19 videos, 220 PubMed studies cited. Clear explanations of menopause, hormones and nutrition: every claim is sourced. The videos are in French, with English subtitles available.
Low-grade chronic inflammation does rise around the final period, but not in every woman, and it does not explain hot flashes. What food really changes for bones, weight and mood. In French with English subtitles.
Video page →Soaking through protection, clots, exhaustion: what is common after 45, what must be investigated, and the red flags that mean calling for help. In French with English subtitles.
Video page →Feeling cold when nobody else is, and at 50 being told it is menopause. Maybe. Or maybe the thyroid: the two pictures look alike, and sometimes both are present. In French with English subtitles.
Video page →You cry over something tiny and you do not recognize yourself. The reversal almost nobody makes: it is not low estrogen that destabilizes mood in perimenopause, it is its variability. In French with English subtitles.
Video page →Before 40, periods that disappear or go haywire are not just stress, and you are too young for that is not a diagnosis. This video first puts the right words on it: premature ovarian insufficiency before 40 is not the same thing as early menopause between 40 and 45, and it is not always permanent. It explains what should trigger testing (four months of absent or clearly irregular periods before 40) and the dosing rule that changed: the 2024 international recommendation, co-signed by the European, American and international societies, now accepts a single FSH measurement above 25 IU/l. It reviews the causes (genetic including the FMR1 gene, autoimmune, iatrogenic after a cancer treated in childhood), the reasonable workup to ask for, and what the literature documents for bone and heart, with absolute risk and not only relative risk. The heart of the topic is an inversion of the hormonal reasoning: at fifty-two, taking hormone therapy means adding something to a body that stopped producing it at the age when that is normal; at thirty-five, not taking it means letting a thirty-five-year-old body run without what it should have. It is no longer a comfort treatment, it is a replacement, and the guidelines say to continue it at least until the usual age of menopause. The video finally addresses fertility without promises and without fatalism, and the shock of the diagnosis, which is part of the picture and not beside it. In French with English subtitles.
Video page → Read the full article →Have your migraines become more frequent and less predictable over the past two or three years? It is not your age, and it is not that you cope less well. In the American AMPP survey of 3,664 women with migraine, very frequent headaches (at least ten days per month) affected 8.0% of women still cycling normally versus 12.2% of women in perimenopause. The mechanism is counterintuitive: it is not the lack of estrogen that triggers the attack, it is the drop. A placebo-controlled trial with estradiol gel demonstrated it by simply shifting the attack by five days. The video also explains aura and the warning signs that require calling emergency services, vascular risk with its absolute and not only relative risk, and above all the most widespread confusion: combined estrogen-progestin contraception is not recommended in migraine with aura, but transdermal menopause hormone therapy at physiological doses is not contraindicated. In French with English subtitles.
Video page →Women lose 30% of their collagen in the first 5 years of menopause: the figure is everywhere, and it appears in no original publication. The real data, from Brincat's work in 1987, is about 1 to 2% per year. What estrogen really does to your skin, why the time elapsed since your menopause predicts the state of your collagen better than your age, the hair loss that affects one postmenopausal woman in two, and the honest hierarchy of what works: daily sun protection and retinoids (randomized trials), quitting smoking (strong association), collagen peptides (fragile signal), topical estrogen and hormone therapy (not validated for skin). In French with English subtitles.
Video page →Joint pain and stiffness are among the most common complaints of menopause, and they are largely underestimated. What truly comes from the drop in estrogen, what comes from osteoarthritis, what hormone therapy actually changes (in the Women's Health Initiative randomized trial, 76.3% of women on estrogen reported joint pain after one year versus 79.2% on placebo, about three percentage points that the authors themselves call modest) and what glucosamine, chondroitin and turmeric are worth. In French with English subtitles.
Video page →Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, and yet it is almost never discussed at the time of menopause. What the transition really changes in your lipid profile and your body composition, the risk signals specific to women (frequent hot flashes, early menopause, persistent insomnia), why your pregnancy history is part of your cardiology file, how to recognize a heart attack in a woman, and what the WHI and ELITE really say about hormone therapy and the heart. In French with English subtitles.
Video page →Your bones can weaken for years without any pain. At menopause, the drop in estrogen accelerates bone loss, but osteoporosis is neither a fault nor an inevitable fracture. What a DXA scan really measures, who should get screened, the limits of calcium and vitamin D, the role of strength and balance training, and the framework for MHT and treatments (with the denosumab alert). In French with English subtitles.
Video page →After 50, you lose muscle in silence: it is sarcopenia, and menopause accelerates it because of the drop in estrogen. With the science, we see why your muscle = your metabolism and your independence, and the 2 levers to reverse the trend: enough protein (well distributed) + strength training. Neither your fault, nor inevitable. In French with English subtitles.
Video page →20 years of fear over a 2002 study that was misread. We set the record straight with the science of 2026: real benefits (symptoms + bones), real risks (breast, clots), the window of opportunity, and why modern MHT has nothing in common with that of 2002. In French with English subtitles.
Video page →Dryness, pain, flagging desire: we finally separate the two problems that get confused (the genitourinary syndrome of menopause and low desire), and the solutions that really work, with the science. In French with English subtitles.
Video page →Waking up drenched, soaked sheets: the hormonal and thermal mechanics of night-time hot flashes, and what really works to get your nights back. In French with English subtitles.
