Testosterone is often labeled a “male hormone,” but all bodies, women and men, need it for brain, nerve, and metabolic health. Its role in multiple sclerosis is still being studied.

Here’s the current science:
• Small clinical trials in men with progressive MS showed reduced brain atrophy and improved walking speed
• Observational studies link lower testosterone levels with greater disability (association, not causation)
• Preclinical research suggests testosterone may support remyelination and neuroprotection

What’s missing:
• Large clinical trials
• Proof that testosterone modifies MS disease activity

Bottom line:
Hormone therapy is not a treatment for MS, but addressing true hormone deficiencies (in women and men) may support quality of life, energy, and neurological resilience when done thoughtfully and individually.

At Extraordinary Wellness, we use evidence, not trends, to guide care.

And I still almost went in a spiral. 🤣. Sometimes that feeling doesn’t go away, but I can recognize it and manage it very quickly.

Most practitioners also miss this first sign ! I don’t care what your labs show… normal is not normal. You have to know how to treat the symptoms in front of you along with the labs.

Just another reason why Fullscript is amazing. Not only do they carry high quality products and supplements, labs can be ordered at very reasonable prices making care accessible outside of the insurance scam.

🩸I put your plan in. You review and pay for it, print your lab order sheet, and take it to Quest. It’s that easy!

And we share this account …together as a team, between patient and provider, making it easy for communication and developing a plan 😊

The day after Christmas can feel…off.
The excitement fades. The house is quieter.
Your body is tired. And suddenly, everything catches up.

This is your reminder 🤍
Nothing is wrong with you.

Post-holiday stress doesn’t just live in your head, it shows up in the body:
• Low energy or fatigue
• Anxiety or emotional heaviness
• Bloating or inflammation
• Blood sugar swings
• Hormonal flares

Today isn’t about snapping back into a routine or “making up” for anything.
It’s about regulating your nervous system and offering your body what it needs.

Try just one gentle reset today:
✨ Eat a nourishing, protein-rich breakfast
✨ Step outside for fresh air and sunlight
✨ Drink more water than you think you need
✨ Go to bed earlier than usual

If your body feels stuck in stress mode, we’re here to help you reset 🤍

Merry Christmas from all of us at Extraordinary Wellness 🤍

May today bring:
✨ Rest without guilt
✨ Presence without pressure
✨ Nourishment for your body and soul

You are allowed to slow down.
You are allowed to enjoy.
You are allowed to simply be. ❤️💚

The holidays can be beautiful…and still hard on the body. 🤍
Late nights, extra sugar, skipped workouts, emotional stress, travel, disrupted sleep, your hormones feel all of it.

This season isn’t about being perfect. It’s about staying connected to your body.

A few gentle reminders for women this week:
✨ Eat protein before sweets
✨ Stay hydrated (yes, even when it’s cold)
✨ Take a walk when you can
✨ Protect your sleep like it matters—because it does

Your body isn’t asking for restriction.
It’s asking for support.

During fall and winter, many of us aren’t getting enough Vitamin D, especially when we’re spending more time indoors. This essential nutrient supports:
✨ Immune health
✨ Mood & energy
✨ Bone and muscle strength

A simple check-in (and the right support) can make a big difference during the colder months.

Feeling low-energy or run down? Let’s make sure your Vitamin D levels are where they should be.

Let’s talk about vaginal dryness & itchiness 🤍

Because if it’s happening to you… you’re not alone. And no, it’s not just something you have to “deal with.”

Hormone shifts, postpartum changes, menopause, stress, or even the products we use every day can all play a role. The good news? There are gentle, effective ways to feel comfortable again.

Here are 4 simple things that can help:

✨ 1. Vaginal moisturizers (your new best friend)
These help hydrate vaginal tissue and reduce irritation, even when you’re not being intimate.
-- Use 2–3 times a week for ongoing support.
-- Hyaluronic acid–based options are a favorite for a reason.

✨ 2. Lubricants during s*x
If intimacy feels uncomfortable, a good lubricant can make a big difference.
-- Water-based = condom-safe
-- Silicone-based = longer-lasting
Look for clean formulas with gentle pH and no unnecessary additives.

✨ 3. Keep things simple down there
Fragrance isn’t your friend here.
Skip scented soaps, wipes, and douches.
Stick with mild, fragrance-free cleansers, warm water, and breathable cotton underwear.

✨ 4. Get extra support if symptoms stick around
If dryness or irritation isn’t improving, options like low-dose vaginal estrogen, vaginal DHEA, ospemifene, or non-hormonal solutions (like hyaluronic acid) can be life-changing, when chosen intentionally and guided by a provider (hi, that's us!).

🤍 One last thing:
If symptoms are ongoing, it’s important to rule out infections, skin conditions, or hormone imbalances. There’s no one-size-fits-all, your care should be as unique as you are.

If vaginal dryness or discomfort is affecting your day-to-day (or your intimacy), you don’t have to figure it out alone.

👉 Book a consultation or DM us, we’re here to help you feel like yourself again.
