Weight loss in menopause and keeping your money in your wallet!
Here I am telling you things you may already know.
Don't fall for ANY company claiming that their product will help you lose weight. Case and point being Happy Mammoth.
You won't want to read this but your weight loss starts in the kitchen, and being kind to yourself. That is is ONE big thing you can do to help you. Plan your food out, and don't fall for anyone selling snake oil. Literally. Unless you get it professionally tested, don't fall for any BS you see or read about losing weight effortlessly.
It all starts with putting your body in the best place possibly to lose weight and feel healthy. Giving yourself loose bowels is not how you do it.
Please message me if I can help any more.

Facial massage for 'number 11' between your eyebrows!
You look lovely with gray!
Lol this video cracked me up, thank you for posting this! I keep seeing these ads and I was curious but deep down I know that either old school weight watchers or intermittent fasting are what actually work for me. A pill isn't ever going to do the work for me.
1 year this month! 😊
It sounds like you're over exercising. That can increase your cortisol level and bring your hormones out of balance. Another thing, I'm taking the hormone harmony and it has helped me relax and reduce stress and slow myself down. My apettite also decreased. I don't know if I've lost weight because of it, but I certainly didn't put any weight on. So it's definitely doing something for me! I'm 41 at the moment so I don't know if that helps. I'm happy to try this, as sellsy as it might be, than HRT, hands down. At least it's a lot less likely to be messing up with my hormones even more.
These do not make you loose weight. False advertising
Helps you sleep because of the ashwagandha
Hi can you link the collagen you use from Amazon? Greatly appreciate it. What you are stating is oh so true! I try to explain all this to women and they don’t want to hear it. I worked in women’s healthcare as an OR nurse from many many years (25 yrs) and yep no magic pill anywhere!
If you click onto the description bit I have the link for the collagen there. x
You’ve saved me!! Thank you 🙏🏾
Hurrah!!!! Z
Ella tiene razón , pase 3 meses pagando por un suplemento excesivamente caro y no perdí ni 1 libra .
I really enjoy your videos. Please carry on.
thank you!
Thanks so much for the honest review
You are so welcome. X
Your hair cut and color is gorgeous
I want to but hubby doesn’t want me to go gray. Actually my hair is white.
I think its great, works for me
Hi, what collagen do you use?
I use a brand called Ossa. You can find it on Amazon. I put a link in the description. A bag lasts 2 months for me.
Thank you Elizabeth! 100% Agree with all of your recommendations. I would add "stay away from seed oils". Not sure if it's as bad over the pond as it is here in the USA, but we are flooded with foods containing seed oils (soy lecithin, Sunflower, safflower, peanut, canola, vegetable). They're making us fat, weak and sluggish. I would also recommend checking out the Glucose Goddess. Cheers!
Thanks for this great comment! X
I’ve been using Happy Mammoth Hormone Harmony for about 3 months now. I exercise regularly too and am 54. I did sleep a little better but not every night. I still woke up but without hot flashes. My moods improved. I felt more relaxed. I was also less bloated, however absolutely no weight loss. I’m looking into trying other natural supplements that cost less. I can’t imagine spending more money if it doesn’t work.
Foraging in Greg’s 😂😂😂❤
Seriously. I've really had to have a strongly worded staff meeting with myself. Me and Belgian buns as well. Ooft. X
Ive found intermittent fasting ( only the fasting between 8pm and mid day, nothing extreme) not eating processed food, walking more 8 to 10 thousand steps a day and lifting weights ( about 3 to 5kg) has really helped me at 51 and 17 stone in january 🙈. Now down 3 stone and feel much better however waist and stomach still the same size which is annoying but i am keeping on keeping on 🤞. Great video thanks
Joanna what a great message to get! I am chuffed to bits for you. X
Brilliant video. I'm interested on the lymph drainage because ever since I tore ligaments in both my ankles and broke one last year ( obviously got weak ankles ) I get slight puffiness on the ankle joints after standing/walking for long periods which I never had before. Would you think the tennis ball would help that please? Thank you I really enjoy your videos I'm a new subscriber 🙏
Tennis ball under the feet totally for the win! It's a massage therapist party trick.
So much of what you have said resonated with me too!!! Like you say the more we know the better we can tackle issues I've already been researching muscle loss and why after a heavy physical work shift I am constantly hungry and snacking makes no difference and you are right it's lack of protein. Like you my weight difference is 2 stone heavier than I was at 30s 40s 😞 but I am shocked how much protein I should be eating for my weight and age !!!! So I am looking at ways to improve that and exercise for strength at 60's so any advice on that would be great. It's so wonderful to hear a true account from you what a lot of women are experiencing getting older. Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you for saving me money I was so tempted because of their reviews but was already beginning to think it's too good to be true. Please tell me what the collagen is you take and does it help with your joints. I have knee pain and general achy wanting to start strength training for older age. Thank you 🙏
The itchy ears!! Inside the canal. Stupid peri menopause. So this may not be the right forum for this comment but a strict keto diet, more carnivore than anything, and eliminating all sugar was the only thing that helped me. I don’t know if I need to stay this strict forever but for now it’s the best therapeutic diet. I WILL take HRT if I need to. Your information is great! I loved your advice about being aware of a geographical food needs for your own county. Northeast USA and I try to eat seasonally.
