Barbie! Next time, please give a warning to have tissues close by. ☺💕 My heart rallied with you, then cried with you and then became strong with you. I am ever so grateful to be able to schedule a consultation with you whenever I want…and have, at least 4 times. I will do so, again, if I have a question or concern. Loving your continued education through Menopause University and loving you.
Dr. Taylor, your vulnerability was touching, and your undying dedication to your work is commendable! Without your education, I would have been one of the countless women who leave their menopause management in the hands of their insufficiently-trained providers, and I believe I would be in a very different place right now. I started HRT at the age of 65, nine years after my last period. When I asked my gynecologist about giving me hormones, he said, "the cow is already out of the barn". Armed with the knowledge that you imparted on me, I fought and prevailed, demanding that he put me on HRT, at the dosages required to prevent the diseases of menopause, which he reluctantly did. I cannot thank you enough, dear Doctor, for putting me, and so many other women, on a path to a longer, healthier and happier life! ❤❤❤
I too watched many women in my life suffer through Menopause (Mother, Aunts, Grandmother and Great Grandma). As a male with degrees in Molecular Medicine, I too decided to figure out the answers to the questions. That was 30 years ago and I am so glad I chose this path. As a male talking hormones with women (young and old), I am fulfilled beyond belief. Congratulations on your success and prosperity. The greatest reward will be the lives you changed and watching them pay it forward to others. Keeps the wind in my sails!!! Cheers!
I am a long time follower. You have definitely changed my life. You taught me how to take charge of my own health. Because of you, I got on HRT. Because of you, i got my first dexa scan at age 55 and found out I had osteoporosis but was able to work at it and was able to improve to osteopenia. I can't imagine waiting till I reach 65 for the first scan. You have taught me so much. You are an amazing person and I admire you and your passion. It's not easy to keep going so long for many people. I am fortunate to find you and receive your valuable education. I will continue to attend your menopauae university every week.
Dr. Barbie Taylor thank you so much for your commitment and sacrifice in bringing this education to me. Thanks to your education and personal consultations I feel you saved me from a life of depression and poor health. I truly am so blessed to have you as my menopause teacher.
Bravo! You have absolutely started a menopause revolution! It’s thanks to you, via Dominique, that I sought out a menopause specialist and talk about it with other women. I was under the mindset that menopause was something you “go through” and “come out of”. Nope! It’s something you ENTER and stay in for the rest of your life! Thank you, thank you for educating us!❤
Your menopause education has changed my life! I want to say thank you. I was able to start the appropriate HRT with the help of my OB GYN surgeon, but I would not have chosen what was right FOR ME without your videos. Those two words, FOR ME.....life changing.
Trailblazer, lifesaver, hero. You are so loved. We can never thank you enough. Thanks for the background. I’ve always wondered. Thank you for your perseverance, strong, brilliant sister! 🙏🏻💪🏻👸🏻 oh, and yay, Dominique!👸🏼♥️ #GoGod
I'm so grateful to you Dr. Taylor. My husband found your channel some years ago and told me about it. I've been a student of yours since then. He too is a passionate educator and LOVES his work. I appreciate your transparency, strong mindedness, perseverance, brilliant mind and following through on educating us all about menopause despite obstacles. I myself have had my share of negatives in regard to health and personal issues. Your strength is admirable in how you can turn the ugly in life into something beautiful and still live your best life. Thank you a million times for sharing your knowledge, passion and personal story. It makes you very relatable not just as woman, but as a human being as well. I hope in the future you will tell us more about your experience with Endo. I like to hear other women's stories on how they coped with it. It causes issues with the reproductive system but also has a huge immune response. Not to mention issues with infertility and knowing as a woman motherhood is not possible. But we are still valuable as women and can make AWESOME contributions to society like you are continuing to do. Sending love and gratitude from Texas. 😍❣🌺
Oh my Dr. Taylor, I was not expecting this video and the story of your life in this way. Thank you for turning the negatives into positives so that we women can stick together, learn from you and from each other and be educated and emboldened. Thank you for all you are doing.
I want to Thank You ❤ You truly saved me. Menopause hit hard just before Covid. I was given antidepressants to fix me. I thought I as losing my mind. I was depressed and super unhappy (unusual for my positive personality) I knew there had to me a better solution. Then I found your RU-vid!!! (from Angi of Hot and Flashy) I bought your book, I listen to your RU-vid videos giving Life changing education. I got a personal consultation and I was able to with wisdom and clarity find a Doctor who would give me HRT. You changed my life and saved my marriage and I can not thank you enough!!! Because of your sacrifice and commitment to do good I am whole. Thank you dear Barbie.
