🚨Ignoring hormones is not the move.

Hormone dysfunction can show up in so many ways. If we aren’t addressing health through a hormone lens - we’re going to miss things.

Hormones are the messengers that control everrrrrrything. Definitely a BFD 🥳

Constipation & bloating are not miralax deficiencies. 😳

In this case, suboptimal thyroid is impacting gut.

Low thyroid = slow gut motility (p**p problems) + low stomach acid (SIBO and dysbiosis)

Low stomach acid leads to nutrient deficiencies. Hormones, thyroid, gut, brain allllll need nutrients. It can become a viscous cycle. Especially if the only focus is symptom management.

I’m a functional medicine NP and I take a hormone-centric approach to care. Everything is viewed through the lens of hormones!

The body doesn’t work in isolation. Looking at th body through a hormone lens is necessary because our hormones react to, respond to and influence all our body systems.

If you’re ready for a deeper dive and more comprehensive analysis- you’re in the right place!

Start with labs + a 60 minute visit with me! Link is in the comments!

I see women in person and via telehealth in NH and ME.

Reducing estrogen in perimenopause is not the move. 👎

Supporting estrogen detox —> always a good idea. But not with a compound that simultaneously reduces estrogen levels.

Perimenopause marks a time of cycle discord, of recalibration between the brain and the ovaries. The goal is to support the entire brain-ovarian axis.

Taking a functional approach to hormones means understanding the system on a deeper level and making connections between your hormones and every other system of your body.

That’s exactly what I do in my practice.

I work with women in NH & ME - both in person and virtual. If you’re ready for more clarity around your hormones & health, comment CLARITY below to get started with labs!

Kind of busy over here manifesting growing my practice so even more women can get the answers & support they deserve! 💪🏼

Because women do deserve so much better and our conventional medical system is not giving them answers about their hormones.

I’m happy to combine the “woo-woo” with the science - because it’s where the best medicine happens. 🔮🪄🧪

If you’ve ever felt like something is being missed in your labs, it happens. 😵‍💫

While thyroid isn’t the only reason for heavy periods - in this case, unmanaged hypothyroid and autoimmune disease were huge contributors.

And despite being on medication, she was still hypothyroid. Medication also does not address autoimmunity.

If you’re ready for more depth and more answers —> this is your sign. 💫

If I could give my younger self some tips - I might have figured out how to overcome the heavy & painful periods sooner.

It sucked having to live on ibuprofen. And even cancel outings because of pain.

I’m happy to be beyond that!

Which one of these resonates with you the most?

PCOS isn’t because of your ovaries.

Despite its name, the ovaries are the fall-out of the metabolic changes that occur in PCOS. They are not the primary driver of PCOS.

High androgens, like testosterone or DHEA, are the hallmark of PCOS.

High androgens then lead to metabolic dysfunction:

🚫Impaired ovulation —> irregular, heavy periods
🚫Low progesterone —> anxiety and irritability
🚫High blood sugar —> weight gain, fatigue, constant hunger
🚫Low estrogen —> brain fog, fatigue

Conventional treatments are to shutdown hormones with birth control. Sometimes add metformin for metabolic support.

There’s often no deeper conversation about:

❔What is PCOS
❔How it’s impacting your body globally
❔Lifestyle changes that help support metabolic health

When you work with someone who goes deeper, you get a deeper understanding of your body, your hormones and how it all interconnects.

You get real interventions and real support that can be life changing, not simply a medication to mask symptoms.

Depression was my constant companion for many years.

Changing how I eat was the gateway into healing from years of suffering.

It worked for me in ways other things didn’t, including therapy and medication.

(Also not me telling you to quit either of those - they both play an important role).

The way I ate at the peak of the depression is a far cry from how I eat now.

Captain Crunch for breakfast?? Who even was I? 😂

To say food changed my life might be cliche - but cliche’s exist for a reason.

There’s a reason nutrition is a huge part of the work I do - because it is truly life changing 🙏🏼

If you’ve ever been told progesterone declines first in perimenopause, this is for you:

It is true we see declines in progesterone first.

But this perspective is narrow-minded. How naive of us to assume our hormones aren’t all connected? 🤔

Perimenopause marks a systemic and significant change in our hormonal coordination.

The symphony of our hormones changes.

Estradiol peaks around day 12 in a 28 day cycle. Estradiol’s peak helps prime the progesterone receptors - which means estradiol is fundamental for progesterone signaling.

In perimenopause, estradiol is also seeing less robust peaks. While ovarian production of progesterone declines, receptor receptivity to progesterone declines because of the changes in estradiol.

Which means: it’s not simply about declining progesterone levels.

We have to look at the entire picture - we can’t be so tunnel-visioned that we relegate perimenopause to a single declining hormone, one at a time, and ignore the rest of the system.
