Regain Your Health After 40+ | Hormones, Menopause, Weight & Mental Health with Menopause Taylor

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I applaud you, Dominique, for caring about women so much. I always love it when I can join forces with another passionate person and give women more of what they deserve. Thank you so much for having me as a guest on your channel, and for being my dear, beautiful friend.

[@dominiquesachsetv]

Thank YOU for being such an amazing resource for women everywhere! I'm sure this video will help so many women.

[@helenurwin1508]

I Thank you for your supremely common sense attitude - I went through menopause @ 28 after having a hysterechtomy (sp!) no-one, not one Doctor male or female, took the time to explain a thing to me about ANYTHING! I was prescribed HRT & basically shoved out of the door to get on with it myself!!

[@chris2x444]

After watching this, I feel like you both just saved my life! I am 53 years old and am in menopause (for about a year and a half). I had a physical last year and when I brought up my menopausal situation, there was literally no conversation/education about what I should be doing. I have a female doctor who is very bright, but Barbara is right, doctors are not educated in menopause. Today I begin my self education! Thank you, Dominique and Barbara!

I'm living in a hormone deficient state and that's Florida. Actually had a doctor ask me why would I want more libido, have more energy and have resilient skin and hair since I'm over 50? He said that's nature's way and that i need to learn to embrace it and realize those things are gone forever. Never went back and went to look for a more "enlightened " doctor.

WOW. I feel so angry on your behalf! It is bad enough that any person would feel the need to say that to another person, let alone a doctor to a patient. As for saying it to a menopausal woman, looking to balance her hormones ... in my experience he’s brave (but stupid) man🤣

Such valuable advice here. This should be shown to every 40+ woman. I’m 39 and this has prepared me tremendously.I don’t need to fear menopause.

[@annebrower3241]

Ladies - I cannot tell you how helpful this was. I have started experiencing peri menopausal symptoms this past year and felt lost and bewildered. Now I know where to go to educate myself. Further, I no longer feel alone and like I’m facing the death of something. Now, I feel like I can lean into a new and potentially beautiful phase of my life. Thank you both!

[@kathyr4132]

I was told to just deal with hot flashes and anxiety by a doctor. I then found a PA whose specialty is menopause. She sat, listened, and educated me HRT. She noticed an issue with precious blood work and is helping me with that. I’m so glad I found someone interested in helping me.

Womens healthcare in America is ATROCIOUS. Menstruation is treated like a disease, pregnancy is treated like a disease, and menapause is treated like a disease. Dr. Taylor is an angel on earth. What a beautiful soul. She is a real life super hero.

[@patriciamcpherson4667]

I've been on hormone replacement since mid-40s and I'm 78 now and still on hormone replacement. So any of these doctors say you don't need it we're not taught that in medical school. I'm so tired of hearing that. Florida being the worst. I've lived in Tennessee and Louisiana and I have very good doctors that gave me hormone replacement. I moved to Florida and there's very few doctors and if you find one they don't take insurance and charge you a fortune.

Im 41 and have had severe PMDD since age 11 and been on birth control my entire life up until 5 years ago when I had my son. I’m worried about menopause because I’ve had so many problems my entire life with hormones. I’m glad to have resources like these.

[@Michelle-mz3jb]

For me too

[@Bemusedbeyondbelief]

My mum was offered HRT but refused the offer due to the bad press surrounding it. She went on to develop osteoporosis, had bouts of depression, developed bladder issues and dementia which affected her ability to live fully and actively post menopause. She is no longer with us, and we will never know if HRT would have changed any of that, but I can’t help feeling if she had taken it she could have saved herself from a lots of those issues for many more years.

[@julenelauro4308]

Took estrogen for two years after menopause started and felt great! Doctor took me off and I plummeted! I’m now 58 and doctor will not give me hormone replacement since my mom had breast cancer. I will have to find another doctor. Thank you for this wonderful video! ❤️

[@nancymall6131]

You are so right that doctor's discourage you from taking hormones. I had to go to 3 doctors before one listened to me. She said her mother was on them till she died of natural causes at 93. I now feel so much better, more energy, better sleep, skin texture.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Dominique and Dr. Barbie! I’ve been watching Barbie’s KZbin channel for a couple of years now (after seeing her on Dominique’s channel) and I am addicted. She has taught me so much I can’t even tell you. I will be forever grateful for her generosity and education. I’ve been on HRT for about a year and a half now and I truly feel I have my life back. I was so miserable with my symptoms, but with Barbie’s teachings, I also learned that losing our estrogen goes way beyond just the symptoms. It’s so important for all of us to understand the long-term consequences as well. She literally changed my life! Thank you both!! ♥️

[@melodielumley6450]

This is just so lovely. I have never felt better in anyone's (virtual) hands more than Dr Taylor. Women deserve better, I deserve better, I want to be the best version of the new Post Menopausal me. Thankful that Dr Taylor is willing to share herself with us (me) with a subject that is just so massive in it's nature, that can and will constantly change - and someone that doesn't think we ( I ) am crazy. Most women I know are silent about it, they don't want to speak of it and pretend they are "just fine" never a single symptom to be had. Dr Taylor has given me a voice, a choice and a mission. I take being her student seriously and with gratitude.

