Menopause Lifestyle Pearls - 16

[@giftboutiq]

HAHAHAHAHAH! YOUR HUSBAND IS A BLAST!! Kudos to both of you for taking SO much time to provide the best information on Menopause. I've NEVER come across a doctor like you in my life! You are the picture of health, inside and out :-) and I appreciate the amount of countless hours you both put into helping others.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Oh, you make me feel so good. Thank you, my dear. I can tell you this: Nothing has ever made me happier than helping women. I'll do absolutely anything to make things better for as many menopausal women as I can. Right now, I'm expanding my services to include seminars (both live and in DVD and other on-demand formats) and one-on-one consulting services. The fact is that I am the only person I know who is doing anything like this. So that means I have a lot of work to do.

[@giftboutiq]

Menopause Barbie I have no doubt in my mind that you will accomplish your dream of reaching out to other woman. The mere fact you've put all this time into making 35 videos shows me that you of all women can do this! I'm waiting to receive your book from Amazon, "Honey, I'm Home". Just reading the description is so exciting!!! Can't wait to read it :-). Side bar; you can be an inspiration to other physicians to help women finally understand the metamorphosis they go through in life ;-). I'm rooting for you from my neck of the woods!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I love you! I really am on a mission to revolutionize the way the world embraces menopause. And you'll love Honey, I'm Home. It's all true. You'll know just how strange I am!

[@giftboutiq]

Menopause Barbie Just started reading "Honey, I'm home". Loving it!!! Can't put it down! You go girlfriend!

[@Heidilambach]

totally agree! Amazing both of you!

[@annadavis2547]

Just retired from teaching. BTW your lesson plans are spot on. (Review, objective, catch interest, teach and summation) I am needing to learn new things, rebalance my life and redefine myself. Thanks for your pearls.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I love giving you the menopause education you deserve. And thank you so much for complimenting me on my teaching style. (I had no idea I was hitting all the objectives!) I'm really just a "professional student" who loves school. I have many degrees. But this is my first attempt at teaching anything other than surgery.

[@tappersuzie]

Its in our hands to change how the world will see women over 50. We do a great dis-service to everyone when we go along with old, tired, negative attitudes about a woman's worth being focused on youth/sexiness only. Those attitudes bring everyone down. Thank you MT

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are so welcome, my dear. My goal with this education is to teach you how to make the rest of your life the best of your life. You get that.

[@carolinecarron2760]

I have just discovered you as a 45yr old woman who has recently found out lm in menopause. THANKS so much for being you & helping me navigate this new world. Your funny, compassionate & extremely knowledgeable. So thanks again from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Welcome to "Menopause University," Caroline If you start with video 1 and watch them all in order, you will understand everything. If you watch them in random order, you will 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.

[@roger12393]

Thank you!! I thought I was the only one in the world that doesn't like to have people sleep over and going to sleep over other peoples houses.!!I feel better now!! I needed to hear that!!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You see! When you mention things like this, there are always those who say, "Me too!"

[@kimberleyhoover]

This has been very inspiring. I have been feeling depressed and lost as my body changes, I don't feel sexy, and I am not loving myself. This helped me not feel as lost! Thank you!

[@elenastabell6245]

I love you so much thank you

[@luludelumeau7090]

I watched this video multiple times as my counseling session. Currently, I am working on "learn to say no" and "no more sleep over party". I'm turning 60 this year and would like to embrace "me time" fully. Thank you, Dr. B. and George...you're awesome people!

[@lindaw140]

Live it up! Most people live like they never going to die; they die without ever have lived!!!! Change it! Learn !!!

[@Vroshall]

I agree with you on never stop learning. I love the phrase once you stop learning you become obsolete

[@MenopauseTaylor]

That's a good one!

[@soniapalmeiro1167]

I have never met such an intelligent and kind person in my life. You are so empowering and an inspiration and and great support !

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are so very kind, Sonia. Thank you for your kind words. I absolutely love giving you the education you deserve. If you need my personal help with anything, please don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.

