HOW I GOT MY ENERGY BACK - Menopause | Thyroid | Gut Health 

I’ve had very similar circumstances. Did tons of research on gut health, menopause, brain fog, forgetfulness, aching joints and weight gain. I went on BHRT, went on a completely carnivore diet, gave up alcohol and sugar and do daily intermittent fasting. I’ve lost 25 pounds, hot flashes stopped, brain fog disappeared, sugar cravings gone, and I have NEVER felt better. I’m 58 and I feel like I’m 25. Thank God I didn’t give in or give up. Excellent health is possible.❤❤❤

That is sooo crazy we're experiencing the SAME symptoms! I mean EXACTLY the same! My Dr just ordered a billion tests for me. I started the keto diet a month ago because my blood sugar all of a sudden started to spike. I'm also post menopausal so thank you for the info about hormone replacement therapy. The hot flashes are insane! 🥵 I can't wait to see what your eating everyday!

Thank you for being you Lisa and having your channel. I’m 38 and about to go through a divorce. I have two pre teen kids and struggling with keeping my head up. You inspire me and watching your channel reminds me life goes on and that we can overcome every obstacle with optimism and keep going and improving no matter what.

Thank you Lisa for sharing your story! I too have experienced many of the same menopause symptoms. Brain fog, weight gain, fatigue and one of the most important, mild depression. I say most important because if you've never had depression, you may not even realize that you have it and that it is what's making you feel crappy, lazy and just an overall malaise feeling. I'm so glad more woman are speaking about this so we know we are not alone. I agree with everything you said about researching and experimenting to find what will work best for your own body and symptoms. Thanks again for this video! 💕

So good that you're talking about this Lisa. I've been using the Combi-Patch HRT patch for years. It was life changing. During menopause, I had terrible insomnia, brain fog, shortness of breath, vaginal dryness to the point of not wanting to be intimate with my husband, UTIs, zero libido and many more awful things. I watched Menopause Taylor and learned about replacing the estrogen that I had in my body until it disappeared at age 49. I should have started the patch years earlier. Definitely worth looking into. Many people are scared of HRT. I figure I'm just replacing what was rudely taken from me :)

I had gut issues 4 years ago and my doctor misdiagnosed me. In short I didn’t know what to do. I started to do research and a lot of it. Then I did keto, I did about 85% keto and mostly I ate clean organic food. Alas, thank God i got healed!

I'm 56 going through a lot of the same issues, so thank you for sharing. My biggest problem is my eating habits. Sugar craving is awful. I'm the type I need a broken down detailed how to eat healthy. If you do a video on what you do for food a day, I'd be so appreciative. God bless you and your family ❤

I'm 50 and have been keto for 4 years. It's amazing how great you feel when you kick the carb habit and run your body off the proper fuel (sugar vs fat). I am animal based but I know plant-based can be a great option for some. Best of luck on this journey, life really does feel good when you fuel your body correctly.

Omg!!! Whatever you are doing it's really showing through the quality of your skin. Wow! I have not seen you glow like this for a minute!!! Just absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰 So happy for you and I need this Plan too. I thank God that you are in my life!!! You inspire me and give me hope always💕💕💕💕💕💕

Energy!! The lack of it is destroying my life. Looking forward to your advice!!

Lisa, I wholeheartedly agree with you! If all us women are fully willing to share honestly what we go through at this time, we can truly help each other. I am also 55 now and navigating finally to try to get myself back. I, too, just started the patch two weeks ago. After weeks and weeks of researching, seeing my obgyn doctor, bloodwork , etc.... I get all women are different and have different experiences, but this menapause and post menapause life is seriously so under researched, in my opinion. We are just now finally taking the hold on refusing to live this miserably unnecessarily physically and mentally during this age group and up. We really don't want to feel like this, yet we know we don't feel right. It's like a secret, or taboo in the past and past generations, to speak of such feelings. Sad. I'm so glad you are also trying to research and doing something about it and being honest!!!! I've been following you for years now, and I'm so happy you made this video. Thank you! We are not alone. Postmenopausal symptoms are a real thing to reckon with, and we women at this age deserve to get ourselves (our groove) back! I was tired of feeling my body was betraying me when, in reality, it was just warning me something was wrong, and I needed to listen and do something about it. Don't settle for feeling this horrible. Healthy cheers to our navigation through this!❤

