This might sound terrible, but I will gladly take my chances on ANY negative side effects of taking HRT, because the way I was feeling before starting hormones was much worse! It took away my desire to live! Why don’t more doctors know how important this is for women!!??
Because menopause is THE most neglected topic on our planet. There is no education whatsoever in medical school on menopause. And 4-year Ob/Gyn residencies devote only 1% of that time to menopause. I am the first and the only person to ever give women an education on menopause. Everything else is coercion, marketing, advertising, & terrorizing.
My Dr offered meds to deal with all my symptoms rather than fix the problem… why should I risk talking meds, some of which are addictive to deal with the symptoms of menopause??? UGH!!!
@@tinam761 Yes, this is one of the big problems. Schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME and I will school you in precisely how to get whatever you want. I do them all via video.
I waited 4 years without HRT due to ignorance. I finally asked my dr. For HRT, because of you, thank you. I look forward to watching all your videos so I can educate myself.
I'm 47 yrs old. I asked for an appt with my ob/gyn to explain my concerns (major changes in periods, dry skin head to toe including private area, hormonal acne breakouts, feeling irritable or weepy for no reason) They wouldn't give me an appt with my Dr, sent me to the nurse practitioner instead who I explained all my symptoms to & she apparently thinks it's no big deal. Did nothing for me.
@@sarah.j.777I went to a board certified gynecologist and she said HRT causes cancer and that I just have to buy a hand held fan. Totally dismissive. So I feel you.
I'm 44 and in menopause. I brought my dr the study from the American Heart Foundation that Dr Taylor suggested, and my dr agreed to start me on HRT! Thank you, Dr. Taylor!
You are so very welcome. my dear. Don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU.
Dr Taylor your RUclips channel number of subscribers would have been in its double-digit millions had you been a "conventional" physician! Your invaluable message ought to have been broadcast on all the popular health-related RUclips channels. Tragically, society blindly judges us by how we present ourselves!
Everything you say makes sense! However when I say to my GP that HRT prevents heart attacks, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's, she says it's not true!! It's so frustrating! And yes, I think I do know more about menopause than she does - thanks to you!
Yes and this is exactly the problem. We tell women to trust doctors and studies but the average woman on the internet going through menopause will usually know more than the doctors! What is the motive behind US doctors being so against HRT? It's not because they care about our health . That's for damn sure. You'd think they would be drooling at all the money they could be making selling HRT!
@@zsuzsuspetals maybe the psych meds and sleeping pills are better money makers. When I first started meno I had no clue of any of this so I went into the doctor for insomnia that I had never had in my life, they prescribed lunesta but I had to get generic because it was like 500 dollars a month!!! It was an awful experience, it made everything worse until I got off it but I just really wish I had educated myself on the different views of meno years ago but I was terrified so I didn't. Now I'm hoping I didn't accidentally damage myself by waiting so many years but I'm just grateful my new doctor took action and offered when she did❤ she saved my life, job, family time and my life back. I wish you luck in your journey, I know it is not easy
I’ve been on HRT since about 50 and I’m now 66. I don’t ever intend to stop! I’m living in Portugal now. And finding a doctor expert in this is extremely challenging!
Hi Jody. I'm a 56 Portuguese postmenopausal woman on HRT since 54. Have you found a reliable doctor in Portugal to help us in this quest. My OBgyn I love him to death but is completly ignorant in this subject. What I know is what I've been learning from Dr. Taylor (bless her). I would appreciate very much if you could share your findings with me. Hope you're enjoying living in my lovely country. Thank you!!
I had an great appointment with Lidia Reis in cuf Lisboa. She is monopause especialista and Brest cancer especialist. A good listener. Totally trust her. She preciped hrt.
I went through an early menopause at 37 and have been on 2 mg of estradiol since that time. Happy to hear it's double the minimal dose to prevent the top 3! Unfortunately, my ob-gyn wants to wean her patients off HRT at 60. Time to switch to a new doctor in a few years!!
Be sure you have a consultation with me at some point BEFORE finding a new doctor. I'll school you in everything you need to know. It's not as simple as it should be.
I had to find new gynecologist. Saw him yesterday. He was against hrt, but reluctantly aloud me to continue. I’m 49, he thinks 60 is the latest you should be on it if at all. I wish I had a female gynecologist who understood hrt like menopause Taylor does.
@@whiterose1972 The gender of your doctor is irrelevant. The problem is that menopause is THE most neglected topic on earth. If you schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME, I will: (1) Make sure you have the entire education. (2) Tailor everything specifically to YOU. (3) Tell you how to get precisely what you want for your menopause management. I do all consultations via video.
I cannot get over the vast amount of quality research, material, videos and support Dr Taylor has sitting on the world wide web for free! Who does that? Dr Taylor is the reason I took HRT seriously and got an appt with my gyno and began the replacement. I began noticing a difference in my mood (for the better!) and my energy level which if there weren't any other benefits, I'd continue taking just for that! I'm high risk for the 3 dreaded so I'm really happy I started the HRT in addition to my other positive benefits! Thank you Dr. Taylor!
Thank YOU, my dear, for appreciating my efforts. My big dream is for ALL women to get this entire education in their 20s. What a difference that would make for women everywhere. But, we must realize that menopause is THE most neglected topic on Earth, and most women are in complete denial and/or know absolutely nothing about it.
I was 32 at the time of this terribly misleading study. Thankfully at 49 I discovered that wonderful crazy menopause lady. I really appreciate how you explain the importance of estrogen. Speaking of dosages and duration, for some strange reason I want to make oatmeal rason cookies. Great information as always. Thank you.
It's so wonderful to see sbd being herself, following her passion, and being so generous, patient and entertaining with her help! I'm grateful that I can witness this. Thank you, Dr Taylor!
You always provide just the information I need! I was on HRT for 6 months when my doctor recommended I start decreasing doses to see how my body would react so that I could eventually be weaned off. I told that doctor I never want to experience any of those symptoms again (i.e. anxiety, depression, mood swings, feeling like crying for no reason, hot flashes, fatigue, waking in the middle of the night with hot flashes and restroom trips, aching joints, ect.) and if I have to take HRT for the rest of my life I would happily do so! Have I got a video to share with her if she ever suggests that again!
Hi, I just started HRT and I was curious at what point did you fill the relief in your joints? Im wondering if my dosage should be higher? I keep waking up at night also.
@@jenniferortiz7963 All symptoms ceased from the day I start HRT. Every now and then my joints ache but another contributor to that is diet and heredity. What works for me is an anti-inflammatory diet (no sugar just those naturally from most veggies and low glycemic fruit) with Intermittent Fasting. Your aching joints may be caused by some other condition rather than hormonal. Swelling joints especially in the fingers is genetic (my mother and 3 sisters have suffered with that). One thing they all have in common is a love for sweets and they are all overweight. I have also taken supplements bromelian, devil's claw and cat's claw. If you are still having sleep issues I would advise you to consult your physician. It could also be that you just need to give it some time. I hope you find what works for you.
@@debbee18 Thank you so much for your response! I agree, I think diet has a lot to do with it. I’m a huge carb eater. Love anything that crunches. Thank you again💜
New subscriber here. I’m 52 and just started doing HRT last week. I started having hot flushes a few months ago and I had difficulty in sleeping too. Tried reading about pre menopausal and was happy to be able to read hrt and finally convinced my gyne to give me prescriptions. I am taking estradiol and progesterone pills.
Take the lowest dose for the shortest amount of time is absolutely insane and I fell for it until I found you. You make so much sense.... I am so grateful for this education. There is way too much wrong information out there about HRT and bio identical this and that and the pellets. Ugh! It makes me so crazy. What has got me down these past few weeks is that I have not met a woman that wants to discuss menopause or menopause symptoms. I dont know if they are embarrassed or what. They bury their heads in the sand like it doesnt exist. So sad to me. If it were not for you, this education and the women commenting, I would think I was the only woman who felt like this.
It’s so weird to me that women are in such shame about their bodies. Actually I think it extends to all parts of their being with liberal applications of religion as a fast temporary antidote 😂
You are so right, Yvette. Menopause is THE most neglected topic on Earth ... even by the very women who will experience it for the entire second half of their lives! If only women would pull their heads out of the sand and start a menopause revolution, things would improve.
My girlfriends all hit 50 and when I broach the topic, they brag about how they’re only in peri and talk about getting their estrogen from their food…how everyone thinks they still look young…and then they get on FaceTime and all I see is the Turkey neck, grey hair galore and crow’s feet. They don’t want to hear about hrt or tretenoin either… so I’m done trying to talk about it with anyone, even medical professionals who call themselves hrt experts…i went to a so called expert in CT and she did not know what cyclical hrt was..and she charged a whopping $450…a nurse, not even a doctor. I’d be dead in the water without these videos Ms Barbie…thank you so much.
You know what really upsets me is reading comments here about women having to fight and beg for hrt for a few years and 70+ year old Caitlyn Jenner dosen't and never will have these struggles despite being well over the age of menopause. That is the ultimate in unfairness. My doctor got real uncomfortable when I pointed this out. Maybe we all need to start this line of reasoning...
The problem is transwomen have to take high dose estrogen to block testosterone and reverting back to their sex at birth. Sadly, real biological women have to go 18 rounds with their doctor for estrogen replacement that WE WANT. It's our life, our choice! Why does a doctor decide for us! It irks me!
Sorry, when a transman grows a uterus and deals with real world health problems he will still be a confused man wearing a dress and taking hormones to suppress testosterone
Hello Dr. Taylor! I’m on year number two using estradiol patch and could not be happier! Thank you for your multiple consultations and such helpful guidance in this process! If anybody Is wondering whether or not to get a consultation with Dr. Taylor… Just do it! It’s the smartest thing I’ve ever done! Thank you, Dr Taylor! I’ll be scheduling a follow up with you prior to my two year…to go over a few things! Hope all is well with you! ❤️
I've watched HOURS of your videos and gained so much knowledge from you, so Thank You!! I'm almost 53 and had my first menopause discussion with my OBGYN today. It went well and she seemed open as long as I already knew what some of the facts were and what I wanted and why. I feel that if I went to my appointment without the knowledge I gained from you, my appointment would have been a very different one. I'm going to start HRT but I just looked at MyChart and my Estradiol pill dose is .5mg and Progesterone is 200mg. So, I'll have to figure out on asking/getting the Estradiol up to 1mg. You are bettering our lives with this knowledge and we are all pretty grateful after reading comments. Stephanie
Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts. And if you eve want my help in getting what you want, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. Every situation is different, and consultations enable me to tailor everything specifically to YOURS. (Plus, I get to meet you!) I do them all online.
@@susanfrail9564 I'm assuming you mean .75mg and every woman is different for how much Estradiol she needs. Estriol is not the same, so then the dose wouldn't be the same as Estradiol. If you watch all of these videos you will see that there is a minimum dose of Estradiol to take for the health benefits and also much much much more useful information.
I wish every med school would have you regularly lecture all their students on HRT! Ideally in your fabulous outfits 💖This is priceless information. Thank you so much!
Hello Dr. Barbie: Thank you! You are unique and fearless for sharing all this. You boldly present the facts of your investigation as a woman, and I imagine since you suffered it yourself, you're proof of how this works. Just look at you. A big applause for you Dr.
Dr Taylor - can you explain what eventually makes symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, joint pain, etc. go away in women who don’t take HRT? They say the average time for hot flashes is 5-7 years, for example. I’m aware that this is not the case for every woman, that some suffer for much longer or for the rest of their lives. How is the eventual cessation of symptoms in some women, despite a lack of estradiol, explained by science? I’ve not found this explained by anyone and would really like to understand it. Thank you! 🌸
Women are not robots. Some women have these symptoms forever because they are a response to estrogen deficiency. Other women have these symptoms only while they are transitioning through peri-menopause and into post-menopause because they are a response to changing estrogen levels rather than no estrogen.
@@MenopauseTaylor I understand these two “categories” you mentioned. And what about women whose symptoms (hot flashes, joint pain, for example) finally disappear, say 6 years into post menopause? This is what I’m trying to understand. Based on your answer above, their symptoms were caused by estrogen deficiency, since these women were long past the transition, being 6 yrs post menopausal. What happens biologically, when a woman stops having symptoms after being many years post menopausal? I’m also asking, because this “phenomenon” does not seem to be happening in the case of chronic thyroid hormone or insulin deficiency, i.e. symptoms will not disappear while the person is still thoroughly deficient in those vital hormones, to the best of my knowledge.
@@cm1906 No two women are alike. I can help you with YOUR situation in a consultation. I cannot do so in a comment box. While symptoms my disappear, the risk of heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's do not.
@@MenopauseTaylor Sigh! Dr Taylor, I have been so careful and I think very clear in the wording and formulation of my question above. This is not a question pertaining to me or my specific situation. It is a question about the science and facts that I would really like to understand. (I thought this was the purpose of this channel). It is completely fine with me, by the way, if you say you don’t know the answer(s). Suggestions on where to find information on this particular topic would be very welcome as well. I understand if you’re not able to spend time on more detailed answers/explanations.
@@cm1906 If it helps any, there is no scientific answer to your question. There is no data to be found, It is not known why some bodies never have any menopause symptoms and other bodies have them for decades. Just as science cannot predict when a woman will go into labor, the details are unknown. We don't know when a girl will first start menarche. We cannot predict menopause, symptom severity, length of symptoms. There are not studies done on these things. Research costs money and there is no profit in studying these things, so there is no data. (And she did answer your question, you just didn't notice it... some women respond to *changes* in estrogen, once it is zero, there are no more *changes* -- a paraphrase of what she wrote. Also by saying women are not robots she is saying every single women is different and responses are different, there is not a human on earth that can give you precise data for why that is. Estrogen deficiency is not comparable with insulin or thyroid because if you had zero of those hormones, it would be fatal. Hope that helps, if not, apologies and scroll on.
"Approach?" I don't have an "approach." I teach about ALL options, along with all the capabilities and limitations of each. The key is to tailor eveyrthing to the individual woman. Nothing is right for all women.
I chose the most unpopular topic on Earth, and turned my channel into a classroom. There are no quick fixes when it comes to menopause. And since we live in a world in which people like quick fixes and dislike education, I'm well aware of the fact that I will die before making a huge difference for women. But I'll know I helped YOU, and that's all I need.
This video SHOULD GO VIRAL!!! My goodness, Dr Taylor, you are a gift to womankind. 👼👼👼(Wish you'd put the maximum doses though) or did I miss the point!!
Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts. The key to success is just finding the dosage that is right FOR YOU. Your body's opinion is the only one that matters. If you want me to tailor everything to YOU so that you find the right dosage for YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom. I can't wait for my consultation. It has been my experience that women are underserved in general and post menopausal women are just dismissed as a whole. Frustrating. Second only to the mental health population in terms of ignorance about medicine and its administration. God help us in both categories.
Thank you for all that you share here. So if you do not lose estrogen until after menopause would it be good to start on a low dose of estrogen and progesterone while in peri-menopause and then upping the dosage after menopause?
Peri-menopause is the process of losing estrogen, It can take 2 to 1- years. Post-menopause is when all your estrogen is gone, and you live the rest of your life in the land of zero estrogen.
Not only are your videos incredibly informative, but I read the comments and your replies and gain even more info! Whew, the misconceptions and misinformation that is swirling around is painful to see! So many women are doomed! Thank you again for setting the record straight!
Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts. I just think women deserve so much more than they are getting. And the only way things will ever change is if they learn enough to demand more. Unfortunately, the vast majority of women are completely ignorant, in denial, & victims of terrorism about their own hormone.
Yes, you are right. I'm an older woman and feel very disadvantaged due to the scares about HRT and lack of knowledge in the medical field about menopause and hormones. I was on HRT until the 'Big Scare', then Dr wouldn't prescribe it anymore, so I've been left to trying to manage aging without hormones, just trying vitamins and minerals, but NOTHING replaces our hormones. In long ago times, women died at about age 50, so menopause wasn't investigated, but now we live for another 30 to 40 years after menopause, it's a long time to live at less than an optimum level of good health. I've had a few friends pass away from heart attacks and stroke, or developed neuropathy and other disorders.... None were on HRT.
Wow, so this is really helpful. I am learning that when I go back to my dr, if I need a dosage increase, I need to say that I am not getting any relief from my symptoms. Not that it's relieving them some but I still have them. I don't like misleading medical professionals but...
In the UK, the menopause culture among NHS doctors is still so anti HRT, it feels like a battle for anything and everything. I'm in Scotland and our First Minister is 51. If she embraces HRT, she will potentially turn the culture around. Fingers and toes crossed 💛xx
You actually have some great resources in the UK. If you want to know how to access precisely what YOU need, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you 💛 PS There's new talk of HRT products being sold OTC here in the UK. It's a strange mix of reluctance by doctors to prescribe HRT, but now suddenly we might be able to buy it from the supermarket pharmacy! 🙃xx Update edit : apparently only vaginal oestrogen cream will be sold OTC, not systemic HRT.
Thank you!!! I'm on the spray taking 2 sprays because the minimum is supposed to be 1. Upping to 3 tomorrow as it's 4 am and I'm watching your videos.... Thank you ❤

