Actually, they do. I know three men that have testosterone issues and none are given injections because they’re not “bad enough” to be given anything more than a cream.
Period=I don't miss it, Hot Flashes=weird and not as uncomfortable as I assumed they would be and they fade, Mental Health=Better, I feel that hormonal craziness...Gone, feel more balanced, the blah feeling=I don't get worked up over drama, it's more like "hey, I don't bother with things that don't work for me" . I changed my diet to higher protein and no rules for anything else. If I don't feel amazing after eating it=bye bye it's off the menu. I don't take drugs, no replacement therapy.
I’ve never had any hormonal craziness or PMT, or any problems with my mood. So I’m dreading menopause.. I’ve heard it turns lovely women into angry old hags overnight… I’m just sooo scared
I'm watching this video and I've had to stop it because I'm shocked. I feel like crap every day of my life (it's been going on for over a year) and I have spent all my money and time in tests and treatments. This could be the key!! I'm 47 and I may be experiencing p-menopause! Thanks for this new approach!!!
Same!)) But I've figured out what was happening to me after 5 months by researching. I'm 42 and I had no energy (was feeling superb before). I was prescribed one hormone and I'm feeling muchuch better now! I started loving life again lol.
One little known symptom that I had (and went to a holistic doctor ) was all my joints ached! I got tested for EVERYTHING but in the end it was yet another symptom of menopause.
This is something I’ve just been tested for with no joy as to what it might be, so my next step is taking to my doctor about menopause being the cause. 🤞🏼
I didn’t have any symptoms either but my testosterone level was undetectable 😢 I’m hoping the testosterone cream will help me with the joint pain. What are you taking for your joint pain?
I took 3mg of Naltrexone. In higher amounts it is for drug abuse (not exactly sure) but it worked really well. I got it through a special pharmacy and I had to pay for it and not through insurance. @@jinchoi1261
I’m new to your channel and so glad I found you. This is a positive message that more women need to talk about. I’m 49 peri and working my way through this. I don’t want to be invisible and fade away 😊 I want to be the light that shines !
Peri-menopause was terrible, but everything has gotten better since I am fully in menopause for over a year now. During peri-men, I had hormone swings and felt crazy; but now that I'm in menopause, I only have problems with hot flashes and insomnia. At first the hot flashes were bad with sweat soaking my clothes. Since giving up both coffee and alcohol they are not a problem. They happen, but are mild and I don't sweat much, I just remove a layer of clothes. I think I now need less sleep- and if I meditate, do yoga and breathing exercises instead of watching youtube, the insomnia doesn't seem to hurt me. Menopause has asked me to approach life differently, and since I can do that it hasn't been too bad for me. I don't have health insurance and am not on any hormones, it's been a long time since I've seen a doctor for anything. I've lost my appetite, and after years of going up and down in weight, it's much easier to stay thin at fifty than in my twenties, thirties and early forties.
Thank you for sharing. I have just entered perimenopause and am so confused and feel moody and edgy all the time. I do not recognize myself some days. Good to know it gets better when menopause arrives. I drink coffee every day and was wondering how it effects my symptoms. I suspected it could exaggerate some things. So now I am going to try to stop drinking it. It is definitely a time to change many lifestyle habits.
I had no idea I was in perimenopause or menopause since I had a hysterectomy in 2011. When I finally figured it out 12 years later, I can't believe how little people talk about it. Thank you for sharing this info!
I read a medical journal piece that showed women who've had a hysterectomy, even with ovaries intact, may enter menopause 4 years earlier than women with both still intact. All the best.
Thank you!! 😊I hit menopause at the age of 47. 10 years later the symptoms began to decrease. I'm 59 now. Due to the loss of estrogen during menopause, I learned that consuming more protein became a game-changer for me. I don't overdo my workouts these days and I feel I'm looking, and feeling better. 😁👍I'm still a work-in-progress.
I was just tired in menopause… post-menopause caused a whole host of issues. I got GSM (genitourinary syndrome of menopause), dry skin (when I’ve been super oily my whole life), could only sleep for three hours a night, anxiety and panic attacks for no reason, ugh, the list goes on. I broke down and went on HRT despite my mother having breast cancer. We are very fortunate to have options for helping us navigate successfully through this life stage. Thanks for opening the discussion!
Look plantbased, lowfat whole grain, when you eat you meat, eat only meat with no more fat like 100g =3g fat. Eat much Brokkoli, coliflower, PacChoy, cabage, kale ect, Sojabeans 0,5 cooked beans, I take sojabeans in mixer and give some tasty herbal and eat with potatoes or vegetables. Fennelseed crashed and make in capsel or eat a little bit and take together. Milk products not very good because the have hormones inside , better your look for plamtbased Joghurt, Sojamilk al tasty different you must look which you like. The Fiver is very important, look whole grain All this I know from nutritionsFacts , 11 different Foodstuff which is very helpful to get better.
I have changed my diet, if you follow the principle of DailyDozen (you can include very low-fat animal products with a maximum of 3g fat per 100g in the plant-based diet); you can also eat 50-90g of cooked organic soya beans every 2 days, I always mix them into sauce, season them and put them over potatoes or vegetables. Also 1 teaspoon (2g) of freshly ground fennel seeds a day and 6g of freshly ground fenugreek, you can fill the spices into capsules yourself or simply eat them in mashed potatoes or another snack and swallow them.
There's so many variations. My friend had her female organs taken out at a young age, due to breast cancer & genetics, but she still looks & seems very young with no menopause symptoms?!...Is that still post-menopause?.. Thanks!-
I never had menopause symptoms. I am now 55 yo. I eat healthy and exercise and I couldn’t get rid of my belly pouch and love handles. At age 54 yo last year, I had tummy tuck and liposuction on my love handles and back in Miami. After that my body is washboard abs, snatched and looking like teenage body. I was glad I did it. My opinion, it’s better to do tummy tuck around middle 50s past menopause due to belly hormones if you have it.
My csection is so indented but insurance does not cover. Years trying to improve it but only surgery will take out the scar tissue. How is everyone affording it? Any tips?
@@gggggggggggggg41yes, it is. I think what she was trying to say is that she didn't have many of the typical symptoms, like hot flashes, night sweats, mood roller coaster...
@@GrowingThroughItAll that’s what I was wondering, if she already had that even when she was younger or was it menopause. Honestly I’m always looking to talk to the people who weren’t really affected that badly. I like to know if they did something different or just lucky with genetics.
As a "perennial crying woman in her 51", full of weight, of trouble, of hot fleshes, I want to Say thanks. Because it's really hard and your words are a great support and a Hope for the future...
Something I've really noticed since being in TBT is how much the American women in the group rely on doctors. I don't see doctors. I haven't for many years. Instead I see a naturopath. They are able to determine the root cause of disease, and prescribe natural supplements to rectify the issue. I'm in menopause. I had hot flushes for 6 months, and have been through the tiredness and crankiness, but mostly feel great since starting supplements. I would never use HRT and have not been on birth control since I was 30. Everyone is different, but I think it's important people consider the natural route with their health.
I just love you! You’re so relatable and genuine. I am 42 and obsessively preparing for menopause because I want to do whatever it takes to go through it easily without losing myself. No symptoms yet (fingers crossed), but videos like these are vital for us women right on the cusp of it so we can know exactly what to do and what to expect! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing that you got married at 40 and got kids after that. This gives me hope of life actually working out for me. I’m turning 36, no kids and not sure if I should divorce 😢
Same for me/ got married at 38 avenue ne got pregnant at 39 and gave birth at 40 for the first time. Don’t worry about having a child. You are young. Just make sure you have a baby with the person that you really love and want to share it with and that is going to be there everyday. Having a child is tough on the couple which is normal!🎉 😅 wishing you all the best and happiness. Take care.
I got married at 42 and had a child 1 month before my 43rd bday. My pregnancy was great. I only gained 22 lbs and worked out up to the birth. My child was healthy, bright and sweet. Don’t stress about being an older mom. Enjoy your life now. 😊
I married at 40 to a dude I met right out of HS. We chose not to have kids but still had plenty of time to decide. Really the best of both worlds, at least in this aspect.
When I was about your age, I thought that me and my husband had plenty of time, but 8 years on, still not pregnat. I wish I new in my 30ys what I know now: fertily declines at an incredibly rapid rate after 33. After 44 they won't even want to use your own eggs for IVF because the quality of eggs is not good enough anymore, they would insist on egg donation! And frankly, doing IVF does not guaranty pregnancy. Getting pregnat after 40 now I personnaly would call it a miracle. So, please, try to find time and talk to your genycologist or fertility spesialist about your fertility and possibly freezing your eggs (especially if you are not sure about your marriage), because 38 years is a limit for doing it, after you turn 38, they will not do it. Good luck, and find out as much as possible information now, so you will have no regrets later.