Nice to see you Lisa! I started HRT in January and had some adjustment issues, mostly cramps! Bad cramps. However, it now 12 weeks and it's finally settled down. I have been able to lose weight again! Energy wise, I was exhausted every day and I hated it, and what has solved it for me is taking K2 + D3 (5,000 x 2), and a B12 Pill every day. It I keep up with it I have the same energy as normal people! For years I've suffered with exhaustion and hope the combo of all this has finally helped. I finally know what it's like to have normal energy again! It was SO depressing not having energy. Glad you are finding your answers too!! xx

Lisa , a few videos back I told you my story of being on bio identical hormones . I went into full menopause at 43 and I had been thru hell and back until I started bio identicals . It changed my life and bounced back to my normal self in a week. Best thing I’ve ever done . Been on them since 2019 and I’m 49 now and have more energy than my 4 grown children lol they always say mum where do you get your energy from hahahaha . So happy you took this route you won’t regret it ❤️

Around 3 months ago you posted the video: What I Eat -- Post Menopause. Apparently eating this way led you to a laying on the couch with brain fog and other digestive distress. I also struggle with gut issues, allergies, and most of the other > 55 year old woman issues, so I appreciate advice in what works and does not work for others in similar situations.

Yes yes yes Amen ! So tired of women & men telling others they know the best diet for everyone ! We are all different and have to experiment with our own bodies & food choices .

Lisa, I tried keto for a year, and although at first, it worked, energy, focus, and weight loss; I started having issues with my kidneys and liver enzymes and also was diagnosed with high cholesterol. There are increasing metabolic demands on both organs due to the increased daily percentage of protein and fat.

You made the right decision on HRT! It’s like your thyroid condition, you take something for that. People who are diabetic take insulin. This is the best thing to do. You should be friends with y tubers, Menopause Barbie. She can also give you the best advice.

Can’t wait for the eating videos! I’m also vegan and have SIBO. I haven’t done too well with high fat in the past, but I’m willing to try again!

You are looking more beautiful than ever!!! WoW! Stunning!!!

Thanks Lisa for this video. I have been searching for quite a while for some answers to why I feel so awful. I have ALL the same symptoms as you have/had. I'm about ten years older than you and have been suffering for a while now. I live in a small town and most doctors in this area believe in pharmaceuticals only. I believe they do have a purpose in some cases; however, I am looking for a more natural and holistic cure. Thanks again for your insight and thoughtfulness.

Omg , I am going through the same thing . 52 years old . Had constipation, hot flashes, insulin issues , tired all the time. I went to dr to dr and more drs . If it’s not in their box then u don’t have it . U must be depressed they say. A functional dr tested me for SIBO and I was positive. I’m on treatment for it now. I was so sick 😢I was about to give up . I’m so happy that you did this video and shared . Thank u

Balance is key, both with nutrients and hormones as well as sleep.

You are glowing, Lisa! Thank you for this vlog!

I definitely would watch a video about vegan keto recipe ideas!!!

Lisa it’s so funny you how I watched this video as I sit here in agony because I ate candy, bread etc yesterday for Easter😣 I knew better because I have stuck to a keto way of eating for 3 years and it’s completely gave me relief from gut issues. I will say whenever you occasionally eat carbs you pay a price. I started keto to help with my back issues and get some weight off however more importantly it improved my overall health tremendously. Losing the 30 extra pounds was a bonus tho. It really shows how great you feel🎉👏

Yes! If you can tell us what you eat in a day. We would be so grateful. Thank you Lisa

Greetings Lisa! I'm so excited for you! I can't wait for the food video. Many people who are on keto seem to feel great. Love and blessings ♥️🙏

Oh my! This is so timely for me. Thank you for posting what you did and doing all of the research. I'll be 55 this year, vegan, and not a water drinker. I've been very active all my life and for the last year I've been a couch potato so much that people have noticed how unmotivated I've become. I attributed some of it at least to just getting older. You have given me hope. One thing is for certain in that I will never return to eating animal products. It's just who I am.

Hola, Lisa. Im happy for you. Can you do a what you eat in a day with your new lifestyle. ❤ God bless you!

