Depressing, that's right. But nobody explains women's health like you, Dr Taylor. Thank you!
Please don't get depressed. Just know that this education will ultimately empower you to make the rest of your life the best of your life.
Just want to say that Dr. Taylor is an exceptional woman! She is kind, giving, frank, brilliant, funny, as well as a doctor among all her other achievements. Even with my lack of Oxytocin, if I could have a friend left, I would give anything to have her as one of my closest friends. When I saw the video of her birthday celebration with friends, I thought that it was exactly the type of person I would love to have in my life.
This is so very kind! Thank you for your loving words. I think you would be a wonderful friend, and I do hope to meet you some day. You've made me feel very worm inside (in a good way).
You are fantastic, Dr Taylor. I feel warm inside and outside. You have such a great sense of humor.
You're fantastic, too, my dear.
I’m so thankful I stumbled onto your channel a year ago!! I have learned so much and since then I have found a menopause specialist in my area who has started me on a .075 mg/day Estradiol patch, told me to cut back on my red wine and coffee consumption and have received tremendous relief!! Could you possibly address the nay-sayers in the medical field that say that taking estrogen replacement will eventually render your adrenal glands useless. I keep hearing this and reading comments on RUclips of women saying that’s why they refuse to take estrogen along with the misconception of it causing cancer. I would really like to hear your thoughts on that.
Andrea Kirkpatrick 👆🏼THIS👆🏼PLEASE ADDRESS❤️
Well this was depressing 😩
Menopause is a monster, I feel so sad , all is happening to me.
Raquel,
My goal is to make your menopause the very bet of your life. I can help you with any aspect of it and make it really wonderful. The first step in doing os is education. I'll be giving you options for managing all these things later in the series. And I'll include all categories or options: Diet, Exercise, Lifestyle, Vitamins, Minerals, Botanicals, Herbs, Acupuncture, Hypnosis, Hormonal Medication, and Non-Hormonal Medications.
I'm available to help you at any time. All you have to do is schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
My MIL, age 74, just broke a piece of her L4 disk off removing a casserole from the oven a few weeks ago which has caused her horrible pain and numbness in her leg. Now she will have surgery to repair the injury. She opted not to take estrogen after her hysterotomy in 2001. She's of the belief that hormones are bad. So sad to watch our loved ones have troubles as they age. I am so thankful for this education as I continue to go through your videos (in order!). You're a gem and have definitely convinced me of the benefits of HRT (I was of the "natural" camp before because of several friends I have who also think HRT is bad).
Dr. Taylor described my symptoms to the letter as if she knows me personally. I had all these symptoms and my doctor said my estrogen levels were still within normal limits. I wish my doctors were as knowledgeable as you are. Thank you Dr. Barbie!!!!
Updated. These symptoms came on gradually over several years. I only lost my menses in the last 4 months.
PLEASE schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will help you with all of this and teach you how to navigate the medical system.
Dr. Barbie i believed u are God's instrument in educating women about menopause which most obgynes' didn't do and we cannot thank you enough for doing this. I love the way you teach us with all those props. Mabuhay from Philippines!
This makes me want to cry. No wonder I feel like hell
Please consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. There's no need to suffer. I will tailor all your options to YOUR specific situation and help you decide what's best for YOU.
Great info and I like your delivery style. It’s apparent that you enjoy teaching and will continue to unfold this topic for us including solutions. Thanks for your caring heart!
Exactly! I'll leave nothing unaddressed. And, I'll be very precise in the order of presentation of these videos. That's why I always say, start with the very first video and watch them in order. Every woman who does that realizes immediately why I implore them to do it that way.
But you can be sure that I am going to give you a full toolkit with which to make the rest of your life the best of your life.
My doctors never explained any of this when i had bone loss im so mad
to them it's just "cosmetic" and to be honest ( at least my gynecologist was , they are not taught any of this , they could not care less about this "aspect" ..even doctors have "prejudices" about what "aging' women are supposed to be and look like ...
Your videos are amazing!! I love the way that you explain the various phases of menopause in such depth. It’s helping me to have a better understanding of what’s going on with my body. Thanks so much!! ☺️
You are so very welcome, my dear. I love giving you the menopause education you deserve.
I'm new on this channel very informative . I'm 51years old and officially last year menopausal. I have seen all the symptoms you described here and fir the last 5 months my hair even so look healthy my scalp is dry and looks like I have dandruff 😭 but the doctor said isn't the bacteria it's hormonal . I never had problems with my hair or my skin well thank God for channels like yours Doctor
Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University," Olivia!
