“Menopausalicious” love that term!
Thank you Dr. Taylor for taking the fear out of taking HRT!! I've been suffering unnecessarily for years and NO MORE!! I made notes and went to my Gyno and asked specifically for what I wanted and feel SO MUCH BETTER!!! I'm no longer afraid and I could cry! You are a GODSEND!
I love knowing that this education is helping you. I especially love the confidence I hear in your words.
I love my hrt patches.I shall be covered in hrt patches , until I take my last breath.Ladies...take charge of ur own health.My hrt patches have been a life changer.Could not live without it.
Dr. Taylor, I am so glad that I watched your tutorials (in order!) about managing menopause. I am 44 and in peri menopause. My OB/GYN prescribed birth control pills to me to alleviate my symptoms, but I was afraid of taking those pills. My mother, who is 75 now, always told me to avoid hormone pills because she said that she had bad side effects during her peri menopause period (namely breast tenderness, fibroids) while on HRT. She stopped her HRT after she experienced those symptoms. However, she is now dealing with osteoporosis and she already had 3 strokes in the last 5 years. I can’t tell you enough that I am so thankful to you to lay out the FACTS to us in your tutorials. Your information and education guided me to today to decide on how I want to manage my own menopause. Definitely not following my mother’s path! Long term vs. Short term, Facts vs. Fears - they are now all in perspectives to me. Thank you!
Charlene, this makes me so happy! I especially love the confidence yo exude. That's the value of a real education. Keep watching, my dear. And, should you ever want my personal help in tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Love it Barbie! Words to live by..
It all comes together!
Thank you! 100% agree they like to make Estrogen a villain while testosterone therapy is highly encouraged for men! Ridiculous! I have been on HRT since 2017 and I turn 60 this year. I feel great !!! HRT was a game changer for me and gave me my vibrant life back. Don’t fear estrogen please....educate yourself and be proactive in caring for your optimal health at every age via healthy choices. ❤ heart disease runs in my family as well as Alzheimer’s. Best to be proactive rather than reactive in my opinion.
I love the confidence in your words. You are managing YOUR menopause YOUR way.
Dr. Taylor you must have a TV show😘😘I have learn so much about menopause from you, you are brilliant. Love you
Another good information video! Things I have never thought about until I started watching your channel. 💕
Thank the lord my genned up sister put me on to you! Im only 2 half years since my last period so im well within the estrogen window to do something about this. appt at doctors booked week on monday, my notes all written out ready. This information is priceless. I will do my bit and let other women know ....to spread the word so to speak. Many thanks for putting this info out there for us.
Thank you for this video! I’ve watched hours and hours of your videos, but not all my friends have that amount of time to gain understanding.
Well, I'm giving a two-day seminar that covers the entire education (even more than you've gotten thus far in this video series) on September 22 & 23 in Houston, Texas. It's the entire eduction in just two days. (I say, "Give me two days of your time and I will give you a lifetime.)
Go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to register. It's the last seminar I'll be giving, so do it.
There's a discount for groups of 4. Just make it a girl's weekend and plan for your future. I promise I won't disappoint you. We'll work through the entire worksheet, tailoring everything to each woman. You'll leave with a toolkit of information you'll use every day for the rest of your life.
Dr. Barbie, thank you for so carefully dissecting this topic. You make it so easy to understand. You're the best!
I love doing this for you. Thank you for making such good use of it.
Thank you for taking time to respond.
My mother was obese. I am not even close, so that’s a relief.
I appreciate the information and I am going to look for a menopause specialist. Thank you again!
You are so very welcome. Knowledge is power that no one can ever take away form you. Use it. It doesn't require a fight. It only requires logic.
I have been taking HRT for a six weeks now--estradiol gel--and a progesterone pill. I went to see my cardiologist and I got the most glowing report with a great blood pressure and "really really good" EKG! IDK if it's just the estrogen, or the fact that I am sleeping better, have more energy for exercise and have gotten my migraines under better control. O wait, that IS the estrogen. I have a little ways to go yet and maybe need to tweak the HRT, but I am feeling really good about this. I cannot thank you enough Dr. Taylor.
I started 11 days ago. But, the progesterone pill makes me very, very tired. Did this happen to you?
No. I have taken other meds that had that effect and my experience was that once my body adjusted I felt normal again. In the first two weeks of progesterone I swear I had occasional cramps and was PMS-ing. But that passed very quickly. Now the biggest downside is the size of the pill.
@Alice Diamond. I am hoping it passes, or else, I will have to try something else. I can't even think properly. :(
X2Y2 my doctor told me to take progesterone at nigh to avoid this problem. I started my HRT a month ago and couldn’t be happier. I finally can sleep, I’m less forgetful and no more hot flashes. I use to have slight heart palpitation and now they’re going away. Good luck ladies. Keep your hearts ticking for the next few decades.
@Viki N I was taking it at night, but felt sedated throughout the day, just horrible. It did not work for me. I am weaning off and will see about birth control for me. Best.
I adore you and your message!! Thank you so much for ALL the valuable lessons💞💞💞
You are so welcome! Keep watching. You'll be so glad you're learning this vital information.
Absolutely 100% spot on!love you and your balanced /straightforward talking tutorial s,Thank the universe for women like you!Love from the UK
It helps erase some of the confusion, doesn't it! I thank the universe for you. I love knowing that you're learning from my videos.
I cannot say it enough....these “lessons” are so helpful, informative, and, for me, so reassuring....basically putting periods where I had so many question marks on very important topics. Thank you and bless you Dr. Taylor :)
You make me so happy, Toni! I love knowing that my efforts are helping you.
Sometimes, I think, "Good God, Barbie! You sure picked a steep hill to climb in trying to get women to get their heads out of the sand. Not only do you have to get them to take advantage of this education; first you have to make them aware of the fact that they need it in the first place. It's really TWO huge hills!"
Comments like this reassure ME that what I'm doing is worth it. One by one, this will make a difference for women.
Wonderful information. I am on HRT and loving it, it has given me back my “normal “ . Your videos are so full of easy to understand info. Thank you Barbie your the best !!!!!
This makes me so happy. You can see how logical it is. All the fear and misconceptions make no sense. It's shocking that most women believe the nonsense rather than the facts.
You definitely make me think about HRT... so much good information every video. You have a wonderful gift of teaching!
I love teaching. I hope you can see the joy it gives me. Knowing that I can still make a difference in people's lives (even though I am not able to do surgery and run a practice anymore) gives me great joy.
Thank you so much for being such a stellar student.
