This channel should have millions of subs and your videos should be watched by millions of women and men. All over the world. Menopause is a serious issue which needs to be taken seriouly.
Thank you for all your efforts Doctor.
You are so very welcome!
And I agree that this education is one that all women deserve. That is why I provide it here on RUclips, free of charge.
But education is not very popular. And the topic of menopause is not very popular. As a realist, I know that I will not see a menopause revolution or have millions of viewers in my lifetime. (I'm 65.)
I literally can’t thank you enough for your videos, I’m early 40’s and I am desperate to be well prepared. I’m working through your videos in order and you’re taking my fears away. You’re wonderful and I wish you were my doctor! Xx
This is just such a kind comment. Thank you so much for telling me this, Louise. You are my dream. My greatest goal with this education is for women to get it in their 20s & 30 so that they know everything they need to know when the time comes. I applaud you!
True!
Me too!
You are a natural teacher. You have a gift.
You're the gift. The fact that you appreciate what I teach you is the greatest gift of all. Thank you so much, Shell.
Absolutely
@@MenopauseTaylor Dear Miss Taylor, estrogel has helped me fall asleep but wake up between 3 and 4am and cannot fall back to sleep. I also take prometrium nightly. I'm healthy 53 still bleeding....would birth control be a better option for early waking? Thank you my dear for your invaluable information.
@@pamw3238
It is clearly obvious that your HRT is not right for you.
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.
Thank you very much for all the hard work you put into these videos. You are doing a wonderful service to us menopausal women. Be blessed.
Oh, you're so welcome, Janice. I feel blessed just knowing that I'm helping so many women.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you
@@tresawill6247 You're very welcome, my dear.
Very informative. Learned so much. There is no doctor in the office that would take the time to explain all options. Thank you !!!!
Dr Taylor, you are marvellous! Thank you so much for your dedication to teach women the health care at Menopause. Particularly for those women have severe symptoms & don't even know they were all linked to Menopause. I learnt so much & start my HRT now. 👍👏
Hi Dr. Barbie, just wanted to let you know since I found your channel a wealth of information and your a qualified Dr I have recommended your channel to everyone ! Thanks for helping us women ! ox Denise Ps Iam post menopause, find your channel still helpful !
Oh, thank you, Denise. And even though you're post-menopausal, I can promise you that you'll need this information again and again for the rest of your life. You're not a robot and your needs will change over time. So I applaud you for watching and learning this vital information. I love making these videos.
Me too. Put every woman I know on to her channel.
You are so good at explaining complex information so simply....I also love that necklace....your whole outfit is beautiful but that necklace caught my eye.
It's Michal Negrin, an Israeli jewelry designer. She made my dress, too. I LOVE Michal Negrin things. They're all very feminine. Go to michalnegrin.com.
I'm so pleased that these videos are helping you, Sherri.
@@MenopauseTaylor Tell me about the hat. Thank you for your help. I was adjusting my dosage and just not doing it right.
@@lanajeanvecchione9659 I have hundreds of hats, I wear a hat every day. I love them.
Beautiful Dress, Beautiful Necklace, Beautiful earrings and Beautiful Barbi! The necklace matches that dress perfectly! Such a blessing I found your channel. I’m 46 and the joint paint has been unreal for about a year now. Learning so much- and of course I’m watching from the beginning! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!💜
Well, thank YOU, my dear Jennifer. I'm jut so glad you'r a student here at "Menopause University." getting the education you deserve.
Is there anyone else that is as glad and appreciative as I am !? Thanks a million👍💋
Sorry, I meant for finding this channel.
You are an absolute doll, and I am so glad you're here. Just know that I respond to these comments here on RUclips daily. But, if you watch the videos in order, you probably won't need me.
Thank you so much for these informative videos! I have been suffering from menopausal symptoms for several years, almost a decade. This gave me the ability to guide my doctor on my preferred treatment options. I requested a FemRing and I was prescribed a different type of VagiRing and told it's the same thing. Due to these videos, I knew they were NOT the same thing and let my doctors know this was not an equivalent alternative. I would have continued to suffer through and would have thought the treatment wasn't working. Once again, a BIG THANKS for all you do!
You are so very welcome, my dear. I always tell women who have consultations with me that their new "problem" is that they know 90% MORE than doctors.
The time you spend and the information you provide is truly selfless and amazing. Can't wait to schedule my consult with you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are a wonderful lady.
Hw sweet of you. I'm thrilled to do this for you.
Wow thank you so much for the incredibly helpful information. I’m 54 and made an appointment to see my Gyn to discuss hormones. Am in peri-meno and having some symptoms, the worst being insomnia and night sweats, which of course lead to brain fog, fatigue and moodiness. The worst! It’s a vicious cycle and I’m finally ready to take action. I have a Mirena iud that I’m very happy with and after watching this video, am leaning toward either an estradiol patch or the Femring. I know there is no quick fix but I’m attracted to something that is simple, safe and broadly beneficial for my goals. Thank you for the education and giving me the facts so I can discuss my options with my doctor armed with knowledge. Very empowering💪!
You are so very welcome, my dear. And never hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you need my help.