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!)
I'm 35 and I started wondering about menopause because I have never heard information from my family. I felt like I needed to inform myself about this subject. And WOW! The way you explain everything! I have learned a lot already. I always heard that menopause causes hot flashes and that's about all the I information I have heard. Thank you
Oh, please, please start at video 1 and watch them all in order, You will be soooooo ready when the time comes.

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.
Uff, I’m learning a lot.... it is very hard this time of a woman’s Life ! I’m suffering almost every symtom
Judith,
I can help you right away with everything if you schedule a one-on-one consultation with me. You needn't suffer, and you definitely have many options to improve your symptoms.
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 confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I would need all these things at least 1 week before your consultation with me.
3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points put the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages.
4) I will send you the document by email at least 24 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth.
5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed.
6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use.
7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and balance their options.
The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got form the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request.
So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively).
I hope to meet you soon!
WHAM! Did you connect the dots for me Dr. Taylor! OMG who knew this? So all of our experiences ladies during menopause is real and explained. Thank you Dr. Taylor :)
The truth makes sense. If you learn ALL the facts and you get this education in order, you will connect dots like crazy. None of this is difficult. It's entirely logical. But fear is the biggest brain paralytic on Planet Earth. Doctors and society have terrorized women so much that they never stop to think about how ridiculous the fear is.
Thank You!!! Appreciate You! Love love your knowledge... I feel better already and armed! Regular physician don’t have time to help us build this knowledge!
Exactly! My goal is to give you the tools with high you can confidently manage your menopause your way ... successfully.
We should be able to speak at congress about how we were dismissed by medical community due to them not prescribing estrogen. I’m pissed off because of this….loss of hair, bones brittle, weight gain at waist, irritated, dry everything and brain health. Now told, but you can’t take it now either!!
I agree. The state of affairs for menopausal women is a complete travesty.
The ironic thing is that menopausal women are the largest group of humans on Earth. If only we acted like it, we could have a menopause revolution.
This video is hilarious! 😂🤣 I mean not that all of these things dry up is hilarious but how you describe them all and your facial expressions too. So funny. The ovary comparison with the almond was great.
Sadly it is all true. I was just telling you in another video a week aloe so ago that I had many of these issues and more. I started my oral estrogen 1-1/2 months ago and I am feeling so much better.
I never realized how important estrogen is to everything. Estrogen is amazing. I am no longer afraid of it thanks to you and this wonderful education.
What is cool about surgery these days is my doctor took a pictures of my insides while she did my sacropoplexy surgery and it all looked pretty good still so I hope taking estrogen keeps me like that!
I am enjoying learning about everything. I know my female parts better now than I have my entire life. 😳
It really is true that most women walk around with their reproductive tract for about 50 years, but don't know the first thing about it. I'm trying to change that.
I'm glad I made you laugh.
Oh my goodness thank u. I was wondering why my eyes and skin is much more dryer then before.
Carla,
I can see that you are watching these videos in random order. You should know that doing so will sabotage your entire menopause education. Please start with video 1 and watch them in order if you want to understand everything. This RUclips channel is really a school: Menopause University!
So depressing when you have been forced into premature menopause against your will 😞
Please let me help you.
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.
I am grateful for this PHENOMENAL info!
You are so kind, and I am so happy to know that you are tuning in to make a very positive difference in the rest of your life. If you watch my videos in order, starting with the very first one, there's no way you won't understand everything. And I respond to these comments here on RUclips daily.
I don’t care what anyone says. I 💕 you Menopause Taylor. No one talks or explains menopause. I have spoken to my “female” gyno about a few things you have said ~ and you info was accurate. But you taught me to ASK; otherwise it would have never been mentioned. Which is sad! I only wish I would have found you sooner! Thank you for all you do!
So, in other words we’ll go, from a grape 🍇 to a raisin! 😦
Sort of!
thanks again Dr
Example; amazon rainforest🌧💦 to the Sahara desert 🐪 🏜 🌵 great 😩👌🏼
This is hilarious!!😂
Great, so basically I’m a prune 😩
You crack me up. I love your light-heartedness.
Thank you, Dr. Taylor! Such valuable info. It taught me why my once super flexible body now acts like a rusty old car, lol. 😊🙏
Well, now you understand. But don't be so hard on yourself.
