Relief for Hot Flashes | The Exam Room

[@pennyc.638]

My Chiropractor told me, “When you go through menopause, take Vitamin E and you won’t have any hot flashes”. “ Take one, if that doesn’t work , take two and if that doesn’t work, take 3”.” When menopause hit me, I took Vitamin E and NEVER had any hot flashes. I also learned Muscle testing (Cntact Reflex Analysis) which I used to regulate the amount. A bonus, with the Vitamin E, was that it helped with my prolapsed uterus (six pregnancies didn’t help)! I was amazed and beyond happy. After menopause, I take Vitamin E and it pulls that Uterus right up! I still have all my organs as a pensioner- no operations required. So grateful for that simple ‘Vitamin E! A lot of those foods they are talking about in this video have Vitamin E in them. God bless ladies, wishing you the best in your quest. I know for some ladies it can be real bad. My friend said that she felt like killing herself-that is pretty bad! Vit. E, a simple answer!

I had severe menopausal symptoms or perimenopausal symptoms, profuse, sweating, high anxiety, hot flashes that would sometimes last an hour night sweats so bad I seriously just wanted to off myself. I was so tired of it. I started the carnivore diet for inflammation of my lower back really and I noticed very quickly within a couple of weeks. I was no longer suffering any of those menopausal symptoms. In fact, carnivore took 98% of my health issues away within the first three months I know I still have a hernia, but you know what it doesn’t hurt so I don’t have to do anything about it, also have a rotator cuff tear, but it doesn’t hurt anymore. my arthritis is gone. My dry eye is gone. Carnivore is a lifesaver.

I eat a WFPB vegan diet and eat tofu fairly often. I learned on my own awhile ago that if I don't have tofu for a few days, I will have hot flashes or night sweats. As long as I eat it regularly I am symptom free. I have been telling my friends about this and they don't seem to to believe it...well, now I can show them this study!

Oh my goodness! When I first went WFPB 2 months ago, I was eating tofu/tempeh regularly (a couple of times a week at least), eating a lot of raw greens/veggies, and my hot flashes went away almost immediately. I never get the sweats - it's more like standing too close to the fire and dry heat under my skin. This month, hot flashes are back - I'm eating zero soy-based products! Amazing. I never thought of this till your message. I better get back to my tofu/tempeh.

I have been a low fat vegan for several years and was struggling with hot flashes. I tried low dose antidepressants on the advice of my gynecologist and that helped a little but… not enough. I started adding 1/2 cup of soybeans to my daily diet about 5 weeks ago and can say that the hot flashes have reduced a lot!! I would estimate they are down 80%. Thanks!

Important Note: They are NOT using American soybeans. They are using non-GMO soybeans grown abroad. So if you think you can go to the supermarket to duplicate this recipe and Betty's results, you will be disappointed. Dr Barnard later says at minute marker 12:01 that previous studies with soybeans do not achieve these results, because they are not using the special non-American, non-GMO soybeans. If you go out and buy soybeans at the supermarket, you may not get the same results.

The women in my family usually have hot flashes for 7 or 8 years. I just thought my hot flashes were finally tapering off after five years of suffering through them (I refused to take the meds), but now I see why. Two years ago, I gave up all animal products except eggs and occasional poultry. A little over a year ago, I went entirely plant based at 61 years old and it was just three or four months ago that I realized I hadn't had a serious hot flash in a very long time. I should have known! :) Maybe I'll try the full vegan AND daily soy beans idea to stop even the light, occasional hot flash.

