It’s Lisa Bilyeu with another episode of Women of Impact and this one is SOOO important and SOOO close to my heart because we are talking about something HALF of the population will face and yet NONE are getting the support they need so they suffer alone & with no support - and that’s menopause.
Here to help demystify menopause for us is the amazing, brilliant Dr. Mary Claire Haver - an OB/GYN, author, and absolute EXPERT when it comes to all things menopause.
And she is here to call out all the super common misconceptions about menopause, including the hidden symptoms of perimenopause that are misdiagnosed or ignored by doctors, unexplored areas of research, and NEW findings that are shedding light on this vastly understudied area of medicine.
We go DEEP through the LONG list of symptoms women experience, HEAD TO TOE, that are dismissed as “aging” but are often linked to your changing hormones levels from menopause.
We also talk about the links between chronic stress, early menopause, and chronic disease, and soooo many other LIFE-CHANGING insights and strategies about women, menopause, and how we differ from men!
Dr. Mary Claire goes DEEP into the best things you can actually do - from your diet, exercise, sleep, and even stress - to prep your body for menopause and ALLLLL the changes you will go through in the process.
It doesn’t have to be the worst time of your life, guys!! There IS something you can do about your menopause symptoms, and you don’t need to feel ignored and suffer in silence any longer!!
So please homie, PLEASE know that you’re not alone!!!
As women we have to stop being ashamed about menopause and just OWN that this is part of our journey, there IS something we can do about it, and we DON’T need to suffer in silence any longer!!

Before I found Dr. Haver online ( 1 year ago) I thought I was going nuts. I had pain, without exercise, dry eye, weight gain, without diet change, frozen shoulder, although I swim regularly. Nobody really talked about these things. All I associated with menopause were hot flashes. Knowing that my symptoms are part of menopause, a natural part of a woman’s life cycle, has brought peace. Changing my diet, taking Vitamin D, Fish oil and Magnesium had helped. I swim for strength training and eat a healthy diet. Cutting out sugar and alcohol made the biggest difference. The hot flashes are gone. I sleep well at night. My hips no longer hurt. Thank you for discussing these issues publicly. Knowing that one isn’t alone with these problems and learning what to do has been very helpful.

I have had the worst 7 years of my life during menopause. Im 54 now. Like all these ladies I have put on 2.5st when I have always been a size 8/10 (uk) and am now heading to size 14. Nothing in my diet and exercise has changed. I have been su*cid*l, been dissociating, have been self harming and my life has been hell. No-one will help even when I have self harmed and attempted su*ci*e. I have been fighting for help, made numerous complaints to different organizations and still got nowhere. I havent been able to work, keep myself and my home clean to even a basic standard, haven't been able to leave my house. At one time I was bringing up 4 kids as a single parent and working fulltime and managed to get my degree. I had a fairly successful career before all this happened. I'm only just starting to come out of it now after 7 hellish years but I am coming out of it, thank god. I'm still nowhere near how I used to be but at least I can get dressed most days, can shower a couple of times a week and can get out of the house sometimes. No-one has even tried to find out what is wrong with me. Being totally honest no-one has even cared if I died not even people who are supposed to be being paid to support people. What are they getting paid for?

[@sherrymurphy855]

Your story is one of tragedy and triumph. Sadly the medical profession is more about profit over people. I'm sure you have done all the research for yourself - keep on being the beautiful you who you are meant to be. Blessings to every woman whose voices are unheard and/or misunderstood. Thank you for sharing. ❤️😔♥️

[@gillb9222]

​@sherrymurphy855 even in the UK where healthcare is meant to be free the only help I have got is when I have gone private. And then when you get private care the NHS either refuses to accept anything that comes from a private provider or refuses to treat you because you are already paying. It's an absolute joke (and not in a good way). I feel for anyone trying to get help because even if you get a good GP much of the system is broken. Sadly it is regional as well. When I lived in England it was challenging to get referred but once you were things would happen. I've moved to Scotland and, in my current area, you hit a brick wall with every part of the system. It's horrendous

The fact that my WHOLE life I was under the total belief that menopause starts when your period stops and just now finding out there is perimenopause which is the beginning is nuts! I'm 42 years old and hearing these symptoms and realizing that I've had SEVERAL of these things in the last couple years... some more often in this last year than before is shocking to me.

