We're so glad to have Heather Rooney speaking truth and advocating for good hormone care in Fort Wayne!

Mother Nature is out here having a full-blown hot flash today making me excited for summer and honestly… I’ll take that heat over my own any day.

Because here’s the thing, dealing with your own hot flashes, extreme mood swings, exhaustion, brain fog, low libido… is not fun.

That’s why I finally went to Bloom Hormone Health. Dr Bauer didn’t just glance at my labs and send me on my way, she actually listened. Like, listened to me. My symptoms. My life. My body. Not just numbers on a page.

If you’ve been told “your labs are normal” but you still feel very much not normal, this is your sign. Schedule a consultation and have a real conversation with people who take your hormones seriously.

You can’t control Mother Nature’s hot flashes, but you can get help with your own.

Thank you Heather for spreading the word!

What was the best Christmas gift you got?

I gifted myself something way better than a robe and slippers: feeling like myself again.

Big shoutout to Bloom Hormone Health for helping me take control of this not-so-glamorous chapter of life we don’t talk about enough. Hormones don’t just mess with women, men get hit too. Energy tanks. Sleep goes out the window. Mood is like a rollercoaster. Weight shows up uninvited. Libido is playing games. And somehow you’re told, “Your labs are normal,” while you feel anything but normal.

If your wife has ever said, “Maybe get your testosterone checked,” listen to her. Seriously let this be the one time you do listen to her. Low testosterone is incredibly common in men and women, especially after 40. You don't have to feel like this, you can get back to feeling like yourself because “this is just what getting older is” doesn't have to be the answer.

Huge thanks to Dr. Bauer and her incredible team for explaining things clearly, treating me like a human instead of a chart, and actually helping me feel better, not brushed off.

Hormones 101: The bone loss that women experience - the kind that eventually leads to osteoporosis - starts even before menopause. Estrogen deficiency, which begins 1-3 years before menopause sets in, causes accelerated bone loss that lasts for up to 10 years after the menopausal transition. Estrogen replacement during this time is crucial in maintaining the balance between bone loss and bone formation.

Did you know the typical age of menopause is 52, but women can start to experience symptoms 10 years before that?!?

It might be hard to believe, but men can go through “andropause”, a decline that is comparable to what women go through in menopause. Men’s hormone levels decrease as they age in a way that affects mood, energy, libido, and mental clarity. What is remarkable is that some men don’t even realize they are experiencing these effects until after they adjust their levels... and start feeling like themselves again.