Well that was the single best video I’ve watched on menopause approaching 60 and have been struggling thinking I’ll get through this naturally - clearly no such thing when you’re completely devoid of the hormones you need !! G’day from Sydney Australia !!
Gloria,
You should schedule a consultation with me so that I an help you find your best options. I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works:
1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone. (But very shortly, I’ll have my own video platform embedded in my website.)
2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. If you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a 5-day deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date.
3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages.
4) I will send you the document by email 72 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth.
5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want in order to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed.
6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use.
7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options.
The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request.
So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively).
I hope to meet you soon!
Menopause Taylor
Thank you for all your information, I was one of those people who was scared,but that was out of ignorance. Thank you soooo much for educating me. I have my estrogen patch and my progesterone pills
I never want you to make decisions based on fear or misinformation. I want you to make educated decisions. I am so pleased that you're learning.
Bravo Dr. Taylor, as a doctor and a woman! You are so enlightening. Whenever I think women have come so far, it is a painful reminder that as far as menopause info out there, we have not. You are right, if men dealt - with no testosterone - it would have been addressed and remedied a long time ago. Most women that I know are still scared of estrogen and have never heard of the "Estrogen Window." I feel like you are a beacon in the dark. I know it is your mission to tell us the facts. I would be my hope that every woman could hear what you have to say. You are such a gift and a blessing.
Thank you, Charlotte. I hope you can tell that I have no "agenda" for how you should manage your menopause. You'll get facts from me in every category of options. I love knowing that this education is helping you.
Thank you, Dr Taylor. Your explanations are crystal clear for everyone to understand. You wonder why women are scared of oestrogen replacement therapy, given that this hormone has helped them live with all the positive aspects you named, crisp memory, fast metabolism, lubricated vagina. I think women are afraid, and i am one of these, because the hormone prescribed by your doctor is not naturally produced by your body. And the quantity prescribed isnt necessarily the quantity your body actually needs or needed. There might be a lot of fumbling, with side effects, before you come up with the right dosage. So yes, what is scary is introducing from the outside a man made hormone in random quantities. It is like tampering with mother nature. The list of side effects on the box is longer than the benefits. It is like they really want to scare you out of your mind. Again, thank you for helping us with all the info. Cheers from Switzerland.
Spot on. But I guess the scientific research is extremely good and bioidentical hormones a match for our cells. You just take what you think you need and discuss your progress with your Doctor and from there dosage should be fine.
The body doesn’t know the difference where estradiol was made. THE MOLECULE IS IDENTICAL! And another misconception is that so called “bioidentical” hormones are magically different. They are not. It’s the same exact molecule. They are called “bioidentical” because they are a mixture of the estrogens that we produce naturally which is 80%estriol and 20%estradiol. Estriol is a very weak estrogen that does not prevent osteoporosis, heart attack, and Alzheimer’s. It doesn’t help you maintain your feminine attributes either because it’s weak. The mixture is why they call it bioidentical. THE MOLECULES ARE IDENTICAL. I’m shouting because I am frustrated to see all the misinformation and the fear that women have that prevent them from making good decisions for their health because the current disease care system isn’t there to help us. It is there to make money for itself.
@@elsagrace3893 I guess you are a doctor, feeling so entitled to SHOUT, like you're saying. The body does tell the difference, because of the excipients that you have in drugs and that MAY not suit everybody, given that we are all different and will therefore react differently. So it is not just black and white. My question was addressed to the Dr, who obviously, doesn't want to reply. After all, why would she? I am not a paying patient. I just wanted to address a common concern that is shared by many middle-aged women I know. Nobody ever wants to say what taking hormones we do not produce naturally anymore does to your body when you take them, nor for a month or 6 month, or a year, but for the rest of your life, which is give or take some 30 years after menopause on average. I am not sure that studies have been done covering such amounts of years.
I'm so glad I found your tutorials Dr Taylor. I'm a happy menopausal woman, living the second half of my life healthy and strong. Im happy with my weight, I exercise daily and I feel beautiful and special. I felt bad for a brief period of time but my Estrodial patch took care of that quickly. Thank you for encouraging me to manage my menopause my way. I hope to live until 105.
I just love your attitude! It's precisely what I'm trying to instill in all women. Thank you so much for posting this comment. I'll probably meet you some day, because I'm planning to live until I'm 120.
hi Dr. Barbie...I can tell you the EXACT moment that I felt Estrogen HRT was bad for me...or so I thought.....it was when I had to sign that paper in the gyno’s office...the waiver and release form which listed all the side effects of Estrogen/HRT . The fear of everything listed was like playing Russian roulette with my life! Misconceptions! You’re right...I watched tutorial #94....you stumped me on three. I’m making an appointment (wish you were here, I’d go to you) for my annual. I’ll be super educated now and walk in that office with KNOWLEDGE, CONFIDENCE and NO FEAR! Fear keeps us away from what’s good for us. Thanks so much Dr. Barbie!!
You are so right. Most of what women do is motivated by fear or misconceptions. It's such a shame.
I think you can tell that knowledge replaces fear when you have an adequate, unbiased education.
I alway say that everything has both benefits AND risks. Nothing is perfect. Your job is to weigh those benefits and risks as they pertain TO YOU. And the only way to do that is to have more than just fear. Unfortunately, fear is a very difficult thing to erase, no matter how unfounded it is.
Thank goodness for you videos I’m learning to manage my menopause I love you ❤️
Oh my god, I love you! Every gal should know this menopause guru. I especially love it when you launch into your Mickey Mouse voice to emphasize a point. My daughter, who watches your videos with me, is going through adolescence while I'm going through menopause. The whole mess is hell for my poor husband. Dr Taylor, thank you from the bottom of my healthy heart. I've been suffering without estrogen for the past two years, but tomorrow, I'll be picking up my estrogen prescription and taking those pills without fear thanks to your good counsel. We've outlived narure's plan for us, of course some tinkering is required!
You make me so happy. This is the education you deserve.
Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. And you'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that you now do know.
Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know.
I respond to all comments here on RUclips daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!)
And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time.
another great video!!
Dr Barbie. Another Excellent video👏
Hello, my dear. I'm so happy to know you're still being such a great student!
I'm glad I am learning from your videos. I never knew some of this. But I am glad I started estrogen after my hysterectomy. Well they started me 3 months after my surgery. But now 6 years later, and years of ups and downs, they dont want to give us more than 2mg of estrogen. How do we get passed that! My doctor does not know anything about how to treat menopause. He only knows how to do surgery. I have written to you recently with some questions, but I need to council with you for sure. Its Saturday here in California, so I will try to get ahold of you next week!
