I suffered with symptoms for a few years but didn’t realise that’s what it was. It really amped up a few months ago and my Doctor gave me HRT. The bit about your opinion being the only thing that’s important is so true. I felt a bit of a failure going on it so soon, like maybe I’d given in too quickly but within a few weeks I felt so much better physically and so much more calm. This is the right choice for me right now and that’s all I can go with really. No one gives you a medal for getting through without intervention and I thought, I could really suffer for the next 10 years plus and life is about now.
I appreciate everything you have done for humanity. You will forever be in my heart. I am 59 and have a typical story like many other women who is in her post menepause and never had any guidance. Now, my daughter will not have to go through what I went through. We send you the very best; forever.❤️
My scattered brain wants to skip around but I am now watching these in order! I went through menopause beginning at age 39 and was finally “diagnosed” at 41. I felt like a lesser person. My friends can’t understand because they are so far away from it. Thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart for these videos. I have used so much trial and error (low dose birth control for three years, BioT estrogen and Progesterone pills for three months, and now, trying CombiPatch to try to keep costs down). I still don’t know what the future holds but I know that I won’t stop until I feel alive again. I am a fitness instructor and want to continue to work but some days, my body is just so tired.
@@peace2341 hi! Yes I think I found what is working pretty well. I am doing bio identical estrogen pellets and bio identical progesterone. I also have a small amount of testosterone pellets. I know it’s very controversial but it’s my body and I was so miserable that I’ve decided the rewards outright the risks. I do not have the Breast cancer gene in my family and none of those cancers (but never say never) I also have to really cut down my gluten and dairy. I still am constantly fighting my weight but I just take that day by day. Thanks for asking about it ❤️ I also keep my trace minerals up to par. That I’ve found is key as well.
Hooray! We got to meet your husband, George! I have been so curious to see the man who is delighted , not intimidated, by you, who supports and loves you with such a cuddly smile! Thank you George for your huge part in bringing us your Doctor/Wife, and helping and inspiring us all!
Not exactly. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr Horrible in disguise. We've been divorced for several years now. But I love giving you this education all by myself.
I've just discovered your channel and am so glad I did! I'm watching from the beginning and really enjoying what I'm learning so far. You explain things so well and I LOVE your unique character too! It's so nice to see you and your Mr Wonderful together! I'm looking forward to the test of your tutorials 😃
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. You'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that now you 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. I do them all online. Oh, and Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. We're divorced. I create and deliver this menopause education to you by myself (and have since this video aired). I love every minute of it.
I loved the way you loughed together. What a wonderful couple! May you always be happy! And of course I watch one video every night. My favorite time of day! I relax and I learn so much from you. Thank you, my friend!
How nice to know that I'm your bedtime story each night! Although I don't really believe "happily ever after" exists like it does in fairy tales, I do think that learning everything I have to teach you about menopause will bring you as close to it as possible. Thank you for making me feel like Cinderella!
Hi Dr Barbie, I came across from Angie’s Hot & Flashy channel. Currently binge watching your fabulous films - in order of course 😁 To see you and George together brightened my day. How adorable. The way you look at one another is just wonderful. Thank you from the UK 🌸🍃xx
It was fun meeting him, wasn't it. He wasn't expecting me to bring him in front of the camera. Surprise, surprise. (I did tell him what to wear that day, though. And he thought nothing of it, because he asks me what he should wear a lot.) It's wonderful that you have a Mr. Wonderful.
So nice to meet George! You made me laugh about the birth plan comparison. When I was pregnant with my first child, I was told to expect about an 18 hour labor. I packed books, VCR tapes (this was 26 years ago) and plenty to do to keep me entertained since I planned on having an epidural with minimal pain. Ha! It didn't work that way at all. I was feeling perfectly normal when my water broke one morning at 8:00 am and sudden rapid labor began immediately. My son was born 77 minutes later AFTER they made me wait for the doctor to arrive before I could push. There was no epidural or entertainment for me! With my second child, instead of a birth plan, I opted for Lamaze classes to be better prepared.
I am using my boyfriend's you tube account. I have started watching your video but have been suffering peri menopausal symptoms for 7 to 8 years now. I am learning at the same time getting amused by your videos and props. I have liked your videos (from video #1) and some comments but this is the first time I am writing a comment. I want to let you know that I got tearful when you introduced your great husband. I thought, when I saw in one of your videos he handed you a prop, that he must be assisting you with the planning and everything for your educational videos. Thank you for passionately sharing your knowledge on menopause. Now, instead of dreading on my "freetime" or off work days, I look forward to my days off so I can listen/watch your videos while doing chores in the house. Please also share my gratitude to your husbands contributions to your videos.
It was great to meet George. You two are hilarious! I've learned a lot so far. I'm 52 and post menopausal. I've done nothing so far but it's kickin' my butt. Really looking forward to hearing the details and benefits/risks of all options to see if there is anything out there right for me.
I'm going to bet that you find a bunch of options that are right for you. You're probably going to be surprised by some of your options. Most women have no idea about more than half of them. Stay tuned, my dear.
Ooh Dr. Taylor, when your nerdy guy prop started to ‘talk’ I just lost it. I laughed so hard that I had tears running down my face. Thank you so much for that experience and for sharing all this valuable information!
Oh well. Mr. Wonderful was actually Mr. Horrible in disguise. We're divorced now. But I love being married to all the women I'm helping with this menopause education!
Actually, Mr, Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. We've been divorced for years now. I make these videos for you all by myself. I guess I'm married to you, now. And, I'm a whole lot happier!
Well, not any more. We're divorced. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. I give you this education by myself, and love every minute of it.
Well, Mr. Wonderful was really MR. Horrible in disguise. We divorced by the time this video aired. I love creating and delivering this menopause education to you!
@@MenopauseTaylor Sorry to hear this! I know the feeling myself. You are a magnificent human being and your contribution to this community is greatly appreciated ❤️
Again, thank you for this tutorial! I will continue to wait and watch your tutorials. It's fun and easy to follow! While waiting for your tutorials, I've ordered your book. I can't wait to read it! Thanks M. Barbie for taking the time to share your knowledge! Also, it's nice to meet your Mr. Wonderful! Both of you look so happy!
Gina, The book will make things even easier for you. If there are things you want to know before the video comes out, you can read ahead. Thank you so much for watching.
