"Natural" Versus "Synthetic" Options for Menopause Management - 22
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 окт 2016
- Let's discuss "natural" versus "synthetic" options for menopause management. It’s only natural that you might have a preference for either “natural” or “synthetic” options for menopause. It would be false to argue otherwise. But how do you know what’s “natural” and what’s “synthetic?” And what makes something “natural” or “synthetic,” anyway? Are all pharmaceuticals “synthetic?” And does “synthetic” mean “artificial?” Are all herbal formulations “natural?” The answers might surprise you. Watch this video to seek the truth.

I’m against anything that involves the abuse and torture of horses specially pregnant ones I’ve been binge watching your videos and looking forward to a consult with you! I’m vegan and hope to goddess I have some choices here!
Thanks Barbie for listing all of the options out there. I have been interested in bio identicals and cannot wait for your next video!😎
Not only will the next video be on bioidentical hormones in general, but I'll be giving you a separate video on each hormone category as bioidenticals. Keep watching.
So far very much enjoying all the information here (have watched the videos from the beginning). However as someone who has knowledge about the drug Premarin, I must step up and say something. This is a TERRIBLE drug. While it may be very effective for some women, it is 100% at the expense of the horses. Draft horse mares (large breeds are used because they produce more urine) are impregnated, kept in tiny, standing stalls and given very little water so that their urine is more concentrated. They have receptacles strapped to their hind quarters to collect the urine. Even worse than the life they live is the fact that after their foals are borne, the babies are considered useless byproducts and then sent to slaughter. I have been involved in the Equine industry nearly all my life and I know many organizations who work to at least round up some of these poor foals and get them adopted out. But many still get slaughtered. And the mares still live a life of misery. I would encourage you to do your own research on the subject and choose another drug of estrogen so we are not contributing to this terrible practice. For the record I am not a PETA member. I am a horse and animal lover and I would suspect as a vegan, Dr. Taylor you are too. I would strongly encourage alternatives to Premarin.
Robin Wicker Hmm, this is enlightening and important. I will be listening closely for any good alternatives to the equine estrogen. I am currently on Prempro but will need to be switching to a less expensive alternative , this is very timely, thank you for the comment here.
I suspected as much, but thank you for pointing this out.
Thank you for speaking up, Robin. I agree with you 100 percent. Not in a million years would I ever consider taking this drug!
I am glad to have this information.
thank you for that visual. its disgusting. I am an animal lover too, and its easy to get an estrogen patch and prometrium without having to put any animals thru this, its fine when people didnt have a choice but now we do.
Thank you for the time you’ve dedicated to help educate us on our journey through menopause.
You are so very welcome, my dear. This is the menopause education all women deserve. I'm so glad you're here!
Thank you once again Dr. Barbie, I get it, say what we want, and follow through. I especially appreciated the part explains about synthetics, it can actually be "natural" ingredients combined together.
Yes. That's one of the things that most people don't know. And once you realize that some of the synthetic drugs are also natural, it opens up so many more options that are more tested and predictable. A big smorgasbord is good for everyone.
This is great! Thank you for the clarification.
Thank you so much. You are so knowledgeable. Thanks for teaching us.
Excellent information...feeling more and more equipped! Thank you.
Yep. You're seeing how it all comes together. Good job, RaChelle.
Scored A in your test! Whew!
Thank you for the etymology lesson. Need to listen to this episode again!
In my head I always separated Natural vs. Synthetic in a way of - natural occurrence or man/lab created. )))
You'e a very good student. I made you think, didn't I. And I hope you noticed that I gave you no answers at all. The answers are your own.
Thank you Menopause Barbie! I realise that I have rejected options based on assumptions. Your tutorials are an encouragement to seek information to make choices suitable for me👍
You will always be able to manage your menopause any way you want. The key is to do so with facts rather than with fears and misconceptions. I'm glad you see that.
Ok I’m scheduling my one on one with u now. Thanks so much and I’m so grateful for u & ur guidance
I look so forward to meeting you and helping you, my dear.
Fascinating information!! Thank you, Dr. Barbie!!
