- Have you ever stopped to consider what constitutes the true essence of the estrogen window of opportunity? Why is it all about the start of estrogen replacement? And why does it designate the first 5 - 10 years? How does it prevent diseases? That’s what this video will address. It will bridge all your gaps of misunderstanding.

Menopause is hormone deficiency! Why the medical community refused to treat it like this is beyond me.
It’s no mystery. They’re Satanists. They invert things. If it’s good they’ll call it bad, if it’s bad, they’ll call it good!
Me too!
It's more lucrative to not treat it as such... The resulting ailments rake in more money.
Yup…I was one that started with the low dose (per doctor) who wanted me to wean off after 5 years. I got scared from what other (uninformed) women so got off estrogen after 4 years…and then found you!
I count my lucky stars.
So looking forward to next week’s class. XO
And your body probably told you what it wanted before you met me. If you're like most women, you listened to scare tactics, misinformed people, and hype while ignoring your own body. I hear stories with this sequence of events again and again.
I am so honored to have found you.
Can we please share this video to all of our PCPs and OBGYN docs? So well laid out Barbie 🙌🏼🙏🏼💖
I would love it if every doctor learned this. The truth is that most know nothing at all about menopause.
Love it!! I gifted my gynecologist one of your books. She was thrilled ☺️
I started hrt at 48 a year after my cycle stopped.. Never regretted it.. Turning 60 and still teaching HIIT fitness classes...
I love the confidence in your words.
You are so dedicated to our education Dr Barbie.
I am so amazed at how many videos you produced so far!💌
Thank you, Angel. I'm actually always way ahead. Currently, I'm working on the videos you won't see until June 2024.
@@MenopauseTaylor I saw that Instagram video about your future educational videos and was amazed!
@@angelmuscledoc I'm always ahead on everything! Life is much less stressful that way.
@@MenopauseTaylor 🤗
You are a great blessing to all of us💖. So many women have no idea they could be on HRT and stay on it for the duration.Many women I know have been told by their doctor to stop taking it after 5 years because it simply does no good.
If in doubt, do a self-experiment. Stop it after 5 years, and see what your own body has to say about it!
@@MenopauseTaylor if stopped can it be restarted.
@@bdmbpm1467 Yes, you can re-start it.
Thank you for your incredibly thorough, and helpful videos. You’re a Godsend.
You are so very welcome, my dear. I love giving you the menopause education you deserve.
You have helped me so much. You got me taking HRT in Oct 2020 and I feel so much better.
Would you mind sharing what dosage of estrogen and progesteron you take?
Any side effects, like sore breasts?
@@user-xs9835 i an also on hrt. I am using xulane, the patch. No issues. I feel great. Prior to hrt, i thought i was in early dementia. All my joints hurt and i was always tired. Now i feel fantastic.
@@iss8504
What dosage though?
I am on Estradot 17 patch, 0.75mg, felling great but have very sore breasts adter 6 months of usage.
Not sure if I have to lower my dosage or increase?
@@user-xs9835 I dont mind sharing my dosage but my dosage was based on my bloodwork, symptoms, lifestyle, etc and discussing it all with the doctor I found to help me.
I am taking Estradiol 2mg tablet and progesterone 100mg capsule. I feel so much better.
Yes I do get breast tenderness but I got that once a month when I had a cycle. It's pretty normal and just what estrogen does.
Watch these videos in order. She goes over everything meticulously. You do need a minimum dosage to prevent these diseases she discusses and the dosage you need depends on what you are taking. There are many options for HRT. You will understand it all if you start at the beginning. I started in June 2020. It was worth watching them all. You will not regret it and you will be confident in your menopause your way.
@@yvettebennett6170
Thank you for sharing! I watched probably 30 of her
wonderful videos and my decision to start HRT as soon as I hit menopause was thanks to dr Taylor! I will wait for another month and if that soreness of breasts still stays, I will book a consultation with her!
New to your channel!!
I feel SO honored to be going to Barbie University!!
I've been devouring your videos!
Thank you,
Forever grateful 🙏
Thank you Doctor Taylor I am eternally grateful for you! For educating and empowering us!!!! You have changed my life of menopause!!!❤️😘
This makes me so very happy. It's what I want for every woman.
So greatful I've found your channel from Dominic. ❤️🙏 Need your book also!
I'm so glad you're here, getting the menopause education you deserve. Welcome to "Menopause University."
Be sure to start with video #1 and watch them all in order. Otherwise, you will be sabotaging your entire menopause education. And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, go to MenopauseTaylor.ME and schedule a consultation. I do them all via video conferencing.
makes so much sense , I wish I had not left any gap with taking HRT Looking beautiful as always
Thank you so much for all your wonderful educational videos! I've been watching since June 2021 and have learned so much. I have to share that a few days ago, I was googling a question for about an hour that I could not for the life of me find a good answer to, and lo and behold, you answered my question very clearly and directly in the last few minutes of this very video! I will continue to recommend you to all my women friends!
This makes me so very happy. My goal is to anticipate all your questions and answer them before you even ask them. That's why I tell you to watch my videos in order. If you do, you'll have no questions and you will understand everything.
I'm thrilled to know that I'm meeting your needs, my dear.
Me too! Good people who genuinely care in the medical industry are a rarity these days. Sadly.
Thanks Dr. Taylor. I am looking forward to next 'dosage' video. Its been 5 years since my last period and fortunately I have not experienced symptoms of menopause. Always thought the HRT was to treat symptoms such as hot flashes etc. so I was reluctant to approach GP. Thanks again for all your advice. Your skin looks incredible btw.
I'm a creative and I love and appreciate all the preprepation you do for these videos.
You're an absolutely creative doctor and this is important.