Barbie, every video makes me amazed about how much I don't know about menopause. Thank you and Mr. Wonderful for taking time and effort to teaching us. You are a blessing.
I was feeling so lost not understanding what was going on with me and my marriage on the verge of its end. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You have given me hope.
Oh, Gloria, I'm here to help you. Please, please, watch these videos in order, and you'll discover all sorts of things that make complete sense and help you tremendously. Most couples have trouble because neither partner knows what's going on. This education will change that.
Menopause Taylor... thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I will continue to watch the videos I'mm on #22. Today I bought something over the counter called Amberen I will give it a try. I've been going at this alone since I don't have health insurance or even had any idea or understanding of what was happening to me. So I'm so greatful to have found you. I know I have a long way to go but at least now I have some hope.
@@MenopauseTaylor Ahh understood & relateable. Thank you for spreading your research & loving on us in a big way. You deserve the love back in a huge way🥰 Love on you Dr..Barbie. Saving my $ to make an appt soon💝
Thank you menopause Barbie. I am informed and I am trying to make the best choice for me to control my hot flashes. You came into my life at the right time, menopause time.
You are both wonderful!!! I have to thank you first of all, because I'm 45 and I think that I am peri-menopausal and your videos are really helping me trying to understand what is happening to me and find my way out. And last but not least I have to also thank your Mr. Wonderful for helping you out, doing all these amazing videos for all of us. God bless you both!!! Sending love from Athens, Greece!!!
You are so very welcome, my dear Suzana. But you should know it's just me, and has been for years now. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. We're divorced. I'm married to giving you this education now, and couldn't be happier.
Well, don't you think they're big? Actually, we have a wedding photo where George has his hands on either side of my head ... and my head is invisible! And his feet are huge, too!
I loved this video so much! If all health concerns would be explained the same way as Dr. Taylor educates us about Menopause, the world would be a better/healthier place. I can't believe how much I have already learned in 13 episodes, definitely makes me feel empowered, and I'm very much looking forward to watching all the other videos. I made my "birth plan", and can't wait to see if it will change later on. But one thing I know for sure: NO Premarin for me! It contains horse urine, specifically pregnant mare's urine, and the horses raised for their urine are kept confined and pregnant, and their foals often end up in the slaughterhouse!
Keep watching, my dear. Everything you learn will make you more and more able to make choices the are best for you. If you ever want me to help you tailor all your options specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Yes I'm a firm believer in you do what's best for you my family was caught up in the housing crisis we lived between pet friendly couples shelters and tents. My husband did drugs I got involved with advocacy we were pressured into applying for housing programs that don't work for us and got no where so I let them know.I changed my mind and had a great time.on a 5 day walk to the state capitol to advocate for villages like the one we're at we.are independently housed we have many many many friends from this prolonged traumatic experience that are doing great in these subsidized units but they different qualifications and needs and we support them We all deserve to understand our many options whatever might be going on
@@MenopauseTaylor Oh no! I didn’t realize - whoops! When I say I understand, I truly mean I understand. Been there, done that! Sometimes it’s best to move on.
Madam, your video is quite healing. Lately, I was feeling very sad, almost at the verge of tears. I strongly feel that I am going through menopause, I am experiencing almost all of the symptoms. I consulted with gynaecologist and he suggested to test the FSH levels to be fully sure( test results are expected by Sunday). I called my mother and told her about everything. It hurted greatly when she totally dismissed what I said, saying that I can't be getting menopause at an early age of 38, just because she got her's in her fifties. Every human being is different, I don't know why people don't understand that. My cycle had always been quite shorter than most of the people (and hence more frequent). I guess that's why I exhausted my ova earlier. Your video helped me to feel a lot better. Thanks a lot.
You know yourself better than anyone else does. Never doubt yourself, my dear. And, PLEASE, PLEASE schedule a consultation with me. Premature menopause is a huge deal that will affect the rest of your life. I will make sure you know absolutely everything you need and deserve to know about it. This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works: 1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone. (But very shortly, I’ll have my own video platform embedded in my website.)
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!
Thanks for another great video and meeting your Mr Wounderful, I'm going to hug and kiss mine for all his support through my hormonal roller coaster ride:D
You are the sweetest ever and you and Mr. Wonderful make the perfect couple. Thank you so much for teaching us and doing so with so much care. I wish you were my care provider but so thankful I came across your channel. I'm a 39 year old mom to three girls and always been so curious about how to keep my body healthy and feel good for my age at every stage of my life. I want to teach my girls everything I learn from you and prepare them for all of the stages and phases we women go through. I rarely write a review or comment because my life is so busy but had to take few moments to tell you Thank You.
I love that you introduced your husband. You videos are just so wonderful wonderful wonderful!!! I told my nurse about them. They are so fun-- the creativity and props -- and informative. Thank you!!
@@MenopauseTaylor So sorry to hear that! I wish the proportion would shift and there could be at least a few more Mr. Rights to balance out all the Mr. Horribles and Mr. Wrongs...
@@MenopauseTaylor I think in general the level of integrity and ________ (*fill in admirable quality) has declined, regardless of gender. But we will see what we believe is there. So, like Journey says: Don't stop believin'! Lol
He's no longer my husband. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise! We've been divorced for 3 years, and I'm a million times happier. But, you can count on me to continue as a one-woman show in educating you.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you for your reply and sharing your update. I am glad to know you are happier and look forward to learning so much from you!🙂❤️.
Thank you so much. The information you provide helps me to prepare myself rather than just dreading and fearing the day I'm confronted with menopause. Your husband's cameo was a real treat...and those hands - wow! 😀
Ha ha. They are big, aren't they? And his feet too! Don't worry. You will be so prepared that you welcome and embrace menopause as a time when you can do everything your way.
This video is great! I’ve been watching all the videos in order and they’ve been very helpful. Having gone through chemo and radiation 20 years ago, I want to make sure I’m educated for this big decision. With my history, I have to take a lot into consideration. I’m 46 and peri menopausal. My doctor told me I could start a low dose of hormones and I told him to hold off until I finish all these videos. 😂😂 He probably thinks I’m crazy but I’m used to being proactive about my health. If I hadn’t insisted that a swollen lymph node wasn’t normal for me, I wouldn’t have caught my cancer as early as I did. Thanks again! I’m looking forward to the rest of these. - Carolina Hello, Mr. Wonderful! 😄
Carolina, You can shortcut by scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. And then you can still watch the videos. I'll tailor everything specifically to YOU in a consultation, unlike in the videos. And Mr. Wonderful was really Mr, Horrible in disguise; so we're divorced.