Hi all, I’m 33 & have been suffering with severe hot flashes daily. To the extent I have to change a T-shirt every night, to the extent I even stopped wearing anything apart from my underwear, but it hasn’t stopped the hot flashes. I do have 2 children & I feel no one understands. I also feel embarrassed to talk to turn to someone to talk to. This feels like a safe space to start. I can’t find anything for women in my age rage who get hot flashes🤷🏻‍♀️ can any of you lovely people help me out here. As it’s so hard that I have to even sleep in towels to make it easier. As I don’t have to change my bedding at ridiculous hours of early morning or get the hairdryer out to dry the duvet as it’s easier when I’am half asleep. I just change the towel, pillow case, go to the bathroom take my underwear off & wipe myself dry. Change into another pair of clean dry underwear, spray my pits (because I feel yuk, even though it doesn’t smell at all) I don’t know what to do 🥺 I did mention it once when I had a hospital admission when I had a laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) to remove scar tissue. They just fobbed me off totally by saying, “hmmm sure it’s nothing to worry about, your very young” that was it & nothing further & didn’t ask me even 1 question. So that made me feel soo embarrassed & this is first time I’ve found courage to share with people in hope anyone can help me. Please don’t send me hate messages, I’am really scared I’ll start getting nasty messages 🥺 thank you in advance.

Sprayed my body with 100% pure rose water mist. because I feel yuk (I found doing this mentally makes me feel less yuk) So it’s something I’ve found recently that helps mentally. It’s mind boggling, body can let off so much fluid all over & it’s nothing like sweat. Then I put another fresh towel down on my bed, changed my pillow case. Then put fresh underwear on, as the mist is dried by then. Before I went through this I thought, gosh hot flashes sound awful & that it was sweat that can smell, but it doesn’t. I wish there was more info out there generally & I’ll be honest I did cry when I found there’s not much info for my age & knowing when I did find the courage to talk to the doc they just fobbed me off.

I've been eating a lot of almonds, peanuts, lentils, chickpeas, a variety of vegatables, with perhaps too much oil based Ken's Steakhouse salad dressing. How much vegan oil should I consume? I am a 5-2 woman of 153 pounds. I have also been eating a lot of triscuts which have oil. I had to go on salt tablets because of not enough salt in my diet. I used to be able to buy soy nuts at the Stop and Shop in CT.........I moved to Clermont, Florida (west of Disney) Now I can not find soy beans or "soy nuts" at the grocery stores around here.

Are the non-GMO soybeans safe to consume for breast cancer survivors whose tumor was estrogen and progesterone receptive?

[@donnagroven3345]

No not safe for anyone actually

[@ksj1980]

can anyone tell what all we need to eat on daily basis to reduce hot flashes

[@MoonMoth-e2h]

Sounds interesting!. I do not want to lose weight.… And I do not take B vitamins because they keep me awake at night. Right now I’m taking bio identical hormone replacement therapy because my sleep and night sweats are very bad. I have been menopausal for 10 years now.

[@VagabondMango]

Being severely autoimmune, I’m able to control my muscle disease on the autoimmune protocol diet which is basically meat. Soy is forbidden. And it got me out of a wheelchair! But my hot flashes are every hour and are debilitating! No break at all, happening for going on ten years! So I don’t want to give up my autoimmune victory to go vegan, but I don’t know the answer.

[@jenns_artlandia7896]

Likewise! I don't know what to do. My hot flashes are awful! I have hereditary autoimmune disorder. Can't consume any soy. :(

[@laurapeery7189]

@bonnieinthespirit can you link the recipe

[@jay315cruz9]

I had a hysterectomy 20 years ago , when I was 30 . I suffer everyday with horrible hot flashes my body is boiling over , my hair and clothes are soaking wet looks like I’ve been in the shower . I never have hot flashes at night just in the day . I suffer with chronic pain and fatigue due to back problems and fibromyalgia. Once I start moving around / going into shops I am having outrageously hot flashes drives me mad and very low . I don’t go out very much due to getting the hot flashes . Definitely getting on the soya diet . Hope someone can help me PLEASE

Amazing study! Well done to all the medical team, it’s so great to have new science finds to support a vegan diet! 👏👏

maybe it was the B12 though. Did they give that to the control group?

[@marys.5050]

Dr. Barnard or Chuck, do you know if black soybeans have the same level of isoflavones as white? I've been looking for certified organic, non-gmo certified soybeans that I feel confident in buying, and found black ones from Eden. I'd love input. Thank you!

