I stumbled upon this doctor’s page and I couldn’t wait to share this content with my wife. She is suffering from mostly all these menopausal symptoms described in the videos and it’s so hard for me to watch as I know she’s suffering.
Her cholesterol is extremely high and vitamin D levels are near zero with no diet changes whatsoever. Hot flashes, pain during sex, loss of sexual interest, weight gain, headaches…you name it, she’s got it.
We now have a place to start and I’m bound a determined to stand by her and see to it she gets the help she needs.
Thank you to all the women on this thread as I have learned so much reading all your comments. Hang in there ladies and I am glad you all have somewhere to go for help and support!
💕🌟
Thank you. It's nice to hear a man's perspective and see that he stands by, and supports his wife. Much success to her (and to you).❤😊
Thank you sir 🙏
Have you got a like-mind friend ? 🥺
I'm glad for your wife; she's got you. (My husband's dead)
I live in Spain, and have asked our family doctor for estrogen. He's said no every time. It wouldn't help me to change doctor; the policy is the same: no estrogen to menopausal women. I now have a sort of a beard and moustage, have gained weight (a lot!) and feel depressed. I don't feel like myself. At all.
Maybe the worst is the facial hair and no sleep at night.
I still wish that I'd been given the estrogen...
I'm getting more and more furious. I had a female gyn who referred me to a female gyn oncologist for a possible ovarian tumor. It turned out to be a giant cyst, but they removed it anyway. I didn't want a hysterectomy unless the "tumor" was cancerous. After they learned the ovary had a cyst and not cancer, they asked my husband if they could do a hysterectomy while I was incapacitated under general anesthesia. Thankfully, he is my strongest advocate and refused this deceptive, malpractice-worthy act. Then, they didn't offer me any form of HRT after removing half of my hormone-producing organs. At 60, I have struggled with things that I didn't even know were low-estrogen symptoms since I was 39!!! I'm most worried about my bones and muscles. I must let this anger go because it isn't helping me. But I'm on fire to teach my daughters (39, 41) and stepdaughters (45, 45) how to advocate for their female health.
Oh, and immediately after this unneeded oophorectomy, my cholesterol shot up to 252.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my god! The fact that they even ask your husband if they could do a hysterectomy on you while incapacitated is enough to file a lawsuit!! I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Hope things are going better.
I got an unnecessary ORIF wrist operation from the trainee surgeon.
I needed a cast... that's all.
Two surgeries.. one to put the plate in ..and one to get it taken out.
Surgeons are the lowest of the low in ethics.
Don’t blame you one bit suzyq!!!
The way the health system treats women is horrendous! And sadly it’s women of all ages!!!
I’ve been hopping around from doctor to doctor, specialist to specialist, spending tons of time and money for 20 YEARS!!
And guess what? Not an ounce of help. Not one single thing to help me at all- not a single thing. 20 YEARS!!!
Horrendous!!
Ok thats nuts. Why didn't you get a biopsy or a stained mri ... they can tell the difference between q cyst and a cancer... thats mental.. I thought since usa people pay so much money for health they got better. There's no way I'd let somone cut my bits open without a confirmed cancer.
I do take Rosuvestatin but my cholesterol was still elevated. I started estrogen therapy and supplements with Vit D, Magnesium, Potassium etc. My cholesterol looks fabulous now. My good cholesterol could be higher but it's still good and my triglycerides are good. It makes a difference. My body changed completely in the few yrs prior to therapy and I had a heart attack. Menopause is no joke and I wish Doctors would take it more seriously.
Oh my gosh THANK YOU! My cholesterol skyrocketed and I didn’t change a thing with my diet! The ONLY change is menopause. 😢
"sky rocket" is exaggerative. Let's be real and practical. Another cause of cholesterol rising is the cv shot, just so people know.
Do you think this is also the case for post menolausal women?
Same. And can’t do HRT since I’m a breast cancer survivor times three.
@loeserlegal Me as well! It's terrible not being able to take anything to help regulate hormones. I did try premensil ( with red clover) for a month. Not 100% sure it's safe for me, but it did seem to take the edge off . Just gotta find something to regulate the cholesterol and weight gain. Have you found anything natural that helps?
@@searchingforsigns8445 i’m way past it now. Turned 70 in January. I really haven’t had any weight gain - still at 97 :-) but I do still run and work out. And eat pretty clean (whole food plant based no oil).
My Vit D was 9. For months i thought i was going to die at any moment. I was obese and going thru menopause. Corrected my gut by intermittent fasting.....healthy all over now.
Congratulations:) Are you taking probiotics what regimen helped most?
Probiotics daily, no. Tho' I will have Kefir, once monthly. My energy at 54 is boundless now. People remark that I look younger than my age now. I eat a pretty healthy variety of foods at meal time but within a 1 hr period. I vary up bi weekly on my eating window so my body does not adapt to my intermittent fasting routine. Most of all, I watch my ingestion of sugar or lack now thereof. I take 2500units Vit D with K2 daily with my meal. I exercise 5 out 7 days a week. 2 kettlebell days, 3 cardio days such as treadmill incline (at 15) walking forward and backward (slow pace but what a burn in the glutes and quads, try it), followed by stretching. I will be on a Vit D regimen forever, and that's OK. Genetics loads the gun, but Lifestyle pulls the trigger.
Hi thank you for the information.
Congrats! That’s amazing! I won’t shut up about intermittent fasting these days. It truly is the magical cure few doctors talk about.
@@danielle5507 can you explain how you change it up?
I am 35 and my doctor and I have been struggling to figure out why I have elevated cholesterol and vitamin D deficiency. This is very helpful.
Is your doctor a male?
@@karynroeseler2652 she is a female.
