I love this lady.she always make me feel happy and good about myself
That is just the sweetest thing to say. Thank you so much, my dear.
My 82 year old mother was on HRT back in the day and they took her off several years ago because of the HRT scare mongering. I didn't know anything about this until I became old enough to need to start looking into it. She has lost probably 3 inches in height and just looks tiny. Thankfully she has not had any fractures, but it proves to me that HRT is essential to maintaining bone health and strength. It's too late to help her now, but I won't let myself age like that! Incidentally, when I asked her if she was on HRT and she told me they took her off of it, she got very concerned and tried to lecture me when I told her I was going on it. That scare mongering really did a number on a generation of women!
My mother is 89 and still on HRT. Her doctor keeps wanting to take her off it, but fortunately she is adamant about staying on it. She is very healthy for her age despite painful arthritis and only takes blood pressure pills besides HRT. No sign of dementia or osteoporosis, heart disease. I am now on HRT and loving it, wild horses won't get me off it either. I'm so sorry your mother was taken off it, so unfair.
@@jayneread2178 what state do you live in?
Wow! So sorry!
@@jayneread2178 what is the name of HRT which is taken by you and your mother and what is recommended doses.
@@jayneread2178 you and your mother is still going for annual testing while on HRT
I have been sharing you with my nurse friends and on FB. Sooooo glad I found you! Amazing educator!!!!
This entire video series is life changing. I watched every video, had a consultation with Dr. Taylor, scheduled an appointment with my healthcare provider, and ultimately determined the best course of action for me. I feel empowered and confident enough to make decisions that are exactly right for me. Thank you beyond all measure.
This is exactly my goal: for you to know what you want and get what you want. I'm very proud of you.
I wish doctors would watch your videos. I was told Ethinyl estradiol like the ones in birth control and in some HRT causes heart disease and bone loss. After watching your videos I see that’s not true. It’s sad when the medical profession scares women like this. I was happy to see that form of estrogen is protective. Thank you!
A real education will empower you to advocate for yourself and avoid falling for scare tactics. That's why I'm on a mission to teach YOU what you need to know. Nobody will ever take care of you better than you take care of yourself.
We have met a few dingo/mix pets very cool dogs I'm very happy for you what a great experience. Thank you for helping these wonderful animals
Nobody I known who uses Testosterone, including myself has experienced negative side effects. I’m on what’s considered a high dose for women and my blood levels are around 200 which is where I feel best. Zero side effects. Testosterone is the female’s most abundant hormone. It’s made by both ovaries and adrenals and necessary for estrogen to be produced.
All that matters is what works for YOU. And as long as you know what each option CAN do and CANNOT do, you will be happy in the long term. But using yourself and your circle as scientific evidence is a huge mistake.
The great thing about this education is that you can use it (or refuse it) as you please. There is nothing that is right for all women. We are not robots.
You never have to justify your choices to anybody. My goal is to empower you to manage YOUR menopause YOUR way ... and allow all other women to do the same.
I wish doctors would tell there patience’s there T score and there estrogen levels , please doctors practice what you PREACH! 👩🏼🔬
Dr Taylor you look gorgeous today 💚
What a sweet comment. Thank you, my dear.
Estrogen has been life changing for me as well as this education you are giving us. Your videos got me to start taking estrogen last year. I had no ide about these diseases until I started watching your videos.
Thank you Dr. Taylor.
AS ALWAYS THE BEST TEACHER EVER
You are such a sweetheart. Thank you for appreciating my efforts.
@@MenopauseTaylor You deserve your channel be very known.I always post your channel links as a best reference
@@nadajabbar921 Well, thank you so much, my dear. I love having your help.
Thanks!
It's my pleasure!
..I have to let you know many of the charts are blank. (224, 228, 228, 230, 174...and some more unfortunately). THANK YOU so much for the hard work you have put into making this wonderful class for us.
Thank you for all your data driven information! One thing to note - are your teeth (though not technically bone) affected too? Do women suddenly get cavities and demineralization even though their dental routine hasn’t changed?
Teeth are usually unaffected. It's trabecular bone (the kind in your spine, hip, and wrist) that are most affected. I taught you this very early in this unit.