You are so very kind to appreciate my efforts. Thank you. I love every minute of creating this education for you.
You…are wonderful. Thank you.
You are so very kind. Thank you, my dear.
I reallly appreciate your videos and I bought your book 200 episodes ago,. I'm commenting this time to let you know that the change in your delivery style has been noticed and in my case appreciated. Maybe you found that you need to really work at keeping people interested in the content, so I understand why you might resort to a theatrical delivery, but in my case it is much easier to hear the info in a style that I would expect if I came to your office. Thanks for what you do.💕
Present and ready for class!
Excellent lesson as usual! Everything you say is true!
My body, thanks to surgical menopause, decided it was best to go the estrogen replacement route....lordy lordy, the hourly hot flashes, even tempered by a drug with secondary use of helping hot flashes, we're wild to Wicked. Stress made them worse, hence my surgeon saying yes to estrogen replacement!
You have learned so, so much! You are an excellent student.
My doctor says I should only take estrogen for 5 years . Thank you for your videos, I wouldn’t have even asked about getting estrogen. I just started, I am 3 years post menopausal.
Would you take insulin or thyroid hormone for only 5 years?
You should seriously consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME so that you know ALL your options and know how to get whatever you want. Your menopause management will dictate the rest of your life.
Excellent! I had been wondering if starting estrogen while not officially in menopause was a concern and you answered this loud and clear.
I answer most question before you pose them IF you're watching my videos in order. Apparently, you are!
Bravo, Dr. Taylor, this one really resonated with me and so look forward to learning about doses of Estrogen. Blessings and thanks!
I’m so glad you are here. I’m on video 71! Love them all. 😀
You are just bingeing on these videos! I love "seeing" you get the menopause education you deserve.
I absolutely love Dr. Taylor! Thank you for your knowledge and sharing it with us! I adore you, Dr. Taylor.
Well, you are so very kind, my dear. I hope you know that I love you, too. That's precisely why I give you the menopause education you deserve.
Doctors don't have these discussions about taking HRT for preventative measures on the heart, brain and bones. The conversation about HRT is only about the side effects of HRT like hot flashes.
Doctors need more education and should be starting the HRT discussion with women in their early 40's. I knew nothing about menopause and hrt until 6 years after I entered menopause.
Thank you Barbie. I’ll be so glad when you escape the closest!!!
Thank you so much for you education. I have Doktor appointment regarding my menopause. I hope she will listen. You are so wise I wish we could have more doctors like you. You are absolutely send from God. By the way I love you beautiful Outfit. This is what make you so unique. Thank you so much for all you do. ❤️
You are so very welcome, my dear.
It would be so much better for you if you have a consultation with me BEFORE seeing any doctor. I will ensure that you avoid burning your bridges. There is much more to this than you can possibly imagine.
Go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule. I do them all via video conferencing.
What a wonderful and instructive channel. Thank you Dr. Barbie!😁🇵🇷
You are so very welcome, my dear.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you so much! I want a consult.
@@mariviberrios I would love to meet you and help you. Schedule one!
I love your passion in the field of menopause and women’s health. You are absolutely needed in my journey toward better health as a woman in my sixties.
Please keep encouraging us to always strive to have better health at any age. On another note, I would love to purchase your books but I’m not able to find them on Amazon. Where else besides your web site can I purchase these. Menopause book as well as Honey I’m Home. Thanks a bunch.👍
I am one of those women preventing these diseases by other methods. Thank you Dr Barbie. I am also one of those women who began supporting estrogen in parimenopause. I say support because I use herbs. To replace would require hrt. Anyway I needed to treat brain fog and joint pain in order to function like a human and I love it. Whatever form one receives her wonderful estrogen, I don't know why would anyone ever want to stop it. Yes I'm currently experiencing all the craziness of parimenopause and really don't care exactly when my own estrogen stops as I'm learning about disease prevention adrenal and liver support, all our other hormones and what they do. I feel well prepared and I'm learning and doing new management techniques all the time. I appreciate how Dr Barbie really makes sense of the estrogen window. Thank you.
I'm glad you're getting this education because your personal situation will change over time. As it does, you will have the knowledge to adjust your management accordingly.
Yes I am well aware of this. You're awesome thank you.
@@nazarethmaeve596 It's my pleasure.
Thank you Dr Taylor!
Love the message and your stunning outfit!
How sad to lose our estrogen...
Questions:
1) If estrogen is our fountain of youth, what is men's? Why don't men have osteoporosis (or much less) since they have no estrogen? Does testosterone provide the same benefit? It doesn't for heart disease, though. Just trying to understand estrogen from an opposite perspective.
2) If taking estrogen during perimenopause means we can't tell when we became postmenopausal, does it mean we keep having our periods while on HRT? And if we don't, then are we getting enough estrogen?
3) Finally, is it dangerous to be still.menstruating at 55? Or, on the contrary, is it beneficial?
I will be scheduling a consultation this year, still need to finish my education!😁
Maria
I'd like an answer to your question about if taking HRT during perimenopause do we still get out period or for a longer duration.
Thank you so much for this lessons! ♡ learning about menopause!
I love knowing that menopause is becoming a popular and fun subject! I thought I was the only person who felt this way.
Here here!!!