I am going through perimenopause, and it is sad to see menopause is not as much supported as it should be.. my general physician was no help. I will keep on searching until I find a physician that will be supportive of HRT and guide me through this time. Sad to see that this is the norm for many . Pretty frustrating. I will do my own research and am hopeful there is a fix out there that is a bit more up to date on the right approach on these changing/ challenging years. I refuse to be robbed of up to 10 years of being miserable without any help! I know I am not the only one 🙏❤️
Your not the only one I had a loved one pass away and thought it was my grief so was trying to nurture myself also a little denial as I look younger than 51. But now I’m kicking myself I didn’t get on something beneficial for myself asap all the best peace ❤ from Australia
Tracy, I love watching your videos! 😍 Tiredness was actually the only symptom I had. The game-changer for me was increasing my protein intake and taking a Vitamin B complex. Thank God I never had hot flashes; of course the one time I experienced it was when I was getting ready for the opera. 😂 I'm so glad that it was just a one-time experience in my life … 😆
I’m on HRT…which has been life changing❣️The #1 thing I found crazy, that NO one talks about, is that there is a definite window where you can start HRT….miss the window and you can NEVER start HRT.😮 20 years ago a friends mom told me that she would never go to a male gynecologist….I have found this to be useful advice.😉 I also read Suzanne Somers’ first book…before anyone was in the media talking about the symptoms that can start in 30’s/40’s and make women think the are crazy or depressed…Hello Peri-Menopausal life change…..ITS NOT YOU…ITS HORMONES ‼️❤️✨
Thank you for sharing because I’m 49 and feeling sluggish, which it’s not like me. I started watching you today and I can relate to your story and I’m thankful for coming across your video. I am an older first time mom as well and my daughter is 5 years old. For the past 3 months I’ve been feeling off and haven’t gotten my menstrual for 3 months and I agree with you on feeling weird not having it and feeling like something is up. It has affected me in many ways, yes especially the hot flashes..lol. So I want to thank you for speaking about menopause.
You are so wonderful. I wish I knew all of this before my body went crazy and I had no idea what was happening. No hot flashes ever!!! Just night sweets. I thought it was my sheets or anxiety. It was a warning, but I didn’t know it . Then all hormone levels dropped … huge depression and I tried to commit suicide that just came out of the blue. Blood work proved it all after a great doctor found it out. Sooo much better, but I am perimenopausal and I get tired even in HRT and thyroid . I get checked every 3 months . My body is different. My mental health is sooo much better, but I have to still watch it and it comes first. Women need to know . Thank you for being a voice . I am letting my girls know for sure !!!!❤
My kid is still a teen but I’m making her read a new book I just bought about menopause. I’ve not been myself for years but I thought it was just being the way I am. My own mom only had hot flashes which I don’t have yet. She didn’t have other symptoms like migraines and exhaustion. I hope health care improves drastically when she is older.
Wow, thank you for sharing your journey. Glad to hear your mental health is better and you are no longer suicidal. What an ordeal for you to have experienced! Stay safe and healthy 😊
It’s really refreshing to have these conversations. My friends at work and I were just talking about this last week - that no one really talks about menopause and there is no preparation! It’s like “boom,” here you are. I too was told I was fine after bloodwork. I thought no way! So I did my research too and found great a HRT specialist. My doc even cautioned me against it, believe it or not. I’m so happy I found you. Your honesty and advice is much appreciated. 🦋🦋🌞🌞
I'm so glad I found your channel. I just turned 45 yesterday, and I still get my periods monthly. However, I am noticing a difference in myself like my moods, very tired, feeling blah, etc, and it's driving me nuts. You are absolutely 💯 % on the fact that we are, our own advocates, and I definitely need to start having conversations with my Dr and hopefully be able to get a hormonal Dr. when need be. I also totally agree with you about the insurance part. This isn't anything new. Women should absolutely be covered with insurance so we can live our lives w/o being miserable through the entire menopause phase. I've always been a very energetic, positive person, so thank you for having this conversation 😊 xoxo
Please keep talking about menopause! I grew up in the 80s and was 33 yrs old when I had medical menopause. No one I knew was going through it. I'm incredibly grateful I had a wonderful MD who was there for me. Also went, and continue to be, on HRT. It saved my life...mentally and physically. We need to also be educating the men in our lives about it. What to look for as signs we need help, and who to call if we're unable to do it ourselves. ❤
OMG, I had extreme fatigue last year, and even now I feel so tired all the time, also huge anxiety and even depression, I thought it was because of a long series of unfortunate life events... But maybe it's also perimenopause (I'm 40).
I got Dr. Shawn Tassone to check my hormone and my progesterone was low. I thought I needed to check into an institution. I am grateful for women talking.
I love the content you bring each week. I’ve had a very rough time through my menopause experience for over 6 years (now 55) and still I struggle with symptoms. Women need to talk about it and docs and scientists need to study it and be informed. Thank you for using your platform to advocate for us all. I’ll be part of this community and willing to show up any way I can.
Thank for this video💕it’s really true whenever I ask older ladies that went already through menopause I get almost no clear answer! Maybe because everyone has a different experience? I know my mom, aunty and nana had menopause at around 60 year old which is pretty late I would think. I’m 48 now and still have my cycle but i definitely feel a constant low anxiety feeling that I didn’t had before. I’m glad there is a community here
My mom actually started at the age of 38 I'm 52 and started about 3 years ago and haven't done a dang thing about it because of how expensive it is but yeah this is no joke for sure.
I'm going to be 60 and just starting the journey. My mom was late so I expected it. Not sure how long it will last but I'm discussing the BioTE hormones with doc at next visit. I'm not suffering terribly but why suffer at all?
I just turned 50 in July and thanks to you I now know that I am normal and the symptoms that I am feeling are justified as menopause and I’m not loosing my mind. Your videos are so informative and sincere thanks again.
Omg I went years suffering from various symptoms all mostly related to the menopause, notably the low mood and complete utter fatigue which left me barely able to function. I recently relented and went on HRT and my life is finally improving, I have energy again and am happy! I’m 52 but I look like a 30 something year old, I think I’m finally feeling confident enough to keep up with my younger man 😌🥰
I've been in menopause for about six years and have been on HRT the whole time. While HRT, estrogen & progesterone helps some symptoms, its not perfect. It did help the hot flashes but I still can't seem to loose weight like I used to especially around the stomach, and still tired. I eat clean and walk everyday and that helps.
High fibre and high good quality protein with intermittent fasting will melt the weight away. Also lift weights, and lift heavy as possible in correct form.
Thank you so much for this video. I am 49 (september) also. 5 months ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I just finished my last chemo. Anyways, I learned that chemo has forced me into menopause. It has been a challenge on top of the chemo. first off, Id like to say all women should make sure they go for their mammograms and not put them off. I have no fanily history or had any symptoms... What has helped me the most in regards to menopause is my diet, supliments and moving around/exercise. Like you, i have had to change things up. I had been gaining weight from th steroids and hormones! Awful! Anyways, I appreciate your video and will subscribe. You look fantastic, btw.
I am 45 and I am really looking forward to hearing more about this. I lost an ovary due to a miscarriage in 2016. Then miraculously I got pregnant again and in 2018, my daughter was born and I had my tubes "tied." I wasn't too bad with my weight after giving birth, but I started to add the weight due to trying to manage all the things. 2020 came and there went the anxiety big time. I did your workouts again due to the special you had and then needed to stop due to expenses. I kept trying to workout, but time was not on my side, I was stressed as I was also homeschooling 2 of my kids and we were in the process of finding a house and moving. 2022 we moved and I received a job "promotion" - same job just different title and more work. My sleep has fallen to the wayside (I get about 4 hrs ave a night except on weekends when I can get about 8 - sometimes). I try to catch naps (3 hrs or so) when I can. I have no time to focus on better eating, but I think about it all the time. I hate cooking and I have to follow a recipe which takes time. I will say though that my meals are not completely bad, just not 100% the best (ex. meatloaf cooked on a broiler pan so the grease runs off with TONS of veggies in it and homemade applesauce on the side). I have been so depressed for the last few years. My cycle is all out of whack. I will usually have 1 week of flow and then a few days off and then about 4 more days of spotting. I assumed it was due to the tubes tied and everything. I do try to outsource. My husband cooks many times a week as well as helps with dishes. My kids have their chores which allows me to get other tasks done, but there is still so much - homeschooling 3 kids, working part time, and still managing the house, meal planning, and decluttering. Thank you for "listening" and sharing your experience.
Have a pap smear and make sure they use ThinPrep. That can be an issue, but best to see Dr. If you still don't feel right, keep going until you're able to address the issue.
The fact that u said woman with low income should have insurance coverage and minorities suffer the most really made me fall in love with u! Thank u for speaking up for all women!! Girl power!! 🥹👊🏼💪🏼
I was starting to get migraines around or during the first day or two of my period, so i went to my gynecologist to see what was going on. Sure enough, he brushed it off as nonrelated to my hormones. I did my own research and felt like supplements would be a good place to start. Thankfully, I got some of my energy back, and those migraines were GONE. The ast year, though, I started gaining weight that I couldn't explain because I eat healthy and exercise regularly 3 to 5 times a week. Back to the research and found intermittent fasting was a game changer, along with being in tune with my cycle and being more forgiving to myself during the nurture phase before menstruation. Knowing that educating yourself is a good way to live your best life and having mentors in your life that have been through things are good tools to be able to thrive. Thank you so much for sharing!❤
I’m 51 and I have had increasing migraines since my late 40s but I had no idea it was related to menstruation and menopause until I asked about medication on Reddit. I had strangers educate me last August and then I began to see the connections.
I tried three different supplements for the duration of the amount in the bottles. When I started using ProEstro by VH Nutrition, I saw results. I ordered another bottle, and by the time I had taken a few doses of it, all my migraines were gone and I had more energy during the day. My mood also improved. There are several supplement variations out there. This one worked for me. Hopefully, it will work for you, too.
@@Hello-Stoikoget an eye exam. Many times our eyes change with age and migraines can result. I know someone who went through a terrible time for years, taking pills, shots, canceling plans, and all for lack of an eye exam. She never needed glasses until then. Once the glasses were in place, the migraines stopped. She was infuriated at the fact that primary care never broached the subject of a simple eye exam.
