Oh thank you, Kat. I really strive to give you what you deserve. You deserve to know everything and to have the opportunity to tailor all information to your own needs and desires. My goal is to make that possible and available for all women.
OMG! Where do i start?! I distinctly remember my mom suffering N/V/migraines in her 40s. She was hospitalized at one point and given phenergan; however, those were her menopausal (or maybe peri-menopausal?) symptoms. I am now in my 40s and she tells me now to just "deal" with my own symptoms and I jogged her memory about her own experience .....she has forgotten how traumatic it was for all of us! Why are we women just "band-aiding" this phase?! Thanks Dr. Taylor! :)
I just said I have NO IDEA ABOUT MENOPAUSE and HOW COME NO ONE TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ?????? So very grateful I found you and can learn all about it. I will also have my daughter learn as well. Cant thank you enough. What a struggle it has been for months now that I’m in it!!!!!
Thank you for what you do! I can say I know somethings about menopause but not at the extent you know it. I just turn fifty and haven’t think a lot about menopause issues. I was thinking only that it was going to be such a relief to get rid of the periods… I hated when I had my first (13 yo) and have hated every single period my entire life. Ugh! I’m buying your book. I’ll watch your videos. I want to learn. Thank you again. Much love.
You are so very welcome, my dear. Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. And you'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that you now do know. Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know. I respond to all comments here on RUclips daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!) And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time. I do them all online.
The story about the husband and wife was hilarious 😂. I just began my HRT journey yesterday, and can thank you tremendously, because even only having watched the first 20 videos approx, I had enough tools and understandings to convince my Dr to get me started, asap, first visit. I’m coming back to review some stuff and will definitely be following your process, to continue to learn more, and more, and more. Thank you, Dr Taylor ✨🥳✨
What a sweetheart. Here's why I don't have millions of subscribers: Menopause is THE most neglected (and most unpopular) topic on Planet Earth ... even though 50% of the world's population spend 50% of their lives in the state of menopause. So I took the most unpopular subject on earth and made my RUclips channel into a classroom with it! But I hope that I eventually wake up enough women to have a menopause revolution so that all women get the education they deserve.
Hello BEAUTIFUL Taylor🙏. You r a GOD sent. THANK YOU for ALL that you contribute in TEACHING and EDUCATING US WOMEN about OUR GOD GIVEN BODIES!!!!! I’m glad I was informed about you through the LOVELY (hot n flashy ) on RUclips ! God bless
You are so very kind. Thank you, my dear. And welcome to "Menopause University." If you start with video 1 and watch all my videos in order you will understand everything. But if you watch them randomly, you will sabotage your menopause education completely. And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
You are so amazing! I am 50 and in perimenoapuse (I think) , I pride myself on being knowledgeable about medical matters, but ... I don’t know the first thing about menopause, and it seems that none of my friends do, either, and haven’t yet consulted with my doctor yet (and I can’t expect her to be my “teacher” in any event). so very thankful I found your channel!
Terri, Before you go to your doctor, consider scheduling a one-on-one consultation with me. I'll make sure you know everything you need to know in order to make your time with your doctor productive. (Doctor's visits are only about 10 - 15 minutes, you know!) Doctors are not teachers. And they are terrible at teaching lay persons. All I do is educate, and I do so in a way that works for YOU. I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works: 1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone. 2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date. 3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages. 4) I will send you the document by email 48 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth. 5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want in order to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed. 6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use. 7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options. The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request. So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively). I hope to meet you soon!
As one would feel getting stuck in a revolving door... I was as confused going in, as I was going out! My mother didn't prepare me when I was young. My 1st period happened at the beach & I was scared to death thinking that I was hemorrhaging! I didn't know much about menopause when I started at around 45 yrs old. Times have changed & I prepared all of my children. I even had a talk with my son to help him "survive" living with his 2 sisters & myself. I'm sure this helped him understand his wife more also. More conversations need to be had! I'm loving your channel! ~Susanne
Susanne, I love you! Everything you've written is so classic. You're going about this with the right attitude and the perfect response. Keep speaking up. And let's get everyone else to open up, too.
I’m a 43 year old woman who has been suffering through peri menopause for about two years now and just found you like an angel straight from heaven!! Thank you for all that you do and just for the person you are!!! You’re amazing and uplifting!! A million thanks!!

I am so enjoying your videos , just wish my Dr didn’t tell me I should come off HRT , Im 71, and was quite happy and fit , Not so since coming off HRT , hair loss, pain in joints , , depression, 👍😘
Your menopause educational videos are beyond brilliant!!! I consider myself as a quite naive on that extremely important subject until now. For I believed that menopause is something similar to taking an exam or just a passage in time ...! You prepare for it, then you pass it and leave it behind you. Thanks to the recent interview on the fantastic Dominique Sachse RUclips channel I have discovered your amazing person 🤗. You are an unique juwel dear & wonderful Dr. Barbie Taylor 💎💎💎 ...❣❣❣ And I couldn't have been happier about the fact, that I feel immensely blessed to regard myself as one of your students in your pretty special & one of a kind open university for menopause ❣ Much love Sylvia from Hamburg/Germany P.S. I do admire your dressing style. It's utterly romantic & remainds me of la belle époque 🏰...!!!
Sylvia, Welcome to "Menopause University"! If you watch all my videos in order, starting with the very first one, you will understand everything. If you watch them randomly, you will sabotage your entire menopause education. And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I'm so glad you're here!
I believe I started perimenopause about the age of 40. I just turned 50, and from 40 until my last period, which was 2 years ago were so rough that I turned to alcohol to deal with the depression, anxiety, insomnia etc... I suddenly felt as though I couldn't cope with life. I eventually stopped drinking with the help of a wonderful therapist. But I wish I would have been better mentally prepared for perimenopause Thank you Dr Taylor for giving women these videos so full of information. .
Sarah, Your story is not uncommon. How I wish I had been there for you 10 years ago. I'm so proud of you for getting help and managing your symptoms. I'm here to help you with every aspect of menopause. Be sure to keep up on this education. There are so many important things about which most women know nothing. For instance: Menopause really isn't about t hot flashes. It's about heart attacks, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's Disease. I'll be teaching you everything you need to know to prevent these things.
Fantastic I just came over from Dominique's channel to yours and what a breath of fresh air it is.. I am distracted by you because you reminded me of someone and then I thought of it, you are so like Sarah Jessica Parker. I mean this as a compliment as you are so beautiful. I wonder has anyone said this to you before. Thank you so much for your channel it is so good x
Lorraine, Yes, a few people have told me that I remind them of Sarah Jessica Parker. Apparently, it's my manner more than my appearance. Or maybe it's her semi-curly hair and my ultra-curly hair. Thank you for the compliment.
Barbie, I enjoy your videos. Your sweet personality with your info is wonderful. I have been on menapause for as lost 4 years. I don't think of it as an illness instead an adjustment. Good health is my biggest priority.
Nancy, I don't know how I missed this comment, but want to respond even though it's quite late. I admire your attitude. I think you're going to do great no matter what. Kudos to you.
OMG! - After every video I love you more!! THANK YOU! You would think that with all the older sisters I have someone would have sat me down and talked about this. Now I realize why they didn't/couldn't.
Oh Melissa, It's so sad that most women haven't gotten any guidance or information at all. So the cluelessness is pervasive. I'll remedy that ... for you and and many other women as I possibly can.
Thank you for your insight and knowledge. Many years ago my mother was going through menopause after a hysterectomy with no hormone therapy and I was going through puberty at the same time. Unfortunately I don't think our relationship was ever quite recovered. I wish she had had resources like this. Now I am 49 and I know it will happen to me very soon. My mother died of breast cancer so I have some tough choices to make regarding hormones ahead.
Of course, I'll be teaching you everything about breast cancer as it relates to menopause ... but that video is a looong way off. We need to cover all the "normal" stuff first. But don't worry. You have time and so do I. And I'll spend mine educating you.
Discovered you about a month ago. Finally taking your advice and starting from the beginning instead of jumping around to my particular issue. Thanks for taking your time to make this so interesting. 73 years old and still learning- #its all about me. Telling all my friends about you
I am so very proud of you, my dear. And you are going to be so glad you watched these videos in order. Get ready for light bulbs to go on like crazy. I love knowing that you're here.
Hi Dr Barbie I want to thank you so much for this series of video , they are for me so instructive and I must say they come at the right moment when I have lots and lots of questions on my head about this topic, greetings from Italy, Oana
You are so welcome, Oana. I'm so happy to be able to reach you wherever you are. My husband and I are moving to Florence, Italy when we leave Buenos Aires, Argentina, where we live this year. (We move to a different country each year and stay in each for one year.)