Thanks for sharing I love her videos too and I’m about to get the Merina IUD next week a bit scared of it but I want the least side effects option of progesterone and I understand this is it I’m also going to start the patches
Ive had a hard few years with Just not being me I’ve still found joy but it’s been a different mind set
SoCal functions hard where as never used to be just situational anxiety that limits my life I get flushes and sweats I’m sure it’s menapause thanks menapause Barbie
You are so unique and gorgeous thank u and thanks for sharing your story of IUD above too to u
@@MenopauseTaylor thank u
I’m starting with Merina and estrogen patch next week
I’ve found joy in last couple years yet not myself can’t attend social things without awful anxiety and sweats so I look forward to new life x how do we book a time with you ?
I love you so much for all this information you have excellently shared! You are a delight!
Well I love you, too. And this is the education you (and all women) deserve. I applaud you for using it to your advantage.
You have been the BEST, most knowledgeable, most thorough youtuber on Menopause. THANK YOU!!
Well what a laudatory compliment. Thank you so much for your confidence in me.
I just love giving you this education. It's what all women deserve. And, if I have my way, we'll start a menopause revolution and all women will get this education in their 20s & 30's.
I just love your videos Dr. Barbie.You are doing such an amazing job teaching us so much about menopause.You are providing us with so much information which is so much appreciated.Thank-you for the huge effort you put into making these videos.
They are brilliant. Thank-you so much!
Oh, Julia, I'm so thrilled to be able to help you learn this critical information. Thank you for appreciating it so much. That's my big reward.
I found you searching for estrogen information and i found you , I watch 4 of you videos, you are a incredible teacher, thank you for your time !
Welcome to "Menopause University." If you start with video 1 and watch them all in order, I assure you that you will understand everything. And if you ever want my personal help in tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
@@MenopauseTaylor I watched many of your videos last night, how much you charge for the consultation? I got a later after my Mamogram they said: Your breast density on this mammogram was assessed as. Breast density is one of many risk factor that can impact your risk of cancer . I am post menopausal , never to HRT , Am wondering what’s your thoughts on that
@@ylluz1 I charge $200 per hour for a consultation. Just go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule. And I will address all your concerns in the consultation.
I took estradiol 0.05 (patch) and Progesterone 100 mg caps. I still have my uterus. Thank you!!
You are very welcome.
Dr. Taylor reminds me of Sarah Jessica Parker! Both beautiful women! Thank you for all you do! I want to support your efforts, so I will be purchasing your book.
Well, I love supporting your menopause, my dear Anne Marie. This is the education you deserve. And both my book and these videos will arm you with everything you need to know to succeed in managing your menopause your way.
This has been SUPER helpful. I started off thinking I knew what I wanted to do and now I'm leaning in a different direction that I feel will be the better fit for me, all thanks to the info in this video.
I love knowing that you are here, getting the menopause education you deserve, my dear.
Don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you want everything tailored specifically to YOU. I do them all online.
Where have you been all my life! ☺️🙏
What a kind comment.
Thank you so much for your podcast and videos! You really helped me to navigate what to expect from doctors and (to set my expectations correctly) and who to look for on top of all the knowledge I have gained from you. Thank you thank you! I admire you for being such a wonderful teacher and shining light on something that’s so important but neglected. ❤❤❤
Oh my goodness! You are so wonderful! Thank you so much for this info! I’m 42 and beginning to feel some changes already… you really gave me a couple of aha moments and I’m so much clearer now on the route I’d go down when I need to. So helpful… thank you so much ❤️
I love your energy and smile and the all the positive energy you transfer via these informative tutorials!! Gob bless you and your life!!
What a sweet sentiment. Thank you. I love knowing that these videos are helping you.
Thank you so much for these videos. I now live in a new/different state and used the information you provided to find a new doctor. This video helped me to understand so much more than I did even with the info the doctor provided at my appointment. You have calmed my fears and empowered me with all the info given in these videos. I am so grateful for you and all the work you have done here. Thank you.
You have no idea how wonderful it is to know that these videos are helping you. I am so honored! My very goal is to make everything as smooth for yours possible. Thank you for letting me know this is making a difference.
You're teaching it correctly. The assumption that we are not aware or have limited awareness is correct. Uncle Google isn't as smart as everyone thinks.
My approach is to assume you know nothing at all, Jeanette. That's not because I think women are ignorant, but because you don't know what you don't know. And it's because I would rather tell you too much than too little. Even thought you've heard a word, you don't necessarily know what it means. Plus, there's a very fine line between "ed"(educating) and "ad" (advertising). And we live in a world in which ads are everywhere, but ed is not.
Thank you so much for appreciating my teaching style. And keep watching to get the education you deserve.
