I’ve been speaking on this topic on my Menopause Minutes and I wanted to take it a step further and give you something to consider with your daughters and female loved ones in your life. I have spoken to a handful of women that have had very few menopausal symptoms and fully believe their hormones were more balanced because they either had less stress in their lives or they handled their stresses better. They also had very healthy eating habits in life and maintained it into adulthood along with a consistent exercise plan throughout their lives. I, on the other hand had a very stressful time in my 30’s and 40’s and cortisol levels got out of control and caused hormone imbalance as I started in my late 40’s. My body suffered and the symptoms of menopause started. As I’ve shared before, I didn’t have many symptoms but the brain fog was debilitating and scary because of my mom’s early onset Alzheimers. I truly feel if I had started a product (like we have today) that stabilized my own Human Growth Hormone, was abIe to control my stress, I feel my menopause journey could have been much easier.
My own symptoms. Do these sound familiar to you?
Once the symptoms started, like many of you, I was initially started on antidepressants because of the brain fog and lack of focus. I was basically treated for ADHD. Then the night sweats started and it was not until after a year or so of this that I brought up the potential of hormone imbalance and basically asked for labs to be drawn so we could evaluate and decide what plan of action to take. Many of you have already experienced having to be your own health care advocate as many physicians just are not equipped with education about menopause and truly do not know how to direct us. It is only when the physician (often an OB/GYN) is female and going through symptoms of menopause themselves that they become more understanding of your symptoms. Otherwise, you could go years researching what’s going on in your body and hundreds of possible solutions for your symptoms and not knowing what product to start unless you google them individually and check reviews on all. This could take 100’s of hours! I know! Because I wasted a lot of time trying to find what might work for me.
It should be talked about early on…
So…..what if we start educating our girls early about the changes to expect in life? Then they won’t be so surprised when changes start. I know that may sound difficult but let’s say when your girl is in freshmen year of high school, start talking to her about managing stress, keeping her body healthy with good nutrition, appropriate vitamin supplements and an exercise routine that she loves or can stay consistent with. Sadly, my mom was bulimic, so I did not learn about good nutrition from her. I knew her eating habits were not healthy so I started learning from another family member how to eat healthy and how to nourish my body and not starve it. I truly believe my Mom’s unhealthy eating habits along with hormone imbalance may have been two of the potential causes of early onset Alzheimer’s. Therefore, we want to educate well and early on so our girls will know the importance of being in “balance”. In our teens and early 20’s collagen and Human Growth Hormone (HGH) levels are at their highest. Both start declining in our 30’s. What if we could keep these at optimal levels? WE could change the way our girls age and help them have easier transitions into peri-menopause and beyond.
Pellets
Countless products and hours later a friend recommended BioTe Hormone Optimization (“pellets”). This treatment changed my life in terms of brain fog, muscle mass and stamina. I have to say it transformed my libido as well making my husband a very happy person despite any of my “craziness”!
Before I keep going, here’s a snippet of what you missed in our latest live!
HGH and many more needs
Collagen helps with joint pain, skin, hair and nails. HGH ( Human Growth Hormone) helps to naturally slow the cellular aging process helping you look and feel younger. HGH also helps improve cell regeneration, boost energy and stamina, enhance libido and sexual function, reduce body fat, improve sleep and increase skin elasticity. We all need these! If we can keep our HGH at the same levels as our 20-30’s then I truly believe our aging processes such as peri menopause can be less stressful and life changing.
So how do we keep our levels of HGH maintained like our 20’s and 30s? Well I’m glad you asked! I definitely do NOT suggest synthetic HGH as this can be very dangerous and cause numerous adverse reactions in your body. I started using a product called RENEW three months ago and have experienced a great improvement in my sleep, stamina and much improved mental clarity. I feel I am as productive or even more so than in my 30’s! This is such a relief for me since the brain fog has been so debilitating! The added benefits of cell regeneration, energy and stamina and greatly helped my tennis game! I strongly feel the deeper sleep I am experiencing (getting at least 7-8 hours each night) is helping with the mental clarity as well. I also feel its a great addition to my skin and hair care routines with R+F. So since I share EVERYTHING that works for ME with you I am providing a code to get the Renew at a discounted cost and of course you all get my best discount with R+F on all skin and hair care products.
