Our God indeed is a covenant keeping God. Has he said a thing and not perform it? I watch how things unfold in my life, from penury to $155,000 every three months and I can only praise him and trust him more. Hallelujah🙌🏻❤️
I hit my 50th Birthday, and the periods just Stopped!! Brilliant, I'd had awful, painful periods, none were skipped and no perimenapause symptoms, the year before I had bloods taken and the GP said that I still had the same hormones as a young woman!! There again, I used to walk 18miles everyday, even aged 40, when I was expecting my first and only daughter!! (After being told that I couldn't have children,Lol!) Walking Everyday, Energetically is The Best Medicine, ohh,apart from laughter!! Thank you very much for making and sharing this video!!😊❤ Andréa and Critters. ...XxX...
Congratulations on getting to the birth age of 50! Its been one heck of a ride hasn't it? Dont forget to read the signs getting off and stay informed of the parks rules and regulations. as well dont forget to check out all the park has to offer. We still have alot left to see and experience in the "park" But remember, there are alot of people trying to sell us things in the "park" Don't forget why we are in the "park" in the first place. This park is the best park ever! Imo anyways! we all have ownership and only as a collective can we have a happy and safe time here. Don't ever forget to stay safe, and stay informed! Oh, dont forget to be a kid sometimes, dont forget that kid in you!
MHT/HRT ladies… talk to your Dr. I’ve been strength training since I was in my early 40’s, and I lift heavy weights, I am and have been active, that did not stop my excessive, exhaustive and uncomfortable hot flashes. I was in tears every night, the hot flashes were so intense I was barely functioning. Heard Maria Shiver talking about HRT and the background and fallacy of the studies against HRT in the 90’s… I went straight to my Dr and she agreed and immediately put me on estradiol patches and progesterone. Thank god! I am back to being me… the benefits and quality of life outweigh any risk IMHO.
This is dated information. Estrogen is preventative medicine for heart disease, bone heath, and dementia. If you are just starting research on menopause, keep searching. Dr Kelly Casperson and other doctors provide much more informed. Hormone replacement is much more important than this program reports.
I was about to say the same thing! A lot of recent research and evidence contradicts what she's saying, and have already proven her statements to be wrong. And the benefits of HRT (yes, declining hormones need to be replaced - regardless of whether it's a natural event or not, so I'm sticking with that term) do include testosterone, as Dr Kelly Casperson has highlighted! Not to mention, the Grandmother Hypothesis has already been debunked...
What she said is the truth: while incredibly helpful for many, it's not for everyone. Dr. Gunter is a renowned specialist with extensive clinical experience and she teaches masterclasses on this topic. So yes, by all means do your own research and consult with *board certified and evidence based practinoners. But not because this is "dated information"; it absolutely is not.
When my mother went through menopause, she was put on Boniva - which was later found to cause necrosis of the jaw bone. It destroyed her jaw. When I went through menopause, my doctor put me on medroxyprogesterone, which is know to cause hair loss. I only recovered my hair after I switched. It seems like treatment options are dictated by corporate policy... It's getting harder and harder to trust the medical community. Be your own advocate - blind trust is not an option.
Oh ok, right off rip "So MOST creatures have the good sense to die after bearing children... but the pesky human women just won't friggin do it!" 😂 love it
Thank you for the information. As a 54 year old woman I take MHT, vaginal estrodial and testosterone. I started at the age of 53 when my periods were still going chaotic after 3 years. MHT helped me TREMENDOUSLY! I had frozen shoulder, nasty mood swings, painful sex, anxiety and extreme fatigue. I’ve always exercised all my life and generally pretty healthy. Everyone is an individual and experiences different symptoms. I never had hot flashes, till this day, have not experienced them. I’m blessed with my doctor. Please seek help if you’re struggling with any symptoms.
I and the same issues plus hot flashes and vaginal atrophy. I have been on MHT for 3 months now and just that amount of time has made. A huge difference.
Recommending everyone to read the book Eve by Cat Bohannon, newest scientific realizations about the female body and fun stories about our ancestors and evolution
They say you have to go a whole twelve months _without_ a period before you can be sure you've reached menopause. I've gone ten, and even eleven, whole months without a period and _still_ had several periods after that. 🫤 Here's hoping my 54th birthday was my very last period. 🤞 What a gift. The hot flashes are truly unbearable. I dunno how women survived this back in the old days.
