At 62 I love everything about being a woman and am in total AWE of my body! I've experienced the beauty of puberty, giving birth to 3 healthy babies, menopause and I continue to age gracefully! ~Susanne xoxo
Menopause has destroyed me!!!!!!! Finally after 3 years just started HRT. Praying it's a god send!!!! Otherwise I might as well drop dead and I'm not even 50.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😭
Thank you Lisa for discussing this. I’m 55 soon 56 I’m a nurse since 1984. I’ve learned along the way as a woman and a nurse - listen to people. Just because it isn’t in the books we study does not mean that it isn’t a fact. Besides the books was mostly written and researched by men or at least that is true for Clinical learning in the 1980’s. I can recall people complaining of the same symptoms and the doctor brushing them off because it wasn’t written in the book he or she studied 🤨. In my early days I didn’t Take the time to listen either. I wish I could apologize for my early 20’s with clinical Patients. But anyway thanks for opening up hopefully a conversation among women to share and support each other. Hopefully they can understand more and feel understood and not Made to feel Crazy. My generation didn’t grow up Listening to other women discussing this And I hope this can help other women.
Thanks for talking about this subject. I'm grateful for the other women who talked to me about their experiences. That's how I got through the changes, which continue on some level. Doctors usually mean well, but they sometimes measure symptoms differently. Women helping women! Thank you Lisa❤
I started watching “menopause Taylor” here on RUclips, & she is sooo knowledgeable & helpful! I highly recommend her for those seeking information regarding menopause. Love your channel!
Sometimes I feel de-feminized when the word “menopause” comes up. I turn 45 next week and I feel sexier now than I did in my 20’s. I feel like men think a woman is “washed up” if she’s in menopause or going through it, and I don’t like that negative connotation attached to the word. We are still feminine, sexy, sexual, loving, etc... It doesn’t define who we are.
Mandi Hixson Agree ! It's like putting a bullseye on women's backs and drawing unnecessary attention to a normal biological stage . When women need to work longer than ever all this 'clarion call ' attention makes younger colleagues, bosses and kids unnaturally aware of a very normal phase in a woman's life . It's not like we shine spotlights and devote endless YT videos to the topic of our daughters starting their menstruation . . I believe the topic needs discussion but every mature age YT is on the bandwagon & seem so self absorbed & obsessed w their own journey ....carry on as if they are the first generation to go thru it . It's becoming quite counterproductive as the image of a woman passing from fertile goddess into the myths of the 'old crone' only become larger than life . All very self indulgent !!

You don’t ever get through it girl! I’m 64 and still have hot flashes and the memory loss, the weight gain, the not being able to sleep is still affecting me. Looking forward to your weight loss video Lisa!
I am going through pain right now. Hip, wrist, and my back are killing me. Balance, weight gain, Blood clot heavy periods, Digestion, constipation, nausea, burping, rib pain, headaches, anxiety, panic attacks, teethpain, and the list goes on. I hit premenopause early this yr and my life has been living hell. I am 45. God help me and all women going through this.
@@beckys6260 I suffered alot of the symptoms also which Sally D has. Coincidently all this started happening 2 days after i had botox done for the first time .A year later Im convinced its from the botox but who knows maybe it really was premenapause symptoms all along 😂

I’m 52 and still in perimenopause. I’m sill dealing with the monthly, ugh. This is a subject I’m glad you’re discussing, since many that watch this channel are facing this time of life. Thanks Lisa!💕
Love you so much Lisa❤️ I cant tell how much this video helped me understand everything I’m going through right now. I’m 45 and starting to have those “high school periods” and also after all these years of having my period like clockwork I’m now becoming irregular 🤦🏻♀️. Thank you for all you do for us and the inspiration you have been to me for so many years. You are a true class act and a blessing to us all🥰😘
Eating a tablespoon of ground flaxseed daily got me through menopause and I still use it decades later for vaginal health. It balances female hormones and prevents breast cancer. Lots of info about it on RUclips.
Thank you for sharing your menopause journey. As always you have a healthy attitude and your right about being in a better place emotionally as we age. Love you. 🥰
OMG!! Thank you so much for doing this video. I know I started going through menopause around 45. My OB/GYN poo-pooed my suspicions. She said I was too young and we would discuss, when I was closer to 50. I should have ran away and quickly. I suffered for years and am now through the worst of it. However, I will say...always listen to your body and if your doctor doesn’t take your concerns seriously - find one who will! 👊🏻
I cannot believe how many of the things you discussed that I went through as well. Some of which I didn’t even relate to menopause but now hearing you say them, it makes complete since. Thanks for sharing!
Sharing your story will help so many women who are going through the same situation but are afraid to talk about it. Bravo Lisa, you're such an inspiration to all of us!
Thank you Thank you so much. I'm 53 and in Peri Menopause and I experience all of your same symptoms. Looking for the light at the end of the tunnel 👍Always glad to hear other women are going thru the same thing❤. I look foward to your weight loss video 😊
Hey Lisa! As soon as I turned 40 my body starting changing Before I had no problem with losing weight then all of the sudden I couldn’t, then my bones would ache, losing hair etc I Was a mess! I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism changed my life! Then Around 50 I entered into menopause! The joys of being a woman! Thank you Lisa for making this video ❤️🤗💕
Thank you SO much for addressing menopause. I'm 44 and through it as well (early I know). The medical community needs so much more training and education. Most everything on your list I went through and am still going through today. The absolute WORST for me is waking up soaking wet! We all need to break the stigma of this stage in our lives!!💞
Lisa - this has got to be one of my favorite videos you've made. I have watched you for years and you are my favorite RUclips by far. I am 57 and I just completed menopause. I really resonated with your honesty and perspective of the glory of being a woman and the miracle of bringing life into this world. So so true. When I was pregnant with both of my sons, I felt like I was living in grace. I loved every single minute and I felt that way about being a mom too. It was the happiest and most fulfilling times of my life. So back to this video, more than anything I felt like we were besties sitting at the kitchen table chatting about life. You are a wonderful inspiration and your humor is the best salve especially in times like this. You have a beautiful family (animals too!) and it's great to hear how everyone is doing. Bless you and yours. Keep these wonderful videos coming.
I had my first hot flash in a department store when I was 40 and was done menopause at 44. From 42-44 I took HRT but I gained weight and felt like a had a layer of fat and water all over my body. I was so irritable, angry and depressed. Hot flashes and night sweats. The last thing to go is the night sweats. I still get them especially when I drink wine. I also still struggle with getting a good and uninterrupted night’s sleep. What else?? Dry vagina - oh man, not pleasant!! I take Vagifem for that. About balance - I’m now 67 but since I’ve turned 60, I have fallen and sprained my ankle, broken my wrist and my shoulder in three separate falls. I think that’s it. Ha! It’s enough!! Anyone who says menopause is in our heads clearly hasn’t experienced it. Thanks for sharing your journey Lisa ❤️.
Jordana Dewbury I don’t think I said that. From the time I had my first hot flash until my last period was four years. Symptoms went on for years and still do.