@@MenopauseTaylor I'd love you to educate the women in the UK. There's a gap in the market for an intelligent woman who knows the science & has gone through it. All programmes on TV are starting to change the stance on menapause. Please watch Loose Women that was aired today - same things crop up again & again... I want told this.. I didn't know that ect. Please come & revolutionise us!
@@taragordon5682 I'm working on this, Tara. Thank you so much for your confidence in me. Just today, I participated in a live video event with the U.K. I was one of the speakers. I've spoken at a few events there already. I'll continue. My goal is to reach women all over the world.
Menopause Taylor I swear everything happens for a reason..! I am alone (not by choice, been dealing with my husband’s Alzheimer’s for the past SEVEN years, so youtube is my best friend 🤣) BUT I have had the freedom to educate myself during my menopause. (I’m 53) LOVE your style, and energy and INFORMATION🥰 I wish you were my DR👀
@@Livingtheretiredlife Thank you so very much, my dear. I'm so sorry about your husband's Alzheimer's. And I'll be teaching you how to avoid it in the huge Alzheimer's unit (45 videos) that will begin in early 2021.
OMG when you said joint pain (@20:26) the emotions just came to the surface. I had no idea this could be a symtom of menopause. Lightbulb moment. I need to get into see a Doc. Trying to go day to day all this is not working. And yes you have shown me I DO HAVE A CHOICE for me...
Oh, Denise, you brought a tear to my eye. There's an explanation for everything. I'll be giving you at least one tutorial on joint pain. And I'll be giving you a few tutorials on exercises to prevent and manage joint pain. I'm a severe arthritic, so I really know this stuff. My arthritis is the reason I retired, and I'm really a train wreck. Based on the extent of my disease, I should be in a wheel chair!
I am enjoying your tutorials enormously. I am always willing to educate myself towards a better quality of life. It was a treat to "meet" your darling husband, too.
Dianna, I'm so happy that you[re educating yourself on material that will serve you for the rest of your life. I can assure you that you'll draw on something you learned in these videos every single day.
I came to this video at a great time. I tried bc pills to manage my symptoms. I tried for 3 months and felt better in some ways but has some horrible symptoms too. Being on birth control also made me very nervous and i decided to just stop them and find another route.
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.
Ha! Nice to meet the REAL Mr. W! 😄 Thank you! I've been choosing NO treatment for about a year now, used OTC herbal meds for awhile but now the hot flashes are finally diminishing. But I reserve the right to change my mind after more episodes! Thanks again!❤️😊
You absolutely can change your mind as many times as you wish. Keep watching and you'll be sure that all your decisions are well-informed ones. I'm happy to hear that your hot flashes are subsiding.
Thank you so much for being so wonderful and sharing your expert knowledge and educating us in such a fun way. Thank you also Mr Right for all you help in making these videos. Lot's of love to the two of you. ❤
Well, it's just me, because Mr. Wonderful was really Mr Horrible in disguise. And we've been divorced for years now. I'm much happier being married to this mission of educating you.
i had a gynecologist who literally stormed out of the office because i didnt want to take hrt.she said nothing else would work.i felt so alone because it took months to get the appointment.
That is so unacceptable. Yet, so many women tell the same story. You deserve an education so that you know the pros and cons of all the options. And you deserve a professional who will help you manage your menopause your way. Keep watching. You'll be shocked at what you don't know. Much of what I'll teach you is practical information, like how to work with professionals, and what to expect from each. If you watch these videos in order, you'll probably more than many of the professionals.
I hope you walked out and never returned. I had a gynecologist whom I liked speak condescendingly to me when I went to him in pain from huge fibroids the had previously not been big and not been a problem. He was in a huff because i was three months late on my annual visit. He had done a myomectomy for me years before. I left him. There are too many other VERY GOOD docs in Houston to accept that behavior. Now, I'm thinking about embolization.
Maxsane Mitchell Please consider removing and replacing little by little yet steadily all animal products (meat, cheese, dairy) from your diet because eating them causes excess hormones thereby causing hormonal imbalances. Fibroids are caused by unbalanced hormones. I had fibroids that were small then began to grow slowly. I got pregnant with my first child and they grew like crazy. I had a myomectomy then upon the counsel given to me from an Seventh Day Adventist medical missionary, I prayerfully changed my diet to vegetarian- total plant based diet. I then conceived my second and all the way to finally my fourth child all without fibroid regrowth. Fibroids usually grow during pregnancy but that didn't happen to me because once my hormones were balanced that removed the cause of the fibroid's growth. I do hope that you find good help and thrive in good health. Thanks for sharing your experience. Finding a good doctor is vital. May God bless you.
Maxsane Mitchell i will never go back to that clinic again, they did have nice sofas in the waiting area. I told the gyno that i was having painful sex and her reply was well you cant be 21 forever.shelooked tired herself and i figured she maybe suffering burnout.luckily i dont give up easily when it comes to health.
thanks for all of your time and information you are giving us. I love your videos and look forward to them. your mr. right is so sweet and you both look so happy! thanks :-)
You are so great at getting the information across. You are entertaining and just fun to watch and learn from. Thank you for all this education and guidance. And thank you George for all your help!
You are so welcome, my dear. But it's just me. George and I divorced. I'm married and committed to making sure you get the education you deserve, instead. It's a much better match for me.
It was nice to meet your Mr. Wonderful. I am learning so much from your videos. Even though I am late to the party I am hoping to manage my post menopause my way.
aawww what a lovely couple you make, you look so happy together it's wonderful to see ....watching you every day! can't wait to find out all I need to know how to manage my menopause thank you Barbie x
Oh Barbie! I wish you have these videos in Spanish to send it to all my family and friends in Peru ( I am from there) !! I am sharing you to my friends here in the USA (older and younger) so they can learn like I am doing ! Thank you so much! Muchisimas gracias!
Oh, it's so wonderful to know that these videos are making your world better. I've brought up the request for the videos (and my book) in multiple other languages with my development team. Keep telling your friends about them. The bigger this tutorial series gets, the more quickly translations will get done. Thank you so much for watching and learning.