Lisa, I really appreciated your video. I've been working really hard on my health, as you know. Great news! My cholesterol is down to 170! I almost jumped for joy. Then my A1c is down to 6.1!! I couldn't believe it!! The only thing I had to change was to eliminate iron from my supplements. I'm really confused though because I'm still having weight issues. So in a month I start ozempic. I hear you about the constipation, but it was because of the iron levels. P.S. because my husband is terminal, my depression was showing. I'm on 60 mgs of PAXIL. So my doctor piggy backed ABILIFY onto my antidepressant. 2.5 mgs. And....IT WORKED! My funk is gone. I can function at home again! I got so much accomplished today! It was fantastic 😍. I'm glad you're feeling better.

Love your top. Omg u are stunning and glowy. Beautiful skin

Due to the use of contraceptive pills my testosterone lowered to almost zero. I got natural testosterone hormone replacement and I felt like new! So full of energy, clear mind. I felt like in my 20's. I didn't continue because was too expensive. 💕💕💕💕💕💕

I’d love to know what You eat in a day! Excited to watch I think this diet makes sense for my body too.

Hi Lisa I was thinking about you and I was like Lisa hasn’t been putting out any videos I’m so happy your feeling better god bless you thank you for sharing your story❤️

I was vegetarian and I had constant diarrhea and felt horrible. I only eat asparagus one time a day and a few beats that I pickle in apple cider vinegar. I eat mostly grilled tuna some healthy chicken. I eat sometimes a big leafy salad. I’m happy full I don’t crave foods or sugar at all. Totally satisfied and I’m regular every day like clockwork.

We aren't supposed to eat processed carbs, at all. Great video ! 😊

Please make a video with meals you eat, following the keto vegan diet, and if you do any intermittent fasting

How do you keep your jawline contour so perfect?

Totally adore you 🥰. Thank you so very much for your openness & honesty. HRT gave me my period back after about a month & I had horrible cramps. I stopped them that day! Unfortunately, I’m just going to deal with it. I’ve tried different options & still had hot flashes. Now I’m not spending a penny on anything related to hormones & suffering in silence 🙄😕😘.

Dr berg just put out a video today called ""use glandular therapy not hormone therapy" really interesting made me think of u and your video

THANK YOU! PERFECT TIMING! :) MUAH! BLESS YOU AND GLAD YOU ARE FEELING BETTER!

After watching this I am grateful but still unsure what to do. I am 49, still getting periods and I’m really struggling with the amount of irritation I feel in the 3-4 days before my period. My hot flashes have been happening for 2 years. They are so uncomfortable and disrupting my daily life. My gyn said talk to my dr about the meds I’m on. My dr says my meds are appropriate. I’m on SSRI antidepressants and synthroid medication for hypothyroidism. Finding a new dr is easier said than done in the post pandemic world. Plus-I like my dr. I’m just going out of my mind with the hot flashes and mood swings. Is anyone else feeling like this? If so, do you have any suggestions? Love love. ❤

OMG yes. Do your research. I am currently dealing with HRT issues. As soon as I started it, I started bleeding and it hasn't stopped. Hopefully will be fixed soon. Thank you for video. I recommend Menopause Taylor and Hot and Flashy. Angie researches a lot and Barbara is just the best

Thanks Lisa!! Can you make a video on this makeup look? ✨💯🥰💕💋

Thank you Lisa,for sharing your journey with us on health👍🏻

What an interesting video! A woman's body is sooo complex during our change of life....I totally understand ur point of view and concerns. I eat for my hormone type now after so much diet confusion, but I just turned 50, have had hysterectomy and stage one BC so diet and energy are a struggle and soo important to understand YOUR body....exhausting some days. God speed, love and health to u allllll ❤

Thank you for all the great information! Love to hear what's been working for everyone. Keep sharing please.

Good luck!!!!!! if anyone can get it, you will❤

Omg! I think that I have sibo!!! Even before I saw your video that was what I was leaning toward. I had a surgery to get rid of my ileosincal valve because of a stricture and cancer. They say if that valve is gone you have more of a tendency to get bad bacteria in your small intestines. I had a ton of pain before going to the bathroom, labor type pains, burping alot. Diarrhea and constipation on and off. I am on a keto diet, eat up to 30 carbs daily. . I have an appt with my doc in 2 weeks. We shall see....I pray I can figure this out. Been doing a ton of research. Good luck to you!!

