Let’s play a quick game… give yourself 1 point for each 👇 All of these have one thing in common: estrogen fluctuations 🫠 🚪 Doorway Syndrome: Hormonal fluctuations can impair short-term memory, word recall, and the brain’s ability to quickly store and retrieve new information. 🧠 Brain Zaps: Estrogen fluctuations disrupt serotonin signaling and overall nervous system stability, leading to brief, shock-like sensory disturbances in the brain. 🥶 Cold Flashes: Estrogen fluctuations can cause sudden shifts in blood flow & heat distribution that can make you feel abruptly chilled, shaky, or goose-bumpy even without a change in the environment. 😵‍💫 Vertigo: Estrogen fluctuations affect the inner ear and vestibular system, disrupting balance signals between the ear, eyes, and brain and causing sensations of dizziness or spinning. 👀 Vision Changes: Estrogen fluctuations affect tear production, eye tissues, and visual processing in the brain, which can lead to dry eyes, blurred vision, and difficulty focusing.

For those of you on HRT, what would you say were the first notable changes you experienced after starting your protocol? What improvements stood out to you the most? For me, I saw an immediate improvement in my brain fog. I'm talking in the first couple weeks, it felt like I could finally have a coherent thought. & I also noticed that I wasn't as irritable or over stimulated all the time. That really stood out to me because I was SUPER on edge all the time before starting my injections. 🥹 I'm curious to hear what you guys experienced!

Hi ladies! For those of you in perimenopause who are on progesterone, estrogen and testosterone did your doctor prescribe one at a time starting with progesterone? Did they wait a few months to see how you did on progesterone before upping your dose or adding estrogen and testosterone or were you able to go back to your doctor sooner than a few months after starting progesterone to up your dose or start estrogen and testosterone? I’ve only been on progesterone for 2 months but I feel like it’s just not doing much so far. Thanks ladies! I hope you’re all doing well today 🙏🏻🩷

I am 42 and live in California so I am unable to work with Elevate. I chose to work with Midi because they say they run full labs including hormones, but I was tested for everything Except my hormone levels! Midi's response is that "testing hormone levels is not accurate or reliable. (That's because your hormone levels fluctuate day to day, even hour to hour! So a single test cannot reflect your body's hormone levels.) The best way to check whether a woman has the "right" amount of hormones is to see how her symptoms respond to a particular dose of hormones or nonhormonal menopause medication." My biggest symptoms include anxiety, brain fog, no sex drive and very dry vaginal tissue along with heightened allergies, mostly itchy skin, and extremely itchy ears. Based on my symptoms I was put on low dose Estrogen patch and Progesterone pills, but no testosterone. I have seen some improvement in anxiety thankfully, but I still have 0 sex drive and very dry vaginal tissue.
