Q & A About Menopause Taylor

Most people who have a KZbin channel make videos that tell you all about how they live their own lives: How they dress, what they eat, what they take for various medical problems, etc. I don't do that. My channel is purely educational, and I don’t even have an angle or opinion to push on you. My menopause education is all about YOU, not me. But wouldn’t you know that I get dozens of questions about me! So, my staff has convinced me to do a Q & A video addressing all the questions I get over and over and over again. So, if you’re curious about my skincare regimen, or what I eat in a day, or how I manage my arthritis, watch this video.

[@KarenRye1]

So glad I found you via Angie from Hot and Flashy! I was refusing to consider HRT because I had heard lots of negative stuff about it but now I know and understand the importance and benefits of using it. I’m 2 years post menopause and was feeling worse with every week that passed! I got a script from my GP today for Estrogen and progesterone patches. 🌸🌸

Oh, how kind you are to give us this glimpse into your life, Dr. Barbie! Sometimes in life we are gifted with special people, people meant to make us better, cause us to think on the deeper things of life, encourage us to step out of the mundane, someone to be our cheerleader, someone that truly loves us women. All of these things and so much more, describe you. I’ve been changed for the better because of you. I knew somehow I related to you on a deeper level because I am also an introvert, although I often call myself an extroverted introvert! Lol. Small talk, and the like drives me to distraction, give me a meaty conversation. Thank you from my heart for all you do, there is no one like you, and I love you, Dr. Barbie. ❤️❤️❤️

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You know, as I made this video, I had certain women in mind. And YOU were one of them. I knew you'd feel like you really know me and understand all my traits. I just love knowing you, Cindy. You have enriched my life in ways you can't imagine.

Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your life and for caring so much about women to give your time and energy to educate us in such an empowering, understandable and entertaining way. It's thanks to you that I started HRT last month and am now on day 28 and feeling great so far! I'm sleeping well now, hot flushes have stopped and I just feeling much 'better' in general. To be honest, before finding your channel I was feeling a bit 'meh' about the whole being nearly 50 thing and the menopause in general but now I feel so much more confident in myself and positive about the future. 😊 Thanks again, it's all down to the education and inspiration that you give. x

[@lynnettedelgadoNYC]

Something about this video encourages curiosity and celebration of all women.. Although you focused on sharing your life and style with us, every aspect resonated with me personally, regardless of similar or different tastes or style. I celebrate what a lovely lady you are! I found myself looking around my world and reflecting on wonderful nuances unique to me, reminding myself what I really like about me, and inspired about where there is room for change. You are creating a movement Dr. Taylor, ignited by providing stellar education about menapause and women's health, while debunking detrimental myths. However, what I see is a women sharing her life's passion, by her own terms and having a blast it; saying and sharing what she pleases, in support of educating women so they can do as they please. Thank you for opening your doors so candidly. You made me daydream about giving an intimate tour of my lifestyle once I take control of my menapause in solidarity....The daydream morphed into other unfinished daydreams about what I could do.....but you get the drift.. I am new to KZbin as well. Are letters ok? Well, here it is! Please pardon my latitude. My best to you! 💜 -L

[@MenopauseTaylor]

What a profound and loving message, Lynnette. You really nailed my goal of empowering women to do as they please, but with confidence. This is truly my passion. And I will be doing it for the rest of my life. Thank you from the depths of my heart for your kind and insightful message. I can't wait to see what you end up doing with your menopower.

You have many options. If you want me to help you navigate the for your present situation and future transition into menopause, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation. It will be ideal for laying out a game plan and knowing your priorities in advance. If you want a consultation, go to MenopauseTaylor.ME to schedule one. I do them on Skype, FaceTime, and Facebook Messenger. You can include all the things you want to cover when you fill out the form, and then send me any labs or tests you've had. That way, I can incorporate everything into the session. I'll create a personalized document addressing all your concerns, and send it to you at least one day before our session. That way, you'll have time to read it in advance. It's usually 6 - 12 pages long. Then, I'll have all sorts of props and models to show you during the consultation, and we'll make great headway. You'll understand everything and have all the options tailored specifically to YOU.

