May I just say, ”Thank you” for making these videos,and compliment,your beautiful skin:)
Thank you so much for getting some this out there. Most women pretend it isn’t even happening.
Anne! So proud of you on your recovery from sugar. I work in the field of addiction and have been 24 yr sober and clean. It’s not an easy task at all, once again your honesty and willingness to speak on issues women don’t discuss often. I applaud you. Happy New year and thanks for your posts. Glad your back. ����
Every woman who has been through menopause I’ve spoken to said their doctor said “dont even try to lose weight. No matter what you do, it won’t happen”. Hormones play a huge role.
Nonsense when your body can no longer make estrdiol and estriol on it’s own it relies on estrone as its replacement. Estrone is stored in your fat cells and cues your body to hold onto more fat. Biodentical hormones balances and replaces hormones like estradiol so that estrone is no longer dominant. Once estradiol and smaller levels of estrone are back in harmony you will be able to start losing weight again.
Hello Anne, I’m glad you’re back! Thank you so much for doing this video! I struggle with sugar, I am 61, I’ve put on 25 lbs in the past yr. I so need to do this! My mother is diabetic and is on dialysis. I dont want to be in the same boat.
I have been addicted to sugar my entire life and also a binge and emotional eater
thankyou so much. you do help me a lot. please keep making this kind of video
You possibly can lose 10 pounds in 2 months safely & naturally even if you haven’t lost weight for long periods
Ladies this is a great video to share lets face it we are all getting older and we need to take care of ourselves to live a healthy active life.
Hello Danny, I am Joyce from the Netherlands. Thank you for doing this and sharing all your recipes. I have made some of the recipes and felt super proud because I never baked or cooked before. I always used the steamer because I was always really busy. Now with your recipes I also can cook and bake. Thanks again
I know I should cut sugar. It is so hard. So well done! For sport: I lift weight to tone the body and to avoid losing muscles. And I walk my dog a lot:-)
At approximately 21:09, you mentioned to Dr. Garrett that there are 3 types of testing and Dr. Garrett mentioned Dutch testing but the other 2 weren’t mentioned. What were the other 2?
Follicle (granulosa cells) produces inhibin that blocks the FSH secretion (not estrogen inhibits FSH production) and estrogen inhibits LH production. This is the accurate physiology but maybe you explain it in this way to simplify the process. However, it got me confused! I think it’s better to mention it….
Thank you ever so much for the video. I have booked an appointment with Dr Anna and can’t wait! in the meantime, what could you suggest for when I feel my heart beating faster than normal and sweat and cold feet, which was the case this morning and i had to just concentrate on breathing in and out slowly. If you have any other ways I can cope I would be thankful forever. P.s. I’ve just bought the book
You aren’t speaking from experience and you don’t seem to know the physiology of hormones and weight loss. Calories in/calories out doesn’t work after a certain age is many menopausal women. We should get diet advice only from menopausal women who have overcome their weight problem or those who have studied the science.
Hi Barbie. Just started watching, saw u with Dominique. I’m a rectal cancer survivor, who has had surgery, chemo and radiation. I am celebrating being cancer free for a year. My doctor is poo pooing any hormone therapy. I am miserable. He put me on an anti depressant. Used it once, and hated it. I’m looking forward to going through all of your videos. Thanks so much for doing them!!
I enjoy many of your recipes. I just noticed with the almond pancakes you were using a non-stick pan. That was 6 yrs ago, so hoping you no longer use those (I stopped using them yrs ago, along with the “microwave”). Thing is, “menopause” isn’t a disease and, like so many things with women especially, it shouldn’t be treated as such. It’s sad that so many of us are in this bubble of giving so much of our power over to “doctors” (actually translates to “teacher,” but not represented that way in our cra-cra world). FYI, I only watched 5 mins of this video, so… But being a woman who hasn’t been to a mainstream doc in well over 20 yrs, and still have all my lady parts, my advice of course is to avoid mainstream docs like the plague. Stop using crap like non-stick pans, and all their other toxic stuff. Like dairy products. Like toxic soaps, deodorant, cleaners, hair dyes, etc. Don’t let ’em squish your boobs (causes the big C) and don’t put your feet in those stirrups (that regular horror would have to greatly contribute to stress/anxiety=disease). Don’t let them cut you at least until you’ve researched/tried natural ways of healing. Research natural birth control. All of this (and more) is what makes “menopause” more like a disease. Living a crazy unnatural life pumped up with all the toxins (air, food, water, cosmetics, personal care products, utensils, clothes…but there are alternatives). Uh, yep, I’ve done the menopause thing, no white coats present. Don’t remember the day it started or ended. Had a few “hot flashes” here and there, but as I recall I was drinking some herbal tea that greatly reduced them. I still have my natural hair color (no white or gray…unheard of at this age). Um yeah, mainstream crap is a killer, and being treated like cattle (stirrups, are they still doing that?), is very aging. Women, take back your power, and your body. Know that you deserve so much better, a non-toxic life at the very least. You’re just a cash cow for them, whether per their ignorance or just blatant greed.
This is a normal part of the course of my life. How do I want to feel about it and handle it. I love this.
Menopausal weight gain is hard! I am having to make some adjustments to my diet. I have never had a belly and it creeped up slowly. I saw a picture of myself from Christmas and I looked pregnant. I made the decision to start taking care of my body regain strength and eat healthier. Sugar had to go I said goodbye to it a few days ago. But do not try to take my cream away with morning coffee ☕️
I have thought for a couple of years I was perimenopausal, I am 43, but kept being told I was too young. Thank you.
Great information.I cant rely on my mom for info because she had a hysterectomy in her 40’s. I totally agree with you that now at 51 I am putting myself first.
I just started watching your videos. Wish I knew this 10 years ago. What can I do to find a Dr. To listen to me about how I feel and do what is necessary to make my menopause journey the best part of my life. I live in Fayetteville NC and it it so hard to find a Dr. Who will listen to you. I simply gave up and have been miserable for 10 years. The process of finding a Doctor is very time consuming and expensive. Trying to get in for an appt can take from 3 to 6 weeks. I have good insurance and live a very comfortable life.
My husband does not understand he always says well you are not like you used to be. He jokes that I have been going thru menopause for a long time. I am at the lowest point in my life now when I should be enjoying life. I am existing not living.
Since my hysterectomy at the age of 47 I have not been on any HRT. Every Doctor I have seen does not want to do anything. They have their biased opinions. I just quit going to them and almost gave up until I found you thru Angie Hot&Flashy. Now I have hope that things will get better.
I am going to watch all of your videos in order. I am on number 5 now. But what can I do when I am empowered with the information you give me in finding the right Dr. In a timely manner.
Thank you so much for doing these videos. You Absolutely ROCK!!

This is a very dangerous statement. Balanced hormones are ESSENTIAL for weight management during menopause. Without balancing hormones, no matter what you do, the estrodone that is created after menopause is used to store fat. Without rebalancing all major hormones the body will only continue to gain weight as it has nothing to stop it from storing fat.
What a quack.
I grew up with a ‘healthnut’ mom (ie: very little sugar, no soda pop, no fast food, etc) very similar to you and would go crazy with junk food and sweets when I was away from home.