Got you thinking, didn't it!
You blew my mind!!! and you always make me laugh-Thank goodness-lol. I am enjoying taking your class in order.
It's more fun this way, isn't it! I'm so glad you took my advice (and it's the only time I'll actually give you "my advice.")
Yay! I got natural correct!
Yes, I think of the word Fake for synthetic...used to...not anymore!
Thank you!
I love your videos! I watch them while I'm at the gym. My husband comes with me and when I start one of your videos i always tell him, "It's my girl". Lol! Thanks for all you do.
I love knowing that I get to work it with you! Yes, I'm your girl .... and your workout partner.
thank you Barbie I was able to pick up the rest of the thread in your comments....I'll look for the book in my local library, BTW I liked your "girly day" with Dominique! Victoria
Oh thank you. I think you'll only find my book on Amazon. It's "Print on Demand" so that there aren't a bunch of copies that have killed trees sitting on shelves around the world.
Awesome thank you!!! Would love to meet you when you are next in Cape Town. Love your tutorials and look forward to each one as you release them.
You are so kind, Terri. Thank you for your steadfast support. Thank you even more for taking such good care of your self by learning about menopause.
I now finally understand the difference between natural, synthetic, bio-identical etc., hormonal treatments. Also, I couldn’t take the guilt anymore of picking and choosing your videos that I thought were most pertinent to me and so I have started again from the beginning and as you have been telling us Dr. Taylor, that is the only way to go. It is a pleasure to watch ones I know I have already seen because of how informative and enjoyable you make them. It has nothing to do with my foggy, forgetful peri menopause brain, oh no! Hahaha! But I am not skipping a single one with my backtracking. Thank you!
I am so, so very glad you started at the beginning. And now you see what a huge difference it makes. You now understand everything and can connect all the dots!
Don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU. I do them all online.
That was very helpful, thank you! I can't wait to hear about the Bioidentical hormones. I've been considering those....
They're coming up in tutorial 23. And later in the series, I'll give you individual tutorials on options for bioidenticals for each hormone: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Awesome!!! :)
Your awesome by the way!! Love these videos very educational.
I love your enthusiasm. In the previous comment, I directed you to my website. You'll find a bunch of really helpful, and fun articles that I've written for you. I want to meet all your needs.
Excellent, excellent information!
I'm glad you find it helpful, my dear.
I love you! My god, thank you SO MUCH x
You are so very welcome! I love knowing this education is serving your needs.
Very educational👍🏻. Knowledge is power. Thank you, Barbie.
And you, my dear, will be very powerful!
You are absolutely right. That is why it is so much easier to sell anything to people with less knowledge. I think "they" want to keep the consumer uneducated for self benefits. Just my opinion.
That's true. When you're ignorant, you're gullible. If you watch these videos, I can assure you that you'll never be either when it comes to menopause management.
Wow, mind blown. Thank you.
I love these videos and appreciate them SO much. And I don't like how you make us sound when you do "our voice." However, I know it's not disrespect because you actually show us utmost respect by empowering us with knowledge. THANK YOU!!
You are welcome, my dear. Thank you for overlooking the things you don't like in order to appreciate the things you do like.
Oh, goodness. I was tired and cranky when I posted that. If I saw you in person, those are absolutely not the words I would choose to say to you! And if I knew that you would most definitely see and respond to my comment, I would have left out anything but love, praise, admiration and gratitude for that is how I truly feel about these videos. When you speak as us, l think to myself, “Who on earth would question anything Menopause Taylor says? Especially in that tone? Certainly not me, for I hang on her every word!” So please accept that in my heart, my criticism was actually a veiled compliment 😆 that didn’t get expressed well in my exhaustion. Feeling undone and humbled by your graciousness and class 🙏 💜
@@NeilGamez No offense taken, my dear. I know I'm a bit quirky. I'm also the only person on Planet Earth who has ever delivered an education on menopause to women. So overlook my quirks and get the education you deserve.
Very interesting & useful information. Thank u😘
You're welcome, my dear.
