    Hm. I went vegan right after my 41st birthday. I wonder if it will have any effect. It at least made my cycles regular and predictable for the first time in my life. That's been a blessing.

    Vegetarian all my life. Vegan since 40, 46 now and I don't have my period since a year a go, so it is official... I don't think it helps to delay it. But, I think it really helps with symptoms, since I don't have any. No hot flashes, no nothing at all.

    • @Legitimate123
      @Legitimate123 6 месяцев назад +7

      How would you know if it helped to delay it? It could have been earlier if you weren't vegan/vegetarian. There's no way to know with a sample size of 1.

      Some women have no symptoms. Some women have some symptoms for a little while. Some forever. We still have no idea why or how to help those who want to stop having symptoms. I am glad for you but a sample size of 1 is not useful.

    Went through menopause at age 52 1/2. What we hear about menopause: mood swings, hot flashes, brain fog, unable to focus, etc hasn't applied to me (yet). In fact, I've completed a couple of university degrees in the six years since I've gone through menopause. Keeping busy, and keeping my mind and body active, seems to really help. That, and eating a ton of veggies per day.

    Thanks a lot. People please don't worry about things that do not matter and things you cannot control. What matters RIGHT NOW is to immediately only eat 100% whole plants and only drink water, and cut out all cigarettes and alcohol, and cut out all toxins, including animals, drugs, supplements, sugar oil salt, processed foods, and cut out all toxic people. Miracles can occur if you change immediately. God bless!

    huh. Interesting. I have been a whole food vegan for more than 15 years. I went through menopause at 47, earlier than any other woman in my family. I am the only vegan. We have LOTS of estrogen positive breast cancer in our family so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

    So, if a woman wants to postpone her menopause and live cancer free, she would need to be a vergetarian as early as possible, or switch to a veggie diet before she turns 40 to have a chance of reversing the bad effect of meat consumption…

    I have a question! With all the recent influx of information on protein intake for muscle growth and recovery - how do you feel about the "eat a gram of protein per lb of body weight" advice? I have been doing this for a while for muscle growth... but I feel as if its taking up most of my macronutrient intake. However, I am scared if I begin to eat less protein, I will lose muscle mass or slow recovery. This is coming from someone who lifts 6-7 times a week, walk about 10 miles a day (if that info is necessary). What advice would you give?

    • @thesleepinggirl
      @thesleepinggirl 6 месяцев назад +4

      Robert Cheeke wrote a bodybuilding book for wholefood vegan diets. You only need enough protein, not extra. 1-1.5g protein per kg - not lb - of bodyweight is fine. Anecdotally, I got ripped rockclimbing without tracking macros, so… eh. I wouldn’t worry about it, personally!

    I am a huge supporter and fan of vegan docs however I am over MALE vegan doctors taking what is essentially a value position on menopause. The more recent research on HRT is smashing myths re breast cancer etc so it's time for them to come clean and provide people with UPDATED EVIDENCE BASE on HRT and its benefits. No more blokes promoting soybeans etc as an alternative... they might be good but HRT should be discussed and the whole story told.

    That's a ton of data and I'd have to re-watch or read the source papers to really understand, but I'll just say that as mid-30's millennials, my wife can't wait for menopause. I would be impatient, too, if I had a uterus that kept painfully shedding chunks of flesh for roughly 10-20% of my life.
    I guess just like exercise, there's a tradeoff between longevity and comfort.