Barbie, your channel is awesome and hopefully will get women talking more about menopause, especially since it is inevitable! If possible, I would like your opinion. I am 47 and experiencing all of the fun menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes, night sweats, dry skin, irritability, etc… My periods have been irregular for several years. In the past two years I went 11 months without a period then only one period and now I am 7 months without a period. My doctor recently prescribed birth control (Lomedia 24 FE 1mg/20mcg) which I have never taken before, for what she calls peri-menopause and stated that since I am in very good health and only 47 she is comfortable with me on birth control since it provides a higher dose of estrogen until age 50 and then we will visit hormone therapy. She felt hormone testing to be pointless, but ordered an FSH test per my request. My level 3 years ago was 9 mIU/ml but is now 163.1 mIU/ml, which is a post menopause level. So now I am even more confused on whether or not I should use the birth control or ask for Hormone Therapy. What is your opinion on birth control for treatment of menopause symptoms? I have tried online research and have only found information of treating peri-menopause with birth control. I’ve also learned that using birth control overrides your own estrogen/progesterone, whereas Hormone replacement supplements. If I use birth control now, when I opt to go off of it, will this have cause my ovaries to make even lower amounts of estrogen and other hormones? Does your book cover information regarding birth control for menopause? Thank you for any information you can offer!
Katherine,
My book does cover all of this. Here's your answer: Birth control pills are completely safe for you, and you can probably stay on them until the age of 55.
While your FSH did indicate post-menopause (at the moment it was drawn), it's a rollercoaster if you're peri-menopausal. So it could bone in the normal range in you draw it again later.
Birth control pills are higher in dose than hormone replacement therapy (HRT). But if you're still having occasional periods or can still get pregnant, you're much better off on them. Plus, they have some great long-term benefits that women don't seem to know about or acknowledge. (I'll be covering birth control pills in video 42 and HRT in video 43.)
If you start HRT before you are post-menopausal, you might have bleeding irregularities that confuse everyone. And you can still get pregnant on HRT.
I think you're in a very enviable position, my dear!
Katherine Robinson Great question. We sound very alike, no history or current health problems and using OCP’s. I’m thankful for the Dr’s response. We are the same age, assuming you’re about 51-52 now. I was glad to hear they are fine to take until ~55 and they actually have health benefits. I haven’t watched the video she referenced yet, although now I’m excited to find out. What did you decide for treatment? I am considering my options, but am still very undecided. Thank you!!
Thank you for clearly describing the difference between Estring and Femring. My gyn prescribed Estring, and it had been a while since I'd read which is which, so I thought nothing of it. THEN, I reviewed the prescribing information, and realized she had failed to give me the systemic remedy I'd requested.
I emailed, asking she correct the prescription. No answer. I got the sense she was intimidated by the Women's Health Initiative study, so much of which has had to be reinterpreted because of poor study design & analysis.
I need a systemic medication. I just needed to hear another professional, you, articulate + confirm what I've read.
Oh, and, by the way, I'm a doctor myself. Yes, a veterinarian, not an ob/gyn, but, dang! If your patient has a medical degree and makes a specific request for a specific medicine, don't you respect her intelligence?
Even lacking a medical degree, if a patient makes a specific request for a specific treatment, do you not respect her intelligence?!!! Sheesh!
Thank you for your great service to your fellow females. And I loved the joke about your male partner is going to insist he can feel the ring! 🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately, menopause is THEE most neglected topic on Earth. There is no education whatsoever on it in medical school. And four-year OB/GYN residency programs devote only 1% of the time to menopause.
It's highly likely that your doctor was completely unaware of the existence of two estradiol vaginal rings for two entirely different purposes.
I'm re-watching this invaluable video as I am not sure that Estrogel is working for me, and want to learn about other estrogen products that could be more effective for me. Thank you Dr Taylor!! You are truly a godsend to women everywhere.
You are so welcome, Lara. You will discover that, any time you re-watch a video, you learn even more, and at a whole new level. I am so proud of you for getting this education.
And don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor if you want my personal help in tailoring everything to YOU.
@@MenopauseTaylor Many thanks; you are a generous lady to be taking the time to share this invaluable information. I will most definitely be scheduling a consult with you. I have a BMD scheduled and will consult after I get the results, so that I have a good comprehensive consultation! XX
@@larajohnson8174 I look forward to meeting you and helping you, my dear.
May I say Dr Taylor. This information should be in every women's note book "well in advance" when considering which path to take...I'm so looking forward to being further educated. Thank you so much XXXX
My big dream is for all women to get this education in their 20s & 30s. That would truly change the world.
Love this video! Thank you, Dr. B. for sharing your knowledge and passion. You're such a joy to watch and listen to!
Well, I'm just so glad my video series is helping you. If you watch all the videos in order, starting with the very first one, I can assure you that you will understand absolutely everything. Everything should always make perfect sense. If it doesn't, you don't have all the facts.
Literally ingesting all this information. What a blessing you are!!!💜
Well, thank you, my dear. I am so glad you're here, getting the menopause education you deserve. As long as you watch all my videos in order, you will understand everything.
God Bless you, Menopause Barbie! I am taking your advice and (carefully) watching each video, in order! They are helping me so much!! It is UNBELIEVABLE how much misinformation is out there. I can't wait to be able to do a consultation with you!
I love knowing that you are now connecting all the dots. You see: The truth makes sense!
Beautiful Barbie! thank You for this, I fall into the V/J category. I have been having all of the V/J symptoms you quoted, but I don’t think the ring would work for me,I can’t even stand them on my fingers, let alone down there. I’m watching & learning & loving all your outfits! You go girl! Gotta love ya! 💐🌸🌼🌺🌷🇬🇧🇨🇦M
Michelle,
Don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me if you want my personal help in finding your best options. All you have to do is schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for ALL that you bring to women!!! You are a jewel!