Yay!!! We got to meet your partner!!! I am terrifically grateful to you both for your collaboration and in sharing your passion. Doc I love your sense of humor, and Mr. Wonderful thanks for being so supportive to your fabulous lady. Was your surgically-induced menopause initially challenging for George? Have you guys thought of putting George in the camera's lens and having a Menopause George version? To rally to the men that are directly affected by their wonderful women going through reverse-puberty? My sweet husband (although when I'm aggravated/agitated/irritated/annoyed I think of him as anything but sweet) is beginning to learn. A big challenge for me in attempting to inform him and encouraging him to learn about peri/post-menopause, is garnering is genuine interest. I feel it would empower him in being more sensitive to what I'm (we are) going through... and WHOOO girl, am I GOING through it! His root is being a wonderful Southern-Gentleman, yet my mood-swings are too much to swallow, even with a sweet-tea chaser. But dang if him getting offended at wondering where his wonderful wife went doesn't occasionally turn him into a knuckle-dragging-hairy-ass.
@@MenopauseTaylorSometimes we want to believe that we can make things work, despite exhausting every effort to not see what is blatantly right in front of us. As you have shared in your videos, you do things 1,000% or not at all... so I know you gave your all. You gained the teachings and tools you were meant to harness and develop, and truly THAT is the only sense that can be made of such an entanglement. I hope you were not detrimentally hurt in the process. Thank you for all you do and sharing your sparkling, delightful self. 💕
Dear Barbie, I would love to go to one of your small group seminars it would be fantastic. Great to meet your Mr. wonderful ye look so happy. Thanks for all you are doing for us x
Oh I am loving watching your videos and I am learning so much. Thank-you Menopause Barbie. I love your props and how you explain everything so we can understand. Your videos are really fun. You and Mr. Wonderful look so happy!
Making these videos makes my heart soar. I've been accused of being overly happy in general, but nothing makes me happier than helping women with their menopause.
I look forward to find the right kind of solutions for me. Since my menopause is premature I have been advised that I should take hormones. I have been on hormones for almost seven years now, but switched from Trisekvens to Activelle four months ago. The biggest change I have noticed apart from tender breasts in the beginning is an acne problem and more night sweats. My ultimate goal is to feel more balanced, both physically and mentally. Since I got into menopause I can't seem to find myself.......Thank you for another video and the chance to meet your Mr. Wonderful.
You may have to try a few different hormones to find the one that's right for you. And then, after using the "right" one for a few years, you may discover that it's not so right anymore. That's because you aren't a robot. As you evolve, your needs will change, and you'll need to adjust your hormones accordingly. It's no different than birth control pills. There are multiple choices because we aren't all the same. And we don't stay the same. Start keeping a hormone diary. Keep track of what you're on and how it makes you feel. Then, take your diary into your gynecology appointment with you and let your doctor tweak things to get rid of the aspects you don't like.
Your husband is adorable! You can see the love and respect between you two. You made me laugh, and made my day! Another really helpful
Post. Xoxo
We are funny aren't we! We're complete opposites. He's a hippy and I'm a nerd.
Poor guy feel sorry for him. He is the poster Beta Man.
Loved meeting your own Mr. Right, thank you George for helping this bunch of menopausal girls! Thank you as always Dr Barbie.
Cute, isn't he! Thank you, Hazel, for your lovely comments and continued viewings. You're a sweetie.
Oh my God, you two are so cute together ! Tell him I said" thank you for everything he does for us".
I will.
Wowwww! what a nice couple!!! thanks for let us meeting your Mr. Wonderful....more Blessings!!!
Funny, isn't it!
I suffered with symptoms for a few years but didn’t realise that’s what it was. It really amped up a few months ago and my Doctor gave me HRT. The bit about your opinion being the only thing that’s important is so true. I felt a bit of a failure going on it so soon, like maybe I’d given in too quickly but within a few weeks I felt so much better physically and so much more calm. This is the right choice for me right now and that’s all I can go with really. No one gives you a medal for getting through without intervention and I thought, I could really suffer for the next 10 years plus and life is about now.
You don'even imagine how much you helped me... My gratitude and respect are "travelling"towards you.. Be blessed my dear.
I can imagine that there are so many light bulbs lighting up for you. And that's my goal. I want you to be the bright light that you are.
I appreciate everything you have done for humanity. You will forever be in my heart. I am 59 and have a typical story like many other women who is in her post menepause and never had any guidance. Now, my daughter will not have to go through what I went through. We send you the very best; forever.❤️
Thank you so much, I'm getting such an education. You are truly gifted in teaching.
I love doing this for you. It's an education every woman deserves.
My scattered brain wants to skip around but I am now watching these in order! I went through menopause beginning at age 39 and was finally “diagnosed” at 41. I felt like a lesser person. My friends can’t understand because they are so far away from it. Thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart for these videos. I have used so much trial and error (low dose birth control for three years, BioT estrogen and Progesterone pills for three months, and now, trying CombiPatch to try to keep costs down). I still don’t know what the future holds but I know that I won’t stop until I feel alive again. I am a fitness instructor and want to continue to work but some days, my body is just so tired.
@@peace2341 hi! Yes I think I found what is working pretty well. I am doing bio identical estrogen pellets and bio identical progesterone. I also have a small amount of testosterone pellets. I know it’s very controversial but it’s my body and I was so miserable that I’ve decided the rewards outright the risks. I do not have the Breast cancer gene in my family and none of those cancers (but never say never) I also have to really cut down my gluten and dairy. I still am constantly fighting my weight but I just take that day by day. Thanks for asking about it ❤️ I also keep my trace minerals up to par. That I’ve found is key as well.
I'm always left wanting more! Thank you! Can't wait for your next video:)
Don't worry. There will be many, many more.
My husband says similar things. What a wonderful world it would be if all men were like George. You are blessed.
LOVED meeting your Mr. Wonderful! He's a great supporter and obviously loves you very much! Thanks Taylor.
Well, he wasn't so wonderful after all. He turned out to be Mr. Horrible, and we're divorced. I'm much happier now.
Hooray! We got to meet your husband, George! I have been so curious to see the man who is delighted , not intimidated, by you, who supports and loves you with such a cuddly smile! Thank you George for your huge part in bringing us your Doctor/Wife, and helping and inspiring us all!
