What Happens to Female Hormones During Menopause - 9

[@theoneandonlypinkypinky8245]

This series is so good! Its like Sesame Street for menopause!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I love that! Yes, it IS somewhat like Sesame Street for Menopause. (I never saw Sesame Street. I'm too old and never had children.)

Thank you lord for this amazing woman!!!!!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You're going to make my head swell.

[@ErinBthankful]

I can't believe how things are coming together in my mind! It's unbelievable how many misconceptions there are about Menopause. You are doing women a great service. Thank you!! I can't wait to continue!

I love this service! Knowing that I'm making a difference for you is all I care about.

[@jeanneritchie7863]

I can hardly believe you’re putting these videos out for the masses at no cost! You’re doing a wonderful job of presenting everything in an understandable way, even for those of us that struggled with science (i.e. me!). You have a beautiful heart!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I love delivering this education to you, my dear Jeanne. It's what you deserve. Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts. It means a lot to me.

Oh dear Barbie!!! you did my day again, I feel like a college girl very enthusiastic for learning more and more, I can't wait for the next tutorial always with the best of the Professors: you!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You're making me blush.

You are today what you ate yesterday.

You're funny! Remember, these phytoestrogens are weak and can take a long time to produce results. But take it one day at a time and you'll get there.

[@tishdish1824]

Barbie you are a blessing to us women! Thank you so much for taking the time to help us understand what the heck is going on with us during menopause. I literally have not had any understanding at all. You are fabulous! I love the way you explain things. Thanks again!😊

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Oh, you're so welcome. I really enjoy doing this, especially when I know it's working. Stay tuned and you'll know everything.

Omg my anxiety is so bad at times I cant stop shaking inside

[@jessie9653]

I know me too 😢

[@gretchenwitzgall4069]

Have I ever wondered??? Yes, most of my adult life! Thank you for explaining it so thoroughly! It is interesting how LH and FSH are rarely talked about in my experience - mostly just estrogen and progesterone. I guess if I had dug more I could have found this information however the way you explain it is so much more clear. Honestly, I knew more about how my car's engine operates than I did my hormones each month. Thank you - Thank you - Thank you! You could be on a beach reading and sipping a Pina Colada but instead you are still dedicated to Woman's Health. I appreciate it so much!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I love knowing that these videos are making it easier for you to understand your body and make good decisions. I love the creativity of translating medical information into a fun, entertaining language that makes learning easy.

[@knackfulknitter]

Your way of teaching, for me, is perfect. I learn and can remember! Thank you!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Well, you're also an excellent student, my dear!

[@monizoe3188]

You're totally right about using props...helps A TON!!!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

And it makes learning more fun, too.

[@birdiebirk]

Looooove your videos! Had no idea how little I really know about menopause! You make it easy to understand with all your props. Can you do some Q & A videos once in awhile? Thx

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Yes, I'll do some Q & A's.

[@bethhelen574]

I am fifty two, have not stopped my periods yet. I think Mother Nature has forgotten to turn off the taps. This is the absolute best education I have received on the topic. You make it all so clear. So looking forward to your next videos. Thank you for being you! So grateful. Have a beautiful day🌸

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Mother Nature is sluggish at times. Good! That gives you time to learn all this before you need it.

[@sunshinehappylady8314]

Hi Barbie, The videos & your demos are so informative!!! Also loved the tour of your wardrobe room at the beginning!!!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I'm so glad you're enjoying this education, my dear.

[@ShavitaKotak]

i agree. you will have to share your fitness and diet routine. you look great. your a little pocket rocket Barbie and inspiration.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Smile.

[@Playagirl757]

Every, every student learning to become a gynecologist/obstetrician should watch every video made by Dr Taylor. I think that student would pass every exam, every test, every simulation…etc. I’m amazed at how much I did not know after watching each video so far. Thank you SO MUCH for educating me. Pressing on to the next one!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are so very welcome, my dear. Thank you for appreciating my efforts. Teaching this stuff to doctors is really pretty easy. They just have to listen (which is not typically a strong habit for doctors).

