Do you relate to these symptoms:

Tired but wired, trouble falling asleep, waking at 3 AM, cravings that feel impossible to control, irritability, anxiety shifts, or feeling overwhelmed by things that never used to bother you.

These are some of the most common signs of hormone stress that I see in women in their forties and fifties. When cortisol is out of rhythm, your entire system works harder to keep you balanced. For many women, this does not show up as one clear symptom. It shows up as a slow build of feeling off, overstimulated, or like your body and mind are not syncing the way they used to.

Your body is not giving up. It is asking for steadiness, nourishment, and support. These symptoms are information that your hormones and nervous system need a different approach, not more pressure or pushing through.

If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Midlife hormone changes are real, and they deserve to be understood.

Drop the symptoms you have noticed lately.

Hormone therapy in BRCA carriers has long been viewed with caution and fear.

A study presented in 2025 at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) followed more than 1,300 women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, the majority of whom entered menopause early due to preventive surgery.

Contrary to long-standing concerns, the study found that menopausal hormone therapy was not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in this high-risk group. Certain hormone formulations showed no added risk, and estrogen-only therapy was actually linked to a lower risk of breast cancer.

This doesn’t suggest that hormone therapy is appropriate for everyone. It does, however, underscore the need for nuanced, evidence-based, and individualized discussions—rather than decisions driven by blanket fear.

While additional research is still needed, these findings represent an important step forward in improving menopause care for BRCA carriers.

Menopause isn’t just about declining hormones.

It’s about how your body adapts to a whole new rhythm. And one mineral quietly plays a starring role in how smooth (or rocky) that transition feels: magnesium.

What most women don’t realize?

Your magnesium needs go up during menopause… just when your body becomes less efficient at absorbing and holding onto it.

Are you taking magnesium daily?

Measuring FSH can give you a better picture of how much estradiol is actually reaching your cells. It is not perfect, but it is a much more useful measure than just looking at an estradiol level alone.

FSH helps show what your body is actually experiencing at the receptor level, which is what really matters for hormone function.

There’s a myth that if you don’t have a uterus, you don’t need progesterone. That is not true.

Progesterone does far more than protect the uterus. It supports your brain, bones, breasts, mood, metabolism, and sleep. Many women actually have estrogen dominance, where estrogen is too high relative to progesterone, and removing the uterus does nothing to fix that imbalance.

Synthetic progestins, like those in some IUDs or birth control, are not the same as natural progesterone. They don’t provide the same benefits and can contribute to fatigue, low libido, mood swings, and weight gain.

Micronized, bioidentical progesterone is key for overall health. It helps calm the nervous system, protect your bones and brain, and balance mood.

Too many women are missing out on this simple but powerful hormone. You deserve care that truly supports your body.

When your ovaries stop producing estradiol, certain parts of your body start aging faster than usual. Your heart, your bones, and your brain are the most vulnerable. This is why estrogen deficiency is linked to heart disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s.

Hormone replacement therapy helps fill the gap between the estrogen your body used to make and what it needs now. Starting HRT earlier can help prevent these changes, while starting later can still slow further aging.

The goal is simple: support your body so it stays strong, healthy, and resilient through menopause and beyond.

Testing your hormones is not useless. 🤯

The key is knowing when to test, what to test, and how to interpret the results. Hormone testing can shed a lot of light on what’s really happening in your body.

Timing matters. If your cycle is inconsistent or you’ve had a partial hysterectomy but still ovulate, tracking your body temperature can help guide when to check your hormones.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all “normal.” Ideal hormone levels depend on your symptoms, health history, and overall picture. Always look at the whole person, not just the labs.

Other labs can also be helpful to see the bigger picture of your health.

Advocate for yourself. You deserve answers and support that actually works.

Your bones need a serum estradiol level of at least 30 pg/mL to maintain strength and density. 🦴

Your brain also depends on estrogen for memory, mood, and cognitive function. 🧠

Here’s something interesting: midlife men actually have higher estradiol levels than postmenopausal women. They also have much lower risks of osteoporosis and dementia.

While lifestyle plays a major role in both conditions, low estrogen is thought to be a significant contributing factor for women.

Estrogen is not just about reproduction. It is essential for long-term health.

Feeling exhausted and struggling to lose weight? Your thyroid might be trying to tell you something.

One common issue that often gets overlooked is elevated reverse T3. This form of thyroid hormone can block active T3 from doing its job, leaving you tired, sluggish, and frustrated.
Reverse T3 can rise with chronic stress, inflammation, calorie restriction, or certain illnesses. Testing for it provides valuable insight into how your thyroid is truly functioning.

If your thyroid labs look “normal” but you still don’t feel well, it may be time to dig deeper. You deserve answers and a plan that helps your body work with you, not against you.

About 10% of women under 50 have PCOS, but around 70% of them don’t even know it.

That means millions of women are struggling with irregular cycles, acne, hair loss, weight gain, or fertility challenges and not getting the answers they need.

Leaving PCOS untreated isn’t harmless. It increases your risk for breast and endometrial cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and more.

If your cycles are irregular, you need to know what’s happening with your hormones. Supporting progesterone and improving insulin sensitivity are key for protecting your uterus, breasts, and metabolic health.

Ask your provider about a full hormone and metabolic panel: FSH, LH, testosterone, DHEA, AMH, glucose, A1c, and lipids.
You deserve answers and support that actually helps your body thrive.

Have you been screened for PCOS?
