Surviving to Thriving | Cynthia Thurlow | TEDxTrinityBellwoodsWomen

Thanks for this! Finally, and desperately I found a functional medicine clinic December 2021. At 61, I’ve been post menopausal for 12 years, and no Dr ever discussed hormonal supplement with me. Along with many other health aspects, we are addressing my hormonal balance and it is life changing! In only 3 months of eating different, supplements and embracing my health as my priority, I have hope and I feel like my future is bright! I’ve lost 26 pounds so far, and another 80 to go, and I will get there!

I found this video accidentally and have watched it several times in addition to another Ted talk you did. I also subscribed to your you tube channel. I am 54 and post menopause. I have struggled with so many issues since about age 50. If only I had this information a few years ago! Thank you!

I just stumbled upon this video. I just turned 60 this week. I am vegan. I struggle with depression, anxiety, insomnia, crying everyday and alcohol. I'm going to watch all of your videos on your channel after this...hoping this ends.

Thank you for your message and sharing all the ways we can heal our bodies naturally!

This school year in England, after a huge campaign, Menopause is is being taught as part of the National Curriculum, how I wish that had happened in my day, and more companies are investing in staff training to understand how this can effect women. I’m still finding out information for myself and struggling. Hopefully young women will be prepared for this time in their lives.

Such an important message! Let's spread the word about healthy hormones and aging! Thank you Cynthia!

Such an important message for women of all ages.

YES!!! It is wonderful to hear all of this from such a new viewpoint. Great work Cynthia - this is going to help a lot of people. WELL DONE.

Amen! Most people charge to help others with information like this.

EXCELLENT!! Thank you so much Cynthia!!

Amazing job as always, Cynthia! Great work.

Not long after the start of the talk I knew she was talking about menopause! HRT really helped me

Love her. She knows what is saying. Best Doctor

Great info. I am definitely passing it on. Wish I had this 15 years ago.

Thank you for this amazing talk so inspiring. As a menopausal woman it is great to have people talk about the Craziness we suffer in this time with strategies and perspective

Yes yes yes! OMAD changed my life! 47 year old right here! 👋

Wow! I am in peri-menopause. I was wondering why I had suddenly started eating like a mad woman. Thank you for this Ted X talk. It is an answer to prayer.

Each on their own. Lifestyle and background.

You are an awesome, beautiful, intelligent woman. Thank you so much for the valuable information. Please continue to do more TED Talks ! We need more women like you !

Thanks for speaking on this very important issue. As you point out, women live to 84 now, and we need to understand how to navigate these peri menopausal years more effectively with current and accurate information. For me the anxiety is more of an issue than the other more classic symptoms. I am 48 and feel like I hit menopause over night without a lot of preparation from the women in my family who are older or from society in general. Typically "middle aged women" are not seen as vibrant, valuable, or integral in the North American culture unfortunately. I appreciate your generosity in posting this. Please keep this conversation going with these intelligent examples of professionally trained women.