[@cristinaguedes2834]

Super great!! Now i did understand why my doctor requested an exam of my FSH and estradiol level. I finally understood what they mean. Thank you so much. You really make it so easy. I' m loving your tutorials! 👏🏻

[@MenopauseTaylor]

It makes sense, doesn't it. Keep watching. You'll understand absolutely everything.

[@cindybrown1356]

I LOVE this! I'm so bright now! Lol. Thank you so much, this reminds me of what a miracle our bodies truly are!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

What a positive attitude you have! If only all menopausal women could feel the same way. I'm going to do my best to nudge them all in that direction.

[@user-pg9kh4rk3d]

I am 45 and felt like I knew some things about menopause but I have been truly enlightened already. I'm thrilled to have found you before this stage of life begins. I want to feel competent to be the very best advocate I can be for myself and maybe others!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You have a great attitude. You should be very proud of yourself for being so proactive. You'll know everything you need to know when the time comes.

[@butterfly154]

This info is priceless! We so need you. Your series should actually be part of every gyno doctor office -as an educational program. I'm 62 and so ignorant of the hormone connection and more. I consider myself a knowledgeable individual but so ignorant of my own body. You are truly a godsend. Thank you. My Gyno Doc was suggesting pellets for hormones but I've resisted simply because I'm not trusting of the affects, etc. She ran hormone panel of course. Now results indicated everything was within range but she really didn't offer info like you are. Doctors expect that you should just trust what they say. I don't operate that way. 🕊️

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You shouldn't just trust what anyone says, You should require facts that make sense. That's what I give you. And I'll never TELL you what to do. I'll educate you so that you have the accurate knowledge (based on fact) and the confidence to know what's best for YOU. If you ever want my help with anything, just schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I'm all about the education and tailoring erecting so that you can get what you want for managing your menopause.

[@kagey03]

I just found you. Thank you for an entertaining and informative video. At 54 I love my HRT! I don’t want to stop taking it ever. Lol

[@jaykaira9939]

Do you take utrogestan, progesterone tablets? I have been suffering from insomnia due to premenopausal symptoms, hence not sure whether to have iud? Thanks

[@nanaslife7911]

So now what’s happening to me is starting to make sense... Thank you for putting this together and sharing it❤️

[@MenopauseTaylor]

There is nothing better than understanding what's happening to you. I always say, "Peace of mind is everything." So, if you really want the peace of mind you deserve, get the education you deserve. And the way you do that is by watching all my videos IN ORDER. Here’s why: I’m an anal, neurotic, pedantic, perfectionistic surgeon. I put great time and energy into making sure I publish my videos in just the right order so that they are the most beneficial for you. There is absolutely nothing willy-nilly about the order. I guess you could say that my menopause series as akin to “Menopause University.” I start with Video #1, assuming you know absolutely nothing. And I do not mean that as an insult. The fact is, you don’t know what you don’t know. And, if you start at the beginning, you’ll be shocked at what you thought you knew, but don’t. These videos are like building blocks. Each video builds on the last. Think of it like this: If you didn’t know the alphabet, could you read? No. Well, if you don’t know the foundation on the topic of menopause, you can’t possibly make sense of it. So, first I teach you the alphabet and then I teach you how to read. Most women think they know the “alphabet” of menopause, but when they watch my videos in order, beginning with the very first one, they realize that the vast majority of what they thought they knew is misinformation. That’s why visits with your doctor can seem so unproductive and curt. You don’t speak the language of menopause. Your doctor doesn’t have time to teach you the alphabet, how to read, or how to speak the language. So, most of your time face-to-face with any professional is unfruitful. If you do watch my videos in order, you’ll get a real education. Then, you’ll discover that your doctor is so impressed that you can speak the language. And your appointments will be incredibly productive. You’ll know what you want and how to get it. You owe it to yourself to take advantage of the fact that I’m so organized. I leave nothing to chance with your menopause education. Why would you throw that away by jumping into the series in the middle or watching the videos out of order? It’s like jumping into a mini-series in the middle of it. It’s so much better if you watch from the beginning. I plan the videos 8 months before they air. I shoot then 4 months before they air, and I edit them 1 month before they air. That takes a lot of planning on my part, and you get the benefits of all that planning. Okay, that’s the end of my begging. I hope you give yourself what you deserve. I love helping you, and I respond to comments here on KZbin daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!)

