It's unfortunate that the challenge lies in finding a professional that is as well-educated and/or willing to work with you. Not everyone is able to handle a doctor who is certain that the information you present them is wrong. So frustrating! But I'm so grateful for all the teaching you provide, Dr. Taylor. Free or not, it's priceless! I'm an RN with 37 years of experience, 12 in OB, and I learn so much from you that I never learned in school or on the job. Thank you so much! 😍
Hi Dr. I have watched all your videos (at least once), purchased your book, asked questions and consulted with my female doctor. She was astounded by what I knew - I told her it was Menopause University. I also take as many opportunities as possible to tell other women that they need to know this education! I’ve now made decisions in my life to manage my menopause my way 💋thankyou 💋
Thanks somuch for this info. My mother is of the belief that menopause is short term . I was raised believing this, until I learned from you that it is for the rest of your life. She is now 91 and has many problems that I think couldbe helped by taking a SERM. But, my sister who just turned 61 doesn't believe so, and she doesn't take estrogen either. I tried to educate her after I learned from your videos! I even shared some of your videos with her, but she closes her mind to them. Well, I do not want to wind up like my 91 year old mom, and have the problems that she has, of forgetfulness, osteoporosis, heart failure, wrinkling, etc. Therefore, I thank you for giving me so much education on this.
For anyone else out there who loves to read comments like me :): The amount of free education I have seen these videos share is remarkable to me. They synthesize and present vast amounts of education, experience. I have gotten hooked on binge watching these videos; truly formative stuff, check out all the videos if you haven't already. I'm gathering all my ducks before asking for an appointment.
This education is priceless! After watching so many of Menopause Barbie videos, I quickly realized she knew what she was talking about. Furthermore, Where else can you go to find someone (an MD, no less) who has done ALL the research for you. She is THE leading authority on menopause and so much more. That is why I quickly booked an appointment with her. Although the news I heard was not what I was hoping for, she set me on an unstoppable path. Dr Taylor is my inspiration to be and do better for myself.
Oh Noel, you are so kind. And it is so good that you are letting other women know that they deserve this education. I love helping you. And I cantle that you love helping them.
Thank you Dr. Taylor. I got on HRT 3 days after our consultation. Wow, I am sleeping. Will be scheduling a follow up after my Dexa scan. You're the best!
So many great things to be learned from your videos....even things I didn't plan! I loved the part about "telling you what to do would substitute my own judgement for yours" this is a great phrase to remember for many aspects of life. Love it!
I have a tendency to plant a few life lessons in this menopause education, don't I! I love knowing that this education is helping you in more ways than one.
Thank you for this video. I am learning and absorbing information in a way that is empowering. I have a long way to go, but I feel like I have a useful tool and helpful resources now, thanks to you.
Thank you for this education Dr. Taylor. You have taught me so much out of the kindness of your heart and wanting to help women in menopause, post menopause and perimenopause. What I think is safe is so many women say they are not in menopause anymore. They do not even say they are in post menopause. I dont think women know. It is so sad to me.
You're a super star! I've learned so much and you are making such a difference. What a gift you are to the world of women and those that love them! I'm perimenopausal and binge watching these videos at a rapid rate! I skipped forward to this one just because the title grabbed my eye and it just happened to be exactly what I needed to hear. #rulebreaker #Illwatchtherestinorder!
I am angry and outraged.....yesterday I saw my GYN, armed with all the education and information I have learned from you, Dr Taylor. She straight out said, “You’re too late for HRT. I can prescribe Paxil or Effexor for your symptoms, but at 4 years post-menopause it’s too late.” She went on to cite the WHI report and how the other benefits of HRT have not been proven to be benefits at all. When she saw my obvious angry face and frustration she suggested I go to my PCP to get hormones. Unbelievable. I have another appointment with another doctor, but meanwhile I am suffering from pretty bad symptoms. I already had to wait 4 weeks for yesterday’s appointment and now must wait another 3 for the next doctor.
Teresita, Please, please, have a consultation with me BEFORE seeing any physician. I will arm you with all the information you need, help you weigh your benefits and risks, and school you in how to navigate the medical system in order to get what you want. There are more pitfalls than you can possibly imagine. And, if you go to your doctor before having a consultation, you could burn your bridges without even knowing it. You do not need any labs before having a consultation with me. All you need to do for scheduling is go to MenopauseTaylor.ME. Women start learning from these videos and then march into their doctors, where the door slams in their face. You need to consult with me before you approach any doctor. I promise it's worth postponing your appointment.