My last period was December of 2017. I was only 47 years old!!!! Breast cancer runs on my Dad’s side of the family, so I cannot take any hormone replacements of any kind, but so far it hasn’t been too bad. I’ve had hypothyroidism for decades, so when that’s off, I’m tired and fatigued. That’s my norm 🤣 Hot flashes mostly when I’m sleeping, but not all the time. Weight gain, especially around the middle has been my nemesis, so I’ve had to increase my steps per day. (I have 5 children, and 12 Grandchildren) I also added strength training 4-5 days a week as well as Intermittent Fasting. It’s hard to grow old! My 2 sisters are pre-menopause and they are having it pretty tough. They should have menopause coverage! It affects so many women!
I’ve been on hrt bio identical hormones for 14 years and I go to a doctor who specializes in this field. Sadly it’s out of pocket , but it’s about quality of life. I’m 58 years old. Thanks for the video topic.
Thank you so much Tracy. I'm 42. I realized since the beginning of this year that I'm so much more tired in the afternoons and other changes. Your video was very helpful 🤗
I will be 49 in May and I just started menopause in the last few weeks. I’m sure it is because I’ve been in perimenopause the last two years and missed my period sporadically. Now I haven’t had it since January and I’m very moody and having bad hot flashes. These symptoms just started a few weeks ago. I talked to my dr who is giving me meds to help because I cannot have HRT due to having strokes in the past. HRT makes those on HRT at a higher risk. It is rare for those who have never had a stroke and have healthy lived styles, but they won’t let me. Which I understand and appreciate. ❤
I’m new subbie! You are a great inspiration. I’m 50 with five children (ages 17-27) and going through periomenopause. I eat relatively healthy compared to the standard American diet. I’m 5’3 & weigh 120-125lbs. If I was graded I would give myself a “B”; however, with these new symptoms, I know being more disciplined with my nutrition and movement, I will fair better when I get to full menopause. Thank you so much for your encouragement and knowledge.
I’m 45 and I actually can’t wait to have menopause. I was diagnosed with adenomyosis and I am tired of heavy bleeding every month. I can deal with anything, hot flushes, headaches, tiredness, etc but the heavy monthly bleeding is really taking a toll on me.
Look into laser ablation of lining of uterus. It stops periods without affecting hormones. Life-changing if you are having crazy heavy prolonged periods. You eventually go through menopause at some point in the future. I had it done, and it was the best thing ever.
Great video! I am post menopausal (thank goodness) and mine wasn't too bad (no real hot flashes to speak of) but the weight gain has not been fun (add the pandemic at the same time and it was such a JOY -- haha) I struggle to get the weight off now and always had an easy time getting weight off prior to that. The exhaustion is REAL and my skin getting so dry were my main symptoms too. I never tried HRT and wish that I had and may still look into it. Such a good conversation! Amen to menopausal coverage sister! Thank you for sharing this information.
Great video! I'm on bioHRT. My main peri-meno symptoms were no libido, insomnia, fatigue so bad I could barely groom myself, joint pain and stiffness, hot flashes and depression. Due to stage 4 endometriosis damaging my ovaries this started at 37 for me. I'm 41 now (with menopausal hormone levels).
I believe the fatigue we get in our 40’s is the drop in DHEA and the adrenals not being optimal (adrenal fatigue). But I’m not a doctor that’s just my theory based on what I’ve been through.
It's lack of testosterone, that gives us, fatigue, dizziness, lack of sex drive, painful joints and no muscles and insomnia . No one says, but women have more testosterone than estrogen and progesterone. Testosterone is the first to go away after we pass 35 years age. By the end of perimenopause there's almost no level of all hormones because our ovaries don't produce theme anymore. If the adrenals aren't working we'll due stress that's the end of our life's. Adrenals after menopause replace the ovarian for produce small quantities of hormones to keep us going until we died. So women take care of yourselfs we don't have the same jobs, family, health and financial freedom . There's no igual solution for everyone. This is just a fase in the life. But eating properly, stop drinking big amounts of alcohol, workout more to increase testosterone, reduce stress and surch for a good doctor to support in this part of life. Please surch for older women that lift weights building muscle, they look and feel better. Take time to relax. Good luck for all amazing Queens of this World we deserve better ❤👸👸🏻👸🏼👸🏽👸🏾👸🏿❤
Listening to this makes me feel “normal” and I’m 51. I’ve been tired for years and migraines have increased so much for the last few years. I seriously didn’t know I was going through perimenopause since my obgyn never mentioned anything about menopause. Plus with breast cancer at 43, I didn’t think I could take hrt but it’s something I will bring up next time I go to a doctor.
Loved your video most of all because you show and represent a positive image of "the changes". Of course you look great, but more importantly you communicate genuine happiness, energy and love for life and people. I´m so tired of seeing menopause associated with pictures that don´t by any means represent what most people in premenopause or menopause in their 40:s and 50:s look or feel like. I´m in perimenopause and not having any issues (apart from maybe the sleep issues, intense fatigue, lack of motivation too often......), I have a very healthy lifestyle (plantbased, whole foods and using supplements, yoga, walk, meditation etc. but have never been a great sleeper so that´s a work in progress). I remember asking my gp and gyn years ago about possibly being in peri, and they like saying no no, life is just really stressful in your 40s. While I didn´t believe them I only had "natural" (supplements, herbs) remedies I trusted, because all I had ever heard about HRT was scary. Thankfully a minority of specialists in my country have been very vocal about HRT during the lasts years so I understood it was something I wanted. My reason for taking it is mainly preventive and I hope I´ll never have any contraindication for taking it. While I find it essential, I think that all the other lifestyle measures are even more essential but that one ideally need all.
Hi Tracy, just found you yesterday and have been binging on your videos 😊 love the content but most importantly love your kind energy, authenticity and warm vibe. You are a ball of sunshine ☀️
YES! We are the same age and I am in menopause too and I feel everything you have said. I love your approach and attitude menopause sister! I'm currently working on my MS in holistic nutrition and want to focus on menopausal health. I just found you, thank you!
I hate it. I was not ready for this at all especially going through a divorce at the same time. When I first started skipping periods it seemed my skin all over got saggy seemingly overnight. This in spite of lifting weights 3 times per week and having a decent diet and maintaining at 128 lbs. I always looked a decade or more younger without botox or fillers but once this hit I felt I started to age rapidly and I started getting botox, radio frequency, and Sculptra just to try to slow down the rapid aging now that I have to go back into the dating market😢. My under eye hollows have gotten so bad that I think I need filler now even though I swore I would never do filler! I’m am still getting periods albeit sporadically and now I’m getting the fatigue and sadness too. I am doing testing with a naturopath so I can begin HRT asap! My estrogen still came back on the higher side but my other hormones are shot. Also my adrenals are burnt out from the stress of divorce. You look so gorgeous and healthy it’s hard to believe you are on the other side of it already! I used to look good too until recently (the last 6 months). I also had a baby in my 40’s and felt that kept me youthful. I hope I can start to feel and look better once I begin HRT. I am not ready to be old.
Ill be 53 in august perimenopausal but very close to menopause. I had hot flashes for a couple months now fully gone. I do have other symptoms tho like dry eye and sore joints but use castor oil on them and drink wheatgrass juice helps a lot!! Also take moringa powder.
Thanks so much for your videos, i suspect im in perimenopause (40yo) and for the last two years my hormones, mental health and physical health are all over the charts. Mainly the tiredness, migraines and moodswings make navigating my days really challenging. Thanks to your videos im starting to realize that maybe i should look at all these symptoms from a different angle to find solutions since regular healthcare is not relieving me from the issues. So massive thank you for pointing me in a different direction and in hopefully finding awnsers to my questions ❤
Thanks for the video . I haven't finished all of it but I must say the only reason why I haven't gotten checked is because of how expensive it is to go down that road and I don't have health insurance and I'm single paying all these high bills by myself . So it's just something I've been avoiding and trying to rough through and be strong and I tell you it's really difficult I won't even put online what all happens to me because it's embarrassing but thank goodness I can put on a good act at work and people would never know. I'm just so hard and down on myself anymore it's just terrible what it all does but I guess it is what it is
Hi Tracy! I just bumped into your channel a couple of weeks ago and loving your content. I also just turned 50 years old a couple of weeks ago- my only symptoms of peri/menopause that I’ve experienced thus far has been an irregular cycle in the last year. Maybe a bit more tiredness creeping into my afternoons, but otherwise still pretty energetic. No hot flashes, mood changes, etc. I’m conflicted with the whole HRT thing, not because of safety concerns- but more to do with the fact that knowing menopause is a normal part of a woman’s life span, why would peri and peri menopausal symptoms be considered “not normal” and why suppress the natural fluctuations and ultimate changes of our hormones. I hear you say that your gynecologist told you that “you are normal, nothing is wrong.” But isn’t that in fact the truth? Going through this transition along with all the symptoms IS normal. So why intervene against nature’s course? I am anticipating more symptoms coming soon and want to let my super intelligent body do its thing without intervention--but HRT is still in the back of my mind. Thank you for all you do in this space of health and wellness 🙏💕
It may be a normal part of life but for some it can really effect functioning, physical state and mental state, so much so that it can effect a person's personal life, relationships and even if we are functional at work, especially if dealing with physical pain, joint pain and terribly heavy irregular bleeding. It can effect joint health and bone strength. In the old days we didn't live as long so this was a sign of things coming to an end, winding down, after reproductive years are over. Now we live double those years or more, the age we used to live. We need to make sure we are functioning optimally, if need be get extra help so we can continue working. My energy levels are so bad and joint pains at that time of month now, nothing is really helping, nausea for over a week, twice a week . If I can afford to replace some of the hormones being lost that can alleviate this, I will. On top of that I know it can help guard against heart issues, osteoporosis, brittle bones, unwanted weight gain, change in fat distribution, possible urinary issues/incontinence and generally make you more functional, sleeping better. My mum didn't take anything and it definitely affected her, she has issues with brittle bones at 83 as well as other recurring urinary issues/infections . Not eveyone will experience it the same way but everyone will experience a decline in some way. I guess it's personal as to how bad it is and how it effects our life as to how we chose to treat it or not treat it. I would have been more prepared if I had known more about perimenopause earlier and what signs to look for before it started. I'm searching for someone to see about it now. I've already tried herbs, vitamins, healthy lifestyle, healthy food, didn't help enough, especially with keeping up with being active consistently with all the effects it has had on me.