@@MenopauseTaylor 😘
More reason why at 62I have started taking very low spray, dose of estrogen and a low-dose progesterone at night to help me sleep. I can’t stand my dry, itchy eyes anymore.
Now you know the underlying problem.
Dear Dr. Taylor remember sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me???? This is true peoples words can hurt but that's all they are ARE WORDS your actions speak for themselves!!!! Please do not lose another nights sleep over this. You are helping so many woman however many people say or write nasty comments you must press on and keep educating us!!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart :+)))))
I know you're right. And I thank you for your words. The good that I feel from helping your outweighs the bad that I feel from hearing unkind remarks.
Wow! More things dry up due to loss of estrogen than I thought. I didn’t know they had so much in common. Well, I DO now! I promise to not dry up before I see you again next week!
Thank you so much for the valuable and honest education Dr Taylor 💕 I’m 50 and peri menopausal. I have already got some joint pains even though I take soy isoflavones it’s still not enough. My recent visit to the gynecologist indicated that my ovaries are still ovulating. She said menopause will likely to be in 4-5 years time. I’m wondering if I can start taking some hormones.
You can start taking hormones whenever you want. I have no idea how your doctor (or anyone ) can give you a timeline for when you'll become post-menopausal, though. You can't predict that.
Some women in your situation choose to take birth control pills. Others choose to go ahead and start HRT. Still others choose to do nothing until they become completely post-menopausal.
There are positives and negatives for each of these options. That's what my education is all about ... knowing the positives and negatives as they apply TO YOU.
That's what I do in one-on-one consultations: tailor all the options to YOU.
So, if you ever want a consultation, just go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule one.
Dr Taylor, I truly appreciate your effort and time for uploading these educational videos. Thank you for responding! I’ll look into that :)
I'm always available to help you, Molly.
And, my nurse practitioner says, that’s just about getting older Pam. ???? I started my hormones again. They are compound ed , dissolve in your mouth. Estradiol, progesterone, Dhea. My vagina is falling apart! lol. I’m 69 years young. Dry, itchiness. This is great information. Thank you , Doctor. Taylor. ❤
You are so very welcome. my dear.
Literally having a hot flash as you’re talking about hair. Getting ready to cut it off this week 😢
A lot of women start wearing their hair short at menopause, for a variety of reasons, one of which is hot flashes.
How can we know which estrogen to take for the best health? Is Estradiol best for brain, artery, bone, ovary etc?
Very Educational & it all makes sense! Thank You!!!
Facts make sense. And it's very powerful if you have facts rather than misconceptions and fear.
You truly are fabulous. Have been watching from nr 1. Thank you, greetings from South Africa
Well, I love knowing that these videos are helping you. Thank you so much for telling me.
Great way to describe how menopause works! :-) 💙💙
Well, it's only one facet of it. But, understanding the common threads that explain your symptoms and the diseases that become more common at menopause is very powerful in terms of managing your menopause.
I'm glad you find this helpful.
Well this really sucks! Lol. I’m 57, long hair and not dry. Not much drying up here. I feel great! Doesn’t all have to be so awful. Exercising helps immensely with the way you feel. And not eating too much processed foods. There are ways to get it through it without gaining weight and belly fat! It’s not all down hill!! I personally think our mindset is our worst enemy. HRT does help with the symptoms but there are so many other things we can do about all this. ❤️
Like growing older needs more people to make it sound awful...many have not gotten the blessing to become older, share their wisdom, retirement, etc. This woman blames every ugly bodily function to menopause..however men have gotten the same dry skin, brain fog, harden arteries, etc. Be happy to be alive, positive to watch children become adults..& mess up. And share every day with others..we all will die...at least make the best out of the journey..or at least enjoy being a pain in the ass to others..
I feel like my brain dries up and my nerves are acting up.
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.
Good grief. Please send research backed helps to combat this dreadful reality. We need some encouragement.😣
Allison,
You know I'll give you solutions. Please be patient. You sound very frustrated about the fact that I'm not telling you what you want to hear. You know I give you the truth. And that's the only thing that will enable you to successfully manage your menopause. There are a lot of other people giving you a bunch of hype or scare tactics. I won't do that. You will like some of the facts, and you won't like others. But, I can assure you that, in the long run, you'll be glad I taught you the things you didn't like. (I probably sound like your mother when she said, "You'll thank me later.")
If you want the raid track on anything, or want the solutions NOW just schedule a consultation.