WOW great information thank you so much for explaining all this stuff in detail I was unaware of this thyroid calcium connection very helpful. I agree that all women deserve a bone density test before 65 but will insurance cover it I certainly hope so even if it's not in family history since we're not our mothers or grandmothers we are all different. I appreciate all this information so much thank you for this amazing service to women
If your insurance doesn't cover it, you should gladly pay for it yourself. It's only about $200 - $300. It could save you a fracture of your spine or hip.
I am enjoying and learning a lot from your videos. Just keep in mind l,oss of estrogen is not the only reason for bone loss. I have osteoporosis from steroid use due to inflammatory bowel disease.
If you watch my videos in order, you will see that I give you the long list of risk factors for each and every disease. Steroids are on the list for bone loss. (In this osteoporosis unit, I covered this in video 203.)
Hi Dr. Taylor, thank you for the very important information you are providing to help women! Thanks in part to your channel and findi g a good hormone Dr., I have been on BHRT since 1 year post-meno. I am 58 and just had first DEXA and -3.1 in spine! I'm DEVASTATED. My hormone doc says maybe from the one year in meno w/out HRT. Do you think its possible to lose that MUCH bone in one year? Or should I be chasing down another possible cause? I already have scheduled with an Endocrinologist, and I will definitely be scheduling a two hour consultation with you.
I am waiting for bloodwork results and in the process of gathering all my existing medical records to submit to you with the questionnaire. In the meantime I'm very curious if you think one year untreated meno can cause that much bone loss? Thank you in advance!
I look forward to meeting you and helping, you, my dear. Be sure to have your consultation with me BEFORE seeing any other doctor in order to avoid pitfalls that are built into the system.
Love listening to you Dr Taylor, I live in Ireland where we’re almost in the dark ages, regarding menopause, but things are getting better 💕
I spoke at the first menopause clinic in Ireland for Menopause Day last year. Just a week ago, I did a live video conference with them. Ireland is rally doing its part in changing attitudes and awareness on menopause.
Masterfully 🎉🎉 🥂✌🏼
Thank you, my dear.
I find this depressing if you missed the window of opportunity
But, Karen, you should schedule a consultation with me to find out if you really have missed the window. It's not about time per se. It's about how your heart arteries have aged. I have consultations with women all the time who are delighted to discover the they are still great candidates for HRT. So, don't assume you aren't eligible based on the 5 - 10 years alone. Schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
@@MenopauseTaylor has always
Dr. Taylor, i really like how you indicate this is the “minimum necessary dosage” that should help us with the nagging feeling or the wrong idea of “taking too much estrogen” as well as when a doctor mentions to the to take “the lowest dose possible” it makes us think like that’s a good thing !
Well, feeling like a lower dosage is better is the result of fear.The only opinion that matters is YOUR OWN BODY'S. So if you take HRT and still have any symptoms of estrogen deficiency, that's your own body telling you it's not enough.
And if you take HRT and you continue to lose bone, that's your own bones telling you that you don't have enough estrogen.
It's all really just so simple. But that's the thing about fear. It makes people blind to even the simple things.
@MenopauseTaylor do you have faith in the accuracy of blood tests to determine our estrogen level while on HRT? If this is covered in one of the videos I may have missed it - can you please point me to which # if it is? Many thanks for your great content!
Such a great video! I think I say that about all of your videos...
This was outstanding and educational...even for men!
I heard those exact words when first starting Estrogen...let’s start with the smallest dose to stop your hot flashes and then wean off by 5 years.
So glad I found you in the nick of time after being scared to death by physicians AND sabotaged by other women.
I have the facts (while still attending Menopause University) and can make informed decisions about how I want to manage my menopause and be as healthy as I can.
I love you and hope you have a lovely week. See you next time! XO~Maria
Maria,
One of my greatest joys is knowing that I have made a positive difference in your life. You are just such a wonderful person, and I want you to have the best of everything you want.

Yes, that's right.