I just have to comment on how gorgeous you are! Your skin is absolutely flawless! How can I look as radiant and “glowy” as you? Do you use specific skin care products you’d like to share?😌😌😌Thank you!
I agree your skin is wonderful! 😊
Wow! That was *such* an enlightening video today. There's such a drive to make us all hysterical over not just breast cancer, but so much other stuff as well. It's ..... shocking. Thank you for this brilliant video. Consider yourself hugged.
What a sweet sentiment. I feel that hug! And I'm a big hugger. Thank you, my dear.
Working my way through a lot of these videos. Just started a week ago HRT and I am 60 years old, almost 10 years out of menopause. I would be really curious to know how women do starting at my age, how long do they stay on them, and what are the real benefits that they’ve noticed. I seem to be really concerned about the risks having never been told about the benefits when I went into menopause. Please, I would just love to know what women my age are experiencing starting later on HRT.
Never worry about anybody but yourself. And I can tailor everything specifically to YOU in a consultation. That way you'll do what's right FOR YOU. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME and I do them all online.
Wow so good can’t take estrogen by itself. So thankful for this channel
And I love giving you this education.
I do plan on connecting with you Barbie in the future ,first I want to keep going on the educational videos. It’s so true what you say about us lady’s growing up not knowing anything about this issue. You are amazing! I’m so glad I found you, as I would have probably suffered in silence.Thank you for giving so much,it’s wonderful! 💐🌼🌸🌺🇬🇧🇨🇦M
This is precisely the reason I educate you directly. It makes me so happy to know that this education is giving you the tools you need and deserve to manage your menopause your way. I'll be ready t help you whenever you need me.
I love your props because they make it so easy to understand. Thanks for all that you do!
Oh you're so welcome. I love making the props and finding the demo products to show you.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been taking Premarin in the pill form since 2010 and did not know it was made from horse urine. Wow! You explain with such detail and easy to understand terminology. I am subscribing to your channel to learn more. 🤗🌴☀️🌺💐
I can assure you that if you watch my videos in order, starting with the very first one, you'll understand absolutely everything. The whole series is designed as building blocks. If you jump around ... well, good luck. But if you watch them in order, you'll say, "Holy cow! I did't know what I didn't know!"
I am so so grateful for finding you- and for the nuanced elaborated work you put in these videos
The information is second to none!
Thank you
Well, thank you so much for appreciating my efforts to give you the menopause education you deserve. I really love doing this!
Great info and as always, you present it in such a clear and thorough and fun way! Thank you thank you!
You are so very welcome, and it makes me so happy to know that this is working for you.
A+++. Thanks for a clear, concise presentation.
You are so welcome. You'll find that if you watch al my videos in order, starting with the very first one, that you understand everything and love learning this material that you deserve to know. And I respond to these comments daily here on RUclips if you needs me.
It’s all good stuff thank thank I visit my gynecology & ordered blood test I did it I have apt next week she told me if I’m ok with it she has no problem.
If you need me to help you, just schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
You are the first one to finally tell me what Cenestin was made from !!! Not even the pharmacists could tell me. I took 0.9mg tablet once a day & had no problems & felt good. Now am taking Estradiol 0.5mg, usually twice a day for some relief. I do not have a uterus. I was told Cenestin is no longer produced. If Cenestin is still made, or a substitute, please let me know. Thank you sooooo much for your informative videos. So much appreciated.
Cenestin in now only available as a generic. Just tell your doctor that you want the generic form of what used to be Cenestin. The way it works with many drugs is that after about 7 years, the generic becomes available. And sometimes, the original brand disappears.
I'm so glad this helped you. Keep watching! You'll discover dozens of pieces of information like this that help you, no matter how you want to manage your menopause.
Thank you for your response. I can't believe I have actually found someone to help me. Very wonderful feeling. I have asked Drs. & different pharmacists if there is a Cenestin generic & each time the answer has been no. Do you know the name of the generic ? Are there other estrogens made from plants ? Again, thank you so much.
This is fantastic information! I have been using Vagafem for years and I love it because it is so easy to use. I first used cream because it hurt to walk but I had no idea at that time the horrible things having a dry vaginitia could produce. Thanks so much for sharing this info and the props you have really are great! Thanks
Oh, thank you, Sue. And I'm so glad you're happy with your Vagifem. I love it when a woman finds nirvana with regard to anything pertaining to menopause.
Amazingly helpful information! Thank you, thank you!
You are so welcome! It's my pleasure.
Absolutely fabulous video! I am beginning ERT soon and this video gave me the knowledge and insight I needed to make a sound decision. Bless you!
Keep watching these videos in order, my dear. You will know and understand absolutely everything you deserve to know.
You are a blessing 😘 I have to sit down and start from video 1 to really learn everything.ty 👑💄
Thank you very much doctor, you are so thoughtful. 🇦🇺
You are so very welcome, my dear.
I've watched this 2x. Thank you so much! 💓
You're such a good student!