[@fabianapimentel6114]

I started to follow Dr Taylor becouse of an interview you did sometime ago. It was so great, I was able to start manage my health, I am not yet menopausal but the sooner the better.

Dominique you have given us so many OUTSTANDING interviews with qualified experts, we have you to thenk. As a postmenopausal woman, your dear friend has truly opened my eyes about what to be concerned about going forward in my 64, soon to be 65 year old life. OUTSTANDING OUTSTANDING. You deserve an award for that interview. Thank you. No other specialist in the field of mid-life health management for women has ever educated me in such a manner. I appreciate all your efforts for obtaining experts of the highest caliber and making this happen for all your viewers.

Besides that though...on the up side.. I've lost weight, I've improved my diet...i am starting yoga myself, but I was confused by higher triglycerides...slightly higher blood pressure...things that did not seem to coincide with my new healthy life. After I left the doctor's office...i had a hankering to get a nice vegan lunch and happened to find a little store that sold puzzles as I was beginning to feel like I needed some challenging. Probably all while this video was uploading. I will get to Dr. Taylor's channel asap. GOD BLESS YOU and her; I finally got some education and sanity 💜

I went through menopause early, age 45, I was fortunate enough to have a doctor put me in HRT right away. I felt like a new woman!

[@cindyvito1692]

I found the absolute best doctor i have seen. She is a menopause specialist and her practice is totally for pre/post and peri menopause women. She spent 1 hour and 20 minutes at my first visit. We sat at a round table facing me and listened intently at what I said. She ask me to tell her my whole journey. All my HRT was crazy bad that the other doctors gave me which is why I always felt terrible. My doctor got my HRT right where it needed to be. I feel so much better!!! My doctor is in WV and I am moving to Florida in a few months and plan to fly to WV to see my menopause doctor. I do not want to waste one minute trying to find a new doctor that I have to start all over with and go trial and error. I do not want anyone who is going to try to change my HRT regimen.

Hi Dominique, I'm a little late in commenting on this video. I have probably been following your channel for a couple years now, but this video has been the most consequential. I am 48 years old and have wanted to prepare myself for what's ahead. Thank you for bringing Menopause Taylor to us. There are so many things I didn't know, that aren't discussed or have been considered taboo (such as HRT) and I now feel equipped to ask the questions that will make me a participant in this process instead of a victim. Rarely do you hear empowered and menopause in the same sentence, but that is how I feel. Thanks to you both!

Dr. Taylor is a Godsend! I started following her last year thanks to you, and have since read her book, watched her videos (yes ma’am, in order!) and spread the word about her to my friends.

There’s a study that HRT with calcium can cause heart attacks. Just FYI. The research is fairly new and they don’t know how much calcium causes the increase in attacks. I’m on calcium and HRT. I was told if you have osteopenia you’ll be put on prescription calcium supplements (bone drugs?) when your DEXA scan shows a certain drop within so many years. I’m fighting all the way. I exercise and take the supplements. I also switched my calcium supplement after reading about them and getting my last scan. I still had osteopenia compared to my peers. This despite exercise, HRT, and calcium. I switched to a calcium gummy. I think is the triphosporous one. Anyway there’re three different calciums available OTC. So I don’t know which one is linked to increased heart attacks. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t!

I have Uterine Cancer and this does progress with excessive estrogen. In order to treat the cancer, you need to have a uterine lining which is thinned by progesterone. So estrogen can be a problem, but it depends on what your hormonal issues are. I feel much more relaxed and less anxious when I balance my estrogen with natural herbs that stimulate progesterone. And I have been cancer free now for 4 years with a local IUD that releases progesterone and when taking Chasteberry Extract (an herb that stimulates release of progesterone).

[@deloisogbeide3207]

It's that prejudicial double standard. Most men who are taking Viagra engage with women.

[@lindahenderson5339]

My insurance does. Medicare does. May not cover everything, but they do cover some.

[@vickinparadox]

@@lindahenderson5339 Mine does not pay for bio-identical creams at all. And you have to test below what the norm is for say a 50 year old, but they have not taken into consideration that level that they have set for "normal" is far below what is optimum. And if you are menopausal and low then the testing will say "well that is normal for a menopausal woman and you dont need to have higher level of estrogen and you are suppose to be low at this stage" the system is rigged to not recognize what we truly need in order to feel our best and for prevention.

My estradiol and micronized progesterone are covered as generic Rx under my formulary. Fight your Gyn to prescribe it for you.

Also, Viagra is not a hormone.

Thank you this was fantastic! I started watching her videos recently from you mentioning her! Hugs from Vermont.

I was on HRT for 10 yrs. then went off. Why? I don't know. But after watching this I'll schedule an appt. with my gyno because I want HRT back! Thank you for having this video w/Menopause Barbie.❤️

[@KAZHE63]

Do it! I got back on after being off for a year!