@@delfabrkic9432 thank you for your insight. Definitely a personal journey. Definitely will consider HRT if need be , and grateful people are talking about menopause and for Tracy’s channel 🙏💕
I've been working 25 years in construction, and I've seen a crazy amount of moody, emotional and hormonal men (talking about a surplus of testosterone 😂)!Hold your heads up high ladies, life's challenging for all of us. Thanks so much for sharing your insights ❤
Thank you for making this video. It's been less than a year since my last period and I feel tired all the time and I'm depressed most of the time and feel anxiety. I didn't know all of these were symptoms of menopause. I will talk to my doctor about hormone replacement. God bless!
I am fifty and still in peri😰 doing really well with diet, supplements and weightlifting, but wanting to get panels ran to see if there’s anything I can add or subtract from my supplementation. It is definitely WEIRD though!!! Why does no one talk about it??? Is it like having a baby, where you literally forget a lot of the bad stuff?? I don’t get it… even my mom is blank on it lol…
I love this! As a almost 46 yrat old going through perimenopause it's so great that's it's actually being talked about and not being treated like it's a dirty little secret and to know that not feeling OK because of it is not OK and we shouldn't be made to feel like it's just a normal thing
I am turning 40 next month, even though i am not there yet. Not even premeno, but i like to be prepared as much as i can. I hope you do make a Video witz you doctor 🙏❤️
I think you can be pre-meno at 40 or even earlier, there is no set age... I just turned 40 and started having strange (and very disturbing) symptoms last year, even though my blood tests were fine. Next week I'm seeing an endocrinologist to get a more specialized opinion.
I am 51 and I have no idea if I am in perimenopause. I have been depressed for years and years so I am mostly always tired and often apathetic, my periods were always messy, my body looks pretty much the same, except I gained some weight but then again I eat a lot, I always had lots of headaches because of my job... in short, I was never mentally healthy, so it's hard to say. I live in Serbia and my mental health has been ruined by this country long time ago. So, I have no idea, probably I am but since we here barely have health service for urgent things I doubt doctors will do anything for me. Each woman for herself here, no one will help you. That's why I watch this kind of videos.
I started bioidentical hormones (estradiol patch and a progesterone pill) 2 weeks after hitting post menopquse. Soon i'm going to get testosterone in a cream form. Lowest dose offered. My symptoms about 3 months before I hit post menopause were achy joints and tiredness and that's about it.I really didn't have the hot flash problem.I had a couple of hot flashes in my early forties. Literally, 2 days into being on the patch and progesterone, the achy joint problem completely went away and I was feeling a ton of energy come back to my body. I will never stop using them!!
Your 3 pm fatigue is from low thyroid, may not low amount of thyroid hormones per se, but could be a resistance to thyroid due to the increase in cortisol we all face in mid life, even on HRT. And, you will continue to change, what works now wont work in your 60s, I know I've been on HRT 14 years already. Good luck, don't work out with HIIT its not good to stress your body in Menopause. walk or bike. some strength training. easy does it.
Thanks again for another amazing video about aging women!! I just stumbled across your channel a week or so ago and I absolutely love it!!! You are a beautiful woman inside and out ❤❤❤
The first 3 years of menopause were so debilitating due to interrupted sleep as a result of hot flushes etc, that I seriously thought it would kill me. I was exhausted and so physically uncomfortable that I didn't know myself anymore. I'm 9 years into it... hot flushes now only about 10 times a day. Wish I'd taken hormones. Thanks for the video.
I appreciate for sharing all this. You are such an inspiration. I am 47 and in perimenopause right now. I knew about the hot flashes and night sweating but nothing else. I feel more tired than usual, my memory has gotten worse, I am always moody, I have gained weight etc. Good to know this is all due to starting menopause. I do hope it does not last too long 🥵
I started perimenopause in my 30’s, went thru Menopause in my 40’s and Post now almost 55. I still have issues. Hot flashing like crazy and sleep issues. It is not fun. 2 years ago I had horrible panic attacks and thought I was dying.
I am new to your channel and I feel so grateful to have found and listened to you. I am going through exactly the same process and starting to understand what is happening to me. Thank you🙏🏻
I am new to your channel for about a week now! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and creating this amazing channel!!! You are such a beautiful woman inside and out. God bless ❤🦋😇
Thank you for this! I have been sooooo tired lately and cannot understand why. I am 48, my period being as punctual as it has never been (a sign of the Change ;))… and I was wondering about all my life decisions 😂
Thanks for another great video Tracy! I only just found your channel last week and your content has been a huge help to me! I’m 47 and feel like I’ve been in Peri forever now - the last 10 years at least, and I just want my periods to finally stop. With breaks of 4 - 5 months at a time then only to begin again, it’s driving me crazy. I’ve not ventured into the world of HRT yet as I suffer with chronic migraines but I wonder if it will help me at this stage? Keep up the amazing job of giving all of us ladies hope and hints and tips at this new stage of life! ❤x
My doctor wouldn’t give me hrt because I have migraines with aura. She is a menopause/hormonal specialist. She was worried about the increased risk of strokes. She did help me with sleep and hot flashes. I really wanted hrt because I wanted help with my weight gain, so I have decided to start with the protein and HITT workouts. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I am in perimenopause. Two things that are very noticeable for me are hot flashes and emotions. I am usually a caring and empathized person. However during perimenopause I am very emotional. My heart hurts when I hear a child or a college student gone missing. I would cry when the kid found dead. I take it hard as if the kid was my own.

If men lost testosterone like we lose estrogen…. testosterone replacement therapy would be 100% covered no questions asked. 🙄
And funnily enough I believe it is already😅
Yup.
Actually, they do. I know three men that have testosterone issues and none are given injections because they’re not “bad enough” to be given anything more than a cream.
@@kekelarue5974 True they lose it gradually over time. Nice steady slope down but never gone. Not like us, one day it’s just GONE.
They do. WOW
Period=I don't miss it, Hot Flashes=weird and not as uncomfortable as I assumed they would be and they fade, Mental Health=Better, I feel that hormonal craziness...Gone, feel more balanced, the blah feeling=I don't get worked up over drama, it's more like "hey, I don't bother with things that don't work for me" . I changed my diet to higher protein and no rules for anything else. If I don't feel amazing after eating it=bye bye it's off the menu. I don't take drugs, no replacement therapy.
Yeaa good advice ...about the flashes ...really weird but okee ..just bit of headache and dizzyness with it
I’ve never had any hormonal craziness or PMT, or any problems with my mood. So I’m dreading menopause.. I’ve heard it turns lovely women into angry old hags overnight… I’m just sooo scared
won't replace your missing hormones
@@itsruckaswife7036 I did not had that eighter first 1,5 after menstruation stops ..so dont worry ..it still can come 😅
I'm watching this video and I've had to stop it because I'm shocked. I feel like crap every day of my life (it's been going on for over a year) and I have spent all my money and time in tests and treatments. This could be the key!! I'm 47 and I may be experiencing p-menopause! Thanks for this new approach!!!
Same!)) But I've figured out what was happening to me after 5 months by researching. I'm 42 and I had no energy (was feeling superb before). I was prescribed one hormone and I'm feeling muchuch better now! I started loving life again lol.
One little known symptom that I had (and went to a holistic doctor ) was all my joints ached! I got tested for EVERYTHING but in the end it was yet another symptom of menopause.
This is something I’ve just been tested for with no joy as to what it might be, so my next step is taking to my doctor about menopause being the cause. 🤞🏼
I didn’t have any symptoms either but my testosterone level was undetectable 😢 I’m hoping the testosterone cream will help me with the joint pain.
What are you taking for your joint pain?
I took 3mg of Naltrexone. In higher amounts it is for drug abuse (not exactly sure) but it worked really well. I got it through a special pharmacy and I had to pay for it and not through insurance. @@jinchoi1261
Get your Vit D levels tested. Mine were non existent. Common in peri and causes joint ache when lacking this vitamin ❤
That is me, especially around that time of the month but feet hurt all the time and I'm not overweight.
I’m new to your channel and so glad I found you. This is a positive message that more women need to talk about. I’m 49 peri and working my way through this. I don’t want to be invisible and fade away 😊 I want to be the light that shines !
YES!!!! ✨✨✨✨
Peri-menopause was terrible, but everything has gotten better since I am fully in menopause for over a year now. During peri-men, I had hormone swings and felt crazy; but now that I'm in menopause, I only have problems with hot flashes and insomnia. At first the hot flashes were bad with sweat soaking my clothes. Since giving up both coffee and alcohol they are not a problem. They happen, but are mild and I don't sweat much, I just remove a layer of clothes. I think I now need less sleep- and if I meditate, do yoga and breathing exercises instead of watching youtube, the insomnia doesn't seem to hurt me. Menopause has asked me to approach life differently, and since I can do that it hasn't been too bad for me.