YOU ARE AWESOME.... I am 54 an have been lost since this menopause started as far as what i should do. My doctors are no help. I just wanted to thank you for what you are doing . reading some of the comments i see that i am not alone .I just wish i would have found you sooner an started my research earlier so i was better prepared. I am on episode 6 an will continue ....Thanks again
Karen, I feel honored to help you. If you watch these videos in order, I think you're going to be shocked at how easy it is to understand everything. We'll make up for the delay. I'll provide every menopause education service you need.
+Menopause Taylor Thank you..yes I with the first one, now on 15. yes I have learned a lot. btw love your personality n your hair. you have had me laughing so hard n I love it .thanks again

I remember my mother saying God had a sense of humor timing menopause and teenage years at the same time. It got a little crazy then and is a little crazy now for me and my daughter.
Was introduced to yo today by another member of Menopause Misery group on Facebook. So glad she posted your video. I have subscribed and am working my way through as you suggested. I am in a household ruled by hormones on opposite ends of the scale. So stressful! Thank you for making these videos so informative and fun x
Keep watching. You'll discover sooooo many things you didn't know. And you'll connect al the dots as you watch the videos in order. I respond to these comments daily, so I'll see your progress and be here for you.
No one prepared me for puberty. I came from a very conservative family (Japanese) and my mother didn't talk to me about my cycle and what I learned was from friends since in my day there were very few books available and none were in my library. This is why knowing all about menopause is so important for me. Thank you for the lessons. I am still watching them in order. :)
You are making the best investment in yourself and your future that you could possibly make, my dear. I am smiling from ear to ear right now, knowing that this education is going to, quite literally, save your life. Keep watching. You'll see what I mean.

Thank you. But I always say that I chose THE most unpopular and most neglected topic on earth, and then turned my RUclips channel into a classroom. On day ... maybe I'll wake up enough women to change the lives of women everywhere for the better.
loved loved loved video #6. Learned sooo much! the info, the props, your charisma, sense of humor, even your fashion style makes the learning process worthwhile...every minute of it. I'm so glad I found u Dr. Barbie!
+Menopause Barbie I wanted to be an Ob-gyn since I was a kid. Learned female reproductive system by heart. After over 35+years I truly learned what each part does. it makes so much sense! Have a Wonderful day
Hi Dr. Barbie, I have been catching up on your videos and am loving them,, They are so fun and informative. I'm not really sure, but I think I am postmenopausal I lost track of when my last period was because they were so crazy and I never know when I would have it. My problem now, is a looooooow sex drive, which is driving my poor husband crazy!!!!!! I'm sure you will address this problem in future videos. Thanks again for being all or our doctor... xoxoxo
Carolyn, I will definitely be addressing low sex drive, as well as vaginal dryness in future videos. They both affect your sex life. Those videos are a ways off, though. If you want to get a jump start on that information, it's all in my book. Vaginal dryness is chapter 22, and sex drive is chapter 25. The most recent video (which aired on August 23rd) is tutorial 12, which is only chapter 4.
Thank you. I love having male viewers. I think men need to know about menopause. And much of what I teach is about general health rather than menopause.
You ARE getting smarter with every video! And you are so smart to put yourself and your future first. I absolutely love doing this. Oh, and thank you for the rocking' arms comment. I've always thought of my arms as quite ape-like.
You are so very welcome, my dear. Welcome to "Menopause University." If you start with video # 1and watch them all in order, you will understand everything. If you watch randomly, you will sabotage your entire menopause education. And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I am so glad you're here getting the menopause education you deserve!
Thank you for doing these videos. I didn't think of menopause at my age almost 44 but going to my urologist brought it up with more current UTI'S. I thught was because of my spinal cord injury and it's not uncommon to get them. I looked up few things about menopause and found out hmm thwe "list" a some symptoms I was having so I have been researching more to know what I can do to help me and my family through this. I came across yor channel through Dominique's and I am learning more just up to this #6 video. I will continue them to learn more. And love how you talk and explain things. Loive your style too. Thanks again.
Welcome! I can assure you that if you watch my videos in order, you'll understand absolutely everything! I love knowing that you'll be empowered to make the rest of your life the best of your life.
This is not only informative , but your approach is so fun! Discovered through Dominique's page :) I have had hot flashes for 13 years. Not much relief and have tried 3 different methods. Hope to find a new option. Thank you Barbie!
Sarah, I'll address hot flashes thoroughly ... and give you all the options for managing them. That video isn't coming up soon. But you'll benefit by watching them all in order so that you're fully informed and ready for the hot flash video(s) when we get to them.
Glad I found your channel. I watched your interview with Dominique Sachse first. Really enjoy your series. The best way to manage the menopause is by being informed and doing your research. I just had my HRT adjusted after 18 months with the help of my GP and your information certainly helped. By the way I am 51 and loving it.
Love the vintage look!! Looks so classy ;) I'm enjoying your videos and just ordered your book. Hopefully, I can retain most of the material, lol!! Blessings!!
Yeah, I look like I belong in the 1800s. Everything I wear is vintage from the Victorian era. And you'll have no trouble retaining the information. We'll revisit much of it in various contexts. Not to worry.
Just happened on your channel after someone on Facebook recommended it. I did a search here and started watching. However, you suggested I ought to watch the number 1 of these series first. Fair enough but, I think it would help if there was some sort of order i.e. playlists created as there are so many videos I don't know how to find what I'm looking for 😁 Thanks
The number after each title tells you the order of the videos. And, if you prefer, you can go to my website, which is MenopauseTaylor.ME, click on the RUclips Video Tutorials tab, and find all the videos lined up in order. I'm so glad you're here, and Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video, you'll understand absolutely everything. And you'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that you now do know.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you so much for your reply. I managed to find the 1st one and I'm on lecture 4 now. I love the thought that has gone into the lectures and how you accommodate different learning styles! I'm listening with my Bluetooth headphones while I'm washing up in the kitchen with the phone mounted so I can still glance at your Fab props and outfits! I shared it in a menopause Facebook group as I think knowledge is power for us women! Thanks again!
@@mariafessara-embrey7586 It is so wonderful to know that you're getting the education you deserve AND that you're sharing it to help other women. Thank you for appreciating this. I absolutely love doing it for you.
You are so smart to watch these in order. You'll understand everything so easily. What a pleasure it is to know that you're learning about this hugely important (an long) part of your life.
You'll get tons of analogies and props from me. At my two-day seminar, I have 8 six-foot tables COVERED with props! It's a real show. But you laugh the whole time, and you never forget what you've learned.
I love your videos.....very interesting & informative. I'm 42, so far so good But I'm so glad that I found you because we think we know all but we don't. so thank you for sharing everything with us☺
Still NOT excited at all about peri menopause or menopause, but still atleast I will be way more informed, actually already know alot more than before so again I must THANK YOU FOR sharing your wisdom!!!
I never got the talk. I came from a very conservative family (orthodox Jewish father and "let her learn on her own, no one told me" mother) I thought I was dying, when I got my first period at 12. My mother was only concerned about me bleeding on the carpet (yes, we had carpet in our bathroom!) She then handed me a miniature mattress attached to a belt. She didn't even provide me with instructions on how to use this contraption. I didn't get any breasts, or have acne, but I ended up with "child-bearing hips". Fast forward to 47, my periods are fewer and further between, I am having hot flashes, night sweats and generally feeling yucky. At 51, my periods stopped entirely. YAY! No more surprise periods, or shopping for, or worrying about not having any pads handy! I am now 54. I am 5'8" tall and was (since high school) a very regular 145 lbs, because I am not petite. I now weigh 188lbs!! I have steadily gone from 145 to 152 to 163 to 172 and holding steady at 188. I have bigger breasts than I know what to do with. I've got now, what I should have had at 15 years old, when I was flat as a board! I call it "puberty 2.0, on steroids". I have belly fat, back fat, jiggly arms and "chub rub". I don't sleep at night. The "night" sweats have become all day and night sweats. For someone who used to wear sweaters on the hottest days in the summer, now I am keeping windows open in the winter and I am hot all the time. I remember seeing my mother going through menopause, (she is a miserable character, who, I always say, is in "perpetual menopause") making the rest of us freeze, because she was hot. Now I am doing the same thing, except for the fact that I live alone, so am not freezing anyone else out. My doctor says it is redistribution of fat, due to hormonal changes. She suggested Estrogen replacement. I am reluctant, so I look forward to watching your videos, to see what you say about it. Then I will decide. I can't live this way, any more. I have to do something.
You should schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I can help you with all these things, and tailor it all to YOU. I do them all online.
Barbie, I was wondering if your period just stops or are there other signs such as it starts to get lighter or shorter each time so you know the end is near?? I suppose it's different for all of us, but just was wondering if there were signs to know if the end is near. Found you through Dominique and am so glad I did!!
