What Happens Socially At Menopause - 150 | Menopause Taylor

[@debbieann4479]

Wow, I'm 59 and feeling like I've become a selfish person and very picky about who I spend my time with and how I spend my time. Oh, yeah, and I'm not that into decorating/hosting the holidays anymore. And I know I'm not depressed (been there before) so THANK YOU for letting me off the hook!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I love it when you discover that you are entirely normal. It's just so reassuring and such a relief to be yourself.

[@deniseb2571]

Knowledge is power. This whole series is power 💪. You're the best!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Ahh, well, I think you're the best, Denise. I just love knowing how much this is helping you.

[@lyndarobinson2035]

Thank you. I am not going crazy. My youngest son was going through Puberty as l was going through menopause. I have shared this video on Facebook. We need people to talk about this more and more. Education is the key to empowering each other through this time of life. I am so happy l found you and I love your videos

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are definitely NOT going crazy. Please consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU. I do them all online.

What a great video at explaining this hormone loss.. Thank you Barbie :) xoxo

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Ahhh, my very first subscriber! I feel so honored to get a comment from you. This resonated with so many women. And most felt relieved to discover they're completely normal. I hope to see you soon, my dear friend.

[@cristyperalta2080]

Two of my admired women on youtube. Thank you Barbie for doing this. Grateful to have found your videos 3 years ago. Revisiting them as i am experiencing symptoms that are more noticeable now. Been wondering what is going on with the body aches, dryness, uti's and depression - then it dawned on me - it's menopause. A "must watch" for every woman approaching this life stage.

[@naturesrhythm8506]

This is totally amazing, thank you. Wondered why I just wanted to hide in my cave...responding in accordance with hormones, makes a lot of sense.

[@panss7826]

You are so right, and I was so unfortunate to be going through peri while my daughter was going through puberty... Toxic! I look back now and realized how crazy that was .

Yes, I always have sympathy for family that have puberty and menopause going on in their home at the same time. Now you understand why it was extra difficult.

[@panss7826]

@@MenopauseTaylor I wish I knew then what I know now..sad.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Yes, but it's never too late. And use this as encouragement for your daughter to learn all about menopause well BEFORE the needs it. It's the best gift you could possibly give her.

[@VikiBN]

Fantastic video. Wish I’d seen this years ago. I’m sharing this with many friends pre and post menopausal! Thank you.

[@Courtneyp268]

You’re so right on! I had my 2 kids late in life and now I’m going through menopause while both my kids are going thru puberty. It’s been a bit crazy in the household. And everything you’re saying I’m experiencing. My oxytocin is nearly non-existent and it’s been making me feel bad about wanting to rush the kids off to college as soon as I can so I can start living my life!!! I don’t know what it feels like to want to be a mom these days. It’s been more transparent since my husband passed away. I’m just counting the days till I get the nest back all to myself. Now, I feel like I understand from physiological perspective why I’m feeling this way…. Thank you!!! Love all your videos. Learning so much./.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I love it when you learn that you are normal, even when it's not the way you'd prefer it.

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

Yep Meno and puberty here at my house! Oh let’s not forget hubby’s retirement. Now...where is that glue?!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You poor thing! I think you need a lot of Scotch tape.

[@JackOllie4]

I had heard the saying, "All the filters come off after menopause." I guess this drop in oxytocin is why! Thank you!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Exactly! You no longer need to worry about pleasing everyone else. And it's so liberating.

[@Kathrynh246]

Loved this so much!! I’ve been binge watching you. Social changes. And changes in connections. This information is so valuable!!!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Exactly! And if you watch my videos in order, starting with the very first one, you'll really binge watch. You won't be able to get enough because you'll understand absolutely everything, probably for the first time in your life. This education is what you deserve. I love giving it to you.

[@proactv1]

& luv your valuable info

[@halcyon-cg2eb]

This video describes me to a T! Everything, really EVERYTHING, applies to me. I also read your article "Mama comes unglued" and laughed so hard when I read the part about going camping. Again, this is me 100%. It is such a relief to know that this is a normal part of menopause, and that there are many others out there who feel the same. People might be aware of certain physical symptoms in menopause, but who knew that "having no interest in holiday decorating and cookie baking" and "refusing to go camping" are part of menopause too?! Thank you for this video, I feel so much better now : )

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I just love it when you learn something that reassures you that you're normal. And now you can blame everything on your lack of oxytocin. Some women say that this is the part of post-menopause they love most.

[@kimsage7749]

I’m so thankful I found you! These videos explain exactly how I’m feeling. I really want to share them with my husband but I’m afraid if I do he won’t take me seriously. I don’t want him to minimize what I am feeling and say it’s just another female “hormonal” problem. This is all very real to me.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

It's very real, period. And I think it will benefit both your husband and/or marriage if your husband has a bit of this education. Many women watch my videos with their husbands (and many of the husbands are hooked on them because they find the information useful for men, too).

