In clinical studies, hypnotherapy led to decreased depression and anxiety—and patients reported feeling less fatigued and more at ease (Lindeløv, 2019).

For those navigating hormonal transitions, chronic pain, or overwhelm, hypnotherapy provides a bridge between body and mind—helping you reclaim calm and control.

Am I doing ad hominem attacks right?

I'm all for dialogue and am very frustrated by arguments devoid of nuance, especially in an underrepresented area of medicine. I'm a bit ashamed to say that I just sat quietly watching the degradation of my colleagues unfold until I, too, was restricted (silenced) by Dr. Gunter's account after raising my hand. I'm not just talking about "big names" in menopause; she attacks anyone who disagrees with her or points out areas of uncertainty.

This pinned post beautifully illustrates my original point regarding black and white thinking that ignores inconvenient details; many thanks to (can't tag) drjengunter for posting it.

🎃 It’s that time of year when things get a little spooky, even during your visit with your provider.

Here are a few phrases that can send a chill down your spine:

"Ge***al adhesions" — when tissue sticks together after low estrogen levels

“Super flasher” — people who experience hot flashes much earlier and much longer than average

“Osteopenia” — early bone loss

“Surgical menopause” — menopause that begins suddenly after o***y removal

But there’s no need to panic.
At Phases Clinic, we take the time to explain, support, and guide you through every step — because clarity is the best cure for fear.

✨You’re not alone in this phase.

Ever notice how your mind feels tired but your body stays on high alert?
That’s often cortisol — your stress hormone — keeping you wired when you’re ready to rest.

For some, that looks like:
😴 Falling asleep but waking up at 3 AM
🍫 Craving sugar or caffeine all day
💢 Feeling irritable or anxious for “no reason”

Here’s the real question ↓
👉 When you’re stressed, what helps you reset fastest — sleep, movement, quiet time, or something else entirely?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but your patterns can tell a lot about how your body manages stress and recovery.

Walking rants must now happen in the dark due to living in Seattle and having a toddler 😆

Can we please be serious? Lacking high quality data that something works is not the same as having high quality data that something doesn't work.

Expert opinion DOES matter. It's an acceptable level of evidence in medical guidelines when data is lacking.

Can you relate? This patient has been trying to get hormone therapy to prevent osteoporosis (an approved indication) FOR YEARS. We finally started, and she's having benefits far beyond expectations.

What has been your experience when you discuss hormone therapy and menopause with your providers?

Brain fog and cognitive fatigue can feel endless—but hypnotherapy may help.

Case studies show large and lasting improvements in working memory after just a few hours of treatment (Lindeløv et al., 2017).

Patients also reported reduced anxiety and fatigue, a reminder that clarity of mind begins with calm within.

✨ Reconnect your mind and body through focused rest and rewired thought patterns.

For many living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), braces, supports, and adaptive tools become essential companions. But too often, society teaches us to see them as symbols of weakness. In reality, they represent wisdom, protection, and self-advocacy.

Braces help stabilize hypermobile joints, reduce fatigue, and prevent micro-injuries that can worsen pain. They’re not about limitation—they’re about freedom. The freedom to move with less fear, to go for a walk without worrying about a knee slipping, or to type without triggering wrist pain.

Think of bracing the same way you’d think of wearing glasses: it’s a smart way to meet your body’s needs. You’re not giving up—you’re giving yourself the support to show up for life in a safer, more sustainable way.

✨ Adaptation is not surrender. It’s strategy. It’s self-compassion in motion. And it’s a beautiful part of living life with EDS on your own terms.

Do you use braces or supports in your daily life? Comment below—what’s helped you the most? Let’s make adaptive living something to celebrate, not hide. 💪

The Femring is a flexible ring that provides systemic estrogen—meaning it supports your whole body, not just local tissues. It’s replaced every three months, making it a great option for those who prefer fewer daily steps or need steady estrogen for pelvic comfort.

It’s not the right fit for everyone, but for some, it’s the perfect balance of convenience and symptom relief.

Tossing and turning at night? 😴
Sleep disturbances affect up to half of people in perimenopause and menopause—and they can directly influence weight gain.

When sleep is poor:
⬆️ Ghrelin (hunger hormone) rises
⬇️ Leptin (satiety hormone) drops

That means your appetite may increase, and your body stores fat more easily.

✨ Prioritize good sleep as part of your midsection weight management, your hormones will thank you.