[@snowboardhikebikeutah]

You explain things so well! This is my first look at your videos. I will go back and start watching from the beginning. Thank you so much for producing these videos. You are really good at educating!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

And good for you for starting at the beginning. You'll find it all very easy that way.

[@brushjunkie]

[@MenopauseTaylor]

This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via online video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.

I had mentioned that my period hadn’t come in 3 mos. But last week it came very light and just for about 3 days. I’ll continue watching your videos for more insight. Thanks again!

You'll understand so well if you watch these in order. And I answer comments here on KZbin daily.

[@Lisa-sw7zj]

Girl! You ARE Downton Abby! Love the clothes and the hats are beyond adorable! I’m 7 years late hitting your channel!! Love it! I just started micronized oral progesterone, compounded test, and had to wait for Vivi Dot transdermal patch .0375mg until I had a clear mammogram. Problem is they found a mass. I had to wait 3 weeks for an US due to Kaiser’s strike. Guess what? It was an existing and obvious mole on my lower armpit. I also had an ER visit for severe abdominal pain and heartburn all in the same timeframe. All this after starting the 2 things (within 1 week). I thought maybe it was one of those new things. But I don’t think so. Not does my functional / naturopathic secondary doc. My daughter was in 3 days before me for similar symptoms. So that’s odd, they had no ideas. I also have pancreas divisum and my pancreatic and biliary ducts have been stented. Unfortunately my biliary duct was damaged but my pancreatitis was healed from the surgery! I am u fortunately a chronic pain patient on the lowest of doses that never increase. I’m shocked how my chronic pain has been controlled. I do have 5mg P for acute pain as needed. I do worry because none of my MD Kaiser docs will listen to me or offer me anything beyond an IUD (I’ve had a tubal and my husband is fixed.) I took a really crappy synthetic progesterone that made me so ill. They said I had to do the IUD and then, they could give me a hysterectomy, I feel that’s a big jump. I asked about transdermal estrogen along with micronized progesterone. They said NO, we won’t govern you the estrogen patch until you’re in menopause. 🤔 The doc I have now says it’s better to start all of those before menopause. That makes sense to me. You don’t want to pump it all up from Zero. So I guess my question is, should I stop being scared of estrogen? Kaiser isn’t finding a health problem. My blood insulin is 4, A12 is 5.2. Thyroid great (including t3/t4), lowest of low cholesterol and blood pressure. I just during the health scare stated having tight chest, more heart burn, and intermittent SOB that scared me at times. I’m either having heart issues or anxiety attacks or just bad heartburn. Please tell me if I should go for the estrogen? I’m scared but I need my quality of life to happen! Please feel free to PM ME if your heart calls to me. Thank you for all you education! I’m watching them all in order, I just have things that I’m nervous whether it’s all good. If you even read this, thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤❤❤

LOVE your Boudoir! LOVE your pink outfit to! I had to learn all of this the hard way. I really wish I found this series when I first hit menopause which was 2014 or earlier! You would not believe the disrespect shown to me and other women by doctors because of hormones. I hit menopause around 52 years old. (my mom got menopause at age 63 so I thought I would too ) I was relieved when I hit menopause. I was thrilled I thought you just stopped having periods or if you have a bad diet you get hot flashes which I knew I would not have and have never had even one hot flash! I had an easy breezy puberty other than difficult periods. No mood swings or any of the things you hear about in puberty. But menopause is kicking my rear! But I had to do all of this reproach myself because doctors were of no help at all! If anything they hurt my experience. I had a doctor tell me pain I was experiencing at age 45 (peri- menopause) was menopause. Found out it was RSD. So with al of this nonsense I had to do my own research! All women should know about you and your series and I am happy that you are taking the taboo out of it. This not talking about the truth is not my thing! Keep telling the truth!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Don't worry. I'm completely fact-based, and I tell you the truth about everything. I'm glad you're here.

How unpleasant for you, I'm so sorry so many wonen are not being taken serious by doctors.

And if you ever want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU, just schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all via video.