Best education for anyone on natural, synthetic, pharmaceutical products and more. Amazing!!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I think it really helps to answer these important questions. You'll find that you were making assumptions that will not serve you well.
So thought provoking!
You see, that's what a real education does: It makes you think. I love knowing that your getting this education. Just watch all my videos in order and you will see that you learn everything you need to know in order to make the rest of your life the best of your life.
Natural, organic, etc are all used as marketing tools for us, the consumers, to mean that it is better for you. Most people believe this. It's crazy. I enjoyed your explanation of "natural" and what it means. I wish more people would do their research and decide what is best for them and not what other people say or the words "natural" or "organic."
Sorry I got on my soap box.
Enjoy your lessons and learning. You make me feel smart when I kind of already understood some things you teach and I enjoy learning about the things I sidnt know.
Thank you.
You are an excellent student, Yvette. And I am so honored to have you here at "Menopause University." I really applaud you for getting this education.
Fabulous instruction Barbie. Thank you.
Awesome! I see a future with hot flashes, hair shedding, no energy relief coming soon! lol. Thank you Barbie:)
Oh, don't worry. I have all sorts of options for you to manage those things ... in many different categories, some natural, some synthetic, and some both.
Excellent tutorial, learnt so much👍😀
I love knowing my videos help you. Keep watching. You'll learn more than you can possibly imagine (if you watch them in order).
Wow! I guess I am one of the few who considers everything as Natural 😊. However, I never really understood what Synthetic meant! Thank you! I have never thought of these terms this way! I so much appreciate your channel! All the best to you and your husband making those videos with you!
You are so welcome for the education , my dear. But you should know that it's just me. George and I divorced, and now I am married to my commitment to make life better for all women. It's a much better match for me.
@@MenopauseTaylor Dear Barbie! All the best to you! You are a true inspiration!
@@ekaterinakozlovskaia8082 The same to you. And giving you the tools to make the rest of your life the best of your life is what inspires me.
Thank you so much again for educational video. I am learning a lot....And I love your autfit Barbie. Very beautiful and feminine.
You make me feel so good. Thank you for benefitting from all this, Lada.
This was very informative, Dr. Barbie. Your explanations and examples were excellent. This has definitely made me think about the two more closely. Now where did you get horse urine...that is the question!! :-p
Very informative; natural? Bio Identical? So good to know the differences, wow!
SugarPuffandFluff sent me here; and I'm SO grateful!!
Thank you Barbie, you are Fabulous!!
Well, I'm thrilled that you're here. Please enjoy learning about menopause. And if you really want to know what you don't know but thought you knew, and really want to be prepared for this important time in your life, be sure to watch them in order. That little number after the title tells you the sequence.
Welcome aboard!
This is great. I want to know any adverse effects, potentially
Great as usual, and educational - however, would it be safe to say that most women want to take something with the least side effects ?? Natural or otherwise for what their problem is?? Thanks for making these video for us.
Yes, most women do want the fewest side effects, but they also want something that works FOR THEM. The key is always to balance the benefits against the risks of each option as it pertains to YOU.
Thanks
Wow great video.
I'm so glad you liked it, DeeDee.
I really appreciate your reply, unfortunately your statement at the end was cut off...You were saying there was an excellent.....and of course I'm dying to know what you were saying?... Victoria
There's an excellent book entitled, "The Estrogen Window" by Mache Seibel, M.D. It's fairly "medical" but intended for patients. If you read it, I think you'll understand the benefits of hormones in your situation.
I don' t care if it is natural or synthetic. I just want it to stop these hot flashes that I have had for 11 years! I have tried Premarin, herbal and now Efflexor. None take them away completely and summer is the worst time. Frequency goes up due to temperature increase. However, all reduces the night time sweats and insomnia. Still incredibly inconvenient to break out in a sweat at any time for no outward reason :( Will stay tuned though. Thank you Barbie!
Sarah,
You're attitude is the most common one: I'll do whatever it takes to avoid dealing with all this inconvenient discomfort.