I am 6 years into menopause and have zero of these issues. This all scares me but my hair, skin, joints and vag are in great shape, no dryness. WHY? Why haven't I noticed anything? Please explain this too me! I just found you through Angie but am confused why I seem to have no symptoms.
I didn’t have any symptoms but year 11 look out.
You'll get them. Don't worry it's just a bit later than most other women.
My symptoms came 6 years after my periods ended...
After watching your WHAM videos I am thankful! I will be finishing my 5 years of letrozole soon. What are your thoughts about estradiol etc for non genetic breast cancer survivors. We have all the horrible side effects of menopause, but are SCARED to do hrt.
This is something that requires a one-on-one consultation, Tamar. No two women are alike. It requires addressing all your particulars and assessing your personal benefits and risks. So, if you want a consultation, just schedule it at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Thank you Dr Taylor. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with all of us.
Yeah. That sucks. Lol. I love the wham! Dryness is starting to effect my life badly. Im desperate. What can I do? My hair, my libido, my skin, whats happening? Im 47. Still regular period. I have fibroids. Im willing to try anything known to be effective!!
Schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME and I will tailor everything specifically to YOU to determine all your options. There is no way I can do that in a comment box.
Thanks again and so informative! Is their a time frame when ones goes onto HRT? Does one notice difference over night and also which aspect of all these happens first??
Haven't you watched the videos on The Estrogen Window of Opportunity (numbers 80 - 90)? They explain all about the timing issues. If you watch them in order, you'll really understand.
This is something that you really, really need to get right. There are so many misconceptions ... even by doctors. If you don't know the facts, you'll be dooped for sure.
Terri, you should consider having a one-on-one consultation with me. You've been watching my video from the start, and you deserve to get everything you want for managing your menopause. I can tailor everything TO YOU and make absolutely sure you know how to go about this. You owe it to yourself to get it right.

So are men affected like this?
Men never lose all their testosterone. They have steadily decreasing levels as they age, but they never lose all of their testosterone the way we lose all of our estrogen.
You look great
What a kind thing to say. Thank you, Jane.
Thank you so much for all that you do💞 This is sooooo very helpful to me and to many others I'm sure. You are a gem💎 and I'm learning a lot!!! Thank you once again!!🌺🌸🌻🌷
You are so very welcome. I just love knowing that this education is helping you.
Dr. Taylor, i may have gone on HRT a bit too late. I went on it when i started having hot flashes and horrible awful night sweats. But i noticed my skin getting saggier and much more cellulite (i am not overweight) and haven't seen a reversal of skin integrity on HRT (but complete cessation of night sweats and hot flashes). I am on 1 mg Estradiol daily plus i use a progesterone cream topical (my doc wants me to use 200 mg Progesterone micronized but my emotions don't like too much Progesterone) and i have been on all about 2 yrs. IS THERE NO HOPE for my skin regaining some of its suppleness and some of this belly fat going away? Seems like HRT would have helped some of this but it has not (i know aging cannot be stopped). ALSO... i still have to use Estrogen vaginally which helps immensely. Does this mean i need more oral Estrogen or is this common to need both? Thanks for everything you do.
Your situation sounds entirely normal. You have to realize that, during the time you were not on HRT, the aging of your skin began. And you can't reverse that. But, by taking HRT now, you have slowed the process down tremendously.
Most women hate the side-effects of progesterone. If you need more help with fine-tuning this or finding progesterone options that produce few or no side effects, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Most women need additional estrogen for their vagina no matter how much they are taking for everything else. (I'll teach you a lot more about this in a consultation, too!)
And when it comes to belly fat, there's a bunch to learn. I won't get to the videos on weight gain for a very long time, but if you schedule a consultation, I'll cover that, too. We pack weight on to our bellies at menopause for a bunch of reasons.
Yay...can't wait till next week!!! lol Thank you Dr. Taylor....really...it does make sense.
What kind of treatment is best for vagina atrophy in postmenopause?
It depends on the person and the degree of shrinkage. That's why it requires tailoring.
I am 47 almost 48 and starting to miss my period. Skipping one month here and there. Is this a symptom?
It's the very definition of PERI-menopause. This irregular pattern may go on for months or years. When you have got for 12 CONSECUTIVE months, you will be POST-menopausal. Video 10 covers all of this.