Brenda, There are many signs and symptoms of menopause ... 22 of them! I'll be giving you the entire list in Tutorial 11 and later I'll give at least one separate video on each. For the most part, your periods will get farther and farther apart over many months or a few years. Keep track. When you've gone for 12 CONSECUTIVE months with no period, by definition, you are post-menopausal. All the stuff you experience in the time your periods are spacing out is called peri-menopause. Be sure to watch Tutorials 10 and 11.
Maritza, I'm so glad we're staying connected with our similar interests. I knew you'd relate to this. I read your book right after meeting you and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm glad we can meet regularly on RUclips.
Me, too! Welcome to "Menopause University!" If you watch ally videos in order, starting with video 1, you will understand everything. And if you ever want me to tailor all the facts specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I've been in menopause all of my life!! Since mid to late 20's. My Doctor told me that one day my ovaries would wake up & say, hey! I'm supposed to be working! And they would just start working.
I'm in that camp of having 10.5 year old twin girls, where one is just about to start while the other shows no signs, all the while I have been noticing perimenopausal changes for myself over the last year. Fun times ahead! I not only need to prepare myself for all the changes, but my girls, hubby and their younger brother.
Sit the girls down and say, "Girls, you're about to start your reproductive lives ... and I'm about to end mine. Menopause is Puberty's evil older sister." Skip ahead and watch video 67 (How to Tell Your Kids About Menopause) for your kids' sake. You'll enjoy it.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you for highlighting a video that will be helpful for our family during our and my transition...perfect perfect! "Puberty's evil older sister" is the funniest analogy and so witty. I will always refer to this time with such humor.
Learned so much from this video! You cleared some mystery wonderings I have always had! I.e., what happens to all of those unused eggs?? I remember being told that we are born with about 40,000 eggs. Updating that info now to 1M! And now I know egg #s reduce via absorption ... ?!! Just thought they stayed stored in the ovaries indefinitely?! Thank you for the information! And yes, my home was one of those where our two teen girls were going through puberty at the same time I was going through menopause. I will have to ask my husband about that one now! He is a wonderful man who just wants us to be happy, bless him! Our girls are now 20 & 18. I'm 56.
Susan, Keep watching my videos in order, and you'll understand absolutely everything. And the more you learn, the more you realize how little you know. I respond to comments here on RUclips daily. So, I'll be able to help. (But I'll also know if you're not watching the videos in order. I'm like your mother, with eyes in the back of my head!)
@Menopause Taylor I would NEVER underestimate you!! LoL!!! Just finished tutorial #12. I have a goal to avg at least 3/day. Last two were completely new info to me ... I might re-watch again, but then again, for now, I don't really need to know it completely in & out, as I am definitely post-menopausal. I am loving these videos and though I did the college route and am blessed to have formal education, I didn't stop there and have always enjoyed being a life long learner. I LOVE that at increasing ages, I am still learning new things and there are always new things to learn! Well, here I am soaking this in and loving it all. I was a former high school science teacher (chemistry & physics) and find as I watch your videos, you are VERY GOOD at this!!! If I didn't know your story and having a video channel was new to you, I would think you had been doing this for YEARS!!! Your presentations are clear illustrations, and your explanations are so organized one might assume you are reading from a script, but I don't think you are! Appreciating all of this more with each video, and so thankful for you, Dr Taylor, for putting this together for all of us. Thank you for blessing us with your many talented gifts and knowledge! And eventually I will catch up and find out where in the world you are!! Haha!!😄
Well, first let me say that if you keep learning NEW things, you will prevent Alzheimer's. So, good for you! As for the teaching, I really don't have any experience at all. I am an obstetrician/gynecologist/and gynecologic surgeon. Of course, I've taught medical students and residents, but that was always using the typical medical lingo that we doctors use. And it was mostly pertaining to performing surgical procedures. I make sure I know what I'm going to say, but that's it. I'm so glad you can appreciate what I do. And you probably understand how I go through life finding new and fun ways to explain things. I love making these videos for you. Keep watching.
@Menopause Taylor Amazing, you have a natural talent for teaching. It is underestimated, and you find your zany ways to make it fun, capture your audience's attention, and explain in laymans' terms that make sense to someone with no understanding of the subject. Also the same as a good public speaker, same methods, all with organized delivery. And many trained teachers don't do it well even if it is their profession. The most genius people I have known take the most complicated things and make them easily simple in few minutes with no fanfare. That is what you do here in your videos with topics that have stumped not only females, but the general population ... forever! You make it all seem easy. You certainly are genius, and with a huge heart in your work. The more I watch, the more I appreciate you and cannot thank you enough. My humble thanks is a small gesture in exchange for this trove of gifts from you. I have a long way to go in your videos, so I will probably be unable to help myself and must say it again at some point. Please pardon me! I know you have many many other viewers! Hope you are having a lovely day where you are. We are celebrating our daughter's 20 birthday today. She is preparing to leave at the end of the month to work with Ballet of the National Theatre in Belgrade. My husband and I have been reminiscing in her birth story today. You obstetricians are a part of these special stories, and you have had starring roles in thousands!💖
Your compliments are very touching, Susan. I love knowing that my videos are helping women everywhere. And your words about your daughter are precious. I am very close to some of the many babies I've delivered. I was "Ob/Gyn of Honor" at one of their weddings! They know it's unusual to have the doctor that delivered them as a close family friend.
Menopause Taylor (aka Barbie), I just ordered your book. I left a pretty long comment on one of your videos earlier. I figured it would be the best to order your book, I have OB appt 4/10/17 I just hope the book arrives before my appt so I am prepared with my questions & know that the correct test or tests are ran. I need sleep desperately (night sweats are big problem) feel like I only get a couple of hrs a night, then when I have 2 wake to go 2 work I'm so exhausted, irritated. Been this way for almost a year. I'm so happy I found your channel thanks to Angie Hot & Flashey! You have actually got me a excited that now I feel I will have more knowledge & food choices (sorry I didn't purposely cheat the order) that was just my 1st video. You are an AMAZING ANGEL!
Oh, Jerrie, I feel for you, and I also know I can help you. I answered your question on the other video, and will always answer any question you pose. The book will enable you to read ahead and will compliment the videos.
That's hilarious... I was not at all prepared for my first period and it scarred me to the point that I went on depo shot for a life time. Funny enough, now peri/menopause hit me the same way, tho I qualify as menapausal since I was in my 20s😂😂😂
@@MenopauseTaylor most definitely. I was explaining this to my hubby on the way home and he totally agreed that it makes you remember 😊👍😁 thanku so much you are a total godsend 😁
There are many ways to preserve your collagen. Chapter 19 of my book will give you a whole host of options. And I cover it all in my seminar. And, if you prefer, I can do a one-on-one consultation with you (in person, on Skype, on FaceTime, on Facebook Messenger). I'll show you all sorts of samples and pro[s that help you. MenopauseTaylor.ME is where you schedule one.
Dear Barbie, thank u so much for your videos!!! They are fantastic!!!! My name is Lydia, I live in Greece, I'm 50 years old and had my last period 4 months ago. Just started with bioidentical hormone replacement. What do you think of them???? Also, as I've been exercising with weights since I was 20 years old what do you think I should change in my routine in order for me not to lose what I have accomplished????? Last question as YOU look fantastic..... How can I keep my skin in top shape???? I've got so many questions..... Thank u so much!!!!!
I love questions, Lydia. Bioidenticals are fine. All that matters is what works for you. One of the biggest lessons I teach you is that no one's opinion matters but your own. I'll be giving you tutorials on all the different categories of hormones, including bioidenticals. If you're happy on them, don't dissect a rose. Just keep on using them. I think you should change your workout "routine" periodically. Or just add new things every now and then. Your body has memory. If you do the same things, it becomes efficient at going through the motions without much effort. But if you shock your body every now and then with new things, it will respond with increased effort ... and you'll see that as a change in your physique. The weights are great. But maybe you can do them differently, or add balance or flexibility exercise to your routine. I'll be showing you a lot of great exercises throughout the series. As for your skin, protect it from the sun. I wear a hat every day, no matter what. Drink loads of water, and keep your skin moisturized. I'll be giving you dedicated tutorials on skin care.
I'm well aware of what is happening, I feel bad for my husband. Most of all no one to relate to, no one with a life line. Constantly trying to just hold it together. Totally anti drug, but this may necessitate the use of HRT...not sure. oh la la, je suis trés confus
Please don't stay confused ... or miserable. Schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME and I will help you assess your best options for managing YOUR menopause YOUR way.