Not exactly. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr Horrible in disguise. We've been divorced for several years now. But I love giving you this education all by myself.
Awwww ... that's so sweet at the end. What a special guy.
Actually, it didn't work out that way. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. We've been divorced for years now.
@@MenopauseTaylor Aw, man ... so sorry that was your experience. :-(
@@CynsCorner I'm happier being married to my menopause students!
Hello Mr. Walter!!! You are a genuine sweetheart! Thank you both for all of your hard work!!
It's a joy to do this for you!
Thank Barbie for another informative video. Love meeting George and I'm sure he is your Mr. Wonderful. See you next week. . .
You're so welcome, Marilyn. I'm fortunate to have George's help.
I really appreciate your kindness, humor and your very much needed information and expertise. Thank you!
You are so very welcome, my dear. I think it's good to laugh and learn at the same time.
Awwwww! It was nice to meet George.. you two seem to have a truly great friendship and that’s a beautiful thing 😌
I've just discovered your channel and am so glad I did! I'm watching from the beginning and really enjoying what I'm learning so far. You explain things so well and I LOVE your unique character too! It's so nice to see you and your Mr Wonderful together! I'm looking forward to the test of your tutorials 😃
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. You'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that now you 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. I do them all online.
Oh, and Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. We're divorced. I create and deliver this menopause education to you by myself (and have since this video aired). I love every minute of it.
Love love LOVE your videos, I've learned so much! Thank you! All the way from Honduras!
Excellent! That means I'm doing my job.
I loved the way you loughed together. What a wonderful couple! May you always be happy! And of course I watch one video every night. My favorite time of day! I relax and I learn so much from you. Thank you, my friend!
How nice to know that I'm your bedtime story each night! Although I don't really believe "happily ever after" exists like it does in fairy tales, I do think that learning everything I have to teach you about menopause will bring you as close to it as possible. Thank you for making me feel like Cinderella!
Great video and the freedom of options is exhilaration. Y'all are a lovely couple and goodness, his hands are amazing 💕💕💕
Ha, ha. They are big, aren't they! His feet, too.
You are going to find so many things that make you happy as these videos go along.
Hi Dr Barbie, I came across from Angie’s Hot & Flashy channel. Currently binge watching your fabulous films - in order of course 😁 To see you and George together brightened my day. How adorable. The way you look at one another is just wonderful. Thank you from the UK 🌸🍃xx
Again, thank you! Thank you! Your husband is so nice and you two are lovely.
I really know how to pick em, don't I?
I LOVE your approach so much. I want to give a thousand likes!
I am so glad this education helps you, my dear. I love delivering it to you.
Thanks again Dr.Barbie!!!! So nice to meet George. So glad u have a Mr. wonderful. I do too!!! We r so blessed!!!!
It was fun meeting him, wasn't it. He wasn't expecting me to bring him in front of the camera. Surprise, surprise. (I did tell him what to wear that day, though. And he thought nothing of it, because he asks me what he should wear a lot.) It's wonderful that you have a Mr. Wonderful.
So nice to meet George! You made me laugh about the birth plan comparison. When I was pregnant with my first child, I was told to expect about an 18 hour labor. I packed books, VCR tapes (this was 26 years ago) and plenty to do to keep me entertained since I planned on having an epidural with minimal pain. Ha! It didn't work that way at all. I was feeling perfectly normal when my water broke one morning at 8:00 am and sudden rapid labor began immediately. My son was born 77 minutes later AFTER they made me wait for the doctor to arrive before I could push. There was no epidural or entertainment for me! With my second child, instead of a birth plan, I opted for Lamaze classes to be better prepared.
Your story is so apropos. That's how it goes. And I'm so glad you can appreciate the analogy.
Mr Wonderful is wonderful! I have one too! Thirty years of him so far!
I am using my boyfriend's you tube account. I have started watching your video but have been suffering peri menopausal symptoms for 7 to 8 years now. I am learning at the same time getting amused by your videos and props. I have liked your videos (from video #1) and some comments but this is the first time I am writing a comment. I want to let you know that I got tearful when you introduced your great husband. I thought, when I saw in one of your videos he handed you a prop, that he must be assisting you with the planning and everything for your educational videos. Thank you for passionately sharing your knowledge on menopause. Now, instead of dreading on my "freetime" or off work days, I look forward to my days off so I can listen/watch your videos while doing chores in the house. Please also share my gratitude to your husbands contributions to your videos.
You've done a great job and your teaching style is right up my alley
It was great to meet George. You two are hilarious! I've learned a lot so far. I'm 52 and post menopausal. I've done nothing so far but it's kickin' my butt. Really looking forward to hearing the details and benefits/risks of all options to see if there is anything out there right for me.
I'm going to bet that you find a bunch of options that are right for you. You're probably going to be surprised by some of your options. Most women have no idea about more than half of them. Stay tuned, my dear.
This is beautiful. The way you explain everything is very clear and comforting to me. Thank you Dr. Barbie. You are such a blessing a ❤️❤🙏.
You are so very welcome, my dear. I love giving you the menopause education you deserve.
Thank you very much for beautiful video again! It was nice to meet mr. Wonderful .
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I love the way Dr.Barbie explains everything Thank You for making this tutorials Thank You Thank You
You are so very welcome, my dear.
Ooh Dr. Taylor, when your nerdy guy prop started to ‘talk’ I
just lost it. I laughed so hard that I
had tears running down my face. Thank
you so much for that experience and for sharing all this valuable information!
Fun, isn't it! You never know what I'll do. I'm a goofball.
George has great taste in women and rings. Your ring is amazing! Thank you for your teachings. It’s been beyond enlightening for me!
Oh well. Mr. Wonderful was actually Mr. Horrible in disguise. We're divorced now.
But I love being married to all the women I'm helping with this menopause education!
I just love your videos and I've learned so much. I've started from the beginning.
Perfect. If you watch them in order, you won't miss a beat. Promise!
Thank You Mr. Wonderful . George Walter
Actually, Mr, Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. We've been divorced for years now. I make these videos for you all by myself. I guess I'm married to you, now. And, I'm a whole lot happier!
How sweet you and George. Awesome...
Well, not any more. We're divorced. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise.
I give you this education by myself, and love every minute of it.
Your adorable. I love your giggle !! Look forward to the next one
I didn't realize I giggled like that until I saw myself on these videos! Isn't that odd?
