So glad menopause is coming out of the proverbial closet! Not taboo as in my mothers generation
We are not out of the closet yet. stil far from it. l the medical community has little information on how to treat it especially with hrt, most doctors get about 1 hour of training for menopause, people in general see it as taboo or for older women who health and beauty let alone fertility and sensuality is going out the window. Main stream media hardly has anything to say about it. Even young femele doctors have little information and may not know how to best help women going through menopause as the younger females are, the less they see they have in common with older women.
I'm 46 and the oldest living person in my family, cancer has taken everyone else...it's changed how I do everything about life
That is heartbreaking. 🙏
🙏🏽
I'm so, so sorry for your losses. Virtual hug straight on it's way to you in ......3,2,1 ❤❤❤❤❤
My mom is in a memory care unit now and she has osteoporosis ... it makes me incredibly sad ... and I think the medical community let her and women down b/c of that women study in the 90s. She most likely would have been on hormones or may be not ... however, I dont want to end up like my mother so I'm reading all I can and do all I can to live healthier. And I'm passing on information to my loved ones. Thank you!
@maryla, my heart goes out to you. I’m so sorry about your mom. 💔 I pray you are comforted. 🙏🏻
You...I have it now . Get checked ..now!
You described women in my family--either cancer in their 60s or cognitive and physical decline into their 80s. Your channel gives me hope.
Horrible really,I am 62 and like the saying go . After 60 your going down the hill . 🥵🥴🥺
I’m 48 and starting this process. Thinking about the script I want to write for myself after 50. It’s scary to think we’re beholden to our genes and maternal health legacy. Thank you for providing an empowering approach to staying healthy and engaged in life.
Starting hrt today so I can hopefully feel more well so I can do better with my aging. I'm 52.
Good on you . Helped me sailing true troubled water . 👍☮️
At 51 I am thinking about these things too. Thank you for educating us and being an advocate for us in this phase of life. I think it’s good to use as much knowledge as we currently have to create a better future for ourselves AND to be an example for the next generation. ❤
I'm with you on this journey. I cared for my mom and those last 10 yrs of her life were far from ideal 🥺
I’m so grateful for my activella .5 dose of HRT at 44 w evil perimenopause this is helping regain who I was before this nonsense began! Thank u dr for being such a strong advocate for us❤
It’s lifestyle that’s it. Drink alcohol, eat like crap, do not exercise and you will live a life of misery. Do the opposite and you will live a healthy life. No matter menopause or not it’s about your lifestyle
@@ErinMcDermottOver50 absolutely! Yoga and meditation has helped me in such positive ways as well

I just watched your video on your menopause journey. I’m sorry to hear about your intense hot flashes, brain fog, less energy, recovery, etc. Sounds rough. :/ From the video, it sounds like you encourage women to consider HRT. Are you considering it for yourself? You are an inspiration being so fit, and you have gorgeous hair! I just started strength training, and what you said about finding it harder to get stronger motivates me even more to keep building strength before menopause hits! Thank you! ❤
@@PeaceIsYeshua I’m encourage all women to get educated on the topic and make their own informed decision. But it comes down to lifestyle habits
I wish I would’ve found you sooner. I’ve learned so much from you! Unfortunately I’m in that decade (just turned 64) where HRT was a NO! I started estradiol last year (vaginally) but I had to ask for it and currently am on the search for a new Dr through NAMS. 🤞🏻
Update to this post- just had a visit with new provider and she agreed to estradiol patch and progesterone! Finally! Thank you so much for giving me the tools to be informed and advocate for myself!
@@pamlutzow1422I’m 59 and I got a no for estrogen I don’t understand why so many gynecologists don’t understand that we as women need estrogen, i am so mad and don’t know what to do.
Yes I have seen my mom really struggle with age not doing hormone therapy I am trying to do anything to not be as sick as she is all the time
As a 56 year old who”completed “ menopause 1-2 years ago…..is there any hope for using HRT at this post-stage of the game. Thankfully, because of you, now see my symptoms are COMPLETELY estrogen deficiency related.
@Gwendolyn, yes!! It’s not too late for you, and id someone tells you it is, get other opinions (most agree to start within 10 years or age 60). Some docs recommend HRT for life. ❤
My genetics, at least on one side, are obesity, pre-diabetic/diabetic, arthritic and joint replacement needed (hip & knee). Doing all I can to help myself too!