I can’t thank you enough from the bottom of my heart for this video. It almost brought me to tears. I’m only 45 and have been having so many strange symptoms coming and going for the last year that I’ve never experienced before. I’ve been going through all the same things with drs as you did. Mainly migraines, sporadic hot flashes, stomach issues and sleep disruptions. I’m healthy, eat well and exercise. And drs always say 45 is too young for menopause or (peri). But that’s what I’ve being chalking it up to. I soooo appreciated you talking about it in such a real way. Did you know that most Drs spend as little as 20 hrs total on menopause in medical school?! And it seems to be such a forbidden negative topic in society. Thank you for bringing it into the light with the sunshine you cast. Please....keep doing more. My mom is not around anymore to talk to about these issues. Thx! 😘
Everything you talk about here I have or currently am experiencing. My menopause started about 3 years ago. I'm 56. I have every symptom you mentioned. The painful joints, IBS-d, weight gain in my middle, chest breaking out, weird sensitivities...etc... Also something that was happening to me and making me laugh a little was forgetfulness! I'd forget something someone may have just said to me. I'd get so embarrassed but just try to laugh it off. It's all been a learning experience for me. I was diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome by a rheumatologist about a year ago. It was determined with a blood test. That partially explains my joint pain and believe it or not, IBS can also be a symptom as well as other things. Thank you for addressing all this. It helps to listen to others experiencing the same things. Looking forward to your weight loss video! 💜
Girl... hip pain, yes! Doctors discount it but it’s REAL. 🙌🙌🙌. I never thought about it being part of menopause. So glad you brought it up. Not only my hip, joints in general.
Thank you Lisa for being so open on this subject. I’m 56 and like you went through Menopause at 50. I’m 5ft 10 and most of my life was very thin/could eat anything I’d want. Now I’m 30 lbs over weight and most of my weight gain has been in my tummy mid section. Sometimes I feel like it’s impossible to lose weight :((
Soooo happy to see this video!!! I’m 54 and in peri menopause. I have the same symptoms and doctors act like it’s all in my head 🤦♀️. Thank you so much for sharing your experience
I have loved you and your channel for so many years now but I have to say this video and the remaining of this series will be my favorite!!!! I am 56 and officially hit menopause a year ago. I can relate to so much of this and to be honest hearing other women have gone through the same stuff is soooooo comforting. I still get tummy bloating and pain, hot flashes, some brain fog and went from 8to9 hours of sleep at night to 6 hours so I feel tired. Thank you for doing this series and being so open. You are the sweetest! Big hugs!!!!
I am turning 51 this month and I have been experiencing some of the less common symptoms of menopause that you mentioned, like wrist pain, knee pain and also neck pain, I had night sweating for awhile but now it’s gone, digestion issues, specially intestinal pain, gas, bloating, heartburn, vertigo and balance issues, I too had to give up high heels, also memory loss on top of everything.
Thank you so much for doing this video! I am just starting going through this and have nobody to ask about symptoms! Now I feel so much better knowing I’m not crazy and I’m going to be okay!
I'm 38, 39 in a couple of months, and have been having perimenopause symptoms for over a year now. It's frustrating when doctors do not want to even listen because "you're too young". It's helpful to hear from other women who understand. 💗
My pre-menopausal started around 45 and completely ended at 47. However the heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, hip/joint pain, anxiety is still going on. So exhausting
Thank you so much for this video! I turn 50 next week and haven’t had a period in over 2 years. People react like it’s weird that it’s so early but my doctor said that’s perfectly normal. I have the sensitive chest skin as well.
Thanks for this Lisa. I’m through menopause, but I’m finding I’m losing my patience so easily these days. It’s very hard for family and friends to understand as it’s so out of character for me. I’ve always been a very placid natured person, but sometimes I feel I could just either breakdown in tears or scream out loud. You feel like you’re going crazy at times. I’m 50 yrs and not had a period year past April...... I can cope with the other symptoms, but I’m finding this irritability so difficult to handle ❤️
I have been working with a Naturopathic doctor virtually. She’s a women’s only doc. Getting your hormones balanced will balance your thyroid and your neurotransmitters (mood sleep) I feel like a young carefree 20yo again without a period! Win win! (I don’t want to give her name here, but you can google her Naturopathic doctor Tyler Texas- I’m in CA)
Sounds just like breast implant illness! I’ve gone through menopause early and a lot of these symptoms you speak on I never had ! I know someone who had breast implant illness this sounds so much like what she had ! I know you would hate to give those up but your health is much more important! 💕💕
I’m a lot older than you Lisa, and I can say its good on the other side once you have all of that behind you. Speaking of “behind”, you gave me a belly laugh with your hand gesture on “no that kind of gas” and the wave out behind...so cute!!! You look fabulous by the way!!
I think as we go through the menopause us women over 50 think we are suddenly irrelevant to the world but you lisa, show that yes women can still look sexy and stunning!!!! You are a beautiful woman and watching your videos has given me the confidence again to think yes I am still a sexy woman! Thank you Lisa xxx
Hi Lisa, just wanted to say how admirable it is that you have consistently managed to stick to your convictions and genuine love of everything beauty and completely avoided/refused to acknowledge hateful, nonsensical scandals. You and Lisa Eldridge stand out from the rest for obvious reasons, ppl come here for you! I watch you because I share your love of Beauty. You're a sweet soul. I'm really disgusted and disappointed with RUclips and praying the world heals and our youth are given some positive, solid mentors. We need love more than ever. Love each other as I have loved you 🙈🙉🙊
Lisa I’m so happy you are discussing this subject! Why does it still seem to be so taboo!! All of us women have to go through this sooner or later and we should all try to support each other!
Such a great,informative video! Thank you Lisa for speaking up about all the symptoms...I was having them too and started watching Menopause Taylor and her information saved my life haha! I am now seeing a menopause specialist and I feel like I have an advocate to help me thru it! ❤
I am 63 and post menopausal. I take bio-identical hormones. I began menopause at age 46, I didn’t know a thing!!! I was having all those issues and more. Anxiety and major panic attacks, never sleeping, feeling like your having a heart attack. Hot flashes, night sweats..etc. still have some of these I had to get on sleeping pills and anxiety meds, I fought them for years but at the time I couldn’t leave my house. I had to do something. Things are better now but I am having that weight issue around my waist, and I work out constantly. Looking forward for your video on that. And yes, you have to go to many doctors that “get”!!
Girl, I feel your pain and can’t wait for the next video. I’m 55 & have had Crohn’s for years. I’ve struggled myself into depression. God bless you girl!
I had a full hysterectomy at 38 and so went straight into menopause. I’m 65 now and have no symptoms - I hope you get through this as well as you can xx
You talked about so many things that I am going thru and I thought I was the only one. The aches, the stomach issues are thru the roof and cannot lose weight so Im focusing on holding my weight where it is for now.
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing your journey. Omg, falling I can relate to among other symptoms. As a woman we need to celebrate our milestones. Happy your feeling better!
Menopause isn't easy but I promise Lisa there is life after it! Its years behind me now and I've learned to adjust to the changes and embrace them. xoxo
Great video. Most important conversations we need to have 💖 I am barely starting at 53. Here they consider 2 years no cycle, hormones increase/decreased and ovarian shrinkage. Everyone's destination is the same, it's just the journey getting there could be different. 🤪
I just love you....thank you so much for this video and I look forward to the weight loss video. I like how you said menopause for you has nothing to do with age. I agree. I honestly think it has more to do with all the physical symptoms. Some women go through extreme physical pain. Menopause can actually make you feel like you are losing your mind. I wish there was a magic pill for women during this time. 🙏🏼 I loved your stories about you and John. You smile so big when you talk about him. ❤️
No one talks about Menopause!! Woman need to get a menopause specialist who can help them through the whole process, but they are hard to find. A regular gyno doesnt have the training!! Being educated is the best thing you can do I gotta say though, I love not having my Period anymore!!❤❤ Woo hoo! I'm still working through mood swings, but the HAIR LOSS AND Thinning dry hair, is the WORST! I'm searching for the best hair products to help my hair grow and thicken up! I will look up what you are using for hair❤ For weight loss, diet and exercise is everything!! You look Gorgeous so whatever you are doing is working!! Woman over 50 are taking over the world so very excited you are Talking MENOPAUSE❤❤❤
I cannot use anything but Dove now. My ENTIRE and I mean ENTIRE body, parts and all, are sooooooo sensitive. My cycle is completely messed up. Thinning hair- yep! Joint pain- I am doing cryotherapy! And as for most docs, they have no clue..they really don't!