Wow, I've actually tried 3 of these. I started with the patch right after surgery, then I chose the femme ring at my month post op visit. I ended up going back to the patches because even with insurance, the price of the femme ring was ridiculous since there is no generic. After having horrible symptoms again, we tested some labs and I had zero estrogen and no testosterone either. So, now we're trying Estratest HS, every other day. Otherwise, the cystic acne is a bad side effect. I'm waiting patiently for the femme ring to get a generic because I really did like it.
Isn't it a pain to have to deal with limitations like insurance approval and generic availability. That's one reason I think it's so great that there are so many options. The Femring sure does make things easy.
Is your Estratest generic? Solvay stopped making the original Estratest in 2009.
Yes, the Femring sends estrogen straight through your vaginal skin into your blood stream, bypassing your liver. It has a lower risk of blood clots than estrogen pills.
So do patches give you acne ??
Dr. Barbie! On a roll binge watching your videos, with each one I feel more and more empowered. I had my uterus removed due to fibroids at 37, I am 52 now. In the throes of what I would consider heavy, consistent symptoms, 19 of the 22 you taught us, I took estradiol for about a year, stopped taking because I was told the melasma I was getting was caused by it. Doc put me on an SSRI to help with hot flashes- that destroyed my sex drive. Going to see the doctor this week to review my blood work. Questions are 1) does estrogen really cause melasma? 2) Are fibroids still a concern even though I don’t have my uterus?
Isabel,
PLEASE, have a consultation with me BEFORE you do any blood work and BEFORE you see your doctor. You will benefits so much and save yourself all sorts of frustration if you do.
Estrogen dose cause melasma. And your fibroids are irrelevant if you no longer have your uterus.
But there are soooooo many more things you need to know BEFORE you do anything at all with your doctor.
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.
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!
Menopause Taylor Excellent. I have already done labs, the appointment is for this week and is mostly to go over the results. I will schedule a consultation after I get the results as I’d like your opinion on the findings. Thank you for responding so quickly, will be in touch soon.
I'll be here whenever you need me.
I have been thinking how tired I am, and many other symptoms, and just thought, "This is my life now", and now I have you! You have taken all the guesswork and worry out of this Estrogen Replacement dilemma. Wow! Thank you a million times. Just ordered your book, and your chart, and watching your videos, and search for all the great options you have on your website!
This makes me so happy! To know that this education is going to make your life so much better just thrills me to pieces. If you watch my videos in order, beginning with the very first one, you'll understand absolutely everything, I promise.
Hi Dr, are there any type of blood-tests that can be run to monitor blood clots liver disease when taking the pill form? and the Femring Vaginal Ring has enough estrogen to avoid heart attack, Alzheimer's and Osteoporosis?
There are tests for your clotting cells and bleeding time. But there is no specific test pertaining to HRT or oral birth control.
There are 2 Femring dosages:
The 0.05 is NOT sufficient for preventing the 3 diseases.
The 0.1 is the LOWEST dosage that can possibly prevent the 3 diseases.
But you always, always have to tailor everything specifically to YOU if you want to avoid pitfalls.
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you!
I think I’m sad after watching this. I had a hysterectomy in ‘13 followed by an infection which sent me back to the hospital a few weeks later for a second surgery to remove the infection through drainage. In the process, they discovered I’d developed a blood clot, which was treated with drugs for maybe 8 weeks (as I remember it); then I was taken off , and I’ve had no issues since. My doctor said other women that had hysterectomies could also have gotten blood clots but wouldn’t know. This was rather a peculiar case for a blood clot (perhaps?), so I’m wondering if I’m truly ineligible for estrogen as a result. Love your explanation of everything, as always!
Jeanne,
I can help you with this in a consultation. Every situation is different. And in a consultation, I can tailor everything specifically to YOU. Please schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
@@MenopauseTaylor Hopefully I can swing that sometime in the future. I just can’t at present. I have no doubt it’d be very valuable.
@@jeanneritchie7863 I'll always be thrilled to meet you and help you, my dear Jeanne.
Thank you for the education. Love you .
You are so very welcome, my dear.
Loooved this video, thank God for women like you! Now I need to find out how you got the arms I’ve been dreaming of getting. For real
Ha! Many women comment on my arms. They are actually abnormally long. I mean ape-like. My fingertips come almost to my knees. I'm really anatomically incorrect. But, thank you, all the same, my dear.
Wow very informative..you are amazing. Thank you
It's a lot of information, isn't it! I'm glad you found it helpful.
You look beautiful in this video. But you hit the nail on the head for me with this one, I thought there was something wrong with me. So I learnt so much from this tutorial and you made me laugh emtynestrogen too funny x
Oh, thank you, Lorraine. You see, you're learning more and more. And all that knowledge is going to empower you to make great choices for yourself. And I'll be right here to help in any way I can.
Thanks so much for this info. I am using the minivelle patches and the info you gave concerning them was very interesting. Thanks!!
I'm glad you found it helpful. You see, it's always good to know the differences between what you're using and what else is available.
If you''re happy with your Minivelle, don't change a thing. I always say, "Don't dissect a rose!" If there's something about your Minivelle that bothers you (physically or otherwise), call your doctor to discuss your situation and consider other options as a team.