Stay bless sweetie
Hey thanks that's not a bad price I have spent more than that on my pets medical care I can definitely cover such a worthwhile expense if necessary
Exactly! Most women spend that much on their hair and make-up each month (although I wouldn't know because I do nothing at all to my hair and don't wear makeup)
Dr Taylor, because of your wonderful videos, I had a bone scan a month ago and I have osteoporosis. I just turned 59 and almost 9 years menopausal. I began 70 mg of a biophosphonate weekly and today I start Climara Pro Patch. Is the Climara sufficient? Thank you so much.
This is yet another thing that requires a consultation. You asked if the Climara Pro Patch is "sufficient." Sufficient for what?
This is the kind of thing that I will make crystal clear in your consultation ... all tailored to YU.
What about dhea supplementation for osteoporosis?
DHEA is a precursor for testosterone. So everything I said about testosterone pertains to DHEA, although DHEA is weaker than testosterone in every way.
she has already done videos about that! But she says you still need estrogen. And I took supplements before my fracture and had to start estrogen! Without it you can get a fracture.
Scary to think of going on it without a uterus or cervix--when you have a family history of heart disease and stroke....
I fail to understand what you are trying to say here. It doesn't make any sense.
No one EVER said YOU shouldn't take something because SOMEONE ELSE had a disease.
Ok third time lucky with trying out HRT, I am putting my HRT patch back on now! I just don't like the bloating it causes while your body is adjusting but I think it is time to be bloated, happy and no longer osteopenia. Thank you so much for your advice and help from all of your videos I have been watching from the beginning, I am determined to watch all your videos up to date 🫶 xoxo You always look so amazingly awesome, I feel so grateful to have found you on here, you are so inspirational xoxo if the world was full of people like you it would be a better place!
You are so very kind, my dear. I love educating you on menopause. And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME
@susannahjones8462 you might want to try HRT without the testosterone. My doc kept wanting me to take testosterone, but I found it made me bloated and puffy. It just didn't agree with me. So now I take a daily estradiol pill and separate progesterone pill, both bio-identical, and I feel great on them! Plus a LOT cheaper than the pellets and patches. Ask your doc. If he won't provide options without Testosterone, find another doc.
I am going to schedule an appointment but I was wondering what procedure or test is used to see how my arteries have aged?
If you want to assess the status of your heart arteries get a basic cardiac workup. Any cardiologist can give you a simple EKG and stress test. And if you want more than that, they can do a echocardiogram to assess the pumping action of your heart. If there's an indication of blockage, they an do an angiogram to determine the degree.
These tests will give you proof and confidence about the status of your heart.
@@MenopauseTaylor is this required for me to be able to take estrogen
@@karanj1209 No, it's not required. It' just for your own peace of mind if you so desire.
Every time I ask my doctor(s) about HRT they say no. why would you want to? you want your menses back? So I haven't. It's been 11 years since menopause and I feel they advised me wrong. I just came across your channel. What would be my best recourse? I am assuming it is too late for me since I passed that 10 year limit.
Jay,
Do not assume it's too late. Please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will tailor all the facts specifically to YOU, determine your options, and school you in precisely how to go about getting exactly what you want to manage your menopause. You probably have more options than you can possibly imagine.
I always enjoy and learn from your content. Thanks for sharing
You are so very welcome, my dear.
Thank you Dr. Taylor for such valuable information. On the chart you provided for recommended estrogen dose - in your opinion, can taking HRT in menopause cause breast cysts?
Cynthia,
Remember, your breasts have been responding to estrogen and progesterone since you went through puberty. They don't know the difference between your own hormones and HRT. They just say, "Hey, those hormones that made us do our thing are back, so let's do our thing."
If you were prone to breast cysts before you became post-menopausal, you may remain so afterward if you take HRT. But if you take HRT in a continuous regimen rather than a cyclic regimen, you are less likely to have any cysts simply because there is no hormonal rollercoaster.
If you want my help with your menopause management, please don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME
Should I go to my PCP or OB/GYN for estrogen?
You can use either. Your Ob/Gyn is likely to know more about menopause.
If you want to avoid pitfalls (of which there are many), have a consultation with me FIRST, BEFORE seeing any doctor. I will school you in precisely how to navigate the system to get what you want. It is not as straight-forward as it may seem.Go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule.
Thank you, Dr. Barb. Please teach us how to prevent or treat meno-brain.
