So, I went to the gynecologist today. And it was weird (as always). My periods were not regular this time. But not so much other symptoms. I mean I am in stress, so I don't know what to attribute other symptoms to. So, I've asked if I should have my hormones tested. She answered: - if you don't have periods for the year, you are in menopause. It's just 60 days, forget it. - no need to test your hormones, I don't treat them - I treat you It is a disaster reply 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyway. I don't know if I have a question. Just lots of emotions.

Here’s one of mine I have a lot but one of my faves. Let’s start the day or end it depending on your time zone with positivity 💪🏻💞 “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” — C.S. Lewis

Just wanted to share the videos here. This was some of my in person group and three local Drs shared some really good information on menopause symptoms signs and food ! https://youtu.be/wQK87R7xaNo?si=4LP_F4LYFOTdqy66https://youtu.be/EfjEB_vrrEU?si=018ynTEbhxssFplh

I'd love to hear your stories because I hear SO many different experiences with this one… Some women tell me "Cathy I love it, my digestion is better than ever, I feel amazing" And others say "I was exhausted, starving by 11am and honestly I think it made everything worse" And you know what? I believe both of them completely. Because fasting hits differently for every woman and especially for us after 40. There ARE real gut benefits. Giving your digestive system a proper break lets it rest, repair and reset. Less bloating, less inflammation, better digestion. That's not made up. But here's what doesn't get talked about enough… For a lot of us? Fasting raises cortisol. It drains our energy. And if you're already dealing with perimenopause or menopause symptoms adding that kind of stress to your body is really the last thing you need. Not to mention trying to hit your protein goals in a compressed window. That's HARD. So my honest take fasting is a tool. Not a magic fix. And there are gentler ways to support your gut and your hormones that don't leave you white-knuckling it until noon. 😄 If you'd like to share your story Did fasting work for you or did it work against you?
