Menopause Q&A with Dr. Barbie Taylor (Menopause Taylor)! 

I just found this video and I know my comments are late, but here I go. I am 66 years old, and started going through menopause at 50. Not ONE of my doctors spoke about this. So, I have been diagnosed as depressive, and an insomniac. I take a medication for depression, and one for ADHD. I also take THREE medications for insomnia. It’s too late for me to access these other options, but don’t be me. Do your own research, go well equipped with information when you see your doctor, DEMAND a conversation about this. Tell your friends, tell your daughters, it will make your life so much better.

I feel it's ironic that as young woman we are told about our period and reproduction. It's even taught in school. However, when it comes to another stage of life, the menopausal stage, nothing. My mother never even mentioned it. You see your doctor and he or she tells you it's normal and it's just part of getting older as a woman and maybe offer hormone therapy or tough it out. If you wait too long your OBYGN (or mine) doesn't recommend hormone therapy. And to your point, no bone density until it may be too late. That's just nuts. Medicine is all about $$$$ not about us. You have to be proactive to the point of being a nuisance. I never knew the health benefits of estrogen. So informative. Thank you so much. I'm definitely going to be watching Dr. Barbie Taylor!

I’m a male in my 30s (who loves Angie) and don’t know why I’m watching this, but it’s so fascinating!

I pride myself on being a well educated, well informed woman but apparently I have a way to go. Ive just begun on HRT at 51 as I decided after a 5 minute consult with my GP to treat the cause and not the symptoms. I had absolutely no idea about the bone density, heart health, dementia tie ins. So glad I chose the HRT route but feel i need to learn so much more so I can make the right choices going forward from here. Im off to check out Menopause Taylor! Thanks Angie!

OMG Angie!!! I can never EVER thank you enough for getting me educated and also introducing me to this amazing doctor and her channel! I have been in menopause for 15 years and NONE of my doctors have really given me tools to help me. This is such an important education. Bless your precious heart for sending this out today. I am in awe.

All I have to say is WOW! I learned SO much from this video. No physician has EVER told me that Estrogen protects me from disease. I also said No to HRT because I was afraid of getting breast cancer. My gynecologist left it up to me to decide but now looking back, I made a very uninformed decision. I didn't know what I didn't know! Thank you Angie for having her on your channel. I feel so empowered.

Home Run Angie....I've known about Menopause Taylor and listened to you but you managed to put it all together in a nice lil package. Thank you again for your dedication to your audience. xoxo

Oh my gosh, I had a total hyst in my mid 30's, I am 64 now...I was on HRT for most of that time until the last 5 yrs, my doc said I didn't need anymore, so I just said oh, ok....this is eye opening!!!!

I’m 27 and watching this video. It’s never too early to learn about this information. Thank you for a great video!

This was my favorite video you have ever done, and I have watched every video you have done for years...probably since you first began here on you tube. I guess I am one of the lucky people because I went to work for a GYN when I was 22 years old and worked there for 18 years. He taught me so much and he was a huge advocate of HRT for many of the reasons that Dr Barbie talked about. So I knew the very minute I was experiencing menopause symptoms. I was 42 when my lab test proved it was time for HRT. I am 59 and I still take them. I went off for a year or so and just could not take all the symptoms I was going through. My GYN I go to is fine with me taking them and we did have a discussion on how long I could take them and I remember when she told me as long as I wanted to. But, there were several things talked about here I didn’t know, so I really enjoyed this topic and I am glad that I have been on HRT. Thanks so much for putting this out there because I think Dr Barbie will be getting a lot of new subscribers. Have a great week, xoxo

I learned more true information today, than the 7 years since my hysterectomy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I had a complete hysterectomy with my ovaries removed also at the age of 36, they didn't put me on HRT because my Mom had breast cancer. I've had issues after issue.Twenty years later my last surgery was from developing bone loss and have a spinal fusion as within the past 6 I could hardly move around, bent over. Now I have metal starting from the back of my neck down to my rear. Just writing to save even one person to not go through what I've gone through. My doc and I will be talking about putting me on HRT, even if it is the lowest dose. I wouldn't of known any of this if I hadn't watched this.Thanks Angie as always, life changing. xoxo

Dr. Taylor really explains everything completely in a way that is understandable to most people I think.

