I've discovered that whenever I sit and respond to these comments, I smile the entire time I'm doing it. That's because I can see what a difference it's making for all of you. I love knowing that I can help.
Menopause Barbie, you're an absolute gem! I feel like I found the ultimate Fairy Godmother to guide me through a tricky time in life. Your unique abilities to educate, engage, uplift and encourage are unlike anything I've ever encountered. You, dear lady, are an absolute gift and splendid human being. Thank you thank you thank you! MWAH! ♥
Dr Taylor, I am actually a young family medicine physician from Amarillo and watching your videos and bought your book as well. You help not just the patients but the doctors as well. I am particularly learning from you how to explain to my patients in easy way what's going on with them, etc. My colleague raised his eyebrows after seeing your book: "Don't you know this already?" I said: " I do but I don't know how to explain it to my patients, they don't teach it in residency!" Anyway, big thank you! Will be referring my patients to your channel.
You are so right! When I talk to my medical colleagues about how much education they got in medical school on menopause, they can't remember receiving even one hour. The only physicians who receive any real education on menopause are Ob/Gyn residents. And many of them don't learn more than the basics. Please spread the word to your colleagues. I know you don't have time to give patients the kind of education I can give them. That's why I do this. I give a two-day seminar that covers everything ... in a language patients can understand. You should go to my website and see all the resources I have. It's MenopauseTaylor.ME. I strive to provide every educational resource fore every woman, regardless of her learning style, time line, or budget. Thank you so much for finding me and for helping women to find me.
Just remember ladies: On your tombstone, there will be two dates. And everyone will read them. But all that really matters is that little dash between them.
My peri has been BRUTAL! It hit hard out of no where…Crippling anxiety and depression, sporadic periods,night sweats, itchy skin, insomnia…. I thought I was dying. I went from being a super active mom of 5, to a bitchy sloth who has no quality of life. This information is,literally a life saver. Thank 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.
Menopause can occur at ANY age. That is precisely why my dream is for all women to get this education in their 20s. Every woman who has a consultation with me says that she wishes she'd gotten this education sooner.@@Celeste-.-marie
Thank you all for offering such authentic, open, and honest comments. When we share our truths, we break barriers for all the other women who feel lost and alone. Keep speaking up, ladies.
44 and premenopausal. I'm bracing myself for this and feel so relieved to have found your channel. My mother is now 70 and still has hot flashes. I refuse to be ignorant to this. Thank you, thank you!
I am so glad you're here, my dear. I promise that, if you start with video 1 and watch them all in order, you will understand everything. And if you need my personal help with anything at all, don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time.
I feel so deceived that I didn't know all of this before. I always looked for someone who could educate me on this but never found anyone. So happy to be learning this. You are fantastic!
This is the education you deserve, my dear. Unfortunately, there has never before been an education on menopause. And, currently, I am the ONLY person on earth providing one. Everybody else is marketing one product or approach, ad giving you all sorts of misinformation all the while. I call my channel "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 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 cant thank you enough. I lost my mom when she was 62 and dont have her to ask questions. You have given me so much information. I am 56 and have not had any major issues up to this point. Now everything is hitting... bloating, weight gain, depression. Though I found you at this late stage, I can't wait to continue to educate myself.

I will definitely not only consider it, but jump at the chance. I want to reach as many women as possible! Every woman deserves a complete education about menopause. Every man and young adult, too!
i literally just burst out into tears from the sadness and anger I've been experiencing around this issue in my life. Out of the blue in Nov 2015 (at age 45) my periods just stopped. Completely stopped. I had no irregular periods, no change in blood flow, nothing really. I'm now 49 years old (still having had no period. definitely post menopause I'd say) and have two older sisters who are still having their periods. I'm single with no kids. I wasn't ready for this and the symptoms have been intense. I'm full of shame and sadness that doesn't seem to go away. I am praying this tutorial will help me feel like I have some empowerment around this. Doctors are so blase about it. As are most of my girlfriends. Thank you Dr. Taylor. Thank you so much!
Jilann, Please, please schedule a one-on-one consultation with me. I don't want you feeling this way. And I really want to help you. Every woman has specific personal issues that she has to incorporate into her menopause management. You deserve someone who will give you the attention you deserve. That someone is me. 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!