It seems to go together as you get older, I'm a male and have the same issues
Watch Dr. Barbara O'Neil lectures about mineral,vitamin deficiency & estrogen issues
I had a vitamin D defiency for 14 years at least, and in spite of medication over that 14 year period, it wouldn't get higher than low 30's and always went down..the last med I was on (Calccitriol) for a year took me from high 20's to 13..b/c of the low vit D I developed secondary hyperparathyroidism...I'd said I'm done...started doing some reading and I took 10,000 IU of D3 daily, plus K2 m-k7 125 mcg and in 3 months time I was at 67...I also took magnesium citrate, and calcium (from lactose free milk b/c I'm lactose intolerant and refuse to take calcium supplements b/c the calcium ends up, not in your bones, but blocking arties) . In Feb it'll be 6 months since my last labs...can't wait to see what my labs show for vit D...I've been taking 5,000 IU of D3 a day plus K2 mk-7 since...hoping to get up in the high 70's to mid 80's. The key to my success was taking D3 plus K2, magnesium and calcium. No thanks to any doctor either.
I am 51 have just missed my first period. I’m starting to notice sleep disturbances, some mild hot flashes, constant fatigue, and brain fog. I wish I lived close to you and you could be my doctor.❤
once? But 49 I think I've missed 2 or 3 now. I need estrogen but doc won't help me til I haven't had a period in a full year 😢
I always had good lab results on everything. Overall healthy. Balanced weight. Never really into junk food. Etc.
As soon as menopause began, I started with high cholesterol without changing my diet for the worse. Even started with high liver enzymes (278) the doctor I saw(gastroenterologist) did not have a clue. I started to figure it out on my own in 2016. Thanks to doctors like you women are getting help. Doctors still don’t have a clue at the offices. I trust doctors on social media more. They have figured it out. Thank you ❤
Take Red Rice Yeast.
because of a blood clot back when i was 27 i can't get HRT...and my hot flashes ARE INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE NOW WHAT DO I DO???????????
@@lisas4453you have to modify your diet and lifestyle. more healthy protein, fats, less processed foods/carbohydrates, intermittent fasting, strength training, etc
At 43, I went to my female GP and asked if I could be perimenopausal. A few missed periods to the point where I did a pregnancy test. Told I was too young for menopause, I'm fine. Two years later, I physically feel different. Very mild heat differences during the day...could I be perimenopausal? Again, nope too young. At 47y 10m I had my last period. No hormones, no help with hot flashes and sleep deprivation. I turned to the internet and bought Black Cohosh which gave me back some sleep and night time comfort. Now at 53 my cholesterol has shot up almost 50pts and I have gained 40lbs I could not afford to gain. I lift weights and mostly watchbwhat I eat. The only advice I get is to do better and she wants me on a statin. I am so angry seeing the correlation you are drawing. I feel so abandoned by the medical field...so not heard.
All your doctor had to do to determine peri menopause was draw a blood test called FSH. If it’s high, your estrogen is low. I don’t understand why she wouldn’t do this.
I suggest you change doctors when they don't seem to care from their patients. You always have a choice. Doctors like that are a dime a dozen, I do not know why they become doctors. It is deplorable .
I started at 23 with hot flashes so I know u can have some symptoms early. I have met plenty of women like me. I switch my doctors quick because there are test for it. Remember the are practicing medicine they don’t have all the answers. And a lot of them don’t care.
I broke my neck at 35 and the trauma of it and the bone harvesting from my pelvis caused me to go into menopause. I had no periods from that point on and was told through ultra sound my right ovary was shrunk.
Whatever you do , don’t take statins! Do you’re research on statins. I’m 71 and have had high cholesterol for decades, refused to take statins. All drugs have side effects- try something natural.
My peri-menopause through menopause. Anger:None!!! Sleepless nights: None!! Diet change? None!!! I changed nothing!! Breezed through it. How was this possible? I didn't have a man aggravating the shit outta me. lol
Wasn't expecting that! You're funny.
Right! PMS literally stands for PUTTING up with MEN'S SHIT 😜😅
Lol
😂😂😂 🥳🥳👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
lol 😂
This is what i call a man and a leader empathy and undrstanding is what is needed in a marriage. My husband treats my menopause like im using it against him the amount of times hes gone in at me for symptoms such as my memory going or exhaustion ive lost count. All he cares about is im too tired to do his bidding or ive forgot he needed me to do something. At this time in my life i need support and help and all he can do is think of himself. I swear my foot is out the door
I had to tell mine to back off, basically I'm sick and this is my time of need. He gets it though because he's older than me and seems to be going through andropause as well. Fun times in our house! But before that I was getting closer and closer to walking. I hope yours wakes up.
Thanks to you Dr. Haver, I'm finally getting my 1st hormone panel done. As someone who was always low weight, high stamina and energy, following a nutritious vegetarian diet, baseline BP around low 90s/60s, once I hit 40, virtually overnight, I developed hyperlipidemia, got a stiff shoulder, poor sleep quality, BP baseline jumped to 120/80. I'm demotivated, gained 25 lbs in under 10 months, and depressed as heck.
You are a TREASURE. Thanks to you, I fought for my Estradiol patch and finally got one. Im sick & tired of young female MDs who DONT KNOW and won't humble themselves to learn.
Right. I'm post menopause. I had a barely stage 1 breast cancer, which is been removed and I'm doing well. I've asked two different doctors about bioidentical hormones. They both went into panic mode. They claim that even bioidentical hormones cause breast cancer. It's sad that doctor's are not caught up on this.
They will know once they get there!!
I expected more from my female drs
It’s like they groom them to be misogynistic in medical school.. they probably go through hazing worse than male docs.
Humility is a rare gem in the medical profession
You just described my symptoms exactly! My cholesterol is high and I was vitamin D deficient. I always wondered how I could be when I worked outside in the sun every day! I’m so glad I found you.!♥️
Wow, this opened my eyes. My female Dr. prescribed estrogen. Took about half as was working 80 hrs a week. Then, at 69(still working) got an estrogen linked uterine cancer. Davinci surgery( refused chemo radiation). No estrogen. My singing voice changed ( sang in choirs and on stage philharmonic.) i said: I am RN, know risks. I need low dose estrogen. If i get cancer again, at least i can sing and feel good, be with my husband, the remainder of my life, however long it is.
I relate to this so much. Quality of life matters at least as much as, if not more, than quantity. There might be risk of some things with HRT, but there are absolute consequences without, that make my health worse and my life miserable. I’m staying on it.