I started HRT when I was thrust into surgical menopause at 47. I decided then and there, that I would take it for the rest of my life. Loved it! 4 1/2 years ago, I had a SCAD, heart attack, and cardiac arrest (did take it for the rest of my life, at that point, heh). Immediately, I was taken off of HRT, as it was discovered that I have Fibromuscular Dysplasia, had so many clots. The cardiologist felt that HRT may cause more clots. I had so many clots due to the SCAD. I have worked on my doctor ever since,to get it back, to no avail. However, according to my recent viewing of videos on RUclips, by gynaecologists, and what can be done to help my cause, the doctor listened to me, and so while ‘he’ still won’t give me a prescription for HRT, he relented, and gave me a prescription for Premarin Cream….better than nothing. PS I never had blood clots in the 12 years I used my beloved HRT. 😊
I've learned that the patch version of estrogen is how you avoid the blood clots. So please look into that, and then see if you can provide that information to your doctor to feel comfortable switching to the patches for you. If you go swimming, put a fully sealed band-aid over it to protect it from leaching out. Dr. Mary Claire Haver is another doctor here on RUclips that discusses all of this.
Hello from Adelaide South Australia Dr Barbie, I adore you & your videos, I'm 62, I stopped HRT 2 years ago & have recently restarted with 25mg Estradiol patches, my recent DEXA scan has revealed a T score of -2.6 in my spine L1 - L4, I have 20% plaque in my arteries & I'm working at reducing my high LDL level of 3.2 to 1.5 with diet & exercise before succumbing to a Statin drug....I'm healthy, don't smoke, hardly drink at all & walk 7 kms a day, I weigh 60 kgs, I've been so depressed & confused about my situation, I simply cant understand why I'm in this predicament. I commenced HRT when I was 50 and was on it for 8 years before my doctor insisted I get off it. Your videos shed so much light but I fear I've missed the opportunity to stave off Heart disease & osteoporosis. In your opinion would you recommend HRT? xx

I went to my OB/GYN a few days ago for a hormone consult and was happy with how it went. There was no mention of a blood test and they gave me the type and dosage of estrogen and progesterone that I requested. I was prepared to put up a fight but thankfully, I didn't have to. lol
Love your information and I am so glad I found you!! I wonder if you could make a video discussing how high can you go I your oestrogen replacement, and how do you detect if you are taking too much, or if there are any side effects of the oestrogen replacement to be on the lookout for? Also I would love to hear if you have thoughts on replacing testosterone as well? As I understand that some do recommend low dosages of that too as testosterone also decreases with menopause. Again Thank You so much Dr. Taylor for making your videos and for standing strong in the battle for true womens rights when it comes to disease prevention!! ❣️

Maid of the Mist Annie: Thank you Dr. Taylor! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been getting a bit of night heat (but no sweating) and have been conflicted [due to fear] about titrating up from 1mg to 1.25 gel. This helps so much. I have my follow up up in March. This makes all the sense. I am sharing this video with my HRT gyn and my DO at our video visit this month.
I had the same thought about sharing this video with my GYN at my next appointment. However, I'm a little concerned that she might be offended at the suggestion that she needs guidance on prescribing my HRT. I'm happy to see that my estrogen dosage does meet the guideline that Dr. Taylor recommends, but my GYN told me that I will need to stop taking HRT after a few years.
@@LisaAnne107 I am doing it more to show my gyn where I got my information. I decided upon my regime by watching Dr. Taylor's videos and BBC and weighing risks benefits. I would also read pub med abstracts to get more datas to inform my choices. I showed up at my GYN's office already knowing what I wanted for my regime, and he said: that soinds fine :) I never intend to stop taking estrogen. Of cpurse, you are not obligated to listen to your GYN. You are always free to change doctors.