[@MsRedsfan08]

Although I am not menopausal (at 47) and do not have any of the 'symptoms' yet, I believe in being prepared and your informative videos and book are helping me a great deal. I was fortunate that my mother told me long ago the different aspects of being a woman and not to dread or fear the changes that would occur either through beginning my period or facing menopause. I truly believe that having that information so early on allowed me to enjoy all the aspects and so I will not dread nor fear menopause. I will face it and even embrace it as another step in my journey. Thank you so much for the wisdom & guidance that you offer 😊

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I admire you so much! Your attitude and your appreciation for your wise mother's advice are rare. Your timing is perfect for watching these. You'll learn everything BEFORE you need it, and that's the key. Kudos to you.

[@theoneandonlypinkypinky8245]

I love all of your pink! Thank you for taking time to do this! Nobody else has does this before! We all appreciate and need you! I have never been a conformist.I get a 90 minute massage once a week. I also get pedicures weekly and I get rainbow color. Everyone thinks it funny but instead of being stuck on one color I use many colors! Identity should come much earlier in life but I know some women are identified by their kids or something. I learned to say no at age 16. I am a rape survivor and people know not to violate my boundaries. GladI have you and I am tempted to skip ahead to other subjects but I am watching these in order. But what you said is a confirmation!

[@cindybrown1356]

Precious pearls of wisdom, your caring heart ( I can feel you love us women) ....and wise like an owl! I love you!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

There's no question. I absolutely adore women and love helping them in any way I can.

[@PandaLAG]

I'm SO thankful for each & every one of these videos! Some of these emotional & conscious behaviors are actual things that my therapist is working with me on as well! Thank you Barbie... you're the mentor I didn't know I needed! 😘

[@MenopauseTaylor]

How you spend your days is how you spend your life.

[@suecone2198]

Thanks to your husband for helping you help us!! I think learning to say no was really hard but I am now very good at using that little word. I am a quilter and it is a great way to be around people who are different but all love to do the same thing & share knowledge & life experiences. I have won a few ribbons. My weight is my problem and I am working on it. It really does seem age makes it more stubborn to leave. I am very grateful that people always think I am younger than my real age and I think it is because I do a lot of different things including travel. I am with you on avoiding the sun & my tan comes from a bottle! I know you & your husband spend a lot of time making these videos & gathering props and I thank you so much! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Sue, we are divorced. I do all of this myself now (from video 35 on). But, I'm completely devoted to making sure you have the best and most complete menopause education ever.

[@cityofdestiny9039]

Brava! I was especially validated by your comments on (I'm summarizing loosely) embracing life and learning to love menopause! Life is a gift and a journey... Embracing and loving each stage, managing what we can, and being open to (and looking forward) to the things that cannot be controlled, is part of the excitement!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You really should look upon menopause as the rest of your life and realize that you can make it the very best of your life. That's the goal of this entire education.

[@margaritalara8305]

I discovered your channel through Dominque, and I am so glad she let us Know about you. Thank you for the time, information, the caring for every thing you do to educate us in this journey. Thank to your husband too. Love every video of yours.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

This makes me so happy, Margarita. I love making these videos. And Dominique is the reason I'm doing so. She's the one who told me this would be the perfect thing for me. And now I can't think of anything I like to do more than this.

[@KELLITX]

I just discovered this channel as well. Love it.

[@kafigueroa1]

Dr. Taylor, Thank you for this. I am seeing this as a new chapter and a new me. One thing I struggle with is finding the new me and saying NO.

[@magdaruiz2971]

I want to make a necklace with those pearls , to keep them near my heart! Thank you for this class!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

That's a very good idea. I'd wear a necklace like that, too.

[@catnipbarbie]

I've learned to say "No!!!" I had to learn the hard way but it's been so liberating.

[@gloriap6168]

My my my Dr. Taylor! I think I really needed to hear this, THANK YOU!! God bless you!!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are such a loving and loyal follower, Gloria. I love hearing from you. Thank you so much for all your support.