Get hormones..help with joints
And if you have a stressful family situation that's not easy to resolve or relationship problems, financial stress etc ..all can accrue in life at any time and can go on for years. Difficult to sleep well, focus or have time for good self care. Yes we have to make our health priority, make ourselves priority. We can't take care of others if we aren't doing well, WE ALL know this but the reality is often just keeping all the balls in the air
Doing all you know to do, then pray and allow Jesus to lift you up. Positive mental attitude.
Battle of the mind!
I’m praying about when/if to start HRT, but I love knowing that in the end, HE is all that matters! It centers me and gives me peace. God bless you! ❤😊
Yes, we do what we can!
Have you considered not drinking/eating dairy?
Seems like it’s related to breast cancer.
I read about it, and I watched documentaries, one of them been Forks over knives. They talk about a lot of researches that back that up….
TYSM for sharing with us, so much information that women are not given! I'm 47 & really struggling with my hair texture has changed, I've gained 25lbs in a yr, w no dietary changes. I'm having non stop 🥵🔥
The woman in my family get big bums and go from very skinny to very large but their brains are pretty good. I see this happening to me and I feel at loss of control- I need to do this!
I see it as a good thing girl
That's difficult honesty.🙏🏾Thanks for being so honest.🌹
Buying the hard copy of your book and will be bringing it to all future doctor appointments. I am absolutely done with condescending answers or being blown off. Thank you so much for focusing on nutrition and for shining a light on HRT. This is the way.
I'm in my 70s and not one medical provider ever discussed menopause and hormones with me, ran any tests, or made any recommendations. A lot of women just suffer through.
so proud of how you’ve chosen to use your talents ❤❤🎉❤Our friends, sisters and daughters will lead more healthy lives
I just ordered the book, can’t wait to read it.
Literally flipped a page to Amazon and bought it!! Can't wait to read and learn more! Thank you for doing what you do..
I am thinking about autoimmune disease. I had a lot of trauma. So hopefully ended works
Thank you SO much! We have needed someone like you for years to guide us! 🙌🙏💝
My OBGYN put me on estradiol 1mg daily a month in caused me a stroke had Tee done spent 6 days in hospital recovering well.
Thats scary hope u r doing well
I'm going to live to be 100 according my maternal genetics lol. I'm 53 now so technically middle aged, and I want to be healthier as I get older!!!😁
We are long lived without cancer or fragility, but that’s not without any health issues. My only issue is a destroyed right knee that the orthopedic surgeons don’t seem to think is a priority to fix for me. I have bone on bone all three knee compartments, two torn menisci, edema of the tibia and femur, chronic tendinitis, 4 ossified floaters in the joint and the largest bone spurs they’ve ever seen. All I got was a steroid injection that’s only made my knee worse. They look at me as a middle age SAHM and think why bother. I have three children and I need to keep up with them. How come that’s not seen as worthwhile? I’m feeling invalidated as a person who needs actual medical care and all these ortho surgeons see is middle age mom. I’m taking care of my elderly mother and today I took her shopping to get her out of the house. My knee was in agony pushing her around the stores. I don’t show that because I don’t want her to feel bad.
I'm 53, I'm on H.R.T and I have been following your channel.I thank you so much.
I was diagnosed at 39 in total menopause. It hasn't been fun.
I am 60 my labs said my hormones were at a critical level & I am at a critical level my holistic Dr wants to put me on hrt.
Just do it!
You have helped me so much. Thank you for making this ship show easier. ❤❤❤❤
You are amazing. I am so grateful for your knowledge and your sharing it
I have suffer so much during my menopause... doctors treat us like everything is in our minds... hypochondriasis some told me... I feel hopeless... I'm gonna try everything you recommend, thank you. (There is cancer in my family history and they wouldn't recommend hormones. 😓
So glad to learn from you ❤
You look amazing 🎉❤
2024 And woman are still suffering. All over the world ! Thank god there are some doctors who really care and understand . 🥺
I am presently reading your book. It is packed with a lot of information. I want to find out how to maintain my weight loss once I’ve finished with your diet.
In the book Dr. Haver talks about how to switch from the fat loss stage to maintenance. You switch up the macros to reduce the fat and increase the carbs but you do it very slowly. Its part of Chapter 10.