Well, if you watch all my videos in order, starting with the very first one, you'll see that you understand absolutely everything. I'll do whatever it takes to make you laugh and learn. You DESERVE to have this eduction, and it's my passion to give it to you. I'm really, really glad you're here.
I am a nurse at an integrated health care practice that deals with bio identical hormones. Equipping my patients with knowledge empowers them especially during crazy hormonal fluctuations. I love your props and demos on these videos and will be recommending them to my patients to watch. Thank you!
Then you're doing a lot of good for women. too. I'll be covering a lot about bioidentical hormones (of course). Thank you for contributing to the welfare of women.
This is great information, thank you so much!!! I am feeling sad that I am getting closer to the age and symptoms that are not very respected in today's society. At least what I am observing. It is harder to get a job, be taken seriously, the face changes, hormone changes and all other symptoms to add to all that can make a woman really miserable. I am glad you are spreading awareness in an honest and unbiased manner that people can learn more about what women go thru and perhaps show more understanding to women in this age group.
I am on a mission to do just that! I'm paving the way for a better future for women everywhere. It's high time that society embrace menopause for the enlightened, wonderful extended lifespan that it is. I hope that by the time menopause starts for you, there's a whole new attitude about it.
I’m now just learning I’m post menopausal for the last 7-8 years. I’ve only had 3 of the symptoms which I’m thankful for. I’m going through the rest of your videos to learn more. Thank you so much.
What a blessing you are, like having private time with your doctor for hours and hours with the best explanations! I'm 55-1/2 still in peri-menopause!! Ugh! lol Thank you for your teachings :)
I'm so glad I discovered your channel tonight. My mom just found out she's growing through menopause. She has been crying off and on all day today followed by headaches. This video helped me understand what she is going through.
You are such a good daughter! Oh I am so happy for both you and your mom. You have no idea how much better my videos will make things for both of you. You should get her my book. It has everything in it, and it will take a long time to release all my videos. Your mom need this information more quickly than that. Oh, and starting September, I'll be giving my seminar once every quarter. Make sure your mom comes to one.
OMG! Had. No. Freakin. idea.! Thank you. Am now postmenopausal at 59, started at 56 and looking for a doctor That I can relate to. Thanks for awakening my journey. Will keep watching.

Post here but during the 5-10 year of peri, my period was light but spot on predictable. It's almost like I could set a clock to it! "I really miss having my period" said no one EVER!!!
Loved this thank you I really look forward to your videos I'm perimenopausal ughhhh I'm trying so many different things to help with all the symptoms like I said I'm a nurse and wasn't taught about perimenpause I have told my fourteen yr old and of course my husband everything I'm going thru my husband is very supportive thank you again xoxo
I'm so glad you're involving your family with your menopause. It's important for them to know what you're going through and to support you. And, of course, you have me to support you, too.
I don’t know where to start. It was such a blessing to find your channel through Dominique Sache . I have been so confused for the last several years feeling hopeless. I started having whacky periods at age 37 with a high FSH diagnosed by my gynecologist . I’m 42 and thanks to you I know I’m Peri-menopausal. I still have my periods. Having the knowledge makes me feel empowered and hopeful. It is mind blowing to know that I will be dealing with menopause for the rest of my life, BUT I fear not anymore because you are guiding me along this journey. I can’t stress enough my gratitude for doing these tutorials to help empower us through this difficult and unpredictable stage of our lives. Bless your heart ❤️ looking forward to keep on learning. You’re such a joy to listen, plus you’re doing a terrific job in explaining everything.
Dr. Barbie! Soooo glad I've found you. This year at 41, around half way, I began with some weird sweat nights which I thought was a nightmare that I had, but it was not... then I start feeling dryer than before and so on, then 2 months before my 42 bday my period came twice that month with a crazy swing in moods. Those crazy mood changes haven't left. Glad to find you and learn that I am not crazy just in need of education to make a better decision. Sharing your channel already!
Carmen, Welcome to "Menopause University." If you start with video 1 and watch all my videos in order, you will understand everything. If you watch them randomly, you will sabotage your menopause education. And if you ever want a shortcut or want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
I had peri-monopause for about 10 years. I also had 2 huge fibroids. My puberty was nothing hardly noticeable expect for my terrible periods. I started when i was 10 and half or 11. I see 24 thumbs down. Whats wrong with people, get a life.! Normal people just keeping looking at videos until they find something they like! You are a blessing and it seems anyone with a gift that is huge to bless others gets persecuted. Going to tell my friends to watch you!