Loved this episode!!! Loved to see you and your Mr wonderful
Well, Mr. Wonderful was really MR. Horrible in disguise. We divorced by the time this video aired.
I love creating and delivering this menopause education to you!
@@MenopauseTaylor Sorry to hear this! I know the feeling myself. You are a magnificent human being and your contribution to this community is greatly appreciated ❤️
No worries, my dear. I love being married to this education much more than I loved being married to a man.@@soniarasteam988
Thank you to George too for all he does to make these videos a reality! It is important work you are both doing. You too are the Best!
Again, thank you for this tutorial! I will continue to wait and watch your tutorials. It's fun and easy to follow! While waiting for your tutorials, I've ordered your book. I can't wait to read it! Thanks M. Barbie for taking the time to share your knowledge! Also, it's nice to meet your Mr. Wonderful! Both of you look so happy!
Gina,
The book will make things even easier for you. If there are things you want to know before the video comes out, you can read ahead. Thank you so much for watching.
Barbie, every video makes me amazed about how much I don't know about menopause. Thank you and Mr. Wonderful for taking time and effort to teaching us. You are a blessing.
Janice, you are not alone. That's why I make these videos. I hope you're also seeing that learning everything you need to know is easy ... and fun.
Awww what a beautiful couple thank you for educating us barbie x
You and Mr. Wonderful are great!!! Hi Mr. Wonderful.
You're wonderful, Kimberly.
Hi George! Thank you for helping her to help us. You are Mr wonderful! Thank you!!
He says, "You're most welcome!"
I was feeling so lost not understanding what was going on with me and my marriage on the verge of its end. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You have given me hope.
Oh, Gloria, I'm here to help you. Please, please, watch these videos in order, and you'll discover all sorts of things that make complete sense and help you tremendously. Most couples have trouble because neither partner knows what's going on. This education will change that.
Menopause Taylor... thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I will continue to watch the videos I'mm on #22. Today I bought something over the counter called Amberen I will give it a try. I've been going at this alone since I don't have health insurance or even had any idea or understanding of what was happening to me. So I'm so greatful to have found you. I know I have a long way to go but at least now I have some hope.
I'm here to help you. You aren't alone anymore. Please pose questions any time. I'll answer them all.
Menopause Taylor thank you so much
Bravissimo George! Great tutorial I am learning so much! Thank you Dr. Barbie!
George is no longer in the picture. We're divorced. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise.
@@MenopauseTaylor Ahh understood & relateable. Thank you for spreading your research & loving on us in a big way. You deserve the love back in a huge way🥰 Love on you Dr..Barbie. Saving my $ to make an appt soon💝
@@rosalindaparrish9897 Thank you, my dear. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
Thank you menopause Barbie. I am informed and I am trying to make the best choice for me to control my hot flashes. You came into my life at the right time, menopause time.
And together, we'll make it a great time.
You are both wonderful!!! I have to thank you first of all, because I'm 45 and I think that I am peri-menopausal and your videos are really helping me trying to understand what is happening to me and find my way out. And last but not least I have to also thank your Mr. Wonderful for helping you out, doing all these amazing videos for all of us. God bless you both!!! Sending love from Athens, Greece!!!
You are so very welcome, my dear Suzana.
But you should know it's just me, and has been for years now. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. We're divorced. I'm married to giving you this education now, and couldn't be happier.
I love the ending ''Look at those big hands'' I laughed so loud,my husband came in to see what I was watching. 😆
Well, don't you think they're big? Actually, we have a wedding photo where George has his hands on either side of my head ... and my head is invisible! And his feet are huge, too!
You're my menopause guru, doctor. Thank you for all for info!
You are very welcome, my dear.
I loved this video so much! If all health concerns would be explained the same way as Dr. Taylor educates us about Menopause, the world would be a better/healthier place. I can't believe how much I have already learned in 13 episodes, definitely makes me feel empowered, and I'm very much looking forward to watching all the other videos. I made my "birth plan", and can't wait to see if it will change later on. But one thing I know for sure: NO Premarin for me! It contains horse urine, specifically pregnant mare's urine, and the horses raised for their urine are kept confined and pregnant, and their foals often end up in the slaughterhouse!
Keep watching, my dear. Everything you learn will make you more and more able to make choices the are best for you. If you ever want me to help you tailor all your options specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Yes I'm a firm believer in you do what's best for you my family was caught up in the housing crisis we lived between pet friendly couples shelters and tents. My husband did drugs I got involved with advocacy we were pressured into applying for housing programs that don't work for us and got no where so I let them know.I changed my mind and had a great time.on a 5 day walk to the state capitol to advocate for villages like the one we're at we.are independently housed we have many many many friends from this prolonged traumatic experience that are doing great in these subsidized units but they different qualifications and needs and we support them We all deserve to understand our many options whatever might be going on
Love how you explain things. So easy to understand. You have a gift.
I'm so glad this education is working for you. And you are going about getting it in the proper way by watching all my videos in order.
You and George are so sweet,you both compliment each other. You got a very wonderful relationship, so rare.
Aw, so nice to meet your husband at the end! The two of you exude so much joy! ❤️
Well, he's not my husband anymore. We've been divorced for years. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise.
@@MenopauseTaylor Oh no! I didn’t realize - whoops! When I say I understand, I truly mean I understand. Been there, done that! Sometimes it’s best to move on.
@@jeanneritchie7863 It's absolutely the very best thing I could have done!
Great one, finally got here, hot flashes and all. I will be needing you!
Madam, your video is quite healing. Lately, I was feeling very sad, almost
at the verge of tears.
I strongly feel that I am going through menopause, I am experiencing almost all of the symptoms. I consulted with gynaecologist and he suggested to test the FSH levels to be fully sure( test results are expected by Sunday).
I called my mother and told her about everything. It hurted greatly when she totally dismissed what I said, saying that I can't be getting menopause at an early age of 38, just because she got her's in her fifties.
Every human being is different, I don't know why people don't understand that. My cycle had always been quite shorter than most of the people (and hence more frequent). I guess that's why I exhausted my ova earlier.
Your video helped me to feel a lot better. Thanks a lot.
You know yourself better than anyone else does. Never doubt yourself, my dear.
And, PLEASE, PLEASE schedule a consultation with me. Premature menopause is a huge deal that will affect the rest of your life. I will make sure you know absolutely everything you need and deserve to know about it.