I am definitely a sugar addict and know it. I try to avoid it as much as possible (but I didnt do so well during the holiday!) and like you, I can’t just have a little bit of sweets. It’s all or nothing for me. It’s true that once you stop eating it you do lose a lot of the desire for sweets.
I’ve done Whole30 several times and it’s a great way to re-set. I applaud you for staying away from sugar almost all-together. You look terrific btw!
Just the other week I declared that I swear that when I’m pms’ing I’m also experiencing premenopausal symptoms! I turned 40 two days ago so I wasn’t sure if it was too early for this to be true and maybe I was just crazy! Thank you for discussing this topic!
Perfect discussionI’m 52 and just was declared post menopausethe weight is what I struggle with and your sight keeps me interested in new food plans and I’ve enjoyed changing everything I eat I feel great but the weight is slow to go!
so knowing that most obgyns don’t t have the knowledge necessary about menopause which professional specialist should we see to manage peri menopause and menopause?
Thank you for doing this interview!!! It was so helpful. I can’t wait to read Dr. Anna’s book!
Dani, thank you…thank you! This is so helpful and I am so glad we’re not hiding this part of our lives…it’s natural. We need to communicate and know we are not alone. I’ve found acupuncture, yoga, and an excellent naturopathic doctor very helpful for perimenopause.
When i was teenager and 20 my weight was 69 kilos when i was beetwen 40-50 my weight was 5455 kilos now i am 50 my weight is beetwen 5657 kilos i gained 1.5 kilo
I heard this woman a few years ago that she got menopause at age 65 and she take supplements and take good care of her health. I got menopause at age 53 and never had hot flashes. Just try to eat healthy and avoid sweets. Not taking any medication at age 66. Thank you lovely ladies for this video. God bless you both!
I have been postmenopausal for 8 years, and I am 32-years-old. My doctors are clueless. I went through it alone. I was 25 years old and my VA doctor constantly stated that my case is so “fascinating” my fsh and lh levels are unheard of and off the charts by 100%. I know that doctors think about becoming the first to do this and that, but hearing how “fascinating” it is, while I was suffering, did not receive help or advice, and found out that I was barren really hurt.
A Male talking about menopause…………..Something went wrong:(
This is great Dani. I am on her email list-she has wonderful information.
Hi My Name is Tammy and I am a SUGAR ADDICT….I am the same, one piece starts the binge….I cannot have it in the house…SUGAR is my trigger food. I do enjoy my berries and apples…these do not set me off.
Eat less move more. Wow. I would have never thought of that.
It’s finally good to see women talking about this. Last year for me was the worst year of my life because I thought I was in peri menopause but when I found the right doctor I had already went through menopause. I’m only 45 so it was a shock for me. It took a whole year to get me physically, mentally & emotionally whole again. The right doctor is key because my obgyn made me feel like I was going crazy when I knew something was wrong. So if one doctor won’t listen find another one!
I have found several times that doctors simply do not know a lot about women‘s bodies after menopause. It seems somehow not interesting. So thank you for your interest.
Happy hump day! Today I am sharing a follow up interview with my friend + health expert, Dr Anna Garrett. Dr. Anna just launched her new book: Perimenopause: A Savvy Sister’s Guide To Hormone Harmony (you can pre order here: https://youtu.be/iu2cHBGdtgw) is committed to helping women become their own health advocates! I hope you find this info insightful, I know I sure did! xo-Dani
Hi everyone! It’s so good to be back. I filmed this before Christmas. I wanted to save this video for after the holidays because I know how hard it is to even think about getting healthy during the holidays. In the next video I’m going to talk more about what I eat. As I said in the video I’m not an expert I’m just sharing what works for me. I’ve been able to keep the weight off. The biggest change is making this a lifestyle change. I hope that you find this helpful. If you did please share this as I know how frustrating it is the lose weight and this would be helpful to many. Next week I’ll be starting my new series. I hope you all enjoyed celebrating the holidays. I hope this year brings you good health and happiness.
Wow. Congrats on your success and thank you! Sugar is my addiction too.
I have got to stay away from it. I need to find some exercise too. Thank you
One good thing is that if you were pear shaped, as I was, the gain goes elsewhere and you feel more in proportion. I have gained on stomach, bust and arms.
It is estimated that in 1998, there were over 477 million postmenopausal women in the world. That number is projected to rise to rise to 1.1 billion by the year 2025. A study of menopausal women revealed that 80% experienced no change in quality of life. 62% felt positively about menopause. Ten percent of women said they were irritable, fatigued, and had feelings of despair during the menopausal phase of their lives.

I love watching these types of videos. I started into a premenopausal state at 27. I had a vaginal hysterectomy, but got to keep my ovaries. The Dr said I had another 35 years of good use of them left. We’ll now that I’m in my early 50’s, my weight has increased. But I believe I’m an addict of sugar also. And chocolate, girl I’m a chocoholic! This video has truly inspired me. And I believe I was meant to see this to help me begin my weight loss journey. Thank you for being so blunt and so real. That’s extremely helpful to ppl like me. I believe if I cut out those things I’ve been eating that I already know are “bad” for me, I will lose the weight I need to. I have always enjoyed walking too. However a motorcycle accident that broke my right foot and leg, changed all of that for me. I still enjoy walking, although too much of that causes my ankle to swell and I have to keep it elevated and iced for up to 4 days each time. So I have to do no impact workouts and that my dear is difficult for me. But I am truly inspired, and I know that once I set my mind on something, I will achieve it. Thanks again Anne, you’re the best. Much love to you. P.s. I will try to keep you posted as to my journey successes and fails. Xoxo Laura Ann��
Brilliant information! Can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos and educate myself on menopause! “It’s all about me” Thank you!
A small metabolic workout, even 7 minutes, to raise your heart rate at least 3 times a week helps boost metabolism. I do metabolic everydaybfor 15 minutes and it really boosted my metabolism
Going gluten free and stopping sugar, dairy and artificial sweeteners removed all my cravings
I am addicted to sugar. There I said. I get soooo tired at times and I have to keep on going. I go straight to the sugar. I literally feel it coursing through my veins. You are motivating me again.
Im 52 and have been lucky my whole life as far as weight goes. The last year I have been eating, not so good and it is starting to show in my belly. I used to walk almost every day, but live in Maine and its too cold. An excuse! Ive got to start eating better and moving more. Thanks for inspiring me to do so.��
Great video!.. Food for thought, but, not sugar and carbs!������.. I am 63 on the other side of menopause, I hear ya!.. i need to cut out the sugar and carbs as well!.. thank you for such an awakening!., you are awesome!.����������
U r video n teaching technique all r fab sir but i want to need videos on more topic like
1-contraception
2fabroid/ polyp
3 puberty
Etc…….