Yay! You changed your intro! It’s so good. So fresh! Way to go!!!

Vegan keto sounds way too restrictive and unsustainable for most people but I really hope it does work for you in the long run. Maybe working with a coach or nutrition consultant would help. I know there are some carnivore coaches, idk about a vegan keto one though. I would like to try an omnivore low carb approach but only want to do it with the guidance of a professional who has been doing this for many years, as I've heard terrible stories of keto starting to cause issues after several years.

Thanks Lisa love your videos, I'd love a full day eating video like some of your previous ones ❤

What are your thoughts on taking DHEA supplements for depleting hormones?

Thank you for sharing your journey with us! I really enjoy and value the advice of Dr. Sten Ekberg on RU-vid. His advice gave me my Aha! moment regarding intermittent fasting and the importance of stabilizing insulin. Good luck with your new eating lifestyle. I can’t wait to hear about your meals. BTW, you are stunning! I love your glowy, pink toned makeup. Gorgeous.

I have a very similar story. My gut health, however, is a constant battle for me. I’m wondering how is it that you were diagnosed with SIBO?

please do a video I feel like you now, like you did a month ago. thanks for info videos I appreciate it.

Hi Lisa 💜💜💜 Happy to see you. There are some great questions in the comments. Can you do a video answering the ??? This was a great video. Glad you’re feeling better.

Happy that you share your journey. In my experience, vegan ( high carb or keto) mess with your feminine hormones and it’s not always dense in nutrients. Most of people fell better witn animal food. Ancestral supplements can also be a gift from nature for those problems. Eggs, oysters, fish eggs, beef liver can do miracles. The vegan diet can be very hard on the body but it can work for some people, but most women need animal proteins. My humble opinion.

You're so pretty 😍 💗

Omg I have Hashimotos and I'm having the exact same symptoms, can you please share the type of thyroid medicine you described so I can ask my doctor? I don't mind paying out of pocket, thank you for this video. I was waiting for you to make a video like this ❤

This is happening to me now & it’s a nightmare . Not only do I lack energy I’m numb ….. not feelings of anything . Not happy or sad just nothing . I take Benadryl to sleep & sleep is all I have that brings me peace . I’m trying so hard but it’s so hard . Doctors don’t seem to help much .

I'm glad you are better thank you for sharing this information!

Thank you truly appreciate you for sharing . It so important for those us who seeking help on these topics. Its very informative I can relate so much. I appreciate your recommendations. I definitely can relate to certain things you said. I hope you’re feeling much better. Bty can you tell me where did you get your pretty blouse ?

Thank you for this video. I am in the same situation, I am exhusted all of the time. I am happy you found some relief and are starting to feel better. I will try some of the things you suggested. I want to feel better!🤞

Can you please make a play list? What you eat? What you stop eating? I'm a visual , so lt help to see on paper.

having more liquid thhhaan solids helps most things

Good for you. I live ketovore. Best thing I ever did. Barely think about food anymore & no gut issues unless I eat something I know doesn’t agree with me.

I love your videos, you are very inspiring.

Thank you for sharing Lisa. My daughter has been having the same gut symptoms with bloating and constipation. I am going to have her try keto. She is already taking a probiotic and eats really healthy. I am glad you're felling better!

I went on the patch ,0.05 estrogen and the mirena IUd but it gave me bad melasma after a few months even though I slather sunscreen. I am Greek and never had melasma from pregnancy. It helped for hot flashes but got off it because of melasma. :(. Very hard to get rid of melasma. :( BTW , the hair with the white top looks fab!!!!!!

Thank you! Can you provide more specific info on the hormone patches, please? Are they prescription? If so, what type of doctor prescribes them? Is testing required? What brand? Etc...Thank you!

Lisa you look amazing what are you putting in your water you mentioned electrolytes.

How did you get diagnosed with Sibo. You are looking amazing x

Aloha Lisa!...your video was an eye opener for me. I feel the same symptoms as you. Can you share what kind of HRT dermal patch you are using? Thank you.