I'd love to hear that BEFORE having a child. So I could warn my spouse (and myself) about declining sex drive (non-existent for 2 years, no menstruation, no ovulation, zero!). He was jealous of OUR baby son, and thought I just used him to get pregnant. On top of that, our son happens to have multiple health and developmental issues, so needs a lot of attention even at 8 yrs old. But he's doing great and have a bright future ahead. Not so much about my relationship with his father, he was in rage! Even though I truly loved him, I couldn't be the woman he knew before pregnancy and our paths divided. Now I'm with someone else, who appreciate me as a person, not for sexual purposes.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

That's why my dream is for all women to get this education in their 20s. If they did, they'd make a whole of of decisions differently their entire reproductive lives and menopausal lives.

[@knackfulknitter]

Ha! When you put puberty and menopause at the same time in the household...my eyes widened. Then you said, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I laughed out loud!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are so welcome, Sue. I think it's always so much easier when you understand why you feel the way you do. Most of our emotions and behaviors are really just a function of our hormones.

[@terriallen779]

I'm learning so much from you. This video explains why I'm finally able to tell people what I really think instead of beating around the bush!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Exactly! And isn't it nice to know you're normal? So much of what women experience at menopause makes them think they're crazy, or depressed, or anti-social. They are none of those things. They are all due to hormone deficiencies that occur with menopause.

As the wife of an addict who has done nothing to correct his behavior but only changed substances I have zero tolerance for his disrespectful crap. When he gets mean and tells me how difficult I am I'm no longer patient enough to be nice and understanding and its not worth the energy to get angry so I'm using extreme sarcasm agreeing with every mean thing he says where in reality I work really hard to treat him right and when he's frequently careless in my environment with my things I thank him for giving me more work to do and when he really becomes impossible I thank him for caring so much about my cortisol function. I have used this approach a few minutes at a.time but now it has now become my attitude. He really hates it and it works he would prefer I get angry If we weren't raising this much needed precious puppy together I could easily go weeks without dealing with him. I know it's depleted brain chemistry so he blames my menopausal brain chemistry the difference is I didn't cause this within myself and I'm doing my best to stay on track with nutrition activities chocolate and a puppy. That's the thanks I get for acknowledging my physical changes and coming to my precious darling with honesty. He's so.proud of growing up with 3 women and spending 20 years in the Mexican culture I think respecting his very patient understanding and responsible wife is a.reasonable expectation.

I don’t think all women have high oxytocin when younger. I’ve never felt the urge to have children. I’ve known I didn’t want children since I was 12. I enjoy being married but never wanted more than marriage. We are very happy as-is.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

True. I don't think parenthood is for everyone. In fact, I don't think anything is for everyone!

[@niebieskimotyl3308]

I've had crazy levels of oxitocin at 12, I think I should be a young mother, because it dropped with age a lot, and being a mother at 31 I was already almost over. Perimenopause kicked in early and I'm now feeling stuck with 8 yrs old son being 40, wanting to have just peace and quiet. But I loved children and being around them until my 30's and first years of being a mom. Still I want to be a good mom, to raise happy, healthy and independent young man. Everyone said "don't have kids early" but I think it's different for different people, I was a very "grown up" teenager

Fun video as always!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Yep, the very job of parenthood is to raise your children so that they don't need you anymore. Somehow, things have gotten reversed over the last few generations. It used to be that kids needed their parents more than parents needed kids. Then, the parents needed their kids more than the kids need the parents. And now, parents teach their kids so little that the kids have no idea how to live without the parents. And all these changes have occurred during my lifetime!

I tell my family that the new me has experience a lot of good changes but that I am not sure that it pleases the. So much anymore. I say "no" more often now than I use to. I bent over backwards to make people happy. I stink enjoy doing many things for my family but not like I use to.... I am so anti-social now. I use to want to go out and do things and stay busy and being out and about. Now between the virus and post menopause, I just dont like being out and about anymore. People irritate me. Lol. And I just told my husband that I am not all that excited that it is Thanksgiving this week and Christmas is coming up. Every year I put up less and less decorations. I enjoy buying gifts for my family and wrapping them but the decorating, the food, all of the work...not so much. 😬 And to think this is "normal" is odd.

Validates the way I have been feeling. HRT question, The UK uses the NICE guidelines and say over age 45 with symptoms and even if still having a period than HRT is the recommendation. Here in the USA its different, and my docs will not give HRT in late 40's if still getting a period and rather give birth control pill and will do HRT once a full year without a cycle. I understand the pill has hormones high enough to turn off the brain ovary connection but HRT augments what the body is doing, is there any danger if I take HRT of my estrogen levels getting abnormally high? Thank you

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Either way is entirely fine. There is no better or worse, right or wrong. It's a matter of preference and personal situation. You will not have "abnormally high estrogen levels" either way.