How old are you? I ask because if you're younger than 55, and you aren't a smoker, and you have no health risks, you can take some form of birth control until age 55, and that should do the trick. The dosages of hormones for birth control are higher than the dosages in hormone replacement for menopause. And the younger you are the more hormones you need to take care of your symptoms of menopause. When you turn 55, you can take the lower dose hormones for menopause and you should do fine. It's something to consider. There are birth control pills, patches, and vaginal rings.
Hi Barbie
Thank you for your kind reply! I am 61 and I took Prempro (not Premarin--my error) for 5 years. No breast cancer in family, non smoker, no none health risks and also former ballet dancer and now ballet teacher so my bone density is very high for my age :).
If you've been on estrogen early in your menopause, there's no rule that says you have to stop them completely at some arbitrary age. It's a different stop for women who never started them early on.
Maybe you should get some other opinions about your eligibility to continue them.
You are awesome!
So are you!
I was terrified when I found out Bio-identical hormones are synthetic. You explain the definition of synthetics so regular non medical people like me can understand the term. But after trying many Phytoestrogens and being told by terrified doctors they refused to give me bio-identical hormones I finally am taking them after a few years of tests by my GYN. He has been very kind. The herbal products really only help hot flashes which I never had so they are kind of worthless IMO at least for me. This country's obsession with hot flashes is amusing not really its annoying. You explain it so well!
Everything should make sense. Any time something doesn't make sense, either you're missing a piece of the puzzle or the person explaining it has an agenda other than teaching you. Usually, they're trying to sell you some product.
Bookmarking where I am in the meno series🙋♀️🙌💃♥️🥰
I am learning so much! OK - perimenopausal student over here and I am wondering is there data about how the female body reacts to these types? For instance, does a natural synthetic cause less or more cancerous issues later on in life vs a lab-created synthetic? I hope I am making sense. OR if you address this. I'll keep watching these until I hear you go over that. Thank you!
Dear Menopause Taylor, first time commenting; am binge watching all the videos in order ; ) Thank you a million times for doing this, I've practically cried with the logic of well, your logic! We live in a time with often a crucial lack of it. Have been seeing a naturo for 3 years (small town, no doctors dealing with hormones), but she speaks a different language, & I've learned a ton more in these videos than from her in 3 years combined. I do have one question: would not Premarin horse urine follow the same line of reasoning as cow milk. Humans shouldn't use milk from another animal, or after being weaned, for example. Or is it apples & oranges? Thank you!
I think it's great that you're thinking so critically. As for the question you posed, I think you could asses it in one of four ways:
(1) If you prefer to have no animal products in your body at all, for whatever reason, there would be no difference between cow milk and horse urine. You would avoid them both.
(2) If you have no opposition to ingesting animal products, you would see the two as equally acceptable.
(3) If you make a distinction between a product intended for human consumption (milk) versus one that is to (urine), then you would argue that the milk is fine, but the horse urine isn't.
(4) Some (vegans) might even take a fourth position and say that cow milk is unacceptable because were'e not supposed to be ingesting dairy after we're weaned, but that Premarin is not the actual urine, only the estrogen extracted from the urine.
I've heard just about everything. I'm not judgmental,and I think there's validity in all three positions. Just remember: the only opinion that matters is your own.
I am watching all the videos in order as advised and... I am more and more confused with the menopausal help-products. I stopped caring for what sort of stuff it is, I just desperately want to sleep without the feeling of being microwaved and extremely sweaty. I am so tired that I have no energy so I eat all day long, can't force myself to any physical activity and as a result I put extra 12kg on in last tree months... I just need something for those hot flashes. I'm afraid that before I watch all those films to learn what to choose I will die. However, I must admit, I love your passion, energy, strength, flexibility and knowledge dr. Taylor. I wish I could be at least 1/3 of a woman you are.
Please consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will help you get what you need now so that you can feel better and function better. Then you can continue watching the videos at a more leisurely pace.
@@MenopauseTaylor I've been thinking of it and checked your consultation website but I live in the UK and don't have any medical records I could send to you.
@@ewastachowska6848 You do not have to have any medical records at all. And all consultations are by video conferencing. I do them with women all over the world.