Try Vanicream or Vanisoap its the best and effective brand. I have tried everything under the sun and this is the only brand I found to be really respectful of my skin. It sold at Walmart and everywhere
I agree - most doctors don’t have a clue ! Women’s bodies are true miracles and are soooooooo complex. Yes, menopause CAN be a bear ..... but thankfully we women are so good at building community that we have each other to bounce things off of and help get us through these sometimes confusing times with love, understanding, and even laughter. Thanks, Lisa ! 💕
I am 45 and I have noticed the hair thinning pretty significant. My hair was always so thick and curly my whole life. I also, now have, out of nowhere, this weird bladder issue where it’s always uncomfortable and has a burn type feeling but there is no UTI. The MENTAL struggle is real with dealing with the changes of getting older. I hate the word menopause as well because I relate it to negative things. I don’t want to lose my femininity. It means so much to me. I appreciate your video. I am glad I just discovered you. You are lovely.
I really enjoy your videos. I don’t have a relationship with my mother, so every time you talk about all sorts of topics it really feels like I’m getting motherly advice. Please don’t take that as me calling you old, you’re not! I love your spirit, you seem so sweet and kind. You said you have a September birthday? My birthday is in September too. I’m curious, are you a virgo or a Libra?
I love this video! I am 39 and my mom started going through menopause sometime between 40-45 so I am trying to get myself as prepared as I possibly can. She has had a hard time emotionally and I dread that part the most. I am already so clumsy I might need to wear full body pads. Lol! It seems like a lot of women have the same common symptoms that doctors say aren't from menopause. As I am getting older I feel like my PMS symptoms are more and more similar to menopause symptoms. I don't know if that's a thing or not. :)
I was very lucky to have very little in the way of menopause symptoms. I did almost complete menopause and then had start over again. I have just completed it 100% at 55. Glad to be done! I feel perfectly fine ! 💁🏻💕 You look perfect as usual! Have a great day ❤️
I am so glad I came across this! I identified with all of it. Especially the naps and aches and pains. I was also just telling a girlfriend I feel like a watermelon with legs and a head!
Beautiful ! Thank you so much for sharing. Women are Amazing... we really do offer this world so much... I Love this video and so happy you speak from your heart about our journey as a Beautiful and Powerful Woman going through this process. xoxo
Hi Lisa, I turned 50 in January and have been having symptoms since 2016. Foggy brain, poor balance, very dry skin especially to my face. Joint pains and feeling very lethargic to the point that I had a difficult time wake up every morning. I’m on Bio-T hormone replacement and my life changed. Menopause is no joke and is here ☹️ Congratulations on your weight loss 😊
oh wow..... I started going thru menopause at 43... Every month I was taking pregnancy tests because I had no idea why I was missing my periods the way I was. Needless to say... I was completely post menopausal by 45. It was a crazy time... and I'm glad its all behind me. The only symptom I really never had was hot flashes... but thinning hair/ weight (belly) gain etc.... had it all - and I am still a work in progress but I stay on myself (and its hard) to keep my weight etc. in check! I won't give up on me.......
Omg !! I'm SO GLAD I FOUND YOU !!!!! GOD BLESS YOU .... I only 44 , but I'm having so many weird ' things going on I tried to ask my mom *( she is literally insane : ( ) but she says she dont remember do no help there .

I dont have insurance right now so I'm just doing what i can uknow but yes the rash started there on my lower back where i keep my feet propped up and then i got a lil big of rash bumps under my right boob *( I got big boobys bu tf mostly skin and fat now lol ) I lost slot of weight a few years ago right now I'm 5'7" and 192 to 196 lpds which on charts should be size 12 . Well not with all my loose skin : ( I still wear my 16 there just loose now .. and il can wear a 14 buy only sometimes cuz sometimes my stomach hurts so bad I have to wear stretch shorts or pants . And recently my stomach has been swelling past just the food baby stage ' ... it's been huge and hard and painful : ( I looked like a crazy person last year went to er with all these l shaped and diff shaped sharpied so they could see all these hard spots I feel and when I push on them really painfully *( I think they are scare tissue from a endometriosis surgery removal I had done back on 2004) buy drs in er tried to tell me thier just fat noduels " I'm like really ?

Yes I had most of these issues as well as some other unmentionable issues in my female zone! Thank goodness for bio identical HRT! I had no idea it’s so essential to replace hormones! So glad I found this out . In the UK Drs are so not interested or informed in this area and bio identical hormones not easy to access! It has changed everything ! Great video Lisa ❤️
Hi Lisa! My symptoms are not that bad (or that many), luckily. However, I did have hip joints pain as well as neck and shoulders pain/stiffness. I started doing 20/30 min of yoga every morning and it has improved so much. I never thought I would do yoga but here I am and happy to do it! 😊. Thanks for sharing! Hugs from Canada! 🇨🇦❤️
I was nodding my head in agreement so much of this video. Yes, it can be tough. For me it was the mood swings and depression. Now that I am through it and looking back it all makes sense. The memory gaps were the worst. Thanks for making this video. Can't wait for the weight loss video.
Lisa, it may be too late for you, but if your grandmother still has issues with hot flashes, have her check out Tempurpedic's Cooling Mattress Pad. I've tried many so called cooling mattress pads, but they don't work, but Tempurpedics really does work. Even my cleaning lady ask me why my mattress pad is so cold.
I started using Monat and it made such a difference then as I’m going thru menapause it started working opposite, more hair loss during washing so I’ve stopped! I love Colleen Rothschild! I’ve started HRT and am beginning to feel like me again!!!!
I’m 53, and started experiencing chronic pain for months My OBGYN discovered a vitamin D deficiency and since starting supplements the change has been wonderful!!! Perhaps sharing this can help?
Hi Joey, was told that I had a low Vit D as well, I read that vitamin D increases calcium in the body but it has to be taken with Vit k2 which guides the Calcium into the bones and not to the arteries. Doctors seem to prescribe the Vitamin D but not the K2 I haven’t started mine because of this. 🌺
Just something to consider with joint pain... Collagen type II has been my lifesaver. There are 5 main types of collagen, most focus on skin and hair. Type II is for joints. I had pretty bad pain in my knees and ankles from years of running. I had been training for a half marathon a couple yers ago when it as at it's worst. I started taking a collagen II supplement and here I am 2 years later and pain free. Still running, ran another half marathon a couple months ago... no pain in my joints. It's amazing! I will never be without it...never! I'm so jealous of you right now though, because I just turned 50 and still getting my period every month like clockwork... no end in sight. Ugh! Enough already... both of my older sisters have gone thru menopause. Anyway, I'm ready for it! I recommend watching Menopause Taylor here on you tube. She has fully educated me on how to prepare for it and get thru it. She's amazing! Good luck on your journey :)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I wish more women would talk openly about what they go through. Can’t wait to watch your weight loss video! 💕
I enjoyed this video. At 52 I'm just starting to have some perimenopause symptoms. You are so right about not being able to sleep and weight around the middle when that has never been an issue before. I'm thinking about trying HRT cream, have you tried any HRT and if so, what is your experience with it? Looking forward to your follow up video
Thank you so much Lisa for these info videos been going thru similar symptoms for the longest time my Dr can never give me a definite answer but what I would always get with almost no fail it's all in your mind type of look, so frustrating I cannot thank you enough until know I was starting to think that I was going crazy .thank you for sharing your story 🌹 💕🙏
My mom went through it age 42. Fully stopped. I got tested early due to that, but I'm going on 48 and no sign yet, but I know it's not gonna be long now! I got tested because mom, when in her 50s, got diagnosed with full-blown osteoporosis (due to early menopause). She got put on bisphosponates (the big guns) and calcium along with it, and is mid 70s now and she needs to take this for the rest of her life! She keeps scoring quite low levels (it does get better each year, though). Very helpful video, Lisa! If you go through menopause early, you need to keep an eye on your bone density. A bone density test after menopause is a *must* and I know from experience what it can do if left too long (mom shrunk and got a curved back).
