So interesting dr Taylor! Never thought of it like this. And with all racial issues going on I must admit I was rather confused how many races are there and how to categorise some people. Great video!
I am Swedish , Cuban and Japanese and I kind of resent it when I have to and I ave been told I have to fill out "white:" on an application because I have naturally blue eyes. I do look Swedish but I am not 100% white. This is an interesting video that I wish more people would believe this way. I get annoyed at the racial tension and ideas which are not really correct. I was raised in a black area and went to a performing arts high school that was mostly black. They have a lot of the same judgement of each other. I read your article. It is so true here even its just that the terminology is different here. People get all worked up about race and it bothers me! I never heard of a religious affiliation affecting disease. What you say about that makes a lot of sense. I do see the question on applications I always thought it was a set up for discrimination. (I am a cynical New Yorker) Anyway thank you for this video very informative!
I'm not sure but am thinking of ancestors such as Ashkenazi Jews may have increased risk as in breast cancer or risk from Mediterranean areas when looking at disease risk; then I may be wrong too.
Menopause Taylor, you asked if I was chocked. Yes, I am! 😄 I am chocked over all your knowledge and all what you know. I shrink beside you! 🤭 . And I could not learn all what you teached! I am so impressed of you. I say thank you from Stockholm, and I 👋🏼, like you!
The one drop rule is ridiculous to me, it’s all become so very complicated. That’s interesting about the “black” cab driver in South Africa. And the pencil test! Oh my gosh that’s crazy!!
Interesting video and looking forward to how you tie the recent videos to menopause. I have a question, 49, symptomatic but still cycling irregularly 16-40 days in between periods, I am not wanting to take the pill which seems to be the most popular treatment, will HRT be alright for this? I do not want to drive my estrogen too high since it’s my understanding with HRT my ovaries will still make hormones but the pill turns them off and is controlled by the hormones in the pill. I guess I’m still stuck by all the teachings I’ve heard about the dangers of estrogen dominance and what that camp teaches. I think from watching your videos that my estrogen is on the decline so it should be okay to take hrt?
Your question is very difficult to follow, and it really sounds like you need a one-on-one consultation to address it properly. However, if you're asking whether it's okay to begin HRT before becoming post-menopausal, the answer is "Yes, it is fine." But so much of what you wrote is fraught with misconception and confusion that you really should consider having a consultation if you really want to understand what's going on.
I'm a technological idiot, myself! I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime, Facebook Messenger. WhatsApp, and the phone. You choose the platform. 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. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I would need all these things at least 1 week before your consultation with me. 3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points put 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 48 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 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 (15-minute or 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 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 form 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!
Very interesting to learn the true meanings of those words and their history! I have transcribed many census and recalled the W for White and the B for Black. Looking forward to next week!
I love historical understandings. I always delve into the history of everything scientific or medical and trace the progression over time. It makes all the difference in the world in terms of understanding how we ended up where we are today.
My mother's side of the family is 100% French--Filles du Roi (King's Daughter) and from the most prolific founding French families who settled in 1634. The list of famous distant cousins is astonishing. That family also brought an age onset recessive gene disease of the eye muscles. My father's is all Ukrainian, er we think as my grandfather was mysterious and never ever talked about his past. I'm 4th generation.
Very interesting, and insightful topic. I have done 23 & me, and ancestry. Hanky panky in my ancestors, made my results very interesting. Thank you for your insightfulness.
@@MenopauseTaylor Yes I surely did. I am French, Spanish, Portuguese. I knew all about since I was born in Portugal and spent many summers in France and those areas, after moving to the states. The hanky panky I found out was on my mothers side. we had a male back in the late 1800's who lived in Angola and had a child with a black lady. Explains why my mothers side of the family were so dark complected. I got my dad's skin coloring, pale as can be. Unfortunately my mom and her siblings have passed so I had to rely on my cousins to find out where the African came from. Hanky Panky, no hiding it with all the DNA testing going on. My race is a mixture or a mutt as you nicely put it, just like so many of us.
It’s a shame that a mixture of race can be referred to as ‘impure’..... I think of the primary colors on a color wheel that when mixed make secondary..then tertiary and so on! Because of this we have endless shades and hues that contribute to a beautiful variety!! Could it be that this same principle illustrates how the first human couple were created with certain ‘primary traits’ in the written code of DNA, that with each generation contribute to the beautiful variety? 🧐🤓
Another excellent tutorial! Thank you Dr Barbie. I have to laugh as a child I said I was a mutt when asked about heritage. I've known much of my family's background which is varied but gained more insight having my dna tested some years ago. Truly you're a wealth of information and continue to astound, educate and entertain me. Best wishes for a wonderful rest of your summer. 💝
How would you define "Latin"? Would I be considered Hispanic and/or Latin, although I was born in the US but my parents are Cuban and I speak Spanish? I am aware that Spanish is part of the Romance languages.
"Hispanic" refers to people with ancestry from Spain and Latin-American Spanish-speaking countries. "Latino" refers to people with ancestry from Latin American countries, regardless of their spoken language. This includes Portuguese, Brazilian. Cubans are hispanic.
@Menopause Taylor Right! I enjoyed this one. It's kind of sad to me, especially in these times now, how so many people truly do not know these differences. Never even thought about hoq important they could be in the risk factors for medical purposes relates to diseases.
@@yvettebennett6170 I'm with you. This should be common knowledge. But, I guess it's a lot like so much of what should be common sense. The problem is that they aren't very common.
I take a half dosage of Celebrex, and anti-inflammatory, I refuse to take any pain meds. I use a lot of heat, eat all the right foods, and exercise (with no impact, very light weights, no speed, and lots of balance ... including yoga) daily. I manage it with my lifestyle more than anything.
as life expectancy increases osteoporosis has become an epidemic in many regions around the world, and I'm not sure if that's because 1)we live longer or 2) it's genetic and there's nothing you can do to fix it? 3) is it related to geographical location (lack of sun) 4)or/and lack of education on bone health. What percentage each of these factors carry? bone health is another bewildering topic like menopause with many conflicted opinions.
I'll be giving you a whole unit on osteoporosis. It will encompass over 30 videos. I can assure you that you'll know everything about it. There's more to it than you can possibly imagine.
So interesting dr Taylor! Never thought of it like this. And with all racial issues going on I must admit I was rather confused how many races are there and how to categorise some people. Great video!
There are so many things like this for which "common knowledge" isn't very common.
I'm a German Canadian married to an Italian Canadian, our kids are the best of those two cultures. Very insightful vlog. Thx.
You have a very nice mix!
Amongst the knowledge you impart is an infectious giggle! Love it!
So many people say that, but I don't even realize I'm giggling. I'm so glad it isn't annoying. So far, everyone says they like it.

I will. Don't worry. I love this.
You make me laugh, so informative and entertaining ❤️
I've never thought of myself as funny. But, apparently, I am.
@@MenopauseTaylor you are very witty :)
Well, thank you.
That is where a box named Mutt should be in applications, lol!
You're right. A lot of us are mutts.
Most concise and fun classification on these terms
I'm grad you enjoyed it, my dear Linda.
They should teach this in every high school in the country. Maybe people will except each other more.