[@rosatheart3198]

Love our videos. Thank you so much

[@shellcshells2902]

Had a great appt with my obgyn yesterday! Thanks to you. I went informed and have a great plan for these early years of perimenopause. So so comfortable with my INFORMED decisions! Your tutorials are a blessing. xxxx ♡

[@MenopauseTaylor]

That's great news. I'm sure your Ob/Gyn was impressed with you. See what empowerment feel like? I'm really proud of you, RaChelle.

[@marilynrich]

I try my best to implement all of these pearls. Gardening is the best stress reliever and my succulent garden is my pride and joy. 🌿🌸🌵 🍃 Thanks for the reminders! XO Marilyn

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Oh, I'd love to see your garden. I haven't a green thumb by any means. I can only keep people alive, not plants.

[@kathyforgues6994]

I love to crochet, that is one of my favorite ways to relax. I am creating something usually for someone else but it is a joy to do! Great pearls of wisdom, thank you!!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

How wonderful. You're being creative, relaxing, and making someone else happy all at the same time. Lovely.

[@polarisendeaversinc2680]

Fantastic inspiration!! Million thanks for Taylor's husband, too!!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Well, thank you. But, you should know we've been divorced for over 4 years now. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise! So I give you this education all by myself (and love every minute of it).

[@marissolromaris4768]

Guys, It's about 5 years since you recorded this video and it still makes people laugh and be inspired, like you just made me! From the bottom of my heart, I wish that you two are healthy, happy and well in your....fifth country since Argentina. I recently discovered your amazing work and I plan to watch each and every one of your tutorials to the end. I am laughing and learning (and reflecting) all the way. So very well done, dear couple. Big thanks and best best wishes to you.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Thank you for your compliments, but we are no longer a couple, and haven't been since before this video aired 5 years ago. I hope you aren't disappointed to learn that I do all of this all by myself (and I love every minute of it).

[@uamiable]

thank you both, George and yourself, to the awesome and unseen work you do bring us these pearls!!!

[@uamiable]

i feel like this is in some ways, the most important work in the world: if women can can come into their selves the world will change for the better

[@cindystaff2932]

Such good reminders that as we age we can still enjoy ourselves.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Absolutely! We can have more fun than ever.

[@MunchMunchies]

You are the 1 and only menopause adviser I have - Japanese doctors here are not giving me any advice, they just promote their products : herbal medicine and placenta. Thank you for teaching me. I am 48 and experiencing peri menopause symptoms. One thing you can add to this video is BUY A HAND FAN. I am a school teacher and my desk fan follows me to the whiteboard and another sits, sleeps and drinks A/C juice from my PC on my desk. One fan for my car in addition to the A/C, one in my kitchen, living room and bedroom. Cheers to your channel! A from Japan.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You can buy a Menopause Taylor fan from my website. It's pretty, and it can follow you everywhere. If you need me to help you personally, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.

[@ljones98391]

I love this! Just the inspiration that I am needing. Thank you so very much. And your honey is a gem....His timing was perfect.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I'm so glad you're enjoying these. What could be better than learning and laughing at the same time?

[@karenelainea]

I appreciate all the hard work you and your husband do to get these videos out. Love your vintage style. I need to start walking again, I lost a ton of weight but mostly I felt emotionally better. I suffer with severe depression/or maybe it’s menopause, I lost my daughter 7 years ago and have been so depressed since…. However I’m now growing a beard!!!!! Must be menopause. I’m 41. Routine is the key I think. I’ve stopped showering and self care. I really need to help myself. I’ve created a schedule to remind me to take care of me and my home. I’ve totally lost all joy in everything. Lost my identity. I’m so stuck in this rut. I’m a mother and wife, daughter, sister and aunt… but lost who I am

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Karen, Please consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME so that I can help you personally with all these things by tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. All of this is modifiable. Oh, and we're divorced! Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. He was only in the picture for the first few videos. I've been doing this all by myself for about 5 years now.