Doc, I'm 48, perimenopausal, on bioidentical hormones of estrogen and testosterone. I'm doing very well on it. I recently went in for an op to remove a cyst, and they found I have stage 3 endometriosis. I was told to be careful of estrogen but when I stopped it, my moods plummeted and I became severely depressed. I have the mirena in now to help with the excessive bleeding. My gynie feels that if I think the benefits of the bioidentical hormones outweigh the risk for me, I should continue. I have now started again, but don't know if this is a good or bad idea. Luckily no kids for me, I'm heading fullsteam to menaupase, but please can you address this issue. I believe that a large number of women suffer from endometriosis and don't even know it, especially if the periods are heavy. How do we balance this out with the need for estrogen.
I had endometriosis. They didn't treat perimenopause when I was 37. I am in menopause now & take HRT for symptoms but reduced my intake to every other day so as not to stimulate the tissue. It's not as effective as the daily dose but this has helped mitigate the symptoms for me - maybe this would help for peri-men?
What a trailblazer 🔥 🔥
Are there any options for women who can't take HRT?
I think you look great for your age!
She looks great for any age!
On the contrary, women in my family apparently have good genes.My grandmother passed away of COVID-19 at 93, my mom is 72 and doing well,but I seem to be the worst of them, as before my 40th birthday I found out I have many health issues. I have been eating almost healthy home made food for several years and I sleep a lot, bever somoked or drank alcohol, however my health is deteriorating. Stress and past trauma are the main causes I think but also starting peri/menopause early is another cause. HRT is not an option where I live so I have to focus on nutrition, exercise and natural therapies.
I have tried to discuss my hormones with my Dr.’s and they just blow me off!! I am 45 and have such a wacky cycle. I get my period twice a month. Who can I talk to about HRT and actually be heard?
I'm 46, not yet perimenopausal. I am preparing for it 😊 healthy ageing
Consider looking into generational curses (books) ❤ the lie is that it is genetics 🤔 something going on spiritually that doesn’t hurt to research.
There is definitely a spiritual battle going on!
James 4:7
King James Version

I love you and need your advice as I start my menopause journey. But just one little piece of advice passed down for generations of women in my family… iron your shirt😂😂😂
I SO appreciate your transparency!
Omg …congratulations…I was thinking you are my age 46🎉❤
She does look fantastic!!
I'm currently reading it. I am making a decision to age well.
I am definitely following you for your knowledge, but can we pause for sec and admire that beautiful ring? it is gorgeous! what stone it is? tanzanite? topaz?
Welcome to the community! It is a sapphire. ~ XO Community Support Team
I have so many friends and coworkers that are menopausal and afraid to take any hormone replacement therapy.
Wow you look really good at 56 !
Much younger then average
Thank thank you!! My family genetics are similar!! ❤
Thank you so much for all your help! Your eyes look amazing. Mine are all red and crackly. Any suggestions?
Is there anything for men like this? I’ve looked and can’t find much on men’s aging well. I know some of this info is valuable regardless of sex but would love to see some recommendations for the husbands who are also lacking access to good healthcare
What is the first thing I need to do to get through this menopause? I take something over the counter and works about 30% of the time. Not enough for me. I know you’re talking about the aging process here and yes, I just turned 55! I can’t even believe that’s coming out of my mouth. It’s making me think so much more about aging and what that’s going to look like. Scared to death! We don’t really have cancer in over family all that much. It’s more of problems with the heart and digestive issues. Last but not least dementia! Not really sure where to start with that, any of it. Do I go to my doctor? Gynecologist? Nutritionist? I’m just confused but also scared to start acknowledging the fact that it’s time! I also take vitamins and try to follow what you talk about on your channel. The whole thing just gets overwhelming. If you could help, I’d appreciate that. 😊
Have you read Dr. Haver's new book, The New Menopause? It is a comprehensive guide about how to live through menopause. You can buy it anywhere books are sold.

Dr Mary, Please comment on the shortage of hormone patches at the moment. Here in Australia it has been three months since I could access my low dose 140/50 Estalis patch which was effective and easy to use. Is the situation the same in the States??
Thanks for your advice and opinions, ❤ from Australia. 🤓
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. New subscriber here!!
I can't take hormone therapy as I had her-2 breast cancer. Surely that's not the only way to deal with menopause.