We need to talk to our daughters when they hit puberty. Give them the full story about hormones and how they affect our health. And keep talking to them as grow into adults. Be open about womens health issues especially with daughters. Thats how we can improve the situation for the next generation. Talk and be open. Barbie has taught me things my mother and grand mother never spoke about. We must speak and be open. Thank You so much for all of your brilliant work Barbie!
Thank you for telling your amazing story and most of all, thank you for rallying around us in our menopause years! You are a treasure and please know I’m keeping you in my prayers 🙏🥰🌸 I’m also 63 years old 💝
Today 25 june 2024 i watched a documentary on ARTE France called Menopause ,,, Several women talked about their experiences and how terrible their lives are including , the advice given by the almighty professional sector,,,,well I didn,t get to the end of the hour I decided to use my time getting the best information available.Wish more french could decide to have you as their professor. Merci Barbie Menopause ,, keep ringing the bell ,,help us all wake up to getting the best news ever ,, that we are in control , if we do the work. MERCI Mary Louise from France
Thank you for sharing your story. It's because of you I can deliver menopause education to my patients. May god bless you with good health for another 40 years.
This is so, so meaningful. Knowing that you are passing it on to others is the greatest compliment. My dream is for all women to get this education in their 20s.
OMG! I found you a while back, and I am so happy I found you again. You are God's answer to our prayers. I am not a doctor, but I am passionate about helping as many women as possible, including myself. Bless your heart and keep on going. We are listening.
@@cm1906 God uses my life every day to do good deeds. I don't see that as demeaning at all. I am thanking God for Dr. Taylor's ministry to all of us. I'm not looking for a fight. Wishing you all the best. ♥️🥰
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 RU-vid 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.
Thank youu Ms. Barbie for sharing not only your knowledge, but also your heart and life experiences. You have been such an inspiration to many of us. May the good lord continue to bless your life abundantly!
Oh Dr. Barbie I’m so sorry you had to go through all that but thanks for being strong and hanging in there - you’re helping so many. I can’t believe you got a law degree and masters of business administration all while being a doctor! Amazing. I’m almost 71 and after an episode of vaginal bleeding for a week which doc said was likely tiny blood vessels tearing (ultrasound showed very thin uterus so no biopsy) he suggested I get off the hormones. I knew better so am staying on them, thanks to you and a few others I’ve watched. I never had symptoms of menopause but am quite sure they are giving me some bone protection.
The true power of this education is to give you the whole truth and the whole story so that you can make decisions about your menopause management ... knowingly. I always want you to have confidence that you are doing what's right FOR YOU.
Thank you for being vulnerable and also sharing how Dominique helped ! So nice when we ladies build each other up. Thank you for always paying it forward!❤
It's my absolute pleasure. And I will provide you with this education until the day I die (and even after that, given the fact that I'm always at least two years ahead on creating these videos).
❤ x infinity + 1…. I am a long time subscriber and try to watch as many videos as I can… I do have your book which is helpful to re-read things I don’t understand. I watched this last from the TV where I cannot make comments.. so here I am on my cell phone saying.. Thank you so very much for your heartfelt video about your journey to educate as many women as possible about menopause.. You are and have always been my hero…and I owe a thankyou to Dominique ( also subscribe to her) for helping to deliver to the world someone as intelligent and strong and BRAVE as you.
You are so very kind. And It touches me deeply that you described me as "brave." I never thought of what I'm doing as requiring bravery. I think of it as simply telling the whole truth and the whole story. But, alas, I guess that's not very common these days.
I have said for years that menopause education is woefully neglected. When a girl hits puberty, she usually has her mother, maybe a sister, friends, and she probably has health class in school, so she knows what is going on. To this day every single box of tampons has that little leaflet that says "if this is your first time using a tampon..." and there are illustrations. When a woman is pregnant, same thing, mother, sister, friend support and also her doctor that she sees very frequently. There's all kinds of books about "What to Expect When You are Expecting." Then menopause happens, and nobody talks about it. Your mother may be gone, and women your age won't admit they are in menopause, and your doctor ignores you, very sympathetically of course. All that to say, I sincerely appreciate what you have done with this channel, and I deeply admire your attitude about negatives into positives. Thank you!
Brava!!!!!!! So glad you dedicated your life’s work to all of us women suffering the neglect in our menopause education! I believe I found out about you in 2017 while viewing Dominque Saches. How fascinating you were teaching us was as easy as watching Sesame Street (all the funny props)! It was delivered so easy to digest! So happy your negatives became our positives!