Have you found a makeup foundation that is best for sebaceous hyperplasia? I love sugar, as the same; “ill just eat 2 mini candy’s and would eat 10 and hour later 10 more….I am a vegan. Was on a 100% plant based diet for 10 months. Lost a whole 6 pounds:(. I did it for anti inflammatory reasons. I as a vegan; eat many carbs. And even veggie and fruit carbs. I find chocolate now gives me headaches, so I find carbs are my next go to. I love to walk. I need to shed 20 pounds. This is not easy. LET ME KNOW WHAT FOUNDATION YOU LIKE.
should talk about LH since this is what causes ovulation. (LH surge)
Thanks Anne, I was a walker for 10+ years and really loved it! I am also in a neighborhood with lots of hills, so a great high/low impact workout. I was walking 6km about 4 miles every day. Some days I was up to 10km. Then I would work 4 days a week, on my feet for 8 hours….I ended up with two stress fractures in my right foot. No more walking…no more working for 8 weeks. Needless to say I stared gaining weight. As soon as the Walking cast was off I started walking again, but my knees started to hurt. And the weight kept packing on… I finally talked to my Dr and she prescribed Ozempic (insulin) it has reset my metabolism, curbed my appetite and I have lost close to 30 pounds. With the weight loss my knees feel better and I can start to slowly work out again. This worked really well for me, but obviously only with Dr supervision.
Thank you so much for such an inspiring story, Anne! ��I gained the hell a lot of weight because of sugar addiction and I’m noticing that all these unhealthy extra kilos make me look much older than I really am. I’m not even gonna mention the health issues that follow. Your video came out exactly when I’d started considering to ditch sugar completely. Thank you for motivation! Do you eat any sugar substitutes like granola sweetened by maple syrup or something? I don’t believe much in sugar substitutes but just wanted to know your opinion ❤️☺️
I love walking also, however my Dr. said the older we get we have to incorporate some type of muscle training and stretching too. Loved the video!
Oh Anne, you look stunningly beautiful. I love this look on you! I too am addicted to sugar. I’ve managed to lose almost 20 pounds in 18 months due to lifestyle changes, but I still eat some sugar (and I need to lose 5 more pounds). Like you, it zaps me of my energy. I desperately need a change but I can’t imagine life without chocolate (thus the addiction). Thanks for giving me some renewed motivation. PS I just had Lasik eye surgery so if my spelling is wonky, this is why.
I love doughnuts, pastries, etc and thankfully, I’ve always been pretty thin. I haven’t been a big one to work out, either…I get my workout running around being a postpartum nurse and chasing after 4 grandchildren! I know I need to do a bit more in the way of cardio and strength training, but I also have 2 rods the length of my back. That limits flexibility and I’m in constant stiffness and soreness. Takes a lot out of me. However, with menopause came about 10 lbs, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but with my frame, I can tell when I’m up or down 4 lbs!
Anne you look great. Can you address cellulite or did you not have any?
#vaidjagjitsingh gives ayurvedic and herbal medicines which helps in treating any problems related to Menopause. You can take appointment and visit centre.
I would add that working out can help greatly with post menopausal sleep issues. ��
Hi Barbie, I have ordered your book so that I can follow along but I would like the outline too. Where can I find that? Thank you from Colorado! xx
The word “diet” should refer to the foods we eat normally for me and my family it’s lifestyle change. We cut sugar out. We are mindful of what we eat. No fast food. We meal prep. Lots of veggies and lean protein. Water is our main drink.
We also use a few tools. My fitness pal app is free, made by under armor. I love my Fitbit.
I also believe exercise is key. I strength train, do yoga and cardio. I went from 145 to 125 and I feel it’s something I can maintain
Also, I live with pain in my hips and knees and I have an old shoulder injury. At 55 and in menopause, I can say I’m in the best shape of my life.
I don’t like to exercise. I don’t think anyone does. But I love how I feel. I love being able to do the things I’ve always been able to do.
What I’ve encountered is obgyn want to put u on birth control and medicine for anxity
I discovered this a year ago! When I lived in Grand Rapids I went to someone who put me on hormones and I never felt better in my life…then I moved to Chicago and new doctor did not believe in hormone therapy and took me off. I went downhill fast….I then took my life back and went back to GR and put myself back.. I am back!!!
Thank you. I never thought of the sugar issue as an addiction until today. Will be working on it. Happy New Year
Hi Anne great video thank you for sharing what worked for you for both weight and menapause, it’s muchly appreciate all the best Mary ��
Wow Anne, this lipstick looks stunning on you!!!! I love your whole makeup in this video. Tutorial please ��❤
So glad I watched this. I’ve definitely have been experiencing symptoms and it’s an eye opener
Oh me oh my! How wonderful to have you in my life to guide me in this unknown phase of my life. Thank you for instilling knowledge into me at the tender age of 50. Thank you ����
Yes I’ve gained a lot of weight in the last 6 months, it’s very discouraging. I guess I should cut sweets out, it’s just so hard.
Thank you for your video, it’s very welcomed.
Than you for these videos, my biggest issue is with mood swings
What an excellent topic. I tend to separate the goodies from the teens.
You could be sharing my story, Anne. I started Keto four months ago and have found that not eating sugar everyday has stopped the vicious cycle of wanting more sugar and carbs. At 51, my pouchy stomach has finally gone away. I feel less foggy and tired all the time. Unfortunately, I ate sugar over the holiday and saw how easy it could be to get back into it. I’m impressed that you have been eating this way for five years! You go girl! I’m glad that you are back! I missed you while you were gone.
Me too! I started keto in nov. cheated a bit over Xmas and unfortunately tonight as well. Back on it tomorrow. I feel so much better when I’m doing keto/ low carb and no sugar
I can understand your giving up sugary stuff. I don’t make a habit of sweet stuff, I can live without it but I do love bread, but good stuff, not the commercial stuff. I eat things in moderation. I also hate exercising but I do love to walk. I did put a bit of weight on since going through menopause and am working on taking some of it off. I try to eat healthy but allow a treat every now and then. I am also cutting back on the alcohol consumption.
Girl. U just keep changing my life! First the concealer and under eyes and now SUGAR! Sigh. Im gonna do this. No more yo-yo’ing. Was healthy and fit. Then has my first child at 31. Second at 35. And haven’t slept since. I’m turning 38 but I’m done. No more!!! I’m done. Was clean for a month and then we just had Christmas and it’s Jan 3 and I haven’t excercised in 3 days and I’ve had sugar since Boxing Day. Thank you so much Anne. No more! I think u are �� right this is an addiction! Need to do what makes me feel good and strong, not tired and weak.
Thank you, I love your videos. I have an issue with my feet but, the pain is more in the heels and the middle of my feet. It happens off and on. Not while I’m standing though. It happens when I’m resting.
Me too, sugar is the devil… lol.. i truly crave sugar too and really limit the amount I eat but I am not that person that can eat one cookie, i want to eat the entire bag!!!
I have been doing a lifestyle change since October and have cut way back on sugars. I had 1 lousy cupcake last week around 7:00 in the evening good grief I was up till 5:00 in the morning. I couldn’t believe how my body had changed so much in a short amount of time. Big hugs and love. Xoxo ��
Thank you Eileen for this highly interesting video!
I have warm to very hot foot soles, which are red, kind of a burning sensation. At its worst when having a hot flash, so could there be a direct link between the two? Thank you kindly.
Hi I’m from UK and the lovely Manager in my Health food store where I was buying products to help me through menopause (on a particularly bad mood swing day!) alerted me to your site. I think you are wonderful. So easy to listen to, positive and upbeat and very informative. You give us hope that there is a solution to this chaos! I am so glad I have found your tutorials and have recommended you to my friends. I’m only 3 videos in and listen to you while I eat breakfast in the morning. God bless you and have a great day.
