Starting an estrogen patch? Let’s talk about the things women are often surprised by…

As a pharmacist, I’ve heard women say ‘Why didn’t I know this?’

✨Weight changes

Studies indicate that weight should not shift HOWEVER; some women notice weight gain or feel “puffy” after starting.

That doesn’t mean it’s not workin, but it does mean your body may need time, dose adjustments, or additional support.

This can be extremely surprising for some ladies!

✨The Adhesive

Yes… the stickiness is real.

It can leave residue, attract lint, or just feel annoying on the skin. It is a small detail, but one many women don’t expect.

A gentle oil like jojoba oil is perfect for removing adhesive after patch removal.

✨It can be helpful for some menopause symptoms but not all.

HRT may not fully help genitourinary symptoms like vaginal dryness, discomfort, or urinary symptoms often need local estrogen, not just systemic.

Be sure to talk to a medical professional for any support you may need.

Hormone therapy can be incredibly helpful but it’s not one-size-fits-all.

Save this if you’re starting (or thinking about) an estrogen patch and be sure to follow for more pharmacist bases information on feeling your best in menopause and beyond!

You would think as a pharmacist, I would have menopause figured out…

When I first entered menopause, even as a health professional, I felt I had to figure this out on my own.

I soon learned what worked for my friend, favorite influencer, podcast guest… didn’t work for me.

For me, It was about learning to listen to MY body.

I see so many women frustrated because they’re doing everything “right” and still not feeling their best.

But the truth is—there is no one-size-fits-all in menopause.

If you’re in that trial and error phase right now… you’re not doing it wrong, you’re figuring it out on your way to feeling more like you again!

What worked for someone else in their menopause journey but not for you? I would love to hear!

POV: You’re in menopause doing everything “right”…

and still don’t feel like yourself.

I’ve been think about this a lot recently. Back in our grandmother’s day there was no counting steps, obsessing over protein or overthinking every health choice.

Even in Blue Zones where many people age healthy and strong it is about movement, healthy choices, rest , connection.

As a pharmacist, I see this every day.

It’s not about doing more—it’s about focusing on what actually matters. Listening to our bodies is one of those things.

✨If you are tired… rest… today may not be the day for 10,000 steps.

✨Are you fueling your body but not overeating to just get to a protein goal?

✨ Is something not working for you ( for example fasting ) but you stick with it because that’s what you ‘should’ do?

Now may be the time to get back to basics and listen to what your body is telling you.. less may be more.

Follow for simple, science-backed strategies that actually work.

As a pharmacist, I’ve seen how life-changing hormones can be for women in midlife.

But I’ve also seen the other side where women are doing “everything right”—starting hormones—and still feeling exhausted, inflamed, and frustrated.

Many women are surprised that they don’t immediately start feeling better when starting HRT because some do!

Hormones are powerful but they are not a replacement for the foundations your body still depends on.

✨ Sleep is where your body repairs

✨ Muscle is what protects your metabolism

✨ Nutrition that fuels your day

✨Supplements for an added boost of healthy aging

✨ Consistency is what actually creates change

Midlife isn’t about chasing one solution. Now more than ever it is about supporting your body from every angle.

Ageless isn’t just about fixing hormones.

It’s about protecting your energy every day!

Agree or surprised? I’d truly love to hear where you are in your journey.

Be sure to follow along for pharmacist recommended supplements and strategies to feel your best in menopause and beyond.

I couldn’t help but jump on the 90’s trend!

As a young pharmacist in the 90’s it was all about pills over prevention and not have we come a long way!

Knowledge is power and women deserve to not accept symptoms as normal and feel their best at every age!

Swipe to see some of the shifts I’ve made in counseling and for my own health as well.

Follow along for more pharmacist recommendations to look and feel your best at every stage of life.

If you’re a pharmacist 👩🏻‍⚕️ be sure to say ‘Hi’ , I love meeting other pharmacists here too!

These four supplements are science backed to help with anxiety, as a pharmacist, always surprised more women don’t know about them!

Here’s what the research actually says about anxiety in midlife… (and what helps).

Feeling overwhelmed, wired, or just not like yourself lately?

It’s not “just stress.” Hormonal shifts in midlife can directly impact mood, sleep, and anxiety levels.

As a pharmacist of 37 years—and a woman in midlife myself—these are the supplements backed by studies I pay attention to:

✨ Magnesium

Shown to improve anxiety and depression scores on validated scales—especially in women under stress.

✨ Vitamin D

Low levels are strongly linked to mood disorders. Supplementation has been shown to improve symptoms of generalized anxiety.

✨ Ashwagandha

An adaptogen clinically studied to lower cortisol and significantly improve scores on the Hamilton Anxiety Scale.

✨ Probiotics

Your gut and brain are deeply connected and specific strains have been shown to reduce anxiety and support mood ( look for lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) .

🕒 Most studies show benefits in as little as 4–12 weeks and quality, dosing, and consistency matter.

And always check with your healthcare provider before starting anything new, especially if you’re already dealing with anxiety.

Be sure to check out my favorites here.

As a pharmacist and a woman going through menopause myself, I see this all the time…

Women struggling with feminine dryness, itching, and discomfort—but feeling too embarrassed to talk about it.

So many ladies just assume it’s “normal” after menopause and suffer in silence.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

That’s why I love Radiancy—a thoughtfully formulated blend designed to support women from the inside out during midlife.

✨ A probiotic blend to help support vaginal flora and balanced pH

✨ Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Sakura to support healthy, glowing skin

✨ Collagen, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid for hydration and natural lubrication

The best part? While supporting feminine wellness, it’s also helping support healthier skin and hair, because feeling confident in midlife matters.

Menopause isn’t the end of feeling like yourself…

it’s the start of taking care of yourself in a new way.

✨ If you’re ready to support your body from the inside out, check out Radiancy today with code BBLISAA10 and comment link and I’ll send a link right to you!
