the pros and cons of each option, and help you tailor the information to your preferences and needs.
The most important thing is that everything will make sense. I'm not trying to sell you anything or coerce you to do things a certain way. I truly believe that if you have accurate information, you'll make the best decisions for yourself. And I want you to laugh while you learn.
you are the BEST!!!
Well, thank you so much for that!
So yeah, we should definitely all hang out, lol.
Absolutely! It would constitute "menopower!"
Thank you
I love you, thank you.
God Bless you, lovely lady! Thank you so much!!!
You are so very welcome, my dear.
Thank you.. just what I needed! Where do I find the downloads for the videos so I can follow along?
They're in the text portion of the video. Alternatively, you can get them on my website: MenopauseTaylor.ME. I'm so glad you're watching and learning. I love doing this for you.
Can I just say.....I love you!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!
Yes, you may definitely say that, and I will definitely be honored. Thank you so much for appreciating what I have to offer.
This is the menopause education you deserve. And if you watch all my videos in order, you will definitely understand everything.
If you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I was so unprepared for menopause.
Exactly. The vast majority of women are unprepared. And it's just as ridiculous as being unprepared for your child to experience puberty. But, now you have me to make sure you know everything.
Just watch my videos in order and I can assure you that everything will make perfect sense.
What an amazing video x love it ! 🙏😁😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, my dear.
I love your necklace!
Ah, thank you, mu dear. You'll see a lot of fun necklaces on my channel.
You are awesome!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are very kind to write that. Thank you.
If you watch these videos in order, starting with the very first one, you will definitely understand everything. And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylorME.
Omigawd! Thank-you!!!

I am really enjoying your videos. Thank you. I have felt fortunate because I have made a smooth transition into menopause. I took hormones when I was young (in my 20s) and now take levothyroxine. Do you think it had any bearing on my menopause?
No, I don't think either the hormones you took when you were young or the levothyroxine you take now had any bearing on your menopause. You're just fortunate! But if you hadn't diagnosed your thyroid problem, things would not have been as smooth. And you might have mistaken some of your thyroid symptoms as symptoms of menopause. It's good that you were on top of things.
Thank you! That is good to know! :-)
U are awesome 😀
As are you!
I can't find where to print out the worksheet, thank you
Sheryl,
If you don't see it in the descriptive section of the video, do the easiest thing: go to my website. It's MenopauseBarbie.ME
Scroll down to just below my photo. You'll see four boxes. The first box will have the outline notes. The second box will have the worksheet. You can print them both free of charge. (The outline notes are almost 100 pages. Make sure you have enough paper.)
All of your videos are great! I had a great aunt who lived to be 102 and cooked her own food lived in her own home and wrote her own letters. So now that I am using the Estradiol/ Climara patch I have bene told Monistat any any other anti fungal is very bad but not in those words. I have reoccurring yeast infections ow to I treat this naturally?
I am desperate and itchy! Will pay for advice. You can do consultations and change people.
I do consultations! Schedule one.
If you want a consultation, go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule one. I do them on Skype, FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, as well as in-person.
You can include all the things you want to cover when you fill out the form, and then send me any labs or tests you've had. That way, I can incorporate everything into the session. I'll create a personalized document addressing all your concerns, and send it to you at least one day before our session. That way, you 'll have time to read it in advance. It's usually 6 - 12 pages long.
Then, I'll have all sorts of props and models to show you during the consultation, and we'll make great headway. You'll understand everything and have all the options tailored specifically to YOU.
Thanks for getting back to me. I have a bunch of doctors appointments coming up and I will talk to my hubby about it after thanks again!
If you have a consultation with me, you can send me all your labs and tests so that I can incorporate them into your session. I'm all about tailoring things TO YOU.
thanks! I could not wait on the yeast thing and had my doctor look into it for me. His surgery days are Mondays and I didn't think I could reach him but turns out he didn't have surgery today! but I will keep you in mind for next time.
I'm just glad you won't continue to suffer.
Thank You!😇
It's my pleasure!
Hi! Thank you for all you share here. Since you lived in Spain, could you meet any good medical doctor who works similar to you that you would recommend us?
Nobody can "recommend" a doctor. You have to FIND a doctor who will help you manage YOUR menopause YOUR way. I can help you determine how to do that in a consultation. That's because it all depends on HOW you want to manage YOUR menopause.
Thank you! 🙏💛
It's my absolute pleasure!
Hi Barbie , where I can printout those 80 pages and work sheet . Thanks
Try going to my website: MenopauseBarbie.ME
(Note that it's .ME and not .com.)
Scroll to just below my photo. You'll see four boxes. The first one is Menopause Barbie Outline Notes. You'll find them there and you can print them out. We've added a link in the descriptive section of the videos, but it was added after this video (#4).
Women power:))👊
You got it!
Interesting and informative channel! And interesting lifestyle!

@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you! I am at video nr. 9 now and I am planning to watch them all, in order, of course :) -it's a joy. I have never found anything on this subject presented more clearly, logically and at the same time so entertaining!
@@chrisbruch9552 I'm so glad this is giving you the menopause education you deserve, my dear. I won't let you down.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you :)