SugarPuffandFluff sent me too Barbie. Loving this series. It was fun to watch Dominique do your makeup. Looked like you had fun too. She did a beautiful job. :)
Oh, thank you. It was definitely fun. And much lighter than menopause!
I'm so glad you're benefitting from my menopause tutorials.
My husband is a chemist. He would say all things are made of chemicals. Even things that are considered natural are made of chemicals.
He is right!
The Thinking Cap comes from Tom Terrific, part of Captain Kangaroo. You may be too young to remember Captain Kangaroo. Those of us from that era still use the phrase Thinking Cap.
xo~linda
I am definitely not too young to remember Captain Kangaroo! I'm 62.
I've been in menopause for 7 years and I am suffering so badly. I lost half my hair last year. I'm taking some natural supplements as well as 200mg of prometruim(progesterone). I stoped Esrtadiol after 3 months because it said side effect "scalp hair loss" but it's still coming out so much! (Telogin Effluvium). I've been diagnosed. So now I do want to add Estrogen back in! I'm scared to what one I should use. I'm actually worse now with all symptoms than 7 years and all my blood levels are in normal range! Any advice would be amazing! I'm loving learning from you and I'm telling everyone about you!
Amy,
You should still be eligible to restart estrogen, and I think it would help you a ton. Please talk with your gynecologist (not a GP, Family Practitioner, or Internist). You need an expert. You can choose what form you prefer (pills, patches, vaginal ring, cream, gel, etc.) You should get started as soon as you can because the option may not be available to you forever.
There's a book you should read called "The Estrogen Window" by Mache Seibel, M.D. I think it would explain a lot.
Thank you for your videos. Other than medication, could you please explain in more detail the phases and symptoms during each phase of menopause? And where they come from? For instance, I am at the start of the process and felt aching breasts. I know learnt that the fallen progesterone leads to more water in my body and thus in my breasts, hence the pain. So before talking about the possibilities of treatment, I'd love to hear more about "this might be your symptom during this phase and this might be why you are experiencing it". Thanks again and greetings from Germany!
Hmmm. Have you watched these videos in order? Video 10 is "Phases of Menopause." Eventually I'l be giving you at least tow or three videos on each and every one of the 22 symptoms of menopause ... along with every single management option in all five categories (Diet & Lifestyle, Vitamins & Minerals, Botanicals & Herbs, Hormone Medications, Non-Hormonal Medications). But to understand all that, you have to have this foundation in these hormonal medications.
Later, when you're watching a video on a particular symptoms, and I tell you that you can use estrogen to combat it, you'll understand that there are many different categories of estrogen. And you'll understand the differences between them. I won't have to go off on a tangent to teach you about these things that I'm teaching you now.
I know it's slow. If you want it faster, you can get my book, which has all of this. Alternatively, beginning in September, I'll be giving seminars that will give you everything you need in just two six-hour days. And I'll be making a DVD of the seminar that you can buy if you don't want to fly all the way from Germany!
P.S. I was born in Wiesbaden!
Menopause Taylor Thanks for the explanation! I did watch the videos in order, but I guess I weren't patient enough. Your explanation makes sense and I 'll just wait for what I'm looking for, then. ;) Thanks again, fellow somewhat-German ;)
It's easy to get overwhelmed with all this. Just stay tuned. I'll cover everything every which way, I promise. I love making these videos for you.
Dong Quai? (5.03)That's is also use for menopause... I am taking pharmaceutical estrogen, actualy I just started with it. but I am not planning to use it for a very long time.
You should have consultation with me to learn about all the options and all their pros and cons. That's the name of the game: realizing that EVERYTHING, absolutely EVERYTHING has both pros and cons. The key is to tailor all those pros and cost to YOU.
I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works:
1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone.
2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. 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!
I would love to attend one of your seminars.