I honestly learned more about menopause in 41 minutes of watching this video than I ever knew before. Thank you SO much! I am now extra motivated to follow Dr. Taylor and watch her channel to educate myself further. Thank you both!

I started menopause at 48-49. At first I tried the estrogen patch & Progesterone pill, and it was okay. The best thing for me has been a compounded bioidentical cream with estrogen & testosterone. I have felt so much better on this combination cream. The added testosterone helps so much with energy & joint pain and it has made an incredible difference for me. I have the energy & motivation to exercise that I know I would not have without this treatment. I hope this helps many women. Thank you so much for this video.

This is one of the most important videos for women's health on the internet.

Was anyone else like me when they were peri menopausal? I took 5 pregnancy tests because i wasnt mentally prepared to accept that my menopause was starting , i didnt feel old enough. I've never had any children and it was a pivotal moment when my body told me you've missed your chance. Almost felt like mourning for the children i never had.

Angie, This interview was phenomenal! What a wonderful collaboration. Thanks for making this possible- it was so informative ❤

Thanks so much for having Dr. Taylor! I have watched many of her videos but never had so many of my questions and concerns addressed in one video. I really appreciate this.

I watch Menopause Taylor’s channel and have gotten a ton of information from her. Thank you Angie for having her present this information in a different format. Great video.

Yay! Glad you two teamed up! It’s shocking how much life saving menopause info the average woman does not know!

Thank you for answering all the questions I never dared ask! Every single woman should see this amazing interview!

That was SO awesome! Thank you Dr. Taylor and Angie. I already bought her book and am off to start on her videos. Great job ladies!

This was amazing! Thanks so much for having Taylor on your channel.

Wow! Thank you for bringing Dr. Taylor on your show! I heard so much I had never heard before. Thanks again Angie!

I’ve been watching Dr. Barbie for over a year. I have learned so much from her videos. Thank you for having her on your channel to help other women.

Thank you, Angie, from the bottom of my heart, for introducing Dr. Taylor. You have no idea how helpful this and her other videos are for me. I love your channel, and you are my inspiration. Please keep up your amazing and generous work, and stay strong.

Thank you so much, Angie and Dr. Taylor! This was AMAZING!

Thank you Dr Taylor. Thank you Angie. There’s not enough information for us women about menopause and you guys covered so much in one video. 💖 💖

Dr Taylor changed my life. I’m 47, and over the past few years I felt like I was going crazy. Heavy, painful periods, insomnia, horrible anxiety - problems that I never experienced in my 30s. I finally recently insisted to my family doctor that (after laying out the evidence) I was suffering from estrogen deficiency. He sent me to a specialist and now I am on the Mirena IUD to protect my uterus and a low dose of estrogen gel. I would have never known that my symptoms were because of perimenopause if it weren’t for Dr Taylor and I am beginning to feel much better - it was a miracle to fall asleep in 10 minutes and stay asleep all night.

Thank you, Angie, for hosting Dr. Taylor! She is a fountain of information and gives it to you in a way you can understand! Great questions, too. I need to get her book.

This is so helpful, I can't even express how much this means to me. Thank you both so much. I've never heard or known 99% of this information, and I'm going through menopause right now. This is the first time I haven't felt alone. Thank you.

Everything I didn’t know, that I needed to know and now know!! Thanks from the bottom of my heart for this video ❤️

This was a wonderful idea! We can never be too informed about our bodies. Thank you ladies 💜

Thank you for doing this Q&A with Dr Barbie! Love Dr. Barbie. I've watched her videos and read her book but it's still nice to have this concise refresher, plus it brings the subject forward for so many women who need to be pointed to the right educational resource!