USE AN ESTROGEN/PROGRSTERONE MIXED PILL. NEVER USE ESTROGEN ALONE. IT CAUSES CANCER
I appreciate you sharing these things!
I just recently met with a menopause specialist and my mind was blown! She was an expert, and she was so thorough. But her "prescription" was a diet overhaul to help my gut. I have been on this new diet for nearly a month and my weight is dropping just because my gut is working better. Nutrient nutrient-rich diet for my aging body so I can go through these changes well.... amazing. Most doctors throw drugs at their patients.
Do you have a few diet tips for us Then? PLEASE!
There isn't a specific diet plan, but you can google foods to avoid and foods to eat. My doctor told me to cut back on caffeine, Sugar, Salt, and Alcohol, and add protein, omega 3's, and nutrient-rich foods. Stay away from processed food.
Why less salt? What if it's celtic sea salt (high mineral content)
It has to do with water retention and bloating. Salt is good and she didn't say cut it out, just cut back and yes it's better to use a salt loaded with minerals. @@KirstyMcCulloch
Wow, you met a real doctor. Good for you! Most just go with the protocol.
Working exclusively with menopausal women.
Hats off to you, Doc.
This is the problem facing a lot of people in the medical profession. All these steps that women should take have never been discussed.
Most women know they will go through menopause but yhe things thatcwould help the woman arent discussed anymore.
Just like when I had my partial hysterectomy, I had to find out how to address my physical health issues through researching and exploring what works for me.
Same thing with my recent stroke. Not a single Doctor has taken the time to tell me how to imprive my immune system and how to deal with these const muscle spasms without taking any prescription mediciations.
So, thank you for sharing and communicating with your patients and the social media platform. ❤
Any idea in what is causing your muscle spasms? Research shows some could be related to Statins.
@ireeblount8238
Thank you for your concern and yes, I am researching and also doing basic strengths training. Having a stroke is a mystery journey. 🤔
my mom is 54 with high cholesterol and these symptoms, i'm totally gonna share your page with her!
That’s because no one has told most of us what needs to be done. It is criminal.
You’re so right . I just went for my yearly appt with My “Virginia dr “ and I just happen to tell her I sweat a lot like dripping down like a faucet sweat and she said “ well I’m not going to put you on “ hrt” I laughed I’m 64 friggin years young why would I want to go on anything lol 🌻🌻🌻
Let Google be your knowledge source.
DR god complexes & Big Pharma are killing people-esp women
I wish I had a doctor like u.
Early menopause needs to be acknowledged as well , 45 I was done with my cycle, it’s a real thing .
45 has come in like a wrecking ball!!! I feel like I’m fading away.
I also had early menopause. My doctor wanted to put me on bio-identical hormones. He said I’d feel way better, lose weight, hv no brain fog anymore, my heart wouldn’t age quickly like menopausal women’s did. He said my skin wouldn’t age as quickly and I can’t remember what else. My husband and I talked and we decided I should go on them. Three years later and I’ve gain many pounds, my hair is thinner, my memory is worse, I have wrinkles and I’ve actually grown a beard!!! I would never go on them again knowing what I do now. Plus it’s very expensive.
My mom with 35 and I with 52
@@lynnjensen3573 sounds like other things are going on with that....did you take the cv shots? Sounds like low iodine, sluggish thyroid that can't be found on a mere "TSH".... sounds like underlying health issues and dehydration, insulin resistance, inflammation of the gut. Merely taking hormones is not all there is.
@@jac1161 I do hv other health issues. My new doc told me I was on too much thyroid med and lowered it. Then last month increased it becuz med dose was too low. Hv Hashimoto’s. I don’t know anything about iodine. As far as what would happen if I’m too low. My form of bio-identical hormones were a pellet that with a minor cut was inserted in the muscle of my bottom. This about every three months. It included testosterone which is what my new endocrinologist thinks caused the excessive hair growth on my face although I lost hair on my head. I don’t know. I’m confused. Do you have any suggestions?
I discovered this on my own as I went through a menopause nightmare. I had SO many symptoms of perimenopause-horrible night sweats, migraines, weight gain, etc. When I finally went to a functional medicine clinic they put me on BHRT and I discovered my cholesterol normalized. It was not what drove me to find treatment, but it was an unexpected bonus
I’m a senior citizen, I’ve had a lot of bad medical practice over many years. This is the first diagnosis I’ve heard that makes sense to me. 👏🏽👩🏻⚕️
wow
I so appreciate everything you are doing for women's health!! We need warriors like you! God bless❤
What about what God does for women's health?
Thanks dr Haver, Im so glad Ive found you!!
Im 53 still having my cycle but for the last 2 years my cholesterol has been constantly high, I am a vegetarian, still doing the same activity, but having deficiency in vit D. I went to consult to 3 doctors and until now they are not sure why my cholesterol is high.
I thank God for using you to open up the fact that women can have a safe and fun journey towards menopaus. It does not have to be scary and miserable. ❤
I LOVE my menopause specialist - HRT changed my life!!
What is HRT?
@@priyankabehl3444 Hormone Replacement Therapy.
@@priyankabehl3444hormone replacement therapy
EXACTLY!!! Cholesterol took me completely by surprise. For all those reasons, I couldnt figure out why my cholesterol was high, I am a (no-longer teaching) ballet teacher, yes, overweight, plus, with a diabetes 2 husband, we eat very healthy at home. No dr told me the connection between estrogen and cholesterol, only through my almost obsessive reading I came to find out. I am now with a patch since july, although the obgyn doesn't think it will affect my cholesterol levels. I have been on a mission to lose weight (lost 17lb since july) and do what I can making tweeks to my diet to reduce my cholesterol levels, there has been an improvement but not quite enough. I refuse statins, at least until I've exhausted my diet-exercise options.
What else can one DO, before giving in to statins?
In my case the estrogen patch did change my cholesterol for the better! From my experience, what’s important is that you’re on a high enough dosage. Due to all the fear around HRT, also among not well educated healthcare providers, a lot of women get under treated with estradiol. And then there’s also different absorption rates (from patches) among women. What’s important to know is that the estradiol dose that helps with your menopause symptoms is not necessarily enough to help prevent the chronic diseases related to estrogen loss.
