😮 yes interesting advice regarding menopause. I would like to see a discussion about menopause that doesn't focus on hot flashes/flushes. Rather, the massive drop in around 8 hormones including oxytocin. This has a social consequence. Divorce, feeling empty, no sex drive, and the elephant in the room that EVERY nutritionist avoids MENOPAUSE AFFECTED PSYCHOSIS. 😮😮 What is the consequences of hormone imbalance, anxiety, depression, low sex drive, disconnection and intolerance to stress. What are the consequences, poor work performance/job loss, sleep deprevation, can't feel love anymore... and then add to this, kids leaving the nest, caring for aged parents/death of parents and partners who think you've gone crazy/brain fog/can no longer perform at superwoman level holding down family, job, housework, caring responsibility etc... and then having to deal with men's midlife crisis (usually involving being dumped for a younger woman and being left homeless and penniless after a lifetime of support)... no one discusses MAP, no one discusses the social consequences. 55% of homeless people are women over 55. That statistic is the only thing that is in balance and consistent across western countries..😢😢 oops, I forgot, the lifetime of gender pay gap inequality/time off having babies compounded by age discrimination against elderly women in the workforce leading to low retirement savings and poverty... add to that, the increase in self administered/deliberate ending of women's lives around the 45 - 55 years old age and I would actually redefine Menopause as the most important and intense period of a woman's life. Certainly the most life threatening.

I started taking soja isoflavones 1500 mg pills twice a day already a long time ago and it helped me a lot against hot flashes etc. I keep on taking them because I found that it helped my skin tone as well..

It’s been so hot here so I tried it in a pan Added some evoo and fresh garlic. Doing this with broccoli too. It’s so yummy ☺️

I should add that I rinse the veg in warm water first if frozen and steam it in the pan a little before adding the seasonings sea salt pepper garlic powder onion powder and parm Evoo and a few tabs of butter.

I am 77 and i asked my doc to test my hormone levels and she refused; said my levels wouldn't matter cause it would be too dangerous for me to take hormones, i.e. I've had breast cancer.

[@janetscott88]

This is the trouble with sticking solely to allopathic medicine 😮

[@bluebirdgramma6317]

Hope you see a different doc and REALLY listen to all of Dr Li's video!!

Love how you show us the link between the gut microbiome and hormones. I’ve followed hormone specialists for years and never heard this!

[@umis941]

Laying on my couch suffering from excessive bleeding post menopause, I dozed a bit, woke up thinking why, I should look out for more info on this condition. Surprisingly; without raising a finger: KZbin suggests this video. I wrote this comment before even watching it.

[@ALHack29]

Just in case you haven’t got it checked….that could be a symptom of uterine cancer. If you haven’t yet, you might consider getting it checked. Hope you get better!!!

[@marvanbee]

Yeah...I wouldn't presume this video is the solution to your problem.

[@marvanbee]

I would love to see a video on hormone healthy eating for people who suffer from intense allergies. I can't eat half this stuff because my allergies (sinus issues, sneezing, asthma) are made worse by things that cause inflammation or produce more mucus (eggs, grains, nightshades...).

[@anntaft7808]

@@ALHack29those were my symptoms for cancer. Got it early. Was a surprise!

[@Lynda-vl3ft]

I’m many years post menopause, but since I get so much out of your videos I decided to watch this one anyway. I’m glad I did because It contains a great deal of useful information for all of us. Thank you!

[@arizonasierra]

For the best menopause information you really should check out Mary Claire Haver. She's also an OB gynecologist. I'm 61 an just started HRT about 6 months ago. Regret not getting it sooner. Could have prevented so many problems. I lost bone and muscle and had chronic fatigue and migraines that started in perimenopause. No more migraines now since starting estradiol patch.. nor hot flashes.

[@lucysky9827]

I'm so glad you have your own site, I've subscribed. I can't thank you enough Dr. Li, you brought me to health, after having microscopic colitis and no doctor could help me. I dropped the steroids after I listened to your first tedtalk broadcast. The more you were a guest on shows, the more I learned. I cannot thank you enough!!!! A million thanks!!!!

[@user-ko1hv7kv2h]

Thank you so much for sharing these great tips and instructions. I have had stomach issues for a long time and have had a difficult time getting my micro biome in order, causing recent dental issues over the past 4 years. My dentists have never mentioned the supplement that you can chew and then swallow. I am so grateful for sharing this. You are such a blessing! Bren

[@Lisa87DJ]

So helpful - thanks Dr. Li!! I am so inspired to spend more time in the kitchen after hearing you speak on the various health benefits of different foods!