Great video as always! I am going to see my doctor for a Femring for sure. I have no Uterus and I firmly believe in Pharmaceutical products. I loved your demonstration on the prop for the ring, especially the men point of you. LOL
Isn't it great that you can watch a video and be able to target your preferences? I'm so glad this is helping you manage your menopause your way. I think you'll love the Femring.
Thank you! You are a Gem!
Well, so are you, my dear. Thank you.
Love the nuance education!
Wow thanks so much for your informative videos, I am working my way through them all! I have been on a transdermal gel and micronized progesterone for years (my doctor wants me to try to wean myself off as Im 65 but I don't want to) and I thought I a fair amount about it but I didn't! I have been using less than 1 pump all along, no wonder my osteoporosis has continued to get worse. I didn't want to use 2 pumps mistakenly thinking the less I use the safer for me! But listening to you, it obviously did not help my bones. I wish there was also a medication that was actually safe to use for osteoporosis as I do not want to use bisphosphonates. Thanks again for all this amazing education and your patience!
There 9s a whole host of medications other than the bisphosphonates for your bones. You should seriously consider scheduling a consultation with me to address your options.
Don't just keep losing bone without learning about what else is available!
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.
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 will give you a 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 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 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 (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 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!
Hi Dr. Barbie, Just wanted to say I have been on estrogen (patch) lowest mg.. and progesterone for 11 or 12 yrs!
I stopped in January bc I had an abnormal mammo, which turned out to be nothing, after a bx. I loved how I felt on the hormones! So I was wondering if I can go back on them. It's only been 4 months off. I am 64. I am in good health otherwise. Can you let me know? Thank you very much!
You should be able to resume your HRT. The short four-month hiatus should not impair your ability to do so.
Thank you so much. I had no idea about these necessary stuffs.Tgese are so important.
These are so important
It's important to know about ALL the options if you want to succeed in managing your menopause successfully. The problem for most women is that they develop and opinion about their preferences before betting a broad education on all the options. It should be the other way around.
Thank you Barbie xx I watch your videos daily, they are crucial to my education and I’m very grateful 🩷
You are so very welcome, my dear. I love making these videos for you.
Fantastic information, I’m learning so much.
I am so happy to hear this. If you watch all my videos in order, you will be absolutely shocked at hw easy it is to understand everything. I love knowing that you're getting this education that you deserve, my dear.
Thank you for the information !!
You are so very welcome, my dear Eileen.
I think this is the first time I've seen a comment from you, and if that's because you're new to my channel, welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. And you'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that you now do know.
Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know.
I respond to all comments here on RUclips daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!)
And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time.
Love this lady!!!❤️❤️
You are very kind, my dear. Thank you. I love giving you the menopause education you deserve.
Thank you for all your information & presentation❤😊
You are so welcome.
Thank you, Menopause Taylor, for all your wonderful tutorials. I'm learning so much and watching them all in order.
I love your sense of humor, especially when you do the high-pitched voice, as in "birth plans", etc. I'm guilty of having had a detailed birth plan during my first delivery. Boy, was I wrong! LOL!
I have a question, and I certainly don't wan to impose or overstep my bounds or anything, so please ignore if you wish.
I'm slowly going through your tutorials. I have also printed out your notes and am slowly going through those. In addition, I have an upcoming consultation with you in a few weeks - can't wait!
We live outside the U.S. and shipping books here, shipping anything actually these days, is a bit of a pain, never mind the fact that customs and duties are very high here. I am the type who prefers reading. Do you think I still need to order your book, or should the tutorials, notes, and consultation be sufficient? I wish that it was available as an e-book. I would be the first to get it!
Again, I apologize if this question is a bit presumptuous or whatever.
Thank you again for everything.
Please do not apologize for your question. It's valid and warranted.
For a consultation, I will send you a document that is n the order of 70 ages long. And I'll send it 72 hours before the consultation. If you read it, you'll have the gist of the whole education. The book expounds in it. The videos expound even more. If you watch all my videos in order, you will get a great education, but it will take years for me to publish the entire education, one video a week.
The book is not good as an e-book. It's the kind of book that you will use for reference every day. My staff is working on making international purchases easier.
@@MenopauseTaylor, thank you so much. Your reply is so helpful.
@@negin7693 I'm glad. And you are so welcome.
Hello dr barbie.In India only pills of ET available no patch no gel etc.so should we go with pills as I know pills increase risk of clot.very confuse .how can I make a decision going with pills or not.help please
Wow! I wish I'd seen this 1 year ago, or more. Thank You.
Well, we can make up for the lost time. If you get this education, you'll be able to make the rest of your life the best of your life. All you have to do is start at video 1 and watch them all in order.
This was so helpful. I was going on circles for 3 days trying to sort this out online.
Only thing im still not clear about is if the spray gell and lotion are extended release.
Your question does not make sense, my dear.
Success requires tailoring everything specifically to YOU. And you can have that by scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
Love your series. I use Estrace.
Estrace is good stuff.