I truly appreciate you Dr. Taylor, you make us feel normal! You definitely are a beacon of hope for womens health. I wish you were close by me, I would come to you as my doctor!
Many blessings to you !!!💕
I look forward to helping you, Dolores. I'll be here to hold your hand from afar.
Thank you so much dear for what you do for us ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you doctor Taylor. I just learned I probably have premature ovarian failure at age 39 a couple days ago and have been pretty upset ever since and trying to educate myself about it and learn what to expect from now on. Before this, I knew pretty much nothing about this. I’m so thankful I found you by way of a commenter on another yt video. I believe your videos will give me the facts and confidence I need to make good decisions concerning this. Thank you 🙏
You would benefit greatly fro a one-on-one consultation with me. Please consider scheduling one, I'll spend more time explaining all the ramifications to you than you can possibly imagine. And your very life will depend on how well you manage your premature menopause. Don't delay on this.
If you want a consultation, go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule one. I do them on Skype, FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, as well as in-person.
You can include all the things you want to cover when you fill out the form, and then send me any labs or tests you've had. That way, I can incorporate everything into the session. I'll create a personalized document addressing all your concerns, and send it to you at least one day before our session. That way, you 'll have time to read it in advance. It's usually 6 - 12 pages long.
Then, I'll have all sorts of props and models to show you during the consultation, and we'll make great headway. You'll understand everything and have all the options tailored specifically to YOU.
Menopause Taylor thank you for the timely response. Tomorrow I will do another lab test and ask for printed results of my last one. I don’t currently have a obgyn, just been seeing my a primary care doctor. I will check out your website and get a better idea of what the consultation will be. Does the consultation cost? Maybe I will find out once I go to the link. Again, thank you!! ♥️
You are always welcome, and I'm always here for you.
Hello Barbie Taylor... you're heaven sent!!!! Thank you so much for all the info...I have just found you ❤❤❤❤❤❤ & the more I see & hear you.... the more I am understanding whats happening to me! (( joining the dots is getting easier)) 😉I have loads of catching up to do

I love how you explain so thoroughly and understandably! I plan to schedule a full consultation with you very soon. At the age of 48 1/2 I was diagnosed Post-Meno (May '19) and have been on HRT (Sottopelle for Estrogen and Testosterone, oral Progesterone) since June '19 but I am reconsidering everything because of some of the side effects and the COST! I really don't have the time to watch all your vids from the beginning before I want to consider my HRT therapy or not. What vids are key to watch before a consultation with you?
Thank you for another good video. The Lord bless you, Dr. Barbie
Thank you so much for these videos. I'm learning so much!!!
You are so very welcome, my dear. As long as you watch them all in order, you will understand everything.
And don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU. I do them all online.
I was completely unaware of this misconception since I'm at very low risk for breast cancer but I do take it seriously like any cancer can happen to anyone. My dog had bone cancer and I'm a stickler for pet nutrition and now understand why some people choose not to spay/neuter. However we shocked the veterinarians by keeping her comfortable for a year and she would run a play outside. Thank you for teaching the importance of estrogen. I will not allow myself to live without it thanks to you and anyone in my family will now be allowed to function with their dominant hormone. This should be interesting when I rescue my next male cat. He will have to be very well disciplined.and I don't want to see over population and I always supervise.them outside. Thankfully the animals that have blessed our home over the last 15yrs have been very well behaved.and caring for a spayed senior as I transition into menopause has allowed me the opportunity to really learn the importance of hormones. I don't eat without considering thyroid support and I feel great as long as I'm not cold.
Please do sterilise your cat if he roams around. He WILL leave babies all over. I'm a volunteer at an animal shelter and we are, like all the shelters I know, desperate, overwhelmed and depressed to see the amount of kittens that are left to get sick, be tortured and die. We just can't cope anymore. PLEASE people, spay/neuter your animals, the situation is dire. Our vet says there's less risk for them to have cancer when they are operated on. They don't lose the will to reproduce, in fact I see all our sterilised cats wanting to mate, so the hormones are there. The same as if a woman/ man is operated on, they don't lose their sexual desire, and that means the hormones are there, is just that they cannot conceive. I beg you, don't contribute to the overpopulation of street cats, is sheer cruelty and causes a lot of pain and suffering. The things I've seen nobody can take away from my mind, and all because people don't spay/neuter their pets, and they go out, or gat lost or abandoned. If you think sterilising your cat is no good, think of the consequences, please!! I beg you.
Thank-you so much for your videos. I'm sitting here just a crying because I'm finally understanding the reality of hormone replacement. I've written you before regarding my hysterectomy. I had a hysterectomy last May 2017 at the age of 50. I knew I was peri-menopausal. I had night sweats, strange body-aches, etc.. I was placed on progesterone because it was low, my estrogen was WNL and told to take Vit D. Everything was manageable not to bad. I choose to take a bio-identical progestrone PO. I started a 150mg SR but that dose made so drowsy and had a headache everyday. I then tried 125mg, same thing plus constipation. So I quit using it. Well for the last couple of months, I have been feeling horrible. My joints hurt so bad, I know the words or thought I want to communicate but it comes out sounding like a 5yr old, my hair is falling out, I feel like a dried up prune etc.... I had my GYN do blood work and he tells me I'm I have I'm in menopause. My progesterone is
Karen,
All the options are still available to you. You're a NURSE! You understand trade-offs. Why in the world would you stay miserable and do nothing instead of getting this full education so that you will know exactly how to do whatever you want, and also how the consequences of each option? That's what my menopause education is all about.
This notion that taking something is some form of weakness is just goofy, especially when there are life-threatening consequences of doing so.
If you can, come to my seminar. If you can't get it on DVD. And you also need my book. These videos are great, but you need the whole picture NOW. It wi; take years to get the full education with one video a week.
I hate the thought of you suffering needlessly.
I viewed hot flashes simply as a warning light to do some ago appropriate research and I'm so thankful to have found Barbie's channel I'm now know to focus on prevention and life long management I had no idea of any of this a month ago thannk you
You see! Education is so powerful! I am so proud of you.
Thank you so much , I am learning so much from your tutorials!
This makes me so very happy.
I am learning SO much from you! Thank you xoxo
You are so very welcome, my dear. That's what a REAL education is all about.
You are a God send. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
It's my pleasure, my dear.
Love your videos soooo informative and helpful. Thank you. 😊
You are so very welcome, my dear.