I would love to have you there and to meet you! I hope you can. I promise it's the best investment you could ever make in yourself. I don't disappoint. You can register for it at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I understand all that you are saying (mostly all haha) but the thing is I don't know what I want..I mean, I want something that doesn't have bad side effects, something that won't cause cancer in the long run, or heart attack (for example)..you know :)
I totally understand. And you will discover what options have the best benefits for you as we go along. Each video is going to bring you closer to knowing what you want the most. This isn't something you can learn in one video. Keep watching. I assure you that I'm going to give you all the facts.
Oh thank youuuuu ! I want to go to my doctor already (the earlier the better) so it is a good idea to have some understanding what I would like to get.
Absolutely! And you'll find that your visit with your doctor is so much more productive and satisfying with this education.
Just checking to see if I heard correctly, are there indeed plant based pharmaceutical estrogens and progestrones? If yes, what are they called please?
This is my question as well. I just feel overwhelmed trying to wade through all these videos for simple, short questions. GAAAAAAHHH!
Hi there! I'm 63 and only started bio-identical hormones for 2 1/2 year. My regular Dr. said I should have started right after starting of menopause. I was much stronger and healthier taking the bio-identical. But after starting Naltrexone for Hashimoto's I had started to spot. My natural path said to stop my bio-identical hormones. Because he believed the Naltrexone 'reset' thyroid and that my body no longer was attaching my thyroid, thus allow my body to produce hormones. Does any of this make sense? I'm not sure what to do? HELP!
None of this makes any sense at all.
This is the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations.

What is the name of the estrogen pill you mentioned? I want to research it more
I mentioned "Premarin."
Pre = pregnant
Mar = mare
Ine = urine
Help! Barbie I went to my dr. Stood my ground yet she still refused to give me bio hrt?? She wants a mammogram 1st?? Now I need to wait another month for relief? How can we fix our healthcare system isolated in 1 exam room at a time???
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.
Hello. What do you think of OTC estrogen creams: such as from Smoky Mountain Naturals: Ex: 1/4 teas = 3.125 mg of estriol ESP. ? Thanks
These are herbal products made from Wild Yams. That means they fall into the category of Alternative & Complementary products that are very low dose hormone products. (Video tutorial 31) If they work, great.
Estriol is one of the bioidentical forms of estrogen. (Video tutorial 32)
You won't know until you see signs of aging (sorry). But I can tell you that the dosage is nowhere as effective as that in bioidentical or pharmaceutical hormones. The ones you're using are 1/100 - 1/1000 as strong.
You'll learn about this in videos 25, 26, & 27. Be sure to watch all the videos in order and you'll understand everything.
Menopause Barbie, Thank you for these videos! I am learning a lot. I am in perimenopause with Endometriosis. It would be great to hear your advise for these two problems!
I'll be covering endometriosis quite a while from now. But I have good news for you: Your endometriosis will most likely improve or disappear once you become post-menopausal. It is supported by the hormones from your ovaries. And when they're no longer around, the endometriosis will probably subside.
Thank you! I will look forward to menopause for this reason =)
I agree! Besides, the only alternative is death!
Hi Barbie🥰🤗 i love you vidoes, keep on shining☀️🍀im going thru early menopause i have hashimato i used 3 months trisequeens but my tsh level went from 0.98 to 3 but i am using throid pills my obgyn told me to stop using the hormon pill. But never told me why my tsh hormone went high 🤦🏻♀️😩
Consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you'd like me to tailor all this menopause information specifically to YOU. It would help you tremendously.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you 🙏🏼
@@elvanetk78 You are absolutely welcome, my dear.
Funny! I had a friend who kept insisting that natural hair care and skin care products were what I should be using cause natural is always best. I pointed out to her that poison ivy and dog poo are natural but I wouldn't want them on my face or scalp!! Lol.
I love your retort. How true. So you really understood this video.
I need a one on one appointment with you!!
I'll delighted to help you.
Lots of great info here. I understood what you were talking about, but i have one question I hope you can answer. How long is it safe to take anyone of these types of hormones?
Susan,
It all depends on when you started taking the hormones. As it turns out, there's something called "the estrogen window," which I'll be covering later. In other words, if you began taking hormones at the very beginning of your menopause, you can probably take them for many years or maybe forever. If you didn't start them early on, but waited until you'd been menopausal for 5 - 10 years, you may not be able to take them at all or for very long. Of course, all of this is determined by your general health status.