[@ghizlanetalbi7768]

I soooo wish these videos came with a french translation for my mom. I am learning so much but want my family to learn too from your wisdom Dr. Barbie

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Eventually, there will be subtitles in any language you choose. But that's turning out to be a difficult feat (mostly because of the medical nature of my videos).

[@erine2409]

These are amazing ! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us… and you are adorable ! Thanks so much

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I love every minute of giving you this education! Welcome aboard to "Menopause Taylor University." You'll find that if you start at the very first video (going by the number after each title), you'll understand absolutely everything. You'll be shocked at what you didn't know, and delighted that now you do know. Each video builds on the last. It's just like school: You had to learn the alphabet before you could read. And nowadays, there are so many overwhelming misconceptions that women mistake as facts ... that you just don't know what you don't know. I respond to all comments here on KZbin daily. So, I will answer all your questions ... but I'll also know if you aren't watching the videos in order. (I'm like your mother. I have eyes in the back of my head!) And if you need me to help you tailor anything to your personal situation, you can schedule a one-on-one consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME any time. I do them all online.

[@GingerDeBrosse]

Your tutorials are fantastic! Thank you for doing this! It is so helpful to understand what is happening during menopause. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You're so welcome. I like making things easy.

[@66joydipi]

What a superb presentation to reach all women minds!! Thank you.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I'm so glad these tutorials are making a difference for you. I sure do love making them!

[@66joydipi]

This is why they are all so explicit and absolutely lovable !!!

[@zaidadean3609]

You are wonderful. I love your props. You explain everything so simple

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Thank you, my dear. I love knowing that my education is helping you.

[@kathyforgues6994]

Ok, so I heard about you from Dominique and so glad I did. I am 47 and after a test to make sure I don't have cancer. I can't remember the name of the test?, I will be scheduled for a total hysterectomy soon afterwards. I am glad that I am gaining knowledge about all this. I am looking forward to not having horrible cramps and all the rest!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Kathy, I'm so glad you've come to my channel! If you haven't already, be sure to watch tutorial 8 (the one just before this one). It's all about surgical procedures, and it will help you know in advance which procedure you're having. (Actually, if you watch all the videos all in order, you'll really understand everything really well.) I'm so happy your test for cancer was negative.

[@brendaf1033]

Excellent! You are a wonderful teacher. It wouldn't hurt for husbands/significant others to watch these. Thank you thank you!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Absolutely! All males should watch them. In fact, the last chapter of my book is "For the Guys." It gives them a brief description of what menopause is (entitled, "Menopause in a Flash"), compares their aging process to ours ("Male Menopause"), and teaches them how to be a good support system for the women in their lives ("Men in Support of Menopause"). The chapter is 11 pages long, and it's really helpful.

[@Jesusiswatchingyou-123]

Your voice is so calm and easy to follow in the older videos ❤️

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Well, thank you, my dear.

[@FromRVtoCrafts]

You describe exactly what my body was doing. My doctor said my brain was telling my body to go into puberty mode and it refused (due to my XX familial gonadal dysgenisis).

[@tonyalcandida]

Thank you Barbie, I'm so enlightened now at age 59. Better late than never I say. What a kind and beautiful person you are. You put so much energy into your videos and make them interesting and FUNNY! I hope its not too late for me to start HRT :)

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Tonya, Schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME, and I'll help you assess your options. You'll probably find that you have many more than you anticipated. But I need to tailor all the facts to YOU. And that's precisely what I do in consultations. I look forward to meeting you an helping you. And I thank you for your kind compliment.

You are so welcome, Chrisann. There will be plenty more videos. I've made a huge syllabus.

[@wem-c9f]

@5:59 Why do some practitioners tell us that the plunge in progesterone level is what causes postpartum depression (as well as hair loss) but Dr Barbara, you say it hangs around and sometimes causes that. Who is speaking the truth?

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Both are true. Your progesterone increases 15 times during pregnancy, and then plunges when you deliver. But estrogen is 15 times higher during pregnancy, too. And it plunges after delivery. Depression is a symptom of estrogen deficiency. Progesterone itself can cause depression. This is what causes the mood changes at the time of PMS.

