I'm 75 years old; and, I have already passes through menopause (drug free). You are correct. It did give me back my freedom. Because I am now old, I can say what I really think. Most of the time, I wear what I want to wear. I am free to explore many things that I was not allowed to do when I was younger. I still donate blood on a regular basis. My body needs have changed; so, I am slowly changing my diet (and losing weight) without using any drugs. Staying drug free is very important to me. I don't worry about what people say or think about me anymore. When someone gives me worry or trouble, (I report them in person, not on a phone); and, they get to explain themselves to a Law Officer. This way records are made (and I am not dismissed as a stupid old woman).

I meditate, practice and teach yoga, walk with my dogs every day to keep me sane during this challenging time. Thank goddess I have retired from work (nursing).

Yes me too. I started with the menopause aged 43 and I am 56 now. I have suffered the most horrendous hot flushes which woke me almost every 30 minutes throughout the night for several years. I tried sage, it worked for a couple of months and then not. The symptoms I suffer are debilitating and I do absolutely all I can to remedy myself. I will try a couple of things which Terri mentioned which I haven't yet tried. It can be frustrating when people haven't experienced the same and wonder what all the fuss is about. Terri is wonderful and I agree with her regarding mindset and joining clubs etc. Being in nature every day can be an enormous help too. I only wish all the symptoms would just go away, after 13 years, I have had enough 💖💓💖

This week has gone so fast. At 45 I started menopause. I stopped my monthly then. So I’m in my mid 60’s. I don’t remember the all the problems that went with the change of life. I do remember having my little devil show up each month when the moon was full. My mood swings went the same way as the moon was full. I would get angry at myself and just felt down in the dumps at those times. My mother would throw me a pill and made me take it. I asked what it was and she told me dried up sage in a capsule. So you brought me a good memory about my mother.

Thankyou Terri. I lost my mom /and nanna many years ago, and wasnt prepared for the menopause at all. I was overwhelmed to begin with and didnt realise how much it can affect your life. Even decision making became an ordial!! I had to buy a new cooker and stared at two for days and days before being able to choose between the two. Once id bought one, i was convinced id bought the wrong one!! its funny now, but real at the time. Peri menopause can last for a long time, this again , i didnt know. And those hot flushes were quite something, mine felt like internal combustion. Luckily i managed to get through without any medical aids. I think your video is going to help alot of ladies out there, it is a subject that isnt spoken about much,which is really sad. Thankyou xx

It is true that many of us find decision making difficult and get foggy headed but rather than see it as a problem , just see it as an opportunity to take some time out.

You are right I think, that is not much spoken about and should be, in a positive way rather than just horror stories. xx

I used Red Clover and Rhodiola Rosea for my menopause . Really helped a lot as my symptoms were more anxious/ fatigue based . In fact I’ve just started on Rhodiola again atm as these energies have been so heavy again recently, I’ve felt the need for a bit of extra oomf . I also make a St Jon’s wort and geranium herbal face salve , which also works a treat for upliftment and stress wrinkles 😉🙏

Good morning, Terri and Lol. How I wish I had watched this video 15 years ago! I experienced menopausal symptoms in my early 40s. I was still working full-time, shift work, raising children and dealing with hot flashes. I started noticing the onset of osteoporosis around age 50. Two hip replacements later, I'm retired, through 'the change' and finally able to sleep at night, (with the help of select herbal teas). I've developed an appreciation for living a more natural, 'in tune with the seasons' life. I'm embracing my now thick, grey-white hair. I enjoy working in the garden, and harvesting the medicinal weeds that Mother Earth provides. And,...having a dog to walk makes a difference as well. Take care both of you, and blessings from Canada. P.S. Spring is finally coming to S.E. Ontario. I've seen my first dandelion!.

I believe we were meant to go thru this cycle and we can make it what we want it to be. I also believe as we age we get to that tipping point with toxins, so starting to look at everything in your life...soap, skin care, laundry care, household cleaners etc. and start to replace those with simple things like sodium bicarbonate, vinegars, etc. The last 10 years (at least) I haven't been able to figure out why my skin was so bad, and I felt so crummy...sodium laurel sulfate was my issue in so many products. I'm healing and gaining energy and feeling better and even more creative because I have energy.

Terri, I thought of you again at the garden center this week when I saw the same Sedges that grow wild all over the west of Ireland here in pots as garden plants for $19.99. One man's (woman's) scourge is another man's treasure I guess. Regarding the menopause and beauty, from this man's (and portrait painter's) observation, it seems to me women age much more beautifully than we men do, on a whole, both inside and outside. But with all humans, beauty to me is most often correlated to spirit rather than age, pre, peri and post menopause!