Menopause Taylor I am so glad to learn that labs are not needed prior to a consultation. I am searching for a new GYN, and have never had hormone labs done.
@@Joanna0301 It's better not to get them. I'll explain why in your consultation. And I'll make your journey through menopause and navigation through the health care system soooo much easier.
I feel for you. I know it's awful for a Dr to say that. Maybe they don't want to get involved cause they don't want to be sued. I believe after everything I've learned that in the future your Primary Dr. will give HRT as naturally as can be. I love Dr Taylor and her teachings. I hope you will find a Dr you will like that understands your needs. A diabetic automatically gets their insulin, but they aren't ready to provide women with PMS and HRT. That day will come in the future I hope. It will save her from alot of agony. It's all so simple, so primary, after your usual physical and blood test. Good luck dear one,🌞🙏🍀
I'm new to this journey, but I've learned so much that when I can get in with a gyno who knows menopause well we can be on the same page. It's clear that it's another stage of life that needs special accommodations to manage.... Almost caught up with the videos. I started watching the week I had my TAH BSO May 11th. Now that I have moved and am somewhat settled, I can pick up where I left off in the book. Kinda had to pack my life up to move....
Well I want to thank you for giving your time to teach us how to look after ourselves. It is like the song SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO BE A WOMAN and yes it is but with your help it's not too hard. We have to take charge and be in control but knowing what to do is half the battle 🥰
You are absolutely right, my dear. No one will ever take care of you as well as you will take care of yourself. But you have to have the education & the tools with which to know how to do that. And that's what this education gives you.
Hello Dr. Barbie! This is a very important video! Thanks again! It's Ioanna Tzanoudaki from Greece! I had an one to one consultation with you with my twin sister if you can remember. I desiced having all the knowledge from you to begin with having Mirena and also the estrogen patches (Dermestril 50) which I change every four days (began 34 days ago) .I am writting to you because I tried to book an one to one consultation with you and unfortunatelly (for me) the next available is end of March. My problem is that for the last 30 days now I have a little bleeding every day and because I had an appointment with my gynecologist yesterday, he told me that if it doesnt stop after 20-25 days he will have to advise me to quit!!! But the only person I trust is you not my gynecologist. He can't even propose to make a change or something else. If you could advise me I would be very happy, or maybe make a consultation earlier than the end of March. Thank you so much in advance!!!
@tzanoudaki ioanna how are you now? I had an IUD put in and bled for 21 days in a row. I asked my doc to remove it. Was told by another doc that it was probably put in wrong. This procedure was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. What happened with you?
@@muse3241 Hi dear! Had exactly the same experience with you, very painful procedure and bled for almost 2 months. But after that everything was fine. Dont worry and dont take it out if its placed ok of cource. I also put the estrogen pads and I have taken my life back!! I hope I have helped you, ask me anything else you want!!! Merry Christmas!!!
Dear Dr.Taylor a quick CIAO to let you know I am still following your lessons and liking them a lot. We are in the middle of cove-19 as I write from Italy. I would have some questions on your latest videos, however I am overwhelmed with rules and news and homeschooling and smart working...so I will write them down and ask them later. I hope I will get the chance to be post menopausal and I send you my gratitude and love, to you and to the community!
@@MenopauseTaylor I will and I send you my love. Please know your lessons have been useful in this matter as well... Assess risk, listing priorities, trying to know only facts. Thank you and a big hug
@Menopause Taylor: I just found your channel and I am so grateful. I am 40 and I thought I was going crazy. I have had two pregnancies, have all my reproductive organs and have had a very regular period since I was 11. I was like clockwork, lol. That is, until January. Well, my last period was January 1st of this year (2020) and today is March 6th and I haven't had one since. I had my tubes tied at 26 but I know pregnancy is still possibly although not likely. Ive taken multiple pregnancy tests and even one where they drew my blood. They are all negative. I have new insurance and couldnt get an appointment with a new doctor until March 27. I had no symptoms of peri menopause that I noticed. Then in January after my last period , I began having a constant headache along skin dryness and vaginal dryness, insomnia and panic attacks or maybe just anxiety ( not sure bc ive never had either until now.) The only difference in my cycles before all this was that they were a couple of days longer than before but nothing major and then, now all of the sudden NOTHING. Could it be peri menopause or post menopause already? Thank you for all of the information you share with us!! Bless you beautiful lady!! 💕
Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. And you'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that you now do know. Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know. I respond to all comments here on RUclips daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!) And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time.