I don't have health insurance and am not on any hormones, it's been a long time since I've seen a doctor for anything. I've lost my appetite, and after years of going up and down in weight, it's much easier to stay thin at fifty than in my twenties, thirties and early forties.
Thank you for sharing. I have just entered perimenopause and am so confused and feel moody and edgy all the time. I do not recognize myself some days. Good to know it gets better when menopause arrives. I drink coffee every day and was wondering how it effects my symptoms. I suspected it could exaggerate some things. So now I am going to try to stop drinking it. It is definitely a time to change many lifestyle habits.
Jojo. Hi I'm 58 started Meno @ 47. Now that your in menopause eat protein so you don't loose muscle mass.😊
I had no idea I was in perimenopause or menopause since I had a hysterectomy in 2011. When I finally figured it out 12 years later, I can't believe how little people talk about it. Thank you for sharing this info!
I read a medical journal piece that showed women who've had a hysterectomy, even with ovaries intact, may enter menopause 4 years earlier than women with both still intact.
All the best.
Thank you!! 😊I hit menopause at the age of 47. 10 years later the symptoms began to decrease. I'm 59 now. Due to the loss of estrogen during menopause, I learned that consuming more protein became a game-changer for me. I don't overdo my workouts these days and I feel I'm looking, and feeling better. 😁👍I'm still a work-in-progress.
I was just tired in menopause… post-menopause caused a whole host of issues. I got GSM (genitourinary syndrome of menopause), dry skin (when I’ve been super oily my whole life), could only sleep for three hours a night, anxiety and panic attacks for no reason, ugh, the list goes on. I broke down and went on HRT despite my mother having breast cancer. We are very fortunate to have options for helping us navigate successfully through this life stage. Thanks for opening the discussion!
Look plantbased, lowfat whole grain, when you eat you meat, eat only meat with no more fat like 100g =3g fat.
Eat much Brokkoli, coliflower, PacChoy, cabage, kale ect, Sojabeans 0,5 cooked beans, I take sojabeans in mixer and give some tasty herbal and eat with potatoes or vegetables.
Fennelseed crashed and make in capsel or eat a little bit and take together.
Milk products not very good because the have hormones inside , better your look for plamtbased Joghurt, Sojamilk al tasty different you must look which you like. The Fiver is very important, look whole grain
All this I know from nutritionsFacts , 11 different Foodstuff which is very helpful to get better.
HTR could be dangerous in you case, take care of yourself, do checkups
I have changed my diet, if you follow the principle of DailyDozen (you can include very low-fat animal products with a maximum of 3g fat per 100g in the plant-based diet); you can also eat 50-90g of cooked organic soya beans every 2 days, I always mix them into sauce, season them and put them over potatoes or vegetables. Also 1 teaspoon (2g) of freshly ground fennel seeds a day and 6g of freshly ground fenugreek, you can fill the spices into capsules yourself or simply eat them in mashed potatoes or another snack and swallow them.
There's so many variations. My friend had her female organs taken out at a young age, due to breast cancer & genetics, but she still looks & seems very young with no menopause symptoms?!...Is that still post-menopause?.. Thanks!-
@@toodleloo2253It depends on which organs: ovaries and uterus or only uterus-it is a big difference.
I never had menopause symptoms. I am now 55 yo. I eat healthy and exercise and I couldn’t get rid of my belly pouch and love handles. At age 54 yo last year, I had tummy tuck and liposuction on my love handles and back in Miami. After that my body is washboard abs, snatched and looking like teenage body. I was glad I did it. My opinion, it’s better to do tummy tuck around middle 50s past menopause due to belly hormones if you have it.
I need a tummy tuck and I am 49 so I do plan on getting on.
My csection is so indented but insurance does not cover. Years trying to improve it but only surgery will take out the scar tissue. How is everyone affording it? Any tips?
Isn’t that a menopause symptom that you can’t get rid of belly fat?
@@gggggggggggggg41yes, it is. I think what she was trying to say is that she didn't have many of the typical symptoms, like hot flashes, night sweats, mood roller coaster...
@@GrowingThroughItAll that’s what I was wondering, if she already had that even when she was younger or was it menopause. Honestly I’m always looking to talk to the people who weren’t really affected that badly. I like to know if they did something different or just lucky with genetics.
As a "perennial crying woman in her 51", full of weight, of trouble, of hot fleshes, I want to Say thanks. Because it's really hard and your words are a great support and a Hope for the future...
Hot flashes - try to lower carbs - stabilize blood sugar . To avoid major hot flashes . When estrogen drops we are more prone to insulin resistance
@@Tamar-sz8ox thanks a lot! I already reduced carbs and I Hope tò feeling Better when my transition in new era Will be defined 😄
Something I've really noticed since being in TBT is how much the American women in the group rely on doctors. I don't see doctors. I haven't for many years. Instead I see a naturopath. They are able to determine the root cause of disease, and prescribe natural supplements to rectify the issue. I'm in menopause. I had hot flushes for 6 months, and have been through the tiredness and crankiness, but mostly feel great since starting supplements. I would never use HRT and have not been on birth control since I was 30. Everyone is different, but I think it's important people consider the natural route with their health.
What natural supplements are you taking?
I just love you! You’re so relatable and genuine. I am 42 and obsessively preparing for menopause because I want to do whatever it takes to go through it easily without losing myself. No symptoms yet (fingers crossed), but videos like these are vital for us women right on the cusp of it so we can know exactly what to do and what to expect! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing that you got married at 40 and got kids after that. This gives me hope of life actually working out for me. I’m turning 36, no kids and not sure if I should divorce 😢
Same for me/ got married at 38 avenue ne got pregnant at 39 and gave birth at 40 for the first time.
Don’t worry about having a child. You are young.
Just make sure you have a baby with the person that you really love and want to share it with and that is going to be there everyday. Having a child is tough on the couple which is normal!🎉 😅 wishing you all the best and happiness. Take care.
I got married at 42 and had a child 1 month before my 43rd bday. My pregnancy was great. I only gained 22 lbs and worked out up to the birth. My child was healthy, bright and sweet. Don’t stress about being an older mom. Enjoy your life now. 😊
I married at 40 to a dude I met right out of HS. We chose not to have kids but still had plenty of time to decide. Really the best of both worlds, at least in this aspect.
When I was about your age, I thought that me and my husband had plenty of time, but 8 years on, still not pregnat. I wish I new in my 30ys what I know now: fertily declines at an incredibly rapid rate after 33. After 44 they won't even want to use your own eggs for IVF because the quality of eggs is not good enough anymore, they would insist on egg donation! And frankly, doing IVF does not guaranty pregnancy. Getting pregnat after 40 now I personnaly would call it a miracle. So, please, try to find time and talk to your genycologist or fertility spesialist about your fertility and possibly freezing your eggs (especially if you are not sure about your marriage), because 38 years is a limit for doing it, after you turn 38, they will not do it.
Good luck, and find out as much as possible information now, so you will have no regrets later.
I got married at 38 and had a child at 40...there is nothing wrong with being a late bloomer. I
I am going through perimenopause, and it is sad to see menopause is not as much supported as it should be.. my general physician was no help. I will keep on searching until I find a physician that will be supportive of HRT and guide me through this time. Sad to see that this is the norm for many . Pretty frustrating. I will do my own research and am hopeful there is a fix out there that is a bit more up to date on the right approach on these changing/ challenging years. I refuse to be robbed of up to 10 years of being miserable without any help! I know I am not the only one 🙏❤️
Your not the only one I had a loved one pass away and thought it was my grief so was trying to nurture myself also a little denial as I look younger than 51. But now I’m kicking myself I didn’t get on something beneficial for myself asap all the best peace ❤ from Australia
Tracy, I love watching your videos! 😍 Tiredness was actually the only symptom I had. The game-changer for me was increasing my protein intake and taking a Vitamin B complex. Thank God I never had hot flashes; of course the one time I experienced it was when I was getting ready for the opera. 😂 I'm so glad that it was just a one-time experience in my life … 😆
I’m on HRT…which has been life changing❣️The #1 thing I found crazy, that NO one talks about, is that there is a definite window where you can start HRT….miss the window and you can NEVER start HRT.😮 20 years ago a friends mom told me that she would never go to a male gynecologist….I have found this to be useful advice.😉 I also read Suzanne Somers’ first book…before anyone was in the media talking about the symptoms that can start in 30’s/40’s and make women think the are crazy or depressed…Hello Peri-Menopausal life change…..ITS NOT YOU…ITS HORMONES ‼️❤️✨
Yes the window is a long one - 10 years after your last period.
Thank you for sharing because I’m 49 and feeling sluggish, which it’s not like me. I started watching you today and I can relate to your story and I’m thankful for coming across your video. I am an older first time mom as well and my daughter is 5 years old.
For the past 3 months I’ve been feeling off and haven’t gotten my menstrual for 3 months and I agree with you on feeling weird not having it and feeling like something is up. It has affected me in many ways, yes especially the hot flashes..lol. So I want to thank you for speaking about menopause.