Hello Dr Barbie,
Today-armed with my “Meno-education” provided by your tutorials, I visited a gyn to request bioidentical hrt. She didn’t know the term. She wanted to give me pills. I requested the patch to avoid the liver. She gave me the”lowest dose possible for the shortest time possible” speech. I got Vivelle Dot at .0375. She said give that a try and if the hot flashes don’t go away, we can bump it up. So... I’ll wait a week and then call and request .05 whether the hot flashes are gone or not. It is CRAZY that patients have to do this, but I am sooooo grateful for your tutorials because I was clueless before and would have trusted whatever a dr told me. THANK YOU again!
Laura,
You are so welcome! I always tell women to have a consultation with me BEFORE approaching any professional. I will help you avoid all sorts of pitfalls. So, even though you're watching these videos, don't hesitate to schedule one. I can tell by what you wrote that you will definitely need my personal guidance sooner rather than later.
Well, yes that just sums it up! Thanks Barbie.... We just need to share the message and get it out there.... With a female dominated ageing population, I can see menopause education in women’s health clinics as part of our future. You are a pioneer. (You might find it interesting to know - my daughter “interviewed” me the other day... “What do I think about HRT?” - Part of her pharmacy post-grad studies on the “Estrogen Window Of Opportunity”)👍
This is so good. I applaud your daughter. I sure hope she learns the whole story and not just part of it.
Pharmacists tell me they know absolutely nothing about HRT. In fact, I am creating education all resources specifically FOR pharmacists (as well as dietitians, nutritionists, fitness professionals, and naturopaths) precisely because they get no education on it whatsoever.
Shared with all who need this info.
Excellent video! Thank you.
You are so very welcome!
What a class Barbie! Can’t thank you enough!
It's my absolute pleasure!
All I can say is "THANK YOU" I'm so glad I came across your channel.

@@MenopauseTaylor I was a little naughty (as you'll see and watched some random videos). I'm now in study mode and have watched the first few episodes in order. I could watch your channel all day!!!! It makes me so angry that I'm 45 and suffering and have no idea what's going on with my own body. I will make sure my daughters have all this information well before they go into this stage of their lives. Thanks again :)
@@cotavic My dream is for all women to get this education in their 20s. It's what all women deserve. It's such a shame that most women know absolutely noting even after menopause hits them over the head like a ton of bricks.
I am the only person on earth giving women an actual education on menopause. That's an even bigger shame.
@@MenopauseTaylor it really is a shame!!! I have already told so many friends about you and your channel. Thanks again for all they time you have put into educating us.
@@cotavic You are so welcome, my dear. I absolutely love making these videos for you. This is my passion.
Great video!
I'm glad yo liked it. I love your name!
YOU ARE THE BEST !!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
You make me smile. I think YOU are the best.
So my comment is from now 2023!! I’ve watched all of your videos over the years!! This topic makes me want to reflect….thank yiu
Just think about how much you've learned here at Menopause University!
Thank you for your common sense approach and your perspective!
You are so welcome!
@@MenopauseTaylor I have just started on HRT and your videos have helped me understand the importance of my decision.
@@trudywendt1020 You make me so happy! I love the confidence in your words.
Hello Menopause Barbie, thank you so much for your highly educational videos, i enjoy watching them, so beneficial for every woman.
I am 58, went postmenopausal at 51, just had Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy due to large cyst, my uterus was not taken out. Pathological test came back borderline tumor. My onco-gyn suggests further surgery to remove my uterus -to be on the safe side -but no other additional therapy, my tumor marker results (ca125 and he4protein) were negativ before my initial laporoscopic surgery. I recovered very fast, started my regular excersise rutine since the begining my first perimenopausal symptoms which started at 46. Unfortunatelly i am suffering with hot flashes and night sweats even now but not as intense as before and especially in the summer season. I did not take HRT ever for my meno symtoms but after wathing yor videos i am considering of taking estogen. Would you please advice!
Continue watching your excellent videos from Hungary, thank you so much again😀
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. I need to know a whole lot more information about you and tailor all the facts specifically to YOU. I can't do that in this comment box.
I seriously urge you to schedule a consultation with me, because you definitely have options. I'd love to help you assess them
I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works:
1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone.
2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I would need all these things at least 1 week before your consultation with me.
3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points put the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages.
4) I will send you the document by email 48 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth.
5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed.
6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use.
7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and balance their options.
The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got form the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request.
So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively).
I hope to meet you soon!
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you so much for your quick reply, i shall consider the consultation at a later date, for now i keep watching your excellent and very knowledgable (i hope my spelling is correct :)) videos!
Be sure to start at video 1 and watch them in order. That's the only ay you[r going to understand absolutely everything. I respond to all comments here on RUclips daily, so I'm here to help. (But, I'll know if you're not watching the videos in order. I'm like your mom: I have eyes in the back of my head.)
Hi Barbie: That was great, you're doing a good job. Dominique just called me and I told her I was watching you. Hope all is well over there! Regards
Thank you so much, my dear Audrey. Dominique is the reason I'm here, you know. Of course, you're the reason she's here!
@@MenopauseTaylor Very cute!
I'm not sure if you will see this or not, I have just started watching your videos. They have been very helpful in understanding menopause, which can be confusing. I'm 54 my first treatment of menopause was the pellet which made me extremely high in testosterone. I pretty much had all the symptoms like cystic acne, hair loss, behavior changes such as aggression and agitation. It was a nightmare and when I expressed my concerns and explained my symptoms I was told it was me, it was my fault because I had PTSD. It was not the fact they gave me a pellet full of testosterone. My next doctor put me on DHEA, progesterone and no estrogen. I recently asked for it because I have almost all of the symptoms of low estrogen. I was put on bi-est compounded cream. Which I have just learned from you that it's no good. I have an appointment tomorrow and boy is it going to be interesting! Thank you for all you do, it's very much appreciated. I wish the medical field would recognize the importance of an estrogen deficiency as it does any other deficiency and would treat it accordingly. It really is an injustice to women!
Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. You'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that now you do know.
Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know.
I respond to all comments here on RUclips daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!)
And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time. I do them all online.
Your question is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via online video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
That is exactly how my mom, grandma, and younger sister think. My mom believed as though hormones were the enemy. When my mom began going through menopause she was so angry that her doctor suggested hrt, she said "All those hormones do is delay it from happening." Well now she is following down the same road my grandma is, she is battling with cholesterol and also high blood pressure. My sister is completely against going to any doctors, shes currently trying to get pregnant but can't when I tell her she should see a doctor she gets angry.