Lisa, thank you for addressing this! I have been following you for years and with your beauty and kindness and grace it's easy to forget that you are going through all these crazy things too. Menopause is hard and confusing! I find relief when other women talk about the difficulties I'm going through. Thank you🥰
So I’m fairly new to your channel. I think you are fantastic! I’m just turning 40 and find your channel so informative. You’re my inspiration for 50. You look awesome! Thank you for just being you and being entertaining. It’s refreshing during this time. I definitely have my notifications set for your videos! ❤️
Hi Lisa! Ugh....I hate these symptoms so bad. But wow...you brought up points that I have had and I am going through. The rashes, falling down, pain, etc..its good to know I'm not alone. ❤ Rindy
I remember those days, had surgical menopause at 33. Hope you have a great week and weekend. Love you Lisa, your the real deal, so honest & beautiful. Mary Ann in Tx.
OMG!!! Thank you so much for being real here! This is the first video of yours I’ve watched and I’m so glad I did! I’ve been so scared and like you paying for test after test and dr after dr...please continue to share your secrets...btw Susan Somers book Fabulous at Fifty was also an eye opener for me...have you had your thyroid checked I’ve recently found out all digestive and intestinal issues are tied to the thyroid...🥰 again thank you!
Lisa GREAT video! I am 60, 61 in October. I started M at 48ish or so. The mystery thing that was happening to me was I started losing my eyebrow hairs. Initially I thought, oh my goodness my thyroid is off, so I went to doctors had tests, bloodwork, & my thyroid was fine. I said oh could this be a part of menopause because I know people have different symptoms, some people get moody - I didn’t, or they gain a lot of weight; itchy like you mentioned; my hair did start thinning but nothing alarming cuz I was aging, but the fact that my eyebrows completely fell out, I’m like what is going on! Of course NO doctor would admit it was M or explain to me WHY my eyebrows were leaving my face!, My other big thing, once I really got into menopause, was the hot flashes, oh my God those lasted about 2 years, but of course when they first started out they were intense. I was so grateful when I was done with them because it was so embarrassing, you never knew when it was going to hit & just like you described - you could just feel the heat rising from your feet coming up to your head!!! It’s pretty much been smooth sailing these last 8 years or so. I really enjoyed this video, you are so right we as women are so amazing and the whole birth journey of creating life, I mean it’s amazing is absolutely amazing. I look forward to your videos coming up, oh I have lost about 10 pounds I’m feeling good, looking good, been exercising - life is good! We’re all got some good stories!!!! 😂
Dear Lisa, I had joint and hip pains. They disappeared almost overnight with HRT. Vitamin D is also very useful. If you don't have a history of breast or ovarian cancer in the family, I would recommend HRT.
Hi Lisa, I'm now 54, I started peri menopause at 51. Well I suffered itchy skin too, rashes...finally my skin is almost back to normal. I look forward to hearing about your weight loss. 💖😊
I can’t believe you mentioned your balance as being part of menopause for you. I had exactly the same thing happen to me. I’m an RN and have also been a lifelong dancer/ figure skater so def not clumsy & falling was def a menopause sign/ symptom. I thought I was alone with this one lol. Strange but I also have had the IBS symptoms and my docs thought I was nuts. I became hypersensitive to dairy that was never an issue for me in my life up until peri menopause or menopause. Hot flashes were my worst symptom. I couldn’t use warm/ hot water in the shower because it would set me off. I would sweat from every pore on my scalp. Sleeping is still a problem even though I’m through menopause. Menopause bothered me because I finally realized my childbearing years were completely over and that was sad for me even if I didn’t want any more children. Thanks for this video. Idk how I missed it until now.
Hi Lisa!!! Most beautiful and lovely lady on RUclips! I’ve been so curious about menopause since I know it will be here before I know it. It’s scary wondering what will happen! I don’t know how you can possibly be almost 50!!! Omg you make 50 look like the new 20!! In a good way!!! ❤️❤️❤️
At 62 I love everything about being a woman and am in total AWE of my body! I've experienced the beauty of puberty, giving birth to 3 healthy babies, menopause and I continue to age gracefully! ~Susanne xoxo
What a beautiful comment. ❤️
Menopause has destroyed me!!!!!!! Finally after 3 years just started HRT. Praying it's a god send!!!! Otherwise I might as well drop dead and I'm not even 50.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😭
Thank you Lisa for discussing this. I’m 55 soon 56 I’m a nurse since 1984. I’ve learned along the way as a woman and a nurse - listen to people. Just because it isn’t in the books we study does not mean that it isn’t a fact. Besides the books was mostly written and researched by men or at least that is true for Clinical learning in the 1980’s. I can recall people complaining of the same symptoms and the doctor brushing them off because it wasn’t written in the book he or she studied 🤨. In my early days I didn’t Take the time to listen either. I wish I could apologize for my early 20’s with clinical Patients.
But anyway thanks for opening up hopefully a conversation among women to share and support each other. Hopefully they can understand more and feel understood and not Made to feel
Crazy. My generation didn’t grow up Listening to other women discussing this And I hope this can help other women.
This video really makes us feel like where not alone in this rollercoaster ride of menopause!!💗💗
Thanks for talking about this subject. I'm grateful for the other women who talked to me about their experiences. That's how I got through the changes, which continue on some level. Doctors usually mean well, but they sometimes measure symptoms differently. Women helping women! Thank you Lisa❤
I started watching “menopause Taylor” here on RUclips, & she is sooo knowledgeable & helpful! I highly recommend her for those seeking information regarding menopause. Love your channel!
She's also pretty entertaining!
Carolyn Pyret Ha! You got that right!😉
I had a consult with her and she is so helpful!!
Essential for all women (and men)💋
Barbara Hoffman is another great person that is very informative and caring check out her videos, and words of wisdom
I’m only 25 but wow I love seeing mid age women on RUclips talking about beauty and everything. You’re gorgeous! :)
That’s awesome! So much to learn from these wise women. I’m 36 and I love watching too😀
@@soul_luv3710 I’m 35 and feel like I’m going through menopause 😂
Sometimes I feel de-feminized when the word “menopause” comes up. I turn 45 next week and I feel sexier now than I did in my 20’s. I feel like men think a woman is “washed up” if she’s in menopause or going through it, and I don’t like that negative connotation attached to the word. We are still feminine, sexy, sexual, loving, etc... It doesn’t define who we are.