Statins are dangerous.
I was just tried on different statins and I was allergic to all but Pravastatin. I have no idea if my cholesterol is going to improve until New Year 2024. It's too soon too check. I choose stains for now because had lung scan done and heart arteries showed up and they are clogged. Dr said we need her cholesterol down now. I don't know what we will be doing about arteries yet. I have appointments coming. I was same had perfect cholesterol until just last two years. Been in HORRID, MENOPAUSE FOR 9 YEARS AND IS NOT SLOWING DOWN ONE BIT. HORRID
I know she posted a research study that showed on women Statins didn't reduce risk. I don't remember the details, but I remember the post. I looked up the article. I'm not going to take Statins.
We're listening. Keep talking.
Indeed, this is my reality. At 49 years old, over the past four years, my cholesterol and triglyceride levels have soared despite adhering to a plant-based vegan diet. For the past three years, grappling with menstrual flooding, I took it upon myself to conduct research and requested progesterone from my gynecologist, who initially suggested contraceptive birth control. Fortunately, strides have been made in recent years, but there remains a considerable journey ahead. Let us persist in our efforts.
Since starting my HRT I've had a complete cessation of the arthritis pain in my hands, feet and hip. Even on rainy cold days that normally would be excruciating, I have zero pain. Often I couldn't fully close my right hand into a fist and now that's never an issue. We literally bought a hot tub for my arthritis and now I get to enjoy it purely for relaxing not as therapy.
Me too! Dr. Wanted me on statins- I said no way! On HRT and one year later normal cholesterol…. And a new doctor
HRT saved my sanity! What a difference🙌🏼
@@melbaT2770really??? It Literally Killed my sister...guess nothing is a one size fits
@@missmarymary6506 I'm so sorry. Clots, stroke? Breast Cancer?
That is horrible! The doctor must monitor bloodwork often and know the dosage and offer the DIM capsules as well. I have heard of a few having breast cancer when getting HRT. It is a serious matter. Sorry for your loss.@@missmarymary6506
Statins are not bad. Nothings wrong to take them
As a naturopath, I am delighted to see a doctor who understands the underlying causes of these symptoms and works to treat them. Bravo!!
There are no naturopathic professionals where I live. Also, treatment by a naturopath is not covered by Medicare. I am now treating with a DO and have never had such good care! She has sent me for more testing than I think I have ever had in my life (I am 71 now). In light of this, as a naturopath, do you think I am on the right track?
I just started my estrogen patch and progesterone pill. I am 2 yrs without a cycle. Thank you for posting about these issues, I thought I was crazy and falling apart. I have tried diet changes and supplements with no success. My Dr listened when I did my research and I feel hopeful again.
It's so wonderful to see another doctor on You Tube doing work on menopause and helping women! I've been watching Dr. Barbie Taylor for years, and she's awesome! The more accurate information we can get out there to support women and get them feeling like human beings again, the better! ❤❤❤
Tried to tell my GP this after being normal weight and life style and everything. After no changes but reached perimeno and my blood pressure went up and cholesterol to. Doctor in 1988 blamed me like I did something wrong. If anything I ate better and exercised more and both went up. Was so mad no one understood. Was hoping things have changed for women by now by not blaming them.
I noticed last year that Holland and Barrett and Boots are now offering menopause resources. I was also invited by my Gp surgery to attend an online group menopause workshop. I'm going to look into seeing if there are more event likes through eventbrite
Same here. And tried to refer me to a Psychologist for anti-depressants.
As a clinical nutritionist for over 40 years it’s not just estrogen deprivation that causes the elevation on cholesterol, the same thing happens in men with low testosterone. So why does this happen, has nothing to do with gut absorption. When these two hormones become deficient the liver produces more cholesterol in an effort to provide the building blocks for those two hormones. All hormones are made predominantly from cholesterol. This has been documented at my clinic in houston as once we gave them the correct hormone replacement cholesterol levels dropped back to the normal range.
I'm a little confused could you put in gr 3 terms?
Is estrogen needed in menopausal women to fix chlorestrol? Isn't that what was said ?
So does women need testosterone? Or estrogen?
What about progesterone?? In menopause, don’t we need to balance both estrogen and progesterone?
Right...but what if you need tamoxifen for 5 years after breastcancer??? Please i am so desperate for your answer
Maybe it’s just the body working at regulating the hormone changes and some bodies adapt more efficiently than others. Also when estrogen is gone and the libido wanes isn’t that because the childbearing stage is over. It’s normal. Our bodies know because they are an evolutionary epic machines.
Please NEVER stop what you’re doing. You are more important than you know for doing what you’re doing.
I have everything that you just said. I went through menopause like 15 years ago. I struggle with cholesterol I never had to before. It's a daily battle
Yes,yes, and yes. After months of respiratory illness my Vit D was checked and found to be 16. Look at how depression responds to estrogen therapy. In the 1980's took me 4 MDs to find one who ordered HRT, and found I needed patch.
How does depression respond to hrt?
What kind of doctor did you go to for that?
Please respond
This is me!!!! My vitamin d level is 7, and I suddenly have elevated cholesterol for no reason. My gut health has also changed. I now have frequent diverticulitis flare-ups. I haven’t changed anything about my diet and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. I need to get this checked. Thank you for these videos!!
I always had 200 cholesterol levels for 20 yrs. Slowly creeped up the past 3, 10 yrs after menopause. Vit D levels below normal too.
What are symptoms of estrogen deprivation? Is HRT better than taking statins? I will have a conversation with my primary on my next appt.
I’m from England some of our doctors haven’t got a clue about menopause! I was told I was too young at 38 to be going through perimenopause and still having a period. But this isn’t true as I had all the other symptoms. I knew my body was changing. I watched this morning the next day and the doctor on there said she had clients from ages 15-96 years of age with menopause symptoms. I’ve started drinking protein shakes with added vitamin D and wow my belly has gone down also I’m less moody so my partner don’t mind buying them for me! Vitamin D and more protein lady’s works a treat. Thank you for posting your videos.
Please keep informing us ... Thank You!
You’re doing amazing work for women (and indirectly for men too). Keep up the good work. You’re a superstar. We need more people like you.