Thank you Elizabeth. I love your straightforward approach and your personality shines through. Tip: I use ACV/or ww vinegar with a crudite (carrots/cucumber) right before I eat my savory protein rich breakfast. It helps slow down the glucose and keeps me pretty steady throughout the day. Because of this, I am able to eat 2 healthy meals most days. No snacking and no added sugar is really helping me feel my best. Like you said planning is key. Will look into Joel Wix/Pippa Campbell, I'm Canadian so I am not familiar with either.
Thank YOU so much for replying! Share Canadian health heroes with me! I would love that. X
@@elizabethbandeen7869 Georgie Fear's book: Lean Habits for Lifelong Weight Loss changed my life and got me off toxic dieting. It's a book about habits not dieting. My life improved enormously once I learned how to nourish my mind and body without restriction.
THANKS FOR POSTING! Tere's a OBGYN who says companies who advertise hormone fixes are just money hungry. They know we're desperate. Frankly if doctors would listen to our concerns and prescribe HRT, these other companies would have no audience.
Addipose tissue produces estrogen, that's why women put on weight at menopause. Your own natural HRT. Good bye fat, hello osteoporosis!
That's actually good point. The body hangs into fat as a protective mechanism. Hopefully pilates, yoga, and any other resistance training can help stave off osteoporosis. It runs in the female line in my family so am super aware of it. Thank YOU for leaving a comment!
Great tips and suggestions....here's my tip for ACV, I use a shot glass with about a tablespoon of ACV mixed with an elixir of Turmeric, ginger and lemon juice (Pulp & Press brand) and take the shot w/o any touching my teeth. after that, I add mushroom powder ( Reishi and Chaga) and Maca root powder to my tea every morning. I don't get any night sweats or other meno symptoms and I know it has to do with the mushroom and Maca powders because I've run out twice while waiting for a sale to restock and I would feel very off and get the sweats. I hate taking pills so I opt for liquid multivitamins. I have been looking to try a good marine collagen but haven't made a purchase yet. I also do some lymphatic massage when I get out the shower...not always but recently started to do it again.
I love the sound of that shot you make! I'm getting involved with that. Thank YOU so much for commenting.
@@elizabethbandeen7869 No problem...your video popped up on my feed and I really enjoyed it. Can you give some recs for Collagen and have you noticed benefits since you've been using it ? Thanks
I love it... I think you need to improve the title, add end Screen, and properly add ranking tags (according to the content) in the video tags section. You should also share the video on various social media sites. That way you can easily reach a nice audience with your videos... Your dedication to your channel and the concept of your videos is really impressive. you're doing pretty well.But your content isn't getting the viewership you want...I believe this will meet all your needs... and I wish you the best on your journey on RUclips..
So kind of you with this input. I do my best but will research more with hashtags. X
Thank you. This company drives me so insane i have started officially trolling their relentless relentless facebook ads. Once you see the red flags you just can’t unsee them… and you’re 100% spot on: conveniently for them you have to buy their overpriced rubbish to “prove” anything. These people prey on women’s anxieties. Their products might not be toxic, but they’re pointless. And their marketing *is* toxic.
Elizabeth! You are THE best! I have learned a lot from this video alone. I think I will give the collagen a try. I have been logging my meals to see how much I was eating and figuring out the breakdown, and I then can visually tell I'm not up on my protein intake. So this has helped a lot lately. I lived your comment on foraging 😂😂 Have a wonderful week!
Thanks Susana . X
I got to the end of your video and am wondering if you have tried any somatic exercises? I’m currently 18 days into a 90 day somatic program that is supposed to help lower cortisol levels through stress and trauma release. I’m intentionally not checking the scale until I have completed it. 😂 But I ALMOST tried Happy Mammoth and I’m so grateful for your honesty!!!
What brand of collagen do you find most useful for you?
A brand called Ossa. Get it off Amazon. Really helped with an overactive bladder. X
I love your hair. My coloring is like yours.
Thank u so so much! U saved me. I was so tempted to try this, for perimenopause symptoms and ofc the promise of weightloss had me lured, due to struggling with hormonal issues with losing weight. GOD bless. May GOD help u find success and ease with ur health.
Saved you a fortune and wrecking your mental health even more. X
thank you.....very relevant for me!
Glad it was helpful!
🤣Thank you, so great to hear ........I'm 5 months in
Your right rabbit hole is correct
I am taking Hormone Harmony for almost 2 months. I finished the 1st bottle. Im half way of my second bottle. Im 46 yo and I have severe neck and shoulder pains a week before my period. The complexity of symptoms as we age gets worst. If it doesn’t work for you it does work for me. I am happy with the results.
