🌻 Thirsty (for Knowledge) Thursday 🌻
Hormone therapy is powerful — but it’s only half the story.

In perimenopause, your daily habits become your best medicine.

💪 Strength training maintains metabolism and bone density
🍳 Protein — especially in the AM — balances blood sugar and mood
😴 Prioritize sleep — it’s where hormones reset
💧 Hydrate consistently throughout the day
🧘‍♀️ Manage stress — cortisol can throw everything off

Balance isn’t just hormonal, it’s holistic.

🔬 Your Body Has a Story — Let’s Read It! 🔬

If you’ve been struggling with fatigue, bloating, brain fog, skin issues, or stubborn weight changes, your body might be trying to tell you something deeper. That’s where our advanced functional lab tests come in!

🧠 Toxin Burden Test – Identifies your exposure to environmental toxins, heavy metals, and chemicals that can affect energy, hormones, and detox pathways.

💃 Hormone Zoomer – Provides an in-depth look at your hormone balance, metabolism, and how well your body is regulating estrogen, cortisol, thyroid, and more.

🌿 Gut Zoomer – Evaluates your gut microbiome, inflammation markers, digestion, and the presence of harmful bacteria or yeast — all key players in immunity, mood, and metabolism.

🌾 Wheat Zoomer – Detects early signs of gluten sensitivity, intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”), and autoimmune reactivity that standard tests can miss.

The best part? 🙌
Most of these tests are simple at-home collections — just a small blood, urine, or stool sample that you mail back in. Results come directly to our office, and we’ll walk you through what they mean and how to take action to improve your health from the inside out.

If you’ve been wanting real answers instead of guesswork, this is your sign to start looking deeper. ✨

The best way to check out the different zoomers (or a combination of a few) is to visit our website and click "Shop"!

🎀 MAKE A SWITCH FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH 🎀

Did you know that many plastics — especially those containing BPA, BPS, and BPF — can leach chemicals into your food and drinks? These compounds act as endocrine disruptors, meaning they can mimic estrogen in the body and promote breast cell proliferation, a process linked to the development of certain hormone-related cancers. 💧

This month, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, we’re encouraging everyone to reduce plastic use and make simple swaps that protect your health long-term:

🥤 Store drinks in glass or stainless steel bottles
🥗 Use mason jars or Pyrex containers for meal prep and leftovers
🍱 Swap plastic wrap for beeswax wraps or silicone lids

These small, mindful changes can lower your exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals while also reducing waste — a win for your health and the planet. 🌎💪

Let’s honor this month by being proactive about prevention and supporting wellness from the inside out. 💕

Let’s make moves that matter. Together.
Is there a switch you would like more information on next Monday? Let's hear about it in the comments!

🌻 **Thirsty (for Knowledge) Thursday** 🌻

Let’s talk about *hormone replacement in perimenopause* — because timing and sequence truly matter.

During perimenopause, hormones don’t all decline at once — and understanding the order can make all the difference.
✨ *Progesterone* is the first to drop, leading to sleep disruption, anxiety, mood swings, and heavier cycles.
💪 *Testosterone* often follows, causing low libido, fatigue, and loss of motivation or muscle tone.
🌸 *Estradiol* gradually declines as cycles become more irregular, leading to hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and loss of bone and brain protection.

In this week’s video, I share how we approach each phase thoughtfully:
💛 Restoring *progesterone* first for calm and balance
💪 Adding *testosterone* topically to restore strength, mood, and libido
🌸 Supporting *DHEA* as needed — orally and/or vaginally — for energy and resilience
💧 Introducing *estradiol* transdermally and/ or vaginally to protect your brain, bones, heart, and vaginal tissue

Perimenopause doesn’t have to feel like a rollercoaster — it’s an opportunity to *rebalance, restore, and protect your long-term health.*

**🎥 It’s Perry Menopause!**
This comical video was played at the **A4M Women’s Health Summit: *Empowering the Menopause Journey – Science, Solutions, and Strategies*** — and honestly, it *perfectly* captures the wild ride so many of us experience.

Attending this conference was deeply meaningful for me. Every session reinforced what our conventional medical system continues to overlook: **women’s health isn’t a side specialty — it’s a foundation of human health.**

Menopause is *not* an inevitable decline. It’s a **whole-body transition** that deserves the same precision, compassion, and respect we give every other major physiological change.

Let’s laugh at the chaos together — and also keep pushing for change, awareness, and empowerment. 💛

There's another person in our marriage and she shows up at real weird times. Thanks Perry. __Thanks for being here! We’re Kim...

✨ Make a Switch Monday ✨
Let’s talk cookware! 🍳

Did you know that many conventional nonstick pans are made with chemicals like PFOA and PFAS—known as “forever chemicals”—that can leach into your food and build up in your body over time?

This week’s switch:
👉 Swap traditional nonstick pans for non-toxic alternatives like cast iron, stainless steel, or ceramic-coated cookware.

They’re safer, longer-lasting, and better for both your health and the planet 🌿

Small swaps. Big impact. 💚

Hey ladies 👋 it’s Michelle with Westplex Integrative Healthcare!
Welcome to Thirsty for Knowledge Thursday! 💧
Let’s clear up a big one — when should you actually start bioidentical hormone therapy?
Most women wait until symptoms are miserable…
But starting earlier can totally change your long-term health.
Let’s talk about why 👉

10/09/2025

🌸 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 🌸
At Westplex Integrative Healthcare, we’re highlighting Thermography — a gentle, radiation-free way to detect early signs of inflammation and vascular change long before disease develops.

✨ Because prevention starts with awareness, and early detection saves lives. 💗