Hello Menopause Taylor. I am so glad to see your video today. I am post-menopause by about 1 year and a half, and have watched many of your videos. I am not sure if this is the place to ask, but I've wanted to ask this for the past year and just never have. I am unable to take any estrogens - synthetic, bio-identical or herbs...even flax. I am missing the gene that breaks them down (CYP450) and even small dabs of these cause horrible cramping and bleeding starts. So my GYN, naturopath and Dr have advised stay away.
But your words ring in my mind often. What do I do to protect my heart, and my joints and my brain? I've had two Dr's throw up their hands at me and tell me they have no idea. My GYN is willing to help but has no idea. She is 75 and been doing women's health since she was 20. So I am wondering if you do any kind of consult or have any wisdom.
Love you 😍 and your unic fashion. Can't wait to have a consultation with you soon.
Thank you, estrogen window & it’s implications are embedded in my brain forever!! 💕🌟
MotMist Annie: Love love love the hat! the running analogy.
When can you make a video on hrt and liver problem and hrt induced liver problems?
The comparison of treating the deficiencies of T3, T4, and insulin to the not treating the deficiency of estrogen really made me go “ah-ha!”…!
Whenever you wonder about HRT for menopause, just substitute the word "insulin" or "thyroid hormone" into the sentence. If it still makes sense, then you're on the right track. If it doesn't, you aren't.
Thank you. These are the most informative health information videos that I have ever seen. Which videos speak to estrogen gel, cream, and patch - and specifically gel or cream vs patch? In video 33, I think you mentioned that estrogen gel can increase glucose and triglycerides. Do you know if the cream does the same? Is this a substantial increase ?
Thank you Dr. Taylor for the invaluable information and education you are providing. I am so grateful that I found you before my opportunity window had closed! I know it’s a small difference but could you please clarify when I became post-menopausal - the first missed period or a year later after twelve missed periods? Thank you again for your time and efforts to positively impact the lives of women. 😊
I have been told and read that menopause starts after 12 months of no period. If anytime after those 12 months you have bleeding you should immediately see your doctor as it could be a sign of illness and diseases, such as uterine fibroid. Note I am not in the medical field. Just did alot of reading.
After 12 Consecutive months without a bleed you're post menopausal. 🙂
@@bdmbpm1467 Menopause is the time span from your last period to 12 months after that. The one year without a bleed. After that, you're in Postmenopause. 🙂
Thank you for addressing the peri vs official post menopause! Dr Taylor, can you either answer or address in your videos what determines and when one should take BCP for hormone replacement vs a traditional bioidentical? Since I take BCP for hormone replacement with forced periods on the last week, I will have no idea when I would go into official post menopause. Just turned 50, having fiddled around with options for years, now stable for 4 months on a BCP instead of a bioidentical estrogen because I was ‘too young’ (as told by my GP) and because I was not officially postmenopausal, with the plan to switch over to Estrace+progesterone when I convert.
Lucy,
You need a consultation for this. No two women are alike. Nothing I present in videos is tailored specifically to YOU. And you absolutely must apply the information specifically to YOU if you want to do things in a way that's best FOR YOU.
You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME, and I do all consultations via video conferencing.
Very important video. Thank you for this.
You are so very welcome, my dear.
My doctor made me wait for a year of no period before she prescribed HRT’s even though I was in
Perimenopause for 3 years. After two years of taking it I struggle with the dosage but at list Im taking HRT’s .
If you find a NAMS doctor it will help. Mine put me on hrt asap. I feel so much better. I found triphasic horrible, blisolvi was better but xulane patch best. Ironically the patch has the most estrogen and progesterone. Experiment.
You should schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME so that I can help you ensure that everything is perfect FOR YOU. It is not enough to assume that anything will do. You could be failing to achieve all your long-term goals.
I do all consultations via video conferencing, so it doesn't matter where you live.
I loved being on estrogen for the last 10 years..unfortunately I’ve been bleeding more and more and finally had an ultrasound. I am filled with fibroids that grew with the estrogen. My very alternative doctor, Wiley Protocal, has said I don’t really have alternatives. Either stop the estrogen or have surgery. I also was cycling progesterone, which I was steadily increasing until Dr said can’t take any higher dosage. Can you make a video to talk to us women who can’t take estrogen if they want to avoid surgery? I have watched perhaps 50 of your videos over the last couple years. Thank you!
My Dear Dylana,
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
I’m having a hard time even finding a doctor to give me HRT. I finally got Bijuva prescribed but I wonder if it’s enough to help? I’m 51
Hi there, I loved being on Estrofem after a hysterectomy two years ago. It worked beautifully. I'm in South Africa so I'm not sure if you are aware that it's estrogen. My doctor gave it to me because my estrogen levels were very low after numerous blood tests. I was forced to go off it three months ago as I was diagnoses with lupus. Is there anything else that I could possibly take? You videos are very informative, thank you.
I went post menopausal at age of 53 and my life turned a torture due the estrogen defficienty. Because of your videos and education I began with HR at age of 55. I am so thankful You have saved my life. I am 60 now and doing very well and I intend to continue with HR until the end of my life. My biggest angst is to get Alzheimer like my mother . My question ist. how can I chek if I have plaques ? My cholesterin level is a little higher than normal, is that a sign that I may have plaques? Thank you again and again.
This is precisely the kind of thing that warrants a consultation, my dear. You absolutely HAVE to tailor all the information specifically to YOU, and no number of videos can do that.
Please go to MenopauseTaylor.ME and schedule a consultation. I do them all via video conferencing.
@@MenopauseTaylorLast week I have lost my job due the negative effects of the pandemics on the economy .