I will. The next big unit is Alzheimer's. In it, I'll address this. Then, when we get to the symptoms, I'll give you a whole unit on meno-brain.
Ok I’m a bit confused. I’m only in perimenopause. I read somewhere that a woman is just losing progesterone in this stage, is that right? So I will ask for progesterone but should I still ask for oestrogen as well at this stage or does a woman not generally lose oestrogen yet perimenopause? I realise I have to ask for it when I reach menopause. Thanks.
The problem is that you can never know exactly (pr even approximately_ where you are in the process of transition during peri-menoause. It's a transition that takes 2 to 10 years.
If you focus on only progesterone, you will miss your opportunity to recognize loss of the hormone that matters: Estrogen.
Please consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will make it all so much easier and comprehensible for you, and tailor it all specifically to you. I do them all online.
@@MenopauseTaylor Many thanks. I’m sorry I cannot afford a consultation, but I’m going to the doctor in two weeks to go on HRT. I keep postponing it until I’ve seen all of your videos and finished reading your book again. I’m taking notes this time.
@@smileygirl1742 I'm here if you need me, my dear.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you ❤️
Hi Taylor. I'm in perimenopause and have been prescribed a low dose hrt from my doctor. Do you consider pharmaceutical hrt from my GP as safe as bioidentical hrt. There seems to be a trend here in UK that bioidentical is safer but it's not a route I can financially afford. Is a regular hrt prescribed from my GP just as safe. Thank you if you can reply x
Oh my, Katy,
You have some huge misconceptions about a wide variety of things.
I can't even begin to correct them all here.
Your use of the word "bioidentical" is entirely incorrect. Your assumptions about "safety" are incorrect.
And you really deserve to understand these things fully before you delve into your menopause management. I can help you avoid pitfalls. Please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I promise you will be so glad you did.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thanks Taylor. Unfortunately I lost my job recently so can't afford a consultation. Thanks for replying
@@katythompson7648 I'll be here when you need me.
And check social media and my newsletter because I have give-aways regularly. You might win a free consultation.
Never heard of ethyl estradiol bc pills with those high dosages! Highest is 0,04mg here. And I know no physchian will help me with the higher dosages. Still no one seems to know the right doses to prevent bone loss. This all stresses me terribly!
I can help you get what you want in a consultation. It's not as easy as it should be!
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.
@MenopauseTaylor Oh I'm so sorry for this late reply! I guess that you're prescribing via these video appointments to? We have the Atlantic between us and unfortunately wouldn't any prescription from another country be ok here.
But if you have a little time, I would be very happy if you could answer a few questions: 1. Test-levels on BC comes out very low BUT STILL they are supposted to be the most potent estro we have.
I can't find the logic in that?
I know that ethylene estradiol turns into some other types of estro but where are they "hiding" then? We get levels like post menopause women and that feels really wrong for us in need for vitality, strength, muscles, a strong skeleton, good hair, sexual functions, no bodily pains, drive etc. Because you always hear that BC floods your body with estrogene. Reality=Miniscule, very old lady levels. Do we get any benefits at all from BC-levels, like for bones ex?
2. Are the test- levels on HRT much higher? They are supposted to be weaker than BC..?
I don't get it!
3. I got terrible sick after a forced BC stop, crashed down into postmenopaus
with no production of my own, no estro/testo and a half ok progesteron. The physician never told me about external hormones as a smoother transistion, I was not educated and left with no sex hormones at all, in any form. My body RAPIDLY deteriorated.
Became an old, very sick, brittle grandma in two weeks. Hairloss, teeth problems, bodily pains, sexual dysfunctions, muscle loss, deeply depressed etc etc.
Started stronger BC once again, after 4 months without menstruation and zero estro/teso but got a DVT after only two weeks... Here I stand again, still severely sick from the hormone crash last time, (got hypothyroidism at the same time too..) REFUSING to not have some form of enough estrogen!
What is correct: One physician said that I could continue BC with bloodthinners, one said that EVERYTHING with estro was dangerous, (testogel ok), but serious sites online told me that patch, spray and gel isn't a highten clot risk.
And again, as long as you take bloodthinners with your BC, everything is alright.
What IS the truth?
Last question 4.