Menopause Taylor thank you. It’s driving me crazy since I don’t use any birth control pills, i never have since I always been able to know my ovulation window. Now I am always scare I might be pregnant. I am watching your other videos. You are an angel full of knowledge.
Keep watching the videos in oder, and you'll understand absolutely everything, my dear.
Its statistically impossible to be be pregnant at 48 and nearly in full menopause. You have no viable eggs left.
Thank You for your honest information.
You are so welcome, Charlotte. I love helping you, and you can always count on getting the truth and the whole picture from me.
It's easier to ask what doesn't dry up at menopause lol.😊
Great video, thanks for all your hard work and the information 💙
I have heard that Estriol cream is the best for external use but do you think that estroidial cream is best? If so is there a brand that is best? And if so can it be used daily?
Nothing is "best" for all women. "Best" is a marketing term. All that matters is what's best for YOU. And to determine what's best for YOU, you ignore everything you've heard and listen to your own body.
EsTRIol is the estrogen produced by the placenta to support a fetus. It has no benefit for you at all.
Will estrogen reverse Atrophic vag? Or just stop it from getting worse? 😬
Gabino Barrerra It can reverse it!! I’ve been studying
Lovely explanation, thank you Dr.Taylor these were really helpful.
I'm so glad you find this useful. Keep watching, my dear.
Can’t wait to follow the rest of this series. Excellent video!
I'm so glad you're learning what you need to know to understand what happens at menopause. I love making these videos for you.
Angry. Love you.
This education will help you prevent all this. And if you want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, all you have to do is schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.I do them all online.
Hi. You look tremendous. We are the same age and I stopped taking HRT almost 3 years ago. My arm skin is now beginning to sag and is wrinkled and I'm in menofog land. What is your secret, Dr. Barbie? Is it HRT?
Well, I don't think I have any "secrets." I do take estrogen replacement. I had surgical, premature menopause at the age of 34. So I've been postmenopausal for a loooooooong time.
I'm also vegan, and have been for 44 years. Other than that, I don't do anything particularly special other than avoiding the sun.
My eyes are very dry x
You are not alone, my dear. But at least you have a bit more understanding as to why they're dry.
With ALL "DUE" Respect, I fixed my own "Dry Eye Syndrome" I researched medical journals, English language and Italian. Everything I could translate effectively. I found a recipe for DAKRINA EYEDROPS. I COMPOUNDED MY OWN. I used two bottles of Systane Eye Drops, ground 100 mg. DHEA, put it in suspension into the EYEDROPS. Refridgerated all of it and used Clean Technique. Instilling into each eye two drops and waiting. Carefully wiping out the residue with saline soaked Q tips and taking 50 to 100 mgs. Of DHEA EVERY OTHER DAY BY MOUTH. I GOT WELL. SJOGREN'S SYNDROME STOPPED, COLD. But then, I was DESPERATE as my eyes were already ULCERATING. HOUSTON'S A-HOLE DOCS WERE REALLY SH+TTY TO ME ABOUT IT. THEY WERE VERY CONTROLLING AND ANGRY I WOULDN'T LET THEM OPERATE. JERKS...
Oh my! I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with doctors. And I'm very happy that you found your own solution.
Hi Dr. Barbie, just wondering why men, as tbey age, also increase their risk for heart attacks as well as brone breakage (though not as much as women) and alzheimers. You taught that it is the estrogen that keeps our arteries soft and pliable ( and keep the density of our bone). If men dont have estrogen, and dont suffer its' loss in aging, why are they prone to heart attacks and alzheimers?
On another note, i just did my second dexa, have my overall t score, (which has significantly gone down since last test), but the particulars for each specific area will only be sent in two weeks. Is that info important, that is, should i wait till the two weeks to include it in a consultation with you, or is it enough to have the overall t score?
Bless you for all that you do.
No disease has only one risk factor. If you watched the videos in the heart attack unit, you learned the the list of risk factors for a heart attack includes about 16 factors. You cannot attribute all heart attacks in women to estrogen loss and ignore all the other risk factors. And men have a long list of risk factors that do not includes loss of estrogen.
When you schedule a consultation, you will have only 5 days to submit all your information to me. I will not address anything you do not submit in advance. This is a strict protocol. So, wait until you have the entire report of your results in hand before scheduling.
I look very forward to meeting you and helping you, my dear.
Dr.Barbie, you are truly amazing. Not only do you make these incredible, educational videos for the benefit of women worldwide, you also answer every question posted! Thank you for your informative response. I haven't gotten to the videos on heart attack yet (I am watching them in order, as instructed 😊), but will be sure to look for them to understand the concept more fully.