When I breastfed my children, my mom belittled me but when I told her that breastfeeding lowers a woman's chance of getting breast cancer she said "Why didn't anyone tell me that back then?!" what I wanted to ask her was "Would you have listened?" haha!
Its just sad, Our parents always tell us "you can't escape death, it happens to everyone." We always tell them we are not trying to escape death but we are trying to make wise choices with our health.
thank you for all you do by giving us all this wonderful information. I'm pretty sure I will be scheduling a visit with you though. haha
You are so very welcome, my dear. As you get this education, you will see the "truths" of it all around you. Some will be reassuring. Others will be sad.
You are describing me perfectly. Ive used my progesterone cream way to much and only small amounts of my estriol cream. Heck a couple weeks ago, I stopped my estriol completely and I feel awful. Today is day 3 of being back on estrogen cream. Before finding you through Dominique, I've been focused on estrogen dominance and fearful of estrogen for all the reasons you state. Thinking progesterone cream was my feel good hormone and just days ago learned I'm wrong. I'm seeking to watch all your videos and since yesterday I'm following you on Facebook. I'm going to watch this video over right now and pay close attention, not texting. Thank you, Barbie ❤ I'll be 67 in August. Eat very healthy, exercise, have zero illnesses that require meds. Thanks again
Uh, maybe you aren't watching these videos in order.
Please, do yourself a favor and watch them in order to avoid confusing yourself.
If you want me to tailor everything specifically to you, don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.

@MenopauseTaylor yes ma'am, I'm watching in order now. If there is a cost for consultation, then I won't be able to do that. I'm retired, my husband is disabled and our income is low. Everything is so high and we have rescued fur babies that come first always. I'll learn all I can from you on the videos and will watch in order and pay close attention. I'm grateful 🙏 for you and so blessed I found you. I love watching you and listening to you. You're a beautiful woman and person. God's Blessings to you 🙏 dear one
@@juliadavid3637 Stay on the lookout for discounts and giveaways.
I believe it was that study. They scared the hell out of us! I am sharing your videos with everyone, everyone. Trying to undo what the release of that study did.... please keep up the amazing LIFE-SAVING work you are doing ♥️
Don’t focus just on the temporary discomfort such as hot flash. Make decisions and weigh options based on facts not on fear. Weigh risks and benefits, there is no absolutes.
I was especially eager to watch this one! My hubby had found an article about the Progesterone in combination with Estrogen causes breast cancer not Estrogen. Though I have bene on Estrogen for a short time I love it and I hate the Progesterone! I had seen all of these woman with videos on youtube saying how Progesterone makes them feel great! I hate it just hate it! My hubby and I watch you together and you are answering all of his questions! Women that focus on hot flashes annoy me greatly! I used to run a ladies gym and they always wanted the air con on even if it was winter!
! Looking forward to talking to you but more so just listening and learning.It seems the medical community is programming women to freak out over hot flashes. It annoys the mess out of me! We are all so fortunate to have you as a teacher
Thank you for appreciating me so. I love the way you see how distorted the majority of the information out there is.
@@MenopauseTaylor Well you are a great teacher for one the other reasons is I am big on truth. I used to run a rape support group and the denial the entire society has about rape sickens me and I am not one to care about feel god stuff if it is not true! Anyone who listens to you has to want the truth and the sad part is not everybody does!
True. Unfortunately, many people prefer ignorance.
So are we NOT suppose to take progesterone with estrogen??? I can’t believe we cannot get the answer!
Amen! Everything you said makes perfect sense. Lucky are the gals that can still do something to help the second stage of their lives. But, how about us , who's windows have closed are we out of options??? Don't forget about us!
Don't worry, Rosemarie. I won't forget about you. I'll teach you about options in every category for managing your menopause: Diet, Exercise, Lifestyle, Vitamins, Minerals, Botanicals, Herbs, Acupuncture, Hypnosis, Hormonal Medication, and Non-Hormonal Medications.
I will be covering all of these. Obviously, it will take time with a weekly video. If you want the information pronto, go to my website: MenopauseTaylor.ME. There, you'll see that you can register for my two-day seminar, or get the seminar on DVD, or get my book. All of these resources give you the entire education all at once, and you can find options to manage everything.
I dont even know how to Thank you. Life saver ❤
You already have. And I love every minute of giving you the menopause education you deserve.
Thank you very much .
You are so very welcome!
Brilliant video. So glad this is out in the world, helped me see it differently. Question for you: I’m 43, have various symptoms - insomnia/disturbed sleep, racing heart, sensitive digestion, can’t drink alcohol, interesting memory, periods shortened and changing frequency, had hot flashes not so much now, do I start taking estrogen now or wait until menopause? I’ve not watched enough of your videos yet, you say to start in the window 5-10yrs after menopause… much Love 💗
Sophie,

Thanks for being objective.
You are so welcome. I will always tell you the whole story and the whole truth.
Clear , intelligent, to the point. Thank you!Are you going to speak of progesteron also?
Oh, I am so sorry for this tardy reply. The RUclips comments on my end are supposed to line up all the new ones so that I don’t have to search for them one-video-at-a-time. And most of the time, it works. But occasionally (as in this case), a comment doesn’t appear in the line-up. I apologize profusely for the delay. Every so often, I scan back through old videos to see if there are any I haven’t answered. And, I found this one!
I hope you've seen video 96. It's precisely what you requested.
Thanks again 👍😘 love you 👍👍👍
Love your teachings... I am viewing in order... have to talked about the breast cancer study linking hrt... that's is where I moved away from estrogen and my friends also... now I am searching for a way to back pedal... but I'm 60... I really think my ovaries are still working... xoxx
I sooooo hope you schedule a consultation with me. I guarantee that you do not have all the facts. But you will if you meet with me.
Thankyou Dr Taylor .....all I know is it was endometrial.....I will talk to my doctor she is a hormone specialist, GP .....I just don’t like asking to many questions in case she thinks I am contradicting her knowledge ......I just wish I had the information that you are sharing with all of us many years ago ...instead of all the fear mongering that we were all fed that Estrogen was bad for us
Thank you for you prompt reply. You are a blessing for Women .
June Frew
When you learn more, and find out which option categories are available to you, maybe you can schedule a one-on-one consultation, in which I'll help you weight the benefits & risks of each. I really want to help you.
Menopause Taylor ......Thankyou very much I will make an appointment with my Doctor to find out more about the history of the Cancer I had .....I really appreciate your opinion & time .....I will contact you again when I find out .....