My ancestors were strong, engaged and brilliant until their 90s and died of “old age.” They were never inconvenienced with prescriptions nor supplements bc they made healthy and wise choices. It’s not a wealth issue. It’s a self reverence issue.
If I have hpv then I am not a candidate for hrt correct? I have had part of my cervix removed and am experiencing worse symptoms now such as hot flashes and heart palpitations. I thought that I was through with all of that but it is back with a vengeance. I am 56 years old. Last night I did some cardio and my heart rate was up. It took a long time to come down. I read that happens in menopause and that it causes anxiety which I am also having again. My gyno oncologist appointment is next month and I am afraid that my hpv will turn into cancer. My doctor says that would be a long way off but it gives me a lot of anxiety and I want to start hrt.
Looking for a practitioner who provides the bio-identical pellets in my area..Southern California, would it be possible to obtain a link? Thank you for creating this new conversation. There is truly a gap in our wellness as we age.
good for you 👏 what hormonal treatments are you using
Check out her previous videos, or read her book. SO much great info!
GREAT CONTENT🤌🏼🙌🏼
I’m 37 and I recently started getting terrible migraines at the end of my cycle. I started taking Magnesium Glycinate and B2 but it didn’t help last month. What should I be taking for when my estrogen level drops, which may be what is happening?
I'm 81 and the problem I'm having is the doctor's act like well you've lived your life let's don't do anything now. But I don't have a lot of serious problems that would be killing but I do have a whole bunch that makes you uncomfortable
That's in my family, too. I will grab that book. Thank you . I want to be healthy at 80 and above . Can we balance out hormones on our own with herbal meds after we get our hormones up. numbers up. I'm 59. Thank you for advocating for us
Thanks for your help. Tell me, may a postmenopause woman take calcium?
❤ dont worry be healthy you got this. Get a ukelele& learn to play❤
@Linda, I love that! 🥰 🎸🌺🌴🎸🌺🌴🎸🌺🌴🎸
Hey Doc-what magnesium glycinate do you use?
For my mother at the age of 72, is it worth giving her hormone therapy?
Thank you.❤
That is a conversation to have with a menopause educated doctor to weigh her individual health benefits to risks. It shouldn't be an automatic no and vaginal estradiol is safe to take at any age.

My wonder if it's feasible to give an older woman hormones (my mom in her 80's), to give her better health.
I have a history of a superficial thrombus. Is this a contraindication to taking estrogen?
Transdermal estradiol patches do not increase the risk of blood clots because they are not processed in the liver.
~ XO Community Support Team
Sounds like my family
Can overweight people, or those with T2D (well controlled with diet) possibly have hormone therapy?
Transdermal estradiol and oral micronized progesterone are very safe and not contraindicated based on weight or diabetes.
~ XO Community Support Team
Do you need progesterone if you still have ovaries but no uterus?
God holds us in the Land of the living. All the cards are in his hand 📖🔍kjv
Again. I missed out on hrt because of blood clots and breast cancer. Are there still benefits to taking Estrogen at 64?
There are many people on YT talking about HRT. I’d get several opinions. From what I’ve heard, I think you’d be okay. Don’t take oral estrogen due to clot/stroke risk. 🔍 HRT cancer.
🖤🖤
Doctor can a high testosterone level in a women detaches her from being a women or equalize her to a man ?
Dementia is not hereditary;)
Who got my money 🤑🤑🤑 today?? 😊😊😊😊
May allah protect all of us xx
But you can't stay on HRT indefinitely. It isn't safe.
Lots of doctors on YT disagree with that. ❤️
@PeaceIsYeshua and lots of doctors would agree with that. I have friends who have had breast cancer who have been advised by their consultants to avoid HRT. I know many women who are now postmenopausal and who never took HRT. Finally, it should never be taken indefinitely. Women have to stop taking it at some point.
@@iot577
I really do believe those are old school beliefs based on old and flawed studies. ❤️
@PeaceIsYeshua can you point to research supporting your belief, please? I have friends who have abandoned HRT due to its side effects.
@@iot577
I recommend listening to OBGYNs on UA-cam who are speaking out, like this one, for example-she gives a lot of evidence. Karen Martel, Menopause Taylor, there are so many.
And 🔍 HRT cancer and you’ll find more evidence! There’s even a short video of a lady who had breast cancer and got back on HRT. I hope this helps. :)