I have Lenzetto and Provera, at home now. What dose is needed for great bone and muscle health? (I used to heavy-lift).
The doses confuse me very much and how to compare all the products to each other. Because I took 0,035mcg ethylene estradiol BC and can't risk to fall down to hell again by taking something LOWER. How many Lenzetto sprays equals my BC, for a smooth transition?
Taken 4 sprays today, 10mg Provera and 5mg testosteron.
I hope you understand my, a bit messy, tired questions. And would REALLY APPRECIATE if you could sort this out once and for all. I want my life back! 😢
Thank you! ❤
Can't believe it...
I wrote you a long message and it disappeared...😢
Had such important but still unanswered questions.
Well, I'll try again.
Best of wishes!
@@StFrannn I answer comments here on RUclips daily. If I CAN answer your question, I will. If answering it requires a consultation, I'll tell you to schedule a consultation.
I am very grateful for the education you have given and continues to give. I am in perimenopause and you have given me the tools to manage it. I am currently managing my symptoms with 20mcg (.02 mg ethynil estradiol) hormonal birth control pills. Your chart indicates one would need .1-.15mg of ethinyl estradiol per day to prevent osteoporosis. Doesn't seem as if my dosage is high enough to do this? Should I be concerned? Or is perimenopause a different situation altogether?
All birth control pills have adequate dosages to prevent the disease associated with estrogen deficiency. I covered this waaaaaaay back in the early videos.
(I can tell by your question that you have not watched all the videos in order. This is a perfect example of why that will sabotage your entire menopause education.)
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question...and yes I will watch all of your videos! Have a lovely day!
@@Zentiful You are so welcome. my dear. My goal is to ensure that you have a completely logical, thorough menopause education.

Hello Dr Barbie! Thank you for all your wonderful educational videos
How much estrogen doses for the insert pallets?
Oh, Patty,
Pellets are compounded. They don't even qualify for being capable of preventing heart attack, osteoporosis, or Alzheimer's at all.
The entire compounding industry is entirely unregulated. So, if you care at all about preventing any of these diseases, compounded anything is out of the question.
Please consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME before surging ahead with pellets. I want you to be crystal clear about ensuring that your management options will meet your goals.
@@MenopauseTaylorDr. Barbie, Yes! I would love to get a consultation with you!
@@pattyninichuck303 I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
What about who has osteoporosis, and now in risk of breast cancer? Are they both linked to loss of Estrogen?
Estrogen loss causes bone loss.
Breast cancer is not directly related to estrogen.
The diseases that are due to estrogen deficiency are: Heart attack, Osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's.
Be sure to start at video 1 and with them all in order if you want to get the education you deserve. My channel is really "Menopause University." And, like any real education, you have to learn the alphabet before you can learn to read. So each video builds on the last.
So...you can only take estrogen for bones if you're no more than 5 years post menopause??
No, No, No. You have completely misunderstood.
Please, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will ensure that you understand absolutely everything and tailor it all specifically to YOU. I do them all online.

Wouldn't you say having had a mom with menopausal cancer, a menopausal sister with breast cancer (treated), and another sister having died of cancer (not breast-started), be a reason to NOT consider HRT 56 myself?

Greetings Dr! What is your opinion of inserted HRT pellets? I started working with a Dr. who prescribes these. They are very expensive!
And they are a big fad. Pellet pushers are everywhere.
They are compounded, which means they cannot protect your heart, brain, or bones at all. They contain testosterone, which has the side effects of balding, whiskers, acne, weight gain, and aggression. And most of the professionals pushing them know absolutely nothing about menopause.
@@MenopauseTaylor Wow! I didn’t know that compounded estrogen isn’t protective of heart, brain and bones. I missed that. Which of your videos covers this? Thank you!
@@MenopauseTaylor what are the options for increasing libido without testosterone pellets? Are there safer methods of delivery in small doses?
@@MenopauseTaylor Hi, me again. I just watched video #84 covering which estrogens travel throughout the body and treat menopausal diseases. In the chart, subcutaneous pellets are listed in that category. Is the issue not knowing how much estrogen the body is actually utilizing? This doctor, a gynecologist/urologist, claims that blood tests will gage whether the amount/dosage is adequate. My visit to this doctor was initially for incontinence issues and I asked about the pellets touted in a brochure in the waiting room. Thanks for your patience in answering my questions.