I completely agree. Since I have been working with my ND, my breasts are more firm and perkier like --before kids;()) I definitely feel sexier also!
Mandi Hixson Agree ! It's like putting a bullseye on women's backs and drawing unnecessary attention to a normal biological stage . When women need to work longer than ever all this 'clarion call ' attention makes younger colleagues, bosses and kids unnaturally aware of a very normal phase in a woman's life . It's not like we shine spotlights and devote endless YT videos to the topic of our daughters starting their menstruation . . I believe the topic needs discussion but every mature age YT is on the bandwagon & seem so self absorbed & obsessed w their own journey ....carry on as if they are the first generation to go thru it . It's becoming quite counterproductive as the image of a woman passing from fertile goddess into the myths of the 'old crone' only become larger than life . All very self indulgent !!
I agree to the MAX!! I hate it, too! 😜❤️ Lisa

You don’t ever get through it girl! I’m 64 and still have hot flashes and the memory loss, the weight gain, the not being able to sleep is still affecting me. Looking forward to your weight loss video Lisa!
Gosh I would not have placed you at 64! You look so much younger :-)
Please try estrodial transdermal gel it works wonders !!!
Ska thank you ☺️☺️
Ruby where do I get it?? I’m willing to try anything.
I am the same age. Yes, the memory loss is real! Sleep...what is that?
I am going through pain right now. Hip, wrist, and my back are killing me. Balance, weight gain, Blood clot heavy periods, Digestion, constipation, nausea, burping, rib pain, headaches, anxiety, panic attacks, teethpain, and the list goes on. I hit premenopause early this yr and my life has been living hell. I am 45. God help me and all women going through this.
sally Daviston I’m 47 and suffer virtually all of the symptoms you describe, it’s so hard to go through. I feel your pain 😢
@@beckys6260 I suffered alot of the symptoms also which Sally D has. Coincidently all this started happening 2 days after i had botox done for the first time .A year later Im convinced its from the botox but who knows maybe it really was premenapause symptoms all along 😂
@@beckys6260 Its surely is a living hell. hugs to all of us going through this hell
@@MarieW_w4724 Can i ask what age you are. I never had btox. This sh_t just started out of the blue

I’m 52 and still in perimenopause. I’m sill dealing with the monthly, ugh. This is a subject I’m glad you’re discussing, since many that watch this channel are facing this time of life. Thanks Lisa!💕
Thank you, Holly! 💗 Lisa
Same 😫it’s all over the place not monthly😟
Judy Poppins I have had that happen a few times or it lasting longer than normal, but for the most part it’s still monthly for me.
Same Holly. 52 and monthly. When will it end? 😲
Holly I am 51 and still get mine every month. Can’t wait for it to be gone for good😩
Love you so much Lisa❤️ I cant tell how much this video helped me understand everything I’m going through right now. I’m 45 and starting to have those “high school periods” and also after all these years of having my period like clockwork I’m now becoming irregular 🤦🏻♀️. Thank you for all you do for us and the inspiration you have been to me for so many years. You are a true class act and a blessing to us all🥰😘
Eating a tablespoon of ground flaxseed daily got me through menopause and I still use it decades later for vaginal health. It balances female hormones and prevents breast cancer. Lots of info about it on RUclips.
Thank you for sharing your menopause journey. As always you have a healthy attitude and your right about being in a better place emotionally as we age. Love you. 🥰
OMG!! Thank you so much for doing this video. I know I started going through menopause around 45. My OB/GYN poo-pooed my suspicions. She said I was too young and we would discuss, when I was closer to 50. I should have ran away and quickly. I suffered for years and am now through the worst of it. However, I will say...always listen to your body and if your doctor doesn’t take your concerns seriously - find one who will! 👊🏻
I cannot believe how many of the things you discussed that I went through as well. Some of which I didn’t even relate to menopause but now hearing you say them, it makes complete since. Thanks for sharing!
Sharing your story will help so many women who are going through the same situation but are afraid to talk about it. Bravo Lisa, you're such an inspiration to all of us!
I completely agree!!!!
Thank you Thank you so much. I'm 53 and in Peri Menopause and I experience all of your same symptoms. Looking for the light at the end of the tunnel 👍Always glad to hear other women are going thru the same thing❤. I look foward to your weight loss video 😊
Hey Lisa! As soon as I turned 40 my body starting changing Before I had no problem with losing weight then all of the sudden I couldn’t, then my bones would ache, losing hair etc I Was a mess! I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism changed my life! Then Around 50 I entered into menopause! The joys of being a woman! Thank you Lisa for making this video ❤️🤗💕
Thank you SO much for addressing menopause. I'm 44 and through it as well (early I know). The medical community needs so much more training and education. Most everything on your list I went through and am still going through today. The absolute WORST for me is waking up soaking wet! We all need to break the stigma of this stage in our lives!!💞
Lisa - this has got to be one of my favorite videos you've made. I have watched you for years and you are my favorite RUclips by far. I am 57 and I just completed menopause. I really resonated with your honesty and perspective of the glory of being a woman and the miracle of bringing life into this world. So so true. When I was pregnant with both of my sons, I felt like I was living in grace. I loved every single minute and I felt that way about being a mom too. It was the happiest and most fulfilling times of my life. So back to this video, more than anything I felt like we were besties sitting at the kitchen table chatting about life. You are a wonderful inspiration and your humor is the best salve especially in times like this. You have a beautiful family (animals too!) and it's great to hear how everyone is doing. Bless you and yours. Keep these wonderful videos coming.
I had my first hot flash in a department store when I was 40 and was done menopause at 44. From 42-44 I took HRT but I gained weight and felt like a had a layer of fat and water all over my body. I was so irritable, angry and depressed. Hot flashes and night sweats. The last thing to go is the night sweats. I still get them especially when I drink wine. I also still struggle with getting a good and uninterrupted night’s sleep. What else?? Dry vagina - oh man, not pleasant!! I take Vagifem for that. About balance - I’m now 67 but since I’ve turned 60, I have fallen and sprained my ankle, broken my wrist and my shoulder in three separate falls. I think that’s it. Ha! It’s enough!! Anyone who says menopause is in our heads clearly hasn’t experienced it. Thanks for sharing your journey Lisa ❤️.
There is no such thing as going through menopause in 2 yrs. It lasts from 10 to 15 yrs and then some!!!!
Anne-Marie Landry amen to that it’s horrible !!!😬
Jordana Dewbury I don’t think I said that. From the time I had my first hot flash until my last period was four years. Symptoms went on for years and still do.
I can’t thank you enough from the bottom of my heart for this video. It almost brought me to tears. I’m only 45 and have been having so many strange symptoms coming and going for the last year that I’ve never experienced before. I’ve been going through all the same things with drs as you did. Mainly migraines, sporadic hot flashes, stomach issues and sleep disruptions. I’m healthy, eat well and exercise. And drs always say 45 is too young for menopause or (peri). But that’s what I’ve being chalking it up to. I soooo appreciated you talking about it in such a real way. Did you know that most Drs spend as little as 20 hrs total on menopause in medical school?! And it seems to be such a forbidden negative topic in society. Thank you for bringing it into the light with the sunshine you cast. Please....keep doing more. My mom is not around anymore to talk to about these issues. Thx! 😘
45 is not to young for per-menopause that is age i started then 53 started menopause.
Everything you talk about here I have or currently am experiencing.
My menopause started about 3 years ago. I'm 56.
I have every symptom you mentioned.
The painful joints, IBS-d, weight gain in my middle, chest breaking out, weird sensitivities...etc...