Saw this too late. I just received my 3 month supply. I’m a first time user. I’m now post menopausal but still get the odd week or so of night sweats, weird skin on my face (dry rough spots), insomnia for weeks on end and an over active bladder (especially at night)…..not to mention I’m 7 stone (about 100 pounds) over the weight I was when I was perimenopausal and this whole ridiculous process started (about 9 years ago). I’ll follow up in 30 days and let you know how it’s going. Wish me luck!! BTW - the weight gain happened during the first 3 years and it came on like a freight train!! I went up 2.5 dress sizes in the first year alone with absolutely NO change to my diet at all (no increased quantity). Most of it landed in my belly (making me look 8 months pregnant) and it’s impossible to get off, even with increased activity coupled with 2 day fasts per week for a month…..which ended up with me not losing one single solitary pound; hence the reason I’m now trying Hormone Harmony so late in the game because I’m getting desperate for even the smallest amount of weight loss!!
Hi Elizabeth, oh dear I went down the rabbit hole. Brought this for perimenopause received it three days ago. Day one I felt heaps of energy, sleep was not great. Day two felt extremely irritable and low mood and today I have headache. I already know in my gut this is not for me but you get so wrapped up in it and desperate for a cure to feel normal again. I am 51 and had hysterectomy (still have ovaries) nearly 10yrs ago. Peri has hit me hard in the last 5 years, migraines, sleep, brain fog, memory word recall, joints, weight gain anxiety. I started on HRT in November and the first thing I noticed was my migraines went with the odd break through. My sleep was a little better, I did feel a little chiller, things didn't faze me as much, however I have gained weight. I can't say if it is HRT related as I was doing this CrossFit style exercise and oh my lord my body just did not handle it. I was deluded to think at 51 I could hit the floor with a burpee and get back up again so I think my body went in to fight or flight mode after I stopped doing this exercise. All old injuries came to the forefront and have remained since. I am a Barber so stand all day and my posture is often in bent positions. Basically my body is breaking down. I live in New Zealand by the way. So today I woke up went on you tube to see if I could be convinced anymore by the client reviews that Happy Hormones was going to work and should I push on, then straight away you review came up and so I watched and I think yes it is another disappointment the HH. So I have put my HRT patch back on as I think it probably does help somewhat. I do have a history of anxiety/depression and I am thinking hormone related at the time hence my hysterectomy. Recently I said to my husband lets go and do some travel particularly back to Scotland we both have connections there for 6 months get out of it for a bit to reset as we have been through a lot of trauma as well over the last 5 years, cancer with hubby, toxic friendships, family drama and I had all this courage and now I get anxiety just thinking about packing a suitcase even though I so dearly want to. I have watched your videos and I like the way you explain things. I am not after any answers just want to let you know and maybe others that read this post may resonate with them and perhaps share their thoughts and feelings. BTW my GP said to me on my last visit I am still a while away from Menopause!! What the heck does that mean. I am telling you my symptoms are real but I guess they look at markers through blood tests etc. Anyway, sorry for the blurb but yeah Happy Mammoth I think is just another get your hopes up product. !!

🫶 love your hair! I'm growing my back after treatment for breast cancer.🧓 Haven't decided if I'm going to go back to coloring it. It's half white half black... if it was all white I would definitely keep it . Just turned 50 and probably started to experience perimenopause last year but chemo threw me into full-blown menopause overnight. I've noticed that when I workout the hot flashes and trouble sleeping go away... But the moment I take a day off they're back. Fun times🤣 Enjoyed your video! Just subscribed ☺️
Sarah thank YOU so much for commenting. If there's anything specific you'd like me to make a video on please let me know. Sending you so much love from Glasgow. I'm humbled by your story. The challenge I hear from women in remission from breast cancer is, because the treatments are high in success rate, women in recovery look great on the outside whilst inside it's a rollercoaster. Thank you for sharing with me. X
@@elizabethbandeen7869 Yes, that is very true... So much to be grateful for. Just need to stay in that mindset.
@@elizabethbandeen7869 maybe doing a discussion on gratitude would be one idea... Also, being that you're a masseuse, a discussion about self-care and the importance of prioritizing your health.
It's infuriating that companies take advantage of people by misleading them.... If they are guaranteeing results, you should ask for a full refund. You should also write them a "nice" review 😤
I went into their website and looked at the terms and conditions of their 60 day money back guarantee. It's pretty water tight protecting the company. Utter bollocks. X
Thank you for this. I was tempted by some of their products, but held off. I’m glad I did now.

Hi! So glad to see you again! You are a great story teller ❤ I'm 51 now, for me, I'm not feeling invisible, but I have felt lonely at times. I actually discovered a group of women called the Golden Girls of the East Valley (I live in the US). This has been a wonderful group of ladies 50 and up. I have felt immediate connections. One day I knit with one, the next I have coffee with another one, the next day I do a puzzle with another lady.... To say the least, this has been a life saver for me. I appreciate women supporting women.