I love how I feel on estrogen patch low dose but I keep gaining weight on it. They tried me out on a higher dose and I swelled up and my face got all puffy. So went back to lower dose. How do I stop this madness? I already weigh 290 at 5’8 and am very heavy chested and carry weight in stomach. Legs. I can’t stand it! I workout 4-5 days a week via walking fast and also weights 2x week. I eat around 1800 calories a day /mostly healthy foods. And drinks lots of water but the estrogen is making me retain water and is also making me extremely hungry. Any tips on how to counter all of this? Should I ask for progesterone or test? I had a full hysterectomy with ovaries removed four months ago. I was already post menopausal after having had an endometrial ablation done a year prio, for some reason I want from being extremely firtile to menopause in one year after ablation. I just want to lose weight and also feel better. I have to get this weight off. Blah. That’s a massive concern for me. But so is mental health.

The Famous “Suzanne Summers” just fractured her hip a year ago just stepping off a trolley car she is 72 years old and lived on bio identical hormone replacement for years ! That was her Mantra for years on TV and all her books ! Also she just recently fell down some steps with her husband and fractured her neck ! Very interesting Info ! So much for bio identical replacement! I will make appt with you Dr.Taylor soon 🌹
I felt very empowered starting HRT after understanding my options and the minimum dosages needed to prevent the big 3. I had my Menopause Chart ready, so as soon as I was prescribed a lower dose than needed, I was able to immediately advocate for myself and was approved to the dose I requested. Not only do I feel GREAT, I feel confident that I am giving my body the best shot against osteoporosis, heart disease, and Alzheimers while also completely eliminating my symptoms. Literally all thanks to menopause Barbie.
Theres nothing better than the feeling of confidence that comes from having an education that empowers you to make good choices for yourself. Your body doesn't lie. So, if you give it what it wants. it will give you what you want.
DR. Taylor, so I already passed the time to Be able to take HRT, you have covered the reasons why my DR simply refused I hear it in every video and agree. NOW, when that is the case what is/are the recommendations for those of us that can not take hormone replacement. In which book/chapter in your book can I find that information? Thank you so much for your invaluable contribution to this topic.

Oh my GOSH!!! I am thanking god, the universe AND the quantum field for bringing me to your videos!!😄I'm 60, started peri menopause at 48 with ALL the symptoms because of incredible stress, and basically started hrt immediately because there was no way I was going to live on without it. .5, then 1mg, then 1.5 but my very expensive functional medicine doctor (a very young woman) told me to reduce my dose because my blood levels are twice what the "normal range" supposedly is, meanwhile I've recently learned from you that not only are those numbers completely arbitrary, but I've had so many symptoms for years that could easily be attributed to not enough estrogen!! Pretty bad brain fog & memory issues for my age, fatigue & insomnia/depression top the list. And my numbers barely moved after reducing the dose as much as I could without getting hot flashes & night sweats back. I'm just so amazed that even this functional doc is parroting the WHI report!! WoW. And my adrenals were never even discussed. I know by how I feel that i am completely "tapped" re my adrenals (at least I think so, lol) As soon as I can I'm going to set up a consultation with you! Thank you soooo much Dr Taylor! 💜🙏
Thank you so much for all your educational and helpful videos!! QUESTION: I was just perscribed the Estradiol patch (.025 mg) 2x a week. How do I convince my doctor that I need .o5mg?
Marybeth, This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. The conversation you have with your doctor HAS to be specific to your situation. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
Please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. The only way to manage your menopause successfully is to listen to YOUR BODY (not your brain or what you read) and tailor everything specifically to YOU. That's what I do in consultations. I do them all online.
Wow, this is crazy! It's disappointing how backwards modern medicine seems to be. It makes it so difficult for women to find accurate, unbiased information to be able to help themselves. Luckily, I'm meeting with you in a week- can't wait to soak up even more knowledge! Thank you so much for all you do, Dr. Taylor!
I am so glad you're going to have a consultation with me. Be sure to read the entire long (about 100-page) document I send you 4 days beforehand. That way, you'll make good use of your consultation time.
Great info , i ve been taking notes and learning so much from you , your efforts are greatly appreciated . I just want to know now how to understand my blood result to make sure that i m on the right way to prevent the three big diseases.could you please tell me how much should each of Estradiol? Testosterone? Progesterone? Be in the blood
You will never succeed using labs. All labs are but a snapshot in time. Your life is not. And the very definition of menopause is that all your hormones go to 0. Gone! Kaput! How can you test for something that is absent? If you want to ensure that you are doing what's right FOR YOU, please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
Quick question I can’t seem to find answer: when taking estradiol patch 2/week at .1mcg dosage, is that delivering .1 mcg daily? Or. Is that .1 split up between 3.5 days?
I ❤ Estrogen and will keep taking it forever. On a different note: do you see an increase in all 3 diseases in women 70 and below? Those who turned 50 just as the whi came out and were stripped of their hrt.
I have friends in their 70s who were put on HRT and then suddenly stopped because of the study. They all said they felt so much better when on the HRT. And some other friends just in their 60s who never got HRT at all, and they're crumbling now. It's a tragedy to me 😊xx
Aging is aging. It's not about your actual age. What matters is how long the aging process has gone on. And we do not all age at the same pace or in the same ways.
Share ! Share ! Share with every woman you love. I am a huge supporter of watching Dr Taylor video in order BUT it encourages hopefully the woman who still believes that estrogen causes breast cancer.
Thank you for the valuable work you’re doing to educate women in a time when the medical profession does not have the best interests of menopausal women in the decisions, & limitations that have been put on their access to estrogen.
I'm 53. 2 years ago was diagnosed with Hashimotos. I went on the estrodial patch about 4 years ago to curb severe hot flashes and symptoms. It was great for about 2 years but then the symptoms were slowly coming back. I asked my doctor to up my dosage, he wouldnt due to "risks". So Ive suffered through. Well, the last year I now have an allergic reaction to adhesive which includes the patch. I contacted my doctor and he said I could take a pill form but my mother in law said she is positive that her HRT is what gave her breast cancer. She talked me into stopping my HRT and so I suffer through the symptoms as I just dont know what to do anymore. Should I take the estrogen or not? Does it affect my Hashimotos (I'm Hypothyroid)? I'm so lost now so I just suffer.
You definitely need to schedule a consultation with me, my dear. I will help you so much. I'll make sure you understand all the facts, tailor them all specifically to YOU, and help you decide what's best FOR YOU. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME, and I do them all via video. You definitely do not have to suffer. You just need to know HOW to get what you want, and I will help you do so.
Dr Taylor, I decided to deal with my symptoms of peri menopause and 3 diseases you mentioned in this video and made an appointment with my doctor to start my HRT. I watched many of your videos and feel empowered by the information you share. Please remind me what is the best way to contact you if I decide to schedule consultation with you. Thank you
I have a question. I think the most vital insight in these videos is understanding the dosage our bodies need to prevent the big three diseases. However, we are presented with multiple forms of HRT. So my question is: is it even possible to get the proper dosage of estrogen and progesterone using any thing other than prescription?? How would you even know you’re hitting the baseline requirements if you’re using only natural supplements?
Every body is different. These are things that must be tailored to the individual. So your body may require something different than someone else's body. This is precisely the kind of thing I do in consultations: Tailor everything specifically to YOU. Women are not robots. There is nothing that will suffice for all women. If you want a consultation, schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
The Mantra is EXACTLY the same Mantra that my GP used when I started to make enquiries about taking HRT as I transitioned into post Menopause over the last few months. She (my GP) said "we only prescribe HRT for symptoms such as hot flushes where they become so bad that it begins to affect quality of life" lol omg. But now that I've heard the Mantra with my very own ears, and from now on, I will start to use it to my own advantage, based on my education and knowledge fthat I have learnt (and continue to learn) from attending Menopause Taylor University 😬
I was told something horrible by my doctor in that she only prescribes HRT when you are entirely in menopause, not as you transition from peri into menopause and your levels might be dipping down. Unreal.
Thank you for this! It is SO important! My doctor will not prescribe over 0.1mg transdermal estridiol, despite the fact I'm still having symptoms AND a strong family history of alzheimers. I believe women who are high risk should be offered MORE estrogen than someone who does not have a family history. Also; my doctor recommends not taking hrt for more than 5 to 10 years. I'm only 48. The past 4 years have been so miserable that I can't imagine being completely without my hormones. That is simply inhumane. It all seems so ridiculous that we have to fight to find a provider that will just give us what we need! Especially since more and more data comes out proving estrogen preserves our health. I want to see if I feel better with more estrogen. Why is 0.1mg the line in the sand almost all doctors draw the line at? Should I wait for things to change.....and meanwhile lose gray matter? Is this my only option? Really? It is unacceptable. But what can we do? I feel defeated. Menopause is already a trying time. I've honestly never felt worse. Fighting for something my body needs to function and prevent disease should not be this hard.
You definitely need a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will school you in precisely how to get what you want and need. I do all consultations via video conferencing.
@@Luva_-_ Hi Luva, I’m not familiar with Ona products. Do you need RX for these? Are they creams or what form? Where can you purchase? Are there labs required that suggest dosage/strength. Thanks for sharing.
Something that’s always confusing to me is in Perimenopause doctors will often prescribe birth control pill to help for symptoms but the birth control pill has higher levels of hormones than what HRT does, why is the default the birth control pill … IF even that because sometimes they suggest antidepressants
HRT and birth control (containing BOTH estrogen and progestin) are the very same thing at different dosage levels. The younger you are, the higher the dosage of estrogen your body needs. This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. If you want one, you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Dear Menopause Taylor, could you please tell me the minimal dosage for (bioidentical) Estradiol Lozenges? Is it the same as for Estradiol Pills? Thank you so much in advance and thank you for all the good work you're doing! Greetings from Germany, Tania
Titania, Your compounded lozenges are not capable of preventing any diseases ... regardless of dosage. What you need is a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME, which you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online. That way, you will be sure to achieve your goals.
Thanks for all this info. My question is can you take too much? Can too much give blood clots? That's what I was told. I'm taking the estradiol patch twice a week. I'm taking 0.75. with progesterone pill 100mg.also.

