You have been saving my life. With all the money the drs want and told me nothing, I can only hope you are doing okay financially. I want nothing but the best for you. Off to watch more videos. Thank you so much.
Why do i feel you are my angel to my rescue. Lately i came across your vlogs and heaved a sigh of relief ! Have no words to express the joy i have felt to know your expertise on women health. Bless you ! Stay safe from Covid 19 .😇
I'm looooving your video blogs. You're absolutely lovely! Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. I've been having so many changes in my body. All of a sudden I've been feeling all sorts of aches and pains, and just really off. It just did not occur to me that they were menopause related. Now I know, and I know how to manage them. May God bless you abundantly. Thank you so so so much for your lovely work!!!
Eileen, thank you so much for all your videos. I love how you explain things so simply, with just enough scientific info (lol.) I have noticed changes in my body, and know that it is essential that I really start taking care of myself. You know what it's like for us women. We tend to look after everyone else, and forget about 'US.' I am so happy to go on this journey, and will let you know how it's going. Thank you once again for all the years of research and sacrifices you would have made to get to this point in your life, and to share it with us. God bless you xxx.
Hi Alison Thank you so much for your lovely comments and great to hear that you find the format helpful! Yes, we often put ourselves last on out list of priorities so taking care of yourself is really important in the menopause. Please do let me know how you get on and if you have any specific queries you are welcome to email me directly eileen.durward@avogel.co.uk Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk Thank you Eileen. I have bought the plant based protein powder, and have taken it for two days now. I have also been doing intermittent fasting for the past four months, and have lost a stone and a half. I can really see the importance of taking care of ourselves, especially when our bodies are not producing, and behaving like they used to lol. I will keep you up-dated xxx.
Such great helpful and informative content. I'm perimenopausal and feeling it! BUT am making positive changes, thanks to your tips and videos. Keep up the great work, it's so appreciated.
I watch your videos and they are very informative .i did a hysterectomy 5yrs ago (2016) only my uterus was removed. I'm just 50yr-old, going through a lot with menopause, dizziness, shortness of breath, my body vibrates inside sometimes, I feel like I'm in a boat so it's a lot a change s happen to my body right now, I am taking evening primrose oil, Verain, and Dandelion leaf tea
Hi Sharmaine Great to hear that you find the videos informative, thank you! You may find a Sea Buckthorn Oil capsule can help with the breathlessness and just check that you are drinking enough plain water every day as dehydration can contribute to all your symptoms. Do also get your blood pressure checked by your doctor or pharmacist as low BP could cause dizziness and vertigo. Best Wishes Eileen
I love your kindness and calmess. Are you a medical doctor? Dried fruits have lot of sugar. So we should only eat little? I love dates. Can i just eat 2 mejol dates before bed although i do not want to have diabetes?
Thank you for your kind comments! Yes, a very small portion of dried fruit is fine now and again. They do contain lots of magnesium and calcium which is very good for you. It is known that the composition of mejool dates means that the sugar is released very slowly compared to other dried fruits so a couple before bed would be great for keeping blood sugars balanced in the night. Best Wishes Eileen
You haven't mentioned meat what type. I eat beef and chicken eggs, nuts and seeds. I think I may be a bit dehydrated as some night sleep less than others. Sleep never great. Thanks for your great advice.
Generally avoid processed meat and focus on organic, grass fed meat to reduce their impact on your hormones. Eggs, nuts and seeds are great too. If you think you are dehydrated you may want to try calculating how much water you need for your body. Multiply your body weight in kg by 0.033 to get a baseline of how much water your body needs each day. If you drink coffee, black tea or alcohol, or exercise to the point of sweating, you need to add more water again. For sleep you can try our Dormeasan drops - www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/valerian-hops-dormeasan/ I hope this helps!

Hi I am thankful that I came across your videos I am 51 , no periods since 6 months, and I am having symptoms of menopause like I can feel my heart palpitations, I am not at all active, emotionally I am getting weak, all kinds of negativity I see in my self. I feel I cant even concentrate. Is this normal for ev1 What should I do ?
Hi Munzeen This is a really common emotional scenario and many women can feel like this at some point through the menopause. You may find the Herb Maca can help with this as it is known to ease anxiety, low mood, fatigue- I recommend a liquid one from a company called Health Aid. I would also add in some magnesium as this is known to help with palpitations. Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Doctor Waghulade Inflammation of the mucus membranes anywhere in the body can be affected and this can include the mouth and throat. I would suggest a supplement called Sea Buckthorn.

Hi Michelle Why not try a protein powder shake drink one a day as this can help give you the nutrients you need until your appetite returns Best Wishes Eileen
Blood levels can look fine but some people do need more than others which could be due to metabolism, physiology or digestion. Why not try a supplement for a month to see how you get on; magnesium tends to work quite quickly so you would know by then whether it would be of benefit or not.
The problem with already ground seeds is that they can go rancid fairly quickly. They are best kept in the fridge if you do buy them. I buy them ground as well as whole.
Hi Maria Both can be very beneficial although ground seeds tend to be more versatile; you can put them in more foods and they are more easily digested.
Hi Li lo Fibroids can occur whether you have a husband or not or whether you have had children or not. If you have had fibroids diagnosed, did your doctor not offer you any treatment? Best Wishes Eileen

Hi I'm 50 years old and I just started the manopause I used every month I was taking iron pills when I had my monthly days I just want to now I must still taking the iron pills yes or no?
Hi Helen In most cases you shouldn't need iron after periods have stopped but, if you are vegetarian or vegan you may be more prone to anaemia. If you're worried then it is best to ask your doctor for an iron test to see if you still have to take it. Best Wishes Eileen