I didn't have hot flushes but I did one morning wake up up with a terrible depression, almost suicidal! My doctor said my oestrogen levels had plummeted when I consulted him. As I did not want to go on hormone replacement he suggested oil of primrose & while it took a few weeks my mental state got back to normal, but it was a frightening experience. Hormones are very important, my grandmother had post natal psychosis in the 1930's & was admitted to an asylum. There was no treatment then & I wonder if these herbs could have helped. She unfortunately died young at 29, due to tuberculosis she contracted in the hospital.

Hello, I'd like to share my experience with menopause as someone at 77 who has been blessed with a fabulous life; albeit with monthly migraines except during several pregnancies. The migraines disappeared after menopause. However, the night sweats and hills and valleys of mood swings that followed were a nightmare....and I tried everything you recommended and more to no avail. A pharmacist at a local health pharmacy asked if I had tried a product from Eastern Europe, the only ingredient contained in it was Rheum Rhaponticum, which is false rhubarb. Within a few weeks, my life changed. Pure, beautiful normalcy. I do not wish to say the name of the product as this would sound like advertising, and this is not my intention. I have been using this product now for several years and wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

I’m 41 and I am so looking forward to the days that I can help my children with their children. Altho I do pray my daughter and the wife of my future son make the same choice I did: to stay home and raise their own children. It’s such a crime that women are robbed of this wonder by the pressure to work. But if they must work, I certainly would prefer to be the “daycare” in place of a state institution that seeks to corrupt my (future) grandchildren. I guess it’s all mindset. I definitely am averse to this “me me me” attitude I see basically everywhere. So I pray your daughter can reorganize her life to be able to do the thing she’s truly called to (snuggling with that precious little person and raising them), and in the meantime I pray you can find joy in her trusting your enough to entrust you with that precious little soul who is your legacy.

I'm looking at one called magic yams from Germany (I'm in Portugal). My hot flushes have calmed down a lot (I'm taking Shatavari and Dong Quai at the moment. ) I've tried Vitex Agnus Castus, siberian ginseng and Sage (although I still regularly take sage and nettle tea that I grow). My ongoing problem is migraines. Going out is a hazard for me because they seem to be triggered not only by hormones but by perfumes and fabric softeners, scented candles, petrol and various other fragrant aldehydes 😫. Christiane Northrup suggests a progesterone cream for the migraine problem so I'm trying to source a good one...

Hi Terri! I sooo agree with your teaching on menopause! It is thought about in our society as a disease - and it´s not - it´s only a transition and right of passage as you beautifully explained.

I am a Wise Woman - and don´t apologize for it!!! I became a Reiki Master at 64 years old, I knew I would retire from my local Medical Center and wanted to do something fun and fulfilling that would be in alignment with my very spiritual self - I love it!!

She said that you should embrace the aging process - wrinkles, grey hair and all - because some people aren't fortunate enough to see 50 or older and get wrinkles and grey hair. She would be one of those people. So, I love my lines and wrinkles, and the silvery strands in my hair are natural highlights. And it's so true, the older I get, the less I care what others think of me and so over the BS! Thanks for your wonderful videos.

I didn't notice menopause except all of a sudden one day I woke up and no longer had a period. Additionally I'm sure the changes I made helped me beat cancer...it's been 15 yrs ago.

And also that you know of the longing to feel purposeful after the nest is empty. I love how you shared and prepared those who will soon transition as well. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, to help us all be our best selves.

Good evening Terri, great conversation, I am 73 in July, I went through menapause quite quickly in comparison to my mother who told me at 73 she was still having night sweats and flushes, so I'm grateful for that. I don't feel any different still very active I didn't think of it as end of life as it used to be but a new journey places to go people to meet, Last year I had a book published and I'm putting together my second one. My 4 children don't live locally the 4 corners of the UK. visits happen often, I travel around the country favourite holiday destinations etc. Life is rich and rewarding . What ever our age. We should not be intimidated with advertisements of how we should look at any age your as old or as young as you feel. I'm often told I don't look my age, I say how am I supposed to look.? Hugs and Blessings. 💚🌹

Dia duit a Terri, cén chaoi a bhfuil tú inniu? I am appreciative of today's episode, as a Druid and Spiritual advisor and guide, this information will come in handy. Especially, when working with fellow members of my tribe. I believe that age is a number and that the societal emphasis on youth and 'beauty' is absurd. We all go through stages of transformation from birth to death to rebirth; and it's important to live to one's fullest extent. Slán go foil for now!

