Absolutely. Menopause isn’t just about hot flashes.

Many women experience symptoms that are often misunderstood or misdiagnosed—especially when hormonal changes present as mood changes, fatigue, sleep disruption, or symptoms that can resemble depression or other mental health concerns.

Listening closely to what the body is communicating matters. Accurate listening leads to accurate diagnosis, thoughtful treatment, and truly comprehensive care.

Most women begin the menopausal transition in their 40s and 50s, but some can have symptoms in their 30s. Mayo Clinic doctors say symptoms are “still vastly under-treated."

It's all a matter of perspective...

Doc C here with a quick reflection on an art piece I saw in the magnificent McNay Art Museum in San Antonio last week, when I was there to lecture.

This is "Blue ( #267)" done in 2002 by Susie Rosmarin. Acrylic oil on canvas. Looking at this piece from different angles gives you dramatically different perspectives. From an2 dimensionl art point of view, this is similar to the way that we look at patients here at CWI. Our perspective includes the mind, the underlying biological issues (hormones, gene SNP's, nutrients, etc.), and behavior. From examining the patient from all different perspectives, we come to an overall "picture" of the patient and where we should start.

Another way I have found myself looking at patients is with a "musical" lens, looking at the four-part harmony of their lives (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), and sometimes multipart polyphony.

Hormones - as they wind through a patient's life - can ebb and flow. Neurotransmitters can go up and down. Mood can go up and down. Psychosocial stress can go up and down. Perimenopause/menopause - as well as andropause - can have PROFOUND impacts on the "melodic line" of hormones. Psychosocial stress can induce discordant harmonies.

The bottom line: different perspectives are a good thing and give a dramatically better, more in-depth understanding of a patient's life. And, let us not forget, just like art: their BEAUTY as a human being.

We may or may not have something really cool to share with you before too long. It also may or may not have to do with new additions to CWI, including staff and treatment options. 😉

Thyroid problems are far more common than most people realize, and yet they’re also one of the most frequently overlooked causes of fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, anxiety, low mood, hair loss, and sleep disruption.

Why are thyroid issues missed so often?

Because most routine healthcare relies on one single lab test: TSH.

And while TSH is useful, it only tells you what the pituitary thinks of your thyroid, not what your thyroid is actually doing, or whether your body is converting and using thyroid hormones properly.

Here at CWI, we regularly see patients whose symptoms were dismissed for years because their “TSH was normal.” Instead, they were told that their symptoms are “just stress,” “just aging,” or “just depression." In reality, their thyroid physiology simply hasn’t been evaluated thoroughly, even though deeper testing here at CWI clearly showed:

• Low free T3 (your active thyroid hormone)
• Impaired T4 → T3 conversion
• Elevated reverse T3 blocking hormone activity
• Autoimmune markers indicating Hashimoto’s
• Nutritional deficiencies affecting thyroid function

If you’re experiencing symptoms without answers, you deserve a more complete workup. Thyroid problems are treatable, but only when they’re truly identified.

At Cady Wellness Institute, we take a functional, whole-system approach to diagnosing thyroid issues so you can finally get clarity and finally start feeling like yourself again.

If you suspect your thyroid is being overlooked, reach out. We’re here to help.

Every December, nutcrackers show up everywhere, standing tall, strong, and ready for action. And oftentimes, many men quietly feel anything but that. 😅

Low testosterone doesn’t announce itself with a drumroll. It sneaks in as:
low energy, low motivation, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, poor sleep, mood shifts, and a disappearing spark that most guys assume is “just getting older.”

Here’s the truth: that’s not aging, that’s biology out of balance.

With properly guided Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for men, we can safely and effectively help restore:
strength, energy, resilience, metabolic function, confidence, and mental clarity. No gimmicks. Just real physiology done properly.

This holiday season, if you feel more like a broken wooden soldier than a fully assembled nutcracker, it might be time to check your hormones.

Come see us today to see what your hormones are actually doing and what can be done about them.

Balance your hormones and reclaim your vitality with bioidentical hormone therapy in Newburgh. Natural, precise solutions for hormonal health.

Thanks for sharing this 104FM WIKY! We want to make sure women out there are well-informed when making decisions about their health, and for too long, there's been unfounded fears surrounding BHRT due to this poor study.