Many thanks .....your are heaven sent to so many xx
I'll be here when you need me.
Thank you 😊
Hi ! I got a ‘pellet ‘ injected into my butt cheek today. I’m so excited to start feeling better. I actually felt like I was dying until I started watching your videos. Went & got a blood test & was in desperate need. You’re a lifesaver. A true angel. I love you SO MUCH THANK YOU! 🙏
You are welcome. What kind of "pellet" is it?
Menopause Taylor it was implanted into my butt cheek. I’ll find out the exact name when the doctors office opens and I will let you know. It’s a combo of testosterone and estrogen and then I take progesterone before bed in a pill form.
It's probably called "BioTE," which is a combination of estrogen and testosterone. It's promoted by professionals in the alternative and complementary community. And it's a real fad right now.
Menopause Taylor yes I recognize that name! What do you think of that brand?
I think it's a great marketing ploy that is working. That doesn't mean that its bad. But it certainly isn't necessarily good, either. I mean, how can there be "one pellet for all"?
And if you don't like the side effects of the pellets, you're stuck with them for 4 months!
In ay case, now that you've had them implanted, the best thing to do is to monitor how you feel & go from there.
If you can have a consultation with me before your 4 moths is up, I'll educate you about everything rather than just pushing a specific product or management style on you. Go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule if you wish to do so.
WHI one fear …my mother took Premarin and Prevage’s back in the day …she ll be 90 and she lives on her own
Birth, reproduction, death! Nothing natural about menopause. Truth! You sure got that right!! Lol Hard to believe we were not meant to outlive our ovaries.
I went into menopause only wanting to relieve my horrible symptoms but here you are teaching us there is more to menopause than hot flashes. I rarely have hot flashes anymore which was a plus but I have/had other symptoms which I never thought estrogen was the answer for. Nobody reaches us these things.
No I am more interested in preventing heart attack. I can see how we have heart attacks. We cant deal with much without estrogen, our heart reaches from stress/anxiety, heart palpitations, etc.
What a "aha" connect the dot moment.
Exactly! I love knowing that this is all making good sense to you. That's because the truth makes sense.
Does it mean that men should live longer , thanks to their testosteron and women, who suffer enough in this life with childbirth, meant to die after 50 according to mother nature?
Men can still reproduce after 50 so they earn the right to live way longer ?:))) Its so unfair! All they have to do is just find a young " nanny"?:))
Thank you for the education, once again! I am so relieved and happy to start HRT next week, via pellets. And it is interesting, it is not hot flashes that bother me...it IS my heart...with the palpitations that rarely accompany a hot flash. I am a healthy person with normal blood pressure ...110/70. But it is not the same anymore, for me....since menopause, at least. (Ps I do plan to see a cardiologist to rule out any heart issues).
You're wise to see a cardiologist. But just know that palpitations are a tell-tale symptoms of menopause.
I love educating you.
I was having palpitations about 4 years ago, and my internist put a Holter monitor on me. Why in the heck didn't she tell me this was a symptom of menopause? Ugh...
joni4taz well probably just to be safe...because, I imagine it may not be 100% a symptom of menopause. It is a disturbing symptom for me. I did not sign up for menopause...😂 I suppose I should be happy I am alive. 🌸
Ann Phillips Amen to that. The Holter monitor didn't show anything abnormal for me so that was good. Hang in there! We WILL get through this challenging time of our lives.
joni4taz 🌺😄...ps...now I want a holter monitor...just to know.
I’m so glad I’m met you before I reach 90. I’ve ya.
Me, too! Keep watching! It's never too late.
Thanks you are a God send I an 68 and have been taking HRT for 10 year and was thinking I had to stop, now I am happy ,and will keep taking them for life.God bless you for what you are doing
It's just wonderful to have facts instead of fear, and to be able to make your decisions confidently. Peace of mind is everything. I'm so happy that I'm helping you.
Spoke to soon... stopped halfway.... my dr did not alert me to looking at risks vs good ..i trust what he said... looking for new dr
If you want me to help you understand EVERYTHING you need to know in order to get exactly what you want to manage your menopause, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. Many women do this before they go see their doctors because I make it so much easier for them and save them a lot of frustration.
I will definitely consider consultation with you As soon as I’m ready
Hello Miss Taylor. I had tears earlier hearing all this for the first time via Hot and Flashy's website. I am Canadian living in Edmonton Alberta and cannot find a doctor here that will prescribe me estrogen. I have been off estrogen and progesterone for a year and I am miserable. I started HRT when I was 49. I am 59 years old. It's frustrating. I made up my mind that I wanted to stay on estrogen forever; but, my present doctor and a gynecologist, in the same clinic, didn't want to be blamed if I developed breast cancer. So my family doctor referred me to another Gynecologist; but the appointment was cancelled due to COVID-19. My spidey senses tell me that the appointment with the Gynecologist would have been in vain anyway. I'm frustrated.
Rachel,
You should schedule a consultation with me. I will help you navigate the medical system and school you in how to get what you want. There is so much more to this than you could ever imagine. But you do need the tools with which to avoid burning your bridges. That's what you'll get from me. Please go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule. You needn't be miserable.
thank you so much 🤍
It's my pleasure, Nehwend.
No hot flashes here but definitely going to go on something soon !
She's an angel!
You are so very kind, my dear. Thank you.
This is THE most important thing about Menopause. I so get this now!!! Thank you again Dr. Taylor
You make me so happy! Now you see what I'm on such a mission to help women. They are so "off" when it comes to understanding the enormity of this situation. Sadly, the consequences of this misunderstanding will be dire.
Hi from Stockholm, Dr. Barbie! I ask the same question as Rosemarie: But, how about us , who's windows have closed are we out of options??? Don't forget about us!
You're never put of options, Ulla. I'll give you options for everything in every category: Diet, Lifestyle, Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs, Hormonal Medications, Non-Hormonal Medications, Acupuncture, & Hypnosis.
Right now, I'm giving you the big picture on the things that you will need to consider as you choose options.
What I won't do is jump around from topic to topic with no direction. I promise that this is a step-wise learning process. You can rest assured that I'll approach everything every which way.
I'm sorry it's so slow. RUclips videos are designed for one nugget at a time. My seminar and book give you the whole picture all at once. Here, I deliver the information in baby steps. But, I'll never forget about you.
