“I feel like I’m losing my mind.”
If you’ve said this in your 30s, 40s, or 50s… keep reading.
We hear this story over and over from women:
➡️ “I have no energy.”
➡️ “I can’t remember anything.”
➡️ “My anxiety is through the roof.”
➡️ “I feel overwhelmed all the time.”
➡️ “I don’t feel like myself anymore.”
They finally go to their primary care provider hoping for answers…
And they’re told:
“Your labs are normal.”
“You probably have depression, anxiety, or you could be bipolar”
đź’Š Prescription written.
đź§ Hormones never discussed.
🩺 No deeper conversation.
Here’s the truth:
✨ Hormone changes in perimenopause and menopause can absolutely affect mood, memory, sleep, energy, focus, and anxiety.
✨ These symptoms are real, biological, and common.
✨ And many women are dismissed before the conversation even begins.
Does this mean every symptom is “just hormones”?
No. Mental health is real and important too.
But women deserve:
✔️ To be heard
✔️ To have a full conversation
✔️ To look at the whole picture — hormones, lifestyle, stress, sleep, nutrition, AND mental health
Not just a quick label and a prescription.
There is also a timing factor many women don’t know about. There is a window of opportunity during perimenopause and early menopause when hormone therapy may be most beneficial and safest for appropriate candidates. Missing that window can limit options later.
You do not have to live feeling exhausted, foggy, anxious, and unlike yourself.
And you do not have to stay with a provider who doesn’t listen.
At Navarre Primary Care, our providers take this stage of life seriously.
We slow down. We listen. We look at the full picture.

We work with women to explore:
• Symptoms
• History
• Lifestyle factors
• Labs when appropriate
• And whether hormone therapy, nutrition changes, supplements, or other support may help
Because feeling “crazy” is often a woman’s body saying:
“Something is changing — please pay attention.”
You deserve care that actually hears you.