Menopause Taylor: Thank you! I will definitely be gifting myself a consultation with you soon! I just want to have my lab work results done and ready to share with you to better help. But again, I cant get in to see a doctor until the 27th of this month. I pray I get someone knowledgeable and understanding. I am so confused. By the symptoms I mentioned in my above comment, im not sure if im in peri menopause or not. I feel like i may be low on estrogen but maybe it's progesterone I need. I have been binge watching all you videos in order and am trying to get a better understanding. Ive never had heavy or irregular bleeding. Always right on time and now all of the sudden my period completely stopped. Skins dry, everything is dry which was never the case before. My Last period one was January 1st. Could I have been in peri all this time and not know it? And now it actually just menopause? What do you think it sounds like? Thank you so much!

I so appreciate all you do to educate and prepare women. I currently have the bioTe Estrogen and Testosterone implants and I am a month out from needing new inserts. I have revisited the video episodes on the different forms of Estrogen and prevention of the long term diseases and I'm considering a different form of therapy that is FDA approved and not so costly. My question is: Are there any under the skin pellets that are FDA approved?
I had to go off the 2 in 1 patch. back on estrogen patch and prometrium pills separate again. One size sure doesn't fit all. I had 3 periods in a month or so. Went for that biopsy and nothing was wrong thank God. I have been on and off would be near 5 years. Took a break about 2 years . I went back on to stay in the opportunity window you talk about Barbie. Now I am reminded of the breast cancer increase. I am almost 60. Now I am back to be scared again about taking it. This was your latest video so commented here. What are the chances I could get it. How long should I stay on it? Said that 1 and 7 women can get it. I also hear those mamograms aren't safe to get either. Also your breast density chances and harder to find it. I can't afford 200 dollars an hour. I was going to make an appointment with you.
I’ve read a lot about the breast mammograms also. They squash and spread any cells present in your breasts, benign or not. I also read constantly that many so- called diagnosis are false and after the $$ ie chemo, surgery, radiation etc Big Bucks . Makes one definitely cautious doesn’t it
@@foxywhitetip7387 I will never get any chemo anyway. It's covered in Canada. I am just trying to avoid getting one long as I can. I heard they can do another way like ultrasound ones . Not sure was awhile ago have to research again. I been doing once patch a week to save money now . It still has been keeping the anxiety and hot flashes away. I Have a new general dr and a gyno and got to express another way besides mammograms. I do self exams and I don't notice any lumps or difference. I am so against big pharma. I do hear of cures and therapeutics are going to come out. Big pharma killing us slowly is coming to and end. I had a dr wanted me to take Effexor for hotflashes. Use anti depressants when women need estrogen. I gave her a hard time before I told her to shove her b.s outdated lies and indoctrination . They treat and don't care to give the cures for cancer too.
It's a permanent state? So it's new illness isn't it?. So need to realy change everything. So the names peri menopause symptoms And menopause cant be different.? Doctor has to help and individualise therapy. Ve been reading for few months now. Thankyou for your lovely video. I feel so confident in visiting m doctor now.
Hello Dr Taylor. I am wondering your take and the why behind these website and IG and Facebook “health hormone coaches” that have no medical credentials but offer programs that will help manage menopause by purchasing a DUTCH test from them, they give results and tell you what to tell the medical practitioner as far as treatment. First what’s up with the Dutch test, they say it’s the only way to test hormones and 2nd how can they offer these things without any medical credentials? Thank you
Dr Taylor I’ve been trying to watch your videos in order but it’s taking me a long time. I have a quick question that I hope you can answer for me. I’m taking oral progesterone 5 mg a day for two weeks at beginning of cycle to lessen heavy bleeding. Is it possible that it’s causing depressive symptoms? I know you can’t offer medical advice but just wondering if neg mood changes can be side effect. I hope I can afford a consultation with you sometime in the future!
Depression os a very common side effect of progesterone. There are ways around it though. I can help you with your options in a consultation if you want to schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Hi, can you just answer this generally. Is it a bad idea to try and suppress periods now I’m in perimenopause? I’m just sick of them and now they are irregular and can be heavy. I have No underlying health issues. I actually just read in your book last night where you said that you can’t go against Mother Nature regarding periods but is there absolutely no way I can try and stop my periods using HRT? Is it better to just carry on having these irregular periods until they stop naturally? Thanks.