So informative! Thank you so much for your videos. What about estrogen metabolism? Can you talk about this and how it pertains to taking HRT? I’m worried that taking estrogen will be hard to detox down the correct pathways. Would love to hear your opinion on this!
No two women are alike. Our metabolisms differ. So this is something that has to be tailored specifically to YOU. I can do that in a consultation. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME and I do them all via video.
I would like to make an appointment with you, however, the times and days you offer dont work for me. I work all week. Monday to Friday. Do you have any other options?
Thank you for this wonderful video! QUESTION: WHAT IS A HEALTHY BLOOD LEVEL OF ESTROGEN?? When my OBGYN prescribed the 1mg of estradiol, my blood level estrogen shot way up to 1270, which both my GP and the lab report said this level was way too high and was unhealthy and that I was setting myself up for CANCER. So my GP had my dose cut in half to .05mg. Once I switched to the .05mg, my blood estrogen dropped to 466 which is considered by most doctors and labs to be NORMAL. ---------‐‐--------------- EDIT: Never mind! I just watched your video on Horemone Levels for Determining HRT Doseage. I'm just going to get my dosage switched back and "Listen To My body". Thank you!! ❤
Taylor on your chart of dosages under Pellets and injections it says does “long term” under risk what does this mean? Seems theses are easy at least for me as I like injection but it seems it has risk and many the most. Do you have a video explaining this long term and risks. Thank you. Waiting for my consultation
To really get this right FOR YOU, you'd need a consultation. All that matters is that you do what's right FOR YOU. Most studies assess risk over the short term (because studies are too expensive to do over a long term). But some risks are short-term risks. Other risks are long-term risks.
Thank you for another great video! I was originally put on .25 estradiol and had debilitating flashes and exhaustion, my Dr did put me on .5 estradiol patch and I have very few flashes now. Feel like my old self. Without that patch and progesterone at night, I was unable to function. Thank you for all of this important information, I just can't understand why no one talks about menopause and every time I tell someone I'm on HRT they say it's dangerous. I just want to shake the stupid out of them 😉
@@Prophetmother You should never compare your menopause experience with another woman. If you have questions, schedule a consultation with me so that I can tailor everything to YOU.
I am diagnosed with osteoporosis and started the bioidentical hormones a year ago. I have never had the typical symptons like hot flashes so I thought I don`t need to take anything. I had a deeper dive into HRT when I fell off my bike and broke my foot. Here in Germany doctors don´t know as much about bone density and hormones. They simply want to treat you with the heavy medications ( like Prolia)and ask you to look after your D3. I am so happy that I came across your very informative chanel. I now take 2 pumps of Gynokadin( 1 pump contains 0.6 mg Estradial. I apply it as a cream on my inner leg. In addition I take one capsule of 200 mg Progesterone. In the morning I add some Testosterone cream on my arm. ( I can`t get pellets here in Germany) . I am so shocked and worried about the osteoporosis and I am not sure if the amount of Estrogen is okay to get better with the Osteoporosis .Maybe you can let me know. Thank you for educating us with your chanel. I have learnt so much . Greetings from Germany, Barbara

You cannot predict such things. Every trial of any hormone requires a minimum of 2 MONTHS to determine anything about it. You may or may not see results in that period of time. It just depends on all the details about both you and the particular estrogen.
@@MenopauseTaylor Just a question, do you do thyroid consultations as well. I’m a type 1 diabetic have thyroid deficiency as well as hormone deficiency. I feel like it’s hard for me to get this into balance. Thank you so much!
@@aprilepp74 I am not an endocrinologist. But I do know a bit about the thyroid. I will be happy to tailor everything specifically to YOU and help you.
Nothing is about how I feel. It's all about fact versus fear. There is no relationship between increased estrogen and breast cancer! In fact, all studies show that women who can take estrogen all boy itself (without progestogen) actually lower their risk of breast cancer. The unit on breast cancer will begin on May 30. It will consist of 55 videos. I promise that I will present everything every which way so that you know the whole truth and the whole story. Currently nearly all the so-called "common knowledge" about breast cancer is governed entirely by fear (and money) rather than fact.
I love everything that you do for us woman! Thank you so much . I just started going through post menopause, I am 56 Years old. I started Estrogen replacement And progesterone six months ago. I am 118 pounds woman who is very active with exercise. I am taking two milligrams of estradiol for some reason my menopause doctor wants to wean me down to 1.5 making me afraid that I’m going to get blood clots I know I’m leaving this practice I don’t feel comfortable with her even when I have conversations I’m going to a menopause clinic with Heather Hirsch soon . I was wondering do you think in the meantime I should stay with the 2 m or listen to what she’s telling me because I don’t feel like it’s enough even with the 2 mg? ♥️❤️
My Dear Denise, This is something that definitely warrants a consultation. I need to tailor everything specifically to YOU. I cannot do so in a comment box.

You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all via video.
Denise, I've had them tell me the same thing with no sound reasoning as to why! Think of it this way, our bodies are used to swimming in estrogen our entire lives! It's the loss of estrogen that creates issues for women!
I remember my obgyn saying oh I see your on Hrt. How are you doing on it? I was approaching 65 started at 48. I said, I’m doing fine!! It has saved my life. She said, We should probably start cutting that down.😳 I said, what? Why is that? She said, well you can’t take it forever! I said, hmm the Doctor I had before you that put me on it said I would take it for the rest of my life, God willing. And thats what I fully intend on doing! She looked at me stunned. She didn’t say anything and she didn’t cut it down or wean me off or have that conversation again. Thank you Lord🙌
I’ll be getting the pellet for the first time in a couple of days. What is the minimum amount I should be receiving to make sure I’m protected from the big three? I didn’t see it in the list.

Dear Dr Barbie, in Denmark where I live, the most progressive gynecologist i could find say you cannot take estrogen fore more than 5 year, so what do I do when that time comes? A prescription is required for hormone therapy. Best regards Akiko
Would you take insulin for only 5 years? Would you take thyroid hormone for only 5 years? A hormone deficiency is a hormone deficiency. You will be estrogen deficient for the rest of your life.

I have a silly question: I have been looking at your charts and so far the "Femring" seems most appealing. However, it looks like the maximum daily dosage available for the Femring is only .10mg per day whilst you recommend a daily dosage of 1.0mg/day. This is a whopping ten times the amount of the dosage possible. Is this correct? or am I missing or misunderstanding something? If this is actually correct, how does one get the right dose? Would the Femring have to be used in conjunction with other forms of Estrogen in order to get the necessary dosage to prevent disease of menopause?
Once we get a consultation with you, how do we follow through with the advice? Do you have a list of practitioners that will write these prescriptions for us?
I’m wondering the same thing. I don’t want to offend or come across insulting to my Dr. . It’s so hard to find a Physician that believes the same principles as Dr. Taylor.
I will always give you "homework," which consists of the things you need to do now. After you've done the "homework," you will schedule consultations with me when you need them to fine tune your management. You are not a robot, so things will change over time.
DR. TAYLOR, I’ve been thinking about having an online appointment with you, but I wanted to know if you could still prescribe hormones. My doctor says he won’t give me estrogen again, unless I have a mammogram, but I’ve heard that mammograms are a scam because they’re not that accurate and they can actually increase your chance of breast cancer by damaging your breast tissue. Anyway, I need to find another prescriber to give me my estrogen. But for now, I just started watching this video, and you said that aging starts when our estrogen drops. For now, I’d really appreciate it, if you’d answer me one question because I’m anxious to know this, after hearing what you said. During the last couple of months, we were super busy with moving to a new home, and I lost my bottle of estradiol, during all the moving. I didn’t find it until 3 weeks later, so I went without it for that long. I started having hot flashes again, although they stopped when I finally found it. My fear and my question to you is this : If I didn’t take estrogen for 3 weeks, could that have triggered the aging process to start, and once it starts, is it too late to stop it from progressing, even if you start taking estrogen again?

This might sound terrible, but I will gladly take my chances on ANY negative side effects of taking HRT, because the way I was feeling before starting hormones was much worse! It took away my desire to live! Why don’t more doctors know how important this is for women!!??
Because menopause is THE most neglected topic on our planet. There is no education whatsoever in medical school on menopause. And 4-year Ob/Gyn residencies devote only 1% of that time to menopause. I am the first and the only person to ever give women an education on menopause. Everything else is coercion, marketing, advertising, & terrorizing.
My Dr offered meds to deal with all my symptoms rather than fix the problem… why should I risk talking meds, some of which are addictive to deal with the symptoms of menopause??? UGH!!!

I love knowing that this education is empowering you to advocate for yourself. That's what it's all about.
Idem!
I'm 47 yrs old. I asked for an appt with my ob/gyn to explain my concerns (major changes in periods, dry skin head to toe including private area, hormonal acne breakouts, feeling irritable or weepy for no reason)
They wouldn't give me an appt with my Dr, sent me to the nurse practitioner instead who I explained all my symptoms to & she apparently thinks it's no big deal. Did nothing for me.

