I live in an upscale suburb of Portland, OR, both my primary and Obgyn doctors were refusing to prescribe the HRT to me, at 54! I insisted. It's so hard to find TRUE doctors, like our lovely and smart Dr. Barbie. Thank you a million!

You are so welcome, and your problem is common. Most doctors have no education on menopause. And they have very few minute with you. Plus, even if they had the knowledge they are not teachers. But I love giving you this menopause education.

I just got taken aback by my new PCP. My GYN prescribed my estrogen/progesterone and has never questioned my need for it. My old PCP retired (also never questioned me being on it), and I just met my new, young PCP. Upon going over my medication list, he said, "Why are you still taking estrogen?" I said because it helps with my menopause symptoms. I was surprised enough at that question but then he said, "When will you stop taking it?" I immediately said, "Never", he said "Ok" and we moved on, but I sat there in a bit of shock because I really thought a young doctor would have a more updated view of estrogen. They really don't teach this stuff anywhere but here. You rock Dr. Taylor!

I am so grateful for this FREE education on Menopause. Several women I know, insist that estrogen causes breast cancer. One receptionist stopped taking estrogen (after using it only 7 months) once she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her doctor said the estrogen caused it. If your videos were out back then, where they are now, I would have been able to tell her that she had the cancer at least 7 years ago. I love being informed as I do not want to look like an ostrich with its head in the ground. Hugs and love…and will be here next week!

53 year old here, went into menopause two years ago. Perimenopause was hell, menopause was much worse. My quality of life before HRT was so bad. So bad. I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel nor did I want to. Been on HRT for three months and my life is 100% better. I weighed it… depression and misery vs. possible breast cancer. I wasnt living without HRT so I said to hell with it. I will cross that bridge if I ever get to it. I had what I think are extreme symptoms of Menopause. All are gone. The irritable, the dry skin, the hot flashes, night sweats, the lack of you know…, over weight, etc. 3 months and my skin looks amazing, I lost 20 lbs and go to the gym twice a week and I can tolerate my husband once again (than God he tolerated me😆). NO MORE HOT FLASHES, NO MORE NIGHT SWEATS. For me, it was quality of life THAT I chose.

I'm sure you have a video that addresses this more specifically but I want to understand more about estrogen-positive cancer (I had DCIS 12 years ago that was estrogen-positive). Though based on the many videos of yours I've watched, I have a feeling that it goes something like this: taking HRT doesn't necessarily increase your risk of breast cancer even if you had estrogen-positive cancer. NOT taking estrogen poses its own breast cancer risks afterall.

Hi Dr. Taylor! As usual, thank you for another fact-based, informative, and extremely important video. I have a question: you said women taking bioidentical estrogen (alone) have more of an increased risk of breast cancer than those taking non-bioidentical. I thought pharmaceutical estrogen can also be considered bioidentical (Estrace, Dotti patch, etc.). In this video, were you referring to compounded bioidentical or ALL bioidentical? I'm so happy you are here on YT educating us - you are literally saving lives, my own included. ❤

I was wondering if you could clarify if that applies to pharmaceutical bioidentical, compounded bioidentical, or both? Thanks!!

Dr Taylor - towards the end of the video you say that gynecologists (among other medical doctors) are stoking/increasing women’s fears of estrogen… Why is this? I know that gynecologists get only minimal training on menopause (if any), but are you saying gynecologists also don’t know (much) about estrogen? That sounds absurd. I’m aware of doctors’ fears of litigation, but if they scientifically understand estrogen, wouldn’t it count as malpractice to “terrorize” (to use your word) women about the use of estrogen? Thank you for this video. 🌸

@MenopauseTaylor 8 ай бұрын

One study (the WHI), 21 years ago, scared women ... and doctors against HRT. And fear is the most powerful emotion on Earth. Once it's part of the equation, it's very difficult to erase or reverse it. And that's why menopause management is so difficult for women. They themselves are scared. And doctors are still preying on that fear to avoid given HRT for fear of lawsuits. We now have a situation in which doctors are doing what is in their legal best interest rather than what's in your medical best interest. I do consider it malpractice, equal to withholding insulin from diabetics.