I take 2 mg on the alternate day i am 35 years old.
Hi Dr. Taylor. I can't thank you enough for what you have been teaching me since I found your channel. I am 56, have a T-Score of -1.6 (osteopenia) and my gynecologist wants me to start weaning off my measly .5 mg of estradial and 2.5 mg progesterone when I meet with her in a few weeks for my annual visit. I am in great health, am a normal weight, no history of breast cancer or heart disease in my family, I exercise and eat very clean. I would love to know how to approach a dr. with the mindset that all women should be off hormones by their mid 50'S? It seems that I will need to make my case for not only staying on estradial, but (according to your chart), increase the dosage. Any thoughts would be appreciated and I would be happy to schedule a consult if needed. Thank you for all that you do.
I'm sorry to butt in but I am really curious - isn't .5mg quite a high dosage? I am on .1 mg and I thought that was the highest dose available, at least in a patch?
@@suzy1750 I’m sure Nicole is on .05, half of what you’re taking - I’ve been on .1 and have been weaned down to .025 over the past few years - now I’m thinking I need to request an increase, so interested as Nicole is on how to broach that conversation.
@@heatherpomerenke8684 and @Suzy, I just double checked my bottle and I am taking .5mg of estradial in pill form. I raised this question to Dr. Taylor because according to the "minimally necessary dosage chart" in her video, it states that I should be on 1.0 mg...at the very least.
@@nicolek6781 Ah, the difference between patch and pill!
@@nicolek6781 interesting, I didn't realize there was such a difference between patches and pills. It must have something to do with absorption between different methods. Thanks.
I'm happy that I was given estrogen gel 10 weeks after my TAH BSO. I'll be sure to stay on it well into old age. I'm on 0.06 estradiol gel two 1.25g pumps a day, so 2.5x minimum. I've got a referral for a gyno who knows menopause and found her on the menopause organization website. Hopefully I'll get same or more estrogen
I can tell that you feel very confident in your menopause management. And that's what this education is all about.
Hello Dr Taylor! Quick question: From a safety perspective, which is safest: 1) Compounded Bi-est vaginal cream 0.1% (80% estriol/20% estradiol) or 2) Estrace vaginal cream (which I believe is all estradiol) or 3) Vagifem tablets ? Thanks for your expertise!
Thank u. Hugely educational. Much needed information for all women.
Thank you for appreciating my efforts!
What is the ideal amount of estrogen and is the cream form ok…states to blend in 1/2 teaspoon twice day along with progesterone cream 1/4 teaspoon 2wice a day…what is your thoughts on that
Sharon,
Your question reveals a severe misunderstanding of many things. And I cannot even begin to correct them all here. Please consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME and I'll e happy to help you with everything.
If you have early osteopenia, as shown by a dexa scan and are new to taking estrogen, how long should you wait to do another bone density scan?
You should get a DEXA scan every year. Try to use the very same machine every time.
And if you want my help making sure you meet your goals, please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. There is a lot to this that you really need to know if you want to avoid fracturing your hip or spine.
Can you make a video on optimal estradiol and FSH levels on hrt? ❤️ (And for testosterone, and dheas levels as well if you could )
Oh, my. I don't even know where to start here.
You have some very deep misconceptions. I can tell by your question that you definitely have not watched my videos in order, starting with the first one. And that has put you in a situation where I can't explain anything because, for you, it would be like trying to read without knowing the alphabet.
If you want to short-cut, why don't you schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. That's the only way I can give you the information you deserve. And I can tailor it all to you in a consultation, unlike in a video.
@@MenopauseTaylor the dose of hrt maybe great and all, but it can put everyone at a different level
For me personally I have done my research and I like keeping my levels high
However a lot of women don't know about an ideal level and won't even have their estradiol tested. I do plan to listen to your first video :)
@@boplop5406 There is no such thing as a "normal estrogen level" in a post-menopausal woman. By definition, post-menopause is when your estrogen drops to 0 and stays there forever. So if you use labs to determine your estrogen dosage, you are treating the lab instead of treating yourself.