Great video, Barbara! I entered menopause suddenly, experiencing my first hot flash about eight hours post op after a partial emergency hysterectomy, and final oophorectomy at age 45. That was ten years ago, and I continue to struggle with annoying symptoms of frequent daily hot flashes, cold night sweats, difficulty sleeping, tearfulness, difficulty concentrating, etc. I am unable to take any form of HRT as I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer just a year after my surgery. Virtually all alternative treatments, and therapies that I have tried instead, have been futile. I look forward to learning something helpful in this series of lectures on menopause. Thanks for sharing your expertise, and experience, Sherrey in Southern Ontario❤
I'll have all sorts of suggestions for you. Don't worry. For every single symptom of menopause I'll give you a whole slew of options in every category.
Thanks, Barbara! I am going to make a more intense effort to mitigate some of this symptomatology now that you've inspired me again! Before I retired, I always used to tell my patients to put themselves first, and keep working at being well; duh! I likely should follow my own nursing advice since frustration, and failure has crept in, and temporarily kept me from giving this my best efforts lately! Have a fabulous evening, as I go order your book, Sherrey❤
Menopause Barbie Thanks, Barbara, and I just ordered your book, so I will be eager to receive it by the 19th! Onward & Upward; a decade is long enough of this foolishness! Have a great weekend, Sherrey❤
I cannot thank you enough for this. My doctor never explained any of this, slapped an estrogen patch on me and sent me on my way. I had a partial hysterectomy and just a few months ago had my second ovary removed. I think I'm post menopausal but cannot wait for your next video. I am sitting here crying because you have no idea how much this is helping us women!!!!!!! So thankful for you! I am 51 and my biggest issue is joint pain. Sometimes I feel so helpless.
Oh Colleen, You're making me cry. I'm so happy to be of help. Joint pain is very common. Please go see a rheumatologist to make sure you don't have anything more significant than joint pain of menopause. I have severe arthritis, and I know what you're going through. Please don't feel helpless. I'll be giving tutorials on joint pain and all the things you can do for it. I'l also be giving videos on exercises that are good for women our age.
Barbie you are a god send! Thank you so much for all this information. I have watched 10 of your tutorials to date and I am so grateful that finally all the "wacky stuff",as you call it, that I've been going through for a couple of years all now makes sense. Menopause is such a silent torture chamber when we don't know what is happening and why. Nobody talks about it so there were days when I thought I was going crazy! And although I wish that I had seen these videos years ago I am thrilled now to be learning from you and it's helping so much. Thank you again a and again. God bless you
Thank you so much, Cathy. I hate it that it's silent torture for women. That's exactly why I'm doing these videos. We're going to break the silence. Start speaking up. You're not going crazy. And we're going to make up for all those years that you didn't have the information you deserve.
You're right Barbie, I'm the angry post-menopausal woman. Woke up from surgery 2yrs ago and thrown into menopause with zero conversations with my ob/gyn about expectations or therapy. Thank you for doing this for us! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for teaching us this valuable information Barbie! I am 52 and pre menopausal with no symptoms and regular periods. I'm taking the proactive approach to prepare myself for what's to come. You're a great teacher! I'm also following along in your book. Love you!
Dear Barbie first I want to thank you for your amazing knowledge and charm!! ! Second I want to tell you that you are an amazing teacher and a gorgeous woman!! And third I want you to know that I am a perimenopause woman and I am making this time of my life a period of selfcomprenhension and selflove!! Love you !!! Thanks for crossing my pathway of life!!
You make me so happy! I wish all women had your attitude about menopause. The way I see it, menopause is the ONLY time in your entire life when you can take control and do things your way. And thank you for the kind compliments. I love making these videos for you. You deserve this education.
Oh, good! Keep watching. I can help you so much. I love it that you're getting this critical education. Go to my website (menopauseTaylor.ME) to see all sorts of resources that will really hep you more than you can possibly imagine.
