Wonderful video with a clear answer to those foods/drinks that decrease your risk for osteoporosis. Thankfully, I do not drink alcohol or soda pop and limit my green tea to less than 16 ounces a day. My choices give my body a fighting chance to prevent osteoporosis. Your poor skeleton looked so “full” by the end of the video! Thank you, dear Barbie! XO~Maria

@@MenopauseTaylor HELP ! I'm 53 years old. I've had hypothyroidism for over 15+ years with stabilized levels while taking my Tirosint thyroid medication, but my GYN put me on vaginal estrogen cream last year due to vaginal atrophy, and then although I never had or have hot flashes or any menopause symptoms she thought that since I had a partial hysterectomy 25 years ago; she then put me on estrodiol patches 2 x week so I used the patches for about 3 months and my thyroid levels went out of control so I had palpitations and a number of ER visits in which they told me that estrogen can interfere with thyroid levels so due to the palpitations they suggested I get off the patches which I did 2 weeks ago, but now I have a HIGH level of anxiety and panic attacks several times per day soooo they put me on Buspar on Monday. Along with Xanax during the attacks so as you can see im a big mess now. How long do you think the patches will get out of my system so that Hopefully my thyroid, palpitations, anxiety will go away ? And is there anything natural I can eat or drink to help my body recover and heal from all this ? I know HRT is good for many woman, but sadly in my case it wasn't a good option for me. I know you're an expert in this field so that's why I'm reaching out to you. Thank you ! 🙏💛

[@Corrans]

May I ask: why or how is it that soy increases bone density more in neck/spine than hips? Just curious. Thanks for another great video.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Nobody knows. And remember, only a lifetime of soy intake makes any difference. And the difference is not an "increase" in bone density. It's just "maintenance" of bone density. This means it helps prevent bone loss but does not replace bone lost in post-menopause.

[@ashurohela2452]

I wish you as my gynecologist in India, love n regards

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are so kind, my dear. But the privilege of being able to teach you what nobody else is teaching you is a great pleasure.

[@cm1906]

Dr Taylor, is sparkling (carbonated) water, such as San Pellegrino, a problem for bone health as well? Is it the carbonation in the soft drinks, or where does the phosphorus that’s problematic come from?

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Sparkling waters generally do not contain phosphorous. Carbonated water is water that has been infused with carbon dioxide gas. Unless there are other minerals added, carbonated waters do not increase bone loss like carbonated sodas do.

[@cm1906]

Menopause Taylor Thank you, Dr Taylor! 🌸

[@Nellie7777777]

Hello😊 does soft drinks include Lacroix or mineral water like perrier?

[@lisarogers3478]

Newly diagnosed with osteoporosis and the series has been super informative. Wondering if you mean 1 to 1.5 GRAMS of protein per kilo instead of milligrams? Thanks

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Yes. Sorry for mis-speaking.

[@Daria-dg5el]

Dr Taylor, are you sure you meant 45 to 67 milligrams of protein per day? This sounds woefully low. As an example, one egg has 6000 milligrams of protein. Something sounds less than credible.

[@micaa3582]

I think she meant grams instead of mg.

[@len1682012]

Mica A, I also thought she’s made a mistake. It should be in grams.

Great video I eat this stuff all the time I don't drink soda or alcohol except for very little red wine I avoid soy for thyroid but it's a great food I do like my caffeine without sugar I recently began seed and carb cycling to balance hormones and maintain weight it's worth looking into

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are learning so much!

[@alliecatarts]

I'm new to your channel and have enjoyed your videos so far!! I'm a bit confused about this one though. What about amino acids? And the dietary acid load of meat fish and eggs? Don't they also create an acidic environment and pull calcium from your bones?

[@MenopauseTaylor]

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 KZbin 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. Your question is something I address (to the extent of its relevance) in other videos. But it sounds to me like you have some misinformation.

[@TitianTopsyTurvy]

Thank you for all the great information, but not all soft drinks (or soda pop) contain phosphorus (phosphoric acid). Are the soft drinks that don't contain phosphoric acid ok to drink? Is the carbonation of the drinks an issue too?

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Soft drinks and sparkling waters that do not contain phosphorous are fine.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Carbonated water is water that has been infused with carbon dioxide gas. Unless there are other minerals added, carbonated waters do not increase bone loss like phosphorous-containing carbonated sodas do.

[@TitianTopsyTurvy]

@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you so much for your reply. No more cola drinks for me and I will be checking every label for the dreaded phosphoric acid in future.

[@leelee-nr5my]

I wanted to ask your thoughts about soy in relationship to thyroid function and whether it is better to consume it for your bones to avoid osteoporosis or avoid it due to predisposition of women to thyroid problems in menopause ?

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You have some misinformation. There is no problem with soy for your thyroid. That's a huge American myth with no basis in fact (as is so much of what most people "know' these days).

[@leelee-nr5my]

Exactly! That's why you can count on me to always tell you the whole truth and the whole story. And you'll see that I am very specific about everything. Most of the confusion comes from generalizations.

[@jovicrazed]

@@MenopauseTaylor Yes, your tutorials are so incredibly helpful. I am so much more I formed from watching your videos. My doctors (GP and OBGYN) do not appreciate me coming in with information that I’ve researched. It’s really unfortunate.

[@justjosie99]

What are thoughts on almond milk for calcium? Also please clarify..... I have read that spinach increases your risk because it is high in Oxalates. Same for sweet potatoes. Is this true?

[@MenopauseTaylor]

When you write, "increases your risk," to what are you referring? Spinach does contain oxalate. It is a calcium salt. But it is a risk factor for kidney stones, not osteoporosis. One of the basic principles you will learn from this education is the necessity for specificity. Generalizing will always mislead you.

[@justjosie99]

@@MenopauseTaylor thank you! So much information out there. It's making me crazy!

[@KT-ml1sy]

@@MenopauseTaylor My doc that gave me my recent Osteoporosis diagnosis (I'm 58, -3.1 spine T-score) specifically told me to STOP eating dark leafy greens especially spinach., as well as all high-oxalate foods. He said oxalates bind to the calcium and prevent calcium absorption, and even worse, can actually pull the calcium out of my bones. Can you please speak to this? I have been on BHRT since shortly after meno started with good dosage of estrogen. My MD's exact words were "your osteoporosis is most likely caused by your plant-forward diet". This is vey confusing. Can you please comment? Thank you for all of your valuable information!

Soy is high in nickel! But before I had Nickel poisoning I ate soy frequently. Flax seed also which is high in nickel too. It could be that the Nickel allergy I have made the soy and flax seed hurt my bones I don't know. Anyway this is valuable information to women. I never had hot flashes and it is because of the high soy diet I ate. I know Nickel allergy is rare and Nickel poisoning is even more rare so most women should follow this advice! I think women complaining incessantly about hot flashes irrational since this info is easy to find. You are cracking me up with the skeleton eating fish. LOL! I don't drink anything with caffeine and soft drinks are bad for the bones and high in Nickel. I cant even have green tea! I don't drink alcohol at all. I have such a limited diet now due to Nickel poisoning I dont need to add to my health problems. I have never craved it but maybe because I never drank it. Thanks so much for this education!
