Thank you Heather for spreading the word!

What was the best Christmas gift you got?

I gifted myself something way better than a robe and slippers: feeling like myself again.

Big shoutout to Bloom Hormone Health for helping me take control of this not-so-glamorous chapter of life we don’t talk about enough. Hormones don’t just mess with women, men get hit too. Energy tanks. Sleep goes out the window. Mood is like a rollercoaster. Weight shows up uninvited. Libido is playing games. And somehow you’re told, “Your labs are normal,” while you feel anything but normal.

If your wife has ever said, “Maybe get your testosterone checked,” listen to her. Seriously let this be the one time you do listen to her. Low testosterone is incredibly common in men and women, especially after 40. You don't have to feel like this, you can get back to feeling like yourself because “this is just what getting older is” doesn't have to be the answer.

Huge thanks to Dr. Bauer and her incredible team for explaining things clearly, treating me like a human instead of a chart, and actually helping me feel better, not brushed off.

Hormones 101: The bone loss that women experience - the kind that eventually leads to osteoporosis - starts even before menopause. Estrogen deficiency, which begins 1-3 years before menopause sets in, causes accelerated bone loss that lasts for up to 10 years after the menopausal transition. Estrogen replacement during this time is crucial in maintaining the balance between bone loss and bone formation.

Did you know the typical age of menopause is 52, but women can start to experience symptoms 10 years before that?!?

It might be hard to believe, but men can go through “andropause”, a decline that is comparable to what women go through in menopause. Men’s hormone levels decrease as they age in a way that affects mood, energy, libido, and mental clarity. What is remarkable is that some men don’t even realize they are experiencing these effects until after they adjust their levels... and start feeling like themselves again.

Men and Women, have you noticed changes in your recovery after a workout? Are you not bouncing back the way you used to? Feeling sore and needing additional recovery time after working out can be very discouraging, when you are just trying to stay in shape! Optimizing your hormones can go a long way to make those workouts better and help you feel good afterwards too!

Do you get the feeling from your doctor that you are crazy or just getting old? You might be perimenopausal! It is not fair to you that most physicians do not know how to manage this delicate stage of life.
