Women need to not be gaslit anymore by a practioner when their mood goes wonky, their cycle begins noticeably shifting, start having hot flashes, have trouble sleeping, or even have flooding periods, etc. This is your body telling you that your hormones are out of balance! You may be able to be treated effectively with BHRT, NOT psych drugs! It's remarkable the difference BHRT makes on the entire body for a woman in perimenopause! Ladies, it is not your imagination! Find an MD that can do DUTCH tests, can prescribe BHRT, and will validate the very REAL experience you are going through. You do not have to just grin and bear it! You don't have to suffer in silence; there is help! This article is brilliant! Thank you!
I have never thought about it that way, but you are so right - ovaries are our first organ to age, and the implications of that are felt for the years to come. Learning how to prepare for this stage is so important. Excited to hear about your upcoming project
. . . and no one EVER talks about Post-Menopause!!! This conversation needs to start so much sooner for women instead of women searching for answers when their world is being turned upside down!!! I have recently had testosterone pellets inserted with an 200mg oral progesterone at bedtime. This after I completely LOST my libido!! And that was terrifying. No one ever tells women this, Testosterone=Libido!!!!
Wow Maud, thank you for this insightful piece. I’m only 34 but have spent a lot of time tracking the (largely male dominated) longevity conversation. So interesting to unpack how it differs for women and the monumental challenges we’re up against. I’m a firm believer that knowledge is power and prevention and early action is everything so I can’t wait to read part two on solutions! Thank you for shedding light on this topic and bringing all of us along for the ride. ❤️