This is the standard doctor medical model on menopause, presented well. Doctors will like it, it's neat, and seems to check the boxes. Unfortunately, I don't think it reflects the actual lived experience of women and their struggles in peri and post menopause. Nor what they need to feel better and be able to function. It's still a narrative of doctors telling women how they feel, instead of asking women how they are feeling and doing. I'm sure this doctor is highly respected in the medical community, with many credentials, and the Menopause Societies will endorse everything she says, in a uniform manner. I can't fault her articulation of the current professional position. However, there's still a long distance to travel from the ivory towers of the Royal Colleges to the place where women's real healthcare needs are to be met. For example, The Smallest Dose for the Shortest Time philosophy is how doctors are trained, and they are very comfortable with that. And that's what we're back to now, at least in the UK. It's right for doctors, but it's miles away from what's right for so many women in menopause. Hopefully the twain shall meet, but it's not happening quite yet 😊xx
@ginaayanna643 yes we know that, it was said lightheartedly. Although with or without two glasses of wine my symptoms are the same so I might as well have a relaxing drink to help me have something to look forward to!
Always amazing, Dr Gunter! Thank you for everything you to for women and defending our right to science based, fact checked medical information! Weeding through all the crap is difficult, but I am happy to say that your Menopause Manifesto book and your substack blog The Vajenda, have helped armed me with great information to make evidence-informed decisions about my health and to pass along good information to my peers. Not only that, my own highly reviewed OB-Gyn raves about your book and it has given us a common tool to use for discussions about my health. Thank you, thank you
No, the studies aren't the best let alone awareness among primary care providers. I didn't have any premenopause at all. Had zero interest by my doctor. I did however have a huge jump in anxiety, exhaustion and hadn't had a decent night's sleep for 8 years. Brutal night sweats, such that it was pointless to change bedding because it'd be soaked again in 2 hours. Instead I laid on bath sheets. It was a miserable 8 years until I learned more about mht from a British comedy than I had from any doctor. I just didn't know that feeling like I was mentally ill could be due to menopause. I went to my mostly useless nurse practitioner and asked to go on mht and he agreed. Within 2 months I started to feel more like my old self of a decade ago!! Im furious that I had to suffer all those years, only to be 58 before finally trying hormones. The negative symptoms of menopause can last for years and years and it's a shame I'm at the later part of when it's recommended to take. Mind you, despite any risks I would sooner have back the decade I lost to be mostly housebound. Seriously!! I could barely drive due to waves of hot flashes and anxiety would wash over me unexpectedly. It's cruel and unusual punishment to force women to live like that due to lack of awareness. Only good thing to come out of it aside from improving my quality of life is my NP said he would look differently at women when they turned 50 with similar symptoms. What are they learning when they study for cripes sake? It shouldn't be a mystery in this day and age. The study of menopause was seriously hampered by the original one done when they said it increased risk of cancers. It wasn't until recent years it was revealed that it only studied a small group of more elderly women. Who, by virtue of their age and small number, skewed those percentages inaccurately. So further study was dropped for a long while. Again, if men were the ones who suffered from such stark, dismal symptoms... Treatments would have been sought long ago. Sort of like bladder leakage. They peddle adult pads and diapers as of it is to be acceptable to be constantly wetting oneself at the slightest sneeze, or even standing up. Phhh!! A fact of life!! I never had kids yet I suffer from it despite being physically active. Women's health is a low priority, that's clear to me
I'm 49. Had breast cancer in 2023. I can't have hrt. It sucked until December. I started on semiglutide, have lost 20 pounds, and my periods are regular again, and my joint pain is better. Hot flashes are reduced too.
Actually it 0:58 took under a minute. We live past menopause because we are still very valuable. Men are not. Men are only worth their muscle tone and sperm production which is why nature allows them to procreate until the day they die. Yall need wise women, but alas, men are only as valuable as their seed. ⬇️🎤
Nah, we are women, so the less time they have to spend on us the more control they have, we are back to being 2nd class citizens…that is glaringly obvious with this month’s election choice.
Just a little something for the youtube community "What you allow will manifest" "What you throw away will get swept away" Stay " tapped in" Peace and love yall ✌️💚💙❤️ Men, why are we scared of this? Why does this study scare us? You know what i mean... Just a question for the men out there if I could.