You can "suppress" periods at any age. Any birth control that contains BOTH estrogen and progesterone in a continuous regimen does so. But it requires birth control rather than HRT. They are the same thing, but completely different dosage ranges. And getting this right specifically for YOU warrants a consultation.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you. I am seeing my doctor in two weeks as I have kept postponing it until I have watched all your videos and read your book again! I just want low dose oestrogen gel and vaginal progesterone really and not the high doses of birth control. So I have to weigh these two things up. Everything has its pros and cons as you say! Thank you so much for always answering.
@@smileygirl1742 You are so very welcome. Just listen to your body (rather than your brain). It will not lie as to what you need. I love giving you this education.
Is Wild Yam actually helpful to anyone? I am anti-big pharma and doctors and hear that there are good natural options. Im just tired of being tired and after being slim my whole life, now I feel like a "busted can of biscuits", even keto isnt working🐷. I dont even feel like myself anymore and I cant afford a specialist. Dr. Berg explained fixing a menopausal metabolism is NOT a quick fix too. A year or more. So thats very true. God bless.
You should really consider scheduling a consultation with me. I could help you so much and tailor everything specifically to you. I can tell by your question that you have a lot of uncertainties. Here's how a consultation works: 1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone. 2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. If you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a 5-day deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date. 3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages. 4) I will send you the document by email 72 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth. 5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want in order to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed. 6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use. 7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options. The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request. So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively). I hope to meet you soon!
There is nothing that is right for everyone! Thats true in life in general! So many people get into trouble in life by copying others! I didn't know I needed a menopause education until I did! I thought menopause just meant my period would stop! Menopause has been pretty devastating for me with a parathyroid tumor, Osteoporosis (never once had a hot flash) and dealing with the stress of having to deal with doctors who are against HRT. I now have a menopause specialist. But all of my other doctors hassle me or try to anyway about HRT. Now I have a fibroid 10 CM and my doctors are all freaking out except for the menopause specialist. He is trying different things to help me. Without this education I would be freaking out too! I have enough problems so being armed with this education helps me to make informed decisions and to keep calm when my doctors are hysterical. Thank you for this education!
I'm creating "Pay it forward" program. So stay tuned, my dear. I assure you that what I give you in a consultation is worth significantly more than the cost of the consultation. Ask any woman who has had one with me.
Menopause Taylor definitely you’re doing best but consultations are only for those who can afford. But we dont so comentig is the only way to get help from you waiting for your program anxiously.

@tzanoudaki ioanna how are you now? I had an IUD put in and bled for 21 days in a row. I asked my doc to remove it. Was told by another doc that it was probably put in wrong. This procedure was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. What happened with you?
@@muse3241 Hi dear! Had exactly the same experience with you, very painful procedure and bled for almost 2 months. But after that everything was fine. Dont worry and dont take it out if its placed ok of cource. I also put the estrogen pads and I have taken my life back!! I hope I have helped you, ask me anything else you want!!! Merry Christmas!!!
@@tzanoudakiioanna4212 glad to hear it! I have a twin sister too. We are trying to navigate this together :) -Johanna
Haha that's great!!! Wish you the best!!!
Good stuff, Dr. Barb 💕
Thank you, my dear.
I just booked my consultation with you!! I am super exited😁
Hi, thank you for your valuable information.
You are so very welcome. I love doing this for you!
Thanks Dr Taylor. I feel you were speaking to me directly. Once I get all my blood work, etc I will gift myself a one on one. Thank you.
I look forward to helping you, my dear.
Dear Dr.Taylor a quick CIAO to let you know I am still following your lessons and liking them a lot. We are in the middle of cove-19 as I write from Italy. I would have some questions on your latest videos, however I am overwhelmed with rules and news and homeschooling and smart working...so I will write them down and ask them later. I hope I will get the chance to be post menopausal and I send you my gratitude and love, to you and to the community!
My best to you, Emanuela. Please take care and know that I will be here when you need me.
@@MenopauseTaylor I will and I send you my love. Please know your lessons have been useful in this matter as well... Assess risk, listing priorities, trying to know only facts. Thank you and a big hug
@@emanueladavini5243 You are so very welcome, Emanuela.