Thank you so very much for this information and introducing me to Dr.Taylor!

This was fantastic!!! My mom passed away almost 4 years ago, and before that I always thought when I get perimenopausal I’d be able to ask her questions (she was a nurse). Now I have you and the Dr!!! We all should talk about this A LOT more and to younger women. Thank you SO very much!!! ❤️💋

Thank you so much for introducing Dr. Taylor to us. I’m 55 and can relate to everything in this video!!💕

thank you so much for introducing me to this channel. I have watched many of her episodes so far. So great to "finally" get some great facts & advise about menopause. I have been looking & looking... Thanks again !!

Well done Angie!! So great for you to include us in this hook up with the Doctor. You are both excellent educators and superb examples of empowering others through objective information. Of course you both have wonderfully charasmatic presentations too which are compelling. Keep up the good work. Hello from London : - )

Thank you Angie for bring Dr. Taylor on your channel! This was fantastic! I will be subscribing to her channel.

This is so timely for me. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video! I really needed this. I am going through it for the last few years. I haven’t had a full nights sleep in years. Exhausted beyond belief. I’m going to see a doctor because of this video. You have done a great service to all your sisters on your channel ❤️

So thankful for this episode. It gives me a springboard from which I can do more research to manage my own menopause. I have renewed hope that there are options! Thanks Angie for lifting women up!

Thank you, Angie. You have added a lot of great information from your channel. But right now I am sitting at my kitchen table laughing and weeping. This was really life-changing information. Keep up the great work! Love your content as always. I am going to schedule a consultation today!

AWESOME video! Thanks, ladies!! Erin xo

Thanks so much for getting this info to us. Really helpful info that I never got from my US or European doctors. I didn’t know Dr Taylor, so thanks for the introduction - I have already signed up for a consultation.

OMG...I am SO SO glad you had this video! I feel as if a light has been clicked on for me (in the form of Dr. Taylor). I cannot thank you enough for having her on your channel and introducing me to her and her resources.

Access to this information is not only relevant but so necessary and important to aging women. Thank you Angie and Menopause Barbie! I'll be following!

WOW! Angie that was such an informative and empowering video! I am in the thick of peri menopause and I learned so much, especially that everyone woman's journey through menopause is different! But we women can be pro active and education is power. Thank you so much for this collaboration...I feel empowered.

Best video ever!!!! Thank you so much for this. It is a service to women and a great use of your platform and voice. Thanks to Dr Taylor as well. (PS. I will NEVER go of of HRT!!!)

Thank you so much ladies. I watch both of you and so excited that you did this video. When you don't have a lot of time to watch all the videos (and I will eventually) this videos wraps up a lot of questions as you have been told. The way things are today with going to the doctors is, if you can get in to see your doctor it is get in and get out. Only allowed two questions per visit. I get it but still very tough to swallow at times. People sharing their knowledge is usually only about asking for money and then I will give you the goods. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to go to specialist and so nice that you both take the time out of your busy days to help women. I am so appreciative of you both and will definitely forward this video on to all my lady friends and family. You have big hearts.

Thank you SO much for this!! I can't believe how much I've learned in just 40 minutes! This. Was. Awesome!

This was seriously so helpful. I can’t thank you enough.

I just love Dr Taylor! I recommend watching her videos in order - they are amazing. Angie, I applaud you for bringing her to your audience. There is so much misinformation out there - some of it cringe worthy - and I am so glad that you are bringing sound, scientific, unbiased information to your viewers/followers. Thank you!

Hi Angie, Thank you so much for bringing Dr Taylor on your channel, what a precious resource for those of us going through this challenging time! I've learned so much and am going straight to my Doctor to talk about this again.