It’s amazing how estrogen in women can change us and our health symptoms so drastically. Low estrogen can look like this while high estrogen can be a cause to cancer. It’s amazing. Thank you for helping society get to a healthier place! You’re an amazing stepping stone in this fight to better health.
It’s pretty amazing seeing this lovely doctor acknowledge what postmenopausal women have known all along we don’t feel well , we don’t feel right. I have estrogen supplement now and my vitamin D was horribly low. Fun fact, who discovered this finally, an older doctor, who has been in practice for years at our local, urgent care. I take a 50,000 unit vitamin D pill once a week and nightly estrogen supplement. I can’t describe how much better I feel. Do I feel like I’m 25 again and like scaling Mount Everest, no, but the improved brain fog and issues with memory and energy and general improved mental health feels like I climbed Mount Everest for the win. I believe I also had long Covid that intensified symptoms of brain fog, and the vitamin D worked wonders in my opinion.
A younger gynecologist once simply shrugged her shoulders at me when I was frustrated with inexplicable weight gain after menopause. Her statement was ; eat less, move more. I wanted to smack her quite honestly and ask her if she was under the impression that I sat home all day long and moved as little as humanly possible and just ate pie for each meal. Even thinking about it now, years later…the shrug, and the dismissiveness is infuriating.
First, I was offended and embarrassed, and cried on the way home feeling accused at the assumption that I don’t exercise and apparently am a pig . Second, I never went to see her again and third a little part of me would like to say to her , you know, when you’re 55 I want you to let me know how it feels when somebody shrugs their shoulders at you and suggests that this is self imposed, and simply cured.
I imagine in 20 years her empathy may grow exponentially. At least I would hope so, for the sake of her ‘lazy, fat’ patients.🤬
Thank you Doctor, for the thoughtfulness and Public service you are providing we ladies over 50 appreciate it. We don’t see ourselves as 50. We still feel young and want to be seen the way we once were certainly we want to feel the way we once did , we are all still young at heart. Feeling heard and valued is important, kudos to you💕
I understand how furious you feel. I had a female gynecologist look at me in disbelief, (as if I had 2 horns ) when she asked me if I was still having sex. Yes of course, my husband and I still enjoy sex very much.
Higher education does not equal common sense.
I’m sorry you experienced that callousness. I wish I could say I’m unfamiliar, but sadly I am not.
Female healthcare is sooo far behind healthcare for men. It’s like we don’t matter. When in truth, this world would collapse without us. 😏
What is a 50,000 unit vitamin d pill? How much is that in milligrams? Please. Thank you!
Also, was it vitamin d or D3?
@@IwhimIwhimvitamin d isn’t dosed in mg. It’s dosed in units. Over the counter vitamin d is also dosed in units. Mg is irrelevant.
I'm 55 years old, I have no children, no menopause symptoms. I have high cholesterol and high vitamin D devicent. No HRT medication. I'm dealing with seronegative arthritis possible fibromyalgia too. I have watched your videos. I will be getting yourr book.
Thank you.😊❤❤❤❤
Omg!!!! This has been me since 36!!! I was working out matter of fact I trained for bodybuilding competition and marathons. For five years I fought with my doctor about taking meds for chloresteol and finally I gave in and started taking meds!!!! And my vitamin D is extremely low, I thought it was because of being African American woman, but I sun bath and its still low! How is it I'm finding out about this 11 years later! Thank you so much sister, I thought I was going crazy!
Vitamin D supplementation and testing should be REQUIRED on all physicals for both men and women.
not part of the plan on purpose...obviously. Add it to the list...they should do a toddler cardiac ultrasound to ensure holes in hearts closed. When they don't, the lead to strokes later. Any way to get or keep a patient.
100%
My gyn was surprised when I told him “when estrogen leaves the house, your gut slows down and stool with it” He didn’t know that???!!! Really???!!!
They are so dumb most of them!
Probiotics and Probiotics help
OMG!
I have been following your advice and have been on Hrt for 2 years, and feel great all my levels have improved including cholesterol levels.Thank you
1000% on spot for me. I found your channel by fate. Thank you for all you do for the collective. God bless you ❤❤❤
I'm eager to see if my Vitamin D deficiency and cholesterol lowers or 🤔 really how long it'll take to see these results! 🙏🏼 I'll be able to confirm your research and clinic stats. I'm optimistic AND always a vocal educator to other women. No woman deserves to be dismissed year after year by our sick care system anymore. We deserve full life care not only until menopause hits. Right?
I like that new title sick care system.
This is the most validating information I have heard! My doctors have zero info on menopause, it's strange. But please be careful witj HRT...my mother at 59 was diagnosed with estrogen receptive breast cancer from HRT. I am 51 now with high cholersterol, inflammation, joint and muscle pain, and hip deterioation. Trying to lose 30 lbs but it's groundhog day. Your doctor should ask about family history before prescribing.
Estrogen didn’t cause her cancer
My Dr told me menopause was all bullshit. Hes no longer my dr
@@MaevelikeschampagneYes it can
How did they trace it to HRT? I understand that estrogen also comes from organs like the brain and heart. Just curious how they knew it was HRT meds.
If you have not had hormone positive breast cancer, please be VERY careful about comments such as the HRT having no impact unless you are an oncologist.
I'm 43. I have elevated cholesterol... I've been eating really healthy and doing exercises for awhile now and while I'm losing weight over time, my cholesterol keeps going up.
I’m going to show this to my mom! She’s been describing some symptoms to me lately and I told her she should look into seeing an OB! 👍
My vit d dropped to 12 in perimenopause. (Now corrected through supplementation) Now 2 years post menopause cholesterol over 300. Starting HRT tomorrow. I cant wait. I pray my body responses well!! This has been one heck of a ride. 10/10 dont recommend getting old!! 🎉😂
Wow, an acquaintance has 330, blew my mind she was alive, and they put her on statins. She's very tiny, but doctors just blew over her cholesterol until we told her not good, but he said hereditary.
Old beats the alternative….😉
Cholesterol is your friend! You need cholesterol,cut is your internal band-aid! It's telling you you have inflammation. It's the inflammation you need to deal with and eradicate.