Watching randomly will sabotage your menopause education because you will try to connect all your misinformation with the facts. They all have a number. If you want to watch in order the easy way, you can do so by going to MenopauseTaylor.ME, where they are all lined u in order. You don't know what you don't know ... which means you don't know what you need.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you so much Dr Taylor! Yes you are right watching them in order is best. I figured out how you described and started watching them in order. I am on number 5. 😊🙏
I used to think menopause meant we pause to become men. LOL But I never craved carbs. I craved salt like crazy! I never had acne either. My puberty was super easy in every way except my periods! I hate even their memory! I had breast cancer and after all those surgeries I lost my estrogen. I am glad this resource is available because all I eve heard about menopause was hot flashes. I never had a hot flash and women in Japan do not get hot flashes. Its easy as far as that goes it is diet. But one of my Chinese herbalists said I was degenerating and that was 2002. I have bene in menopause for 4 years and it has only recently (since 2016) gotten really bad and I am gawd I have this as a resource!
I am thrilled to be here to help you. Every woman deserves this education. If only they would all take the time to get it. I applaud you for being so proactive.
I already lived in candy, In Whistler, B.C. I loved it. I will not live there again, though, because I have severe arthritis and it's just too cold for me. I am no longer moving from country to country. And I never travel with my seminar. It's tooooooo big (eight six-foot tables of props and models).
This was very interesting considering I had to be put on HRT to make me go into puberty since I was diagnosed with Double XX Familial Dysgenisis. It was very hard because when all my friends were going through puberty I still looked like a little girl and the boys teased me so bad because I had no chest 😩. We can be cruel as kids.
Barbie, I was one of those people who had no idea about periods before it happened. My sister, who was 1 1/2 years older, had not started so apparently my Mom did not think I needed to know. I woke up one morning, bleeding. I told my Grandmother, who lived with us, and she was a bit mortified. She did not want to tell me because she thought it was my Mother's place to do it. So she assured me I was okay, sent me to school with an adult-size pad and belt on (old school), and promised that Mom would explain when I got home. Amazing!
Linda, You are not alone. And I hope you realize that your terrible experience will not play itself out again with your menopause ... not as long as I'm around. I'm so glad you're watching these. If I can make a difference in even one woman's life, I'll feel that it's the most important thing I can do with what I know. I really appreciate your comment. And I'm sure a lot of my viewers feel the same way I do.
Im 41.5 years old.i have all the symptoms of perimenapause. Only thing is I magically lost weight rather than gained. I do have a pituitary adenoma that produces excess prolactin though.
Have a check-up with your endocrinologist who manages your pituitary adenoma. Then you can consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME to address your peri-menopause if you wish. I will tailor all your options specifically to YOU.
@@MenopauseTaylor I've been to 2 endocrinologist and they tried me on Cabergoline for a while but I dont take it anymore. They thought it was a tumor and turns out to be a cyst now they believe so the meds helped lower prolactin but that's about it. It hasn't gotten bigger but it wasn't shrinking either. I guess I should check up with them again to see if there are any changes. My hair is falling out around the crown bad and I'm getting cystic acne on my jawline. Periods are very heavy and every 3 weeks now. I started having a SLEW of symptoms about 2.5 years ago out of nowhere. They have never been able to figure out what the hell is wrong. Iron deficiency showed up though which I had infusions for. 😕
6:24 I started my period at 9 years old and then the puberty started a little after.. could this be because I was sexually abused and that brought on the period first before puberty started?
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.
B: Agh!! I know NOTHING!!! I've been on Depo on and off (currently on) for the past couple decades, does that mean my eggs are on meno-pause or are they gone? P.S. I am thanking you on behalf of my family for telling me this so that I can be WAY more aware of my behavior when the time comes *hug*
Oh, I am so sorry for this tardy reply. The RUclips comments on my end are supposed to line up all the new ones so that I don’t have to search for them one-video-at-a-time. And most of the time, it works. But occasionally (as in this case), a comment doesn’t appear in the line-up. I apologize profusely for the delay. Depo Provera has nothing to do with your eggs. Depo-Porvera is progesterone. It's a form of birth control. It will probably be good throughout PERI-menopause because peri-menopause is entirely due to low progesterone. But eventually, you'll become POST-menoapusal, at which time the problem is ESTROGEN DEFICIENCY. For that, progesterone will make things worse. That's when you'll need estrogen to make things better.
You are so right! But my goal is to make it as good as possible for you and your family. Remember, you'll be a menopausal woman for the rest of your life and, together, we're going to make that the best of your life.
But it does not have to remain so. You will be a menopausal woman for the rest of your life. So, get this eduction or schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME so that you can discover all your options to make the rest of your life the best of your life.
In my seminars, I give prizes for correct answers ... all sorts of fun things. My seminar is this weekend. Sorry you won't be there. You'd probably win a bunch of stuff.
coolio I was just kidding! I learned doing tons of research since most doctors seem clueless. My GYN is willing to help so not him but everyone else! Some of them are word famous doctors too!

Best video on women's issues I have ever seen. God bless
Wow! What a nice compliment. Thank you so very much.
I wish all doctors were like you. You're a breath of fresh air...
Oh thank you, Kat. I really strive to give you what you deserve. You deserve to know everything and to have the opportunity to tailor all information to your own needs and desires. My goal is to make that possible and available for all women.
Dr. Taylor, Your informative videos are very much appreciated!!! So glad that I found your RUclips channel... God Bless!!!
OMG! Where do i start?! I distinctly remember my mom suffering N/V/migraines in her 40s. She was hospitalized at one point and given phenergan; however, those were her menopausal (or maybe peri-menopausal?) symptoms. I am now in my 40s and she tells me now to just "deal" with my own symptoms and I jogged her memory about her own experience .....she has forgotten how traumatic it was for all of us! Why are we women just "band-aiding" this phase?! Thanks Dr. Taylor! :)
Just started with the migraines here. Wish I’d started hormones a bit earlier but better late then never I suppose
I just said I have NO IDEA ABOUT MENOPAUSE and HOW COME NO ONE TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ?????? So very grateful I found you and can learn all about it. I will also have my daughter learn as well. Cant thank you enough. What a struggle it has been for months now that I’m in it!!!!!
Thank you for what you do! I can say I know somethings about menopause but not at the extent you know it. I just turn fifty and haven’t think a lot about menopause issues. I was thinking only that it was going to be such a relief to get rid of the periods… I hated when I had my first (13 yo) and have hated every single period my entire life. Ugh! I’m buying your book. I’ll watch your videos. I want to learn. Thank you again. Much love.
You are so very welcome, my dear.
Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. And you'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that you now do know.
Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know.
I respond to all comments here on RUclips daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!)
And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time. I do them all online.
The story about the husband and wife was hilarious 😂. I just began my HRT journey yesterday, and can thank you tremendously, because even only having watched the first 20 videos approx, I had enough tools and understandings to convince my Dr to get me started, asap, first visit. I’m coming back to review some stuff and will definitely be following your process, to continue to learn more, and more, and more. Thank you, Dr Taylor ✨🥳✨
I just found your channel and am wondering why you're not at 1 million subscribers yet? Great info - thanks for sharing your knowledge!
What a sweetheart. Here's why I don't have millions of subscribers: Menopause is THE most neglected (and most unpopular) topic on Planet Earth ... even though 50% of the world's population spend 50% of their lives in the state of menopause.
So I took the most unpopular subject on earth and made my RUclips channel into a classroom with it!
But I hope that I eventually wake up enough women to have a menopause revolution so that all women get the education they deserve.
Hello BEAUTIFUL Taylor🙏. You r a GOD sent. THANK YOU for ALL that you contribute in TEACHING and EDUCATING US WOMEN about OUR GOD GIVEN BODIES!!!!! I’m glad I was informed about you through the LOVELY (hot n flashy ) on RUclips ! God bless
You are so very kind. Thank you, my dear. And welcome to "Menopause University."
If you start with video 1 and watch all my videos in order you will understand everything. But if you watch them randomly, you will sabotage your menopause education completely.
And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
You are so amazing! I am 50 and in perimenoapuse (I think) , I pride myself on being knowledgeable about medical matters, but ... I don’t know the first thing about menopause, and it seems that none of my friends do, either, and haven’t yet consulted with my doctor yet (and I can’t expect her to be my “teacher” in any event). so very thankful I found your channel!
Terri,
Before you go to your doctor, consider scheduling a one-on-one consultation with me. I'll make sure you know everything you need to know in order to make your time with your doctor productive. (Doctor's visits are only about 10 - 15 minutes, you know!)
Doctors are not teachers. And they are terrible at teaching lay persons. All I do is educate, and I do so in a way that works for YOU.
I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works:
1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone.
2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date.
3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages.
4) I will send you the document by email 48 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth.
5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want in order to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed.
6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use.
7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options.
The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request.
So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively).
I hope to meet you soon!