I was in peri menopause at 47, and then post menopause by 50. IT was the worst time of my life because at the same time my symptoms were very confusing because I also had MS, and didn't know it yet! I didn't get diagnosed with MS until age 53. A lot of my MS symptoms got mixed up with my menopause symptoms. Unfortunately because of my age my Drs. just thought it was all menopause, and a little low blood sugar. So for the last 4 years its been a huge job finding a good MS specialist, and getting my MS under control, and in remission so I could get my life back. Im now 57, and hope to get my post menopause hormones under control, and that part of my life good again. Thank you for all the information, and awesome videos! Sandy
Oh Sandy, I'm sorry you had that confusion. Your story is not uncommon. Now that you have the two diagnoses separated, I hope you can address them individually. You can certainly get them both under control. Don't give up.
Thank you so much for your series. It is so informative. If a woman has had a total hysterectomy in her 40's and she no longer has periods it seems it is more difficult to determine what phase of menopause she is in. As I continue in the series this may become more clear to me. Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr Barbie for such a wealth of information. Now I know that I am post menopausal, I’m 47 years old and haven’t seen my periods well over two years now. I wish you were still in Cape Town so I can come see you, I’m in Johannesburg. I got excited to hear that you were filming from Cape Town. May you be truly blessed. 🥰🙏
I can still have a consultation with you I do them with women all over the world by video conferencing. All you have to do is schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME. It will be the best thing you could possibly do to get the tools for managing your menopause your way.
Hi, I am reading your book - love it! I am feeling a little overwhelmed. I know the info in the book and tutorials will help. Like you said it is a process
Absolutely! Just take in a little bit at a time. That's why I break the video tutorials into little chunks. You'll find that it's easiest if you watch the videos just before reading the book. You're great, Helen.
It can happen that way. My goal is to make it better from here on out. Please stay tuned, come to a seminar, or get the seminar on DVD from my website (MenopauseTaylor.ME). I'm determined to help you.
Omg, I’m crying right now because all this time I didn’t realize I was in perimenopause for the last five years, now I’m one year post menopause and I am a total WRECK, my marriage is destroyed and I can’t even function on a day to day basis, feeling dejected, hopeless, and betrayed by my body! Thank you so much, I will subscribe to your channel so I can watch and learn, hopefully it’s not too late for me
I am 47 just recently and been going through the change for 4 and a half years.Please are your books sold in Australia.You should be named Patron Saint of Menopause.Alot of women would pray to you.
Oh, how profound! I pray that I can help every woman! My book is available on Amazon.com. And soon, you'll be able to get my live seminar on DVD and in other on-demand formats. I think you would LOVE the seminar. If you can't come all the way from Australia, it can come to you. I am so honored to be able to help you. Please make sure your friends know that I want to help them, too.
I am currently 33 and watching your videos. I have endometriosis and want to learn as much as possible about my body and what's ahead for me. I am so grateful to have found your videos and your book. Thank you so much for your time and education ❤
PLEASE, please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME NOW, It will change the entire rest of your life. I love it when you get this education at a young age. But, you definitely need the tailoring that I can only do in a consultation.
Love your videos! Just subscribed from seeing you on Hot and Flashy with Angie. I have a question. I had Uterine Abalation 8 years ago. Did not have a period after that. Not sure if I am peri- or post-menopausal, since I may have still had my period if I hadn’t had the procedure. Having many many night sweats every night and tried many vitamins, minerals, herbs, and healthy foods. Nothing is changing and I am very tired. Looking forward to watching all your videos.
I am so pleased I have found your page. I am 47 years old and going through post menopause. These last few months have been very unbalanced for me, it sort of crept up without me knowing what was happening. Yes I went through hot flushes, night sweats, gained weight, dry skin etc, then it all settled down. Then out of the blue a month ago I was hit with extreme worry, and became very very anxious, then a week later I had major hot flushes, I then realised it was my post menopause, I contacted the doctor, and then organised me some supplements. I’m am working through my issues, but I’m very grateful to have found your page 🥰
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 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.
Absolutely love your videos! My question is how do I determine the stage I'm going through as I've had a hysterectomy 7 years ago at age 47? I do still my ovaries though....Thank you so much for your enlightment...😊🌺
You'll have to base your phase on your symptoms. You'll probably notice something (hot flashes, moodiness, insomnia, etc.) When you do, assume that you're peri-or post-menopausal (it doesn't matter which), and manage your symptoms any way you want, taking into consideration any other health issues you have.