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU.
I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works:
1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone. (But very shortly, I’ll have my own video platform embedded in my website.)
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!
❤❤❤ You are an extraordinary woman, Dr Barbie. I love watching your tutorials. Thank you for being here for us. Bless you. 🙏🏻 xxx
You are so very welcome, my dear. And thank YOU.
Thanks for another great video and meeting your Mr Wounderful, I'm going to hug and kiss mine for all his support through my hormonal roller coaster ride:D
Yea, I think our husbands deserve kiss or two. They really do put up with a lot. But we're worth it, don't you think!
You are the sweetest ever and you and Mr. Wonderful make the perfect couple. Thank you so much for teaching us and doing so with so much care. I wish you were my care provider but so thankful I came across your channel. I'm a 39 year old mom to three girls and always been so curious about how to keep my body healthy and feel good for my age at every stage of my life. I want to teach my girls everything I learn from you and prepare them for all of the stages and phases we women go through. I rarely write a review or comment because my life is so busy but had to take few moments to tell you Thank You.

This is just such a kind comment.

Thank you so much. The information you provide helps me to prepare myself rather than just dreading and fearing the day I'm confronted with menopause.
Your husband's cameo was a real treat...and those hands - wow! 😀
Ha ha. They are big, aren't they? And his feet too!
Don't worry. You will be so prepared that you welcome and embrace menopause as a time when you can do everything your way.
Thank you both for your caring and dedication to teach all of us women whom you don't know . Thank you
What matters is that I know you're there. And I know you need this information. That's enough for me.
This video is great! I’ve been watching all the videos in order and they’ve been very helpful. Having gone through chemo and radiation 20 years ago, I want to make sure I’m educated for this big decision. With my history, I have to take a lot into consideration. I’m 46 and peri menopausal. My doctor told me I could start a low dose of hormones and I told him to hold off until I finish all these videos. 😂😂 He probably thinks I’m crazy but I’m used to being proactive about my health. If I hadn’t insisted that a swollen lymph node wasn’t normal for me, I wouldn’t have caught my cancer as early as I did. Thanks again! I’m looking forward to the rest of these. - Carolina
Hello, Mr. Wonderful! 😄
Carolina,
You can shortcut by scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. And then you can still watch the videos. I'll tailor everything specifically to YOU in a consultation, unlike in the videos.
And Mr. Wonderful was really Mr, Horrible in disguise; so we're divorced.

@@Livingtheretiredlife Thank you so very much, my dear. I'm so sorry about your husband's Alzheimer's. And I'll be teaching you how to avoid it in the huge Alzheimer's unit (45 videos) that will begin in early 2021.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you and that's so WONDERFUL. I'll be sure to be all caught up by then.
@@Livingtheretiredlife Yes you will!
OMG when you said joint pain (@20:26) the emotions just came to the surface. I had no idea this could be a symtom of menopause. Lightbulb moment. I need to get into see a Doc. Trying to go day to day all this is not working. And yes you have shown me I DO HAVE A CHOICE for me...
Oh, Denise, you brought a tear to my eye. There's an explanation for everything. I'll be giving you at least one tutorial on joint pain. And I'll be giving you a few tutorials on exercises to prevent and manage joint pain. I'm a severe arthritic, so I really know this stuff. My arthritis is the reason I retired, and I'm really a train wreck. Based on the extent of my disease, I should be in a wheel chair!
That will be fantastic. Will look forward to seeing that episode. I still get up every day and function. But it is not fun.
We're going to find some fun for you!
I am enjoying your tutorials enormously. I am always willing to educate myself towards a better quality of life. It was a treat to "meet" your darling husband, too.
Dianna,
I'm so happy that you[re educating yourself on material that will serve you for the rest of your life. I can assure you that you'll draw on something you learned in these videos every single day.
I came to this video at a great time. I tried bc pills to manage my symptoms. I tried for 3 months and felt better in some ways but has some horrible symptoms too. Being on birth control also made me very nervous and i decided to just stop them and find another route.
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.
Ha! Nice to meet the REAL Mr. W! 😄 Thank you! I've been choosing NO treatment for about a year now, used OTC herbal meds for awhile but now the hot flashes are finally diminishing. But I reserve the right to change my mind after more episodes! Thanks again!❤️😊
You absolutely can change your mind as many times as you wish. Keep watching and you'll be sure that all your decisions are well-informed ones. I'm happy to hear that your hot flashes are subsiding.
OMG you guys are so adorable......
Thanks again for another awesome informative video....
you are amazing......😘
Ahhh. How sweet of you. Thank you.
Thank you so much for being so wonderful and sharing your expert knowledge and educating us in such a fun way. Thank you also Mr Right for all you help in making these videos. Lot's of love to the two of you. ❤
Well, it's just me, because Mr. Wonderful was really Mr Horrible in disguise. And we've been divorced for years now. I'm much happier being married to this mission of educating you.
Thank you both! You are such a great couple! thank you thank you for all your hardwork!
It's our pleasure, Jessica. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
i had a gynecologist who literally stormed out of the office because i didnt want to take hrt.she said nothing else would work.i felt so alone because it took months to get the appointment.
That is so unacceptable. Yet, so many women tell the same story. You deserve an education so that you know the pros and cons of all the options. And you deserve a professional who will help you manage your menopause your way.
Keep watching. You'll be shocked at what you don't know. Much of what I'll teach you is practical information, like how to work with professionals, and what to expect from each. If you watch these videos in order, you'll probably more than many of the professionals.
thanks!i love how you get straight to the point.i have learned a great deal so far.it is helping
I hope you walked out and never returned. I had a gynecologist whom I liked speak condescendingly to me when I went to him in pain from huge fibroids the had previously not been big and not been a problem. He was in a huff because i was three months late on my annual visit. He had done a myomectomy for me years before. I left him. There are too many other VERY GOOD docs in Houston to accept that behavior. Now, I'm thinking about embolization.
