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.

I found a great sour candy for anxiety/panic attacks. If you have a Trader Joe’s near you try their sour jelly beans. I thought they’d be mildly sour but Man! They’re really sour! I got them for my kids but I ended up eating a bunch on Friday when I was feeling anxious and couldn’t calm myself. They seemed to help and they’re pretty yummy! 😊

If you’ve been keeping up with Kaylyn and her travels on social media, you may have seen her share this protocol for sleep issues and jet lag ✈️😴 Since so many women struggle with sleep, I wanted to share it here as well in case it’s helpful 🤍 1️⃣ Sunlight! As soon as you wake up, expose your eyes to natural sunlight, or some type of artificial sunlight (such as a Happy Light). This will signal a healthy cortisol response and kick start your circadian rhythm. 2️⃣ 5-10g of Creatine + Electrolytes: Drink this early in the morning to reduce neuro-inflammation and improve cognitive processing. 🌟 BONUS: You can also take a non-stimulant nootropic supplement such as FOCUS+ to supercharge your brain. (🔗 in bio) 3️⃣ .5-3mg Melatonin + 200+mg Magnesium Glycinate: Take these 30-60 min before your desired bedtime. Low dose melatonin will help manually reset your circadian rhythm, & the magnesium glycinate will help physically relax your body & your overstimulated brain. 🌟 BONUS: Add 200mg L-theanine for the ultimate calming cocktail. 😴💤 4️⃣ Progesterone: This step is optional if you aren’t already prescribed progesterone therapy. But progesterone really is the final piece of this sleep puzzle & will make an extremely noticeable difference on the overall quality of your sleep. 🤌🏻 🔁 Rinse & Repeat! You can continue this process until you are no longer waking up at 3am… or if it’s working for you, then just keep it going! 😌👏🏻

Who here is taking Saw Palmetto, L-theanine and/or L-Glutamine? I want to know if anyone has experienced side effects when starting them, what effects and how long they lasted. I have a sensitive stomach and I’m leery to try. Thanks

Ugh. I’m struggling with burning tongue/mouth issues. I’m reading it can be peri related. Any tips to relieve the pain.