Interesting video, Dr. Barbie, thank you for sharing ;) I noticed in your yoga video and gym video, that your mid section is quite firm, no 'menopause belly'. I am early menopause at 42, on birth control as hrt. I am 5'7 112 lbs. I gained 2 pounds on birth control (since I started in April), not sure if it is fat or just water weight? But, it has gone right to my belly and sides, like a little spare tire, it looks horrible to me because I am slender (ballerina body-type). Any suggestions? Should I just exercise more, burn more calories and focus on ab work? I am a healthy and light eater. It's so frustrating, people don't understand and think I am exaggerating, but it is visible to me and drives me crazy. You state that you went into early menopause at 34, did you have this issue? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Happy October xox

Menopause causes your metabolism to slow down ... waaaaay down. That alone causes you to gain weight at menopause. But that’s not all that happens. In addition to a slower metabolism, your body distributes fat differently. It packs it on in your midline ... in your abdomen. Even women who are not overweight will tell you that their waist isn’t as small as it used to be. That hourglass figure becomes boxy or you get the little side bulges you've described here. (I have them too.) And your fat cells produce a different kind of estrogen, called estrone, that is unhealthy. It increases your risk for heart attack. So, there are many forces working against that girly figure once you become post-menopausal. Now for exercise: It takes much more to accomplish the same goals ... at a time when you’re more fatigued & more likely to hurt yourself. Just knowing this can make a huge difference in your expectations & approach. You should do ab exercise, but not the typical crunches. I'll be giving you various exercise videos throughout this series. And now for your diet: One of the biggest mistakes is dieting. You should eat more frequently not less frequently. And, of course, it’s the perfect time to adopt a cleaner, healthier way of eating. Your body is very smart. Its goal is survival. So, it adjusts your metabolism to accommodate how often you feed yourself. If you eat frequently, your body gobbles up the food because it knows it will get fed again soon. That constitutes a fast metabolism. Eat breakfast! I can't tell you how many women LOSE weight simply by eating breakfast. Unfortunately, the vast majority skip breakfast. If you don't eat frequently, your body holds onto as much as it can as fat because it doesn't know when it will get fed again. That constitutes a slow metabolism. Fasting makes absolutely no sense at all. All it does is slow down your metabolism. That's the opposite of what you want. No diet that has a beginning and an end will do any good. The effects will be temporary ... just like the diet itself. The best thing you can do is to adopt eating habits that you can maintain forever. And now to address weight gain on birth control or HRT: The weight gain issue is one of the biggest misconceptions about menopause. Think about it: All the years of your reproductive life, when you still have estrogen on board, you don't have a weight problem. But when you LOSE your estrogen, you gain weight. So, it's the loss of estrogen that is to blame. It's Mother Nature's fault. And it happens because loss of estrogen slows down your metabolism and causes you to deposit fat in your belly area. All the years of your reproductive life you had "bloating" due to temporary water weight that was a result of fluctuating hormones, most significant just before your period started. Birth control pills can put only about 2 pounds on you. And it's water weight. Don't confuse bloating with weight gain. Your hormones cannot make you gain weight. Menopause itself can (and does). Women make the grave mistake of deciding to quit birth control or HRT because they blame it for their weight gain. It's completely backward. Replacing hormones will help you avoid weight gain, not contribute to it.

@Menopause Taylor Thank you so much for your quick and detailed response. It is very much appreciated. You should be very proud of yourself for the work you are doing, you are really helping a lot of women. I am so grateful I stumbled upon your videos, the knowledge I have gained is terrific. At my last visit with my menopause specialist, she asked me if I was in medical school because of all the information I was saying to her, she couldn't believe I knew the term 'estrogen window' . I am getting all my friends a copy of your book for Christmas...knowledge is power :))

[@MenopauseTaylor]

This is fantastic! You see? When you get this education, doctors LOVE working with you. It makes their job so much easier. I will all women would get this education in their 30s.

[@agnesjuhasz7715]

You have the most beautiful smile I have ever seen on a woman, Dr. Taylor! Thank You for your time and knowledge you give us here on youtube.

Do you have Marfan's? just curious due to your arm span. I have the same problem with very long arms and legs and short body....they thought i had Marfan's but instead labeled it Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. thank you so much for your videos. My mom died early and I have no one to ask about perimenopause or what to do. My child is having problems her hormones are out of balance but your videos even help us

[@beatricemarshall3524]

Hi Barbie,I haven't had a period in nine months and having lots of anxiety. I'm 56. Am I post menopausal?