Your invaluable message ought to have been broadcast on all the popular health-related RUclips channels.
Tragically, society blindly judges us by how we present ourselves!
Everything you say makes sense! However when I say to my GP that HRT prevents heart attacks, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's, she says it's not true!! It's so frustrating! And yes, I think I do know more about menopause than she does - thanks to you!
Yes, unfortunately they no longer want to prescribe it and people have to buy from online pharmacies for £50 for 3 months!
Yes and this is exactly the problem. We tell women to trust doctors and studies but the average woman on the internet going through menopause will usually know more than the doctors! What is the motive behind US doctors being so against HRT? It's not because they care about our health . That's for damn sure. You'd think they would be drooling at all the money they could be making selling HRT!
@@aniccadance13 At least its cheap!
@@zsuzsuspetals maybe the psych meds and sleeping pills are better money makers. When I first started meno I had no clue of any of this so I went into the doctor for insomnia that I had never had in my life, they prescribed lunesta but I had to get generic because it was like 500 dollars a month!!! It was an awful experience, it made everything worse until I got off it but I just really wish I had educated myself on the different views of meno years ago but I was terrified so I didn't. Now I'm hoping I didn't accidentally damage myself by waiting so many years but I'm just grateful my new doctor took action and offered when she did❤ she saved my life, job, family time and my life back.

Hi Jody. I'm a 56 Portuguese postmenopausal woman on HRT since 54. Have you found a reliable doctor in Portugal to help us in this quest. My OBgyn I love him to death but is completly ignorant in this subject. What I know is what I've been learning from Dr. Taylor (bless her). I would appreciate very much if you could share your findings with me. Hope you're enjoying living in my lovely country. Thank you!!
How do you get your prescriptions in Portugal?
I had an great appointment with Lidia Reis in cuf Lisboa. She is monopause especialista and Brest cancer especialist. A good listener. Totally trust her. She preciped hrt.
I went through an early menopause at 37 and have been on 2 mg of estradiol since that time. Happy to hear it's double the minimal dose to prevent the top 3! Unfortunately, my ob-gyn wants to wean her patients off HRT at 60. Time to switch to a new doctor in a few years!!
Be sure you have a consultation with me at some point BEFORE finding a new doctor. I'll school you in everything you need to know. It's not as simple as it should be.

I cannot get over the vast amount of quality research, material, videos and support Dr Taylor has sitting on the world wide web for free! Who does that? Dr Taylor is the reason I took HRT seriously and got an appt with my gyno and began the replacement. I began noticing a difference in my mood (for the better!) and my energy level which if there weren't any other benefits, I'd continue taking just for that! I'm high risk for the 3 dreaded so I'm really happy I started the HRT in addition to my other positive benefits! Thank you Dr. Taylor!
Thank YOU, my dear, for appreciating my efforts. My big dream is for ALL women to get this entire education in their 20s. What a difference that would make for women everywhere. But, we must realize that menopause is THE most neglected topic on Earth, and most women are in complete denial and/or know absolutely nothing about it.

You always provide just the information I need! I was on HRT for 6 months when my doctor recommended I start decreasing doses to see how my body would react so that I could eventually be weaned off. I told that doctor I never want to experience any of those symptoms again (i.e. anxiety, depression, mood swings, feeling like crying for no reason, hot flashes, fatigue, waking in the middle of the night with hot flashes and restroom trips, aching joints, ect.) and if I have to take HRT for the rest of my life I would happily do so! Have I got a video to share with her if she ever suggests that again!
Same!!!
Hi, I just started HRT and I was curious at what point did you fill the relief in your joints? Im wondering if my dosage should be higher? I keep waking up at night also.
@@jenniferortiz7963 All symptoms ceased from the day I start HRT. Every now and then my joints ache but another contributor to that is diet and heredity. What works for me is an anti-inflammatory diet (no sugar just those naturally from most veggies and low glycemic fruit) with Intermittent Fasting. Your aching joints may be caused by some other condition rather than hormonal. Swelling joints especially in the fingers is genetic (my mother and 3 sisters have suffered with that). One thing they all have in common is a love for sweets and they are all overweight. I have also taken supplements bromelian, devil's claw and cat's claw. If you are still having sleep issues I would advise you to consult your physician. It could also be that you just need to give it some time. I hope you find what works for you.

Take the lowest dose for the shortest amount of time is absolutely insane and I fell for it until I found you. You make so much sense....
I am so grateful for this education. There is way too much wrong information out there about HRT and bio identical this and that and the pellets. Ugh! It makes me so crazy.
What has got me down these past few weeks is that I have not met a woman that wants to discuss menopause or menopause symptoms. I dont know if they are embarrassed or what. They bury their heads in the sand like it doesnt exist. So sad to me. If it were not for you, this education and the women commenting, I would think I was the only woman who felt like this.
I get the same responses. I now say, I thought menopause was just about hot flashes…boy was I wrong! Sometimes, they inquire but mostly, they don’t.
It’s so weird to me that women are in such shame about their bodies. Actually I think it extends to all parts of their being with liberal applications of religion as a fast temporary antidote 😂
You are so right, Yvette. Menopause is THE most neglected topic on Earth ... even by the very women who will experience it for the entire second half of their lives! If only women would pull their heads out of the sand and start a menopause revolution, things would improve.
Yup, same here. My friends don't want to hear about HRT
My girlfriends all hit 50 and when I broach the topic, they brag about how they’re only in peri and talk about getting their estrogen from their food…how everyone thinks they still look young…and then they get on FaceTime and all I see is the Turkey neck, grey hair galore and crow’s feet. They don’t want to hear about hrt or tretenoin either… so I’m done trying to talk about it with anyone, even medical professionals who call themselves hrt experts…i went to a so called expert in CT and she did not know what cyclical hrt was..and she charged a whopping $450…a nurse, not even a doctor. I’d be dead in the water without these videos Ms Barbie…thank you so much.
You know what really upsets me is reading comments here about women having to fight and beg for hrt for a few years and 70+ year old Caitlyn Jenner dosen't and never will have these struggles despite being well over the age of menopause. That is the ultimate in unfairness. My doctor got real uncomfortable when I pointed this out. Maybe we all need to start this line of reasoning...
The problem is transwomen have to take high dose estrogen to block testosterone and reverting back to their sex at birth. Sadly, real biological women have to go 18 rounds with their doctor for estrogen replacement that WE WANT. It's our life, our choice! Why does a doctor decide for us! It irks me!
And don’t men get access to testosterone.. free?
@@jeanetteraichel8299 they say trans women are women, so let's be all treated the same way. Or maybe we all call ourselves trans women now.
@@13nlsc not free but no struggle. My husband had no issues with this.
Sorry, when a transman grows a uterus and deals with real world health problems he will still be a confused man wearing a dress and taking hormones to suppress testosterone
Your videos, Dr. B, are a breath of fresh air. Straight and to the point, no nonsense invaluable information for all women. Thank you.
It's my absolute pleasure. You have been such a wonderful supporter of my efforts.
Hello Dr. Taylor! I’m on year number two using estradiol patch and could not be happier! Thank you for your multiple consultations and such helpful guidance in this process! If anybody Is wondering whether or not to get a consultation with Dr. Taylor… Just do it! It’s the smartest thing I’ve ever done! Thank you, Dr Taylor! I’ll be scheduling a follow up with you prior to my two year…to go over a few things!
Hope all is well with you! ❤️
You are so very welcome, my dear. I love helping you, and I so appreciate your words of encouragement for other women.
Are you on the Xulane patch? I am considering that.
So you just take estrogen or progesterone too?
I've watched HOURS of your videos and gained so much knowledge from you, so Thank You!! I'm almost 53 and had my first menopause discussion with my OBGYN today.
It went well and she seemed open as long as I already knew what some of the facts were and what I wanted and why. I feel that if I went to my appointment without the knowledge I gained from you, my appointment would have been a very different one. I'm going to start HRT but I just looked at MyChart and my Estradiol pill dose is .5mg and Progesterone is 200mg. So, I'll have to figure out on asking/getting the Estradiol up to 1mg. You are bettering our lives with this knowledge and we are all pretty grateful after reading comments. Stephanie