I so get you. Alcohol and sugar are the same substance metabolized in the body…both are sugar!! One is a plane and one is a train leading to the same destiny. I was a sugar addict for most of my life. I am 62 and don’t like it anymore. I don’t crave it at all. If I am at an event and do eat something with sugar, I feel terrible several days after. I think in 2019, I hate sugar 3 times. The cleaner I eat and better I feel, I run from it. I do get Trader Joe’s 100% cacao bars with zero sugar. No one in my family likes it because it is bitter. I really enjoy it. Never want or could go back to eating processed junk food. My health is my wealth.
Hi Anne, I’m addicted to carbs and sugar as well. I’m not over weight, but it’s something I do have to be conscious of. I’m curious I live here in central Florida too, how do you manage to walk in the heat?
I definitely applaud you!! I’m definitely a sugar addict!! I’m trying to do better it’s a constant battle.
This video brought back good memories when you and I collaborated on this same subject a year ago!!! We both are such sugar addicts and the pain is real my girl!!! Happy Friday. xo Laurie
Your tutorials are simply the best. They just make sense. Thanks
Hi Annie, thanks for the awesome video. I gave up sugar and Diet Coke completely 6 years ago and I lost weight, felt better, my skin was clear. I am/was completely addicted to sugar including straight out candy. It really hadn’t been a problem but after a hysterectomy my metabolism changed and I started gaining weight so I had to go cold turkey.
Sadly, I lost my son less then 2 years ago and grief has caused me to return to sugar. I’m currently trying to get off sugar once again. I know it won’t help my grief but it’s a start in giving me back some control. I enjoy walking too. It’s great for my mental health. Thanks for being a kind and good voice of reason on YouTube.
Oh girl, I know exactly what you are talking about!!! I am a little older than you so thankfully I have already gone through menopause!!! I feel you on the weight gain as well, but “in moderation” has always worked for me. I am like your husband and daughter, I can take sugar or leave it, I enjoy it but I have never craved it. My doctor gave me a 3 day diet to try and it worked for both me and my husband. Now I just incorporate different things in it and both of us have kept it off. I like to walk as well but had knee replacement surgery last year and I am having the other one done this year. It has slowed down my ability to walk but I still watch what we eat. When we go out, or at someones house I eat what I want, but I don’t do that everyday and it works! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!! XO
thank you so much it’s just perfect made it all clear ��������❤❤
Hi Anne! Happy New Year! You are a strong, committed, determined woman. It’s great that you took control of your health. I see a nutritionist who has helped me with food choices (it’s tough since I have Crohn’s disease which limits many “good” food choices) and having been on steroids at different times has been challenging as well. I eat things I enjoy in moderation and I’ve lost 24 lbs since July. I had also gained after having my thyroid removed…just another thing to add lol. I work out 6-7 days in my home by doing fitness-walking DVDs with HiiT training, light weights & resistance bands. I’ve gained more muscle and feel stronger than when I went into forced menopause. My stubborn area is my lower tummy and having gone through 6 abdominal surgeries (two from C-sections), my doctor says it’s more challenging to lose in that area so I keep working at it. I have about 25 more lb to lose…slow & steady works best for me. My blood levels are all good and my doctor is very proud. He never criticizes but always encourages me. Thank you for sharing your inspirational story Anne; what you did is amazing! ����
Natural is the best way to go, especially maca root https://www.etsy.com/listing/764567570/menopause-vagina-dry-moisture-wet-vagina
Thank you for getting back!!! I just started your videos but, it feels so good to have you here thanks from Rhode Island

Hi Anne! Happy New Year! Yes, aging is not an easy task! Unfortunately. Great video, thanks for sharing with us. I totally agree with your commentary. Carbs and sugar, are not a favorable vice, but every day…is a new opportunity to change your life!! xoxo Robin in Florida
Hi Anne lovely to see you back. I put 2 stone on during menopause. I changed what I ate. I cut out sugar and now eat more fruit and veg and lean meat and fish. It was more of a lifestyle change rather than a diet so it is second nature now. I have now lost it again. It took 18 months. Hubby and I love walking. We enjoy days out with our cameras and can walk 10k most times and I have just ordered some dumbbells as I really do need to work on my bingo wings �� ❤️ xx
I’m not even a big sweets person, but I know when I do eat them-I want more. And more. I enjoyed this video very much. I like the idea of treating the bad foods like a disease-you just can’t have them. It also helps me to treat myself as I would a child. Would you let your child eat a tub of ice cream and unlimited cookies? No.Take care of yourself as you would a baby. Can’t wait to see more about your weight/health journey.
Naturopathic DRs know so much more about hormones and how food can help regulate your hormones. They are a great resource and compliment to your MD.
Hi Anne. I love sweet things. Nothing is toooo sweet for me. Let’s say I’m a chockaholic. I am taking nuskin tegreen tablets. No sugar. No carbs. Yes it’s not easy. So for breakfast and lunch I have a protein shake. I eat fruit but still lots of coffee where I should be drinking water. I work non stop in the house. Every day all day. That is my exercise. Walking here is a no no. Way too dangerous. But also work in the garden. Glad this was your video. Gave me more inspiration to do what you are doing. Many thanks. I take my hat off to you. Glad you are back. Have a wonderful weekend and keep on walking. Till Monday. ������❤️
My addiction would be Potato chips. I can’t have just one. Walking is the best exercise for weight control that is low impact. Love walking the hills myself even with my 30 year old bunion, lol
Anne this is a fantastic Video.
I was always a “big plus size girl” especially after the birth of my son (he’s 28 now)
I didn’t start losing weight until I was diagnosed with diabetes and it became out of control.
Currently now I’m a UK size 12-14 but my chest has gone down to a size 16.
I cut out Carbs for a whole year it worked and now I try and minimize my carb intake regularly.
Still a diabetic but under control.
Just started watching your videos today. I already love you.:)
I am hitting 50 this year and going through the symptoms for the past few years. I love all the information you are giving us and I love your personality. I try to dress nicely in the office too. I am sooo glad I found you. Could you recommend any docs in the Los Angeles area? Thank you for everything!!
I am diabetic and have lost 30 pounds since March 2019. I am needing to lose another 20 and am finding it hard hit a plateau. I need to increase my physical activity. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing more about how you eat
Hi Anne, I totally get the sugar addiction. I also had to be drastic regarding weight loss. I am 58 and while I lost weight years ago in my 40’s (WW) during menopause. Everything, and more returned. Because I, too am addicted to sugar and carbs, I turned to the Keto Diet. It removes all sugar and all delicious carbs. The benefit is that you can eat lots of fats, like butter and bacon and avocados, etc., but you have to use sugar substitutes like stevia and a few others. The hardest part is giving up pizza and pasta. Keto is getting some traction, so now there are some pizza places that offer Keto friendly pizza crust, but generally, my only carbs come from vegetables. The good part of Keto is that you can still eat chocolate (and drink wine or have a cocktail!), but it is sugar free dark chocolate and it is very limited. I have lost 33 lbs, at this point, so I do allow a “cheat meal” once in a while. I like Keto for the same reason you like your eating style. It totally removes your sugar cravings and that really helps me stay in control. I was a lifetime member of WW for years, but every time I reached my goal, I would fall back into the sugar trap and gain everything back. Just a cute story about “rewarding yourself.” My mom went on WW and every time she lost 1/2 a pound, she would “reward herself” with a jelly donut. It took her 3 years to lose 20 lbs. LOL
I just started a Keto diet, it’s tough but seeing results. Sugar and carbs were my vice ��
HELLO ANNE. HAPPY NEW YEAR. I MISSED YOU!! You look amazing. I actually gained 35 lbs. and it’s from yrs hormones and meds (steroids) I have lupus so the meds hold weight. Well, I said ENOUgh!! Now I am battling. I wa always a size 4. Now. (Cough) size 12. I hate it. Everyone said I was too thin. Well. This is insane and I won’t have it. It hurts me more. But sugar. Yes. It’s my thing. I am trying!!