[@PanchoPugNgo]

Dr. Li, you are a life savior.I know that most listeners, like me, probably already have an idea about these foods that we need to take for our hormones, but I appreciate how you went into details on what role they do play to help our regulate the hormones in our body. Since I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2018, the doctor advised me to just take birth-control pills and nothing else, and I thought that was unacceptable, so I've always been on the lookout for foods that will help regulate my hormones. I was also already borderline obese per my doctor and was also on the borderline to getting Diabetes, and this really caught me by surprise.I got to know about protein-rich and high fiber diet and ayurvedic medicines like Ashwaghanda, Turmeric, etc. I realize, all I had to do to regulate my hormones was to go back to eating the foods I used to eat growing up, I'm Asian and our meals are usuallyy loaded with vegetables, but when I started working abroad, I lead a sedentary lifetyle and took my foods for granted. I had since been able to regulate my weight, (with 30mins-1hour of resistance workout / weight training which apparently is the type of work that is best if you have PCOS, it def. worked for me). I'm grateful for videos like this that actually educates women, like me, on how we can better take care of our body.

Unfortified nutritional yeast is great substitute for cheese. So happy to hear that sour dough bread is even healthier. No store bread is real. Has to come from specialty bakery. Costco has real stuff, organic shelf stable.

Thank you, Dr. Li, for encouraging us to eat foods of nutritional value. Other docs tell us to take medicine only.

[@TaijaSkyDragon]

Blood test to see what your personal body reacts negatively to. No dairy or eggs and some nuts for me, but we’re all different. I cook cod with spices in almond milk.

Thank you so much Dr. Last year I was diagnosed of having Stage 2A+ in my left breast. I was 76 then. Am not taking any maintenance. I have low progesterone. Am done with 6 chemo cycles and mastectomy.y biopsy results showed a residue. Am in treatment of 14 Intravenous immunotherapy. I have 2 more cycles. All my lab test results were good. Except there was a time I had high triglycerides but not alarming I think it was the imbalance female hormones that triggered the growth of CA cells. Eager to hear from you Doctor. I follow most of your advices on what to eat. Thank you. God bless

Hello, hah didnt know lactobacillus helps with teeths, in my home country Kazakhstan we drink fermented Horse milk Kumis, from raw milk has iodine also lactobacillus, also fermented raw Camel milk called Shubat, anyone if you go there try it so tasty. Here in Italy in the city close to us has Sauer dough over 120years old. They make tasty bread.

[@proveska]

Thank you for this video! I'm 24, and was diagnosed with PCOS. My hormones are normal levels, but I have the symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Birth control is the only thing that's helped me. My biggest symptoms are irregular periods, and acne with low energy. Also got my period very late, 17. But all the test show everything is normal? Healthy weight, healthy levels of everything. So it's frustrating! I'm hoping eating some of these foods will help me.

[@raewynannbenten1385]

Thank you Dr Li. Wonderful presentation. I’m a menopausal woman who has been taking HRT for 4 years, primarily to treat hot flushes and prevent osteoporosis. Ultimately I’d like to wean myself off HRT over the next three years. So I’m very interested in eating for hormonal balance and for good health in general, and to prevent chronic disease as I age. Greetings from Australia.🇦🇺

[@dvdgalutube]

May I ask why would you like to take off having HRT if it’s working for you? There are some new studies shown without the proper hormone levels, women’s brain and bones would shrink. I’m currently doing some research on HRT because very soon I’ll be peri menopause. 😊

[@softblackkitten]

You did an amazing presentation. I'm learning how to feed and care for my brain and gut. You reminded to eat the rainbow, I leaned additional sources of omega 3's; I didn't know those brain oxytocin functions, 💌exciting! Eat broccoli, mushroom stems.

Thank you. Please make a video about food and utrine fibroids. Some say eggs are bad because of estrogen. The same is true with dairy products. It's full of hormones. I am so confused about who to believe. I love meat, but I stopped.

[@CriticaIsabella]

hi there! not the original creator but I can say eating fruits and vegetables and staying away from processed foods is pretty much always best for your health. but your body is not going to get thrown out of wack if you want to eat meat or eggs every once in a while, it can handle it :)

I am Asian, so we always used the whole mushroom, tops and stems, when cooking. ;-)

[@angelaochoa6684]

I am a big fan and love the practical veggie focused advise 🙏 However, I have heard other resources that describe the origin of most urinary tract infections are from chicken consumption. This is not to be taken lightly, especially for women. If you have any info or opinion related to this, I am always interested in learning more. You are the only plant based lifestyle doctor I have heard or read to have positive things to say about chicken consumption. Especially considering all of the healthier sources of plant based protein available. Thanks 💚🌱

Dr. Li I don't know if you ever reply to comments to your videos. But you mentioned IGF 1. I take Maca to relieve my menopause symptoms as I cannot take hrt. And it has helped especially with my cognition. It's my understanding that maca can increase your IGF1 which is beneficial to our bones, but now that I've watched your video I'm concerned that maybe it isn't safe to take. Or is it a minute amount? I don't know if you've done any research on maca.