[@corinnameans3021]

Are sprouted soybeans ok?

[@secondskinfillers8709]

Do you recommend bio indentical hormones?

Im 63 and STILL suffering!!! I don't want to be on HRT..please dont tell me soy is good. I thought you said thry ate tofu..not rice?

How do you cook the soy beans in the instant pot?

[@sugarbabylove1000]

Do a KZbin search, bound to be some examples

[@LollysGarden]

Thank you!!!

[@ArtyAntics]

I’m vegan, not menopausal but have hot flushes often & still have insulin resistance so frustrated. I eat low oil, salt etc soooo frustrated

[@odelyalevy]

Take the oil altogether. It helps.

[@panes840]

Get rid of processed oils . Eat only whole food fats just enough for fat soluble vitamins to work. Cut ALL processed foods out and see how you go. Do as Dr Bernard says too. Also keep stress in check. Restorative yoga is excellent (I go to heart alchemy on you tube) and meditate. Learn to meditate. Nouridh your adrenals with yoga poses. Make sure you have all your vitamins and minerals optimal. Cleanse your liver with milk thistle. Ashwaghanda is great too add it to smoothies. Up your leafy greens LOTS I put mine in smoothies and eat a meal with them and up your omega 3s with flax and chia seeds (freshly ground) as your body needs essential fatty acids. Also eat foods that balance progesterone like pumpkin seeds. Drink lots of water like nearly a gallon and try to eat organic. Lastly get rid of endocrine disrupting chemicals in personal products and take Epsom salt baths for magnesium. Dry brushing skin before showers help lymphatic fluids get rid of toxins. Managing menopause naturally is a good FB page. This is a start! Xxx

[@bonniespruin6369]

What if you change to a vegan diet and don't eat soy beans? I'm nervous of them seeing so many videos saying not to eat them.

[@debbieryan170]

I will try some vitamin E i do feel like killing myself i can't go through this any longer. IT'S BEEN 9 YEARS of this shit.

[@pumoneynaidoo6385]

Sorry to tell most of the time I only eat veg cooked with olive oil But I get this hot flash severe feel very hot get weak an sick for about 3hours an my legs no balance please I dispret need help

[@karladoane7323]

Very interesting. Now I better understand why I didn't have a real problem with hot flashes . Didn't eat mechanical products

[@sugarbabylove1000]

I can't find whole soybeans in my village .. they sell chopped stuff for animal feed! When the heat subsides I will try to get to the city maybe I can get them there.

[@rinapaul8936]

Is there a recipe for the soybeans? Would homemade soy milk work also?

[@smudge8882]

My mom has been using soy milk and no other kind of soy, and it has indeed helped her hot flashes, although she still gets very mild ones. Maybe do soy milk along with some other source of soy? Like tofu or edamame.

[@carlosrugamas1398]

Any brand of soy milk?

[@mollynelson3672]

I am going to buy some soybeans TODAY! I already eat a low fat vegan diet, primarily WFPBNO, but have steered away from a lot of soy because they are a fattier bean, but I am desperate! Does anyone have any good low salt, no oil recipes for soy beans?

[@August-pg4zs]

Okay, but what is the effect, long term, in preventing heart disease, osteoporosis, and breast cancer...all of which goes up with hormone deficiency. With menopause and after, heart disease gets 1 out if 2 of women.

[@lindacook8819]

Have had hot flashes over 20 years

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

take two tablespoons of milled flaxseed a day and I'll tell you what it's a game changer God bless you

[@chantal8299]

Would organic 1/2 a cup of edamame beans everyday work as well?

[@sugarbabylove1000]

Interesting question, as they contain isoflavins too ...

[@sugarbabylove1000]

If u listen to the vid he gives example of a place where they eat corn and black beans, no soy, and they also were not getting hot flashes/flushes.

[@chantal8299]

There is just a new vid out (Foods for Menopauze) in which Dr Barnard explains very clearly which soybeans to use and how to cook them. He also gives a list of subsitutes for isoflavones and how much you need of each.

[@sugarbabylove1000]