Also something that was happening to me and making me laugh a little was forgetfulness!
I'd forget something someone may have just said to me. I'd get so embarrassed but just try to laugh it off.
It's all been a learning experience for me.
I was diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome by a rheumatologist about a year ago. It was determined with a blood test.
That partially explains my joint pain and believe it or not, IBS can also be a symptom as well as other things.
Thank you for addressing all this.
It helps to listen to others experiencing the same things.
Looking forward to your weight loss video!
💜
Amen to the woman’s body being a miracle ❤️
Girl...
hip pain, yes! Doctors discount it but it’s REAL. 🙌🙌🙌. I never thought about it being part of menopause. So glad you brought it up. Not only my hip, joints in general.
Thank you Lisa for being so open on this subject. I’m 56 and like you went through Menopause at 50.
I’m 5ft 10 and most of my life was very thin/could eat anything I’d want. Now I’m 30 lbs over weight and most of my weight gain has been in my tummy mid section. Sometimes I feel like it’s impossible to lose weight :((
Weight loss during menopause deserves a SERIES........UGH😢😥
I really loved hearing about your nap times at Grandma’s House... you really took us there💗
I need a nap now🤗
Soooo happy to see this video!!! I’m 54 and in peri menopause. I have the same symptoms and doctors act like it’s all in my head 🤦♀️. Thank you so much for sharing your experience
I have loved you and your channel for so many years now but I have to say this video and the remaining of this series will be my favorite!!!! I am 56 and officially hit menopause a year ago. I can relate to so much of this and to be honest hearing other women have gone through the same stuff is soooooo comforting. I still get tummy bloating and pain, hot flashes, some brain fog and went from 8to9 hours of sleep at night to 6 hours so I feel tired. Thank you for doing this series and being so open. You are the sweetest! Big hugs!!!!
I am turning 51 this month and I have been experiencing some of the less common symptoms of menopause that you mentioned, like wrist pain, knee pain and also neck pain, I had night sweating for awhile but now it’s gone, digestion issues, specially intestinal pain, gas, bloating, heartburn, vertigo and balance issues, I too had to give up high heels, also memory loss on top of everything.
Loving your content. I am 46 and going through menopause and it helps having someone who understands to listen to🙏
Thank you so much for doing this video! I am just starting going through this and have nobody to ask about symptoms! Now I feel so much better knowing I’m not crazy and I’m going to be okay!
DITTO! The hair loss and the joint pain, weight gain and the power surges(hot flashes)....the struggle is beastly!
I'm 38, 39 in a couple of months, and have been having perimenopause symptoms for over a year now. It's frustrating when doctors do not want to even listen because "you're too young". It's helpful to hear from other women who understand. 💗
I know!! Listen to your body and trust yourself! Thank you for watching! 🥰 Lisa
My pre-menopausal started around 45 and completely ended at 47. However the heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, hip/joint pain, anxiety is still going on. So exhausting
Thank you so much for this video! I turn 50 next week and haven’t had a period in over 2 years. People react like it’s weird that it’s so early but my doctor said that’s perfectly normal. I have the sensitive chest skin as well.
Thanks for this Lisa. I’m through menopause, but I’m finding I’m losing my patience so easily these days. It’s very hard for family and friends to understand as it’s so out of character for me. I’ve always been a very placid natured person, but sometimes I feel I could just either breakdown in tears or scream out loud. You feel like you’re going crazy at times. I’m 50 yrs and not had a period year past April...... I can cope with the other symptoms, but I’m finding this irritability so difficult to handle ❤️
Try taking a B12 pill everyday
Jennifer M thank you so much, I will get some today xxx
I have been working with a Naturopathic doctor virtually. She’s a women’s only doc. Getting your hormones balanced will balance your thyroid and your neurotransmitters (mood sleep) I feel like a young carefree 20yo again without a period! Win win! (I don’t want to give her name here, but you can google her Naturopathic doctor Tyler Texas- I’m in CA)
🤣🤣 me too. i’m 50 and just becoming a crotchety disgruntled person. everyone annoys me these days
Look into hormone replacement!
Sounds just like breast implant illness! I’ve gone through menopause early and a lot of these symptoms you speak on I never had ! I know someone who had breast implant illness this sounds so much like what she had ! I know you would hate to give those up but your health is much more important! 💕💕
Thanks for talking about menopause. I have no idea wtf to expect, like it's a big mystery.
I know!! Even my mom could not relate to some of my symptoms! Thank you for watching! 💗 Lisa
Your hair is beautiful I have noticed even without extensions I love it
My chest is a mess! And I feel better knowing others feel the way I do! I’m 49 and sometimes feel so alone in this! Thank you for this video!❤️
I’m a lot older than you Lisa, and I can say its good on the other side once you have all of that behind you. Speaking of “behind”, you gave me a belly laugh with your hand gesture on “no that kind of gas” and the wave out behind...so cute!!! You look fabulous by the way!!
I think as we go through the menopause us women over 50 think we are suddenly irrelevant to the world but you lisa, show that yes women can still look sexy and stunning!!!! You are a beautiful woman and watching your videos has given me the confidence again to think yes I am still a sexy woman! Thank you Lisa xxx
Hi Lisa, just wanted to say how admirable it is that you have consistently managed to stick to your convictions and genuine love of everything beauty and completely avoided/refused to acknowledge hateful, nonsensical scandals. You and Lisa Eldridge stand out from the rest for obvious reasons, ppl come here for you! I watch you because I share your love of Beauty. You're a sweet soul. I'm really disgusted and disappointed with RUclips and praying the world heals and our youth are given some positive, solid mentors. We need love more than ever. Love each other as I have loved you 🙈🙉🙊
Thank you so much!! Very nice! 🥰 Lisa
@@LisaLisaD1 my absolute pleasure! I'm sure that I'm not alone in my thoughts. You're a class act✌️🌷
Lisa I’m so happy you are discussing this subject! Why does it still seem to be so taboo!! All of us women have to go through this sooner or later and we should all try to support each other!
Such a great,informative video! Thank you Lisa for speaking up about all the symptoms...I was having them too and started watching Menopause Taylor and her information saved my life haha! I am now seeing a menopause specialist and I feel like I have an advocate to help me thru it! ❤
I am 63 and post menopausal. I take bio-identical hormones. I began menopause at age 46, I didn’t know a thing!!! I was having all those issues and more. Anxiety and major panic attacks, never sleeping, feeling like your having a heart attack. Hot flashes, night sweats..etc. still have some of these I had to get on sleeping pills and anxiety meds, I fought them for years but at the time I couldn’t leave my house. I had to do something. Things are better now but I am having that weight issue around my waist, and I work out constantly. Looking forward for your video on that. And yes, you have to go to many doctors that “get”!!
Girl, I feel your pain and can’t wait for the next video. I’m 55 & have had Crohn’s for years. I’ve struggled myself into depression. God bless you girl!
I really want to hear what’s been helpful for you . I’m there too. It’s pronounced. cal-SED-knee
I had a full hysterectomy at 38 and so went straight into menopause. I’m 65 now and have no symptoms - I hope you get through this as well as you can xx
You talked about so many things that I am going thru and I thought I was the only one. The aches, the stomach issues are thru the roof and cannot lose weight so Im focusing on holding my weight where it is for now.
Your not alone, me too
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing your journey. Omg, falling I can relate to among other symptoms. As a woman we need to celebrate our milestones. Happy your feeling better!
Lisa! Your story is like a mirror!! ALL of IT!! I am feeling SO much better this year though! Whew!