I take BHRT. It works great, but the moment I stop I get all these symptoms. I also have hashimoto. I avoid gluten as well. I have a problem with meat, but I got sick on a vegetarian diet: megaloblastic anemia. I take B complex and it makes a huge difference. I have an MTHFR mutation. I do low carb and keto as much as I can.

I am 55 still trying to get this thing right. My problem is that so many people recommend certain probiotics but are we sure that the ingredients are good for us. Also trying to figure out the bioidentical hormone pellets that I’m on. It’s a long journey

what lipstick/lip liner are you using?

Also I drink electrolyte water as well allll day..for a yr now & will continue its a tremendous help.

Oh, I just remembered, not sure if you follow Cara Brotman (raw vegan pioneer in her 50s now), but I believe she was fat adapted for years and now has gotten into working out a lot so she had to change her diet and still eats vegan, but eats a lot more now and eats some cooked food. I don't know if she is still fat adapted but she used to not eat that much. She's done some videos with her partner about menopause too. They also use a lot of wild herbs in their diet and supplements .

Hey there! Did you close your clothing store?

Dental x ray may show a silent infection in gum or jaw. Exhausting for body to be fighting infection for years.

Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for sharing everything you’re going through - I learn so much! One quick question…are you still taking the DIM supplement? I’ve been taking it for probably a year now, but I’m not sure if I’m feeling the benefits. Thanks in advance!

Lisa I am very curious what kind of Doctor helped you with all this? An MD. Or GYN or DO. I have such issues with my primary physician. Thank you!

Hi Lisa, how did you get your doctor to agree to a full blood panel? My doctor doesn’t think it’s necessary, despite the fact that I have some symptoms. I don’t know what to do. But it sounds like this is a common theme where doctors just dismiss the issues. Very frustrating. I even offered to pay out of pocket, even though I have health insurance!

Looking absolutely beautiful! So happy your feeling better! Quick question, What are your chosen days for the twice a week patch? Do you put on the second patch at the same time as your first patch? Thank you!

Ebv is the cause of thyroid disease, unfortunately we don't usually find out we have reactive ebv before the thyroid is dead.

Hi Lisa so glad you are feeling better. Wonderful and most appreciated video you have shared. You are absolute correct about the gut microbiome is where you need to focus your attention on. I am in the process of doing as well because I want to be in the best HEALTH not shape as possible as I age. I am 62 years young and most definitely do not look my age but have experienced some issues which I know stem from a unhealthy gut. I am eliminating sugar which is very bad for your system. I am doing things slowly just as you stated you are doing. You are absolutely right by saying that you must take charge of your own health by doing your research and finding doctors that you can trust and rely on their medical expertise.

I wish. I am prone to blood clots so no hormones. I use the vegan phytoestrogen and Progesterone creams, they help quite a bit

How did you find out you have SIBO?

Lisa, I am truly happy for you the struggle is real! I am so happy that you were able to get your hormone panel. I have been on Bioidentical hormones for many years. Good to know that you are benefiting from them that you are putting your story out there by doing this you are helping women knew that they don’t have to suffer in silence. ❤

I hope this works for you.

Lisa i have all the same symptoms as you started HRT 2 weeks ago. I have had SIBO for 10 years i have a bad case. I was wondering if you have methane sibo, they renamed it IMO intestinal methanogen overgrowth. Thats what i have and it causes constipation. I am going to start keto. FYI SIBO SOS is a great place to get info.

A diet rich in carbs from grains and legumes are terrible for me. That’s the reason a vegetarian diet never worked for me. How can I be vegetarian and not eat beans, soy, oats, quinoa(the worst for me), peanuts, nuts? I could only eat leafy greens and fruits. For an underweight girl like myself it’s impossible. Keep searching Lisa, best way to find health.

I never heard of vegan keto.

all the same symptoms going on 18 months plus dizzy somedays cant stand up its all hormones I try estradiol cream

Lisa, did you experience heart palpitations through your peri menopausal or menopause experience?

How was your SIBO diagnosed?

Have hashi and menopausal, cant go on HRT, researching is overwhelming. Im experiencing a lot of the same symptoms, my sleep is my concern. Haven’t slept through the night in years. Working on my “diet” by trying to eliminate gluten..so hard! does the Calm magnesium help you with sleep

Why type of doctor do you go to? A gynecologist?