@@MenopauseTaylor I use both labs and symptoms. I know where I feel better at. Ty for your input:)
@@boplop5406 You are very welcome, my dear. As long as you are successfully managing YOUR menopause YOUR way. That's the goal.
Thank you 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so very welcome.
Thank you for sharing you knowledge Dr . You are saving lives with this information
Oh, Elle, I am so glad you recognize the true value of this education. And I applaud you for getting it.
Do we need to take testosterone about 2 years after menopause to help our bones or is HRT enough?
Testosterone is "Papa Bear's" hormone. Estrogen is "Mama Bear's" hormone. You are Mama Bear, not Papa Bear.
Testosterone is to men what estrogen is to women.
So, if you take testosterone, it will boost your sex drive but not your bones.
Never talk in terms of "we." No two women are alike. If you want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, I can do so in a consultation, which you can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thanks Barbie. Very helpful to know. Makes sense.
@@janinedance102 The truth makes sense.
Thank you so much for your education Dr.
I’m premature menopause and I started tiblone ( Livial) 6 month ago I still have bleeding every month and half. My gynaecologist suggest its okay to continue with the HRT just need to stop while I bleed for few days. My question to you please advice me on this also I do run everyday for 30mins but I start to noticed that all my menopause symptoms come back again like hot flash knee pains and dryness do I lose estrogen if I run ? Is exercise cause estrogen loss?
Thank you
PLEASE, please schedule a consultation with me. Your premature menopause is going to affect your entire future in ways you can't possibly imagine. And if you don't get your menopause management right, you will suffer in all sorts of ways.
There is no way I can give you what you need and deserve in a comment box. But, in a consultation, I can give you the entire education and tailor it all specifically to YOU.
Please schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I promise you will be so glad you did.
@@MenopauseTaylor thankyou so much that you get back to me i wii definitely do that soon
@@imtigistgirma2125 I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
Hello Dr. Taylor, what should a 45 y.o.(9 month no period) woman do when ob/gyn advised to start HRT *but* mammogram shows high(est) BI-RADS D breast density? Also, what are your thoughts on low BMI without being nutritionally deprived? Thank you.
This is something that require a consultation. No two women are alike. In order to serve your needs, I have to tailor all the information specifically to YOU. And that's precisely what I do in a consultation. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME.

Yes most.women do spend that much on hair.you look great whatever you do.I get.complemented.on my skin and hair all the time.i only use soap and moisturizer we have free or.low.cost pet care in my area so I don't pay very much for those needs at some point before I'm 60.I think I can handle testing something so important as bone density thanks again
Thank you for your kind compliments my dear. You are learning so much here.
Free pet care....what paradise do you live in?
@@margaretlawrence3385 I live in Portland Oregon it was a paradise when I moved here over 20 yrs ago but that's certainly changed. Free pet care has a catch. All this wonderful hormone info and seeing the health risks from spay/neuter 1st hand we decided not to spay this puppy and it's required for free medical pet care. We can get her puppy shots as they are a bit relaxed about it "fixing" pets right now due to covid but we will probably have to pay for pet care after our dog's 1st yr. We get high quality pet food frequently donated. If you want to discuss this farther I follow Zac George Top.Bullies and Mcane dogs.
@@christinealix7664 interesting, I live in Australia. Doggo parenthood sure ain’t free but what a privilege to meet these astonishing creatures! Happy face!
@@margaretlawrence3385 So it turns out we do have another free pet care option. I have a dear friend who co-parents a dog with her ex and she's arranging for a mobile vet clinic to come to our tiny village and vaccinate her dog, my puppy her sister and the awesomel 4 pack of lab mix security dogs that protect this community. No stipulations required. I'm so thankful and I don't have to play phone tag and go across town. Yes they are wonderful creatures.
Excellent video!
Well, thank you, mu dear.
Thank you so much for this most informative video. Will you be addressing Prolia injections in these videos on bone health?
Of course. I address everything. Just keep watching in order, my dear.
So viewers be wise and beware of fake people and fake herbal doctors, they are all over the internet trying to steal from poor people. I will drop the email of this powerful herbal doctor just in case you want to contact him for help dralieaotor@gmail.com..