Im 44 and have started hrt (plant-based) to start with Suddenly had hotflashes 10-15 times a day, no sleep etc. I Will do anything to feel good and have a fuctional life at this Young age. Thank you for all your information ❤️☀️

[@V.Hansen.]

I just started having hot flashes this month. I’m desperate for anything to help until I can get in to see a specialist. Did anything help? Did you eventually seek prescription estradiol?

[@Linalooo32]

@@V.Hansen. No nothing helped, I had to wait to get my patches from a gynecologist, sorry, no plan based thing worked form me Im afraid :(

[@pinkfrangipani5131]

Wow. This was sooo incredibly informative. I had no idea that our cholesterol could increase due to a lack of oestrogen. I feel so enlightened and better educated. I think I will have to listen another time. Now I am off to start learning a new language. Lots of love from sunny Sydney, Australia.

[@mariammejia2380]

Dominique, thank you so much for bringing Barbie on!! What a WEALTH of information! God bless you...

[@dominiquesachsetv]

You are so welcome!

[@patwhite2260]

Dominique, really, thank you so much for clueing us in on Menopause Barbie. When I first heard your recommendation, I started watching Dr. Taylor’s KZbin channel - one a day from the beginning until I caught up. I have even had a one-on-one consultation with her. I feel it has “saved my life”. Now I know what’s going on with my body and have a path forward. You two ladies are such a blessing!

[@kathiehernandez642]

I’m literally in tears 😭 This video nailed it. I applaud you 👏🏼 for sharing it with us. Everything you both talked about is exactly what I am going thru. So much information I learned. I need to find a new doctor 👩‍⚕️. Thank you for this video Dominique.🙏 I am crying 😭 happy tears!🙋🏻‍♀️

[@dominiquesachsetv]

So glad it was helpful! We all deserve the best!

[@a.s.r.3661]

Thank you for the goodness and kindness you bring to us! You two are the most important ladies for me on the entire social media. You are my Goddesses! God bless YOU!

[@katiem1017]

Well…this was meant for me. I am now officially “scratching the surface” and feel super empowered. Thanks so much, to both of you, for this informative lesson!!

[@Michelle-mz3jb]

I love both these ladies for their compassion

[@victoriaaustin2468]

This information is extraordinarily brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing this wealth of information and encouragement regarding female issues. I'm ready to delve more into working on my personal hormone and female issues now instead of just giving up. Thank you so very much, Dominique and Taylor for taking the time to put this video together for us! Anyone else notice all the hormone and female advertising during this video? Incredible!

[@catalinaherrera2870]

Thank you beautiful ladies! So appreciative of you both. Learned so much. I wish I would of known of this earlier to help my mom. Yes, Dr. Barbie dance is difficult. I’ve been studying Flamenco for 10 years and still find it challenging. But I love it!

[@deputycar54]

Thank you so much for this education. I'm 58 and have a small group of gal pals that I'm sharing this with right now! We ALL need this education and advice so desperately.

[@glittergirl_84]

Thank you Dominique! Thank you Barbie!! I’m telling all of my girlfriends and my sister to watch this!🙏❤️🤦‍♀️😵‍💫

[@petraduplessis432]

Menopause Barbie changed my life. 😊 2020 in lockdown in South Africa I came across Barbie Taylors KZbin channel. I will forever be grateful. Thank you 😘

[@Chris-hr3fc]

I’ve watched Dr. Barbie and she said there is a ten year time frame after your last period to take estrogen. In this video she says the time really doesn’t matter. Has they changed?

[@crh251]

Chris, I think it just depends. I remember that time frame too. I think because every woman is different, she needs to find someone to work with in regards to what will work for her. I’ve heard of women going on HRT in their 80’s. I think the ideal time is the ten years range, but there must be exceptions to the rule. I’m not a doctor so that’s just my opinion. I’m 57 and am post menopausal. My last period was in 2015 so I’m still in the ten year window and am seeing someone next week in regards to HRT.

[@Chris-hr3fc]

@@crh251 that is great! I’m on BHRT but for the past 3 years my labs have read

[@reneebartos574]

Women , medically, really need to be treated on a Female basis beginning with the onset of puberty, including medications, prescription amounts, hormone levels, etc. and continued throughout each individual's lifespan. A woman's body is so different, intricate and much more complicated when compared to men. Thank you for sharing Dr. Barbara's medical menopausal with us today. Knowledge is Power !!

[@theflossi56]

When I went through menopause at 50 I was never sure of some of the symptoms were of that or from having ms. The hot flashes were hard to take my spine was on fire as an example. Great info

[@da_boi2]

This was so fascinating!! I have never learned what is exactly happening in my body, to my organs, since I hit menopause. Thank you so much for this information. Everything I've been experiencing really makes so much more sense now. I'm determined to exercise my brain more, too. I enjoy doing crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, but I find I spend too much time on my phone because I want an answer NOW!!! I have made a goal to reduce my phone time and increase activities for the brain. This information also helped explain what has been happening to my mom and her heart and arteries and why. Thank you again. Keep it comin'!