Dr. Taylor, I had the opportunity to have a consultation with you. I am grateful for what I learned from that and from your videos. Thank you for what you do for women. This education is so needed. Your story is so inspiring and touching. Thank you.
So neat to listen to your story, even tho I knew part from earlier videos (I'm sadly so far behind, but this popped up and so I had to go out of order - tisk, tisk, bad student!). You're a gem and I'm so happy I found you several years ago. You have empowered me to dive into what is right for ME! Before I thought I wasn't even a candidate for HRT because of a clotting disorder I have. Boy was I wrong! Two years using an estradiol patch and oral progesterone has been life changing. I'm plodding along back around episode 260ish. Thank you Dr. Taylor for educating me so I can encourage my sister, sister-in-law, and friends who are coming to the same season of life. Bless you and may you life a long life so you can continue to teach and empower women how to make the best of their life for the rest of their life.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your personal journey. You surely have turned your negatives into positives, Dr Barbie. You are one AMAZING woman. I feel so blessed to receive this absolute wealth of information and education from you!!! Life Changing 🌹Thank you (& Dominique) for starting this RU-vid channel. May God bless you with abundance and happiness all the rest of your life❣️♥️😊♥️♥️
Thanks for sharing your story. I have followed you and had a consult with you. You have made my life better and inspired me. Now I talk with others differently. I try to make menopause a natural subject. I’m glad you’re out there doing your passionate work.
Thank you for your education. I Was very afraid of HRT and terribly suffering at 52 years. Because of your videos I got the courage to give it a try and I feel so much better. Misagynists are so common. I appreciate yor commitment to this project and your strength.❤
I have learned so much from you through your videos and from the consultation I had with you almost 3 years ago. I was nearing the end of my window of opportunity and will be forever grateful that I learned both the benefits and the actual (not exaggerated) risks of HRT. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And thanks to Dominique for the spark that ignited the flame.
You have started the revolution! I’m so grateful to you and your teaching. You have changed my life. While other Drs. have more followers, you are the one all women should be following and listening to first. The other Drs aren’t giving the education like you are. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thank you so much. ❤❤❤
Thank you so, so much for appreciating y efforts to give you the menopause education you deserve. I'll do this until the day I die ... and love every minute of it.
You have certainly helped me. And thank God for Dominique! I have a ways to go. Taking some more tests ,but I am healthier than I have ever been & I can impart this knowledge to my 3 daughters. Something my mom could not impart to me I love you Barbie. Please don't quit what you are doing ❤❤❤
Don't worry, Deborah. I will do this until I die. And even after I die, the education will continue, because I'm always two to three years ahead in creating it.
Dr. Taylor, I wanted to hug you when I watched this video. Thank you for sharing your story and for your honesty. I learned about you from an article I read in Prevention magazine. have osteopenia and have suffered 4 stress fractures in 18 months from running. Your videos taught me that doing nothing was going to make my problem worse and I couldn't solve it with diet and exercise. I found a wonderful gynecologist and I'm getting the help I need. Thank you for this amazing education. You saved my life!
You are such a gift. I have such a love for you Barbie. I tell my doctor she needs to look you up as she was impressed with my own advocacy of my HRT treatment. My dearest girlfriends. Thank you so much for sharing. I means so much.
A big thank you Dr Barbie, I came across your channel when I searching for answers deciding if I should take operation to remove my very large fibroids. Your video was a game changer I started to binge watch your video to educate myself. I’m not scared as I was before because of the education you provide and the clarity and visual you shared. I can’t thank you enough for your determination to provide this information which is not talk enough! Sharing your story I appreciate you even more and so very grateful you proved to yourself and other you can turn a negative to an positive. You have been a great gift to me and I’m sure to many others. Thank you so much, you are very much ❤
This makes me so, so happy. I just love knowing that this education empowers you to know everything you need in order to make the best choices FOR YOU.
Thank you for all you do and continue to do I just wish you could educate the doctors So many women watch your channel Talk with you And still can not get the help they need
I'm making educational resources for all the different professionals to whom women turn for menopause management. None of those professionals has education on menopause.
Thank you so much for this very raw video! I had a consultation with you 2 years ago, and I am just so very Thankful that you started this business...which is much more than a business, it's a true passion...and you are saving millions of women! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you so much for giving me an education so I can make wise choices for myself, thank you for the cosultations, etc. I love sharing this information and your webstie with other women. We are having many conversations. Thank you for your sacrifices made for women!