Well a BIG hello from Sydney Australia. I just want you to know how much I have learnt and how you have alleviated my fear about hrt. I am 53 and suffered with most of the 22 symptoms of menopause. But I thought well, this is a "natural " process and I should just suck it up. Well after a weekend marathon of watching your videos, I decided to go onto hrt. My Dr has prescribed me Estalis Continous Patch. I've Been on it for three days and you know what?............it's like night and day. Such is the difference especially with the hot flashes. But I have now learnt the long term benefits and for that I am greatfull. Have a Happy Easter. Regards Karen xx
MsKaza64 hello from Melbourne! I'm 54 and have gone on Estalis Continuous 50/140 too after I discovered Dr Taylor on RUclips and watching her videos from day one. As I tell my female friends, as soon as I started on the patches I felt like the "old me".
Elle MelbAus I know isnt great. What a difference its made. I am just saw happy that Dr Taylor has really taken the fear out of taking hrt.
Karen,
Have you any idea how happy I am to hear that you feel so much better? That's the best gift I could get. I love knowing that this education is helping you make knowledgeable decisions about managing your menopause.
You'll find that I cover all categories of things that can affect your menopause, So, keep watching. I'll teach all sorts of things about diet, exercise, and general health. Not a day will transpire when you don't use something you learned to make a decision about something in your life.
Thank you so much for this comment.
Menopause Taylor I was so excited to hear from you. Your videos are well received here in Australia.....that's exciting, yes!!! Looking forward to the next informative video.😀
I just love knowing that I can make things better for you in the Land of Aus! Did you know I lived in Noosa?
I had a consult with you and you said all I needed was a standard script of birth control pills: estrogen/progesterone. I was so overwhelmed I forgot to ask...why do I need progesterone if I don't have a uterus? I had a total hysterectomy at 47. Im 53 now. I'm still watching your videos, backtracked, started over because there's so many. I have PCOS, Insulin Resistance and have put on so much weight I'm miserable in spite of being active, vegan/plantbased diet.
I cannot continue consultations in any comment box. As you discovered in your consultation, everything MUST be tailored specifically to YOU, weighing all YOUR particulars. So only a follow-up consultation can address this, my dear.
This is such a confusing subject. I see articles about Estrogen being prescribed to help reduce high blood pressure, and articles saying you should never take Estrogen to help with heart health. It's very hard to sort out for us laypeople.
It's only confusing if you read articles written by people with an agenda, such as some product to sell. Nothing should be confusing. Everything should make sense.
I promise you this: If you begin with the very first video and watch all my videos in order, you will understand absolutely everything. And you'll have the education to manage your menopause your way.
I have no product to see you. I'm all about education. I present every option in every category: Diet, Lifestyle, Vitamins, Minerals, Botanicals, Herbs, Acupuncture, Hypnosis, Hormonal Medication, and Non-Hormonal Medications.
YO DESERVE this education. Here it is! Take advantage of it. All you have to do is watch my videos in order. That little number after each title tells you the order. And, on my website, they are listed in order (menopauseTaylor.ME).
I really want to help you. And I will erase your confusion.
Most of the articles i see are written by non-medical people, with no credentials, who are trying to persuade you one way or the other.
If you want this whole education in some other format or much more quickly than is possible on RUclips, I have a book and I give a two-day seminar. My goal is to provide every resource for every woman, regardless of her timeline, learning style, or budget. And I'll arm you with an education that you'll use for the rest of your life.
You are completely crazy, I have passed menopause, I had no symptoms. I am so happy and healthy!
I do not take cow or mare hormones, my estrogen is provided naturally by the foods that I eat and have no side effects.
I eat well, sleep perfectly at night and some times I take naps, just like when I was young. My bones are really strong, my hair is still beautiful thick and long, my nails and my skin are also perfect.
I take vitamin C, spirulina for minerals, fish oil, vitamin E, D3, vitamins B which are in spirulina and fresh vegetables as well as vitamin A from alfa and Beta Carotenoids which are in whole foods.my weight is just the same. as before.
I'm glad you have found what works best FOR YOU. That's what every woman deserves. I'm just trying to help them.
Thia is such a good video. I know and knew all of what you said in this video because of what you taught us. BUT I think it is the Doctors who need to watch your videos. I am so sad I missed your giveaway I would have been first there Xxx
There will be more giveaways, my dear. And, yes, I need to educate doctors, too. I do know that some are watching these videos.
Each word of urs made perfect sense to me. I ve no fears of unknown , even when we drive on the road we take much bigger risk than taking hrt ,
Just becoz u guided I started taking birth control pill, its 1 month nd I had my periods, well predicted nd lighter than I used to have. Now it's my second month nd this time I m feeling much better, no nausea or bloating , m so calm nd in control. How can I thank u
U take my heart barbie,😄💕💕💕
You already have thanked me simply by writing this lovely comment. I love knowing that you feel better AND you have peace of mind. That's what this is all about.
I just started the pill, too! Hoping for lighter periods, less mood swings, and overall misery relief!
Yes jennifer, with pill u ll have lighter nd predictable period, calm mind . All the best
Pharmacists & nurses should be trained to diagnose and prescribe Peri & Meno pause HRT options too
Exactly! I'm actually making menopause educational materials for them. too.
Hello, there Menopause Barbie. I love listening to these tutorials! Thanks for sharing all this knowledge with us! I have tried the CombiPatch and it seems to help with hot flashes but, I notice a lot of gastrointestinal problems and extreme bloating while taking it. So I have weaned myself off of it. Do you think it is the progesterone in the CombiPatch? I also had acne while taking it. Would that be the progesterone?
Rhonda,
It's not that simple. To help you, I would need to assess your whole situation. This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU.
I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works:
1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone.
2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. If you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a 5-day deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date.
3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages.
4) I will send you the document by email 72 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth.
5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want in order to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed.
6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use.
7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options.
The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request.
So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively).
I hope to meet you soon!

@@retrogal1622 I look forward to meeting you and helping you. And I'll be ready whenever you are.

Thank you!