I am anxious to meet with you and have dreams almost every evening about my disease risks, i really hope HRT can be a solution for me. I will be patient and wait out these 2 weeks until I have all my test results. Love, love, love all these videos.
@@lainrich Your enthusiasm is what motivates me. I just love giving you this education. I am so eager to meet you.
Omg 😳 lm 49 l missed my first period mother nature don't play
Get this education NOW! Better yet, have a consultation with me(which you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME) before you waste years being miserable and clueless.
This video 100% acute Im glad i found your channel subbed
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!)
Does severe vagina shrinkage happen during menopause or does just shrinks alittle? And what about the uterus does that shrink too?
A vagina deprived of estrogen shrinks tremendously. The uterus does not shrink.
@@MenopauseTaylor oh okay thank you, I thought all the reproductive organs shrink in size during menopause 😅
@@MenopauseTaylor okay and when you say vagina shrinkage you're talking about the opening and the vagina canal shrinks too right?
Dr. Taylor, I had a phone consult with you today at 1 pm and it is now 1:24 pm. I don't know another way to get in touch with you as the phone number on your website is no longer in service. I already paid for the session on March 5th! HELP! C.O.
Hi Dr. Taylor,
As usual, another informative and timely video. I have been post menopausal for two years now and have been on the lowest dosage of the combipatch during this time. I called my gynecologist for a refill and her nurse was kind enough to send that through, but only gave me a 3 month supply (as opposed to a full year). She mentioned that I needed to set up my annual visit and I am hoping that this is the only reason...that my gynecologist just wants to make sure that all is well before okaying the remaining prescription. I do remember her saying initially that she wanted to keep me on the lowest dosage for the shortest period of time. I hope this won't be a visit where she tells me she will no longer prescribe it for me (I do not take any medicines of any kind other than the combipatch and calcium pills). I am going in prepared with a list of reasons to stay on it as per your fabulous tutorials just in case. I hope that I am just being paranoid, but you never know. Fingers crossed! Again, thank you for always being so supportive and a wealth of valuable information!!!!
Maria,
If you really want to be prepared, schedule a one-on-one consultation with me BEFORE your appointment. You really need to know the guidelines that doctors follow and how the system works if you want to get what you want. There are sooooo many pitfalls that you can't even imagine.
For instance, the mantra "Take the lowest dosage for the shortest period of time," which I've covered in several videos (most recently video 130) is one that you NEED to know about from this education. There are many other nuances.
I will prepare you so that you know exactly how to go about getting what you want.
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 confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I would need all these things at least 1 week before your consultation with me.
3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points put the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are 25 - 30 pages.
4) I will send you the document by email at least 24 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth.
5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed.
6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use.
7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and balance their options.
The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got form the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request.
So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively).
Maria this is frustrating. Women should be able to decide for themselves when or if they want to stop taking HRT. It is your body and if you know the benefits and risks it should be up to you. Personally I would fire a doctor that didn’t respect that. Hopefully your doctor will be supportive.
@@MenopauseTaylor Maria, You will experience Everything Dr Taylor just explained .
No Dr spends the amount of time preparing for your session, during your consultation or after!
Holding your hand for as Long as needed.
I know first hand how much Dr Taylor 's consultations has done for me.
Angel
@@graysonwalley318
Thank you for your caring comment. I will hope for the best and am actively looking for menopause specialists here in Tucson just in case. I am hoping that she is willing to work with me though as I really like her and her nurse in an amazing person. Fingers crossed!
Maria ()"o)
@@angelmuscledoc
I agree with you 100%. I will definitely consider taking Dr. Taylor up on her kind offer of a consultation. Take care!

These facts are very depressing . In Britain you are unable to take Hrt if you have had ovarian cancer. Yet if I don’t My life appears to be unbearable , if I do I may get cancer - completely no win situation !!!!
The options available for managing menopause are different for every single woman. And NO woman is without options. If you want me to help you find options that are appropriate for you, I can do that. I teach about all the options in all categories: Diet, Exercise, Lifestyle, Vitamins, Minerals, Botanicals, Herbs, Acupuncture, Hypnosis, Hormonal Medication, and Non-Hormonal Medications.
If you want me to help you, just schedule a one-on-one consultation with me.

