Menopause is not just a gynecological issue! 🤯

It affects your heart- cardiovascular risks increase when your estrogen drops!
It affects your metabolic health- recent studies have shown that women who utilize hormone replacement may have less risk of developing type 2 diabetes!
It affects your bone health (endocrine and musculoskeletal)- there is a significant increase in risk for osteopenia, osteoporosis and fracture in women with low estrogen!
Even brain health- estrogen stimulates happy hormones and progesterone keeps you calm!

Your s*x hormones affect your whole body!!! 👩‍⚕️😉

Did you know that "normal" is not the same as "optimal"! 🤯

Lots of people are told that their labs are normal, but that does not mean optimal! This goes for vitamin levels, hormones, cardiac markers and more! If you have been told your labs are "normal", find someone who will help you get to "optimal"! 👩‍⚕️😊

Good info!!

🧬 Did You Know? Breast Cancer Cells Can Double Every 90 Days

This visual shows how breast cancer cells may grow over time. In the early years, tumors can remain too small to be detected by mammography, even as cells continue to multiply.

That’s why monitoring physiological changes in the body matters. Screening thermography focuses on detecting heat and vascular pattern changes that may occur during early cellular activity — long before a mass becomes large enough to be seen structurally.

Early awareness gives you more time to:
✔ Monitor changes over time
✔ Work closely with your healthcare provider
✔ Explore early intervention and prevention strategies
✔ Make informed decisions about your breast health

Thermography is not a replacement for mammography, but it can be a valuable complementary tool for monitoring breast health.

📅 Stay proactive. Stay informed. Your health timeline matters.

Do you struggle with PCOS?? Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
Have you had labs done? Has your provider addressed more than just your Testosterone and Progesterone levels?
You should have these additional labs- fasting insulin, blood sugar, A1C, DHEA, Cortisol, CRP!
Inflammation, insulin resistance, high blood sugars and adrenal stress also need to be assessed when considering this diagnosis! And don't forget Estradiol to be sure there isn't estrogen dominance as well!

Have you been started on Testosterone cream?? Where do you apply it??

If you apply it to your vulvovaginal tissue it works in that area. This can help with lubrication, overall tissue health and comfort.

If you apply it to your inner thighs, abdomen, or gluteus, it will have systemic absorption. This means it will raise your testosterone levels. This can help with mood, energy, and libido.

Happy Monday! Hoping everyone had a great weekend!!

Tid bit of info for the day---

Did you know that hormones affect gut health? 🫣 A recent study suggests that menopausal women are 3 times more likely to have gastrointestinal issues, meaning constipation, irritable bowel, GERD, and more. When your hormones are reduced, there is a shift in your gut microbiome!

Take care of your gut and your hormones!!! 👩‍⚕️

Do you suffer from migraines?? Have you tried to adjust your diet??
Studies have suggested that up to 70% of migraine triggers come from a person's diet 😬.
Gluten, soy, dairy, sugar, caffeine, and certain additives can definitely be triggers! Try to eliminate some of these foods! A food sensitivity test may also be helpful!

Have you asked to have your s*x hormones checked and you get the response..."hormones fluctuate too much".
Do not let this be an excuse for a provider to not test them. There are certain times of your cycle that are best, but there are also ranges for every stage in your cycle. There are ratios between hormones that should exist at all times! This is how you can diagnose estrogen dominance or lack of certain hormones!
The more you know! 👩‍⚕️👍

Why is diet soda so bad for you......Aspartame and Sucralose!
These artifical sweeteners wipe out the good bacteria in your gut (up to 50% of the good bacteria in your gut) and can destroy the mucosal lining in your stomach and gut!
This can cause leaky gut, acid reflux, bloating, food sensitivity, and SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth).
WATER!!! 👩‍⚕️😉