You are so wonderful. I wish I knew all of this before my body went crazy and I had no idea what was happening. No hot flashes ever!!! Just night sweets. I thought it was my sheets or anxiety. It was a warning, but I didn’t know it . Then all hormone levels dropped … huge depression and I tried to commit suicide that just came out of the blue. Blood work proved it all after a great doctor found it out. Sooo much better, but I am perimenopausal and I get tired even in HRT and thyroid . I get checked every 3 months . My body is different. My mental health is sooo much better, but I have to still watch it and it comes first. Women need to know . Thank you for being a voice . I am letting my girls know for sure !!!!❤
My kid is still a teen but I’m making her read a new book I just bought about menopause. I’ve not been myself for years but I thought it was just being the way I am. My own mom only had hot flashes which I don’t have yet. She didn’t have other symptoms like migraines and exhaustion. I hope health care improves drastically when she is older.
Adrenal fatigue is a major cause of all the symptoms you describe.
Stinging nettle tea made thick, helps.
Wow, thank you for sharing your journey. Glad to hear your mental health is better and you are no longer suicidal. What an ordeal for you to have experienced! Stay safe and healthy 😊
It’s really refreshing to have these conversations. My friends at work and I were just talking about this last week - that no one really talks about menopause and there is no preparation! It’s like “boom,” here you are. I too was told I was fine after bloodwork. I thought no way! So I did my research too and found great a HRT specialist. My doc even cautioned me against it, believe it or not. I’m so happy I found you. Your honesty and advice is much appreciated. 🦋🦋🌞🌞
Thank you❤️
I'm so glad I found your channel. I just turned 45 yesterday, and I still get my periods monthly. However, I am noticing a difference in myself like my moods, very tired, feeling blah, etc, and it's driving me nuts. You are absolutely 💯 % on the fact that we are, our own advocates, and I definitely need to start having conversations with my Dr and hopefully be able to get a hormonal Dr. when need be. I also totally agree with you about the insurance part. This isn't anything new. Women should absolutely be covered with insurance so we can live our lives w/o being miserable through the entire menopause phase. I've always been a very energetic, positive person, so thank you for having this conversation 😊 xoxo
My primary care Dr is well versed in BioTE bioidentical hormones. That's what all women should insist on. It's a part of our natural lives.
Please keep talking about menopause! I grew up in the 80s and was 33 yrs old when I had medical menopause. No one I knew was going through it. I'm incredibly grateful I had a wonderful MD who was there for me. Also went, and continue to be, on HRT. It saved my life...mentally and physically. We need to also be educating the men in our lives about it. What to look for as signs we need help, and who to call if we're unable to do it ourselves. ❤
OMG, I had extreme fatigue last year, and even now I feel so tired all the time, also huge anxiety and even depression, I thought it was because of a long series of unfortunate life events... But maybe it's also perimenopause (I'm 40).
I got Dr. Shawn Tassone to check my hormone and my progesterone was low. I thought I needed to check into an institution. I am grateful for women talking.
I love the content you bring each week. I’ve had a very rough time through my menopause experience for over 6 years (now 55) and still I struggle with symptoms. Women need to talk about it and docs and scientists need to study it and be informed. Thank you for using your platform to advocate for us all. I’ll be part of this community and willing to show up any way I can.
Thank you!!
Thank for this video💕it’s really true whenever I ask older ladies that went already through menopause I get almost no clear answer! Maybe because everyone has a different experience? I know my mom, aunty and nana had menopause at around 60 year old which is pretty late I would think. I’m 48 now and still have my cycle but i definitely feel a constant low anxiety feeling that I didn’t had before. I’m glad there is a community here
Definitely we are here❤️
My mom actually started at the age of 38 I'm 52 and started about 3 years ago and haven't done a dang thing about it because of how expensive it is but yeah this is no joke for sure.
I’m 52. If I have another 8 years of this I may opt for a fast moving truck!
I'm going to be 60 and just starting the journey. My mom was late so I expected it. Not sure how long it will last but I'm discussing the BioTE hormones with doc at next visit. I'm not suffering terribly but why suffer at all?
60? Wow you started late!!! My mom started at 34@@chiaralistica
I just turned 50 in July and thanks to you I now know that I am normal and the symptoms that I am feeling are justified as menopause and I’m not loosing my mind. Your videos are so informative and sincere thanks again.
Oh thank you and happy birthday 💕
Omg I went years suffering from various symptoms all mostly related to the menopause, notably the low mood and complete utter fatigue which left me barely able to function. I recently relented and went on HRT and my life is finally improving, I have energy again and am happy! I’m 52 but I look like a 30 something year old, I think I’m finally feeling confident enough to keep up with my younger man 😌🥰
Did you change your HRT over time?
I've been in menopause for about six years and have been on HRT the whole time. While HRT, estrogen & progesterone helps some symptoms, its not perfect. It did help the hot flashes but I still can't seem to loose weight like I used to especially around the stomach, and still tired. I eat clean and walk everyday and that helps.
Look into wild yam. It helps your body produc estrogen.
Dr Beg has a video on why menopausal women have difficulty losing belly fat.
High fibre and high good quality protein with intermittent fasting will melt the weight away.
Also lift weights, and lift heavy as possible in correct form.
Thank you so much for this video. I am 49 (september) also. 5 months ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I just finished my last chemo. Anyways, I learned that chemo has forced me into menopause. It has been a challenge on top of the chemo. first off, Id like to say all women should make sure they go for their mammograms and not put them off. I have no fanily history or had any symptoms... What has helped me the most in regards to menopause is my diet, supliments and moving around/exercise. Like you, i have had to change things up. I had been gaining weight from th steroids and hormones! Awful! Anyways, I appreciate your video and will subscribe. You look fantastic, btw.
you’re so beautiful and you look late 30s.
I don’t have anyone to talk about this issue now that I am late 30s myself so thank you
Im so happy you’re here ❤️
I am 45 and I am really looking forward to hearing more about this. I lost an ovary due to a miscarriage in 2016. Then miraculously I got pregnant again and in 2018, my daughter was born and I had my tubes "tied." I wasn't too bad with my weight after giving birth, but I started to add the weight due to trying to manage all the things. 2020 came and there went the anxiety big time. I did your workouts again due to the special you had and then needed to stop due to expenses. I kept trying to workout, but time was not on my side, I was stressed as I was also homeschooling 2 of my kids and we were in the process of finding a house and moving. 2022 we moved and I received a job "promotion" - same job just different title and more work. My sleep has fallen to the wayside (I get about 4 hrs ave a night except on weekends when I can get about 8 - sometimes). I try to catch naps (3 hrs or so) when I can. I have no time to focus on better eating, but I think about it all the time. I hate cooking and I have to follow a recipe which takes time. I will say though that my meals are not completely bad, just not 100% the best (ex. meatloaf cooked on a broiler pan so the grease runs off with TONS of veggies in it and homemade applesauce on the side). I have been so depressed for the last few years. My cycle is all out of whack. I will usually have 1 week of flow and then a few days off and then about 4 more days of spotting. I assumed it was due to the tubes tied and everything. I do try to outsource. My husband cooks many times a week as well as helps with dishes. My kids have their chores which allows me to get other tasks done, but there is still so much - homeschooling 3 kids, working part time, and still managing the house, meal planning, and decluttering. Thank you for "listening" and sharing your experience.
Get on HRT.
Have a pap smear and make sure they use ThinPrep. That can be an issue, but best to see Dr. If you still don't feel right, keep going until you're able to address the issue.
You're in perimenopause. Get on HRT.
The fact that u said woman with low income should have insurance coverage and minorities suffer the most really made me fall in love with u! Thank u for speaking up for all women!! Girl power!! 🥹👊🏼💪🏼
🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much! I truly stand for this. We should ALL get amazing care! 🙌
I was starting to get migraines around or during the first day or two of my period, so i went to my gynecologist to see what was going on. Sure enough, he brushed it off as nonrelated to my hormones. I did my own research and felt like supplements would be a good place to start. Thankfully, I got some of my energy back, and those migraines were GONE. The ast year, though, I started gaining weight that I couldn't explain because I eat healthy and exercise regularly 3 to 5 times a week. Back to the research and found intermittent fasting was a game changer, along with being in tune with my cycle and being more forgiving to myself during the nurture phase before menstruation. Knowing that educating yourself is a good way to live your best life and having mentors in your life that have been through things are good tools to be able to thrive. Thank you so much for sharing!❤
I’m 51 and I have had increasing migraines since my late 40s but I had no idea it was related to menstruation and menopause until I asked about medication on Reddit. I had strangers educate me last August and then I began to see the connections.
What supplements helped with this?
I tried three different supplements for the duration of the amount in the bottles. When I started using ProEstro by VH Nutrition, I saw results. I ordered another bottle, and by the time I had taken a few doses of it, all my migraines were gone and I had more energy during the day. My mood also improved. There are several supplement variations out there. This one worked for me. Hopefully, it will work for you, too.
@@Hello-Stoikoget an eye exam. Many times our eyes change with age and migraines can result. I know someone who went through a terrible time for years, taking pills, shots, canceling plans, and all for lack of an eye exam. She never needed glasses until then. Once the glasses were in place, the migraines stopped. She was infuriated at the fact that primary care never broached the subject of a simple eye exam.
My last period was December of 2017. I was only 47 years old!!!! Breast cancer runs on my Dad’s side of the family, so I cannot take any hormone replacements of any kind, but so far it hasn’t been too bad. I’ve had hypothyroidism for decades, so when that’s off, I’m tired and fatigued. That’s my norm 🤣 Hot flashes mostly when I’m sleeping, but not all the time. Weight gain, especially around the middle has been my nemesis, so I’ve had to increase my steps per day. (I have 5 children, and 12 Grandchildren) I also added strength training 4-5 days a week as well as Intermittent Fasting. It’s hard to grow old! My 2 sisters are pre-menopause and they are having it pretty tough. They should have menopause coverage! It affects so many women!