Fantastic content! Can't wait to see more of Dr. Taylor's vids

So much great information here! So many answers to things I’ve been confused about. Thank you for this video

Had a consult with her just over a month ago. She’s AWESOME! Found her RU-vid through Dominique Sasche. I have severe osteoporosis and mother had breast cancer so I was one of the women that were paralyzed with the fear of going on hrt... she educated me and guided me to what I need to do and what doctor I need to see to follow through with treatment. I will be doing follow ups with her, also. Very reasonable consultation fee!!💖

This is by far my favorite video from you Angie; THANK you so much for doing this interview. So insightful...wow! Wish I would have had this 5 years ago. Hope it helps many!

Angie....Thank You so much! You and DR Taylor have been amazing! I’m so glad you ask such an informed doctor on your channel. She is a wealth of knowledge! I am so glad she touched on alcohol increasing a woman’s risk of breast cancer. I am finding many women do not know this!

This was awesome! Thank you Angie and Dr. Taylor! I started watching her videos and now I've gotten behind, so I'm going to catch up. 6 years post menopausal and am still having symptoms! Mainly sleep!

Sooo sooo helpful and empowering. I’m 44 and feel so behind the 8 ball on this subject. I’ve been experiencing some peri menopausal symptoms the last 6 months or so. I thought that being health conscious, working out, and eating healthy and clean was all I needed to do. This video opened my eyes to all the homework I should be doing. Thank you!

Angie, thank you so much for this video! I’ve learned so much! I immediately sent this to my daughter and two of my close friends. Thanks for keeping us informed!

Thank you so much for having Dr Taylor on your channel. This was so incredibly informative, and I’m well past menopause age, but I still learned tons of stuff. I think this was absolutely great and I’m going to forward it to many women I know who can benefit from watching this video. 😍👏

I follow both, and this video is a double dose of two favourite RU-vid ladies, yay! 🥳

Oh my gosh this was so good thank you Angie and thank you Dr. Taylor❤️❤️❤️

OMG!!!! Thank you so much Angie! Dr. Taylor is so informative. This is my first time hearing her and I have already learned so much.

Thank you, Angie! Excellent information and resource! I'm excited to learn more.

Thank you for this! It's exactly the type of information I need at at exactly the right time. I'm 49 and I discovered you a few months ago because I was looking to get an under eye concealer for someone who has mature skin issues. Now after watching this video, I'll check out the good doctor and her menopause channel! I wholeheartedly agree that it's all about being FULLY INFORMED! 💜

Im 23, so menopause really isn't on my radar at the moment, but I find it pretty shocking how little we know and talk about it! Of course I cannot understand what it's like until I go through it, but at least all women (and ideally all men too) should at have a basic understanding. This shouldn't be such a taboo subject, and I thank you, Angie and Dr. Taylor, for educating me a bit!

Thank you Angie, your analytical unbiased approach is much needed and appreciated. :)

Thank you for having this on your channel. Very interesting. I can’t wait to learn more. Frustrating to not have access to this information automatically.

Love love love Dr. Taylor and Hot & Flashy! What a combo. Thank you for helping those of us pre, during, and post menopause! This information is so crucial and how frustrating that no doctors in my life (gyn, family, etc) mentions ANYTHING about how important estrogen is. And my gyn is my age and a female. SO THANK YOU! I'm on this now and taking my own health in my own hands because (sadly) no dr will do it for me!

Thank you so much ladies !!!!! Absolutely love love love Dr Taylor. She is the best 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💖💖💖💖💖💖. Thank you 💕

Thank you. I've watched Dr Taylor's videos, gone thru "the troubles" and needed this refresh & revue because nothing needs to be set in stone. We all have the power to change our approach to living our best lives.

WONDERFUL! Thank you so much! I learnt more in this podcast than anywhere else on the changes in my body. I will be sure to buy Dr Taylors book and follow her podcast. THANK YOU!!!