OMG Lisa, thank you for the honest and frank discussion about menopause! It’s so refreshing Bless you xoxo 😘
Menopause isn't easy but I promise Lisa there is life after it! Its years behind me now and I've learned to adjust to the changes and embrace them. xoxo
Great video. Most important conversations we need to have 💖 I am barely starting at 53. Here they consider 2 years no cycle, hormones increase/decreased and ovarian shrinkage. Everyone's destination is the same, it's just the journey getting there could be different. 🤪
This was one of my favorite videos you’ve done! Thank you 😊
I just love you....thank you so much for this video and I look forward to the weight loss video.
I like how you said menopause for you has nothing to do with age. I agree. I honestly think it has more to do with all the physical symptoms.
Some women go through extreme physical pain. Menopause can actually make you feel like you are losing your mind.
I wish there was a magic pill for women during this time. 🙏🏼
I loved your stories about you and John. You smile so big when you talk about him. ❤️
No one talks about Menopause!! Woman need to get a menopause specialist who can help them through the whole process, but they are hard to find. A regular gyno doesnt have the training!! Being educated is the best thing you can do I gotta say though, I love not having my Period anymore!!❤❤ Woo hoo! I'm still working through mood swings, but the HAIR LOSS AND Thinning dry hair, is the WORST! I'm searching for the best hair products to help my hair grow and thicken up! I will look up what you are using for hair❤ For weight loss, diet and exercise is everything!! You look Gorgeous so whatever you are doing is working!!
Woman over 50 are taking over the world so very excited you are Talking MENOPAUSE❤❤❤
I cannot use anything but Dove now. My ENTIRE and I mean ENTIRE body, parts and all, are sooooooo sensitive. My cycle is completely messed up. Thinning hair- yep! Joint pain- I am doing cryotherapy! And as for most docs, they have no clue..they really don't!
Try Vanicream or Vanisoap its the best and effective brand. I have tried everything under the sun and this is the only brand I found to be really respectful of my skin. It sold at Walmart and everywhere
Try the Estrogen patch. It’s helps.
Kk
I agree - most doctors don’t have a clue ! Women’s bodies are true miracles and are soooooooo complex. Yes, menopause CAN be a bear ..... but thankfully we women are so good at building community that we have each other to bounce things off of and help get us through these sometimes confusing times with love, understanding, and even laughter. Thanks, Lisa ! 💕
Do get your thyroid checked i was hyperthyroid. Also my vitamin d3 was very low. My hot flashes and joint pain greatly improved.
I am 45 and I have noticed the hair thinning pretty significant. My hair was always so thick and curly my whole life. I also, now have, out of nowhere, this weird bladder issue where it’s always uncomfortable and has a burn type feeling but there is no UTI. The MENTAL struggle is real with dealing with the changes of getting older. I hate the word menopause as well because I relate it to negative things. I don’t want to lose my femininity. It means so much to me. I appreciate your video. I am glad I just discovered you. You are lovely.
The burning/uti feel is a symptom of menopause...go figure. I think your gyno can help.
I really enjoy your videos. I don’t have a relationship with my mother, so every time you talk about all sorts of topics it really feels like I’m getting motherly advice. Please don’t take that as me calling you old, you’re not! I love your spirit, you seem so sweet and kind. You said you have a September birthday? My birthday is in September too. I’m curious, are you a virgo or a Libra?
Nic Herrera I’m on the second September so Lisa is a virgo as well.
I love this video! I am 39 and my mom started going through menopause sometime between 40-45 so I am trying to get myself as prepared as I possibly can. She has had a hard time emotionally and I dread that part the most. I am already so clumsy I might need to wear full body pads. Lol! It seems like a lot of women have the same common symptoms that doctors say aren't from menopause. As I am getting older I feel like my PMS symptoms are more and more similar to menopause symptoms. I don't know if that's a thing or not. :)
Same thing here...😓
I was very lucky to have very little in the way of menopause symptoms. I did almost complete menopause and then had start over again. I have just completed it 100% at 55. Glad to be done! I feel perfectly fine ! 💁🏻💕 You look perfect as usual! Have a great day ❤️
I am so glad I came across this! I identified with all of it. Especially the naps and aches and pains.
I was also just telling a girlfriend I feel like a watermelon with legs and a head!
Beautiful ! Thank you so much for sharing. Women are Amazing... we really do offer this world so much... I Love this video and so happy you speak from your heart about our journey as a Beautiful and Powerful Woman going through this process. xoxo
Hi Lisa, I turned 50 in January and have been having symptoms since 2016. Foggy brain, poor balance, very dry skin especially to my face. Joint pains and feeling very lethargic to the point that I had a difficult time wake up every morning. I’m on Bio-T hormone replacement and my life changed. Menopause is no joke and is here ☹️ Congratulations on your weight loss 😊
oh wow..... I started going thru menopause at 43... Every month I was taking pregnancy tests because I had no idea why I was missing my periods the way I was. Needless to say... I was completely post menopausal by 45. It was a crazy time... and I'm glad its all behind me. The only symptom I really never had was hot flashes... but thinning hair/ weight (belly) gain etc.... had it all - and I am still a work in progress but I stay on myself (and its hard) to keep my weight etc. in check!

You talking about your sweet Grandmother is precious. I have the same memories of my Mimmaw. Precious! Precious Precious memories!
Yes I had most of these issues as well as some other unmentionable issues in my female zone! Thank goodness for bio identical HRT! I had no idea it’s so essential to replace hormones! So glad I found this out . In the UK Drs are so not interested or informed in this area and bio identical hormones not easy to access! It has changed everything ! Great video Lisa ❤️
Aren’t you afraid of the bio identical hormone therapy. I read very negative things about it
Hi Lisa! My symptoms are not that bad (or that many), luckily. However, I did have hip joints pain as well as neck and shoulders pain/stiffness. I started doing 20/30 min of yoga every morning and it has improved so much. I never thought I would do yoga but here I am and happy to do it! 😊. Thanks for sharing! Hugs from Canada! 🇨🇦❤️
So happy your are talking about this! It's a very important subject for women going through it now or to just prepare for the future!
I was nodding my head in agreement so much of this video. Yes, it can be tough. For me it was the mood swings and depression. Now that I am through it and looking back it all makes sense. The memory gaps were the worst. Thanks for making this video. Can't wait for the weight loss video.
Thank you for VIDEO . I am 50 and going through menopause, this helps greatly.
Thank you so much for this video. It was informative and helpful.
Please please do the video on weight loss, this is such a struggle for me.
Lisa, it may be too late for you, but if your grandmother still has issues with hot flashes, have her check out Tempurpedic's Cooling Mattress Pad. I've tried many so called cooling mattress pads, but they don't work, but Tempurpedics really does work. Even my cleaning lady ask me why my mattress pad is so cold.
I started using Monat and it made such a difference then as I’m going thru menapause it started working opposite, more hair loss during washing so I’ve stopped! I love Colleen Rothschild!
I’ve started HRT and am beginning to feel like me again!!!!
I found using Hairmax and taking finasteride through my dermatologist has helped tremendously.
You are very good at explanations and a lot of women will benefit from your experiences!
Beautiful video! Lisa, thanks for sharing your personal experiences. You are a strong and beautiful woman 💗
Thank you so much! 🌺 Lisa
I’m 53, and started experiencing chronic pain for months
My OBGYN discovered a vitamin D deficiency and since starting supplements the change has been wonderful!!! Perhaps sharing this can help?