@@MenopauseTaylor that is fantastic! Thank you!
@@muhlenstedt You are so very welcome!
So grateful for you 🙏🏽
Thank you for explaining this window. My doctor mentioned this window but did not explain why HRT is not started after the window. He defined the window as 5 to 10 years up to the age of 60. I was 58 at the time of starting HRT. Had I been 60 years old I think he would not have perscribed it. He also said my body was still likely producing some estrogen since I did not have vaginal dryness. I had been confused about when HRT is supposed to be stopped. The online medical literature seems to encourage women to stop as early as possible.
I still have my uterus so I am also taking progesterone to reduce risk of cancer by taking only estrogen.
Soon after my mother stopped taking (premarin?) In the early 1990's she had a heart attack. She also was a heavy smoker. Unfortunately a few months later she had an AAA that dissected while she was taking a heart stress test. Her symptoms were ignored by the hospital staff and she died.
She had beautiful skin all the way up to her death. She had on premarin for 30 years due to a hysterectomy in her 30's.
I am so very sorry about your mother.
What I LOVE about this education is that it enables you to look around at the people you know and see that I'm telling you the truth.
What I HATE about this education is that it enables you to look around at the people you know and see that I'm telling you the truth.
Stories like your mother's should not occur. HRT can prevent so many of them.
Always very helpful information thank ypu
It's my absolute pleasure, my dear.
As a woman who has been post menopausal for 16 years now and chose not to do HRT due to the now egregiously flawed WHI 2002 "study", I feel like the millions of women who were either denied HRT or chose not to do HRT because of the fears caused by that now defunct study, have been robbed of our "window" of opportunity" and now at risk for these big three diseases. There should be a class action lawsuit filed against the researchers who spearheaded that so called "study" and hold them accountable.
I absolutely agree.
But, you may still have many options (including HRT).
PLEASE, PLEASE schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will tailor all the facts specifically to YOU and help you assess your options. You might be pleasantly surprised.
I do all consultations via video.
@@MenopauseTaylorThank you! Yes, I've bookmarked your website and will be reviewing your policy etc., regarding consultations.
@@popgems I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
Not enough media attention educating women that the WHI 2002 study was flawed and no longer the gold standard. I was not aware of this until very recently. For that reason I did not seek out HRT until I realized there is no end to menopause and it's side effects.
@@bdmbpm1467 The media wants drama. That's why you hear more (or only) about upsetting things. The WHI was one of the worst studies ever done in terms of design, objectives, and assessment. There was an ulterior motive from the start.
So the question is, what do you do if you haven't taken the Estro replacement? What are the options then? I am 64, had my ovaries out (full hysterectomy at 46) , took Tibolone for a few years then stopped. Have very low hormone levels across the board and feeling really tired all the time...Ideas people and thank you to this lovely Dr above for all the great info.
Schedule and appointment with her! She will be so helpful!
Hello Doctor I will be making appt with very soon 🌹
I look so very forward to finally meeting you and helping you, my dear.
Hi Dr. Barbie, can you please explain why many women all over the world that did not take HRT live well into their 90's ?
I’d say other factors than HRT come into play, no guarantees in life ! My mom and aunt lived to 94 & 96, No HRT and no problems and great quality of life until the very end! amazing and blessed! 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
On what do you base this statement?
I’m so confused! I’ve been listening to your podcasts and watching your videos and I appreciate all the information you’re providing.
I am on spironolactone for acne and have been taking it for 4 years. I haven’t had a period for a year now and my estradiol is 100, I have insomnia, hot flashes, worsening acne, mood swings, and depression.
I don’t know if I should take prempro as prescribed by my physician for symptom control because I’m not sure if I really hit menopause or am just not having my periods due to spironolactone. Please help! My dr doesn’t seem to understand that spironolactone can stop menstruation.
I’m 48 so I’m definitely at the age for menopause but my mom didn’t have her last period til she was 54