I knew about her when she was "Menopause Barbie"! She is the best teacher on the subject I have found. Very knowledgeable.

Loved this! Love Dr Taylor, I follow her RU-vid channel she's a treasure!

Wow! Eye opening information and Thank you so much for it! Looking forward to checking her channel out.

This was fantastic! I have her book and I am going through her videos. I know she wants you to watch them in order but I haven’t always done that. I have been very fortunate to have Dr’s who have listened and understood what was going on with my body. I have been on HRT since I was in my 50’s. One of my complaints was that it hurt when I walked and that problem was solved very quickly. I believe that Dr Taylor is doing such a great service to everyone who watches her videos with information that can be hard to find so thank you so much for having her on so she. Outdoor answer some questions. Thanks 🙏

Hi Angie - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for having Dr. Taylor on - I LOVE HER!!! She is such an incredible resource for women and she is appreciated by SO many of us. I love how she provides the FACTS and straight information without any bias. As she says, she doesn't care how you manage your menopause, but she will assist you in managing it. I hope you will do follow-up videos with her as this is such a great service to women. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Menopause Taylor, she helped me make a decision on my path forward. My hot flashes and anxiety were making my life miserable but I was so afraid of taking hormones. She helped me work with my doctor to weigh out the benefits and risks and set up a plan to minimize the risks. THANKS Angie for this great video.

Dr. Barbie is the best. Thanks for having her on your channel today.

Great video. The more of Dr. Taylor's videos I watch; the more I appreciate how she is educating us on Menopause and HRT.

Angie thank you again ! What a great resource ! My doc forbade me from estrogen supplementation when I was in menopause and now at 63 , I have felt it's too late. And now this. I will go to her channel to learn more. All because of you. You are the best.

Thank you sooo much for bringing this topic to your channel! I'm 51 and had the worst perimenopause symptoms for 5 years. I looked everywhere for information and it was so few and far between. And I find that gals my age don't really want to talk about it. I think it's important for women to know that they are normal and there is help!

Angie you are the BOMB! Many thanks to you for bringing "Menopause Barbie" on. So informative.

This has genuinely brought tears to my eyes- thank you for this knowledge and understanding - I am 48 and the periods have become more difficult and heavy but I realize now that I am going through the beginning of a transition and I feel empowered and prepared to find an endocrinologist and to speak to my gynecologist from a place of knowledge - thank you

Thank you Angie! I learn so much from you and at 34 years old I feel like this video has really changed my life

Heaven sent and eye opening. I appreciate this so much, Thank You!!

Amazing!!! Thank you Angie! Can’t thank you enough!!!!! This has educated me to beyond my expectation, so empowering!!!! So many questions answered.. I’m heading directly to Dr Taylor site!

thank you so much for delving into this. you get into details that no one else does in one place.

Dr. Barbie Taylor is my favorite and I loved that you have her as a guest.

Best video ever. I was shocked when it ended as it whizzed by so quickly.

Angie this was a wonderful video. I saw Dr. Taylor speaking last Monday evening in Dublin Ireland and I have to say she is just amazing. Each time you hear her you learn something new. Thank you

Have been watching Menopause Taylor’s videos for awhile now and find everything extremely interesting. Thanks for this ‘consult’ Angie! It’s been very interesting.

This video has changed my life, no exaggeration. I needed to know about this. Thank you two so much! I bought Dr. Taylor's book, watched videos, went in to talk with my gynecologist who is brilliant, and she was very happy to help. But like many other said, I had information she didn't thanks to Dr. Taylor. Thank you Angie!

Love the video!! I watched it twice, great information. Love you both, thank you 🙏😘

This was SO helpful. Thanks for doing this Angie and introducing us to a fantastic resource! At 42 it's just around the bend for me, so I'm happy to have some knowledge going into it.

Great video! I already follow Barbie and I have her book. Sharing this with my older sister because she has questions. Thank you Angie and Barbie!!!