The best part of being post... I can walk past that section of the store, and laugh, and laugh (ok maybe not laugh that hard) I thought I would miss it...but I don't
Thank you for your wonderful videos! I had a Hysteroscopy with ablation so i haven’t had a period since then. Is there any other way to determine where I am in menopause since I don’t get my period?
Your periods are only 1 of 22 signs & symptoms of menopause. So, instead of relying on your periods, you'll rely on the other 21 symptoms, which I enumerate in video 11. You don't have to "diagnose" menopause any more than you had to "diagnose" puberty. It's gonna happen. If you know what to expect (because you're a student of Menopause Taylor University), you'll have no trouble recognizing the signs when they appear. And I'll be here to help you. Watch my videos in order, starting with the very first one, and I can promise that you'll understand absolutely everything. Not only that; you'll be shocked to discover how much you didn't know. Menopause can be the greatest time in your life ... but only if you're prepared for it and educated about it. If not, it can be the most miserable time off your life.
Same here! I do remember the peri start though. Doc told me to hang onto my hat cause it could go for 10 years! Then I had an ablation because the super heavy periods were causing anemia... they thought (turned out to be leukemia). But I've been so confused since then with no periods. Thanks for the video.
Would it make sense then to take only progesterone when in peri-menopause (because estrogen is high} and then in post menopause take estrogen and progesterone since both are low at that stage?
Yes! Many women do it that way. Be aware of the signs and symptoms of progesterone excess, though, because most likely you're going to get to a point where the side effects of progesterone make things worse, not better. Be ready to add estrogen then. Progesterone causes mood swings, depression, fatigue, drowsiness, and possibly weight gain.
Great, thank you. I will ask my doctor to give me estrogen then. I don't need birth control but if it will help with this, sure :) Will my doctor know how much estrogen to give without the blood work?
I am going to share this with my daughters and daughter-in-laws! I know that they will appreciate this information when it comes time! Thank you for your compassion for women Barbie!
You are so wise! The earlier in life a woman learns this, the better off she'll be for the rest of her life. The sad fact is that most women are completely uninformed. They don't even know what's happening when menopause hits them right between the eyes in their 50s. That's exactly what I'm trying to change with my education on menopause. If you really want to do something special, come to one of my two-day menopause seminars with your daughters and friends. You'll be delighted with what you learn and experience. I won't disappoint you. You can register at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
And you are doing it so well. I only wish I would have known this during my peri-menopausal life. Not to be dramatic, but I thought I was dying or something was seriously wrong with me. Better late than never and I can help other women by spreading the word about your site.
You are not alone. I can't tell you the number of women who think they're dying or going crazy. Sad, every woman on earth will experience menopause, if she lives long enough ... and yet the majority have no idea what to expect. I'm working to change that.
+Menopause Taylor Thank you for what you're doing in bringing awareness to younger women. I am 52 and had my uterus removed 16 years ago. Was put on a series of antidepressants over the years and finally tapered off Jan. 2016. I have been living an absolute nightmare ever since. I just recently had a saliva hormone test done and it revealed radical hormone imbalances. I am on track for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. My experience is like other women who feel as though they are dying. It's horrible. And scary.
thank you.... i sobbed when you asked if i was post menopause and wasn't taught anything. so true... clueless and thought i was going crazy with my triggered moods, depression, and hair loss, etc...thank you. i will watch your videos.
Gia, Welcome to "Menopause University." If you start with video 1 and watch them all ignorer, you will definitely understand everything. And you will finally get the menopause education you deserve. And if you ever need my personal help with tailoring all the information specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
No one told me about perimenopause! My periods were erratic and instead of checking my hormones they ablated my uterus I feel robbed of choices! I am so glad to have found your video so this doesn’t happen to me in menopause
I'm so glad I found your channel. I have a feeling you're going to be a life saver in years to come. I've been peri-menopausal for awhile now. I think I'm going to be one of those women whose in peri-menopause for 10 or so years. You're definitely speaking to me.
I went into early menopause @42 . I can't believe it has taken me 10 years to find someone like you . You definitely knows the ends and out and nooks and crannies of menopause 😁🤣🤣😅. I am so glad that I found you ❤️. This is a great video and I am a new subbie 🤗
Sandra, 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 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.
