Again... another extremely accurate much needed informative video! I'm a provider (nurse practitioner) in wound care and have a passion for dermatology and aesthetics. Dr Kappel is by far the most knowledgeable, most accurate, most cutting edge results oriented MD I have come across. I travel to see her and the results are incredible. Her expertise is unparallel. Thank you so much for your time and talent Dr Kappel. I hope you know how many people you help!

[@DrStefaniKappel]

Thank you so much!!

[@loribrooks5596]

Hormonal lab work is merely a snapshot of that exact moment. The fluctuations in hormonal levels during peri happen constantly and thus quite unreliable in terms of making a solid determination. I believe ovarian reserve labs are fairly accurate, but estrogen/progesterone levels are constantly changing- especially during peri. GREAT VIDEO, as usual!!

[@blueseptember2174]

How does one get ovarian reserve lab?

[@skiesthelimit1336]

⁠@@blueseptember2174Yes please tell us. Do we just to our Dr. we want an ovarian reserve lab?

Thank you, I am 62,have been on HRT for 10 years, it does work. I also made big changes to my food choices, eliminated sugar and changed my workouts. I focus on heavy lifting and zone 2 cardio, and yes my photo is a recent one. after these changes, also eat more protein, I lost 25 lbs and am down 2dress sizes

[@SirenASMR_]

This ! My diet and exercise was and is perfect but once I hit menopause my thyroid crapped out . Bio identicals and thyroid is essential

[@src4409]

High protein made it impossible for me to lose fat at 37-39

[@duchessdelarue5983]

When you lost weight did you notice sagging skin on your body? I have noticed it on my belly especially and I’m not post menopausal yet but getting close (I’m over 50). This past year I noticed after a 10 lb weight loss the skin on my belly and arms got some sag and wrinkles even though I also do weightlifting. I’m looking into HRT now.

[@VaillancourtLJ]

I can't believe you have no filler! I'm 40 and I get laser treatments and other procedures but nothing made my under eye are re-plump, so I finally got filler. I'm impressed that your 7 years older, have no filler and your under eye area is so plump.

Im peri menopausal and I’ve aged so much since turning 50 it’s like a program. Im all for Botox /fillers and beauty treatments but my partner hates it and makes it difficult for me he calls it vanity. I call it looking after me! 💜

[@DrStefaniKappel]

I see this everyday in my office and try to help women thru this. It’s hard enuf being a women and going thru these changes but when our loved ones and husbands don’t support us in doing things to make us look and feel better it’s even harder. I understand when husbands are afraid of their wife’s looking overdone with too much filler and that is a true concern. but doing things like lasers or using advanced skincare to make skin look and feel healthier should be supported.

At 46 I can’t say enough good things about Sculptra. I have been doing tox for years and started noticing hollowness throughout my face. Started Sculptra in Oct of 2022. The best thing I’ve ever done! I didn’t want to go the filler route because of studies coming out about it staying in your face for so long (and I actually work in aesthetics).

[@BLE000]

It's undeniable! At 48, I noticed a significant change in my under-eye skin over just 4 months. Other than that, no real skin changes yet. I did undergo Thermage in my mid-30s, and now will have it again, alongside some Fraxel treatments. Grateful for the valuable insights!

Yes, our skin changes during menopause, but I'm also having issues with my hair. Between "the crown 🦠" and menopause, my baby fine hair is thinning like nobody's business! 😞 It's vain I know, but it almost makes me cry.

[@Vmb256]

That’s not vain at all. It’s normal to worry about appearance and it’s okay to do so. I’ve always felt that my hair style can make or break my confidence on any given day. And it’s an amazing feeling when I have a great hair day. There seems to be a lot of new products out there for thinning hair. Definitely talk to your dermatologist.

The last thing you said is so true! I’ve always looked younger. Got married at 20. Had kids right away. When I turned 26 some women would tell me: wait till you’re 28 everything goes downhill and then I turn 35 and still looked great and they were like wait until you’re 38-40 you’re gonna wake up one day and look old. I am 44 now have 2 adult kids, one teen, and a 6 year old and get told I look so young (I’m no longer around the women who kept prophesying doom and gloom to me Lol) But I feel like they’re eagerly watching me to see when I go down 😂 I am worried about menopause though so thanks for this video, I just discovered you and will watch your other videos.

I just turned 39 and honestly I‘m so depressed about my age. I JUST left my doormat era where all I cared about was having a boyfriend and where I allowed others to treat me like crap. And then I wake up and suddenly I am considered old, weird because I am single, it’s just all downhill from here. Soon enough I’ll have to work on my hormones, I look old and wasted my young years on being insecure. It’s tough. At least now I have the money to get something done but I don’t even know where to start 😞

You left your doormat stage, that's something to celebrate! Being with a man isn't a goal, gaining confidence and knowing your worth is. We as women need to realize there are more pros with becoming older than what society tells us. Keep on working on yourself, life is a work in progress.