Hello! I had my GYNO APP today. Unfortunately, my Gyno doesn't believe in the importance of HRT for preventing all 3 big diseases. she believes in will do the opposite effect, despite the fact that all 3 diseases run in my family. I'm very happy to report that at the end she was willing to give me the minimal dosage for preventing all 3 diseases. I did enquire of IUD for my progesterone and she was a little hesitant because I'm post menopausal and prior h/o prolapse fibroid and would like to do a ultra sound first before doing an IUD. She said fibroids can displace IUD and also as menopausal uterus may be smaller in size making it more difficult to remove or replace IUD. Is an ultra sound a good idea or just a waist of my money? What are your thoughts? Thank you!!
Hello.I read an article that the women's that have taken HRT and for any reason had to stop it after 10 or more years they had the symptoms of menopose that a 50 years old have but it is much more harder to deal with them being 70 years old.Can you address this subject please.It feels scary to even begin HRT if its true and then what you can do if your doctor insist to stop it.

After I start taking HRT will I regrow the hair that has fallen out when it thinned about a year ago?
It will first stop thinning and shedding. With time, it will regrow. Hair changes slowly, no matter what.
Dr. Barbie
I'm in my perimenopause. I feel it has been about 2months. I plan to go for a blood test to check my levels. But after watching this video (among many others from you) I feel I don't want to wait for a whole year until my last period. I am already suffering through night sweats, hot flashes, and memory recall. Please let me know if I'm on the right path for getting HR very soon.
Bloodwork will not tell you as your peri your hormones are fluctuating at the moment so your Bloodwork will not be a good indicator but your symptoms are definitely peri so yes you should consider HRT before your symptoms get worse..I'm on HRT 2years now & life is good 👍
You need a consultation with me NOW. I will save you all the wasted time and pitfalls that you are ripe and ready to experience. There is more to this than you can possibly imagine.