As one would feel getting stuck in a revolving door... I was as confused going in, as I was going out! My mother didn't prepare me when I was young. My 1st period happened at the beach & I was scared to death thinking that I was hemorrhaging! I didn't know much about menopause when I started at around 45 yrs old. Times have changed & I prepared all of my children. I even had a talk with my son to help him "survive" living with his 2 sisters & myself. I'm sure this helped him understand his wife more also. More conversations need to be had! I'm loving your channel! ~Susanne
Susanne,
I love you! Everything you've written is so classic. You're going about this with the right attitude and the perfect response. Keep speaking up. And let's get everyone else to open up, too.
I’m a 43 year old woman who has been suffering through peri menopause for about two years now and just found you like an angel straight from heaven!! Thank you for all that you do and just for the person you are!!! You’re amazing and uplifting!! A million thanks!!

Next video, please!
Thank you!! I am 53, went thru menopause @ 46 & knew NOTHING about what was going on!! Thank you!! Still really don't know what is going on!!
Oh, you will. Don't worry. Keep watching. A new video will air ever Tuesday.
I am so enjoying your videos , just wish my Dr didn’t tell me I should come off HRT ,
Im 71, and was quite happy and fit ,
Not so since coming off HRT , hair loss, pain in joints , , depression, 👍😘
Your menopause educational videos are beyond brilliant!!! I consider myself as a quite naive on that extremely important subject until now. For I believed that menopause is something similar to taking an exam or just a passage in time ...! You prepare for it, then you pass it and leave it behind you. Thanks to the recent interview on the fantastic Dominique Sachse RUclips channel I have discovered your amazing person 🤗. You are an unique juwel dear & wonderful Dr. Barbie Taylor 💎💎💎 ...❣❣❣ And I couldn't have been happier about the fact, that I feel immensely blessed to regard myself as one of your students in your pretty special & one of a kind open university for menopause ❣ Much love Sylvia from Hamburg/Germany
P.S.
I do admire your dressing style. It's utterly romantic & remainds me of la belle époque 🏰...!!!
Sylvia,
Welcome to "Menopause University"!
If you watch all my videos in order, starting with the very first one, you will understand everything.
If you watch them randomly, you will sabotage your entire menopause education.
And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I'm so glad you're here!
I've told my 16 yo daughter that "it's similar to Puberty, except you don't look as good at the end!" :-P (BTW, I so luv all your pearls!)
That's really funny! I'm sure she rolled her eyes. A girl can never have enough pearls!
Where have you been all my life,,,.? Wow,,, you’re an ANGEL,,, I’m on #7,, just gets better;; God Bless You 💓🙏🏼🌹
Ahh, this makes me feel so good! I love doing this for you. Just keep watching my videos in order, and you will definitely understand everything.
I believe I started perimenopause about the age of 40. I just turned 50, and from 40 until my last period, which was 2 years ago were so rough that I turned to alcohol to deal with the depression, anxiety, insomnia etc... I suddenly felt as though I couldn't cope with life. I eventually stopped drinking with the help of a wonderful therapist. But I wish I would have been better mentally prepared for perimenopause Thank you Dr Taylor for giving women these videos so full of information. .
Sarah,
Your story is not uncommon. How I wish I had been there for you 10 years ago.
I'm so proud of you for getting help and managing your symptoms. I'm here to help you with every aspect of menopause. Be sure to keep up on this education. There are so many important things about which most women know nothing. For instance: Menopause really isn't about t hot flashes. It's about heart attacks, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's Disease. I'll be teaching you everything you need to know to prevent these things.
Fantastic I just came over from Dominique's channel to yours and what a breath of fresh air it is.. I am distracted by you because you reminded me of someone and then I thought of it, you are so like Sarah Jessica Parker. I mean this as a compliment as you are so beautiful. I wonder has anyone said this to you before. Thank you so much for your channel it is so good x
Lorraine,
Yes, a few people have told me that I remind them of Sarah Jessica Parker. Apparently, it's my manner more than my appearance. Or maybe it's her semi-curly hair and my ultra-curly hair. Thank you for the compliment.
Thanks for the answer I can only imagine how busy you are. Love the channel Hugs from Ireland x
your manner! definitely
Barbie, I enjoy your videos. Your sweet personality with your info is wonderful. I have been on menapause for as lost 4 years. I don't think of it as an illness instead an adjustment. Good health is my biggest priority.
Nancy, I don't know how I missed this comment, but want to respond even though it's quite late. I admire your attitude. I think you're going to do great no matter what. Kudos to you.
Thank you so very much....I'm enjoying these videos, immensely & I appreciate the fact that an MD is the instructor:) Cheers!
Excellent, Rhonda. I'll publish a new video every Tuesday. I'll teach you everything.
OMG! - After every video I love you more!! THANK YOU! You would think that with all the older sisters I have someone would have sat me down and talked about this. Now I realize why they didn't/couldn't.
Oh Melissa,
It's so sad that most women haven't gotten any guidance or information at all. So the cluelessness is pervasive. I'll remedy that ... for you and and many other women as I possibly can.
What a godsend she is!👏🏽👏🏽
You are so kine, Sue. Just watch all my videos in order, and you will get the menopause education you deserve.
Thank you for your insight and knowledge. Many years ago my mother was going through menopause after a hysterectomy with no hormone therapy and I was going through puberty at the same time. Unfortunately I don't think our relationship was ever quite recovered. I wish she had had resources like this. Now I am 49 and I know it will happen to me very soon. My mother died of breast cancer so I have some tough choices to make regarding hormones ahead.
Of course, I'll be teaching you everything about breast cancer as it relates to menopause ... but that video is a looong way off. We need to cover all the "normal" stuff first. But don't worry. You have time and so do I. And I'll spend mine educating you.
Discovered you about a month ago. Finally taking your advice and starting from the beginning instead of jumping around to my particular issue. Thanks for taking your time to make this so interesting. 73 years old and still learning- #its all about me. Telling all my friends about you
I am so very proud of you, my dear. And you are going to be so glad you watched these videos in order. Get ready for light bulbs to go on like crazy.
I love knowing that you're here.
Hi Dr Barbie I want to thank you so much for this series of video , they are for me so instructive and I must say they come at the right moment when I have lots and lots of questions on my head about this topic, greetings from Italy, Oana
You are so welcome, Oana. I'm so happy to be able to reach you wherever you are. My husband and I are moving to Florence, Italy when we leave Buenos Aires, Argentina, where we live this year. (We move to a different country each year and stay in each for one year.)
What a wonderful experience for the spirit to live one year in a different country. I'm from Bologna , which is non very distant from Florece, Oana
So much truth! Love the part about the couple she met! You are a godsend Barbie. Definitely trying to get through videos quickly! ❤️🙏🏼
Keep watching in order, my dear. You're going to have one "aha" moment after another.
YOU ARE AWESOME.... I am 54 an have been lost since this menopause started as far as what i should do. My doctors are no help. I just wanted to thank you for what you are doing . reading some of the comments i see that i am not alone .I just wish i would have found you sooner an started my research earlier so i was better prepared. I am on episode 6 an will continue ....Thanks again
Karen,
I feel honored to help you. If you watch these videos in order, I think you're going to be shocked at how easy it is to understand everything. We'll make up for the delay. I'll provide every menopause education service you need.

I remember my mother saying God had a sense of humor timing menopause and teenage years at the same time. It got a little crazy then and is a little crazy now for me and my daughter.
Exactly!~ Your mother was so right. I always feel for those who have both puberty and menopause in their household at the same time.
Was introduced to yo today by another member of Menopause Misery group on Facebook. So glad she posted your video. I have subscribed and am working my way through as you suggested.
I am in a household ruled by hormones on opposite ends of the scale. So stressful!
Thank you for making these videos so informative and fun x
Keep watching. You'll discover sooooo many things you didn't know. And you'll connect al the dots as you watch the videos in order. I respond to these comments daily, so I'll see your progress and be here for you.
No one prepared me for puberty. I came from a very conservative family (Japanese) and my mother didn't talk to me about my cycle and what I learned was from friends since in my day there were very few books available and none were in my library. This is why knowing all about menopause is so important for me. Thank you for the lessons. I am still watching them in order. :)
You are making the best investment in yourself and your future that you could possibly make, my dear. I am smiling from ear to ear right now, knowing that this education is going to, quite literally, save your life. Keep watching. You'll see what I mean.
omg. so well explained. the best way i heard. thanks for making the time to share.
It's a delight. I'm so glad my videos are helping you.
Awesdome video! I just found you and subscribed I had a surgical menopause at 41
Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. And you'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that you now do know.
Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know.
I respond to all comments here on RUclips daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!)