Not if u KNOW u will be with Christ !! ;)
She is spot on! I had great cholesterol numbers my entire life. Starting on my first year the numbers started climbing. 8 years into menopause my Doctor finally agreed to give me the estradiol patch and one year later my numbers have tweaked down a wee bit. Ladies if you're just starting menopause and your a good candidate get on HRT
Well at most you have 2 years to deal with this crapp
Thank goodness! Another mainstream doctor making these realizations and not just dogma from residency training.
And it DOES take more learning that we had in residencyand med school!!
I have all these problems I’m getting hrt because of this woman. Thank you
THIS!!!! So understudied and seemingly under-important for far too long. Peri-meno is NO JOKE, and neither is MENO. This natural phase of life should not be so "unhealthy". Although I love being a woman, there were days I cursed it - endo and migraines, dysmenorrhea, palps, menorrhagia - all combined to make life pure hell of my life. Looking toward being free of these, but will now have to watch out for more issues. It seems to never end, but will do my very best ! Thank you for posting these. You're a light in the dark.
Why don't we see conversations like this on national TV? My wife and I have been married for 34 years. You are truly educating me. I will continue to look for your material. Thank you.
Because women are not important medically as men are. Almost all medical studies are on men; most medications prescribed for women are the same dosages as for men. It is a failure of the medical profession. If we can find a medical professional who is in tune with women's health and needs, we score!
Its refreshing to hear information that helps women with these kinds of things. With the way the healthcare system is going it honestly feels like we don't matter too much. Thanks for caring and getting helpful information out there. ❤
This is staggering! Thank you for high-lighting it.
I have friends with auto-immune. I wonder…could they really be dealing with gut/menopause issues but it’s just diagnosed wrong and fighting the wrong battle?
Perhaps they need to get tested for the MTHFR gene mutation. I discovered I have it after my sister developed a huge blood clot in her leg. This mutation leads to many cardiovascular issues when homocysteine levels are high.
Its an interesting question. I contracted a serious auto immune disease at age 7. I was so sick. It wasnt like years of meandering symptoms. It hit really hard and i got so weak. My doctors didn’t even want me on birth control pills! This ws 12 years ago i was in my early 40s. Then 5 years later when i was in full menopause. They wouldn’t talk about HRT. It was just understood i could not have hormones. Thats when i started needing Thyroid and Ive been chronically low on vitamin D ever since. I gained 20 lbs after menopause despite no changes to my diet whatsoever. And then my very active sex drive dwindled to almost nothing. I do miss being younger. At 55 thing feel a lot different than they did even 10 years ago.
Many of us do have gut issues and yes it does contribute.
@@melbaT2770Yep. Heped me soooooo much when i found out
Interesting ! 👍❤️
Omgosh you just nailed ME 💯💯💯 I NEVER HAD HIGH BP OR CHOLESTEROL! My gut is so so horrible!!!! Life quality is just not good physically after hysterectomy 2 years ago and in menopause at 43 😢 I HAVE TO GET YOUR BOOK! THANK YOU!!!
Find a good doctor that specializes in treating peri menopause, menopause, post menopause, and the use of HRT.
The change in gut health due to menopause affects so much--sleep, mental clarity, moods, and more. I'm glad you're investigating further because most doctors aren't making the connection, so we suffer needlessly.
I've never seen your videos before and now all the sudden today it's like every third or fourth video you pop back up
I started taking stinging nettle infusion ( I soak 1/3 C dried stinging nettle in 1/3 C hot water overnight then drink over a few days. This balanced my hormones, got rid of my hot flashes and mood swings. When I was going through the change I would also do this for PMS pain. It has helped me in so many ways. It helped my hair and nails, gives me nutrients, gave me energy, helped my kidneys, cleaned my liver and got rid of dark circles under my eyes. Also balanced my blood sugar.
Could you please tell in detail what it is stinging nettle infusion 🙏
Nettle tea l have in tea bags .. can you share where you get? I'm confused why would you soak for days ... did you drink daily ? And how much ? You soak for days ?? So you have nettle tea cups soaking ???????? Please share
You say soak over night and drink for a few days? Can you share exactly the measurements cause ... l would assume it's alot of water if soaking and then drinking fir days . Thanks
@@joanneclark8256I guess he means soak each night and drink it in morning then soak again and drink it in morning
Is this the same as what we in Oklahoma call “bull nettles?” They have green pods on them with nuts inside, and nettles that will sting the hell out of you literally ALL over the plant?? Those just grow wild here.
Omg. I have never even heard of this but bells and whistles are going off. Calling my doctor in the morning! Thank you.
What did your doctor say? Were you stonewalled?
I changed mine & my dr never even told me...I'm going to write a book 4 my daughters!
I’m 49 and goin through this awful transition and I can’t wait until it’s over, we’ll see if I make it to the other side. No one tells you what you n your body goes through in this journey. All I can say is it’s horrific and stay healthy and strong ladies ❤🙏✌️💪❤️
I began taking 1 pill daily of estrovan (natural estrogen replacement pill) around the age of 50. I began a daily 500 mg vitamin d around age 54. I added initially daily fish oil pill and now take daily probiotic pill. My digestion needed help. I turned 60 last year. I’ve had no night sweats or noticeable heating up from menopause. Listen to your body. I’m active at work and sleep well. Naps are great too.
You take all that .. and say your digestion needs help?? Can you explain
Years, YEARS of perimenopausal issues and symptoms and loads of Dr.'s offering no help and dismissing everything. I finally said screw it and took matters into my own hands. Went Keto for a month and eased into a Carnivore diet. Solved my own issues. I've had no symptoms since. All lab work the last 3 times I've had it done finally show everything is normal. Why would I keep paying Dr's that won't help me? Freaking frustrating.
Thank you! I'm giving up on gaslighting doctors treating me like I'm mentally ill or just a collection of faulty parts they can play with. They have little information to give that hasn't been debunked and there is a lot that's new out there for us to try. eg Fasting for autophagy. Carnivore for detox and losing weight. Intermittent fasting for blood sugar controI
I don't think synthetic hormones are the answer but that is for every woman to decide her risk.