Dr barbie...I'm 49 having severe depression always tired have no ambition for anything...suicidal thoughts everyday...feel like giving up ...pain in my ears even...I just feel dead inside everyday...I can't even get an appt for help...I feel like giving up too many aweful symptoms ...wish u lived in 🇨🇦
PLEASE, schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online, and I will tailor everything to YOU and assess your options so that you don't have to feel this way.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you dr barbie... I will figure out how to do that as I am not sure how that works. I am sorry for that kind of message but that is my reality..I don't even have an appetite anymore its so bad. Thx for your reply
@@rosek8393 I hope I have the opportunity to meet you and help you, my dear.
Very enlightening! Thanks again...so much.
Oh, I just realized I am now caught up! Yahoo.
Good for you! You're going to be amazed at how easy it is for you to put all the pieces together as you watch each video. It's all very logical.
Would my previous history with fibroids preclude me from being a candidate for using the Estring product? I also have a lot of breast cancer in my family history (My mother and both of her sisters, etc.). I have never even considered an estrogen replacement therapy...but it does sound tempting, I also have high blood platelets. Lovely! :-)
You can certainly use the Estring. In fact, a family history of breast cancer does not preclude you from using any form of estrogen at all. It's only if YOU YOURSELF had breast cancer that some doctors would withhold estrogen. But there are some that would be fine with giving it to you even then.
Please keep watching these videos (in order) and get my book. You need to know the facts. So many women have unwarranted fears and deprive themselves of options for completely unfounded reasons. There are so many misconceptions that most women don't know any of the facts.
There's a great book called "The Estrogen Window" by Mache Siebel, M.D. that you should read, also.
Thank you so much for the detailed reply and by the way I should be receiving your book any day now! I will also check out "The Estrogen Window" book that you recommend. I watched all of your videos in order and am caught up. You are a blessing to me, and I am sure I am not the only one. Just awesome!
I'd like to know the relationship between estrogen vaginal creams and candida infection. I've realized every time I've used It some white discharge appears later. Is there a way to avoid It or a alternate solution for vaginal estrogen?
Hi Dr. Taylor, Is it true that oral ERT is the best for your collagen production and skin because it's systemic? There is a RUclipsr that says the only skin that benefits from a patch is the skin it's sticking to. Just weighing my options! Thank you!
No, this is not true. This is someone who is marketing one thing over another.
I've been watching your newer videos and this one popped up. This older video seems to be refuted by recent videos unless I'm misunderstanding which is definitely possible! In this one you state that one can't take estrogen if they've had estrogen dependent cancer however the newer video about breast cancer research seems to suggest that this wouldn't be a problem as estrogen is not implicated in breast cancer. Can you clarify? Has your opinion changed since this video? That would be understandable after review of research. Just trying to figure this all out. Thanks so much!!
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.
Very good lesson....Thank you so much, y doing good job for us.xx
I will always do my best for you.
Ur amazing teacher I just love you 😘
Well, I love you too! And that's why I strive to give you the menopause education you deserve.
i love you.stay bless and protected
Good Day Dr Taylor,
I have binge watched so far for two days. My mind is blown with your fantastic knowledge and these wonderful videos. Thank you! for sharing and putting the time in to make these videos. You are truly appreciated.
I do have a question and/or statement......Are you familiar with Compounded Troches(Sublingual). I use that, but dont recall you mentioning Troches. From what I know, those dont go thru First Pass, and are BioIdent.......
This series would be a great dvd compulation that I could buy for later on when I cant or dont have access to RUclips. Just a thougth.
Thank you for ALL you do.💜
This entière education is available as a set of 2 DVDs AND as a set of 15 webinars that you can buy from my website (MenopauseTaylor.ME) at any time. They give you the whole education in about 12 hours. My book is available there as well.
As for compounded troches, yes, they do exist. But there is so much you need to know about compounded products and how they differ from pharmaceutical products in terms of regulation and reliability, that you should seriously consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME to ensure that you get the entire education on all that.
I just LOVE knowing that you are watching these videos in order and getting the education you deserve. I applaud you, my dear.
Thanks a million 🥰👍
I can’t even🤣😂😊 Real Life, Too Funny!! Thank you for explaining all of this to us.👍🏻
You are so welcome! I love doing this for you.
Hi Dr. Barbie. I've just discovered you through Dominique's channel and
have been binge-watching your videos. Thank you for the
great information so far! I am feeling smarter already! I have a couple
of questions after watching this video ...
1) My Dr. prescribed Estrace vaginal cream for the pain but my use has
been sporadic. I will start up again after being more informed on the
product now. Should I start over and use it every day for a week before
switching to twice/week or just start up again at 2x/week?
2) My important question - is the Estrace cream safe for my husband
during intercourse since the cream is still in the vaginal tract?
3) As with the Estrace cream, if I apply topical estrogen cream or gel
on any body parts such as the arms, is it safe for someone to come in
contact with it? For example, if they touch my arms?
Thank you in advance! Looking forward to watching the rest of the
series.
Just saw the Gynae today and I'm starting the gel today 🙌🙌 Had to find this channel to hear you talk about it 🤗😘 Thanks so much for all the info. I've told all my girlfriends about your videos which is Bible!!!
I love the confidence in your words, my dear. That's what this education is all about: Giving you the tools with which you can manage YOUR menopause YOUR way ... successfully.