I have been on estrogen for 10 years after my Hysterectomy at age 45. My doctor told me she is going to take me off in March at my yearly appointment since I have been on estrogen for 10 years and she said the reason is because it’s not good for your heart. What should I do and what information is correct. If she takes me off of it how do I go about making sure I should really still be on it and how do I find a doctor who would keep me on my estrogen patch.

Read Estrogen Matters by Evrum Bluming. There is a really good interview with peter attia and bluming on the women 's health initiative and his book detailing the real disservice they did to women
Everyone and Everything that you read says do want you want to do and what is right for you. You do your research and go to your doctor prepared but if they won’t budge or listen and prescribe the estrogen your screwed! Unfortunately I have found most doctors in my area have this same mindset and I feel like my health will pay for it! Wish we had good menopause doctors in my area.
@@karenyingling67 Have you checked the NAMS website? You can search for certified menopause providers by zip code. If you are near Boston, you can try to see Dr Heather Hirsch, MD, she is the lead physician at the menopause clinic at the Bringham and women’s hospital. She has good videos here on RUclips as well. If you’re out of state, she requires the first visit in person but can do telemedicine after that. I know it’s hard to find a good and informed menopause doctor.
@@karenyingling67 I'm not there yet but I'm already doing my research on menopause. Thank the Lord for Dr. Taylor! My OB/GYN retired last year so while getting to know my new OB/GYN, I asked her her opinion on hormone treatment therapy for menopause. She said she's open to it but for only a short while. Right there I said to myself, what happens if I WANT to stay on it?? If a doctor already has it in their mind that extended use of estrogen will cause more harm than good, then what are we to do?!?!
I think what CM suggested to do is a good start. Good luck, friend!
Doctor I’m 55 and began menopause around 4 years ago. I started HRT very shortly after, taking Prometrium progesterone 100mg per day, and also 2mg Estradiol daily. My horrific symptoms went away immediately.
I’ve recently been seeing an integrative doctor in my area and she had me do a ‘Dutch’ hormone test. This came back showing my Oestrogen to be very high, in the red zone. (Progesterone and testosterone both normal.)
She is saying I am not processing/ methylating it properly and must cut back immediately to lower my levels. I’m feeling OK as far as hormones are concerned and not sensing that urgency myself.
Yesterday I halved my Oestrogen to 1mg. Today I’m not going to. I’m not sure whether being in this ‘Oestrogen Dominant red zone’ is actually dangerous, or if I should continue on my usual dose as I have been. I DO NOT TRUST most of the medical advice out there. Eg. They’ve lied to us about optimal Vitamin D3 levels and I know this. Mine are off the charts (literally) and I’m happy about this and benefiting in terms of it lessening the symptoms of an autoimmune condition I have due to high mercury.
Am I safe to continue on as I have been? Is there such a thing as having way too much Oestrogen- to where it’s harmful? I’ve been watching your videos and I trust your judgement. I am otherwise healthy. Healthy weight etc.

OK, leave this with me, thank you! Right now I’m applying myself to learning as much as I can about all aspects of this, and very carefully lowering my dose just slightly. Also encouraging increased methylation by taking 100mg of SamE every 2nd day.
Ps. Should I go ahead with a consult, what are your costs, and how do people make payment? I am in Australia.

OK I’ve looked. I am keen to book a consult with you. 🙂 First though I need to take more time doing some independent research. I will be in touch, x

Can you go on Hormone therapy with fibroid and benign lump on breast? Hormone therapy won’t progress the growth of lumps and fibroids?
Hi, great video....question, would estrogen replacement make ones period to come back?
Anyone melasma worsen on hrt? I’m in perimenopause and just started educating myself about menopause. Was on low dose birth control in early 30s which resulted in bad melasma which I still have and I’m 48. So I’m worried my melasma will worsen on hrt. Need to find menopause specialist near me
Hello Dr Taylor when someone starts taking estrogen in the window of time required is it possible that every symptom listed by you at the beginning of your channel should improve. Is it possible to verify if dosage needs to be changed or say at some point that there is nothing more that can be done? Thank you
Agnes,
You are not "someone." You are you. And everything has to be tailored TO YOU.