I would love to see a video where you give us some sample menus of what you eat in a day. I need to get away from salt and sugar also. You have motivated me to focus on better eating habits.
This is one of those times that I miss my home state of Florida…its so cold here in Illinois. Brrr
Absolutely Annie! When you stop the sugar and in my case sugar and carbs you DO NOT CRAVE them….and when you do have sugar for like a special occasion or something it’s like an explosion for your body with the bloat and GI discomfort….which in turn just clarifies to me that sugar is literal poison for the body turning on an inflammatory response…..If I eat a pasta dish(which I love) I feel sooo bloated for the next 24 hrs…it’s CRAZY….
I just stay away from that stuff for the most part….when I eat chocolate it’s 70% or higher dark chocolate….I really like it and it staves off any sweet tooth I may encounter(sugar/carb addiction is a real thing) Thanks for your experience sharing❤️❤️❤️
Happy New year too!!!
I think you are right about sugar free if I go very low carb I feel very ill after a few weeks because I am on a large dose of ssri antidepressants and they effect carb metabolism can cause weight gain so some people may find very low carb/sugar makes them feel dreadful but for most of the population itis the way to go well worth the abstinence which is easier over time love elaine Lincolnshire uk
I am the same, if I have one bite of dessert I am going to eat the whole thing, and more. I have to stay away from it. I also do not do pasta, mostly due to gluten. You stated it perfectly, a smoker can’t have just one cigarette. A sugar addict can’t have just a bite. I unfortunately failed New Years day and am just getting back to my detox phase. No sugar for a good 2 weeks, no bread. I didn’t notice a weight gain after menopause, but I was only 38. I did notice a decline in muscle tone, and my weight shifted.
I love what you are doing!! I do want to know how you have such beautiful skin!!!
For me sugar wasn’t the issue, its been the salty, bready foods. I cannot have chips in my house. AT ALL. I will eat an entire bag, no matter the size. Even if I think I don’t like it! I can keep tortilla chips in the house. Those hold no appeal to me in bingeing. When I was in my early 40’s, I bought the book Sonoma Diet. Because it wasn’t a diet. It was all about retraining your taste buds and portion sizes. That was the first thing that helped me. It taught me to how to make healthy meals that my entire family would eat. And to this day they ask for when home. Real, whole food, with flavor. It’s the flavor part that is key. I eat less and am satisfied. I started walking every day. As I was turning 50, I started noticing weight creeping on ever so slightly. I started paying attention to HOW I was eating, HOW my body was feeling. My entire life I’ve always wanted to skip breakfast. I tested out intermittent fasting. For 2 yrs I’ve managed to keep the weight off now and my body feels great. I generally eat my first something between 12 & 1. Scrambled eggs, a bowl of black bean soup, nothing heavy. Just a little fuel. Maybe there’s a snack of fruit or nuts between then and dinner. Depends on the day. I then eat a healthy dinner of protein and a veg. Rarely dessert. I’ve just really learned to pay attention to my body. I know when I’m needing more fruits or veggies, or when I need more protein, sometimes my body says it needs a few more carbs. Now I only really do it Mon-Fri. Weekends the only real difference is the time. We might have a later dinner out with friends etc. About 6 yrs ago I also added yoga to my day. Some days it’s only 20 min, other’s it’s an hour. One thing I have learned in life is we all need to be paying attention to our body. It will tell us what it needs if we are truly in tune with ourselves. We just need to listen. We’re all different. The one thing that is the same, the ability to listen to our bodies and what it’s telling us.
Thanks for sharing your story. Yes, you have to be ready to make the change in order for things to really happen. I’ve lost 60 pounds in the past year and a half in menopause. High protein and low carb under the care of an endocrinologist have been the trick for me. I have 60 more to go. So happy that you found what works for you. Happy New Year, Anne. xx, Carla
WoW,WoW,WoW!!! just got my book now following along with the tutorials! Let the empowerment begin!
Hot FLASH: Sudden warm sensation in the head, neck and chest.
Hot FLUSH: Profuse perspiration and heat radiating from the body that disrupt sleep.
(Study Guide for Maternity & Women’s Health care. 10th Edition: Lowdermilk. Chapter 6 Reproductive System Concerns.)
Happy New Year!! Thank you for sharing how you are fighting weight gain during menopause. I’ve always been pretty small while being able to eat most everything. I’ve also been a gym rat most of my life. At 52, I’m not as interested in going to the gym quite the way I used to and I’m finding I can’t eat the same either. I guess I’m ‘pre-menopause’ as I still have cycles. Migraines are a real problem right now and my cycles are semi-sporadic. Just a tough time for women! Anyway, thank you for sharing. I’d love to hear more-recipes, etc. God bless!! And have a great day. ��
I went on the keto diet and in 8 weeks I lost 20 pounds and then Halloween hit and I have been back to my old eating habits.. I’ve gained back about 5 pounds for me it’s time to go back on the ketoo diet it was the only thing that worked I am 54 years old.. And even though I haven’t gained much of the weight back yet I feel awful sitting in front of the TV at night feeding my face and 2 bags of candy I have the same issues that you have I totally understand!
Love your channel! There are still many traditional Catholic women who don’t use birth control. I am 54 years old. My husband and I practiced NFP throughout our reproductive years and had our 4th child at age 42.
The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know. That’s one of my favorite quotes. It’s certainly true for me, and that’s why I’m an eternal student. Teaching is another type of studenthood. Thank you all for sharing.
I am sooo addicted to sugar! I can’t seem to stop. I gave tried but with no success. ��
It’s so amazing to me how much you at you and I are alike always have enjoyed sugar then very addicted to it but now I have to watch it just started dabbling in its not Quito but trying to go a more low carb and I am incorporating alternative sweets because I just if this point just feel like I couldn’t give up sugar altogether really look forward to all of these new videos that you are doing have a great day
Do you eat yogurt or oatmeal? I a m so afraid of failing again, that I am having trouble starting
Just subscribed and liked. I have invisible ankle swelling and burning feet every morning as I rise up from bed and at 5pm very weekday since I turned 48. My feet officially hate me. Thank you for connecting peri menopause to feet. This is a real situation. My mom, 75, has arthritis has it too. I also sweat in my feet. ��
A in Japan
Thank you so much for the information. I needes to hear that.
Sorted out some issues for me, thank you Eileen, very informative as always….
What’s the Menopause support.? And what you would recommend? And what’s nettle tea?
Most regarded Eileen always extremely informed and knowledgeable. Thank you
So lucky I’ve never had feet problems with the menopause, but drinking water to keep myself hydrated makes me really bloated ��
Never would have thought there was a connection between feet issues
and menopause. Very interesting. Thank you.