I’ve been on hrt bio identical hormones for 14 years and I go to a doctor who specializes in this field. Sadly it’s out of pocket , but it’s about quality of life. I’m 58 years old. Thanks for the video topic.
My pleasure and hopefully this will change where there is some coverage for all ❤️
I'm just starting my bioidentical journey, I'll be 60 soon and I'm excited at the possibility of feeling younger again.
@@TracyCampoliit should be mandatory, and bioidentical, not some synthetic nonsense as is the usual.
Such a good video. These conversations need to happen more often so thank you for sharing!
More to come!
Thank you! Could you tell us more about the supplements you were taking?
Thank you so much Tracy. I'm 42. I realized since the beginning of this year that I'm so much more tired in the afternoons and other changes. Your video was very helpful 🤗
I will be 49 in May and I just started menopause in the last few weeks. I’m sure it is because I’ve been in perimenopause the last two years and missed my period sporadically. Now I haven’t had it since January and I’m very moody and having bad hot flashes. These symptoms just started a few weeks ago. I talked to my dr who is giving me meds to help because I cannot have HRT due to having strokes in the past. HRT makes those on HRT at a higher risk. It is rare for those who have never had a stroke and have healthy lived styles, but they won’t let me. Which I understand and appreciate. ❤
I’m new subbie! You are a great inspiration. I’m 50 with five children (ages 17-27) and going through periomenopause. I eat relatively healthy compared to the standard American diet. I’m 5’3 & weigh 120-125lbs. If I was graded I would give myself a “B”; however, with these new symptoms, I know being more disciplined with my nutrition and movement, I will fair better when I get to full menopause. Thank you so much for your encouragement and knowledge.
You sound like me! I'm right behind you. I have 6 kids 6-23, I'm 42. Wish me luck!
I’m 45 and I actually can’t wait to have menopause. I was diagnosed with adenomyosis and I am tired of heavy bleeding every month. I can deal with anything, hot flushes, headaches, tiredness, etc but the heavy monthly bleeding is really taking a toll on me.
Look into laser ablation of lining of uterus. It stops periods without affecting hormones. Life-changing if you are having crazy heavy prolonged periods. You eventually go through menopause at some point in the future. I had it done, and it was the best thing ever.
Hi I'm going thru menopause I'm 48 I'm glad I found u to hear all your info
Great video! I am post menopausal (thank goodness) and mine wasn't too bad (no real hot flashes to speak of) but the weight gain has not been fun (add the pandemic at the same time and it was such a JOY -- haha) I struggle to get the weight off now and always had an easy time getting weight off prior to that. The exhaustion is REAL and my skin getting so dry were my main symptoms too. I never tried HRT and wish that I had and may still look into it. Such a good conversation! Amen to menopausal coverage sister! Thank you for sharing this information.
Stick with me! I’ve got you covered❤️🙌
Great video! I'm on bioHRT. My main peri-meno symptoms were no libido, insomnia, fatigue so bad I could barely groom myself, joint pain and stiffness, hot flashes and depression. Due to stage 4 endometriosis damaging my ovaries this started at 37 for me. I'm 41 now (with menopausal hormone levels).
I truly appreciate your videos. I'll be 40 this July so this is valuable information. Im so happy I found your channel!
I believe the fatigue we get in our 40’s is the drop in DHEA and the adrenals not being optimal (adrenal fatigue). But I’m not a doctor that’s just my theory based on what I’ve been through.
It's lack of testosterone, that gives us, fatigue, dizziness, lack of sex drive, painful joints and no muscles and insomnia . No one says, but women have more testosterone than estrogen and progesterone. Testosterone is the first to go away after we pass 35 years age. By the end of perimenopause there's almost no level of all hormones because our ovaries don't produce theme anymore. If the adrenals aren't working we'll due stress that's the end of our life's. Adrenals after menopause replace the ovarian for produce small quantities of hormones to keep us going until we died. So women take care of yourselfs we don't have the same jobs, family, health and financial freedom . There's no igual solution for everyone. This is just a fase in the life. But eating properly, stop drinking big amounts of alcohol, workout more to increase testosterone, reduce stress and surch for a good doctor to support in this part of life. Please surch for older women that lift weights building muscle, they look and feel better. Take time to relax. Good luck for all amazing Queens of this World we deserve better ❤👸👸🏻👸🏼👸🏽👸🏾👸🏿❤
Listening to this makes me feel “normal” and I’m 51. I’ve been tired for years and migraines have increased so much for the last few years. I seriously didn’t know I was going through perimenopause since my obgyn never mentioned anything about menopause. Plus with breast cancer at 43, I didn’t think I could take hrt but it’s something I will bring up next time I go to a doctor.
I'm really loving your channel, Tracy. You're doing amazing work here, thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for those precious informations! 😘. Have a nice week-end!!
You look so good❤ AND thank you for talking about this subject!
Thank you. What a great video. You gave me hope because I’ve been feeling so blah and moody.
Im happy to help❤️
Loved your video most of all because you show and represent a positive image of "the changes". Of course you look great, but more importantly you communicate genuine happiness, energy and love for life and people. I´m so tired of seeing menopause associated with pictures that don´t by any means represent what most people in premenopause or menopause in their 40:s and 50:s look or feel like. I´m in perimenopause and not having any issues (apart from maybe the sleep issues, intense fatigue, lack of motivation too often......), I have a very healthy lifestyle (plantbased, whole foods and using supplements, yoga, walk, meditation etc. but have never been a great sleeper so that´s a work in progress). I remember asking my gp and gyn years ago about possibly being in peri, and they like saying no no, life is just really stressful in your 40s. While I didn´t believe them I only had "natural" (supplements, herbs) remedies I trusted, because all I had ever heard about HRT was scary. Thankfully a minority of specialists in my country have been very vocal about HRT during the lasts years so I understood it was something I wanted. My reason for taking it is mainly preventive and I hope I´ll never have any contraindication for taking it. While I find it essential, I think that all the other lifestyle measures are even more essential but that one ideally need all.
Hi Tracy, just found you yesterday and have been binging on your videos 😊 love the content but most importantly love your kind energy, authenticity and warm vibe. You are a ball of sunshine ☀️
Im so happy you’re here!
Yes she is. I'm just happy looking at her.
YES! We are the same age and I am in menopause too and I feel everything you have said. I love your approach and attitude menopause sister! I'm currently working on my MS in holistic nutrition and want to focus on menopausal health. I just found you, thank you!
Yeahhhh! Me too! ❤️😍
I hate it. I was not ready for this at all especially going through a divorce at the same time. When I first started skipping periods it seemed my skin all over got saggy seemingly overnight. This in spite of lifting weights 3 times per week and having a decent diet and maintaining at 128 lbs. I always looked a decade or more younger without botox or fillers but once this hit I felt I started to age rapidly and I started getting botox, radio frequency, and Sculptra just to try to slow down the rapid aging now that I have to go back into the dating market😢. My under eye hollows have gotten so bad that I think I need filler now even though I swore I would never do filler! I’m am still getting periods albeit sporadically and now I’m getting the fatigue and sadness too. I am doing testing with a naturopath so I can begin HRT asap! My estrogen still came back on the higher side but my other hormones are shot. Also my adrenals are burnt out from the stress of divorce. You look so gorgeous and healthy it’s hard to believe you are on the other side of it already! I used to look good too until recently (the last 6 months). I also had a baby in my 40’s and felt that kept me youthful. I hope I can start to feel and look better once I begin HRT. I am not ready to be old.
If you have high estrogen dominance over the other hormones try a supplement called DIM detox. It will help. Is great forv the peri menopause period.
@@alliefordrealty5081 thanks! I’ve never heard of this!
Thanks Tracy❤ You help me to rock my peri menopausal 47 years old 🎉
Ill be 53 in august perimenopausal but very close to menopause. I had hot flashes for a couple months now fully gone. I do have other symptoms tho like dry eye and sore joints but use castor oil on them and drink wheatgrass juice helps a lot!! Also take moringa powder.
Thanks so much for your videos, i suspect im in perimenopause (40yo) and for the last two years my hormones, mental health and physical health are all over the charts. Mainly the tiredness, migraines and moodswings make navigating my days really challenging. Thanks to your videos im starting to realize that maybe i should look at all these symptoms from a different angle to find solutions since regular healthcare is not relieving me from the issues. So massive thank you for pointing me in a different direction and in hopefully finding awnsers to my questions ❤
Thanks for the video . I haven't finished all of it but I must say the only reason why I haven't gotten checked is because of how expensive it is to go down that road and I don't have health insurance and I'm single paying all these high bills by myself . So it's just something I've been avoiding and trying to rough through and be strong and I tell you it's really difficult I won't even put online what all happens to me because it's embarrassing but thank goodness I can put on a good act at work and people would never know. I'm just so hard and down on myself anymore it's just terrible what it all does but I guess it is what it is
Same 😩
New here and Love this - Thank You x. The mental health aspect of Menopause is the one (apart from weight gain) that's Really affecting me rn.
