I have been a no oil vegan for over 12yrs. Have had a bmi of 20 for over 45 yrs and began menopause at 57 yr of age. In my personal experience an unhealthy diet and being fat are not reasons for delayed menopause.

[Mary-kldn]

Thank you Dr McDougall for the wealth of information in all your books, your website and all your videos 😊

You’ll never know what you’ve done for my health and life, Dr. McDougall. I truly trust you above any other doctor. FInding you and the McDougall diet saved me in multiple ways, mentally and physically. It gave me a new lease on life. I know menopause will be easier to me on a low-fat, healthy whole food plant-based McDougall-style diet. As I watch my mom suffer through that time of life, and she refuses to change her ways, I sadly shake my head and just pray for her. Going on 40 and in premenopause, I’ve had very, very little hot flashes that only come when I increase the natural fats, like nuts or seeds. When I lower them, they go away. Thank you for your honesty. I hope I get the chance to meet you someday and shake your hand to thank you!❤

None of the bad effects of hormones apply to bioidentical hormones... I am 23 years WFPB and in great health and physiologic level bioidentical hormones taken via skin cream have been a game changer!

Keep sharing all your knowledge Dr. M. and Mary. You know alot we need to know on living our best. You are appreciated immensely. Lots of goodness l'm learning from you. I hope you are reading all the great comments in here from your viewers. We hear you and many are following your starch solution way of eating. All good guilt free foods that we humans are meant to eat. Lots of mash potato and golden gravy for sure.

So glad to see this video on my feed 🙌🏼

Recent research and studies are showing that bioidentical hormones have none of the bad effects that the old Frankenstein hormones have. In fact, recent studies are showing that BHRT helps not only to prevent menopausal symptoms but helps to prevent cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and dementia.

I love this doctor. So wise ! Love Mary as well.

I don’t remember a symptom surrounding menopause. I was 49/50 and by that age our family had been Vegan 15 years. Now 19 years later at age 68 i’m still Vegan. As you know once a vegan always a vegan and at 68 I still enjoy radiant health, especially after revisiting You Dr McDougall. That was nearly 9 years ago. Thank you for being a Health Hero! 😊

[Marie-tsrp]

Thank you Dr & Mary M❤Happy Birthday Heather❤

Some vaginal creams can enlarge uterine fibroids.Also foods high in coconut milk or oil (high saturated fats) can do this as well.

The so called “progesterone creams” over the counter rarely have any progesterone and nothing that would be therapeutic for the uterus. The so called progesterone creams from “yams” that are OTC actually were tested and don’t have progesterone but do have small amounts of estrogen.

I got my downloads. Thank you guys so much!!

[NaturallySerene]

Heavens, he mentions male life expectancy age there. We miss you so much, Dr. Mcdougall

Testosterone peaks during ovulation. I can’t wait to reach menopause and strop producing progesterone!

I must mention that I also am very salt sensitive. It just takes one meal to shoot my blood pressure several points up, but almost worse is it causes autoimmune symptoms and swelling of my ankles. My skin gets severely itchy with small blisters and I start having insomnia. So I rely on herbs for flavor.

I have a question on the reduced breast size. "Most" women I know in menopause have gone up (way up) in breast size. Even the ones that didn't gain a bunch of weight. This is one of the first times I've heard "reduced size".