@Menopause Taylor: I just found your channel and I am so grateful. I am 40 and I thought I was going crazy. I have had two pregnancies, have all my reproductive organs and have had a very regular period since I was 11. I was like clockwork, lol. That is, until January. Well, my last period was January 1st of this year (2020) and today is March 6th and I haven't had one since. I had my tubes tied at 26 but I know pregnancy is still possibly although not likely. Ive taken multiple pregnancy tests and even one where they drew my blood. They are all negative. I have new insurance and couldnt get an appointment with a new doctor until March 27. I had no symptoms of peri menopause that I noticed. Then in January after my last period , I began having a constant headache along skin dryness and vaginal dryness, insomnia and panic attacks or maybe just anxiety ( not sure bc ive never had either until now.) The only difference in my cycles before all this was that they were a couple of days longer than before but nothing major and then, now all of the sudden NOTHING. Could it be peri menopause or post menopause already? Thank you for all of the information you share with us!! Bless you beautiful lady!! 💕
Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. And you'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that you now do know.
Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know.
I respond to all comments here on RUclips daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!)
And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time.
Menopause Taylor: Thank you! I will definitely be gifting myself a consultation with you soon! I just want to have my lab work results done and ready to share with you to better help. But again, I cant get in to see a doctor until the 27th of this month. I pray I get someone knowledgeable and understanding. I am so confused. By the symptoms I mentioned in my above comment, im not sure if im in peri menopause or not. I feel like i may be low on estrogen but maybe it's progesterone I need. I have been binge watching all you videos in order and am trying to get a better understanding. Ive never had heavy or irregular bleeding. Always right on time and now all of the sudden my period completely stopped. Skins dry, everything is dry which was never the case before. My Last period one was January 1st. Could I have been in peri all this time and not know it? And now it actually just menopause? What do you think it sounds like? Thank you so much!
@@MissG909 Please, please, have a consultation with me BEFORE seeing any physician. I will arm you with all the information you need, help you weigh your benefits and risks, and school you in how to navigate the medical system in order to get what you want. There are more pitfalls than you can possibly imagine. And, if you go to your doctor before having a consultation, you could burn your bridges without even knowing it. You do not need any labs before having a consultation with me. All you need to do for scheduling is go to MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I AM WATCHING THE VIDEOS IN ORDER 😂
Excellent! It will make it very easy for you to connect all the dots.
I so appreciate all you do to educate and prepare women. I currently have the bioTe Estrogen and Testosterone implants and I am a month out from needing new inserts. I have revisited the video episodes on the different forms of Estrogen and prevention of the long term diseases and I'm considering a different form of therapy that is FDA approved and not so costly.
My question is:
Are there any under the skin pellets that are FDA approved?
Thank you again for another great video.
It's my pleasure, Liz. I'm glad you're here.
Thank you for this information.
You are so welcome, my dear.
Good stuff!
Can I take HRT while my hormone are going up and down. 51 yrs no uterus but told still not in menopause but gaining weight is so annoying
Thank you so much 🤗🏝🌴
You are very welcome.
Thank you
You're so welcome!
I had to go off the 2 in 1 patch. back on estrogen patch and prometrium pills separate again. One size sure doesn't fit all. I had 3 periods in a month or so. Went for that biopsy and nothing was wrong thank God. I have been on and off would be near 5 years. Took a break about 2 years . I went back on to stay in the opportunity window you talk about Barbie. Now I am reminded of the breast cancer increase. I am almost 60. Now I am back to be scared again about taking it. This was your latest video so commented here. What are the chances I could get it. How long should I stay on it? Said that 1 and 7 women can get it. I also hear those mamograms aren't safe to get either. Also your breast density chances and harder to find it. I can't afford 200 dollars an hour. I was going to make an appointment with you.
I’ve read a lot about the breast mammograms also.
They squash and spread any cells present in your breasts, benign or not. I also read constantly that many so- called diagnosis are false and after the $$ ie chemo, surgery, radiation etc Big Bucks . Makes one definitely cautious doesn’t it
@@foxywhitetip7387 I will never get any chemo anyway. It's covered in Canada. I am just trying to avoid getting one long as I can. I heard they can do another way like ultrasound ones . Not sure was awhile ago have to research again. I been doing once patch a week to save money now . It still has been keeping the anxiety and hot flashes away. I Have a new general dr and a gyno and got to express another way besides mammograms. I do self exams and I don't notice any lumps or difference. I am so against big pharma. I do hear of cures and therapeutics are going to come out. Big pharma killing us slowly is coming to and end. I had a dr wanted me to take Effexor for hotflashes. Use anti depressants when women need estrogen. I gave her a hard time before I told her to shove her b.s outdated lies and indoctrination . They treat and don't care to give the cures for cancer too.
Thank you! :)
You are so very welcome, my dear.
It's a permanent state?
So it's new illness isn't it?.
So need to realy change everything.
So the names peri menopause symptoms
And menopause cant be different.?
Doctor has to help and individualise therapy.