[@chrissydunn3811]

This is soooo amazing- I’m so grateful for you and all your efforts. I’m going through several videos a day, in order. Weird I’m excited for the next pearl. So curious why you choose to move each year! I love it. I asked my husband if we could do that when the kids are gone and he said “let’s do it”, “im in”

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Well, living in different countries is an education like no other, and I highly recommend it. However, now that I have lived on eery continent except Antarctica (and some of them multiple times), I have stopped the annual moves. They were a lot of works, and now that this business has taken off, I am just so passionate about doing it that I've decided to stop moving. I will certainly spend long stretches of time in other countries occasionally, but they won't be "moves." I am so glad you're getting this education the right way.

[@soraidairacheta1959]

I loved when you said " yo got me " ... thats right, you make a great diference in my menopause & life .

Thank you for your appreciation my dear. But, it's only me. George and I had divorced before this video even aired. Mr. Wonderful was really Mr. Horrible in disguise. But I love every minute of giving you this education.

[@Mrs.Silversmith]

It's so true that learning to say no is crucial. You cannot live life trying to meet a laundry list of expectations while sacrificing your own well-being. I had to learn this lesson very early in life because I'm autistic and it has been an absolute lifesaver in terms of managing my daily stress level. Knowing my limits and not feeling guilty about turning down an offer or leaving early when I'm totally tapped out is completely liberating.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are so correct. I applaud you for honoring your needs.

[@LaVenderGrasshouse]

You're amazing! Thanks for this video. This has been the toughest time to deal with this transition.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Well, I'm here to help you. The key is to get this education in an orderly manner. So, if you start with video 1 and watch them all in order, you will understand everything. If you need my personal help in tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.

You look so beautiful....thank you again for your videos. I have been exercising at a higher cardio level and the positive results were almost immediate. I feel like a million bucks after an intense cardio workout. Unfortunately I do not feel this way when I exercise at a lower cardio level. I think the key is getting your heart rate up for a certain amount of time...I only do at most 20 minutes.

Thank you so much for your hard work. We are so lucky to have you as a resource. So, I am off to the gynecologist for my first check up/discussion with my MD re: menopause on Thursday. I will be SUCH a great patient because of YOU and your tutorials. Thank you so much. Nancy

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Please let me know how it goes. I'll bet your gynecologist is thrilled that you're getting this education. He/She will probably want all their patients to tune in.

[@LilybelleAnnabelle]

Well, Dr. Taylor, I was a terrific patient. Love my new Dr. She spent lots of time with me and "downloaded" a great deal of information. Because I am educated by the Amazing Dr. Taylor, I able to really "hear" ALL of what she had to say because everything she was saying, I had heard from you first. No surprises for me. Like you, she highlighted the importance of good diet and exercise - she especially supports veganism. AND OF COURSE, I told her about you when she asked me how I had so much info. I happily told her about you and your background and the goal of your YOUTube channel. She thought that it was great...and she wrote down your channel name and indicated that she will pass your info onto her patient. She was happy for me that I found you. I also told her nurse who worked with me pre and post appt as well. I felt so good about my time there and less nervous about discussing my issues with my Dr. For some reason, I got emotional and I hugged her as I left. Thanks to you, I was a great patient, responsive to what she was saying and clear headed. I was able to make good decisions FOR ME....thanks to YOU. Look forward to your next video. Thanks, Nancy

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Oh, Nancy, that's how your appointment with your gynecologist SHOULD be! You should love spending time with each other. I always hugged my patients. I am so very happy to hear this. You see, everyone won. Thank you for sharing your entire experience with me. I could picture it all as I read what you'd written. I think you're going to succeed beautifully with your menopause.

[@lauralarios423]

Thank you Barbie, what I like the most is, say not to sleep over. Usually the holidays are very tiring, I do not relax or enjoy them.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Psychiatrists will tell you that holidays are the most stressful time of the year. The rates of nervous breakdowns and suicide skyrocket. Why? Because you go visit all the people (family) you've actively avoided all year, stay in the same house with them, take turns in the too-tiny bathroom, pretend that you're still "Little Laura," and try to act like you're happy about it. The truth is that you're not "Little Laura." You're grown-up, independent Laura with her own issues that you can't dare talk about because it will ruin the holidays for everyone else. Oh, and everyone expects you to join in the commercial gift-giving frenzy so that everyone can receive a bunch of junk from people who don't have a clue what they want. You're not alone in your feelings about the holidays. Too bad we don't just say, "You know, I'm not going to stress myself out. I'll stay home, and I'm not going to participate in the gift exchange."