Your premature menopause is a BIG deal. Please, please schedule a consultation with me so that I can ensure that you get the education you need and deserve to prevent the many pitfalls that are a consequence of it. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
So grateful to have started to watch this series! Great stuff! So needed by society.
I'm so glad you're taking advantage of it. It's what you deserve.
You deserve millions subscriber's
Thank you. But I always say that I chose THE most unpopular and most neglected topic on earth, and then turned my RUclips channel into a classroom. On day ... maybe I'll wake up enough women to change the lives of women everywhere for the better.
loved loved loved video #6. Learned sooo much! the info, the props, your charisma, sense of humor, even your fashion style makes the learning process worthwhile...every minute of it. I'm so glad I found u Dr. Barbie!
I'm glad you found me, too. I like spending time teaching you.
+Menopause Barbie I wanted to be an Ob-gyn since I was a kid. Learned female reproductive system by heart. After over 35+years I truly learned what each part does. it makes so much sense! Have a Wonderful day
Hi Dr. Barbie, I have been catching up on your videos and am loving them,, They are so fun and informative. I'm not really sure, but I think I am postmenopausal I lost track of when my last period was because they were so crazy and I never know when I would have it. My problem now, is a looooooow sex drive, which is driving my poor husband crazy!!!!!! I'm sure you will address this problem in future videos. Thanks again for being all or our doctor... xoxoxo
Carolyn, I will definitely be addressing low sex drive, as well as vaginal dryness in future videos. They both affect your sex life. Those videos are a ways off, though. If you want to get a jump start on that information, it's all in my book. Vaginal dryness is chapter 22, and sex drive is chapter 25. The most recent video (which aired on August 23rd) is tutorial 12, which is only chapter 4.
Thank you so much for replying to my comment!!!
Continued awesomeness....... :-)
Great video❤🤍💙
Thank you, my dear.
I love videos, you are w genius , I am a man but I love watching your informative videos . Thanks to exist .
Thank you. I love having male viewers. I think men need to know about menopause. And much of what I teach is about general health rather than menopause.
Dr. Barbie I feel like I'm getting smarter with every video. Your style and beauty is a breath of fresh air. By the way you have some rockin arms.
You ARE getting smarter with every video! And you are so smart to put yourself and your future first. I absolutely love doing this. Oh, and thank you for the rocking' arms comment. I've always thought of my arms as quite ape-like.
Menopause Taylor you are too hard on yourself! You have always been beautiful!
Absolutely great! I just found this RUclips channel. Love it! Thank you so much!!!
You are so very welcome, my dear.
Welcome to "Menopause University."
If you start with video # 1and watch them all in order, you will understand everything.
If you watch randomly, you will sabotage your entire menopause education.
And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I am so glad you're here getting the menopause education you deserve!
Thank you for doing these videos. I didn't think of menopause at my age almost 44 but going to my urologist brought it up with more current UTI'S. I thught was because of my spinal cord injury and it's not uncommon to get them. I looked up few things about menopause and found out hmm thwe "list" a some symptoms I was having so I have been researching more to know what I can do to help me and my family through this. I came across yor channel through Dominique's and I am learning more just up to this #6 video. I will continue them to learn more. And love how you talk and explain things. Loive your style too. Thanks again.
Welcome!
I can assure you that if you watch my videos in order, you'll understand absolutely everything! I love knowing that you'll be empowered to make the rest of your life the best of your life.
Wow had my first UTIs at age 45, it was severe had no idea what was going on (along with many other symptoms, more recent RHE horrible migraines )
This is not only informative , but your approach is so fun! Discovered through Dominique's page :) I have had hot flashes for 13 years. Not much relief and have tried 3 different methods. Hope to find a new option. Thank you Barbie!
Sarah,
I'll address hot flashes thoroughly ... and give you all the options for managing them. That video isn't coming up soon. But you'll benefit by watching them all in order so that you're fully informed and ready for the hot flash video(s) when we get to them.
That is okay~ I have waited 13 years to get better advice! I enjoy your personality and approach and look forward to whatever I can learn next :)
Glad I found your channel. I watched your interview with Dominique Sachse first. Really enjoy your series. The best way to manage the menopause is by being informed and doing your research. I just had my HRT adjusted after 18 months with the help of my GP and your information certainly helped. By the way I am 51 and loving it.
I love that you're loving your menopause. That's the way it should be. Let's work on making your attitude contagious.
Love the vintage look!! Looks so classy ;) I'm enjoying your videos and just ordered your book. Hopefully, I can retain most of the material, lol!!
Blessings!!
Yeah, I look like I belong in the 1800s. Everything I wear is vintage from the Victorian era.
And you'll have no trouble retaining the information. We'll revisit much of it in various contexts. Not to worry.
Thank you!
Just happened on your channel after someone on Facebook recommended it. I did a search here and started watching. However, you suggested I ought to watch the number 1 of these series first. Fair enough but, I think it would help if there was some sort of order i.e. playlists created as there are so many videos I don't know how to find what I'm looking for 😁
Thanks
The number after each title tells you the order of the videos.
And, if you prefer, you can go to my website, which is MenopauseTaylor.ME, click on the RUclips Video Tutorials tab, and find all the videos lined up in order.
I'm so glad you're here, and Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video, you'll understand absolutely everything. And you'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that you now do know.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you so much for your reply. I managed to find the 1st one and I'm on lecture 4 now. I love the thought that has gone into the lectures and how you accommodate different learning styles! I'm listening with my Bluetooth headphones while I'm washing up in the kitchen with the phone mounted so I can still glance at your Fab props and outfits!
I shared it in a menopause Facebook group as I think knowledge is power for us women!
Thanks again!
@@mariafessara-embrey7586 It is so wonderful to know that you're getting the education you deserve AND that you're sharing it to help other women. Thank you for appreciating this. I absolutely love doing it for you.
Binge watching and found I have already learned so much. On to the next!
You are so smart to watch these in order. You'll understand everything so easily. What a pleasure it is to know that you're learning about this hugely important (an long) part of your life.
I love your analogies and props in this video!
You'll get tons of analogies and props from me.
At my two-day seminar, I have 8 six-foot tables COVERED with props! It's a real show. But you laugh the whole time, and you never forget what you've learned.
My daughter had a puberty video at school with a song "you are the corner." I told her we are at the same corner but headed in different directions.
That's so true. You'll see later (in watching my videos in order) that I published a video entitled "How to Tell Your Kids About Menopause."
I love your videos.....very interesting & informative.
I'm 42, so far so good But I'm so glad that I found you because we think we know all but we don't. so thank you for sharing everything with us☺
You'll be in great shape when you become menopausal! I applaud you for preparing yourself in advance.
Im so glad I found your channel!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! I have learned more about menopause and I only on #6!
Fantastic! Just think how much you'll know by watching the whole series. It will cover everything you could possibly want to know about menopause.
Thank you for all this value information!
It's an absolute honor to be able to help.
I've always said that menopause is puberty in reverse! Interesting! Great information...
Still NOT excited at all about peri menopause or menopause, but still atleast I will be way more informed, actually already know alot more than before so again I must THANK YOU FOR sharing your wisdom!!!
You make me so happy to know that I'm serving your needs, Jerrie. Stay tuned.
Menopause Taylor I will definitely stayed tuned!
I never got the talk. I came from a very conservative family (orthodox Jewish father and "let her learn on her own, no one told me" mother) I thought I was dying, when I got my first period at 12. My mother was only concerned about me bleeding on the carpet (yes, we had carpet in our bathroom!) She then handed me a miniature mattress attached to a belt. She didn't even provide me with instructions on how to use this contraption. I didn't get any breasts, or have acne, but I ended up with "child-bearing hips". Fast forward to 47, my periods are fewer and further between, I am having hot flashes, night sweats and generally feeling yucky. At 51, my periods stopped entirely. YAY! No more surprise periods, or shopping for, or worrying about not having any pads handy! I am now 54. I am 5'8" tall and was (since high school) a very regular 145 lbs, because I am not petite. I now weigh 188lbs!! I have steadily gone from 145 to 152 to 163 to 172 and holding steady at 188. I have bigger breasts than I know what to do with. I've got now, what I should have had at 15 years old, when I was flat as a board! I call it "puberty 2.0, on steroids". I have belly fat, back fat, jiggly arms and "chub rub". I don't sleep at night. The "night" sweats have become all day and night sweats. For someone who used to wear sweaters on the hottest days in the summer, now I am keeping windows open in the winter and I am hot all the time. I remember seeing my mother going through menopause, (she is a miserable character, who, I always say, is in "perpetual menopause") making the rest of us freeze, because she was hot. Now I am doing the same thing, except for the fact that I live alone, so am not freezing anyone else out. My doctor says it is redistribution of fat, due to hormonal changes. She suggested Estrogen replacement. I am reluctant, so I look forward to watching your videos, to see what you say about it. Then I will decide. I can't live this way, any more. I have to do something.