Hello mam can i ask.becoz lately before my period come i experience the hotflushes,my heart palpitate and feel nervous and im going crazy that time and the night i cannot sleep its hard to get my sleep…thanks madam.
Lordy, I too am a sugar addict. Not with sugary drinks. I am a water drinker. But chocolate, cookies pastries. I can’t have just one. I am working on giving up the sugar this month.
Thank you so much for your videos they are really helpful ����
Yes!! This is so me also!! I have also had issues with weight and sugar my whole life! In fact I’ve had a love/hate relationship with food my whole life! Even though I would feel bad I still ate the food that was the worst for me! However, I was always able to diet it off or exercise it away when I was younger. But when menopause hit… wow! Belly fat and aching and no energy has hit with a vengeance. Thank you for this video. This is my goal. Not diet so much as eat for my health for the long term. I have always loved exercising but it has become harder as I’ve gotten older. Now I need to eat for my overall health. This was a great video! Thank you!!
It’s not just estrogen. It’s the ratio of estrogen to progesterone.
Gail Sheehy had started the conversation about Menopause in the early 90’s, but the 2002 cancer scare drove everybody away. When I started peri-menopause, everybody just said to forget about hormones because of the cancer risk. Now I am I hearing that the cancer risk isn’t nearly as big as they thought back then, but women and doctors are still afraid.
My mom goes through these guys for menopause supplements. She says They are amazing https://tinyurl.com/yb7h7rp2
An enjoyable video ( although the corpus luteum produces progesterone). I am 56, normal menstruation and not yet showing any signs of even early menopause. I am unable to find anything on late onset menopause; any ideas for why this occurs would be welcome.

Hi, is it possible to have menopause in the early 30s? I’m just 32 and haven’t had my period for over a year, but there are times I had small bleeding and then go away. I also read that menopause is predominantly the reason for breast cancer. I’m so scared & anxious I might hit menopause already. I started my treatment with Planet Ayurveda. I took “Menopause Care Pack” for an ayurvedic and natural solution to face problems in menopause.
My
aunt was going through her premenopausal stage. She was having night sweats,
irritation, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, headache, sleep disturbance, anxiety,
depression. One day she discussed her problem with one of her friend. She
guided her about Planet Ayurveda, she visited there, consulted Dr. Vikram
Chauhan, Dr. Vikram prescribed her with ”Menopause care pack”. My aunt is
much better now.
Really great. Very good informations for husbands who love their wonderful wives.
I so admire your discipline in refusing all sweets. I cut back but no, I haven’t given up ice cream on weekends or special occasions. You look so good in the photo with the tank top and shorts! What a great figure you have. Just curious how tall you are? I read how sugar is so bad for skin aging because of glycation process, and that is really disturbing if we want to stave off aging. Your skin looks great. Thanks for this video, and I wish you a happy 2020. ��
I’m 21 now but I was diagnosed with this at 18. I had to do chemo for a cancerous tumor I had and the type of chemo affected my fertility. It was so so so awful to experience. I could never sleep (hot flashes), I was almost always numb or disassociating, and the only true emotion I felt was anger. Thank GOD I was in the position where my doctors were looking for this type of behavior/changes. I eventually got put onto birth control to maintain a normal balance of estrogen in my body. I’m so sorry for everyone out there who has their own battles with this. ❤️
Why is estrogen spelled eostrogen and oestrogen???? Is groom Australia? Do they do that there?????
The sustained high levels of FSH from the anterior pit during menopause (which is supportive of the diagnosis of menopause) is because reduced/ absence of follicular cells in the ovaries means less oestrogen and progesterone that normally inhibit the secretion of FSH.
correct?
however in your video on the menstrual cycle you say the opposite. that at low levels oestrogen inhibits GnRH and so inhibits release of FSH and LH and only at HIGH levels of OESTROGEN it stimulates the release of LH/FSH.
I agree 100% Anne. I’m a chocoholic. I have to have chocolate and sweets every day… and a lot really A LOT! For now my body somehow burns all these calories and I stay slim but I know that’s so unhealthy. It’s like I’m disrespecting my body. I remember I stopped one day (it was many years ago and I didn’t eat a single cookie for 2 years and I didn’t crave sugar anymore) but then one day I started again. (It was because I was with a friend and… etc. But my point is that you’re absolutely right. The only was to stop is to STOP and not eat even one little piece of chocolate… I have to push myself to stop again. Awesome video!!!
The one thing I am sure of is that there is a direct relationship between my night sweats and the kind of food I eat
I also think the medical community doesnt care to learn and research anything in regards to peri menopause and menopause. So they stick to old treatment plans which is super frustrating and really sad. Hence why you need to be your own advocate and do the research yourself. Perfect example i just went to by obgyn and having heavy periods now more frequent every 2 wks.. im 43 and asked if i could get my hormones tested. HE said “oh no u dont need that hormones go up and down whats the point” how sad for us all women in the world.. thats what most ob gyns say. Unless u are willing to go to a homeopath or private doc where u pay cash those docs have time
U r video n teaching technique all r fab sir but i want to need videos on more topic like
1-contraception
2fabroid/ polyp
3 puberty
Etc…….
I wish I was not so shy. I would love making videos, but I am just too shy. I always chicken out
I shared with my 23 year old daughter this morning about you and how positive I feel about being a “Menopausal woman” and that it can be the best time of your life, if your properly educated. I used to feel down about getting older and going through all the changes,but not now! Thanks for the empowering. I’m going to positively prepare my other 2 adult daughters too for menopause. ��
Thank you you’ve just helped me passed my exam for this afternoon:)
Annie Missed you lady! Hope your holidays were the best! Soooo glad you are back! XOXOXO Leslie
FSH stimulates PRIMARY follicles not primordial follicles. Primordial follicles develop into primary follicles independent of FSH due to mechanisms that are still not fully known.
Nice vid! Have you ever tried the Fat Blaze Factor (do search on google)? Ive hear some extraordinary stuff about it and my friends brother burned lots of unwanted fats with it(:
as u mentioned that women gain weight during menopause so wouldnt that cause an increase in oestrogen production because fat cells secrete oestrogen?
besides my question, excellent video!!!!!!!!
Thankyou for making this video and helping me for the exam. You’re da bessttt
A year ago I said enough with being overweight. I stared on Keto and that has been the only meal plan that has given me results. I now need to my my bum and start walking again. Happy New Year����❤️
I wish we had teachers like you at our college����
Just too good.��
Thank you!
I chose to give up sugar on Christmas. First few days was challenging with Christmas sweets everywhere around me. Over a week later I feel amazing. No sugar cravings. We can do this! ❤️
As a woman, and with due respect of what your trying to offer to others; I think you should shut up.
Menopause symptomsfrequent urination, sweats 4minute head chest neck, joint pain, and weight gain! Wow those are identical to all reported opioid withdrawal symptoms, I know I had to come off morphine after a surgery and a year in pain after taking opioids, pure hell, but that’s the exact symptoms I had plus vomiting, otherwise just the same, maybe more intense but after six months they get better. God bless
I love your videos so much, thank you!! I do have a small question, though you switch spellings between Oestrogen and Eostrogen… are they still the same thing, or are you talking about Estrogens in the latter case…?