[@melissac4720]

How do you feel about drinking soy milk? Is it helpful or harmful during perinmenopause

[@yvettebennett6170]

Thank you for sharing your personal life with us. The women in your life are truly blessed to have you in their life as a friend. I could just sit and talk to you for hours. You are such a beautiful person inside and out.

[@shannonlynnmomof3]

Progesterone question, my mom and aunts and you all have had surgical menopause, my family members have taken estrogen therapy and you say you also and no progesterone? This turns the alternative and complimentary field upside down since they shout all women need progesterone, uterus or not. They also as you know profess a whole list of ailments caused by estrogen dominance. But all the women that I know having surgical menopause do know progesterone and are happy and have none of the proposed ailments. What’s up with such contradictory treatments? I’m leaning toward your way, it seems the most logical and makes the most sense.

[@DynamicBailey]

What a beautiful lady. Thank you so so much for being here and helping us ladies💖

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are so welcome. This is my passion.

[@DynamicBailey]

Menopause Taylor it’s so clear that it is. You radiate such joy in your videos🌸

[@MenopauseTaylor]

@@DynamicBailey Well, thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my passion.

[@dianeboross6978]

Love your clothes and style, and how they look on you. I would call it Retro-Victorian; old, yet with a contemporary twist. The pinks, blues and reds look especially lovely with your blue eyes, light skin and feminine black curls. What's obvious is you have an exceptional metabolism - enviable. Thank you for sharing you with us.

[@phyld6491]

You are a very talented woman.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

In some areas, I do well. In others, I'm a disaster.

[@kristinLB]

I had surgical menopause and went two years with no hormones. Then I got on bio identicals, but I have to stop taking them for a couple months because I can’t afford the visits and medications right now. I’m worried how that will affect me.

[@EveningTV]

I'm loving your channel. Thank you You quickly brushed over something at the beginning of this video that as a youTuber myself caused my ears to perk up. You said, "The KZbin staff I work with is a bunch of women in their 20's and 30's" . I am curious about this as I lost my assistant last year and have found it impossible to keep up with social media and other stuff without her. I am like you in that I am also an introvert and had no social media prior to starting my channel. I'd love to hire some help like it sounds like you found. I am very excited to see so many older women finding success on KZbin. 💕

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Yes, I just don't understand this whole social media way of doing things. I'm sure any young person could help you, but if you want professionals, the company with whom I work is Kubis Interactive. The phone number is 713 275 1007. Ask for Georgeta.

[@EveningTV]

@@MenopauseTaylor Thank you so much for the tip!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You're absolutely welcome. You'll love Kubis.

[@geniusnature4693]

I 've cone back and watch this video... What a remarkable person you are!

[@elizabethparkhurst2824]

I’m gathering my paperwork now. So looking forward to booking a consultation with you. I need your expertise to help me fix my menopause situation. You are so well educated! Your hours of studies and education shines through in a way to the laywoman that we can UNDERSTAND!!!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Well, I look very forward to meeting you and helping you, Elizabeth. And thank you for your kind compliment.

[@EdwinaRamsey]

You are beautiful inside and out! I just love the way you teach menopause, and you are the best! I always thought about taking estrogen but I heard all the bad stuff about it. Somehow I stumbled across your videos and got a better understanding of my female parts. I had surgery in 2020, I had my uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries removed and have been suffering ever since. After hearing you, I'm going to take estrogen! Thanks for all that you do!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are so very welcome, my dear. Don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor,ME if you want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU. I do them all online.

[@anavelez4326]

Wow ... I want to thank you for sharing your life ... I love your videos your are the best at what you doooooo ... thanks for helping me deal with all this changes in my life !

[@corrine4445]

Thanks for sharing in this Q&A Barbie. May I ask how much estrogen you are on if calculating by 50mcg patches? Kind regards.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You should never care what any other woman is taking. All that matters is what's right FOR YOU. This is where tailoring comes in. The biggest mistake you can make is to copy anybody else. If you want me to help you find YOUR prefect dosage, I can do so in a consultation. This is YOUR menopause YOUR way. Not YOUR menopause MY way.