[@maryyiamarelos6179]

Thus make so much sense to me. I was beginning to think I was becoming a bitter old woman. How relieved I feel after watching this. I was waiting for you to say that we could take oxytocin supplements when you finished your talk saying they don't exist. Guess I still have a small amount left seeing as I want to try.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I'm so happy when I relive your concerns. Nope, it's now YOUR turn to put yourself first. In my seminars, I give all the women buttons that say "It's all about ME! "

[@halcyon-cg2eb]

I wouldn't want to take an oxytocin supplement if there was one ; )

[@RWMHUBBARD]

BWAHAHA ! I love your hats.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Well, this isn't one I would wear for anyone but you for teaching purposes.

[@brendacavender6111]

Yes!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I'm laughing. Your one word says os much.

[@cindybrown1356]

Another excellent video! While I’d like to have a bottle stashed full of oxytocin, I can also live happily with being able to speak out more. When your personality is one of a “nice girl”, it’s pretty shocking to husband and family when you no longer tolerate what you once did. It feels good to focus on what makes me content....love love you, Dr. Barbie. Xoxo💜

[@MenopauseTaylor]

It's YOUR turn, my dear ... especially if you've always been the nice girl. Let everyone be nice to you for a change.

[@christinealix7664]

I eat oxytocin I love red wine and dark chocolate focused on health I always have some purple plant to eat and I don't interact with humans before my 1st cup of strong starter fluid ☕ however it all seems to go to my deserving aging beagle we live in a tiny village and last month I moved from the 8×8 house my husband uses to a smaller tiny house in the village dedicated as an office for the company I work for because I was doing all the work and being nice as he was falling farther into addiction and being impossible I told him get off the shit he hasn't touched it since I moved from his house but I'm still waiting for his brain chemistry to restore knowing it will take several months We were hanging out and I offered my best treats no junk food but healthy treats and he started that classic addict mean and disrespectful behavior I said please leave he returned with the same attitude a few minutes later I said I'm not doing this please leave talk to me when you have adequate brain chemistry I don't need the cortisol increase I'm enjoying my time much more now with just my dog.I love my husband I'm committed for life but he will treat me right or we're not hanging out right now and I'm cool with this arrangement even if he's not thankfully I'm right next to the original cofounder my supervisor and good friend I'm also the primary T shirt maker for the company so I spend much time in this office space anyway

Hello Friend! Thanks to (listening since your first video!) you I'm on HRT (Climara Pro) for a year now, and don't think I ever want to go off it! My Dr. just changed me to the Vivelle Dot (.05) and Premetrium (100 mg.). She said this natural progesterone has a slightly lower chance for breast cancer. I'm checking this out in your book, and I think there's something in there about it, but I can't find it. I wanted to check in with you and see if you had any comments or advice about this switch! XOXO

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Natural progesterone carries a very slightly lower risk for breast cancer, but does not do as good a job at preventing uterine cancer. You see? Everything is about trade-offs. The very reason you need progesterone is tp prevent uterine cancer. So, do you use a sub-optimal form of progesterone to perform the very function that constitutes the only reason you're taking it?

[@carolyn3441]

@@MenopauseTaylor Thanks for the response! Is the uterine cancer risk also slight? I've tried to find out more about this, but I'm not having any luck. My Dr. says there is no increased risk of uterine cancer. I'm torn because breast cancer is easier to detect and easier to treat, but the Vivelle Dot/Premetrium has me sleeping amazing (this is most important), is cheaper and the patch is much smaller (obviously less important).

This is the kind of thing that requires a one-on-one consultation. We need to take many different factors into account and tailor them all TO YOU. I can't do that here in a comment box. So, I urge you to schedule a consultation. It's the only way to really ensure that you understand this fully and do the best thing for your personal situation. I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works: 1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone. 2) I would confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I would need all these things at least 1 week before your consultation with me. 3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points put the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages. 4) I will send you the document by email 48 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth. 5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed. 6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use. 7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and balance their options. The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got form the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request. So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively). I hope to meet you soon!

Ok, how do you explain having great sexual interest and feeling "Smitten" at age 57, but being a Celibate Christian, denying him anything of me almost three years now of business contact! I think about him all the time, but make no moves of any kind. Maybe I'm an "Outlier" as I WANT HIM FOR ME. OR Someone Else I Am Attracted To. I still want friends and company. 😋 P.S. He is not a Christian, so he is forbidden. I am not interested in anyone else...so far. By the way I am almost Sixty-one years old now!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You make me laugh. I love your passion. Don't change a thing.
