Hey ladies! I’m 42, homeschooling mom of three. I’m finding it so difficult lately with the brain fog, sometimes emotional numbness, sometimes rage, anxiety, being on edge, and crying at the drop of a hat, being absolutely convinced everyone hates me and I’m just the stupidest person in the world, can’t do anything right… It’s almost always the worst a few days before my period but it can sometimes come at any point in my cycle. It can be so debilitating. 😢 And then it’s like a switch is flipped when my period is halfway done or mostly done and I’m fine. Then I’m left wondering, “What the heck was I so upset about a few days ago?!” I definitely get a lot of the other physical symptoms as well but the emotional rollercoaster is the worst part of it for me. I have an appointment to meet with a hormone specialist next week. I’m so hopeful but kind of terrified they won’t think I need any BHRT.

Hello all, I’m 43 and I have been perimenopausal for a rough 8 years. I am an aspiring powerlifter(non competitive) but found a love of strength training bc it quells my anxiety and stress. I am a wife of 26 yrs and momma to 3 amazing humans, one of which has profound nonverbal autism. I am now a patient with Elevate and just had my consult with Krista, who was so amazing! It’s looking like I have Hashimoto’s, and learning this… so many things make sense now. Navigating this time in my life has been insanely eye opening and I’m so grateful to be here and not feeling so alone.

Hey Elevate Fam!🎄 December is here, and with the holidays rolling in, I thought it would be fun to check in with each other. This time of year can bring joy, chaos, exhaustion, emotions, and more, so let’s share something real! What is one thing you are doing this month to support your body or nervous system during the holiday madness? Big or small! For me, I’m trying to slow down at night with a warm drink and no phone for a bit before bed. It helps me feel human again 😅 What’s helping you stay grounded as we head into the holiday season? 💛
