It’s important to assess your overall health, not just your hormone levels, which is nearly impossible to figure out in perimenopause because of their erratic nature in this stage of life. In The Hormone Rescue program we use the following tests with clients so we can get a comprehensive overview of their health and they allow us to personalize their plan, versus just guessing.
Many women believe they should test their hormones. And you’ll see many coaches or nutritionists online get on their soap box saying you need to test your hormones. But many doctors will say ‘it’s not necessary’. So who do you listen to right?
It’s kind of wild to me that so many doctors have no problem prescribing synthetic hormones in hormonal birth control with known side effects, but won’t discuss the use of bioidentical hormones, with tons of research backing efficacy and safety.
So in this episode, I’m going to cover some things I believe you should be doing, now that you’ve come to terms that you are, in fact, perimenopausal.
There’s quite a bit of confusion around perimenopause. I talk to a lot of women and some are completely freaked out by it, they think they’re way too young, while others believe they’re in it, but aren’t exactly sure.
Today I’m sharing my story so you can better understand why I’m so passionate about women’s health & hormones.
This podcast has been a long time coming! I’m so excited to finally get it off the ground, so we can chat about all things women’s health and hormones, but specifically, the hormone rollercoaster happening in perimenopause.
