If women had their own Nobel peace prize, I would nominate you. You have done and said things that I know are helping so many women. I share you with all the females in my life and tell them to pass it on!

[@livelovelaughforever2131]

I had my last period at age 49. It’s been a difficult few years of weight gain, very little sex drive and new onset of anxiety and depression. I am so glad I found you!

[@donahileti9282]

I was very touched and admired you so much for speaking so honestly about the narcissist in your life. You must have done a lot of personal work to be able to say that this person is a narcissist but also has some lovely qualities. I struggled with my narcissistic mother all my life and now she has dementia 😢. It’s difficult to grieve for the relationship I never had with her. You are amazing, thank you for all your help ❤

[@Msfruity44]

It’s difficult for me to grieve too. My mother has Alzheimer’s. I love her and hurt because she treated me the same way she was treated and abused. I was the scapegoat/black sheep and abused by my parents and siblings who followed her lead. So now in my 50’s I’m struggling right now to understand it all. Plus going going through perimenopause with little helpful support🥹. So happy healing to all! ❤

[@jillf24]

There are a lot of great books to help with this. Go to Barnes and Noble. I have dealt with this same situation. Narcissistic family member who then became sick. It is a psychological battle. But you have to put yourself first or walk away. Just because they are related to you does not mean they can bring you down! Peace in your life is worth more than the constant stress they bring. YOU are worth it. And find a mental coach to help guide you through this.

[@spriggy4382]

Right there with you💜

[@KittyQueenMeow]

I too want to say I really appreciate the graceful way you briefly described how you managed to place and enforce boundaries with the narcissist in your life. It is very difficult when it’s a close family member. But it helps when more people speak about it, especially with the level of grace as you did. It shows that with education on the narcissism and how we can manage the challenging relationship to the best of our abilities and resources, we can live better lives, and yes, break the generational cycle. I’m 55 and I can attest that it’s never too late to live better!

May i ask Which brand of yam progesterone? Thanks

[@MistressGlowWorm]

For the Wild Yam, does it affect your blood work? Have you seen a rise in level?

[@mic1979-o9d]

@@MistressGlowWorm I’ve noticed a significant decrease in hot flashes and night sweats. Almost gone. The best way to check hormones is not in the blood but a saliva test. It is cheaper. My levels are within range for a menopausal woman. I think that if you don’t feel like yourself or experience more serious symptoms, then you need to consider HRT., My symptoms are not bad to the point of crippling my life, but I’m going to have an MRI to check my visceral fat, and also check my bone density. If the results are not good, then I will consider other alternatives Curiously, while going to physical therapy for a sciatica problem, my doctor advised me to use a cool pack at night on my back before bed. I bought an extra large one and put it inside a pillowcase. I lay on top of it and go to sleep. It helps tremendously with any night sweats you may experience. I don’t wake up at all. I bought mine off Amazon.

This might be my most favorite of your videos. I relate so much to what you’re saying. I’m 57 and not on anything but vaginal estradiol. I’m seeing my GP tomorrow and am demanding HRT. I’m so tired of the symptoms. I’m angry I didn’t do it sooner. I’m angry that the info on HRT is so fucked up. My mom may be alive today had she not avoided HRT like she did. She died at 82. Way too young!

I went to a neurologist recently for 30+ years of migraines. He said to take 600mg of magnesium per day. I take magnesium oxide (well recommended). He also suggested 400mg of B2 for extra support. After doing this every day for 3 months ZERO headaches. I take this supplements every day. Maybe research and try this. A great break through for me. Best wishes

Do they not provide HRT in Canadastan ?. I'm in the States, but it's hard enough here to get help for Menopause. I got 5 yrs. of HRT through a local Naturopath. I'll be honest and say I tried so many different compoundeds, oral pills and even a vaginal supository, but most forms gave me bad side effects. This was years ago in 2007 when I had the hysterectomy. The state Drs.all refused to even brooch the subject with me,-- yet I saw them hand out Viagra to men like candy. I observed this for hours, so I said to the FNP " Wow, I noticed every man in the office got their Viagra," She roared " They need it to stay healthy !". When it came to my mentioning horrible pain when I sit on my err...whohaw, I got the speech : " How dare you ask about that. It's a normal part of aging, so deal with it !°. It really burns me up. I'm thinking who has sex with these men ?. Many of their wives are surely suffering, too. Or are all of them going to bed 25 yr. Olds ?. It burns me up how much time has been wasted because the Medical fields are ignoring half the population. NOW, times have really changed... they asked me if I'd like a sex change !. I'm serious, They tried to sell me on the idea like used car sellers. If I had to stop HRT because it can cause cancer, why would they give me a cocktail of drugs and hormones ?. It's crazy !.

[@krystalgrace6006]

Been to Midi twice. Your appointment is only 30 minutes so you have to talk fast. You won't see the same doctor twice unless they schedule a follow up with you. They are happy to prescribe HRT but the doctors I've had so far are a little strong in their opinions on what you should do rather than what your asking to try. Overall, it's a great, quick option where your being heard and offered help. 👍

Love hearing this. One of my granddaughters has several disabilities and the sweetest nature. Her focus in life seems to have always been that she wants to be strong. She is not concerned about being pretty (i dont think the concept of physical beauty has entered her head) or smart. If someone asks how old she is she looks at them like they have come from another universe but she will tell you she is strong. She finds her own little challenges that build strength and endurance and recognises that each day she is growing stronger. I think she takes after her Mama.😊 I want to be hiking and camping and surfing to the end.

Hi Dr. Haver, I went into menopause at 36 due to premature ovarian failure. I opted out of HRT bc of the cancer warnings associated with the studies. I now know that isn’t true, which is very frustrating given the amount of suffering I went through for 8 years after (still experiencing some symptoms) I took soy supplements to relieve the hot flashes and night sweats. I developed premature ventricle contractions and take verapamil. I’m currently experiencing hip pain. Wondering if it’s too late to take HRT? I will be speaking to my gyn about it, but not sure if it’s too late to get on HRT. Thank so much for these videos! They help me so much.

Love the information my mom passed before I could learn any of this stuff years ago but I will use it and get on H RT soon I’m 51 on vit d3 plus k3, b12, high blood pressure meds , but I know I need more for all this inflammation and flashes and oh I just fell in a store parking lot and then my Side if ribs are achy . I try not to fall because I worry I hope I didn’t do damage when I fell. I digress thanks for all the info

I used transdermal compound progesterone for years . The Doctor that ordered it for me has been studying this for 20 years. He said oral progesterone is least effective because it passes through the liver first , whereas applying it to the skin it’s absorbed quickly.

Sorry to step on any toes but I have to speak out after seeing your supplement choices... There is research that shows that the structure of NMN changes to a less bio-avaliable form when exposed to any heat. There are only a few makers of these supplements, and VERSO is the only one who cold stores its product. The only ones I'll use! Second, resveratrol is also not very bio-available and the better form is trans resveratrol. Taking them both together is 🔥

Wonderful advice as always I will be waiting book launch patiently! Can you talk more about how you went from taking things personal from the narcissist in your life through meditation and journaling
