💛 March is Endometriosis Awareness Month —and this one has been especially humbling for me. 💛

As someone who both treats and personally lives with endometriosis, I’ve been reminded recently just how complex this condition really is.
🎗️Endometriosis affects an estimated 10% (190 million) of reproductive age women worldwide. 🎗️

Endometriosis is often reduced to “painful periods.”
But in reality, it is so much more. Endo is a chronic inflammatory condition that is deeply influenced by:
• hormones
• immune function
• gut health
• sleep
• stress & central nervous system regulation
• nutrition, and more...

And yet, so many women are given limited options—without ever addressing the full picture.

💛 This is something I approach very differently in my practice.💛
Because managing symptoms is one thing…
but actually supporting the body at a deeper level is where real change happens.

If you’re struggling with endometriosis, you’re not alone.
And there are ways to support your body more fully.

💛 Happy to connect and continue the conversation.💛
Here are a few great accounts to follow to learn more about Endometriosis:

One of the biggest misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy is that it should work immediately.

Hormones are not like a pain medication.

When we start HRT we are:
• restoring estrogen receptor signaling
• improving sleep architecture
• stabilizing neurotransmitters
• rebalancing metabolism

Most women notice improvement in phases:

Week 1–2 → sleep + anxiety
Week 4–6 → energy + brain fog
Week 8–12 → libido + metabolism

If you started hormones and gave up after a few weeks, you may have stopped right before things were about to improve.

Hormone optimization is a process, not a quick fix.

If you’re struggling with perimenopause symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, or low libido, we help women (and men) address the root cause through comprehensive hormone evaluation and treatment.

Just this week, three women told me they were advised to “wait it out” (by their health providers) until their periods stopped for a full year before discussing hormone therapy.

This is simply not true.

Perimenopause can begin up to 10 years before menopause (yes, TEN years!!) and symptoms like poor sleep, mood changes, no libido, weight gain, and brain fog are not something women need to simply tolerate.

Thoughtful, individualized hormone care is based on symptoms, labs, and physiology — not some arbitrary timeline.

If you feel dismissed or unheard, it doesn’t mean your experience isn’t valid. It means you deserve a more nuanced conversation with a provider who understands the rollercoaster of hormones that accompany perimenopause.

✨If you’re over 35 and still being told “your labs look normal”… but you feel tired, puffy, moody, or just not yourself — it’s probably because the right labs were never checked. 💛
Here are 3 more tests I run for every hormone + metabolic client at Higher Med:
4️⃣ hsCRP — picks up early inflammation your P*P usually misses.
5️⃣ S*x Hormones — estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-s + SHBG actually explain your energy, mood, sleep, libido + metabolism.
6️⃣ Advanced Lipids (ApoB) — the REAL measure of cardiovascular risk (so much more accurate than a basic cholesterol panel).
You’re not “just getting older.” You’re under-tested — and you deserve answers that actually make sense.

✨ Labs Your P*P Rarely Orders
Feeling exhausted, sluggish option, or just off… but your doctor keeps telling you “everything looks normal”? Yeahhh… no. 😅 It’s usually because they’re not running the labs that actually explain what’s going on.
Today’s top 3 labs that change EVERYTHING after age 35 👇 1️⃣ Fasting Insulin This shows your true metabolic health (WAY before your A1C changes). High insulin = stubborn weight, carb cravings, afternoon crashes.
2️⃣ Full Thyroid Panel TSH alone doesn’t cut it. We need Free T3, Free T4 + antibodies to really understand why you’re tired, cold, gaining weight, or feeling inflamed.
3️⃣ Ferritin (Iron Storage) Low ferritin = fatigue, hair loss, brain fog, anxiety, low thyroid function… and no one checks it unless you’re already anemic. 🤦‍♀️
If these 3 aren’t being checked… you’re flying blind. And you deserve better than that.
Part 2 is coming next — I’ll break down the hormones, inflammation markers, and advanced lipids that every person over 35 should know about. 🔥

Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders. It’s for your brain, bones, and beyond. 🧠 💪

✨As women age, we naturally lose muscle mass, bone density, and sometimes—mental clarity. Creatine can help with all of that.
Studies show creatine supports:

• Muscle strength (yes, even if you don’t lift heavy) • Brain health and memory • Mood and energy (especially during perimenopause!) • Healthy aging and bone density

❇️ Creatine is one of the most researched supplements of all time, linked to over 64,000 peer reviewed articles—yet most women aren’t using it.

✨ Want to feel stronger, sharper, and more resilient as you age? Don’t sleep on creatine.

❇️ The Creatine I typically use & recommend to my patients is the Designs for Health Creatine Monohydrate— which uses a micronized technology for improved absorption & enhanced bioavailability to targeted muscle tissue. Plus, it won’t break the bank at $31 for a 90-day supply! DM with any questions :) Link in Bio for 10% off.

🌱✨ Finding Harmony: Blood Sugar Balance & Inflammation 🌡️💪

🔥⚖️ Did you know that maintaining stable blood sugar levels plays a crucial role in preventing inflammation within our bodies? Let’s explore the profound impact of blood sugar balance on our overall well-being! 🌿💚

🍩📈 When our blood sugar spikes, it triggers a cascade of reactions in our system, including the release of inflammatory molecules. This chronic inflammation can lead to a variety of health issues, such as insulin resistance, weight gain, and increased risk of chronic diseases. It’s time to take control of our health! 🙌💡

🥦📊 Here’s why blood sugar balance matters in preventing inflammation:

1️⃣ Stable blood sugar levels reduce the production of inflammatory cytokines, which are chemicals that can promote inflammation throughout our body. By keeping our blood sugar in check, we can curb this inflammation at its root! 🚫🔥

2️⃣ Balanced blood sugar helps regulate insulin levels. Insulin resistance, often caused by prolonged blood sugar imbalances, can contribute to chronic inflammation. By maintaining stable blood sugar, we support proper insulin function and reduce inflammation risks. 🌡️💪

3️⃣ When blood sugar levels fluctuate, oxidative stress can occur. This imbalance between antioxidants and harmful free radicals can trigger inflammation. By prioritizing blood sugar balance, we can mitigate oxidative stress and protect our cells from inflammation-related damage! This is also important for longevity & anti-aging. 🌈🌿

🌟💚 Take charge of your health with these simple steps for blood sugar balance!