Dr. Taylor, I love you!💞 You're an amazing woman, and Dr! I'm so very thankful and appreciative for all you have taught us! I have definitely learned so much from you and continue to learn, rather than simply believing old wives' tales and beliefs from other women. I made the right decision for me to be on HRT and am so happy! 😀🙌🏻 I am so sorry for all of the bad times that you've been through, though 💔🥺🙏🏻. Bless you and thanks again for all you do, and keep up your great work!😍👍🏻 🌷🩷🌹🩷🪷
Thank you for your work and your dedication. You have changed my life and through me you will have a great impact on my girls’ as well. You have definitely started something big.
Thank you Dr Barbie. I appreciate your honesty and your story from a very little girl with cross eyed and a surgeon in Japan changed your life. You are helping many women including me and I hope to learn more on taking care of myself through these last years of menopause.
Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us and the world, advocating for women's health! Menopause can be half our lives or more! I hope for the day when I can give my grand-babies a Menopause Barbie doll! Here's to your health! And thank you, Dominique!
Thank you for sharing your story and for your valuable education on this channel, it brought me to finding a local doctor who is part of the menopause society.
So many thanks to you- dear dr.Barbie-from 51yrs girl from Prague🇨🇿..it was your videos and your book that opened my eyes two years ago and with this knowledge I could start to manage my perimenopause my way..this was very emotional video and I am in my tears with you but happy at the same time ..God bless you❤😇
I love all your videos, but this one is my favorite! I found out about you from Dominique’s channel during Covid. I am so lucky to have access to two of the most amazing women. Your story is fascinating, and I cried along with you as you explained how your RU-vid channel came to be. Your viewers are so fortunate to have you. Thank you for all that you do!
Dear Professor, I have been a loooong time student of yours. I watched your videos in order, I printed the outline notes (and completed them with all my answers at the time) and of course I bought, read and studied your book about menopause. I only had to stop following your RU-vid channel when I was at the hospital for pulmonary embolism during covid. I remember very well video number sixteen when Mr. H showed himself. I found that very disturbing, however I wouldn't have been able to explain why back then. I am so sorry you had to face such an horrendous divorce and painful times. I will be forever grateful for your education here on RU-vid. I suggest your channel and book to everybody I know and I have since the beginning. Your honesty is a light in the dark! Grazie Dottoressa, ciao!!!
Grazie, Your message is so very thoughtful and touching. thank you greatly for being my steadfast student. I love being your professor. And I will create and deliver this education until the day I die.
I love this extraordinary lady. So smart so caring. Thank you for all of your videos, all the time that you put in this and your deep down hole hearted caring. 😊
Thank you for sharing your journey. And thanks to Dominique for introducing you to me. When I first saw you years ago, I started following you and started my quest to find Dr who would give HRT to. 60+ year old. - I am now 70+ and still having HRT. I credit my good health to HRT and will continue to listen to your knowledge that you share with women. God bless you!
Dr. I have viewed you for a few years now and you have truly helped me. Menopause is now a breeze for me. After seeing this today I feel I know you so much better. In short I think you are awesome and the world is a better place having you in it. Thank You!❤
Thanks Dr. Taylor for sharing your story. Your menopause videos have changed my life. Thanks for your dedication and passion, you are a pioneer for educating people on menopause!
I have learned so so much from your videos and I thank you for that. You have touched many women for the good. Your work is unselfish, generous, ethical, excellent in quality. No one else is doing this: Dedicating so many hours to prepare classes, graphs, tables, examples, even adding humor to each video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you for sharing your heart and mind with these videos. I still remember those first videos and how much fun you were having with our menopause journey. Best teacher I've ever had. LOVE YOU LOVE YOU!I I don't know where I would be in my menopause journey with out your videos. 🎉❤ Thank YOU!
Thank you, Dr. Barbie! I started watching you in 2018. I had no idea that menopause was more than hot flashes and night sweats. Thank you for your dedication and love for women going through this very confusing time in our lives ox
Dr. Taylor, you are GOD sent! THANK YOU for taking the time to share your knowledge with the world! I first saw you with Domonique Sachse at the time I was looking to learn about menopause 3-4 years ago. You also consulted me about taking HRT. You will be cherished FOREVER for your work. I am grateful to have found you 😊 Wishing you continued blessings and great health ❤
One reason women don't make it in higher positions and professionally in general is the huge number of husbands who get gealous of the success of their wives. So women have to choose between a marriage or work. Thank you for turning the negatives in your life into teaching us women how to understand our bodies better. Power to you.
Your story is so amazing! We need more doctors who would like to work to help people, instead of taking money for saying "there's nothing you can do with your menopause, you're just imagining it" or handing antidepressants. You are helping much more women (and their families) than you would be if you've stayed in the office. It's inspiring to see how much you've done, considering your health issues.