[@SpyGrl007]

Very good content. Don’t care for theatrics but the content is stellar

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Well, the theatrics are my teaching style. So that won't change.

[@VeneciaBa]

Im so glad that you are here... The way you explain is fantastic...

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Good! As long as you understand, I'm doing my job.

[@cindystaff2932]

Thanks Dr. Barbie for making this video.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You're very welcome, and I'm going to make a lot more.

[@juliewestron5260]

10:55 She talks adrenals here. Don’t we need to support the adrenals in menopause too? Since the load on the adrenals increases since it has to make hormones the ovaries once did? Thanks 😊 I’ve had a doctor give me large amounts of progesterone, and it started to make my adrenals weak. It also made my feet cold at night, so much so I couldn’t sleep. I had to get a heating pad for my feet. My feet had never been cold in my life. She said it was just old age, however I think it was because my adrenals were low.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Your adrenal glands are not normally affected per se with menopause ... other than the fact that your entire body suffers from estrogen deficiency. Do not fall prey to alternative practitioners who sell you on the made-up diagnosis of "adrenal fatigue."

[@user-ds2tg6gc6x]

If you have no ovaries, FSH is high and LH, wow! Surgical menopause sucks. You are a great teacher. All ob's and gynecologist need to learn to guide their patients through menopause. I feel there is no complete education for women when it happens to them for the first time

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I am the ONLY person on Planet Earth who has EVER delivered an education to women on menopause. It's the most neglected topic on Earth.

[@LilybelleAnnabelle]

THANK YOU, Thank you, Thank you. You are exactly what I need and at the time that I need it. You are a God send. Videos are PERFECT and fun.

Dr. Barbie , thank you, you make it SO clear and easy to understand plus FUN!!! . Loving your tutorials.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Having fun while you learn is always good. There's just something about memory and fun that are linked, don't you think?

[@tracybarnum]

Wow! You are an amazing teacher. I only wish you could be my doctor, a good one is so hard to find. I will be buying your book and look forward to more fun, informative videos. I am very curious about you moving every year. I did that for a few years (with a baby) and it was hard. Living in different countries is quite an education, so no regrets. Thanks for all you do for us ladies!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Welcome aboard, Tracy! I can't be your doctor, but I can be your educator. And that will make working with all your doctors much easier. If you watch these videos in order, you won't miss a beat, and you'll be so well-informed that this education will serve you well for the rest of your life. As for moving every year, it's just for fun. No babies, pets, plants, or even furniture. We rent a fully-furnished apartment or house every year. We take turns choosing the country.

[@shellcshells2902]

I'm a chronic pain patient along with a neuro disease. I'm looking forward to how this may affect my menopause. I'd like to learn how you exercise with your pain.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

RaChelle, I bear the pain rather than taking narcotic pain relievers. Most people with my level of arthritic disease are in a wheelchair and addicted to pain meds. I hurt a lot, but refuse to let the pain stop me. I go to the gym first thing every single morning ... no excuses! Once there, I do what I can do. Most days, I'm able to function as I expect. But some days, I just have to be gentle with myself and listen to my body even more than usual. I exercise in a completely different way than most other people: no impact, no heavy weights, and no speed. I do a lot of yoga, pilates, and isometric exercise. You'll benefit greatly from the exercise videos I'll be showing you. I've made up a lot of exercises that will be just perfect for you. They all have multiple levels of difficulty so that you can start with the basics and work your way up. They'll be scattered throughout the series. So stay tuned.

[@CougarcosmeticsAustralia]

Just brilliant as always Dr Barbie. Thank you. x

[@MenopauseTaylor]

If you're only on video 9, there are many things ahead that will make you realize that your situation is critically important. You meet the definition of "premature menopause," and that changes everything. Please, please consider scheduling a one-on-one consultation with me. Tick, tick, tick. For you, timing is everything. And, unless you're going to binge-watch these videos, you need to get a lot of information a lot faster the you can from the videos. (I haven't even started covering weight gain, but I can do that with you in a consultation along with everything else.) I am soooooo glad you found this education, and I consider it an honor to help you make the rest of your life the best of your life. I love helping you. 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 25 - 30 pages. 4) I will send you the document by email at least 24 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).