🌟🙏🏻🌟
I was low on vitamin D too!! Pay attention ladies.
Vitamin d deficiency simptom is cronic pain. I take 2000 iu before bed.Cronic pain gone.
Take Vitamin D3 2000 IU's everyday. Love it.
Hi Joey, was told that I had a low Vit D as well, I read that vitamin D increases calcium in the body but it has to be taken with Vit k2 which guides the Calcium into the bones and not to the arteries. Doctors seem to prescribe the Vitamin D but not the K2 I haven’t started mine because of this. 🌺
Just something to consider with joint pain... Collagen type II has been my lifesaver. There are 5 main types of collagen, most focus on skin and hair. Type II is for joints. I had pretty bad pain in my knees and ankles from years of running. I had been training for a half marathon a couple yers ago when it as at it's worst. I started taking a collagen II supplement and here I am 2 years later and pain free. Still running, ran another half marathon a couple months ago... no pain in my joints. It's amazing! I will never be without it...never! I'm so jealous of you right now though, because I just turned 50 and still getting my period every month like clockwork... no end in sight. Ugh! Enough already... both of my older sisters have gone thru menopause. Anyway, I'm ready for it! I recommend watching Menopause Taylor here on you tube. She has fully educated me on how to prepare for it and get thru it. She's amazing! Good luck on your journey :)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I wish more women would talk openly about what they go through. Can’t wait to watch your weight loss video! 💕
I enjoyed this video. At 52 I'm just starting to have some perimenopause symptoms. You are so right about not being able to sleep and weight around the middle when that has never been an issue before. I'm thinking about trying HRT cream, have you tried any HRT and if so, what is your experience with it? Looking forward to your follow up video
HRT
made a huge difference for me, it helped with fatigue, sweats, and skin.💗
@@Kellybird12 Thank you so much for responding!
@Jellybean Thank you! I bought a couple brands (Emerita and Lifeflo) to try. Thanks so much for responding I appreciate it!
@Shirley Sambrano I've been trying this and hopefully will help. Thank you for responding, I appreciate it
Beauty By Anne-Marie I began taking Bijuva in December 2019. Love it! Good luck on finding what works for you.
Thank you so much Lisa for these info videos been going thru similar symptoms for the longest time my Dr can never give me a definite answer but what I would always get with almost no fail it's all in your mind type of look, so frustrating I cannot thank you enough until know I was starting to think that I was going crazy .thank you for sharing your story 🌹 💕🙏
Thank you, Lisa for this video. I now have confirmation that what I went through was definately the "change of life".
My mom went through it age 42. Fully stopped. I got tested early due to that, but I'm going on 48 and no sign yet, but I know it's not gonna be long now! I got tested because mom, when in her 50s, got diagnosed with full-blown osteoporosis (due to early menopause). She got put on bisphosponates (the big guns) and calcium along with it, and is mid 70s now and she needs to take this for the rest of her life! She keeps scoring quite low levels (it does get better each year, though). Very helpful video, Lisa! If you go through menopause early, you need to keep an eye on your bone density. A bone density test after menopause is a *must* and I know from experience what it can do if left too long (mom shrunk and got a curved back).
Lisa, thank you for addressing this! I have been following you for years and with your beauty and kindness and grace it's easy to forget that you are going through all these crazy things too. Menopause is hard and confusing! I find relief when other women talk about the difficulties I'm going through. Thank you🥰
So I’m fairly new to your channel. I think you are fantastic! I’m just turning 40 and find your channel so informative. You’re my inspiration for 50. You look awesome! Thank you for just being you and being entertaining. It’s refreshing during this time. I definitely have my notifications set for your videos! ❤️
I pray that you don't have Fibromyalgia. I am disabled with it. Your all over pain
concerns me. Im praying for you
Oh, Lisa! You hit it right on the money! Listening to you and your experience was like reliving mine!!!!!!!! Exact!!!! Thank you for sharing!❤️
Hi Lisa! Ugh....I hate these symptoms so bad. But wow...you brought up points that I have had and I am going through. The rashes, falling down, pain, etc..its good to know I'm not alone. ❤ Rindy
I remember those days, had surgical menopause at 33. Hope you have a great week and weekend. Love you Lisa, your the real deal, so honest & beautiful. Mary Ann in Tx.
OMG!!! Thank you so much for being real here! This is the first video of yours I’ve watched and I’m so glad I did! I’ve been so scared and like you paying for test after test and dr after dr...please continue to share your secrets...btw Susan Somers book Fabulous at Fifty was also an eye opener for me...have you had your thyroid checked I’ve recently found out all digestive and intestinal issues are tied to the thyroid...🥰 again thank you!
Lisa GREAT video! I am 60, 61 in October. I started M at 48ish or so. The mystery thing that was happening to me was I started losing my eyebrow hairs. Initially I thought, oh my goodness my thyroid is off, so I went to doctors had tests, bloodwork, & my thyroid was fine. I said oh could this be a part of menopause because I know people have different symptoms, some people get moody - I didn’t, or they gain a lot of weight; itchy like you mentioned; my hair did start thinning but nothing alarming cuz I was aging, but the fact that my eyebrows completely fell out, I’m like what is going on! Of course NO doctor would admit it was M or explain to me WHY my eyebrows were leaving my face!, My other big thing, once I really got into menopause, was the hot flashes, oh my God those lasted about 2 years, but of course when they first started out they were intense. I was so grateful when I was done with them because it was so embarrassing, you never knew when it was going to hit & just like you described - you could just feel the heat rising from your feet coming up to your head!!! It’s pretty much been smooth sailing these last 8 years or so. I really enjoyed this video, you are so right we as women are so amazing and the whole birth journey of creating life, I mean it’s amazing is absolutely amazing. I look forward to your videos coming up, oh I have lost about 10 pounds I’m feeling good, looking good, been exercising - life is good! We’re all got some good stories!!!! 😂
My joint pain is so bad I can't walk anymore without a walker. My brain is young but my body in so much pain. Love You. God Bless You.💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
Upper abdominal bloating, pain in right shoulder and pain in stomach,nausea and diarrhea are symptoms of gallbladder
Dear Lisa, I had joint and hip pains. They disappeared almost overnight with HRT. Vitamin D is also very useful. If you don't have a history of breast or ovarian cancer in the family, I would recommend HRT.
Hi Lisa, I'm now 54, I started peri menopause at 51. Well I suffered itchy skin too, rashes...finally my skin is almost back to normal. I look forward to hearing about your weight loss. 💖😊
I can’t believe you mentioned your balance as being part of menopause for you. I had exactly the same thing happen to me. I’m an RN and have also been a lifelong dancer/ figure skater so def not clumsy & falling was def a menopause sign/ symptom. I thought I was alone with this one lol. Strange but I also have had the IBS symptoms and my docs thought I was nuts. I became hypersensitive to dairy that was never an issue for me in my life up until peri menopause or menopause. Hot flashes were my worst symptom. I couldn’t use warm/ hot water in the shower because it would set me off. I would sweat from every pore on my scalp. Sleeping is still a problem even though I’m through menopause. Menopause bothered me because I finally realized my childbearing years were completely over and that was sad for me even if I didn’t want any more children. Thanks for this video. Idk how I missed it until now.
Hi Lisa!!! Most beautiful and lovely lady on RUclips! I’ve been so curious about menopause since I know it will be here before I know it. It’s scary wondering what will happen! I don’t know how you can possibly be almost 50!!! Omg you make 50 look like the new 20!! In a good way!!! ❤️❤️❤️