Every woman is different on this issue. You should definitely have a discussion with your doctor about what's best in your personal situation. Hopefully, your doctor won't have a "one-rule-applies-to-all-women" attitude. It's very individual.
And the type of hormones you take matters, too. Herbal hormones are much weaker than bioidentical or synthetic pharmaceutical hormones. Keep watching the videos. We're about to cover something you'll find extremely interesting.
+Menopause Barbie thank you so much for the reply. I started as soon as I knew something was wrong and went to my GYN and was tested. I was 42 and started on a low dose of Premarin. Then I moved to SC and my GYN here said I could take them as long as I wanted to. I am 56 now, and I stopped them myself because of all the bad things I was reading about them. I felt so much better ON THEM! I have been off them now for over a year. Sounds like I need to make an appointment and get myself back to feeling good for a change. Looking forward to you next video....
+susan moore also, I might add it was natural menopause, not from surgery. I still have all my female organs. I stated my periods at age 9 and had endometriosis and PCOS. Just wanted you to have a little background on me. I had laser of my endometriosis at the age of 29.
It sounds to me like you'd definitely be happier if you restarted them. And you're much better off consistently using them or not using them rather than going on and off them.
Susan, I can tell you that the more you watch these videos you'll find that so many of the scare tactics you hear are completely unfounded. Still, comfort zones do matter. Let me know what you decide.
Thanks so much for helping me.. I went back on them. I had a three month supply when I quit, and wow do I feel normal again.... words can't describe... I am calling my GYN to schedule my check up. I am not due for a pap this year, but I do need my yearly exam... loving your videos,,, you are so awesome...
Did you buy all of those?
I have often bought everything there is in terms of vitamins & herbs. Not because I need them all, but because I want to know first-hand what's out there and what's in the available products. I've gotten a lot of strange looks, that's for sure.
What about estrogen and breast cancer?
Ahhh, you're getting waaaaay ahead of the game. Most women have nothing but misconceptions about menopause, hormones, and breast cancer. And your question taps into one of the biggest misconceptions of all.
You should get my book. Chapter 30 is all about breast cancer. Better than that, you should come to my two-day seminar (next one on February 10 and 11) or get the seminar on DVD from my website (MenopauseTaylor.ME). I can tell that you're an avid student who wants the big picture. It will take years to get the whole education from these videos. It will take just 2 days if you attend a seminar.
It's a big misconception that estrogen "causes" breast cancer.
I understand that it is our final decision, but I was wondering if you know anything about this product. ...Macafem...
Maca is a food that was used in the high altitudes of Peru. It was considered to be "famine food." It's high in nutritional value, containing essential amino acids and fatty acids. The dried root can be stored for years without deteriorating (thus its use during famine). And then they can be cooked to make a porridge known as "mazzamora." Peruvian folklore holds that mac enhances female fertility (to counter the reduction in fertility that occurs at high altitudes).
There is no evidence that maca has any benefit in menopause. But there are no known toxic effects.
But when combining natural ingredients in a lab often unnatural and toxic fillers and binders are used. That may be where synthetic HRT got its bad rap from, and that may remain a valid concern.
Horse urine may seem natural, but what if the horse is fed GMO feed all its life which may contain pesticides, and also given a bunch of antibiotics to keep them “healthy”?
And all of this is even more true for the supplement industry, which people view as "natural." You will learn that I'll tell you the truth about everything. The problem is that you don't get the facts about most things: Not food, supplements, or drugs. I'll be sure you do.
Yes a concern
Why or how can a woman be allergic to hrt even though it's natural?
"Allergic" is not the proper word. Nobody is "allergic" to the hormones their own body produce.
However, some people are "sensitive" to certain hormones their body produces. A good example of this is cortisol, the stress hormone.