Every situation is different, and consultations enable me to tailor everything specifically to YOURS. (Plus, I get to meet you!) I do them all online.
What’s 75mg of estriol is it to much to be on
@@susanfrail9564 I'm assuming you mean .75mg and every woman is different for how much Estradiol she needs. Estriol is not the same, so then the dose wouldn't be the same as Estradiol. If you watch all of these videos you will see that there is a minimum dose of Estradiol to take for the health benefits and also much much much more useful information.
Hi, I was wondering what your thoughts are on women taking pregnenolone or dhea?
"Women"? You are you. I can tailor everything specifically to YOU in a consultation. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
I wish every med school would have you regularly lecture all their students on HRT! Ideally in your fabulous outfits 💖This is priceless information. Thank you so much!
You are so very welcome, my dear. I think all women deserve this education (in their 20s).
Hello Dr. Barbie: Thank you! You are unique and fearless for sharing all this. You boldly present the facts of your investigation as a woman, and I imagine since you suffered it yourself, you're proof of how this works. Just look at you. A big applause for you Dr.
Dr Taylor - can you explain what eventually makes symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, joint pain, etc. go away in women who don’t take HRT? They say the average time for hot flashes is 5-7 years, for example. I’m aware that this is not the case for every woman, that some suffer for much longer or for the rest of their lives. How is the eventual cessation of symptoms in some women, despite a lack of estradiol, explained by science? I’ve not found this explained by anyone and would really like to understand it. Thank you! 🌸
Women are not robots. Some women have these symptoms forever because they are a response to estrogen deficiency. Other women have these symptoms only while they are transitioning through peri-menopause and into post-menopause because they are a response to changing estrogen levels rather than no estrogen.
@@MenopauseTaylor I understand these two “categories” you mentioned. And what about women whose symptoms (hot flashes, joint pain, for example) finally disappear, say 6 years into post menopause? This is what I’m trying to understand. Based on your answer above, their symptoms were caused by estrogen deficiency, since these women were long past the transition, being 6 yrs post menopausal. What happens biologically, when a woman stops having symptoms after being many years post menopausal?
I’m also asking, because this “phenomenon” does not seem to be happening in the case of chronic thyroid hormone or insulin deficiency, i.e. symptoms will not disappear while the person is still thoroughly deficient in those vital hormones, to the best of my knowledge.
@@cm1906 No two women are alike. I can help you with YOUR situation in a consultation. I cannot do so in a comment box.
While symptoms my disappear, the risk of heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's do not.
@@MenopauseTaylor Sigh! Dr Taylor, I have been so careful and I think very clear in the wording and formulation of my question above. This is not a question pertaining to me or my specific situation. It is a question about the science and facts that I would really like to understand. (I thought this was the purpose of this channel). It is completely fine with me, by the way, if you say you don’t know the answer(s). Suggestions on where to find information on this particular topic would be very welcome as well. I understand if you’re not able to spend time on more detailed answers/explanations.
@@cm1906 If it helps any, there is no scientific answer to your question. There is no data to be found, It is not known why some bodies never have any menopause symptoms and other bodies have them for decades. Just as science cannot predict when a woman will go into labor, the details are unknown. We don't know when a girl will first start menarche. We cannot predict menopause, symptom severity, length of symptoms. There are not studies done on these things. Research costs money and there is no profit in studying these things, so there is no data. (And she did answer your question, you just didn't notice it... some women respond to *changes* in estrogen, once it is zero, there are no more *changes* -- a paraphrase of what she wrote. Also by saying women are not robots she is saying every single women is different and responses are different, there is not a human on earth that can give you precise data for why that is.
Estrogen deficiency is not comparable with insulin or thyroid because if you had zero of those hormones, it would be fatal. Hope that helps, if not, apologies and scroll on.
Barbie, you are brilliant, and a Godsend. Just upped my patch to 0.1. I'll go higher if I'm still lying on my back staring at the ceiling until 4 a.m.
I can help you with this in a consultation, which you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
As a physician, not a patient, how can I learn more about your treatment approach?
Thank you for asking
"Approach?" I don't have an "approach." I teach about ALL options, along with all the capabilities and limitations of each.
The key is to tailor eveyrthing to the individual woman. Nothing is right for all women.
So good. I’ve watched this one 100 times and shared it. It’s so vital. Come on y’all!!!!
I chose the most unpopular topic on Earth, and turned my channel into a classroom. There are no quick fixes when it comes to menopause. And since we live in a world in which people like quick fixes and dislike education, I'm well aware of the fact that I will die before making a huge difference for women. But I'll know I helped YOU, and that's all I need.
Thank you so much for the excellent information…I’ve found my voice to advocate for what I need and was able to present a good case to my doctors.
This video SHOULD GO VIRAL!!! My goodness, Dr Taylor, you are a gift to womankind. 👼👼👼(Wish you'd put the maximum doses though) or did I miss the point!!
Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts.
The key to success is just finding the dosage that is right FOR YOU. Your body's opinion is the only one that matters.
If you want me to tailor everything to YOU so that you find the right dosage for YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom. I can't wait for my consultation. It has been my experience that women are underserved in general and post menopausal women are just dismissed as a whole. Frustrating. Second only to the mental health population in terms of ignorance about medicine and its administration. God help us in both categories.
If women start pulling their heads out of the sand and demand more, they'll get more. The denial is the biggest problem of all.
Thank you for all that you share here. So if you do not lose estrogen until after menopause would it be good to start on a low dose of estrogen and progesterone while in peri-menopause and then upping the dosage after menopause?
Peri-menopause is the process of losing estrogen, It can take 2 to 1- years.
Post-menopause is when all your estrogen is gone, and you live the rest of your life in the land of zero estrogen.
@@MenopauseTaylor Do you find HRT can help with anxiety and depression?
@@Keri-bl1ss Both anxiety and depression are direct symptoms of estrogen deficiency.
Not only are your videos incredibly informative, but I read the comments and your replies and gain even more info! Whew, the misconceptions and misinformation that is swirling around is painful to see! So many women are doomed! Thank you again for setting the record straight!
Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts. I just think women deserve so much more than they are getting. And the only way things will ever change is if they learn enough to demand more.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of women are completely ignorant, in denial, & victims of terrorism about their own hormone.
Yes, you are right. I'm an older woman and feel very disadvantaged due to the scares about HRT and lack of knowledge in the medical field about menopause and hormones.
I was on HRT until the 'Big Scare', then Dr wouldn't prescribe it anymore, so I've been left to trying to manage aging without hormones, just trying vitamins and minerals, but NOTHING replaces our hormones.
In long ago times, women died at about age 50, so menopause wasn't investigated, but now we live for another 30 to 40 years after menopause, it's a long time to live at less than an optimum level of good health.
I've had a few friends pass away from heart attacks and stroke, or developed neuropathy and other disorders....
None were on HRT.
Dr Taylor, I heartfully appreciate and enjoy your fabulous videos. Thank you for generously sharing your expertise & wisdom with us.
You are so very welcome, my dear. I love every minute of delivering this education to you.
I love all your videos and the information pearls you are so generous with. Thank you 😊
You are so very welcome, my dear. I love making these videos for you.
Wow, so this is really helpful. I am learning that when I go back to my dr, if I need a dosage increase, I need to say that I am not getting any relief from my symptoms. Not that it's relieving them some but I still have them. I don't like misleading medical professionals but...
In the UK, the menopause culture among NHS doctors is still so anti HRT, it feels like a battle for anything and everything.
I'm in Scotland and our First Minister is 51. If she embraces HRT, she will potentially turn the culture around. Fingers and toes crossed 💛xx
That would be awesome and help so many women. I really hope this happens anywhere in the world would be a great start.
You actually have some great resources in the UK. If you want to know how to access precisely what YOU need, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you 💛
PS There's new talk of HRT products being sold OTC here in the UK. It's a strange mix of reluctance by doctors to prescribe HRT, but now suddenly we might be able to buy it from the supermarket pharmacy! 🙃xx
Update edit : apparently only vaginal oestrogen cream will be sold OTC, not systemic HRT.
@@anne-louisegoldie It is a step in the right direction, though.
@@MenopauseTaylor yes it is 💛
Thank you!!! I'm on the spray taking 2 sprays because the minimum is supposed to be 1. Upping to 3 tomorrow as it's 4 am and I'm watching your videos.... Thank you ❤
Consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you want to be sure you are meeting you goals This is not a "Do It Yourself" matter. I do all consultations online.
I started HRT when I was thrust into surgical menopause at 47. I decided then and there, that I would take it for the rest of my life. Loved it! 4 1/2 years ago, I had a SCAD, heart attack, and cardiac arrest (did take it for the rest of my life, at that point, heh). Immediately, I was taken off of HRT, as it was discovered that I have Fibromuscular Dysplasia, had so many clots. The cardiologist felt that HRT may cause more clots. I had so many clots due to the SCAD. I have worked on my doctor ever since,to get it back, to no avail. However, according to my recent viewing of videos on RUclips, by gynaecologists, and what can be done to help my cause, the doctor listened to me, and so while ‘he’ still won’t give me a prescription for HRT, he relented, and gave me a prescription for Premarin Cream….better than nothing. PS I never had blood clots in the 12 years I used my beloved HRT. 😊
Whether or not you resume taking HRT should be YOUR decision, based on YOUR comfort zone, and YOUR risk tolerance.
Did you take the hrt when you had the heart attack or afterwards?
I've learned that the patch version of estrogen is how you avoid the blood clots. So please look into that, and then see if you can provide that information to your doctor to feel comfortable switching to the patches for you. If you go swimming, put a fully sealed band-aid over it to protect it from leaching out. Dr. Mary Claire Haver is another doctor here on RUclips that discusses all of this.
Hello from Adelaide South Australia Dr Barbie, I adore you & your videos, I'm 62, I stopped HRT 2 years ago & have recently restarted with 25mg Estradiol patches, my recent DEXA scan has revealed a T score of -2.6 in my spine L1 - L4, I have 20% plaque in my arteries & I'm working at reducing my high LDL level of 3.2 to 1.5 with diet & exercise before succumbing to a Statin drug....I'm healthy, don't smoke, hardly drink at all & walk 7 kms a day, I weigh 60 kgs, I've been so depressed & confused about my situation, I simply cant understand why I'm in this predicament. I commenced HRT when I was 50 and was on it for 8 years before my doctor insisted I get off it. Your videos shed so much light but I fear I've missed the opportunity to stave off Heart disease & osteoporosis. In your opinion would you recommend HRT? xx

I went to my OB/GYN a few days ago for a hormone consult and was happy with how it went. There was no mention of a blood test and they gave me the type and dosage of estrogen and progesterone that I requested. I was prepared to put up a fight but thankfully, I didn't have to. lol
I am so glad you got what you want to manage YOUR menopause YOUR way. That's how it should be.
Dr. Taylor, you were ON FIRE in this video! Love it!
Ha! Well, thank you, y dear.
Love your information and I am so glad I found you!! I wonder if you could make a video discussing how high can you go I your oestrogen replacement, and how do you detect if you are taking too much, or if there are any side effects of the oestrogen replacement to be on the lookout for? Also I would love to hear if you have thoughts on replacing testosterone as well? As I understand that some do recommend low dosages of that too as testosterone also decreases with menopause.
Again Thank You so much Dr. Taylor for making your videos and for standing strong in the battle for true womens rights when it comes to disease prevention!! ❣️
I too would be very interested in Dr Taylor's opinions on these questions

Hi Barbie,

Maid of the Mist Annie: Thank you Dr. Taylor! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been getting a bit of night heat (but no sweating) and have been conflicted [due to fear] about titrating up from 1mg to 1.25 gel. This helps so much. I have my follow up up in March. This makes all the sense. I am sharing this video with my HRT gyn and my DO at our video visit this month.
I had the same thought about sharing this video with my GYN at my next appointment. However, I'm a little concerned that she might be offended at the suggestion that she needs guidance on prescribing my HRT. I'm happy to see that my estrogen dosage does meet the guideline that Dr. Taylor recommends, but my GYN told me that I will need to stop taking HRT after a few years.
@@LisaAnne107 I am doing it more to show my gyn where I got my information. I decided upon my regime by watching Dr. Taylor's videos and BBC and weighing risks benefits. I would also read pub med abstracts to get more datas to inform my choices. I showed up at my GYN's office already knowing what I wanted for my regime, and he said: that soinds fine :) I never intend to stop taking estrogen. Of cpurse, you are not obligated to listen to your GYN. You are always free to change doctors.