Next week, I'm visiting my doctor (gun in hand) to beg him for an HRT. ;) I sent you a message through your website. I hope it gets to you.

Menopause Barbie thank you I wish I could change the way I feel about myself but I don't feel confident or pretty at all thanks for answering I also was questioning about my period in an other video and you suggested it might be peri menopause because I have been having my period for a month I have a appointment with my ob gynecologist on January 30 going to ask her for blood test thanks for listening I have no friends

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Step 1 is to have your gynecologist assess your periods. Please talk to your gynecologic about the way you're feeling, too. Ask for some help. This may be purely hormonal. If not, you've got some work to do to figure out what it's about and how to change it. You are much too important to spend even one second thinking otherwise. I wish I could hug you right now.

[@zadkiel823]

George is adorable great advice. Thankfully I don't have a negative attitude pertaining to menopause maybe that's why my long list of symptoms aren't severe. I woke up stiff and achy ran down town for just a little while for some business I always run into friends after just a little walking around I felt so much better exercise is so necessary. Focus on what we love to do is important I really hope to get one of these adorable pitbull puppies born to a rescue dog adopted by a neighbor. What a fun challenge and it will open a whole new area of.advocacy that I have always been interested in but couldn't do much in defend.the pitties community with my only dog being a beagle.

I've never thought of bee keepers as lovely, but I see no reason why their outfits can't be.

He knows more about menopause than most menopausal women!

[@karenbaumgartel6077]

@@MenopauseTaylor Wow! I didn‘t expect to get a response from you! Very kind! I have quietly been watching your videos, from the start, as instructed, just the last week or so. I don‘t remember where on youtube I found out about you and your video „courses“, and all the rest, but along with other information from other doctors I have found here (there is Dr. Louise Newson from Britain, and Dr. Sheila de Liz, an American doctor who practices in Germany where I live, but not in my city, unfortunately) I am finally beginning to feel like I may be able to help myself. I am now 52, and have had noticeable symptoms (similar to bladder infection or itching, or general discomfort) for about the last 2 and a half or more years. Still getting my period nearly regularly, though not at all heavy, but my body is definitely changing. I was one of those people who was very much against taking any „medication“ or extra stuff, but as the symptoms worsen, I have been getting desperate, with the pain and discomfort which comes rather unexpectedly in general, and the negative psychological effects. I do take a twice weekly suppository which helps the PH balance and has a small amount of „Estriol“ (don‘t know the equivalent in English). Now the last gynaecologist I went to said I may have something called Lichen Sclerosis and prescribed cortisone, to take over 9 weeks, to be applied less frequently every 3 weeks. It kind of helps lessen the discomfort, but not always. Well, after listening to many of Dr. Newson‘s videos and podcasts, as well as your videos here, I am nearly certain now that I want to ask for HRT (estrogen). I am now convinced that the benefits far outweigh the possible side effects. Also, my mother had many bad breaks in the last 10 years of her life, and I want to try to prevent this. Not to mention other things like dementia and heart disease. I have passed on your videos and others to my sisters (who are both mostly through it all, but even the one who is in her mid 60‘s could benefit) and many friends. One of the best things about your videos, I think is that you go through the information fairly slowly, which makes it more likely that even I (who listen and watch while cleaning up or cooking) can retain most of the info. But even more is this: I know now to stand up to doctors and gynaecologists who try to prescribe things that make it worse (the urologist I was sent to, with terrible results). Also not to put up with being treated like this is some rare kind of unknown thing, or that I am exaggerating! So now, I am going to try to get through more of your videos until my appointment with a gynaecologist who I believe seemed to be open minded. Wish me luck, and thank you again for putting SO MUCH time and EFFORT into your work. It really does help, as you know! Stay well, both of you!