It's getting harder to take the experts as seriously when I see more info that the birth control pill is looking to be related to breast cancer, and yet even here it is mentioned. Do your research yes, even when dealing with experts. I just had an argument with a doctor who wanted my daughter on an asthma inhaler, but she doesn't have asthma, she is just sick. He even admitted it would have no effect. We went to another doctor who was able to give an accurate diagnosis.
I ride mountain bike 3 times per week, lift weight and still feel like I want to die. Depression, anxiety, bad mood, hot flashes, brain fog, etc I rather be dead honestly. i am 51 yo btw
Disease symptoms are sacrificial. " If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent."
I am very uncomfortable that this is a video about menopause and only one time the word 'woman' is mentioned in the whole video, and it was because the word is included in the name of a syndrome. 😒
It’s all about hormones. It seems like once the hormones leave the body, aging starts and bones and skin slowly deplete. It’s mother nature’s way called the cycle of life.
It's not just you. I had the exact same impression, and it turned me off. She seems to be implicitly criticising younger, more progressive OBGYNs who are ahead of the curve and have been pushing back against her outdated way of thinking. And these same OBGYNs have already provided scientific evidence/publications proving some of her statements to be wrong and outdated.
Man. I thought this was Big Think not Big Pharma. Really disappointed that this is shoving women towards doctors and doctors advice regardless of what that is or how outdated or archaic instead of women thinking, researching and advocating for themselves. There’s plenty of incredible therapies out there that are helpful (I’m on several) that come from compounded pharmacies. I really liked this channel bc I felt it was thought provoking but I’m not so sure about it now. This was very disappointing.
I’m 58 and still not technically in menopause. I stopped for 24 months then restarted. They investigated only to say normal functioning ovaries and womb. Monthly periods for a year and then stopped for 13 months. Again they investigated - ovarian cysts and normal functioning. Monthly periods for 6 months then stopped for 5 months so far. I can’t tell you how pig sick I am of it all, but they keep insisting nothings wrong. I’m desperate for it to be over with😫
Ok yeah but keep in mind that US healthcare isn't even in the top 5 so look at what other countries are doing for women.
I'm blessed! Only God knows how much I praise Him, $80k every 4weeks! I now have a good house and can now afford anything and also support my family
Our God indeed is a covenant keeping God. Has he said a thing and not perform it? I watch how things unfold in my life, from penury to $155,000 every three months and I can only praise him and trust him more. Hallelujah🙌🏻❤️
The miracle of God is flowing, thanks for sharing! I'm genuinely curious to know how you earn that much monthly. Please help others too ❤❤
I'm so happy for you dear, please can you elaborate more about this? I definitely believe you're God sent 🙏
I thank God for bringing Mildred Evelyn Rooney brokage service into my life. I'm happy for God's grace have found me through her ❤️😊
God has used her to save so many lives including mine, could remember when I started with her back in 2023
I hit my 50th Birthday, and the periods just Stopped!!
Brilliant, I'd had awful, painful periods, none were skipped and no perimenapause symptoms,
the year before I had bloods taken and the GP said that I still had the same hormones as a young woman!!
There again, I used to walk 18miles everyday,
even aged 40, when I was expecting my first and only daughter!!
(After being told that I couldn't have children,Lol!)

🤔I’m thinking there’s currently no such thing as the science of menapause- so few studies have been conducted you can’t really draw conclusions.
We have to start somewhere you negative Nelly.
The studies are being conducted now and there is alot more information, if you look for it
❤Good information. Thank you
Conclusion: "we have no clue, but we can talk A LOT about it"... 😅🤣
Is anyone from india ❤
Why is she saying people? Aren’t only women going through menopause?
im preetty sure women are also people
@@Elephantnegotiationsocietyso are men. Men don’t go through menopause.
There are trans men who can also go through this. Hence people.
How can you talk about menopause and never say the word woman?
trans men also experience menopause, so "people" is a more encompassing term 🙂
Because other than women, menopause. Do you have to nitpick? It clearly goes without saying, for why she did not say it
Thank you for telling us how to accurately check on line facts and much more helpful info!
Im in the first stages and it's kicking my ass.
I have all the symptoms and am doctor shopping to try and get HRT. It's miserable
Take at least two glasses of wine per day, works wonders

I went into early menopause after taking pharmaceuticals and stopping them suddenly, so difficult to find a caring doctor.

Yeah but why should women just accept it? If any other hormone is depleted, it is replaced (i.e. thyroid).