I love how I feel on estrogen patch low dose but I keep gaining weight on it. They tried me out on a higher dose and I swelled up and my face got all puffy. So went back to lower dose. How do I stop this madness? I already weigh 290 at 5’8 and am very heavy chested and carry weight in stomach. Legs. I can’t stand it! I workout 4-5 days a week via walking fast and also weights 2x week. I eat around 1800 calories a day /mostly healthy foods. And drinks lots of water but the estrogen is making me retain water and is also making me extremely hungry. Any tips on how to counter all of this? Should I ask for progesterone or test? I had a full hysterectomy with ovaries removed four months ago. I was already post menopausal after having had an endometrial ablation done a year prio, for some reason I want from being extremely firtile to menopause in one year after ablation. I just want to lose weight and also feel better. I have to get this weight off. Blah. That’s a massive concern for me. But so is mental health.

I've been reading that it takes more than just HRT. HRT is one component. You also need heavy resistance/jump training and protein increase in diet.
I felt very empowered starting HRT after understanding my options and the minimum dosages needed to prevent the big 3. I had my Menopause Chart ready, so as soon as I was prescribed a lower dose than needed, I was able to immediately advocate for myself and was approved to the dose I requested. Not only do I feel GREAT, I feel confident that I am giving my body the best shot against osteoporosis, heart disease, and Alzheimers while also completely eliminating my symptoms. Literally all thanks to menopause Barbie.
Theres nothing better than the feeling of confidence that comes from having an education that empowers you to make good choices for yourself. Your body doesn't lie. So, if you give it what it wants. it will give you what you want.

Oh my GOSH!!! I am thanking god, the universe AND the quantum field for bringing me to your videos!!😄I'm 60, started peri menopause at 48 with ALL the symptoms because of incredible stress, and basically started hrt immediately because there was no way I was going to live on without it. .5, then 1mg, then 1.5 but my very expensive functional medicine doctor (a very young woman) told me to reduce my dose because my blood levels are twice what the "normal range" supposedly is, meanwhile I've recently learned from you that not only are those numbers completely arbitrary, but I've had so many symptoms for years that could easily be attributed to not enough estrogen!! Pretty bad brain fog & memory issues for my age, fatigue & insomnia/depression top the list. And my numbers barely moved after reducing the dose as much as I could without getting hot flashes & night sweats back. I'm just so amazed that even this functional doc is parroting the WHI report!! WoW. And my adrenals were never even discussed. I know by how I feel that i am completely "tapped" re my adrenals (at least I think so, lol) As soon as I can I'm going to set up a consultation with you! Thank you soooo much Dr Taylor! 💜🙏

Quick question I can’t seem to find answer: when taking estradiol patch 2/week at .1mcg dosage, is that delivering .1 mcg daily? Or. Is that .1 split up between 3.5 days?
I ❤ Estrogen and will keep taking it forever. On a different note: do you see an increase in all 3 diseases in women 70 and below? Those who turned 50 just as the whi came out and were stripped of their hrt.
I have friends in their 70s who were put on HRT and then suddenly stopped because of the study. They all said they felt so much better when on the HRT. And some other friends just in their 60s who never got HRT at all, and they're crumbling now. It's a tragedy to me 😊xx

I am a huge supporter of watching Dr Taylor video in order BUT it encourages hopefully the woman who still believes that estrogen causes breast cancer.
The doctor who used to head up breast cancer research at the Mayo Clinic in Florida wouldn’t take HRT….I know this personally.
Thank you for the valuable work you’re doing to educate women in a time when the medical profession does not have the best interests of menopausal women in the decisions, & limitations that have been put on their access to estrogen.
You are so very welcome, my dear. I am on a mission to give you the menopause education you deserve.
Thank you! I couldn't find that chart anywhere else!!
I love providing what you need.
I'm 53. 2 years ago was diagnosed with Hashimotos. I went on the estrodial patch about 4 years ago to curb severe hot flashes and symptoms. It was great for about 2 years but then the symptoms were slowly coming back. I asked my doctor to up my dosage, he wouldnt due to "risks". So Ive suffered through. Well, the last year I now have an allergic reaction to adhesive which includes the patch. I contacted my doctor and he said I could take a pill form but my mother in law said she is positive that her HRT is what gave her breast cancer. She talked me into stopping my HRT and so I suffer through the symptoms as I just dont know what to do anymore. Should I take the estrogen or not? Does it affect my Hashimotos (I'm Hypothyroid)? I'm so lost now so I just suffer.
You definitely need to schedule a consultation with me, my dear. I will help you so much. I'll make sure you understand all the facts, tailor them all specifically to YOU, and help you decide what's best FOR YOU. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME, and I do them all via video. You definitely do not have to suffer. You just need to know HOW to get what you want, and I will help you do so.
Dr Taylor, I decided to deal with my symptoms of peri menopause and 3 diseases you mentioned in this video and made an appointment with my doctor to start my HRT. I watched many of your videos and feel empowered by the information you share. Please remind me what is the best way to contact you if I decide to schedule consultation with you. Thank you
Go to MenopauseTaylor.ME. You'll see "One-on-One Consultation" tab. I do them all via video, and I hope I get to meet you and help you.
So are you saying that BHRT will not help prevent any of these 3 diseases?
Yes! That is exactly the case.
@@MenopauseTaylor you are the first to tell me this I would love to understand why that is? I know several woman that would disagree.
@@lisahollen5085 You will discover why in the next video.
And your heart, bones, and brain don't give a fig about whether or not you agree.
I have a question. I think the most vital insight in these videos is understanding the dosage our bodies need to prevent the big three diseases. However, we are presented with multiple forms of HRT. So my question is: is it even possible to get the proper dosage of estrogen and progesterone using any thing other than prescription?? How would you even know you’re hitting the baseline requirements if you’re using only natural supplements?
Every body is different. These are things that must be tailored to the individual. So your body may require something different than someone else's body.
This is precisely the kind of thing I do in consultations: Tailor everything specifically to YOU. Women are not robots. There is nothing that will suffice for all women.
If you want a consultation, schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
The Mantra is EXACTLY the same Mantra that my GP used when I started to make enquiries about taking HRT as I transitioned into post Menopause over the last few months. She (my GP) said "we only prescribe HRT for symptoms such as hot flushes where they become so bad that it begins to affect quality of life" lol omg. But now that I've heard the Mantra with my very own ears, and from now on, I will start to use it to my own advantage, based on my education and knowledge fthat I have learnt (and continue to learn) from attending Menopause Taylor University 😬
I was told something horrible by my doctor in that she only prescribes HRT when you are entirely in menopause, not as you transition from peri into menopause and your levels might be dipping down. Unreal.
And, you have beautiful skin! I'm looking for your skin care routine next 🙏❤️
Is there a video about this?
Thank you for this! It is SO important! My doctor will not prescribe over 0.1mg transdermal estridiol, despite the fact I'm still having symptoms AND a strong family history of alzheimers. I believe women who are high risk should be offered MORE estrogen than someone who does not have a family history. Also; my doctor recommends not taking hrt for more than 5 to 10 years. I'm only 48. The past 4 years have been so miserable that I can't imagine being completely without my hormones. That is simply inhumane.
It all seems so ridiculous that we have to fight to find a provider that will just give us what we need! Especially since more and more data comes out proving estrogen preserves our health. I want to see if I feel better with more estrogen. Why is 0.1mg the line in the sand almost all doctors draw the line at? Should I wait for things to change.....and meanwhile lose gray matter? Is this my only option? Really?
It is unacceptable. But what can we do? I feel defeated. Menopause is already a trying time. I've honestly never felt worse. Fighting for something my body needs to function and prevent disease should not be this hard.
I buy Onas natural BHRT estradiol 1mg per pump, 99 pumps per pack $50usd per pack.
@@Aldebaran-pw9bb I have not found pure estradiol mostly it’s mixed with other estrogens
I’ve found over the last 1.5 years that trying to get estrogen is like pulling teeth but even more frustrating
You definitely need a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will school you in precisely how to get what you want and need. I do all consultations via video conferencing.
@@Luva_-_ Hi Luva, I’m not familiar with Ona products. Do you need RX for these? Are they creams or what form? Where can you purchase? Are there labs required that suggest dosage/strength. Thanks for sharing.
Something that’s always confusing to me is in Perimenopause doctors will often prescribe birth control pill to help for symptoms but the birth control pill has higher levels of hormones than what HRT does, why is the default the birth control pill … IF even that because sometimes they suggest antidepressants
HRT and birth control (containing BOTH estrogen and progestin) are the very same thing at different dosage levels.
The younger you are, the higher the dosage of estrogen your body needs.
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. If you want one, you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Dear Menopause Taylor, could you please tell me the minimal dosage for (bioidentical) Estradiol Lozenges? Is it the same as for Estradiol Pills? Thank you so much in advance and thank you for all the good work you're doing! Greetings from Germany, Tania
Titania,
Your compounded lozenges are not capable of preventing any diseases ... regardless of dosage.
What you need is a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME, which you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online. That way, you will be sure to achieve your goals.
Thanks for all this info. My question is can you take too much? Can too much give blood clots? That's what I was told. I'm taking the estradiol patch twice a week. I'm taking 0.75. with progesterone pill 100mg.also.
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via online video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
So informative! Thank you so much for your videos.
What about estrogen metabolism? Can you talk about this and how it pertains to taking HRT? I’m worried that taking estrogen will be hard to detox down the correct pathways. Would love to hear your opinion on this!
No two women are alike. Our metabolisms differ. So this is something that has to be tailored specifically to YOU. I can do that in a consultation. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME and I do them all via video.
I would like to make an appointment with you, however, the times and days you offer dont work for me. I work all week. Monday to Friday. Do you have any other options?
Please send an email to my assistant via the website contact request form (MenopauseTaylor.ME).
Thank you for this wonderful video!
QUESTION:
WHAT IS A HEALTHY BLOOD LEVEL OF ESTROGEN??
When my OBGYN prescribed the 1mg of estradiol, my blood level estrogen shot way up to 1270, which both my GP and the lab report said this level was way too high and was unhealthy and that I was setting myself up for CANCER.
So my GP had my dose cut in half to .05mg. Once I switched to the .05mg, my blood estrogen dropped to 466 which is considered by most doctors and labs to be NORMAL.
---------‐‐---------------
EDIT: Never mind! I just watched your video on Horemone Levels for Determining HRT Doseage. I'm just going to get my dosage switched back and "Listen To My body". Thank you!! ❤
Now you understand why you have to watch the videos in order. I lead you up to a complete understanding on everything.
Taylor on your chart of dosages under Pellets and injections it says does “long term” under risk what does this mean? Seems theses are easy at least for me as I like injection but it seems it has risk and many the most. Do you have a video explaining this long term and risks. Thank you. Waiting for my consultation
To really get this right FOR YOU, you'd need a consultation. All that matters is that you do what's right FOR YOU.
Most studies assess risk over the short term (because studies are too expensive to do over a long term). But some risks are short-term risks. Other risks are long-term risks.
Thank you for another great video! I was originally put on .25 estradiol and had debilitating flashes and exhaustion, my Dr did put me on .5 estradiol patch and I have very few flashes now. Feel like my old self. Without that patch and progesterone at night, I was unable to function. Thank you for all of this important information, I just can't understand why no one talks about menopause and every time I tell someone I'm on HRT they say it's dangerous. I just want to shake the stupid out of them 😉
How quickly did you notice the effect after you increased your dosage?
Are your breasts sore while on estrogen patch? I am on a patch ( 0.75) and my breasts are not just tender but very sore!
When someone says HRT for menopause is dangerous, ask if Insulin and thyroid hormone replacement are dangerous.
@@Prophetmother You should never compare your menopause experience with another woman. If you have questions, schedule a consultation with me so that I can tailor everything to YOU.
@@Prophetmother pretty quick..
I am diagnosed with osteoporosis and started the bioidentical hormones a year ago. I have never had the typical symptons like hot flashes so I thought I don`t need to take anything. I had a deeper dive into HRT when I fell off my bike and broke my foot. Here in Germany doctors don´t know as much about bone density and hormones. They simply want to treat you with the heavy medications ( like Prolia)and ask you to look after your D3. I am so happy that I came across your very informative chanel. I now take 2 pumps of Gynokadin( 1 pump contains 0.6 mg Estradial. I apply it as a cream on my inner leg. In addition I take one capsule of 200 mg Progesterone. In the morning I add some Testosterone cream on my arm. ( I can`t get pellets here in Germany) . I am so shocked and worried about the osteoporosis and I am not sure if the amount of Estrogen is okay to get better with the Osteoporosis .Maybe you can let me know. Thank you for educating us with your chanel. I have learnt so much . Greetings from Germany, Barbara