This is an excellent video. Well executed. Very informative. I really learned a lot. Things I have been experiencing make sense now. I didn't know estrogen was the body's lubricant. I really enjoy your videos. Always a wealth of information & put in a way that anyone could understand. Thank you for sharing this.
I am past that "window" you mentioned for taking estrogen. My plan was to begin taking a natural cream with progesterone (wild yam) and estrogen (red clover extract). Instructions say to use it every day for 25 days but I think I'll use it 3 times a week, and use natural progesterone alone on the other days. Am I in danger taking a natural source also, or is this as dangerous as taking the synthetic versions the dr. gives you?
Donna,
These products are nowhere near as effective or as "dangerous" as pharmaceutical products. But you still need to know what you're doing. It sounds to me like you're creating your own regimen. Wouldn't you like to have a one-on-one consultation with me to make sure you know everything you need to know to succeed?
The real issue is understanding all the OTHER things you need to do to compensate for the fact that you can't take estrogen.

@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you so much for your reply! I only now saw it (RUclips did not notify me that you replied :( ....) That sounds wonderful....will have to check into the fees as we are on a fixed income these days and it's very tight. Not in any kind of a health crisis at the moment so will have to weigh the cost vs. my needs ;) Love that you make yourself and your vast knowledge available to women on your channel...thanks so much! Blessings! Donna
I'm here whenever you need me.
Hahaha.....I like you
Well, I like you, too!
Excellent information, as always! I developed burning mouth syndrome with the onset on menopause, I was stymied until my dentist helped me figure it out. It stinks! Lol. I still get flares of it, 12 post menopausal. Thank you, as always...I love you Dr. Barbie!
I love you, too, Cindy. Many women get the sensation of dryness in their mouth as a burning tongue, just as the get the sensation of vaginal itching in their vaginas.
What Fun! Thanks found my self going yep yep yep!
But, remember, I will be giving you many options for all these things. Here, I'm just making sure you understand the principle behind why so many things dry up.
OMG 😱 I'm going to become a dried up prune😳😖😵😲😫😭
No! I'll teach you how to manage each and every one of these things. This video is just to get you to see the common thread.
How to cure dryness?? Any natural remidy for Astrogen?
Vaishali,
There are many different options for every woman. However, finding your best options requires tailoring all the options to YOUR particular needs and desires. That's what I do in one-on-one consultations. If you'd like to schedule one, I'll be happy to help you using any options you prefer. I'll tell you al the advantages and disadvantages of each, and I'll make sure you know what to expect from each.

So, if my ovaries are the size of an almond (and "can't be felt in an exam") and I don't have a uterus or cervix anymore (total hysterectomy), do I still need vaginal exams at 60 years old? I've been taking estrogen for almost 6 years now (hitting that "estrogen window of opportunity") and am not sure when I should stop. I have watched and loved every one of your videos!! Thanks, Dr. Taylor! Sending you love from Egypt!
I have burst out laughing, looking at your face expression when you compared ovaries with almonds!!! What doesn’t dry up? The funniest video of the whole series! And another brilliant comparison of a sport sock and a torn piece of stocking, including the last comment! Still laughing )))
Well, can you think of anything that doesn't? Keep watching these videos. You'll learn that your bladder doesn't
dry up. Instead, it leaks!
Menopause Taylor You do make me laugh!!! Good sense of humor!!! I’ve been watching all your videos and can’t thank you enough for what you do for us, aging women with shriveled up bits... If other people want to remain in the dark and not get depressed - that’s their choice. I’d rather face the reality and laugh against all odds!
You have the right attitude. The way I see it, menopause is the most powerful time in your life. Never before could you choose options to manage things your way. I call it "menopower."
Menopausal women are the fastest growing sector of society. If women would wake up to the fact that they can have things their way and demand more, the status of menopause in the world would change. But as long as women are ignorant or in denial, nothing will improve. It's kind of like the situation with the Me Too movement.
My eyes have dried out terribly. Was diagnosed with Dry Eye two years ago.
Exactly. That's a problem for the majority of women.
Me too I hate it
Hi Dr. Barbie. Another great informative video. I restarted HRT at the age of 61 last year in June and am on the estradiol patch .05mg/day along with oral progesterone 100mg. My skin is still SO dry and I also use Restasis for dry eyes. I replace my patch every Monday and have observed that about 2-3 days before replacement I get migraines and feel PMSee. My short-term memory is also not good either. From your experience, is this pretty common or does it sound like my estradiol needs to be increased? Thanks for your thoughts!