I think when people say "estrogen dominance" they're talking about xeno estrogens, not the estrogen naturally produced by your own body. All those chemicals in beauty products, plastic, conventionally raised beef, cleaning products, hair dye, fragrance etc etc. Those increase your toxic load and affect your hormone balance. Of course your own estrogen doesn't cause cancer!

@MenopauseTaylor 3 ай бұрын

People use the term "estrogen dominance" to mean all sort of things. But it's nothing but a marketing term. Dr. John Lee catered to the Alternative & Complementary camp, coining the term "Estrogen Dominance" and telling women that too much estrogen was the reason for all their gynecologic problems. Then, he told them that progesterone was the cure (for everything). And, guess what? The Alternative & Complementary world uses progesterone for everything. So, Dr. Lee's message made women buy progesterone, believing that it's good for them and estrogen is bad for them. None of this is true. It's all marketing, not science. But it sure sold a lot of progesterone! This was never a valid school of thought. So the word "outdated" is irrelevant. If you haven't watched videos 74, 75, & 76, do so. They explain all of this in detail. If you watch my videos in order, there's no way you won't understand everything. And I'm not selling anything other than the education itself, which is free.

@MenopauseTaylor 12 күн бұрын

Progesterone is something your body produces only for the benefit of a baby during pregnancy. The word, "progesterone" means "hormone in support of pregnancy:" "Pro" = in support of "Gest" = gestation (pregnancy) "One" = hormone Progesterone's only role during your reproductive life is to protect Baby Bear in utero. It does nothing for YOU. Once you are post-menopausal, progesterone's only role or benefit for you is to prevent uterine cancer. That's it!

Before this, i havent have a period since i was 40.. 7 years ago! .. My dr. told me to continue taking my hormones while bleeding but back to 1mg of estrogen.. It doesnt feel right to do that.. Am i wrong?? Shouldnt i wait until im finished bleeding? Im so confused

That seems like a lot. I have read that the amounts mostly start at 0, 025 and not longer than 2 years, bc of the risc of... Cancer.

You may not finish bleeding. I never did. I just kept going for weeks and I was only on .1 mg. ! When I cut back, even while I was bleeding, I finally found a comfortable place and the bleeding stopped. I've never upped it again. Curious why you're on such a high dose.

I was actually feeling really good at the 2mg amount until the bleeding started. I was trying to be at the best level to prevent the 3 diseases and also keep my hair and skin feeling good. I guess it back fired.

I am 37 year old female. I have large uterine fibroids and , regular cycle every 28 days but the bleeding is very scanty since almost 15 years. I feel I am low on estrogen and dominance of progesterone must have caused these big fibroids. Can you guide me if I am thinking on the right lines ? Please do reply. Most say fibroids are due to estrogen dominance. But I feel mines are due to progesterone dominance and lack of estrogen. What do you think ?

No, your understanding is completely off. 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.

Estrogen dominance in the alternative space of health care means one has low progesterone, or has genetic snips that cause issues with the metabolism of estrogen by the liver.

The whole theory of “estrogen dominance” was made up by Dr. John Lee of the Alternative community in order to get women to blame estrogen for all their gynecologic problems. His goal was to sell progesterone, which he touted as the “safe and beneficial” hormone. Well, his marketing worked. But it’s a complete fallacy. You can’t use progesterone instead of estrogen any more than you could wear a baby’s clothes instead of yours. You are “estrogen dominant” because you are female (Mama Bear) and estrogen is YOUR hormone. You are estrogen dominant for half of every menstrual cycle you ever have. And you are estrogen dominant during peri-menopause. But at post-menopause, you are estrogen deficient. And estrogen deficiency is what causes all the problems both short and long term once you reach post-menopause.

Estrogen doesn't cause cancer alone. The combination of progesterone and Estrogen causes cancer. That's what my dr told me.

Neither CAUSES breast cancer. Cycles are the underlying issue for all the hormonal risk factors for breast cancer. But there are many risk factors.

@MenopauseTaylor So, if neither causes breast cancer. I'm thinking Arimidex won't prevent cancer from coming back. I hear you say my cancer was caused by the other risk factors. Do you agree?