@@MenopauseTaylor can you explain how you do this? I am 53, but still prone to blemishes and I am afraid that putting Vaseline on my skin would break me out.
Dr Taylor, i cant understand this state of peri menopause better than this . I have never understood it so well and cant thank you enough to explain us so well. Thank you so so much . 🙏
What a smart young woman you are! You have no idea how much of what I teach is pure health. I promise you these videos will make your entire life better. I applaud you.
You are so very welcome, my dear. It makes me so happy to know that, not only will this education help you manage your menopause, it will also save your life. Keep watching (in order) and you'll discover what I mean.
A year ago I was at the beach in Florida and woman started talking with me and she told me her story how she was peri-menopausal and got pregnant at 50! She said to me:be careful(I'm 46),you would think it's all over for you and you end up with the baby at 50! She was excited about it though,she considered it a blessing to have a little one again. So,yes,it's a real possibility))).Thank you,I learn a lot here,I don't have any symptoms yet,but it's nice to be prepared.
I'm so glad you're sharing this story. It happens more than you can imagine. But now you know, and you can make sure you only get pregnant if you want to.
I'm post menopausal... Yipeeeee!! :) I'll be vacationing for the next 2 weeks & spending some quality time with my eldest daughter. She doesn't know it yet, but we're going to get a BIG bowl of popcorn & marathon watch these videos. I'm bringing your book too, but she'll probably confiscate it. LOL That's OK, I'll buy another one for me... and one for my younger daughter... and one for my daughter-in-law. Spreading the love & the information! Have a great week! ~Susanne
You crack me up, Susanne. I love your comments. Have fun with the popcorn. Your daughter is going to love you for this (as well as for many other things). Just think about what a difference you're making in her life. If only all moms were like you!
I am soooo happy that I found you! Amazing information! I am 54 and in peri menopause because I just had my period. Starting to have hot flashes sporadically. Very confused as if I should start hormone therapy or not. I will keep watching for sure! Thank you so much, you are wonderful!!
Maria, If you watch these videos in order, I can assure you that you will understand absolutely everything. Given the fact that you're 54 and currently peri-menopausal, let me make a suggestion. These videos are weekly. The one that launched this week is video # 66. I have about 800 videos on the syllabus! (I'm a nerd.) This is to say that you won't get the information quickly enough for where you are in your menopausal journey. So here are the resources that will give you the whole education: Go to my website: MenopauseTaylor.ME. Depending on how you learn and your budget, choose from the following: (1) My live two-day seminar (2) The live seminar on DVD (3) My bookend slide chart Time is of the essence for you. I want you to know everything you need to know ... and you don't have 800 weeks of time to learn it. Feel free to make comments or ask questions any time. I'll always answer them. I'm here to help you manage your menopause your way.
You're heaven sent. My doctor dismissed my symptoms BECAUSE I'm 38. I've been so confused. I want to save my marriage and you are helping just that. Intimacy hasn't happened in so long. 😢. I have knowledge now. Thank you thank you thank you
You should seriously consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME, my dear. There is so much you need to know, and I will make sure you do.
Thank you so very much for these videos. You are a wealth of information.......I started peri symptoms at about age 40, however I did not become post until age 56. P.S. I was so happy to de done with my miserable periods! Thanks again.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I have learned soooo much to empower myself to make the right decisions for me. My gyno told me i was post menopausal because my FSH was high. I knew that was not correct thanks to your videos! I can’t wait until i get to the later videos but i am watching them in order. Thank you again!!
Thank you for all of this incredible information and the time you’ve taken to educate us. I am 52 and in perimenopause. Since the WHI study came out, I just assumed hormones are bad, menopause is something we just endure as women and that’s that’s. Neither my GP or gyne (both women) have ever mentioned the word menopause to me. We’ll look out, I’ve got an appointment, I’m going in armed with information and I want my HRT…knowledge is power and I thank you for that!