I switched from bio identical cream and ( progesterone 100 mg and vag cream prn ) to estradiol 2mg about 7 weeks ago and continue progesterone. The estradiol has really helped and don’t need the vag cream anymore. I just had scant ‘shedding’ ‘old blood’ noted when I went to bathroom and have slight uterine cramping. Been post menopause x 4 years, not already pap last month , normal Mamo last month. Is it ‘normal’ for body to ‘adjust ‘ to oral estrogen by starting to bleed a little ? Not bright red, like old blood mixed in discharge... scant .
You can certainly spot a little with a new hormone regimen. But, the rule is to have all vaginal bleeding during post-menopause evaluated. It will give you peace of mind & it will help you catch any abnormalities early.
I'm 47 having ADHD and now start menopausing ...I feel so lost 😢my mental health is just going down ! I feel like I do not know where I'm! Don't sleep for months. The only help is sleeping pills .My gynecologist said I'm too young for HRT and start laughing, but I feel like I'm losing my mind !!!! My family physician gave me estradiol without progesterone, so the gynecologist said, " u can't take estrogen without progesterone," so he prescribed me one now. I have both at home, not knowing what to start from ....pure nightmare !

What if your allergic to Estrogen patch and the pill gives major migraines and because of what the patch did to me, I am scared to try any other form, & my hot flashes are debilitating! My face will look bloody red. And hives, can’t breathe. And I don’t know what to do. I get so hot it makes me sick and scared to workout. Any suggestions?

Hello Dr Taylor, Thank you for all that you do! I am educating myself so that I know what to ask for from the doctor. I am most interested in a progesterone only iud in combination with the femring (I do have a uterus). I am confused, though, about dosage. The internet is showing me femring doseage at either .05 or .1, and I will need 1.0 mg daily for disease prevention. Can you help me understand, please? Many thanks to you.
It all depends on your goals. If you want to use your HRT to prevent heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's, there are specific minimally-necessary dosages to accomplish that. If you take a dosage lower than that minimal dosage, say bye bye to that goal.
If you really want to to precisely what you need to get and how to get it, your best course of action is to schedule a consultation with me BEFORE seeing any professional. I will make sure you do not burn your bridges. All the videos in the world cannot tailor the information specifically to YOU. But that is precisely what I do in consultations. The Internet gives you marketing, not education.
I am a bit confused. I started my menopause at age 35 (now 43). I found out because of infertility issues. Before that I was on birth control. That means that I have never actually had any symptoms of menopause, and was told that I need HRT because of my premature menopause and especially the risk for osteoporoses. Now my gynecologist wanted me to switch from pills to patches. It says on the package of the patches that doses under 50 mikrograms do not help to prevent osteoporoses. My doctor prescribed Estradot 37,5 mikrograms per 24 hours and Provera 10 MG.
You have every right to be confused. Because of your premature menopause, you'll need more estrogen than most women to prevent osteoporosis. And you'll certainly need more estrogen to prevent osteoporosis than to prevent hot flashes. It would be unwise for you to reduce your dose of estrogen to one that does not prevent osteoporosis. Bring this up with your doctor. Request a higher dose of estrogen.
Understand that there is a lot of fear surrounding estrogen replacement ... by both patients and physicians (but for different reasons). Patients fear estrogen because of all the scare tactics, mis-reporting of research data, and misconceptions. Physicians fear estrogen be use they worry about getting sued by patients who have been primed to fear estrogen. It ends up as a vicious cycle of worry by everyone. People like you who NEED estrogen can have a hard time getting what you need because the general population is in freak-out mode.
Have a serious conversation with your physician. Sometimes, people (patients as well as physicians) lose sight of what's important. I'm really proud of you for paying attention to the dosages. Keep up your good work. I'm here to help you advocate for yourself.
Menopause Taylor Thank you😊. It feels good to have all your videoes available and you for support🌸. This is important stuff!
Hi Barbara! This videos are priceless! How do you get those beautiful toned arms? I get the Sotopelle implant, but I believe it does not include estrogen, and made me so itchy! So my doctor told me to use a wild yam gel, but I switched it to capsules. I’m up for my implant this coming week, I’ll make sure to ask my dr. to prescribe some sort of pharmaceutical grade estrogen! ❤
Pellets consist of bioidentical testosterone, with or without estrogen. If they contain both, there is a lot of testosterone and very little estrogen. They are promoted and inserted mostly by alternative providers. The hormones are compounded, which means they are not tested or regulated by the FDA.
The good thing about pellets is that they are long-term, lasting 4 - 6 months. That's good if you love them.
The bad thing about pellets is that they are long-term, lasting 4 - 6 months. That's bad if you hate them.
The testosterone is the component that most women hate. Testosterone is the male hormone. It causes acne, whiskers, male-pattern balding, weight gain, and aggression.
These pellets DO NOT prevent any of the diseases due to estrogen deficiency (heart attack, osteoporosis, or Alzheimer’s Disease).
@@MenopauseTaylor oh man! and it's not cheap. I will be asking my doctor about HRT.
Hi Dr. Taylor! Could you add subtitles to this video, please! Thanks for all you do! ❤
I'm sorry, my dear. I currently do not have the ability to do this.