Thank you for this video. But, it is very overwhelming hearing this stuff. I am 46. I can’t believe we basically just waste away without estrogen around 50. That’s so depressing. So, basically if I don’t get hormone replacement I will get old looking, gain weight and my brain and body will give out. Awesome. Does this happen to men?!??? This just doesn’t seem fair for this to happen to us.
I didn't believe this either until i turned 51. Then reality hit me. Hrt has given me my life back. I was literally becoming demented and could not function. I really thought it was early onset dementia. Nope. Lack of estrogen.
@@iss8504 if you wouldn't started earlier then 51, would you have? I'm 46, and feeling the lack of estrogen effects. Yet my female doctor who is 30ish says wait until you have had no period for 1 year. I wish Dr. Barbie could answer why the 1 year without a period is so important if YOU START getting symptoms way before the 1 year mark.
@@jenfrance1906 you do not have to wait 1yr to have no period that is just an indication you are now post menupause...I wish to god 8 knew earlier I would definitely have been on HRT earlier as I felt it from 45yrs onwards..I'm on HRT 2yrs now since 51yrs..go to a proper menupause specialist a 30yr doctor is not an expert on hormones most doctors are not and are uncomfortable prescribing HRT..
Men never lose all their testosterone. That's why they don't have a menopause. You should start with video #1 and watch all my videos in order. That's the ONLY way you will understand everything. If you watch them randomly, you will completely sabotage your entire menopause education.
If you want a shortcut or want me to tailor everything to your personal situation, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all via video conferencing.

Should we take DIM if on estrogen?
Can beginning HRT 6 years after the start of menopause REVERSE the negative effects on the heart and arteries during that 6 year gap of not taking HRT?
Is there a way to determine if the window is closed with respect to aging and the heart? Are there any heart tests that should be done before starting HRT (estrogen and progesterone) for those that did not immediately start HRT during the first year of menopause?
Reversal is not the goal or the capability of HRT. The purpose is to bridge the gap so that your body never goes without estrogen in the first place.
If you want my help assessing YOUR situation, please don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all via video.
Diabetes and hypothyroidism can happen to men too. Isn’t that what it’s all about. If men had menopause, hormones would be paid for by insurance.
Men never lose all their testosterone. And that is why they don't have menopause.
And you are correct. If men did have menopause, there would be an ATM (Automatic Testosterone Machine) on every street corner, and testosterone would be free.
Whst if your doctor won't prescribe a estrogen prescription...with a national hmo...the hmo policy is no she said to do hormone replacement therapy across the board at the hmo as a whole. Is there another way to get a presciption. Medical spa?
Anyone? Please let me know? Thank you so much!!
Schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will school you in precisely how to get whatever you want.
I haven't watched all your videos....but do you mention skin laxity and accelerated aging as a result of edrgen depletion ? That is the 4th "disease" in my world, as I am a skin junkie , and take many supplements to keep that at bay! Does hormones replacement reverse those signs as well as the 3 diseases you teach about?
I address everything in units. And I have not yet presented the unit on skin. But I can help you with this in a consultation, which is even better than what you can get from a video.