@@puggirl415 100%!
Wow. I hope you keep with those studies and bring things more to light for women. ❤
OMG this is me!!! AHHH!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Perhaps the cholesterol goes higher because it's supposed to . Women live longer than men ... always have . Even before HRT was available. When your ovaries stop the estrogen your adrenals act as shock absorbers in the menopausal process . They make a bit of sex hormone . What helps them do that ? LDL cholesterol . I had horrible hot flashes and brain fog when my GP freaked about my cholesterol and put me on a low fat diet . I'm 15 pounds overweight . When I decided to ignore him and added grass fed butter to my diet all the symptoms went away . Also , no cancer from HRT .
More people pushing supplements. No different than drs and big pharma.
Grass fed butter also good source of vit D
My grandma has been taking cholesterol meds for years
My favorite CZcams doctor (Dr. Berg) would agree! ✅
Yes. Cholesterol is a precursor for hormones, so maybe that’s why it goes up. It’s necessary for the brain too.
I tried red rice capsules from homeopathic natural stores and my cholesterol levels want down. I stopped for 6 months and it went up again. So am on it again. Hope to remain on it.
Thanks. My cholesterol has gotten a little high in my 70s. No HRT for me. I had estrogen-progesterone receptor positive breast cancer at age 55.
Oh cool. Can you tell us what brand you use? I’m on high cholesterol medication and I rather use something natural. Thanks!
There are side effects from red rice (headache, bloating, dizziness) that can cause other problems (and potentially rhabdomyolysis) so I would consult a doctor.
I use apple cider vinegar capsules n my gut is wayyyy better n so is my inflammation! No more knee pain! Also drink alkaline water 9.5!

Great reminder for me as a personal trainer to keep an eye on this. Ive had clients who were menopausal and struggling with fatloss and I knew it wasn't their diet or exercise. I know to refer them to see their doctor, I just wish it was easier to find doctors that would take their concerns seriously. The fight to advocate for ourselves is exhaustinggg
Your going to help me so much. I just found you. God bless you. Im 59 and getting very ill all of a sudden. 😢 changes coming
Just curious, What will you do to change? Thanks
@@recuerdos2457 I'm going to get vitamins into my body. I'm going to change my diet and if I can beat some of the exhaustion from work Id like to attempt working out. I can't stand my body right now. Because people can't see the pain in my muscles and (getting severe) arthritis in my body they are questioning my gripes. Its time to internalize it and figure this out.
I have had MONSTER hot flashes every 20 min to an hour since the month after I turned 50. 2014. I cant take hormone therapy because I'm a smoker. I have cut back a lot. Working on that because I was just diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I had no clue that Memphis menopause did any of this. I was completely blind sided. I only know one other female that's as bad as me so the others don't understand. They sailed through menopause. Strange how some are so bad and others seem good.
I went from working up to 80 hours a week as a dental assistant for 25 years to suffering at 33 to 35 a week. Its ruined my finances and I have called in sick because of body pain but said it's other reasons. I can't keep going on like this. Im getting so fed up that I think I'm going to just learn and Do whatever I can to help this. I used to be so fun. Now I don't want to have any outside the home events because I'm too busy resting my painful body. I hope this wasn't too much but Im holding all this in. Feels good to let it out.
Plus heart palpitations. I also had lung scan done. Lungs see good but I have hardening of heart arteries. Not sure how bad of what Dr going to do yet. I'm seeing him soon. Xo
Dr. Elizabeth Bright has great info too.😊
You are 100 percent correct.
My cholesterol used to be low. No diet change... menopause... cholesterol is through the.roof😢
I am thin and exercise regularly...
No worries. High cholesterol is no big deal. Research you’ll see.
@@tambarker3862 Yes but do be careful to keep your triglyceride numbers low. High triglycerides can really skew your numbers. The only things everyone needs to give up is added sugar and seed oils. Those are death and make our numbers bad.
I have PCOS, and have had this since 17 years of age, I am 41 now. My last check ups labs came back with elevated Cholesterol and low in vitamin D. Hearing what she is saying makes me believe that this is due to my body's lack of estrogen.
I’ve always had low cholesterol no matter what size, (thank you good genetics) I’m currently overweight waiting for my 4th back surgery in 10 years and will be 40yo in April. I was just started on huge supplemental amounts of vitamin D and calcium because I got these lines around my teeth and my dentist told me to have my doctor run the labs. What’s disturbing to me is I’ve been on autoimmune biological chemotherapy infusion treatment for my JRA since August 2016, (2 years and I’ll be in remission my butt 7.5 years later, along with acquiring 4 more autoimmune diseases since then, MADS,) and not my specialist for the different autoimmune diseases/conditions nor primary have thought to run labs for basics outside the special things. I have now been having my PCP do it every 3 months until they get normal or close to and will back off but it’s disturbing I’ve complained about how my GERD for 3 years has been the worst it’s been in 14 years and between April to November last year had 15 cavities filled. More than in my entire life at the same dental office since I was 3yo. Just had a cleaning 18 months prior to April when I had a piece at my gums of a molar fall out. Tiny but I was horrified because not only have my teeth been straight thanks to braces but taking care so much everyday to be preventative, using water picks to floss, having with me when out the teeth wipes, picks and disposable toothbrush with paste to use if not going to be home for a while and eating. I’m scared to think how my teeth would be if I didn’t do this and hadn’t been complaining. Oh and since May 2 different Gastroenterologist haven’t cared one bit about me showing and complaining about my teeth, gums or mouth problems nor the letter my dentist wrote that he can’t stop he can only paint the damage they have to stop the gerd. I had to file a complaint with the state and waiting for another Gastro but only gave limited options which my rheumatologist told me several to not go to they don’t work or work well with other departments doctors when cross over diagnosis are involved.