Good video! one little thing at 5:58… the principle hormone produced by the corpus luteum is progesterone, not estradiol.
What a great video to watch this morning. Your passion is contagious!
Dr Taylor! Where have you been all my life?! Wow! You are exactly the strong woman I need to listen to as I now embark on my new journey into menopause…. I wish you had been my ob/gyn but I’m glad I found you….. I’m currently watching all your videos in order, printed out the outline and my worksheet…… and will be ordering your book on Amazon. Thank you for the transparency on this topic that is so confusing and no one wants to talk about…. looking forward to becoming a fully empowered and strong menopausal woman! ��
Nice to watch your video. I resting at home..recovery from such horrible surgery. I think invited my menopause came instantly without choice. So mad to be woman. Too much suffering. Me 57 age..perfect hormones and menopause refused to arrive.. lots too much blood and survive by blood transfusion. Ridiculous life
My girly girl bits were surgically removed because of a potentially cancerous mass. I was not for off from menopause, so at almost 51, I’m full blown menopause now! I’ll be buying the book and watching the videos a few at a time.
Very helpful and interesting, thank you!
What’s your opinion on sugar-free chocolate (sweetened by stevia), like Lily’s?
Dear Barbie! I am 44years old, still not in menopause, but I´ve been looking for information for some time in order to prepare. You cannot believe how happy I am to have found you! I am from Brazil, and hope sometime in the future you and your husband will spend one year here!
I started watching your videos 3 weeks ago but I’ve finally started watching from the beginning! Thank you!
Hope you had a wonderful holiday Anne �� and Happy New Year!�� for me, sugar and gluten are the demons I eliminate from my daily diet..when i say sugar, also carbs that covert to sugar..yes, I’ll cheat for an occasion but, i definitely feel the difference in terms of energy ��and just how my tummy feels��..its a lifestyle for me not just keeping my weight down but also, type 2 diabetes runs in my family.��♀️
I couldn’t agree more. I cut out sugar and processed carbs and dropped 30 lbs. Age 54.
Interesting and informative channel! And interesting lifestyle!
I had a gastric bypass surgery. About 4 or 5 years ago. I lost about a 120 lbs and have kept it off without really trying. The secret is my stomach is much smaller. The only issues is that I need to take EXSPENSIVE vitamins and have to keep track of my protein intake. I also need to exercise to maintain muscle mass. However, before having the surgery, my weight loss clinic had me take 6 months of classes to teach me gastric bypass surgery diets. After the surgery and lots of attention to what I eat it became second nature. Also, when I eat too much of bad things, I get sick with stomach aches and nausea and sometimes diarrhea to remind me those foods are a no, no! But I still eat a couple of bites without any problems. One day a co-worker told me I had a nice figure. I haven’t heard anything like that since in my late 20’s. This was after having a baby and getting married.
I grew up in Barcelona:-) Been living in Kyoto for over 20 years now, though. Learning what you are teaching is the most important thing in my life at the moment. Thank you!
Just can’t get enough of you, you are fantastic. My mom is 82 looks amazing and she was on HRT for at about 20 years. I am not on anything but waiting to see how to manage it xxxxx
Live a different country every year! Great. Should start a video on that too. I will fiat to subscribe. Would like to get career and family advice discussions from Dr Barbie! I just so impressed with her retiring “early “ and do the things she enjoy her way.
I am definitely empowered with the education you are giving! Thank you!
Barbara Taylor M.D. you are awesome for doing this. I got pneumonia and went to the emergency room was prescribed both Amoxicilin and a Zpak to be taken concurrently or at the same time and subsequently billed $4000. Well I only make $12 an hour and it didn’t get paid. So then I picked up my daughter’s car speaker not realizing how much it weighed and immediatly dropped it on my foot. It smashed the smaller bones on top of my foot and broke my 5th metatarsol in 2 places, that time I was turned away from the emergency room with no medical care whatsoever not even a cast. I ordered a walking boot and a wheelchair from ebay and in 6 weeks I healed anyway. My foot is a little different but the bones are healed and I can walk again. Thus began my aversion to the medical community. I was hoping you were going to tell us what to do when medical care is unavailable and I was at first disappointed. But I have seen enough of your videos to go ahead and start from the beginning to get all the correct knowledge to work with. Thank you so much for caring about all people enough to do this.
You are right, menopause is seen as just a phase that gets so dismissed by professionals.
wish I would have known you and 1987 when I was 17 and undiagnosed with endometriosis until age 26. �� I went through 10 doctors and was told everything in the book except given a diagnosis. And the last lady got it. And she performed a laparoscopy and I had a baby 3 years later ☺️
I am having trouble with my menopause boobs. I have spent my working years getting up at 3 am and exercising to DVD’S since age 22. I had little tiny bloops of nothing until age 40 and I just woke up one morning and almost had a heart attack. Progesterone cream on my boobs fixed that for a number of years. I am now 58 and it no longer works and I am trying to figure out bras and my Mom passed the year I was 40. I don’t understand this. I could have used these things at 25, but now they are useless and hurt my back. I am having major trouble purchasing bras to support these useless lumps on my chest. You are wonderful for all the good info. I am sure I am not the only person having trouble with this issue
Thanks alot…
I am in my late 30s….so informative:):)
U r such a blessing..again love the way u talk:):)
All of your videos are great! I had a great aunt who lived to be 102 and cooked her own food lived in her own home and wrote her own letters. So now that I am using the Estradiol/ Climara patch I have bene told Monistat any any other anti fungal is very bad but not in those words. I have reoccurring yeast infections ow to I treat this naturally?
I am desperate and itchy! Will pay for advice. You can do consultations and change people.
I’ve been watching you for a while and finally decided to go back to video one and watch you all the way through from the start. ��Thank you!
Really enjoyed this video. Menopause is now clearer. Thank you
Thank you, I feel so different about menopause now I feel positive. Love your hat ��
Thank you for supplying this information…I’m watching your videos and enhancing my knowledge on what’s going on with me…I want to tell you what g
Happened at my last yearly appointment, a comment from my obgyn…I’m a woman at the time age 50 with a partial hysterectomy. I walk into the exam room am my Dr says…well the warranty on your ovaries are running out..and gave me no more information. I left the appointment dumfounded and scared. Thank you for this information…education and arming me with knowledge
At 51, (perimenopause) I’ve just discovered I have Lipedema… No wonder I carry so much weight in my legs, butt, and oh,… the painful swelling! Here was my answer to what’s wrong with my body (beyond just the MS and Fibro).
I’ve gone Keto and do manual lymphatic massage 3 times a day… lost 19 lbs so far in about 2 months. Long way to go, but it’s definitely helping.
So happy I found you!❤️what a wonderful help you are❤️thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy New Year Anne! Another helpful, practical, sincere video. Thank you! I love your hair everything about it! Could you please do a video on your highlights and colour? You did a great styling one, with products and tools, but I think your colour is perfect too! Thanks!
I found you via Hot & Flashy and am so happy I have! Thank you for making these videos! I’m using them to teach my 16 year old daughter and her friends at their (Catholic) school starting with sharing the factors in their control which may contribute to risk factors for heart attacks, osteoporosis, breast cancer, etc.etc. I work in medical education (I am director of our simulated patient program) and now I’m wishing I could bring you to our AMWA group to teach our medical + PA students about caring for their patients and getting them to have happy & healthy lives during periand post-menopause. I’ll start scheming. You rock.