I had uterine Cancer in July 2020 (had a hysterectomy). I can't take estrogen because my Cancer was estrogen driven. What can I do or take to prevent having low estrogen? I'm 53 yrs old.
I had Stage 1a uterine cancer as well. I had surgery in May 2020. I went on estrogen replacement no issues. You no longer have a uterus, so no cancer worry.
@@jeanetteraichel8299 what were yours signs & symptoms of the uterine cancer
@@juneparks4017 none! I was 50 and have PCOS. Pathology found it. Gyne Oncology was going in for the suspicious monster cyst (14x12x8cm). Turns out it was benign and necrotic.
I started on HRT at 54. My periods had not finished, but were still going strong. Was that a good idea?
Yes. You bridged the gap. That’s a good thing!
I have gained 5 or so kilos in 6 months if taking estrogel and cyclical utrogestan. Is it the cause the estrogen, the progesterone or just perimenopause?
If start the estrogen after the 5-10 year window, should you not stay on it as long & how do you know if you are past the 5 to 10 year window
You shouldn't. The women 's heart disease initiative shows that hrt started long after menopause is dangerous. But not if you took estrogen from the start of menopause. It's too late for some of us. My mother is 75 and she's way too far out of the window. Only left with supplements now and they don't work all that well.
Are you of the school of thought that it is ok to continue HRT indefinitely (of course as long there is not a contraindication)?
Hi Dr. Taylor, can my mom go back on HRT at the age of 78?
It all depends on your mom's personal situation, and it requires a consultation to assess her options. Everything absolutely HAS to be tailored to the individual.
Have your mom schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME and I will help her. I do all consultations via video conferencing, so it doesn't matter where she lives.
What if you lose an ovary to cyst removal in your early forties? Is HRT necessary, is should one still wait for full menopause before starting?
Thank you 🙏 💕
How can one tell if their window of opportunity has closed?
After 10 years, you're really done.
Why is it some women say they never went through menopause, is that possible ?
Sure. Caitlyn Jenner never went thru menopause and i am pretty sure is around 70.
Sorry if I sound bitter but it galls me that a man can get hrt at any age and zero pressure to stop hrt, but actual women have to fight and beg for this same therapy. Total war against women. Caitlyn is definitely post menopause. If a real woman as everyone says she is, then she should be denied hrt like every other 70 year old woman.
Keep in mind that women sometimes like to lie and sugarcoat this topic especially, even with their best friends! :) My girlffriend, who clearly lacks estrogen based on her deep face wrinkles, tried to convince me that she still ovulates at 52:) But recently she forgot what she said before and it turned out that her periods stopped before age of 50!
I think its just too traumatic for some women to realize that fertility kissed goodbye , even without plans to have a child!
@@user-xs9835 That and the shame of being a "washed up good for nothing female" now...that is how society portrays women past their reproductive years :/, so they keep it a secret that they've hit menopause as they think it will reflect badly on them if people know.
What choices do we have if our Mon had breast cancer - I heard that HRT is not viable if you have breast cancer in your family.
Wrong. Does it make any sense to you for you to be denied something because someone else had a disease?
If your mother had thyroid cancer, would you be denied thyroid hormone replacement if you had hypothyroidism?
If your mother had pancreatic cancer, would you be denied insulin if your were insulin deficient?
The whole breast cancer topic has gone completely haywire due to fear. Nothing about it is logical.
Are there any lessons on the role of testosterone in women's aging?
Testosterone is something you address AFTER you get your estrogen right. That's because you are Mama Bear, and YOUR hormone is estrogen. Only after your estrogen is perfect do you assess whether or not you need testosterone.
@@MenopauseTaylor I feel I have got the estrogen right...but the ob/gyn I go to don't address the testosterone🤷♀️
She is a fantastic doctor otherwise. I guess I need to seek someone who does a more holistic practice🤔
But I have been very comfortable with this doc through some things...not sure how to handle this...I hate changing docs when I find a good one...you all are hard to come by.
Btw...thank you for answering!

I wonder if starting to eat estrogen rich foods at 42 is beneficial?
It has nothing whatsoever to do with your age. They are beneficial at all ages. But they don't come close to doing what pharmaceutical estrogen or your own body's estrogen can do.

When I take estrogen (I'm 52), I can't remember what I did or said 30 seconds ago. Estrogen makes me stupid! Why???
It all depends on the estrogen, how much you're taking, and how long you take it. It sounds to me like you are not taking what's right FOR YOU.
So, if you didn't know about the 'estrogen window of opportunity' AND if your doctor tiptoed around it but never delved into it with you AND now you're 5 years past the 5 to 10 year window.... you aren't just S.O.L.???

Would anyone please share their progestin prescription needed if on Premarin 0.625?
Denise,
In a consultation, I will give you all the dosages of all the progestins for balancing any estrogen dosage. This is NOT something you should asking other women. It requires tailoring everything specifically to YOU, which is exactly what I'll do in a consultation. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME, and I do them all via video conferencing.
can you continue estrogen into your 70
Can you continue insulin for diabetes into your 70s?
What about thyroid hormone for hypothyroidism?
Why would estrogen be any different?
A hormone deficiency is a hormone defiicency.