Same with my infusion/chemo treatments they stopped me having a period entirely since 2016 and my non of my care doctors have seen that as a problem. The years I’ve wanted to have just 1 kid and then resort to freezing my eggs because this has dragged on now for years is putting me in a place where I feel like they aren’t trying to get me functional let alone be a mother. I did get Addisons disease in 2018 as they discovered by accident during a flare up er trip that I had to be there for 2 days and tested me for a lot of things which they didn’t say they suspected cortisol issues. The first things they always go for when something new comes up or flare ups arise is, oh your fat is the problem, and let’s check for diabetes, cholesterol and thyroid those are going to show us the problem. I laugh so hard every time any doctors do this and it’s a couple times a year now and explain how being fat is because of needing back surgery, not able to exercise at all, in a wheelchair most of the time, and my inflammation 24/7, not because I gave something new or wrong that’s a challenge and you have to think or get specialist to help solve because it doesn’t fit your standard fat intake and resolve problem checklist. They never look at the prior doctor tests or results despite warning them and wasting my time when I feel horrible, sick and in pain. I’ve had others within the system I am in over years now comment to me if I didn’t fight, advocate for myself, do my research, demand testing, treatment and care I’d be dead. What’s scary is how true it has been and still is, sometimes I almost feel like they are on purpose and. I would love to get some other medical facility for treatment, but because of their screwed up medical records that they’ve committed fraud and I don’t know where to go or how to get it fixed without putting myself in danger I’m basically held medically hostage and continue to be terrorized on a weekly basis as I see some doctor every single week.
Seen the lab studies in LTC facilities and i agree w/Dr Haver ..... elder's eat less fruits and veggies so i did a pilot study where the elderly women were given smoothies to drink v sugary drinks. They ate less deserts as the smoothies filled them up and satisfied their sweet tooth with natural sweeteners in fruit. Their labs continued to improve along with their skin and hair and mucous membranes in their eyes all become more supple and hydrated. Half eat the fruit and veggies but couldn't eat enough to make the same difference as the smoothies and little improvement. I think it has to do with the gut in the elderly population but more studies are needed.
What kind of smoothies? As in, content.
@@itsPreznt Fresh fruits and veggies for 10 servings daily

Dr Haver, you need to have a loud and proud podcast, teach nationwide, etc.
I had a partial hysterectomy @ 20, full of fibroid tumors, endometriosis attached to all my organs. At 25, I had total hysterectomy; getting hormones therapy, not negotiable. I am 77 now, have had to fight & quarrel with male doctors, who do NOT understand what women go through! Gynecologists, usually, are men. They do not understand the pain of cramps, etc. Please keep talking, bless your heart❤
I'm the exception. At 67 years old, my Vitamkn D and cholesterol are normal. I have always cooked healthy, nutritional foods. Interesting study.
Thank you, thank you so so much. I had a hysterectomy at the age of 35, I am 52 now, and I have a family history of heart disease. Now I need to find a way to fix this without harmful pharmaceuticals. I know I was deeply depressed, for 15 years, and in 2020 and 2021, I started to get into the sun, again, and it worked! to lift that deep depression. I still have moments of depression, but I am so much better, now, just with that. I refuse to take pharmaceuticals for high cholesterol and/or estrogen, so, I have to learn how to fix this. Now!!!!
Thank you SO much for these videos!! I’m 44 and need to hear all this info!! Thanks from the UK xx
This is the truth! Thank you for sharing this with all of us❤
I had a complete hysterectomy about 33 years ago. I am now 73. I do not have high cholesterol but do have high blood pressure. I have very low levels of vitamin D. I am unusually tired and I do eat same foods but smaller portions. I am overweight by maybe 65 pounds. Weight gain was gradual. I take vitamin D and high blood pressure meds.
Nobody told me I had to change those things in my life when I lost my ovaries
I had estrogen sensitive breast cancer and had chemo, radiation, 1year Herceptin infusions and 5 years of Aromasin so I guess I’m out of luck because hormone replacement is a “ no-go”.
I had barely stage 1 breast cancer with a lumpectomy, radiation and was on a hormone blocker for one year. I asked two different doctors about bioidentical hormones and both went into panic mode. I also have hypothyroidism. Between low hormones and low thyroid, I have high cholesterol.
@@jantrevino9345 great you caught it early!!!! I did as well but it was aggressive type so had to do “the works”. I guess we have to “suck it up” and realize that bio hormones aren’t in the cards for us. Makes such a difference in quality of life but of course at least we have a life!!!!!
Wonderful kind sir. Thank you for your support for your wife❣️
Had total hysterectomy at 37. HRT till I was 60. 2003! THEN SOME BRANIAC GROUP decided it was dangerous. After seeing you, I found availability of estrogen from online Dr. I am sooooo angry, I was deprived and have felt Soooo bad for nearly 20 years. I’m a 50 yr clinical RN.

I’m 58 and my levels are fine after menopause because I did change my diet. I’m now coming up on my three year anniversary as a carnivore! 50 lbs fell off without exercise, joint pain disappeared, hair began growing in brown instead of gray and every ailment I had disappeared. My skin is silky smooth and because of all the real collagen I eat I look younger than others my age. Yes my cholesterol has gone up but maybe our genes do this on purpose. My arteries are also clear after my CAC came back with a score of zero. Cholesterol keeps our brains fed with the proper energy Ketones. The book Brain Energy explains this well.
Right on! Carnivore for 2024! My partner and I are Intermittent fasting and planning a 6 week carnivore diet detox and then see if we want to continue on carnivore or go back to keto. I'm treating myself for SIBO now with a natural sugar free diet but still have some digestive issues so want to leave the plants out for a short stint. You rock!
Show me a single study that shows cholesterol has negative health effects..... I'll wait.
So were you vegetarian before? I haven't eaten meat since I was 14, and it's hard to tell if it's been a good or bad thing. I just can't imagine eating meat after all this time though.
Do u have ur cac score checked before ?? :)
So you only eat meat, that is it?
I hope you can change the way women are treated pre - and during menopause. You are leading a good fight. Look how we are treated in the UK. Please post a video on your finding because we are so let down. I am 48 years old and have been told to come back when my periods stop.
I’m 44 now and just started symptoms of perimenopause this year full blown and got labs last week and my cholesterol levels are elevated although I’ve been this way before it might be because of this for the most part estrogen levels dropping. I’m on my 4th day on HRT lowest dose praying I feel better soon.