Hello from Costa Rica!!
Just found you and I am sooo glad! I am 54 years old and starting to miss my period and experiencing my first hot flashes. OMG I knew it was coming!
I want to learn as much as I can, so will be watching every single video.
I do need the handout though, where can I find it?
Thank you so much for these videos and looking forward to seeing them all!
Learning so much with this video…thanks a ton. Very helpful.
I feel a few pounds creeping on since I started on Tamoxifen (although to be fair menopause is right around the corner for me-just can’t tell for sure with the medication) and I know I need to give up the sugar. Okay that makes two things done-buying make up and sugar.:) The thing you said that really put it into perspective is how you sugar doesn’t work for your body just like certain skin care doesn’t work anymore. I love that and it is a great way to put it so you don’t feel like your depriving yourself. Happy New Year!
Thank you.. just what I needed! Where do I find the downloads for the videos so I can follow along?
Found you through +Anna Garrett and +Dominique Sachse:) Just downloaded the handoout and worksheet from your website and am ready to go:) lol I love your style and common-sense approach to menopause. Although you are extremely intelligent, you are never arrogant. <3 I also like how you promote true self-awareness and individual decision making... that is rare in this bossy world. haha
I cut back drastically on sugar three or four years ago in order to lower my blood pressure. I took off 20 pounds in the three months and have easily kept it off. Like you, I get addicted to sugar if I start. I also walk daily about three to four miles.
I had a tubaligation at 30. I went into early Menapause unknowingly at 36 when I started skipping cycles. I was concerned since I had always been regular and on time. My gun prescribed some sort of hormone pill without any kind of blood work to check my levels. After taking the first pill I thought I was dying as I felt faint and couldn’t stand or hardly move. I threw them away. I am now 53 and haven’t had a cycle in 12 or so years. Biggest question is I wonder if the tubaligation had anything to do with it.
I got 34 years of mensturating from 12 to 46 years. when I told my daughter in law im in menopausal state she says she wished she could stop making kids. and I told her hell no just keep popping them out while you can to stay alive. you wont want to be in my shoes. yip I tell everyone I’m in menopausal state now and have a laugh im not like the old days where it was taboo to talk about how you were coping. I’m taking time out to be informed so I know what I’m going through
Hi! Thank you so much for this information video! Dr. Garrett is wonderful! I plan on ordering her book! I was wondering if you’ve heard of Napro Technology? Dr. Garrett said so many things that reminded me of it. Its an approach to helping women with infertility, periomenopause, menopause, postmenopause, hormone imbalance, painful periods, understanding your cycle, etc.. I’m just mentioning it in case you or your viewers were interested in exploring it, or possibly doing a show on it? Here is an article I found that could explain it in detail. https://naturalwomanhood.org/fertility-awareness-naprotechnology-natural-solution-endometriosis-pcos-infertility-womens-health-062018/. My OB/GYN specializes in this. For women trying to conceive, it offers natural alternatives that are not artificial. There are several doctors all over the country that practice this. It truly respects a women’s fertility. Thanks for your channel! Love your recipes as well!
You’re so right I entered menopause totally unprepared, uneducated & uncomfortable. Thank heaven someone is ready to talk about it! THANK YOU for sharing your passion with us. I don’t do videos but I’ll be spreading the word about your channel! Susanne
Just a pinch of sugar flips a switch in my brain and I will eat sugary treats till I feel sick. To avoid this…every day, sometimes twice a day, I add cocoa powder and soy or almond milk to my pot of decaf green tea. It’s a tasty treat that satisfies me and has helped me turn my nose up to sugary treats for the last five months. There is zero sugar and zero fat in cocoa powder. I have always walked and tap danced, but due to injury, had to give up dancing for the time being. I still walk almost daily, strength train 2x/week. I must have accountability so I pay a personal trainer for a 30 minute session one time each week. This has helped to keep me honest during the rest of the week. Thank you for sharing AnneP. Peace.
I know for me “this phase” is more challenging as a woman who had later pregnancies and experience their menopausal years with children going through Puberty, while friends in our “age range” already have grandchildren…my ‘boat’ seems to be on a ‘lonely cruise!’:-/
Weight was never really a problem for me until I hit 50. Over the years my weight fluctuated somewhat but I was always able to drop the extra pounds easily, even after giving birth to three children. Needless to say I was pretty frustrated when those extra pounds refused to budge with what I thought was a healthy diet and plenty of exercise. A friend had mentioned the Paleo diet to me about a year ago but I thought it sounded too radical. I ran into her again about 6 months ago. She looked amazing and told me she was feeling great. So I decided to give it a try. At first the diet seemed a little limited but after I started using this Paleo cookbook I became easy and fun. The pounds dropped away easily and my energy levels shot up. I also felt like the mental fogginess that had come with menopause had lifted, If you’re interested here’s a link http://bit.ly/1eAtPT5
Hi Barbie, where I can printout those 80 pages and work sheet. Thanks
Good lord Barbie! This is the fifth video of yours I’ve watched and I’m still waiting for some take home info you promise about managing menopause. Please deliver the info you keep teasing about and stop talking to women like we are idiots. Over enunciating simple words such as total and hysterectomy is condescending. I’m sure you have a wealth of information to share but your delivery style is loosing me. Get to the meat of your seminar. We are busy women who don’t have time to listen to your 12 hour seminar.. Please give us the information to empower us.
Thank you so very much for presenting so much valuable information.. I can’t express my gratitude enough.
I have been dealing with this since I have been 36 and I’m only 40 now. Thanks for sharing:)
Anne I’m 63 and have always struggled with my weight but these past 3 years it has been awful! I am the highest I have ever been and I KNOW I have a sugar addiction so I am listening carefully to what you say. I have always likened myself to an alcoholic in that a little chocolate is too much and chocolate all day long is not enough. I will be waiting to hear more about the way that you handled this addiction. That’s truly what it is for me.
I am really enjoying your videos. Thank you. I have felt fortunate because I have made a smooth transition into menopause. I took hormones when I was young (in my 20s) and now take levothyroxine. Do you think it had any bearing on my menopause?
Hello!! New to your channel and to the changes happening recently-breast tenderness, more emotional and a few new lbs hangin around below my bra on my back side��What do you think of chaste berry to help my progesterone decrease?!? Thanks❤️��
Go to your gyn and you’ll see posters and pamphlets all over the place about birth control, pregnancy, and std’s. All of that is important, but it’s clear their focus is not on menopause. The drs really know very little. They are in a hurry to treat symptoms with the standard fare and quickly get back to the focus patients: pregnant women.
I am very thankful to have watched these tutorials all the way through and am now going back over certain ones. Changed my world and made me confident in how I plan to manage my menopause! I’m using a completely different approach than I thought I would before I started these tutorials.
I wish doctors were forced to watch these. I realize they are too busy and doing the best they can, but menopausal women get the short end of the stick.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for starting your channel. I’m grateful there are people like you, brave enough. One little thing: Franco was a dictator, not a ‘usual ruler’, via a coup d’etat and civil war, he managed to stay in power for 35 years.
You make me want to cry……tears of joy. I’m so very happy and thankful I found your site! Keep up the good work