This information is so eye opening. I lived 20 years of low energy, depression, weight gain, heavy periods, etc. (perimenopause). Nobody could help me. My naturopath (there was also a doctor in the practice in case I needed a referral) started with bloodwork to establish a baseline. He asked how I was sleeping, what I was craving and the health of my relationships. He took some of the darkness away. Now that I am in menopause, I have my life back. I have other issues, but life is still better than the hell before. Looking back, I was experiencing chronic stress which probably triggered the symptoms.

[@njay4361]

Medical gaslighting is out of control here in the US. Not just around menopause but for so many conditions that are both difficult to diagnose and treat. It is absolutely critical be your own advocate and if something a doctor said doesn't sit right, trust your gut. My best friend took over 7 years and $500K to find out that her vascular subtype EDS was causing her life-threatening issues. Can't tell you how many doctor's chalked her symptoms up to being in her head. This story jeeps repeating itself, much like that broken record of the "American Dream". To quote Carlin, they call it that because you have to be asleep to believe it. Wake up!!

Why do teen girls get heart palpitations (cardiologyst ruled out all heart disease)? Must be to do with hormones. Estrogen onset? What can be done? But md offers nothing to help that. Thank you

[@Alienethful]

Magnesium taurate is a lifesaver for palpitations!

What do you do if you can’t take hrt ?

[@heidibeilstein6459]

They’d rather do carpal or shoulder surgery than check your hormones

[@renchemarais8419]

Yesss!!

What does it mean when a woman has no peri-menopause symptoms? One month i had my last period & that was it. That was almost 15 years ago. I have never been pregnant & have weighed the same within 5 pounds since high school-maybe that's why ???

[@caydence808]

I think you have a very healthy system. My guess is you rarely get sick too.

[@rmh691]

Wow, that’s amazing

We are all so different that is for sure :*)

I take sertraline 100 mgs to manage feelings of being overwhelmed.

17 yrs ago, my friend was diagnosed with breast cancer during or shortly after HRT.

[@niko4305]

Oral HRT?

[@sherrymurphy855]

@@niko4305 not sure - I believe it was oral

[@georgiabessie]

You can get breast cancer whether on not you take HRT. Women who are on HRT have better outcomes than women who don’t.

[@rmh691]

The science is in on this. The transdermal patch is highly protective for cardiovascular health, dementia, bones. You are actually at risk by not doing it.

[@georgiabessie]

@@sherrymurphy855 Women will get breast cancer whether or not they are on HRT. outcomes are better if you are on it.

Hormones therapy should last for how long? And what will happen when one stops with hormone therapy? Do all the complaints start again ? And what does hormone therapy do on the long term? Any side effects? Hormone therapy, is it comparable with the anti conception pill? Bc with anti conception pill one looses sense of being yourself, emotionally, mentally plus other side effects. After all these are synthetic pils, synthetic hormones and on a longvterm could give serious illnesses maybe?

The contraceptive pill is chemical whereas modern HRT is 100% bodyidentical... that's why you can take it for the rest of your life. Just like you would not stop treating hormone defficient thyroid gland, you replace what is missing on a low level with modern hormones! The benefits drastically outweigh the cons! 💪👍

[@maggiemagsbond83]

You can stay on hormones until you die if you do well on them

[@jennieoh8543]

@@nicolemerz1731 HRT for menopause is a tiny, tiny drop of hormones compared to BC.

Belly fat... itchy ears... Good to know where it's coming from.

I want a risk/benefit assessment from my doctor not the BS & recommendations to take dozens of pharmaceuticals for dozens of individual symptoms so they can get their bonuses. It’s criminal.

[@redmoon5287]

“ Menowashing “ sadly true. I feel menopause is getting more and more attention for finanacial profits. Everyone be aware, I know how desperate we can feel going through that stage but let ‘s not be fooled. I truly hope hrt is a rather safe option and not something that in 20 years from now we are not going to be told it was a very bad idea. As so many for the past years I have become very skeptical of pharmaceuticals. At the same time I do not want tio be narrow minded and not use potential wonderful tools we may have today.

[@robinham2796]

This is EXACTLY what happened to my cousin. She had an ovarian cyst, It burst and so hey let’s take out both ovaries! Yep, went into menopause at 47, a year later, She’s in a psychiatrist office, She told Her it’s all in your head, next day, she used an extension cord to hang herself….