Please, please, have a consultation with me BEFORE seeing any physician. I will guide you in finding the right practitioner, arm you with all the information you need, help you weigh your benefits and risks, and school you in how to navigate the medical system in order to get what you want. There are more pitfalls than you can possibly imagine. And, if you go to your doctor before having a consultation, you could burn your bridges without even knowing it. You do not need any labs before having a consultation with me. All you need to do for scheduling is go to MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
@@MenopauseTaylor thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I greatly appreciate your offer! I live in Canada so what’s available to us and how we can access doctors/healthcare professionals is very different. I will see what information I can get from my GP and if I still need more guidance I will reach out to you for a private consultation. Again, I think you’re just wonderful and I can’t thank you enough.
Thank you so much for all your hard work Dr. Barbie. I so appreciate it. I am post menopause. I had a partial hyst in my 30s. I am not sure dates of peri meno. Because of this. But now at 57 I am having a problem with weight around stomach. I eat pretty healthy.
What you have is called "truncal obesity." It's what all women experience at menopause. Mother Nature decided it would be a good idea for us to have a slower metabolism and gain weight in our abdomens at menopause. I think Mother Nature is a man.
@@MenopauseTaylor mother nature a man your correct God is male the entire God head and all the host of angels but the fat stomach is from Satan a residual of our sin thank God for the blood of Jesus
Thank you so much for doing this. I use to get so angry and think why why why are doctors, women not talking about this. You saved me, and my marriage.
Pamela, The key is to watch these videos in order, beginning with the very first one. That number after each title tells you the order. If you do that, I assure that you will understand everything, absolutely everything. If you jump around out of order, you will get more confused. And I respond to these comments here on RU-vid daily. So, welcome!
I know. Mu dream is for ALL women to get this education long before they need it. Can you imagine how much better women's lives would be if they all learned about this in their 30s, and knew what to expect beforehand? I'll work on this for the rest of my life doing everything I can to make that happen.
Good evening Taylor I can't tell you how much I love your videos. I had my 14 year old watch some with me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to educate us. I can't imagine how devastated your patients were when you left your practice. You make me feel like everything is going to be alright when I watch you. Makeup or no makeup you are beautiful inside and out.
Thank you so much. Yes, everything is going to be alright, even wonderful. I'm going to make sure of it. I'll be there for you to hep you in any way I can.I love doing this for you. It's my opportunity to contribute to the health of women, which is the thing I love most in this world.
Oh, Shelly, I'm so happy to hear that. I love translating medical information into a language you understand. And I want you to laugh and learn at the same time. Keep watching. I'll teach you everything.
I discovered your videos through Hot and Flashy and I’m so thankful 😁 I’m only 34 so haven’t experienced any of these symptoms yet but it feels great being informed about what is coming!! Over the past year I’ve had symptoms that seemed to point to endometriosis but after a laparoscopy, the surgeon couldn’t find anything. He said it might be adenomyosis and that involves a hysterectomy. The whole process made me feel frustrated and powerless and the surgeon was just as unhelpful. I’ve learnt so much watching these videos and can’t wait to learn more! ❤️
Please, please schedule a consultation with me. I will explain endometriosis in such great understandable detail that you know everything you need to know. You definitely do not want to be uneducated on it. Just go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule. I do consultations with women your age a lot.
Thank you so much for this. I love giving you this education. If you watch all my videos in order, you will definitely understand everything. If you watch them randomly, you will completely sabotage your entire menopause education. And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
My perimenopause started by the age of 45 according to my doctor. By the time I was 48 I got my last period. My doctor is the type that doesn't believe in HRT and he told me that he stopped giving his patients HRT in 2008. He didn't even bother to run blood tests to check my hormone levels. He told me that there's nothing to do about menopause except to let it take it's course naturally without any treatments. At the time I had no idea of what options I had... My thoughts were, "Oh well my doctor knows best", and I let him decide for me. Right now I'm 49 and haven't had a period in 14 months. After finding your channel I'm realizing I need change my doctor.
You definitely need to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME so that I can give you all the facts and tailor them all to YOU. You need to make up for lost time.
You see! Education is everything. Just imagine if you'd gotten this education before you started peri-menopause. You would have known exactly what was going on. My dream is for all women to get this education in their 20s & 30s
You must realize by now that you are an angel sent from heaven. You hit the nail on the head, all of the information out there is so biased. I have been post menopausal for 7 long hot-flashy, emotional years. I have gone a la natural the whole time waiting for this to end. I am sad to learn from your video that this will never end but glad to know I will have true unbiased honest options now. Sitting on the edge of my seat for your next video. By the way, I have 3 sisters, we all have daughters, they will all get this link and hopefully will fell as lucky as I do discovering your channel. It's about time that the mothers are given the tools to educate their daughters on menopause so they won't have to go through so much uncertainty and stress.