hi! wd have preferred if u cd be less dramatic n more precise.. or better give pointers n do s n dont s.. who has the patience n time for history etc etc.. ty soo much.. best wshes..
Thank you so much for this information! Soooo extremely important. Looking forward to your next video on compounded hormones. After I watch that one I will need to book with you....unfortunately, it sounds like the biest I am on is doing nothing to prevent the big 3. Have a wonderful week. 💖
You are correct. Your BiEst is not preventing any diseases. I do hope you schedule that consultation.

Thank you so much for another great lesson! I just started taking 1mg of estradiol. How long approximately for me to see some relief of symptoms?
With me it just took a couple of days, but every woman is different.
You cannot predict such things. Every trial of any hormone requires a minimum of 2 MONTHS to determine anything about it. You may or may not see results in that period of time. It just depends on all the details about both you and the particular estrogen.
That’s my dose and I felt better in a week or two but it was a couple of months for the full effects
@@MenopauseTaylor Just a question, do you do thyroid consultations as well. I’m a type 1 diabetic have thyroid deficiency as well as hormone deficiency. I feel like it’s hard for me to get this into balance. Thank you so much!
@@aprilepp74 I am not an endocrinologist. But I do know a bit about the thyroid. I will be happy to tailor everything specifically to YOU and help you.
How do you feel about the relationship between increase estrogen and breast cancer ? Thanks for any answer
Nothing is about how I feel. It's all about fact versus fear.
There is no relationship between increased estrogen and breast cancer! In fact, all studies show that women who can take estrogen all boy itself (without progestogen) actually lower their risk of breast cancer.
The unit on breast cancer will begin on May 30. It will consist of 55 videos. I promise that I will present everything every which way so that you know the whole truth and the whole story.
Currently nearly all the so-called "common knowledge" about breast cancer is governed entirely by fear (and money) rather than fact.
I love everything that you do for us woman! Thank you so much . I just started going through post menopause, I am 56 Years old. I started Estrogen replacement And progesterone six months ago. I am 118 pounds woman who is very active with exercise. I am taking two milligrams of estradiol for some reason my menopause doctor wants to wean me down to 1.5 making me afraid that I’m going to get blood clots I know I’m leaving this practice I don’t feel comfortable with her even when I have conversations I’m going to a menopause clinic with Heather Hirsch soon . I was wondering do you think in the meantime I should stay with the 2 m or listen to what she’s telling me because I don’t feel like it’s enough even with the 2 mg? ♥️❤️
My Dear Denise,
This is something that definitely warrants a consultation. I need to tailor everything specifically to YOU. I cannot do so in a comment box.
If you have the consultation with me BEFORE you go to your doctor, I will have schooled you in precisely HOW to have the conversation so that you don't burn your bridges.
You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all via video.
Denise, I've had them tell me the same thing with no sound reasoning as to why! Think of it this way, our bodies are used to swimming in estrogen our entire lives! It's the loss of estrogen that creates issues for women!
I remember my obgyn saying oh I see your on Hrt. How are you doing on it? I was approaching 65 started at 48.
I said, I’m doing fine!! It has saved my life. She said, We should probably start cutting that down.😳 I said, what? Why is that? She said, well you can’t take it forever!
I said, hmm the Doctor I had before you that put me on it
said I would take it for the rest of my life, God willing.
And thats what I fully intend on doing! She looked at me stunned. She didn’t say anything and she didn’t cut it down or wean me off or have that conversation again.
Thank you Lord🙌
@@suzyshoemaker7804Good on you

No pellets of any kind are capable of preventing any of these diseases. They are the biggest scam around.
Schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you want to avoid scammers ... and the 3 diseases.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you for saying this! As a pharmacist I am asked about these pellets all the time! I try to caution women against them.

You should schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME for this. I need to tailor everything specifically to YOU and YOUR goals. I can't do that in a video or in a comment box. And you definitely need to know their limitations. I do all consultations online.
Dear Dr Barbie, in Denmark where I live, the most progressive gynecologist i could find say you cannot take estrogen fore more than 5 year, so what do I do when that time comes? A prescription is required for hormone therapy.
Best regards Akiko
Would you take insulin for only 5 years?
Would you take thyroid hormone for only 5 years?
A hormone deficiency is a hormone deficiency. You will be estrogen deficient for the rest of your life. Does 5 years make any sense to you?

Hi Dr. Taylor, for 17 B estradiol 0.06 (gel ) are 2 bumps a day good enough a? Thanks
This requires tailoring specifically TO YOU in a consultation. Women are not robots. Please schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do then all via video.
I have a silly question: I have been looking at your charts and so far the "Femring" seems most appealing. However, it looks like the maximum daily dosage available for the Femring is only .10mg per day whilst you recommend a daily dosage of 1.0mg/day. This is a whopping ten times the amount of the dosage possible. Is this correct? or am I missing or misunderstanding something? If this is actually correct, how does one get the right dose? Would the Femring have to be used in conjunction with other forms of Estrogen in order to get the necessary dosage to prevent disease of menopause?
The 0.1 mg Femring meets the very minimal dosage requirement for preventing the diseases.
Once we get a consultation with you, how do we follow through with the advice? Do you have a list of practitioners that will write these prescriptions for us?
I’m wondering the same thing. I don’t want to offend or come across insulting to my Dr. . It’s so hard to find a Physician that believes the same principles as Dr. Taylor.
I will always give you "homework," which consists of the things you need to do now. After you've done the "homework," you will schedule consultations with me when you need them to fine tune your management. You are not a robot, so things will change over time.
DR. TAYLOR, I’ve been thinking about having an online appointment with you, but I wanted to know if you could still prescribe hormones. My doctor says he won’t give me estrogen again, unless I have a mammogram, but I’ve heard that mammograms are a scam because they’re not that accurate and they can actually increase your chance of breast cancer by damaging your breast tissue. Anyway, I need to find another prescriber to give me my estrogen. But for now, I just started watching this video, and you said that aging starts when our estrogen drops. For now, I’d really appreciate it, if you’d answer me one question because I’m anxious to know this, after hearing what you said. During the last couple of months, we were super busy with moving to a new home, and I lost my bottle of estradiol, during all the moving. I didn’t find it until 3 weeks later, so I went without it for that long. I started having hot flashes again, although they stopped when I finally found it. My fear and my question to you is this : If I didn’t take estrogen for 3 weeks, could that have triggered the aging process to start, and once it starts, is it too late to stop it from progressing, even if you start taking estrogen again?
I wonder if u could do a video about how other countries attitudes toward hrt Which countries has the most women on hrt?
They vary greatly.