It sounds like your body is talking to you. Your situation is precisely the kind of thing I address in one-on-one consultations. I'll be happy to help you if you schedule one, because it requires taking many things into consideration that we cannot address here.

Of course it is. But my goal is to give you multiple ways to manage it. And the first step in managing it is understanding why you have it in the first place.
😀😀😀

Thank you so much for this info!/ I don't know if there is any hope for me,because I passed the window of opportunity, but for my daughters,and granddaughters,there is hope!
There's always hope for every woman. The options may be different, but no one is out of options.
I’ve been in menopause for 3 years and taking hrt for 2 years. Currently using a .05 estradiol patch and progesterone. Most of my symptoms are under control but still some vaginal dryness and my skin and hair are a mess (it seems as though this happened very quickly). I’ve been diagnosed with osteopenia so osteoporosis is a big concern. I’m wondering if I would benefit from a higher dosage or another type of hrt. Thanks for your commitment to menopause women!!
Angie, in a much earlier video, Dr. Barbie has a minimum estrogen and progesterone chart you can download. Go to her videos and search estrogen chart. Hope you find it!
Thank you
It's my pleasure.
Hi dr Taylor, love ❤nd regards
I saw this vedio very early morning nd it's after nun nd I am still sad nd depressed in spite of knowing all the facts. Estrogen is the fact that make us what we are. No wonder we do not remain what we r after we loose it😟
WHAM!!
Thank you so much 🏝🌴🤗
It's my pleasure. I love helping you.
Hello. I just moved to Dallas and I would like someone here to recomend a professional that can help me alleviate with my menopause symptoms. Please share any information. Thank yoU!
All these symptoms of dryness are real...because of estrogen loss.What should we be taking to combat the dryness.
Try bioidenticals, there's also food you can eat. There's a lot of ways.
There are options for each of these in many different categories. And I'll eventually cover each and every one of them in detail. This video is to make you aware of the common thread that causes all of them.
Thanks very much for this. Can I just ask...if you take HRT straight after hitting menopause will your ovaries and vagina still shrink?
You vagina will not. Your ovaries will. But you want your ovaries to shrink. The reason they shrink is because they are no longer your egg or hormone factory. If you take HRT, you will have estrogen, but it will not be coming from your ovaries.
All die at 68 ha ha
This video makes me want to crack a bottle of rum and have a drink.
Aunt Flo and her nasty cyst friend was evicted. Doc prescribe estrogen replacement 10 weeks later.....
I don't miss Aunt Flo, the cyst, or early stage cancer.....I'll just stick with estrogen that won't raise my blood sugar too much until I can't take it anymore
You make me laugh!

@@jeanetteraichel8299 You crack me up! You're so funny.
What can I take ? If not estrogen. Help me.
You should schedule a one-on--one consultation with me. I can definitely help you and make sure you know all your options. But that's impossible to do here in this comment box.
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 confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I would need all these things at least 1 week before your consultation with me.
3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points put the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are 25 - 30 pages.
4) I will send you the document by email at least 24 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth.
5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed.
6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use.
7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and balance their options.
The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got form the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request.
So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively).
Oh my goodness how pessimistic and depressing listening to you
I'm sorry. But understand that this video is merely to make you aware of the common thread of things that dry up. There are multiple options for managing each and every one of them. And I'll be presenting them all to you in every category: Diet, Exercise, Lifestyle, Vitamins, Minerals, Botanicals, Herbs, Acupuncture, Hypnosis, Hormonal Medication, and Non-Hormonal Medications. Stay tuned.
Menopause can be the very best part of your life. But you have to know facts like these in order to even begin to make it so.
nobody felt good about this video...it is so depressing
Have you heard of the saying 'forewarned is forearmed' We cannot avoid menopause, so if you watch all her videos you will realise that she has a solution for everything. Her videos will allay your fears. Believe me it can be a time of freedom. I know, I'm already in it; and life is good!
Hair!!!!!!
Lol, this video is depressing.
Well, just remember that I'll be giving you options for managing all of these things when I get to them individually. If you want help with that in the meantime (or anything else), you can always schedule a one-on-one consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Melissa Aklin I agree lol.. I can’t watch it all... I’m drying up listening to the high pitch in some places... lol..she seems like a lovely lady but I want to be more like Madonna 😀
You make me laugh. I'm nothing like Madonna. But I'm glad you're here.