Hi Tracy! I just bumped into your channel a couple of weeks ago and loving your content. I also just turned 50 years old a couple of weeks ago- my only symptoms of peri/menopause that I’ve experienced thus far has been an irregular cycle in the last year. Maybe a bit more tiredness creeping into my afternoons, but otherwise still pretty energetic. No hot flashes, mood changes, etc. I’m conflicted with the whole HRT thing, not because of safety concerns- but more to do with the fact that knowing menopause is a normal part of a woman’s life span, why would peri and peri menopausal symptoms be considered “not normal” and why suppress the natural fluctuations and ultimate changes of our hormones. I hear you say that your gynecologist told you that “you are normal, nothing is wrong.” But isn’t that in fact the truth? Going through this transition along with all the symptoms IS normal. So why intervene against nature’s course? I am anticipating more symptoms coming soon and want to let my super intelligent body do its thing without intervention--but HRT is still in the back of my mind.
Thank you for all you do in this space of health and wellness 🙏💕
It may be a normal part of life but for some it can really effect functioning, physical state and mental state, so much so that it can effect a person's personal life, relationships and even if we are functional at work, especially if dealing with physical pain, joint pain and terribly heavy irregular bleeding. It can effect joint health and bone strength. In the old days we didn't live as long so this was a sign of things coming to an end, winding down, after reproductive years are over. Now we live double those years or more, the age we used to live. We need to make sure we are functioning optimally, if need be get extra help so we can continue working. My energy levels are so bad and joint pains at that time of month now, nothing is really helping, nausea for over a week, twice a week . If I can afford to replace some of the hormones being lost that can alleviate this, I will. On top of that I know it can help guard against heart issues, osteoporosis, brittle bones, unwanted weight gain, change in fat distribution, possible urinary issues/incontinence and generally make you more functional, sleeping better. My mum didn't take anything and it definitely affected her, she has issues with brittle bones at 83 as well as other recurring urinary issues/infections . Not eveyone will experience it the same way but everyone will experience a decline in some way. I guess it's personal as to how bad it is and how it effects our life as to how we chose to treat it or not treat it. I would have been more prepared if I had known more about perimenopause earlier and what signs to look for before it started. I'm searching for someone to see about it now. I've already tried herbs, vitamins, healthy lifestyle, healthy food, didn't help enough, especially with keeping up with being active consistently with all the effects it has had on me.
@@delfabrkic9432 thank you for your insight. Definitely a personal journey. Definitely will consider HRT if need be , and grateful people are talking about menopause and for Tracy’s channel 🙏💕
I've been working 25 years in construction, and I've seen a crazy amount of moody, emotional and hormonal men (talking about a surplus of testosterone 😂)!Hold your heads up high ladies, life's challenging for all of us. Thanks so much for sharing your insights ❤
Thank you for making this video. It's been less than a year since my last period and I feel tired all the time and I'm depressed most of the time and feel anxiety. I didn't know all of these were symptoms of menopause. I will talk to my doctor about hormone replacement. God bless!
I am fifty and still in peri😰 doing really well with diet, supplements and weightlifting, but wanting to get panels ran to see if there’s anything I can add or subtract from my supplementation. It is definitely WEIRD though!!! Why does no one talk about it??? Is it like having a baby, where you literally forget a lot of the bad stuff?? I don’t get it… even my mom is blank on it lol…
I love this! As a almost 46 yrat old going through perimenopause it's so great that's it's actually being talked about and not being treated like it's a dirty little secret and to know that not feeling OK because of it is not OK and we shouldn't be made to feel like it's just a normal thing
It’s just life and natural ❤️❤️
I am turning 40 next month, even though i am not there yet. Not even premeno, but i like to be prepared as much as i can.
I hope you do make a Video witz you doctor 🙏❤️
I think you can be pre-meno at 40 or even earlier, there is no set age... I just turned 40 and started having strange (and very disturbing) symptoms last year, even though my blood tests were fine. Next week I'm seeing an endocrinologist to get a more specialized opinion.
I definitely will!
I am 51 and I have no idea if I am in perimenopause. I have been depressed for years and years so I am mostly always tired and often apathetic, my periods were always messy, my body looks pretty much the same, except I gained some weight but then again I eat a lot, I always had lots of headaches because of my job... in short, I was never mentally healthy, so it's hard to say. I live in Serbia and my mental health has been ruined by this country long time ago. So, I have no idea, probably I am but since we here barely have health service for urgent things I doubt doctors will do anything for me. Each woman for herself here, no one will help you. That's why I watch this kind of videos.
I started bioidentical hormones (estradiol patch and a progesterone pill) 2 weeks after hitting post menopquse. Soon i'm going to get testosterone in a cream form. Lowest dose offered.
My symptoms about 3 months before I hit post menopause were achy joints and tiredness and that's about it.I really didn't have the hot flash problem.I had a couple of hot flashes in my early forties. Literally, 2 days into being on the patch and progesterone, the achy joint problem completely went away and I was feeling a ton of energy come back to my body. I will never stop using them!!
Isn’t that THE BEST feeling!?!?!
Your 3 pm fatigue is from low thyroid, may not low amount of thyroid hormones per se, but could be a resistance to thyroid due to the increase in cortisol we all face in mid life, even on HRT. And, you will continue to change, what works now wont work in your 60s, I know I've been on HRT 14 years already. Good luck, don't work out with HIIT its not good to stress your body in Menopause. walk or bike. some strength training. easy does it.
This is super helpful! Thank you for this video Tracy!❤
This is so helpful for women! The symptoms can start at any age past 30. This is going to help out many people!
Tracy thank you so much for the menopause video!!! You are such a great resource for me!
Love you, Marcie
Thanks again for another amazing video about aging women!! I just stumbled across your channel a week or so ago and I absolutely love it!!! You are a beautiful woman inside and out ❤❤❤
Thank you and welcome! So much more to come❤️
The first 3 years of menopause were so debilitating due to interrupted sleep as a result of hot flushes etc, that I seriously thought it would kill me. I was exhausted and so physically uncomfortable that I didn't know myself anymore. I'm 9 years into it... hot flushes now only about 10 times a day. Wish I'd taken hormones. Thanks for the video.
Going through it for years, I am 52 this past March… HRT has helped
Tremendously!
I appreciate for sharing all this. You are such an inspiration. I am 47 and in perimenopause right now. I knew about the hot flashes and night sweating but nothing else. I feel more tired than usual, my memory has gotten worse, I am always moody, I have gained weight etc. Good to know this is all due to starting menopause. I do hope it does not last too long 🥵
More to come!
Amazing thank you so much, you are right we were not told anything about this.... thanks for being so genuine
Hello, I am new to your channel. I stumbled upon your channel today. Your topic caught my attention. I am 50 and still regular.
I started perimenopause in my 30’s, went thru Menopause in my 40’s and Post now almost 55. I still have issues. Hot flashing like crazy and sleep issues. It is not fun. 2 years ago I had horrible panic attacks and thought I was dying.
I’d love to know your HRT regimen and how it has evolved? I’m staring early due to POI and it’s been a struggle to navigate.
I am new to your channel and I feel so grateful to have found and listened to you. I am going through exactly the same process and starting to understand what is happening to me. Thank you🙏🏻
You are so welcome❤️
This was so informative!!
I relate to this so much! Thank you for putting this out there.
This has helped me so much- thank you Tracy!!!
You are so welcome!
I am new to your channel for about a week now! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and creating this amazing channel!!! You are such a beautiful woman inside and out. God bless ❤🦋😇
Thank you! ❤️
Hi Tracy, could you please share which vitamins and supplements you are/were taking and were helpful in alleviating your symptoms? Thanks!
I truly appreciated this video ,it's just what I needed to hear I'm 50 going on 51 and yes this is exactly how I'm feeling so thank s a lot
Thank you for this! I have been sooooo tired lately and cannot understand why. I am 48, my period being as punctual as it has never been (a sign of the Change ;))… and I was wondering about all my life decisions 😂
Thank you , HRT synthetic are you on this or supplements diet lifestyle so confused which avenue to take 🤔🙂↔️
Im on HRT and some supplements. I have a video coming out soon on exactly what I take ❤️
I needed this, Thank you for sharing
Can you link all the make up products you’re wearing in the video? It looks so natural and beautiful!
Thanks for another great video Tracy! I only just found your channel last week and your content has been a huge help to me! I’m 47 and feel like I’ve been in Peri forever now - the last 10 years at least, and I just want my periods to finally stop. With breaks of 4 - 5 months at a time then only to begin again, it’s driving me crazy. I’ve not ventured into the world of HRT yet as I suffer with chronic migraines but I wonder if it will help me at this stage? Keep up the amazing job of giving all of us ladies hope and hints and tips at this new stage of life! ❤x
My doctor wouldn’t give me hrt because I have migraines with aura. She is a menopause/hormonal specialist. She was worried about the increased risk of strokes. She did help me with sleep and hot flashes. I really wanted hrt because I wanted help with my weight gain, so I have decided to start with the protein and HITT workouts. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I am always so grateful and happy when my period returns after a couple months missing! I don’t want them gone forever!
so amazing ! thank you. you'e inspiring !!
This was very helpful, I feel better hearing all this
Recently found your channel and absolutely loving it, you're so lovely, knowledgeable and relatable ❤😍
Thank you so much!!
I am in perimenopause. Two things that are very noticeable for me are hot flashes and emotions. I am usually a caring and empathized person. However during perimenopause I am very emotional. My heart hurts when I hear a child or a college student gone missing. I would cry when the kid found dead. I take it hard as if the kid was my own.
Can you please share your vitamins and hrt regimen. Very helpful video. Thank you
Is there anything that you are taking support with the symptoms?
Thank you, it's really helpfull ❤ You talk about my feelings, I had no idea that all these sympthoms are normal