Ve been reading for few months now. Thankyou for your lovely video.
I feel so confident in visiting m doctor now.
Hello Dr Taylor. I am wondering your take and the why behind these website and IG and Facebook “health hormone coaches” that have no medical credentials but offer programs that will help manage menopause by purchasing a DUTCH test from them, they give results and tell you what to tell the medical practitioner as far as treatment. First what’s up with the Dutch test, they say it’s the only way to test hormones and 2nd how can they offer these things without any medical credentials? Thank you
Dr Taylor I’ve been trying to watch your videos in order but it’s taking me a long time. I have a quick question that I hope you can answer for me. I’m taking oral progesterone 5 mg a day for two weeks at beginning of cycle to lessen heavy bleeding. Is it possible that it’s causing depressive symptoms? I know you can’t offer medical advice but just wondering if neg mood changes can be side effect. I hope I can afford a consultation with you sometime in the future!
Depression os a very common side effect of progesterone. There are ways around it though. I can help you with your options in a consultation if you want to schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Hi, can you just answer this generally. Is it a bad idea to try and suppress periods now I’m in perimenopause? I’m just sick of them and now they are irregular and can be heavy. I have No underlying health issues. I actually just read in your book last night where you said that you can’t go against Mother Nature regarding periods but is there absolutely no way I can try and stop my periods using HRT? Is it better to just carry on having these irregular periods until they stop naturally? Thanks.
You can "suppress" periods at any age. Any birth control that contains BOTH estrogen and progesterone in a continuous regimen does so.
But it requires birth control rather than HRT. They are the same thing, but completely different dosage ranges.
And getting this right specifically for YOU warrants a consultation.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you. I am seeing my doctor in two weeks as I have kept postponing it until I have watched all your videos and read your book again! I just want low dose oestrogen gel and vaginal progesterone really and not the high doses of birth control. So I have to weigh these two things up. Everything has its pros and cons as you say! Thank you so much for always answering.
@@smileygirl1742 You are so very welcome. Just listen to your body (rather than your brain). It will not lie as to what you need. I love giving you this education.
Is Wild Yam actually helpful to anyone? I am anti-big pharma and doctors and hear that there are good natural options. Im just tired of being tired and after being slim my whole life, now I feel like a "busted can of biscuits", even keto isnt working🐷. I dont even feel like myself anymore and I cant afford a specialist. Dr. Berg explained fixing a menopausal metabolism is NOT a quick fix too. A year or more. So thats very true. God bless.
You should really consider scheduling a consultation with me. I could help you so much and tailor everything specifically to you. I can tell by your question that you have a lot of uncertainties.
Here's how a consultation works:
1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone.
2) I would send you an email to confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. If you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I will give you a 5-day deadline for sending all materials, and will not accept anything after that date.
3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points out the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU, using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages.
4) I will send you the document by email 72 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth.
5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want in order to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed.
6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use.
7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and re-balance their options.
The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got from the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request.
So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively).
I hope to meet you soon!
She has a video on Wild yam , hope you have had a chance to watch it
There is nothing that is right for everyone! Thats true in life in general! So many people get into trouble in life by copying others! I didn't know I needed a menopause education until I did! I thought menopause just meant my period would stop! Menopause has been pretty devastating for me with a parathyroid tumor, Osteoporosis (never once had a hot flash) and dealing with the stress of having to deal with doctors who are against HRT. I now have a menopause specialist. But all of my other doctors hassle me or try to anyway about HRT. Now I have a fibroid 10 CM and my doctors are all freaking out except for the menopause specialist. He is trying different things to help me. Without this education I would be freaking out too! I have enough problems so being armed with this education helps me to make informed decisions and to keep calm when my doctors are hysterical. Thank you for this education!
I love knowing that this education is giving you confidence and allaying some off your fears, my dear.
😃😃😃
Then please make your consultation free at least for people like me who can’t pay 380750 rupees for one consultation
I'm creating "Pay it forward" program. So stay tuned, my dear.
I assure you that what I give you in a consultation is worth significantly more than the cost of the consultation. Ask any woman who has had one with me.
Menopause Taylor definitely you’re doing best but consultations are only for those who can afford. But we dont so comentig is the only way to get help from you waiting for your program anxiously.
@@pakistanihousewifeamna2879 I do giveaways also. Please don't give up.
Menopause Taylor I wish I could get a give away from you it would be just an hour for you but for me it will bi life saving
@@pakistanihousewifeamna2879 It could happen, my dear!