All 4 of my kids, two girls and two boys, are grown and out of the house. My oldest two daughters are married and have two kids each of their own. I have two girls and two boys all over again. They come for sleep overs and I look after the girls when their mom works as a substitute teacher. That can be three times a week. Keeping up to a two year old is a good work out, and my house is filled with toys again. In fact we built a playground for all the grandchildren to use. As for my younger single sons, I have informed them both, that children are not an option. I expect more grandchildren from them too. Keeps me young and feeds our family tree. Which young people have stopped doing. That must change. All people going through menopause need grandbabies to cuddle. Including men who have their own hormone changes. They need grandbabies too. It is such a nice distraction and helps to get through the hot flashes when I'm out gardening with the help of little garden fairies.

Thank you so much fir the video. A Bosnian friend told me in her country women prepare sage tea in a very small proportion,so its more effective: they just put a teaspoonful in 2 litres of water, boil it slowly for a couple of minutes to extract as much as they can, let it cool down completely,then drink during the day, just like they drink water. Soy sprouts in your diet also help a lot.

Thank you Terri for bringing life to what the Chinese call our second spring, and I think this post captures the essence of that! I will try the sage tea. I have found taking magnesium, has really helped everything. Also I gave up drinking caffine in January after having covid and straightaway, the flushing stopped. I still have a tiny bit of dark chocolate now and again and can feel the heat rise in my body after. I have increased my intake of good quality tofu also for the plant eostrogens. For the emotional and spiritual support I have found reading the book 'Wise Power' by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer to have been essential. Like it has almost provided a sacred container for me to find myself in, almost a map of territory, and an understanding. I am now really careful of who's words I listen to now around the talk of menopause, I am now writing this story for myself without carrying too many words from others. I have learn't from them that menopause is the time when more light comes in. This shines on our lives and our considerations and actions come from that. This enables us to come to our lives in a new way, and of course more light shines into the shadows bringing challenges and new resolutions. I think the earth is also having it's menopausal moment too and the increased light is shining into the shadows. It's quite a time to be going through the menopause! The new directions that come from this time are going to be needed.

Be careful with tofu, its made from soy beans which are hibrid, it was made for the plastic industry, by Mendel in the 1800s in London..your car peddle is made out of soy beans..its a man made food, dont eat that, it will harm you..menopause will not exist if we would eat the corect food for us, alcaline foods to unclog the ovaries..there are women in their 80s making babies without a problem.. Check Alfredo Bowman aka Dr. Sebi that studied all the natural plants and used them to heal people..

For brain fog and anxiety, might I suggest B-12 Vitamin? Your doctor can check the levels in your blood. Strength training exercises for all muscle groups can help us tone up and physical therapy for pelvic floor issues may help, too. For dry skin, try Omega 3-6-9 capsules, drink lots of water, and of course use a good moisturizing lotion or body oil. It's a lot, but we can try one thing at a time and see what works. 💝

Sorry, but I have to disagree with it being freedom, doing what you like etc. I went through 10 years plus of hell with it. I was still working full time, elderly parents to help care for and it destroyed a ten year relationship, it was so difficult. I'm 64 now but still have to work until at least 66. I was around 61/62 when periods finally stopped permanently. The doctors were useless, I had to fight to get HRT. I was totally knackered, drove for my job and was so tired, driving was dangerous but it was my way of earning a living. Though that's in the past, I still get all the monthly symptoms, aches and pains of the monthly period. Having said all that SAGE was the one that worked for me. My friends sailed through it, it was just me that had the menopause from hell.

And no more people pleasing - say no! I'm leaving my hair to grow long because that is me. I braid it to keep it under control and I don't care - even if my mum says I'm too old to have long hair.

It's so true. There is a very negative attitude toward growing older, but I have always believed that age is a blessing, not a curse. ( I just wish my back knew that!😂) it's true what you said, sadly some people will never know what being older is.I turned 52 last june, and I stopped dyeing my hair in October. I'm so thrilled with the colour I am getting. it's white! Yay. I was worried i wouldn't like the greyness because I was auburn. But It was actually seeing you do your hair care video, when you said you were dark haired that I thought, if Terri was dark and now has this beautiful colour, there is a chance I could have too, low and behold I do!! Now I can't wait for it to grow out completely! Admittedly, it doesn't look great next to the dyed lengths. Never mind, I'm still happy in my skin. Thank you so much for your lovely video ❤️