You should schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I can help you with all these things, and tailor it all to YOU. I do them all online.
Barbie, I was wondering if your period just stops or are there other signs such as it starts to get lighter or shorter each time so you know the end is near?? I suppose it's different for all of us, but just was wondering if there were signs to know if the end is near. Found you through Dominique and am so glad I did!!
Brenda,
There are many signs and symptoms of menopause ... 22 of them! I'll be giving you the entire list in Tutorial 11 and later I'll give at least one separate video on each.
For the most part, your periods will get farther and farther apart over many months or a few years. Keep track. When you've gone for 12 CONSECUTIVE months with no period, by definition, you are post-menopausal.
All the stuff you experience in the time your periods are spacing out is called peri-menopause.
Be sure to watch Tutorials 10 and 11.
Brenda Grant - mine became longer and heavier for about 10 years, lucky me! 🤪
Thank you for educating me
You're so very welcome, Kimberly!
Thank you Dr. Barbie.
You're so welcome!
You are simply wonderful! Thank you.
Maritza,
I'm so glad we're staying connected with our similar interests. I knew you'd relate to this. I read your book right after meeting you and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm glad we can meet regularly on RUclips.
I just freaking love you you are like a breath of fresh air , thank you thank you thank you💖💖💖💖💖💖
I love your too, Rosalie. Sorry for this tardy response.
Thank you my dear!
So glad i found you ❤
Me, too!
Welcome to "Menopause University!" If you watch ally videos in order, starting with video 1, you will understand everything. And if you ever want me to tailor all the facts specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I've been in menopause all of my life!! Since mid to late 20's. My Doctor told me that one day my ovaries would wake up & say, hey! I'm supposed to be working! And they would just start working.
Well, they may or may not "wake up." It sounds like you need an evaluation.
I'm in that camp of having 10.5 year old twin girls, where one is just about to start while the other shows no signs, all the while I have been noticing perimenopausal changes for myself over the last year. Fun times ahead! I not only need to prepare myself for all the changes, but my girls, hubby and their younger brother.
Sit the girls down and say, "Girls, you're about to start your reproductive lives ... and I'm about to end mine. Menopause is Puberty's evil older sister."
Skip ahead and watch video 67 (How to Tell Your Kids About Menopause) for your kids' sake. You'll enjoy it.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you for highlighting a video that will be helpful for our family during our and my transition...perfect perfect! "Puberty's evil older sister" is the funniest analogy and so witty. I will always refer to this time with such humor.
Wait until you see video 67. You're going to laugh a lot.
Learned so much from this video! You cleared some mystery wonderings I have always had! I.e., what happens to all of those unused eggs?? I remember being told that we are born with about 40,000 eggs. Updating that info now to 1M! And now I know egg #s reduce via absorption ... ?!! Just thought they stayed stored in the ovaries indefinitely?! Thank you for the information!
And yes, my home was one of those where our two teen girls were going through puberty at the same time I was going through menopause. I will have to ask my husband about that one now! He is a wonderful man who just wants us to be happy, bless him! Our girls are now 20 & 18. I'm 56.
Susan,
Keep watching my videos in order, and you'll understand absolutely everything. And the more you learn, the more you realize how little you know.
I respond to comments here on RUclips daily. So, I'll be able to help. (But I'll also know if you're not watching the videos in order. I'm like your mother, with eyes in the back of my head!)
@Menopause Taylor I would NEVER underestimate you!! LoL!!! Just finished tutorial #12. I have a goal to avg at least 3/day. Last two were completely new info to me ... I might re-watch again, but then again, for now, I don't really need to know it completely in & out, as I am definitely post-menopausal.
I am loving these videos and though I did the college route and am blessed to have formal education, I didn't stop there and have always enjoyed being a life long learner. I LOVE that at increasing ages, I am still learning new things and there are always new things to learn! Well, here I am soaking this in and loving it all.
I was a former high school science teacher (chemistry & physics) and find as I watch your videos, you are VERY GOOD at this!!! If I didn't know your story and having a video channel was new to you, I would think you had been doing this for YEARS!!! Your presentations are clear illustrations, and your explanations are so organized one might assume you are reading from a script, but I don't think you are!
Appreciating all of this more with each video, and so thankful for you, Dr Taylor, for putting this together for all of us. Thank you for blessing us with your many talented gifts and knowledge!
And eventually I will catch up and find out where in the world you are!! Haha!!😄
Well, first let me say that if you keep learning NEW things, you will prevent Alzheimer's. So, good for you!
As for the teaching, I really don't have any experience at all. I am an obstetrician/gynecologist/and gynecologic surgeon. Of course, I've taught medical students and residents, but that was always using the typical medical lingo that we doctors use. And it was mostly pertaining to performing surgical procedures.
I make sure I know what I'm going to say, but that's it. I'm so glad you can appreciate what I do. And you probably understand how I go through life finding new and fun ways to explain things.
I love making these videos for you. Keep watching.
@Menopause Taylor Amazing, you have a natural talent for teaching. It is underestimated, and you find your zany ways to make it fun, capture your audience's attention, and explain in laymans' terms that make sense to someone with no understanding of the subject. Also the same as a good public speaker, same methods, all with organized delivery. And many trained teachers don't do it well even if it is their profession. The most genius people I have known take the most complicated things and make them easily simple in few minutes with no fanfare. That is what you do here in your videos with topics that have stumped not only females, but the general population ... forever! You make it all seem easy. You certainly are genius, and with a huge heart in your work. The more I watch, the more I appreciate you and cannot thank you enough. My humble thanks is a small gesture in exchange for this trove of gifts from you.
I have a long way to go in your videos, so I will probably be unable to help myself and must say it again at some point. Please pardon me! I know you have many many other viewers!
Hope you are having a lovely day where you are. We are celebrating our daughter's 20 birthday today. She is preparing to leave at the end of the month to work with Ballet of the National Theatre in Belgrade. My husband and I have been reminiscing in her birth story today. You obstetricians are a part of these special stories, and you have had starring roles in thousands!💖
Your compliments are very touching, Susan. I love knowing that my videos are helping women everywhere.
And your words about your daughter are precious. I am very close to some of the many babies I've delivered. I was "Ob/Gyn of Honor" at one of their weddings! They know it's unusual to have the doctor that delivered them as a close family friend.
great video:) tx!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, my dear.
Menopause Taylor (aka Barbie), I just ordered your book. I left a pretty long comment on one of your videos earlier. I figured it would be the best to order your book, I have OB appt 4/10/17 I just hope the book arrives before my appt so I am prepared with my questions & know that the correct test or tests are ran. I need sleep desperately (night sweats are big problem) feel like I only get a couple of hrs a night, then when I have 2 wake to go 2 work I'm so exhausted, irritated. Been this way for almost a year. I'm so happy I found your channel thanks to Angie Hot & Flashey! You have actually got me a excited that now I feel I will have more knowledge & food choices (sorry I didn't purposely cheat the order) that was just my 1st video. You are an AMAZING ANGEL!
Oh, Jerrie,
I feel for you, and I also know I can help you. I answered your question on the other video, and will always answer any question you pose. The book will enable you to read ahead and will compliment the videos.
I have been searching for someone to share information the way you are!! This is so helpful and enlightening thank you so much.
That's hilarious... I was not at all prepared for my first period and it scarred me to the point that I went on depo shot for a life time.
Funny enough, now peri/menopause hit me the same way, tho I qualify as menapausal since I was in my 20s😂😂😂
This is why you deserve this education.
Loved the props ❤🙏😊😁
They help you remember the lesson, don't they!
@@MenopauseTaylor most definitely. I was explaining this to my hubby on the way home and he totally agreed that it makes you remember 😊👍😁 thanku so much you are a total godsend 😁
Thank you for all you valuable information!! What is that best way to keep your collagen in your skin through menopause?
You lose collagen as a result of losing estrogen. If you replace the estrogen early enough, you can prevent loss of collagen.
Menopause Taylor thank you so much
I think I'm in perimenopause but the collagen and my skin is already starting to look bad
There are many ways to preserve your collagen. Chapter 19 of my book will give you a whole host of options. And I cover it all in my seminar. And, if you prefer, I can do a one-on-one consultation with you (in person, on Skype, on FaceTime, on Facebook Messenger). I'll show you all sorts of samples and pro[s that help you. MenopauseTaylor.ME is where you schedule one.