Hi Dr Taylor I stopped taking my bioidentical estrogen and progestergone a few days ago because I was not sure if it was contributing to my hyperthyroid induced by too much iodine. I was doing great feeling well on them but started to loose too much weight and stopped because I was scared of possible blood clot; my fibrogen level is 160 and I had a blood clot with my pic line. I really want to re-start my hormones again but my HR is elevated since I stopped. I was not able to get a soon consult appointment with you and need to ask if the tachy and headache can come when stopping? I was doing well on propranlol 10 3x. Thank You
Lynn,
You really need a consultation for this. I cannot help you here in this comment box. I have become so busy with consultations that you will probably never be able to get one on short notice. So, go ahead and schedule it because your situation really warrants some attention.
@@MenopauseTaylor will do. Thank You
@@Lynn-nd8po I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank You Dr Taylor! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
@@Lynn-nd8po To you and yours, too, my dear.
really enjoying the information and the way you deliver it! we need to clone you (unnatural I'm !) would love to have you as my MD what's your thought on estrogen and prometrium and the length of time I should take it....one Dr said less than a year and the other said as long as you want as the quality of your life is most important. No hx of breast cancer, but have had lympoma (hodgkins ) with chemo radiation hence the hard onset of menopause at 47 after tx...thank you for reading and listening, don't we all just want to be heard Victoria
Victoria,
Your menopause was "surgical" in the sense that it occurred suddenly after chemotherapy. That means that it was more abrupt and your body didn't have the opportunity to ease into it. Because of that, you should continue your hormones as long as you can do so safely. It will make a big difference in your risk for osteoporosis, heart attack, and Alzheimer's disease. If you have no health issues making hormones risky for you, consider taking them for 10 years or more.There's an excellent book entitled, "The Estrogen Window" by Mache Seibel, M.D. It's fairly "medical" but intended for patients. If you read it, I think you'll understand the benefits of hormones in your situation.
Wow
I'm serious, I've come down with Iatrophobia after being exposed to dangerously inadequate medical care here in the states and our "Obama Care" misconception. I want the"natural' that is like DOING NOTHING except what I enjoy to do, that kind of 'natural.' Is that possible??? :-)
It is absolutely fine to do nothing or to do only what meets your definition of "natural." The only opinion that matters is your own. As you learn more, you'll re-evaluate as to whether that remains the best option for you. Remember, you know yourself better than anyone else does. And the only person you're with all the time is yourself. Just be honest with yourself and honor your wishes, and you'll be happy with your decisions.
"Genuine-Authentic" is a style that looks great on everyone! :-)
I agree!
👍👍👍
Do you know what they do to the foals from all the preg mares. They kill them! I would never use premerin it is a disgusting practice.
The name of the game with this education is that you get to manage YOUR menopause YOUR way. I do not push anything. I have no product. All I do is give you the facts and let you tailor them to yourself.
😀😀😀
you're so cute!
Ha! You make me feel good.
This is ridiculous so much irrelevant info pls come to the point I meant you got 388 episodes already I can see what’s coming up.
If you’d like a more efficient delivery of this menopause education, you should do one of the following:
• Read my book
• Watch the webinars in order
• Watch the DVD entitled Your Menopause Your Way
They all give you the complete education without the fluff of the videos. You can get any of these from my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME.
And if you want the fastest track, schedule a consultation with me, and you'll get the education along with tailoring of it specifically to YOU. You can schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
These videos cover only one piece of information in each video. That’s intentional. If you only use these videos to get your education, it will be very complete, but it will take a looooooong time. My goal is to meet the needs of all women, regardless of their learning style, and regardless of their command of the English language. Many of my viewers speak English as a second, third, or fourth language. You may not care about them, but I do.
I am the only person providing a complete and unbiased education on menopause. So, I’m trying to serve the needs of all women. I’m sorry I haven’t served yours well. But I think one of the other options listed above will.
I apologies for words 🙏that’s not representing my thoughts for u,I love your work & passion for humanity education 👌, I felt pressurised to cover all quickly & got overwhelmed in between, u taught me patience today once again sorry!
@@niazmuhammad6629 No worries. I just want you to get the menopause education you deserve. I will do all I can to ensure that you do.