Ok, I found out I'm post menopausal in March of this year and we worked it out that I have been since early in 2019. My obgyn put me on a estrogen patch and progesterone tabs. My biggest symptom is hot flashes that are controlling my life now and I truly feel that one of these hot flash times I'm going to have a heart attack because I get so hot it feels like I have actual flames shooting out of the top of my head. I've had them for the past 2 years and my dr was certain that the estrogen would slow them down or stop them. Since being on estrogen and progesterone the hot flashes have slowed but are still so bad, happening way too many times a day and night. Can't sleep at night due to them. Ok, I get what your saying about not focusing of them but on diseases. I get it. But, I for one don't want to live to be 80-90 years old. No thank you, I've watched my grandmothers and mother live that old and I don't want it, nope no way. I know that may sound crazy to you, but I've never expected I'll live that long anyway. I'm a smoker a heavy smoker who has smoked since my teens, I'm now 56 and nope I'm not quiting. So, back to my question. My obgyn put me on progesterone because I only had a partial hysterectomy and we discussed this and that I don't have a uterus. Now I've learned that progesterone is only given with estrogen to prevent uterine cancer????? So, if I'm hearing you correctly, I don't need to take progesterone at all? Correct??
You do not need progesterone at all if you do not have a uterus.
And if you'd like mu personal help in making sure you know EVERYTHING necessary to get things right & have it all tailored specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Hi Barbie, bonjour, J’espere que tu me souviens !? C’est Evelyn! Nous nous sommes rencontrè à Penang il y a ?2ans.
Barbie, I’m still learning French! I’ve been following you on these informative tutorials from the beginning! Pls can you address the way forward for those whose window of opportunity to take estrogen has closed? Thank you.
Bon jour, mon amie! Bien sûr je te souviens.
I will be sure to address everything every which way. I'll give you options in every category: Diet, Lifestyle, Vitamins, Minerals, Botanicals, Herbs, Hormonal Medications, Non-Hormonal Medications, Acupuncture, & Hypnosis. Right now, I'm presenting the big picture. That way, you'll understand what you have to accomplish no matter which options you choose.
I love knowing that your'e watching.
Are there any natural supplements out there, besides estrogen, to help improve estrogen levels in our bodies? I cannot take estrogen because of an open heart valve, but would love to learn more about anything else I can take to improve those levels in my body. Thank you in advance. And I am so appreciative of your factual videos, thank you.
Shelly,
This is something that warrants a consultation because it requires tailoring everything specifically TO YOU. That's precisely what I do in consultations. We'll assess all your options, along with their benefits & risks. If you want to do this, just schedule at Menopause Taylor.ME.
Not sure if anyone else asked these questions, but assuming there are no adverse effects, is it okay to stay on HRT the rest of our lives? If yes, why do so many healthcare practitioners want their patients off HRT as soon as possible? As patients, how should we respond when our practioners begin to balk at our desire to continue HRT? Thanks for all you do to educate us, Dr. Taylor!
Hmmmm. You must not be watching my videos in order.
I’m going to do a little begging: Please, please, go all the way back to Video 1 and watch them from the beginning. Here’s why: I’m an anal, neurotic, pedantic, perfectionistic surgeon. I put great time and energy into making sure I publish my videos in just the right order so that they are the most beneficial for you.
There is absolutely nothing willy-nilly about the order. I guess you could say that my menopause series as akin to “Menopause University.”
I start with Video #1, assuming you know absolutely nothing. And I do not mean that as an insult. The fact is, you don’t know what you don’t know. And, if you start at the beginning, you’ll be shocked at what you thought you knew, but don’t.
These videos are like building blocks. Each video builds on the last. Think of it like this: If you didn’t know the alphabet, could you read? No. Well, if you don’t know the foundation on the topic of menopause, you can’t possibly make sense of it. So, first I teach you the alphabet and then I teach you how to read.
Most women think they know the “alphabet” of menopause, but when they watch my videos in order, beginning with the very first one, they realize that the vast majority of what they thought they knew is misinformation.
That’s why visits with your doctor can seem so unproductive and curt. You don’t speak the language of menopause. Your doctor doesn’t have time to teach you the alphabet, how to read, or how to speak the language. So, most of your time face-to-face with any professional is unfruitful.
If you do watch my videos in order, you’ll get a real education. Then, you’ll discover that your doctor is so impressed that you can speak the language. And your appointments will be incredibly productive. You’ll know what you want and how to get it.
You owe it to yourself to take advantage of the fact that I’m so organized. I leave nothing to chance with your menopause education. Why would you throw that away by jumping into the series in the middle or watching the videos out of order? It’s like jumping into a mini-series in the middle of it. It’s so much better if you watch from the beginning.
I plan the videos 8 months before they air. I shoot then 4 months before they air, and I edit them 1 month before they air. That takes a lot of planning on my part, and you get the benefits of all that planning.
Okay, that’s the end of my begging. I hope you give yourself what you deserve.
If the videos cover the information too slowly (one each week, with over 1000 planned), you should go to my website (MenopauseTaylor.ME) to see the other resources I have available for you. My goal is to provide you with every educational option regardless of your timeline, learning style, or budget.
So, if you need this education pronto, the best thing to do is attend my two-day seminar. If that's not your cup of tea, you can get the seminar on DVD. OR you can get my Menopause book.
In videos 80 - 90. I covered the topic of The Estrogen Window. I led you through, video by video everything you need to know and addressed all the answers to your question. I don't know how anyone can succeed at managing her menopause well by darting around with no order. Please don't sabotage yourself by trying to do it that way.
Menopause Taylor how do we get your book?
Wow wow great video
What if you don’t have months to get through videos thanks
Thanks for the summary. I am taking hrt and my cocktail includes testosterone aDHEA Estrogen and progesterone. You explain progesterone and estogens role but What do testosterone and dhea do?
Testosterone is the male hormone. DHEA is a precursor to testosterone. They increase your sex drive.
The side effects of both are acne, weight gain, whiskers, and aggression.
According to the CDC, 1 in 5 women died of a heart attack in 2020…not sure where the 1 in in 2 data comes from. I wouldn’t expect huge variations over the course of several years of data.
I’m 55 and had suffered severe hot flashes. They were as embarrassing as they were uncomfortable. I also began gaining weight. I was depressed and fatigued and had ZERO libido. My doc first put me on Effexor to treat the symptoms. I had a hysterectomy when I was in my 30’s due to precancerous paps. My ovaries no longer show up on ultrasound. The Effexor stopped working after several months. At MY request, my doc prescribed Premarin 0.625 and told me to stop the Effexor. I had horrible. I mean horrible withdrawal symptoms stopping the Effexor and nearly had a breakdown! That’s another story, but long story short I weaned myself off. After two weeks on the Premarin, my hot flashes stopped as did many other symptoms ,,, except the weight gain. In your opinion, is the dosage of Premarin I am taking safe? And do you have any recommendations for the weight gain. I’m otherwise healthy. I weight 160 currently, which is about 12 lbs over my normal weight. Thanks for your videos. I’m working through them!