Dear Barbie, thank u so much for your videos!!! They are fantastic!!!! My name is Lydia, I live in Greece, I'm 50 years old and had my last period 4 months ago. Just started with bioidentical hormone replacement. What do you think of them???? Also, as I've been exercising with weights since I was 20 years old what do you think I should change in my routine in order for me not to lose what I have accomplished????? Last question as YOU look fantastic..... How can I keep my skin in top shape???? I've got so many questions..... Thank u so much!!!!!
I love questions, Lydia.
Bioidenticals are fine. All that matters is what works for you. One of the biggest lessons I teach you is that no one's opinion matters but your own. I'll be giving you tutorials on all the different categories of hormones, including bioidenticals. If you're happy on them, don't dissect a rose. Just keep on using them.
I think you should change your workout "routine" periodically. Or just add new things every now and then. Your body has memory. If you do the same things, it becomes efficient at going through the motions without much effort. But if you shock your body every now and then with new things, it will respond with increased effort ... and you'll see that as a change in your physique. The weights are great. But maybe you can do them differently, or add balance or flexibility exercise to your routine. I'll be showing you a lot of great exercises throughout the series.
As for your skin, protect it from the sun. I wear a hat every day, no matter what. Drink loads of water, and keep your skin moisturized. I'll be giving you dedicated tutorials on skin care.
I'll be looking forward to each and every one of your tutorials...!!!! Thanks again!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!
Thank You so much !!
You are absolutely welcome!
Hi Barbie
Obviously we are on the same page--sometimes we are "all clueless"
But only temporarily. We're going to change that.
I'm well aware of what is happening, I feel bad for my husband. Most of all no one to relate to, no one with a life line. Constantly trying to just hold it together. Totally anti drug, but this may necessitate the use of HRT...not sure. oh la la, je suis trés confus
Please don't stay confused ... or miserable. Schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME and I will help you assess your best options for managing YOUR menopause YOUR way.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you...I'm not quite ready for that.
@@BW-CC I'm here for you when and if you need me, my dear.
Was also horrified at my first period. No one told me what was coming*
Would love to watch in order but not all videos show a number. Also would like to skip ahead on certain areas of interest, such as EPO. Thanks 🙏
Watching randomly will sabotage your menopause education because you will try to connect all your misinformation with the facts.
They all have a number. If you want to watch in order the easy way, you can do so by going to MenopauseTaylor.ME, where they are all lined u in order.
You don't know what you don't know ... which means you don't know what you need.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you so much Dr Taylor! Yes you are right watching them in order is best. I figured out how you described and started watching them in order. I am on number 5. 😊🙏
@@juliewestron5260 You are a very good student, my dear.
I used to think menopause meant we pause to become men. LOL But I never craved carbs. I craved salt like crazy! I never had acne either. My puberty was super easy in every way except my periods! I hate even their memory! I had breast cancer and after all those surgeries I lost my estrogen. I am glad this resource is available because all I eve heard about menopause was hot flashes. I never had a hot flash and women in Japan do not get hot flashes. Its easy as far as that goes it is diet. But one of my Chinese herbalists said I was degenerating and that was 2002. I have bene in menopause for 4 years and it has only recently (since 2016) gotten really bad and I am gawd I have this as a resource!
I am thrilled to be here to help you. Every woman deserves this education. If only they would all take the time to get it.
I applaud you for being so proactive.
Thank you! I dont get why anyone would just take some medicine that can kill them just because the doctor said so!
I couldn't help but notice that you mentioned each year you move to a different country...sooooo, when will you come to Canada? :)
I already lived in candy, In Whistler, B.C. I loved it. I will not live there again, though, because I have severe arthritis and it's just too cold for me.
I am no longer moving from country to country. And I never travel with my seminar. It's tooooooo big (eight six-foot tables of props and models).
Your work sheets are not available anymore?
Thank You
My pleasure!
This was very interesting considering I had to be put on HRT to make me go into puberty since I was diagnosed with Double XX Familial Dysgenisis. It was very hard because when all my friends were going through puberty I still looked like a little girl and the boys teased me so bad because I had no chest 😩. We can be cruel as kids.
I wish I had been giving this education back then, when it would have helped you understand your situation better.
Barbie, I was one of those people who had no idea about periods before it happened. My sister, who was 1 1/2 years older, had not started so apparently my Mom did not think I needed to know.
I woke up one morning, bleeding. I told my Grandmother, who lived with us, and she was a bit mortified. She did not want to tell me because she thought it was my Mother's place to do it. So she assured me I was okay, sent me to school with an adult-size pad and belt on (old school), and promised that Mom would explain when I got home. Amazing!
Linda,
You are not alone. And I hope you realize that your terrible experience will not play itself out again with your menopause ... not as long as I'm around. I'm so glad you're watching these. If I can make a difference in even one woman's life, I'll feel that it's the most important thing I can do with what I know. I really appreciate your comment. And I'm sure a lot of my viewers feel the same way I do.
I had no idea we were born with that many eggs!!
Incredible, isn't it. And you'll learn so much more as we go along.
OMG ! I have all those symptoms plus abdominal pain all the time and I'm not in menopause yet 😳
Well, getting educated will help you navigate what's going on. Keep on watching, and talk with your doctor.
Im 41.5 years old.i have all the symptoms of perimenapause. Only thing is I magically lost weight rather than gained. I do have a pituitary adenoma that produces excess prolactin though.
Have a check-up with your endocrinologist who manages your pituitary adenoma. Then you can consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME to address your peri-menopause if you wish. I will tailor all your options specifically to YOU.
@@MenopauseTaylor I've been to 2 endocrinologist and they tried me on Cabergoline for a while but I dont take it anymore. They thought it was a tumor and turns out to be a cyst now they believe so the meds helped lower prolactin but that's about it. It hasn't gotten bigger but it wasn't shrinking either. I guess I should check up with them again to see if there are any changes. My hair is falling out around the crown bad and I'm getting cystic acne on my jawline. Periods are very heavy and every 3 weeks now. I started having a SLEW of symptoms about 2.5 years ago out of nowhere. They have never been able to figure out what the hell is wrong. Iron deficiency showed up though which I had infusions for. 😕
@@Jojo-lf3dy Schedule a consultation with me to assess this from the standpoint of your female hormones.
Now I get when my family say I roll my eyes all the time, I feel fine but they don't. 🙊
Hazel, I'll make it better for all of you.
+Menopause Barbie thank you dr Barbie!!
Thank u Dr.
You are so very welcome, my dear.
6:24 I started my period at 9 years old and then the puberty started a little after.. could this be because I was sexually abused and that brought on the period first before puberty started?
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.
B: Agh!! I know NOTHING!!! I've been on Depo on and off (currently on) for the past couple decades, does that mean my eggs are on meno-pause or are they gone? P.S. I am thanking you on behalf of my family for telling me this so that I can be WAY more aware of my behavior when the time comes *hug*
Oh, I am so sorry for this tardy reply. The RUclips comments on my end are supposed to line up all the new ones so that I don’t have to search for them one-video-at-a-time. And most of the time, it works. But occasionally (as in this case), a comment doesn’t appear in the line-up. I apologize profusely for the delay.
Depo Provera has nothing to do with your eggs.
Depo-Porvera is progesterone. It's a form of birth control. It will probably be good throughout PERI-menopause because peri-menopause is entirely due to low progesterone.
But eventually, you'll become POST-menoapusal, at which time the problem is ESTROGEN DEFICIENCY. For that, progesterone will make things worse. That's when you'll need estrogen to make things better.
Girl!!! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
BRAVO!
Thank you, mu dear.
I am 25
my doctor recommended for premenopaus test and test is show 19.64 so what is that mean I dnt understand plzzz suggest
I responded to this question in another video. You left your comment on a few other videos, too.
When asked what it was like for " me" when I went through menopause I've responded that my family would be better to answer that question 😝
You are so right! But my goal is to make it as good as possible for you and your family. Remember, you'll be a menopausal woman for the rest of your life and, together, we're going to make that the best of your life.
My niece is 6 and she knows about periods since she was 4 . She says she is looking forward to have periods ....
Well, she's quite precocious! Let's see how well she likes them once she has them!
Unfortunately, I was not prepared for my menopause at all! It was a disaster
But it does not have to remain so. You will be a menopausal woman for the rest of your life. So, get this eduction or schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME so that you can discover all your options to make the rest of your life the best of your life.
You have save my insanity😁☺️👏🏾
I love knowing that this education is making a positive difference for you.
Even though I HATE quizzes I got them all right! What did I win LOL?
In my seminars, I give prizes for correct answers ... all sorts of fun things. My seminar is this weekend. Sorry you won't be there. You'd probably win a bunch of stuff.
coolio I was just kidding! I learned doing tons of research since most doctors seem clueless. My GYN is willing to help so not him but everyone else! Some of them are word famous doctors too!
I'm glad your gynecologist is doing a good job for you. Many women cannot say the same.