This is just so loving and wonderful: Your appreciation of my education and your dedication to your patients. This is how we change the world of menopause for the better forever.
Great to hear your personal story after all these years of watching. Thank you for being transparent. We trust you… so many influencers are not transparent or as passionate as you are. ❤🎉
Well, thank you so much for recognizing and appreciating my transparency. I think transparency is a good thing. However, I have learned that some people take advantage of it. I think people who have nothing to hide hide nothing.
You are a fearless leader. A courageous mentor! Thank you GREATLY for taking a chance on this journey and know that you have gained the world by doing what you do. Thank you! I appreciate YOU! ❤
My last glasses prescription made me see double, to the point that I can't use them. I can definitely understand what a problem that is. And I could fix it. If it's in your own eyes it's so much more difficult. Thank you for all your hard work. 💖
@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you. 😊 I think YT shadowbann€d my other comment. So I'll repost it here in the hope that you'll see it. I want to suggest some collab channels to get the word out there even more. Claudia Glows, The Honest Channel-Clare Johnston, and Rod J. Rohrich, M.D. Plastic Surgeon. I follow a bunch of cosmetic and medical RU-vid channels, and it's shocking to me how many of the people who should know better (doctors, nurses) don't. Both Claudia and Rod have had recent interviews with more or less misinformed people. Clare does all kinds of well aging interviews. 🙂
Barbie you are amazing and never ever let anyone say otherwise! you educated me! with working at home around pandemic i started watching you whilst working and OMG i just thought oh well i guess i wont get menopause! well until i found out all other symptoms. i want to thank you and i recommend you to every woman i know!! God bless you 😍
Dr. Barbie, you are truly a beautiful Soul ❤! God bless you for dedicating your life’s work to others. You are a true Hero to all of us who’s lives have been touched by your genuine care and compassion ❤!
I too was a cross eyed kid. Had my first surgery at 14 and a second at 37. I never did develop binocular/stereoptic vision. Love medicine but became a teacher instead. Your eyes look great. I usually notice this problem immediately. Now I have added glaucoma to the mix. Luckily I had an easy transition into menopause, but very little education about guarding my health as an older woman. I agree that this is a travesty for many women. Thank you.
@@MenopauseTaylor I may need to do it a third time. I had problems with both eyes. One turned in and down, one turned in and up. Now one turns out and down. I’m just glad that we live in a time when this can be corrected and we are not thought of having the evil eye of witchcraft lol
I have not "beaten" my arthritis. And I never will. If you saw my X-rays. you'd know that I'm a train wreck. I've just turned my negatives into positives with regard to my arthritis. And that's precisely what I'm teaching you to do with your menopause.
@@MenopauseTaylor Graves‘ disease decades ago sent me into a horrible early menopause. A wonderful gynecologist who thought out of the box helped me turn that negative into a positive. She was before her time. That thinking drew me to your RU-vid channel. I was in awe of you watching you do your yoga and workout with your arthritis. It actually brought tears to my eyes! I wanted to be you! I can’t seem to turn this arthritis into a positive. I’m told it’s just a part of aging just like menopause. My X-rays are horrific. I want my flexibility back. Thank you so much for your amazing information for woman! 💜💫
Wow! Thank you for being steadfast and strong! Please forgive me for watching this particular video “out of order”😂 Because of you, my sister, my daughter and my granddaughter (expected to arrive in October) will not go through what I went through for two years! I thank you daily for coming into my life when you did. Love to you always from Iowa, the crazy pink haired lady💕
Dr. Barbie, I almost set up my consult that I've been putting off! I was officially diagnosed with menopause yesterday. I JUST turned 45. I'm panicking--this wasn't supposed to happen until 50! I have Stage IV endo and the adhesions and ovarian cysts are debilitating--the compound pharmacist says since I have my ovaries, he can't treat me. Yet if I have a hysterectomy, I'm looking at a bowel resection. This is so isolating!
@@alisanazir1725 Thank you. I don’t have my mother here any longer for moral support (she went through this trouble too). It’s so expensive to get help-I’m hoping the women going before Congress in Washington about women’s health will be heard.
@@holliehilton3224 Sorry to hear about your mother. Hang in there! It really is possible to turn negatives into positives. I really do hope younger generations of women will have the education and access to care to deal with women’s health. I’m certainly glad women’s healthcare is getting the attention it’s needed since forever.
Hollie, You are not alone. And I can help you a lot. PLEASE go ahead and schedule that consultation. I want to meet you and help you, my dear. I promise you that you have options.
