I remember when I was 46 and deep in the perimenopause trenches.

And I mean…. deep.

Looking back, there are SO many things I wish my 30-something-year-old self knew on how to prepare for this chapter of life. If I could go back in time, here’s what I’d tell my younger self on how to prepare for this journey…

First thing - START TRACKING EVERYTHING NOW! Periods, mood swings, energy levels, literally everything. I wish I had data from my 30s to compare to what was happening at 46, and even now as I enter menopause.

Second thing - To get my hormone levels tested while still in my 30’s.

Most doctors won’t test you until you’re already suffering. Most doctors also won’t talk about how common it is for women to enter perimenopause in their 30’s.

Third thing - “Normal” labs does not mean optimal. 90% of doctors will tell you everything is fine when it isn’t - just because your labs are “within range.”

Fourth thing - I would tell myself to not be afraid of starting bioidentical hormones (especially non-synthetic). I would start BHRT the moment I noticed my hormones starting to decline instead of suffering through the symptoms of declining estrogen: saggy skin, wrinkles, low libdo, no s*x drive, weight gain…and the list goes on.

Lastly - I would remind myself that this chapter of life could be an incredible one where I look and feel my best, and that I don’t need to suffer through the symptoms of perimenopause. I would have told myself to start bioidentical hormones the moment I noticed things shifting.

Ladies in perimenopause, what would you tell your younger self? Share below.

And if you’re thinking about starting bioidentical hormones but have been on the fence for some time, I invite you to book a free 20-minute call with me to discuss how they can benefit declining hormones and what we can do to support you on your perimenopausal journey.

Comment “BHRT” below, and I’ll send you a DM with info on how to book a call.

🙋🏻‍♀️ Feeling like you’re in perimenopause but not sure?

Maybe you’re reading this, are currently in your 40’s, and haven’t felt quite yourself the past few months. 🙃

Here’s what’s happening…

When our hormones shift, so does everything else: our metabolism…our mental health…our energy levels…and the way we function on a day-to-day basis.

These are some of the symptoms I experienced when I entered Perimenopause:

- Insomnia, not being able to sleep at night, or waking up in the middle of the night for no reason.
- Constantly feeling tired, yet wired.
- Feeling moody, anxious, depressed or irritable for no apparent reason.
- I felt like I couldn’t lose weight no matter how hard I tried. It seemed like what worked in my 20’s and 30’s just wasn’t anymore.

And many of my patients see me because they’re experiencing all the side effects, and all at once. 😭

This is why I recommend hormone testing.

In order to feel your absolute best, you have to know what’s going on internally.

These are some of the tests I recommend starting with that will confirm if you are in fact in perimenopause and will help give you a better idea of its time to start Hormone Therapy.

If you’ve never tested your hormones before, or would like to get a better idea of whether or not you’re in perimenopause, comment “ME” below, and I will send you info on how to test your hormones via my At-Home-Hormone Kit.

The brain fog you experience isn’t because you’re “getting older.”

Your mood swings aren’t because you’re “too emotional.”

Your sleep issues aren’t because you “just need to relax more.”

Every symptom you’re experiencing has a biological explanation.

Estrogen receptors are found throughout your body - your brain, your gut, your muscles, your bones.

When estrogen declines, everything changes.

Our metabolism slows down by 5-10%...

Our cortisol patterns shift...

Our neurotransmitter production decreases...

Insulin sensitivity changes...

For far too long, women have been gaslit about their perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms ❗️

Told to “just deal with it.”

Told it’s “all in their head.”

Told to “drink more water and get more sleep.”

But we deserve more than band-aid solutions.

We deserve to understand what’s happening with our body.

We deserve to feel like ourself again. 🙏🏻

In case any of you beautful ladies need to hear this today. I want to remind you that:

Your symptoms are valid.

Your experience is real.

And there ARE solutions that actually work.

Check out my profile to book a free 20-minute Discovery Call with me to learn about the solutions available: such as lifestyle changes, bioidentical hormones, and more.

Perimenopause can feel like you’re on a hormone roller coaster.🎢

Everyone knows about hot flashes, but there’s so much more that no one warn us about.

These are some of the most common symptoms my patients have experienced in
Perimenopause 👆

If you’re in Perimenopause, what symptoms have you noticed recently? Share below.

And if you’re looking to get a better idea of where your progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, insulin, and other hormones stand - I invite you to take my free hormone quiz (link in profile).

Starting bioidentical hormones isn’t about becoming a different person. It’s about becoming yourself again.

The version of you that existed before your hormones went completely rogue.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a natural alternative to traditional methods to help restore hormonal balance ( meaning it’s not synthetic ).

✨⬇️ Afew weeks after starting BHRT ✨⬇️

The weight start falling off, I started sleeping through the entire night without waking up, my mood shifted, my S3x drive returned, and I started feeling the best I had felt in years.

If you’re interested in learning more about BHRT, tap the link in my profile where I share how it differs from HRT and why I prefer it.

Ladies if you’re currently on HRT, drop a 🙋🏻‍♀️ below and share any changes you’ve noticed since getting started.

Many women enter my office after being prescribed antidepressants for their hormones.

They tend to experience hormone-related symptoms like mood changes, anxiety, depression, brain fog, and sleep disturbances that are mistakenly attributed to psychiatric conditions rather than hormonal fluctuations.

When we run labs, we find that their progesterone and estrogen levels are completely off and their mood changes are a result of their hormone imbalance and their declining hormones.

The problem is…many healthcare providers don’t routinely test hormone levels when women present mood symptoms, especially if the woman is in her 40s or early 50s when perimenopause commonly begins.

Instead, they are prescribed an antidepressant to help them improve their mood, sent on their way, and health care providers are missing the root cause: THEIR HORMONES.

Ladies, if you are experiencing mood changes, it can be helpful to track patterns (like whether symptoms correlate with menstrual cycles) and request hormone testing when appropriate.