I am thrilled that I can make such a difference for you and so many other women in your family. Please don't feel defeated. You're going to discover so many viable options that really work for you. I'm certain.
I am working through your videos from beginning to end and just love them. I appreciate you and your gentle kind nature! This video talked about how to identify when you've reached Peri and Post menopause. My problem is I has a Hysterectomy 5 years ago so I have no idea when my periods stopped or went bonkers. You will probably address that in a future video. Just left question 3 on the worksheet blank until later.
Your best course of action is to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. There are some things that you just can't get from any video. And this is one of them because it requires me to tailor everything specifically to YOU. that's precisely what I do in consultations.
Thank you so much for these tutorials! I am learning so much! I am 56 years old and had an endometrial ablation at 46 for fibroids which stopped my periods so I'm not sure when I became post menopausal. I have symptoms such as night sweats,brain fog etc. I am looking forward to learning more and helping myself!
I just want to say a big thank you for explaining this so clearly! I have been so confused as to where i was at. Your channel was recommended by hot and flashy, and I'm so glad i took her advice. I have also told friends and family about you. Love your style and education. So grateful. 😍
Welcome to "Menopause University"! I just love it that you're getting the education you deserve. And if you watch all my videos in order, starting with the very first one, I can assure you that you'll understand everything. I respond to comments here on RU-vid daily, and I answer them all (unless a RU-vid glitch prevents it, which does happen on occasion). So, I'm here to help you.
Well, the transition (PERI-menopause) ends, but then you enter POST-menopause. And POST-menopause never ends. The most basic thing you can learn from this series is that you will be a menopausal woman for the rest of your life. And it's the "Rest of your life" that matters. Menopause is NOT about hot flashes. It's about heart attacks. Hot flashes never killed anyone. Heart attacks kill 1 out of every 2 women. So, keep watching these videos in order, starting with video 1. Or come to my seminar, Or get my book. If you think of menopause ass merely a transition, you'll completely moss the boat.
Menopause Taylor - I am watching them in order now and I ordered the book last night, it should be here Sunday. I’m an ER RN and I am learning so much. I am really thankful you have done this. I had been researching it and was getting so much conflicting information due to the biased information out there. And my Dr never has the time to be as thorough as you. Again Thank You.
Well, doctors are not teachers. They haven't neither the time nor the inclination to teach patients. I educate full time, and I do it in a "language" that works for non-medical people. There's no reason you shouldn't understand everything that affects you. So, you can use the education you get from me to communicate better and work easily with your physician. I love doing this for you.
I've just discovered your videos and they are really informative! Due to a genetic disorder, I started peri menopause at age 27 (my formerly clockwork periods had started to disappear at random intervals) and I started getting intense and frequent hot flashes, bad mood swings/depression and insomnia by the time I hit 30. My periods went away completely at 31 and I've just gone for more blood work to see exactly where I'm at on the menopause scale. My symptoms have gone away for the most part (only 1 hot flash a day, if even that!), so I'm hoping it's over now haha.
Well, even if your symptoms disappear, don't forget that, because of your young age, the MOST IMPORTANT thing of all for you is to focus on the long-term consequences of menopause, which include heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's Disease. It's critical that you use something to decrease your risks for those diseases. Hot flashes and moodiness are the least of your concerns. We won't get to these subject for a long time. I'll address them collectively soon, but I'll be giving you many individual tutorials on them later.
Thank you for replying! I wasn't aware of the Alzheimer's connection, but I have been told by my doctors to look after my bone health, and the ways I could do that (and I think I'll be sent for bone density tests soon). Honestly, as someone who never wanted kids, I was initially happy about this, until I realized all the associated health risks and complications that come from it. I will definitely stay tuned to your channel for more information!
If you want to jump ahead, get my book. The videos will cover everything in much greater detail, but it will take a long time to get to the long-term health issues. (I've got a syllabus of about 275 videos for you!)
Thank you, and 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.