Maxsane Mitchell Please consider removing and replacing little by little yet steadily all animal products (meat, cheese, dairy) from your diet because eating them causes excess hormones thereby causing hormonal imbalances. Fibroids are caused by unbalanced hormones. I had fibroids that were small then began to grow slowly. I got pregnant with my first child and they grew like crazy. I had a myomectomy then upon the counsel given to me from an Seventh Day Adventist medical missionary, I prayerfully changed my diet to vegetarian- total plant based diet. I then conceived my second and all the way to finally my fourth child all without fibroid regrowth. Fibroids usually grow during pregnancy but that didn't happen to me because once my hormones were balanced that removed the cause of the fibroid's growth.
I do hope that you find good help and thrive in good health. Thanks for sharing your experience. Finding a good doctor is vital. May God bless you.
Maxsane Mitchell i will never go back to that clinic again, they did have nice sofas in the waiting area. I told the gyno that i was having painful sex and her reply was well you cant be 21 forever.shelooked tired herself and i figured she maybe suffering burnout.luckily i dont give up easily when it comes to health.
thanks for all of your time and information you are giving us. I love your videos and look forward to them. your mr. right is so sweet and you both look so happy! thanks :-)
George has been a great help to me with these videos. I thought you should "meet" him. I love doing this.
You are so great at getting the information across. You are entertaining and just fun to watch and learn from. Thank you for all this education and guidance. And thank you George for all your help!
You are so welcome, my dear. But it's just me. George and I divorced. I'm married and committed to making sure you get the education you deserve, instead. It's a much better match for me.
So sweet! You have a great husband! Thank you for all these videos.
No husband any more (thankfully). Mr Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, time & life with us!!! Information is priceless!!!! Thank you !!!!!
I love knowing that you're enjoying these, Sheryl. Thank you so much for watching.
Oh that ending was the CUTEST!! 🤩💯💕
Oh well. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. We've been divorced for about 5 years. I'm much happier now!
you two look lovely! thanks for working together for our wellness. God bless you both!
It was nice to meet your Mr. Wonderful. I am learning so much from your videos. Even though I am late to the party I am hoping to manage my post menopause my way.
Oh well! Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. We've been divorced for over 3 years. I'm much happier now.
@@MenopauseTaylor I am so behind in the videos. Just started binge watching. 🤦♀️
@@debbielale6417No worries. Every woman who watches them in order binges. You'll understand everything for the first time in your life.
aawww what a lovely couple you make, you look so happy together it's wonderful to see ....watching you every day! can't wait to find out all I need to know how to manage my menopause thank you Barbie x
Oh Barbie! I wish you have these videos in Spanish to send it to all my family and friends in Peru ( I am from there) !! I am sharing you to my friends here in the USA (older and younger) so they can learn like I am doing ! Thank you so much! Muchisimas gracias!
Oh, it's so wonderful to know that these videos are making your world better. I've brought up the request for the videos (and my book) in multiple other languages with my development team. Keep telling your friends about them. The bigger this tutorial series gets, the more quickly translations will get done.
Thank you so much for watching and learning.
Yay!!! We got to meet your partner!!! I am terrifically grateful to you both for your collaboration and in sharing your passion. Doc I love your sense of humor, and Mr. Wonderful thanks for being so supportive to your fabulous lady.
Was your surgically-induced menopause initially challenging for George? Have you guys thought of putting George in the camera's lens and having a Menopause George version? To rally to the men that are directly affected by their wonderful women going through reverse-puberty?
My sweet husband (although when I'm aggravated/agitated/irritated/annoyed I think of him as anything but sweet) is beginning to learn. A big challenge for me in attempting to inform him and encouraging him to learn about peri/post-menopause, is garnering is genuine interest. I feel it would empower him in being more sensitive to what I'm (we are) going through... and WHOOO girl, am I GOING through it! His root is being a wonderful Southern-Gentleman, yet my mood-swings are too much to swallow, even with a sweet-tea chaser. But dang if him getting offended at wondering where his wonderful wife went doesn't occasionally turn him into a knuckle-dragging-hairy-ass.
Uh, Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. We've been divorced for 3 years now (thankfully).
@@MenopauseTaylorSometimes we want to believe that we can make things work, despite exhausting every effort to not see what is blatantly right in front of us. As you have shared in your videos, you do things 1,000% or not at all... so I know you gave your all. You gained the teachings and tools you were meant to harness and develop, and truly THAT is the only sense that can be made of such an entanglement. I hope you were not detrimentally hurt in the process. Thank you for all you do and sharing your sparkling, delightful self. 💕
@@kmka2206 I always turn my negatives into positives. I'm much happier now.
Dear Barbie, I would love to go to one of your small group seminars it would be fantastic. Great to meet your Mr. wonderful ye look so happy. Thanks for all you are doing for us x
The small groups are fun. I haven't had one for a while as I've focused on these videos. But stay tuned, I'd love to resume them. I'll let you know.
Oh I am loving watching your videos and I am learning so much. Thank-you Menopause Barbie. I love your props and how you explain everything so we can understand. Your videos are really fun. You and Mr. Wonderful look so happy!
Making these videos makes my heart soar. I've been accused of being overly happy in general, but nothing makes me happier than helping women with their menopause.
I look forward to find the right kind of solutions for me. Since my menopause is premature I have been advised that I should take hormones. I have been on hormones for almost seven years now, but switched from Trisekvens to Activelle four months ago. The biggest change I have noticed apart from tender breasts in the beginning is an acne problem and more night sweats. My ultimate goal is to feel more balanced, both physically and mentally. Since I got into menopause I can't seem to find myself.......Thank you for another video and the chance to meet your Mr. Wonderful.
You may have to try a few different hormones to find the one that's right for you. And then, after using the "right" one for a few years, you may discover that it's not so right anymore. That's because you aren't a robot. As you evolve, your needs will change, and you'll need to adjust your hormones accordingly.
It's no different than birth control pills. There are multiple choices because we aren't all the same. And we don't stay the same.
Start keeping a hormone diary. Keep track of what you're on and how it makes you feel. Then, take your diary into your gynecology appointment with you and let your doctor tweak things to get rid of the aspects you don't like.
Hubby is too cute and sweet! Lucky girl! I got one just like him!
You two are incredibly adorable. Continue doing the great things that you accomplish together!
Sorry, we're divorced now!
You are so intelligent, informative and also very funny and adorable to boot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
What a kind list of compliments. Thank you very much. I believe that learning is best when the teacher is having fun. And I'm having loads of fun!
So cute to meet your Mr. Wonderful
Actually, he's not so wonderful ... or still my husband. We've been divorced for years now. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise.