Hello! I wanted to reach out to you. I’m also single and in my late 30s (how did this happen?!).

If you need a mindset shift, I highly recommend her content.

I lost my Butt of all things and gained slightly more fatty tissue on back of arms. Till now I've been t heard of Kybellor till joing this Channel And determined to give it a try wow!!❤ I saw menopause as a loss, I was) am lucky as was in a situation where I could have lasers skin care products, filler Botox. I continued on with Retinol only once a week with a trentinoion. Increased intake of colligan. This is key also Dr Stefani, commented on and takes vital protein collagen. I brought this and W❤W So much improvement to, skin, your entire body seems to be joints also as menopause can upset our bones.

Thank you for the valuable information. Please do a video on face and neck lifts. I am 54 years old, perimenopausal and my skin is in excellent shape because I sleep enough, I have done lasers since 2019 and I use prescription tretinoin since 2021 and OTC retinol before that.

Like anything in life it goes to limited beliefs.. My mother went through a meno without problems still youthful fit and beautiful even at age 64 youthful and healthy.. I do believe that women are created to go through that with ease and no changes no challenges.. At age 80 still can look young and beautiful fit and toned.. Because i know i will

[@CocoD-k4i]

Please, which micro pill do you use? I know it depends on the Body. But I am interested to read about it. Thank you

[@tonyameikle2772]

Thank you so much I've learned so much from you not only are you beautiful but you're smart too! ❤️

[@traceyboswell]

I am so glad I found you. I have been following all of your KZbin videos and also on Instagram you’re so informative you have direct straight truthful information that’s totally applicable to all women, and so helpful. Specially, for me who is struggling with festoons even after a lower blood or plasty, I know I need to get laser therapy and still trying to decide which one but I think maybe I just need to fly out there and see you as my provider.!! :)

[@Kat-sf4tv]

Menopause changed everything about my body, face and skin. Body fat from no where and never thought about HRT? I’m even sure what it does. X

[@jessicahitchens6926]

Educate yourself

[@wi-shel22]

Amazing information and I appreciate the delivery style, you're amazing. How do you feel about collagen supplements or collagen stimulating supplements and do you recommend any certain ones?

[@jcthompson1194]

I am surprised you didn’t mention sculptra. I know you have spoken about it in the past, but I thought sculptra was one of the best things for menopausal changes

[@vasilissa0121]

Dr. Stephanie, please do a video on facelifts, fat grafting and surgeons. Love your educational videos!❤

[@kimdavis1091]

Thank you dr Steph so much for addressing us post menopausal beauties & our skin needs

[@DrStefaniKappel]

You are so welcome!

[@larayne]

Yes, please, a video on facelifts! ❤

[@rachaellesh3952]

Love you Dr. Stefani! Thank you so much for educating me.

[@juajamful]

Your videos are fantastic and informative. I have a cosmetic medicine clinic in New Zealand and have been practicing for 20 plus years , I love the way you break things down and deliver your information. Thank you for your fun information videos.

[@paolavergara5302]

Thank you so much Dr Kappel! so is there not a collagen supplement or powder that would make a difference in your body and skin, or is that all hype?

[@fabby5823]

Thank you for this video. i have been watching your videos for a long time and you always give helpful information. I used to do fillers and sculptra during my 40s and it helped. Also botox which I still do at times. When at hit 54 there was definitely a change. My skin became drier and started to notice laxity in my jawline.I can't take estrogen due to family history of breast cancer. I started back on tretinoin which hopefully helps with collagen. I am now 59 and it seems like the collagen loss has leveled off a bit. Please do a video on facelifts if you can. That would be very helpful also. Thank you!

[@conniekeyse]

Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. 💜

[@Kona_Blue]

[@InfusedAlchemy]

Hey Stefani, just wondering the names of your tretinoin videos. I can’t find them. Thanks xxxx

[@SS-wg7nh]

Thank you for this video, I was cheering through the end like I was watching sports 😂 preach it sister!

[@Irina-Sunday]

Hi beautiful, I would be so grateful if you happen to have a recommendation for practitioners/clinics in Sydney for skin tightening (thermage and/or fraxel), I've had a few bad experiences and I have trust issues 😢 Thank you for the content you create! x

[@elainelaguna3132]

Be careful with thermage and other radio frequency devices can cause facial fat loss 😢

[@kls6612]

Excellent video Dr. K!! Thank you so much❤

[@ponce0331]

what do you think of hormone replacement therapy? and is there supplements you can take to help stabilize them?

[@DrStefaniKappel]

I discuss it later in this video ❤️❤️

[@NayNay-sg2ou]

I found Dr. Claire Haven on KZbin regarding legit Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Get on Estradiol patches asap.

[@ninimimi2906]
