Women should never be told to stop/avoid hormone therapy based on age.
This keeps coming up on calls lately, so I wanted to repost this recent research review article from 2024 - see attached. Here's a nice highlight on its findings by a trusted name in the space, Dr Mary Claire Haver, which makes it easy to understand the importance of the findings: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DXAQQ2Ll-9U/ So, for anyone who was told by a medical provider that "it's too late because you're 10 years past menopause," or you "should stop HRT once you hit menopause"...they're wrong. Plain and simple. LOTS of data out to support that, as illustrated here. Please share this paper to anyone still offering this advice. Thank you! If you want more support with hormones, HRT or midlife wellness in general, I'm here for it. Check out my Masterclass or DM me and we can chat about the options. I'm here to support the best and highest outcomes for ALL women. ❤️

Ayurveda & peri/menopause: a 5000 yr old view
I really respect TCM and Ayurveda, so when I come across it modern contexts and women's health, I pay attention. Here's a brand new podcast from one of my personal "hormone heros" and experts in women's midlife health, Dr Carrie Jones, speaking with an Ayurvedic expert, Dr Shivani Gupta: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/dr-shivani-gupta-what-is-inflammaging-how-ayurveda/id1813934931?i=1000761265380 "Ayurvedic medicine has a name for what happens to women in perimenopause and menopause. It's called Vata imbalance. This transition has always pushed women into a Vata state, and chronic low-grade inflammation is quietly driving most of the symptoms underneath it. Ayurveda also has very specific tools to address it based on your body type. One place to start is your evening routine. Something as simple as a warm bath or a gentle self-massage with a food-grade oil before bed can genuinely shift your nervous system out of overdrive. It sounds too easy. But the science backs it up."

Progestrone & Neurodivergence /Creams or Gels
Hi All 👋 Does anyone have any info / deep dive research on the safety of progestrone topically and vaginal creams / gels? I am having a issue with oral micronized progestrone that seems to related to neurodiversity. Estrogen is great, oral bio-identical progestrone makes me restless, is causing pretty severe brain fog, memory issues, fatigue, etc. The prescribing doctor insists that topical application is not safe and is ignoring the information I provided on neurodivergece and progestrone. From what I have discovered creams, gels or vaginally can potentially work better for neurodivergent individuals. Thank You https://conceivable.com/blogs/news/progesterone-intolerance-understanding-the-hidden-cause-behind-your-hormone-struggles https://seeherthrive.com/resources/women-hormones-and-neurodiversity-what-do-we-know

@Tiffany Boyd Great question! Topical progesterone is only unsafe if you're taking estrogen at the same time, as you need progesterone to "oppose" the proliferative effect of estrogen for cancer prevention...and topical progesterone doesn't achieve high enough blood levels to do this. But I don't imagine that's you given what I know about you!

@Tiffany Boyd Sublingual troches (small tablets that dissolve under the tongue) provides rapid absorption and can bypass digestive issues. Many women also benefit from adding a topical cream or gel, which delivers progesterone directly through the skin and may be useful for those who experience drowsiness from daytime oral dosing. Additionally, adjusting the dose—either splitting it into morning and evening doses - could maybe help.
Amino acid supplements
Amino acid supplements anyone would recommend? Pill version or powder you mix into a drink? Thanks all for any suggestions!

I haven’t found one I like the taste of. Best so far is Kion, but still kinda gross.
Gatorade alternatives for kids
Just listened to the latest podcast. Any health(ish) options for kids who play sports? I've done the zero sugar Gatorade and Honest kids juice boxes for soccer games.

What about just good old electrolytes, like Organika or Redmond Relyte? I like Relyte bc it’s made with real salt.
