Let’s clear something up right away:
Yes – we’re aging.
But that doesn’t mean we’re meant to feel tired, foggy, achy, heavy, or disconnected from who we used to be.
For years, women have been told that hormones are dangerous. That the hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings, painful joints, or foggy thinking were just part of the deal.
But the truth is, balanced hormones = a vibrant second half of life.
And the science is catching up to what many of us have already known.
Hormones Matter – A Lot
After 50, most women experience sharp drops in progesterone, estrogen, and DHEA – three critical hormones that regulate nearly everything in the body.
When those levels shift, so does everything else:
- Hair starts falling out or thinning;
- Fat pads the belly even with diet and exercise;
- Skin dulls and lines deepen;
- Joints hurt;
- Sleep becomes elusive;
- Energy dips;
- Desire vanishes – not just sexually, but for life;
- Emotions feel heavy, unpredictable;
- Bones weaken, memory slows, the spark fades…
And worse?
Most women don’t even know this is why.
Let’s Break Down These 3 Key Hormones
Progesterone – The Peacekeeper
I’ve taken bio-identical progesterone for nearly 20 years. It’s the one thing I never go without.
Why? Because when my levels drop, I feel it immediately:
- Hair thins
- Sleep becomes restless
- I feel weepy (and I’m not a weepy woman!)
- My skin loses glow
- I feel dull and heavy in my body and mind
This hormone does so much more than support fertility.
It helps regulate mood, ease anxiety, protect the brain and bones, and restore restful sleep.
When my relationship needs romancing, progesterone is part of that magic, too.
Estradiol – The Strength Builder
I ignored my low estrogen numbers for years. My provider at the time was near retirement and didn’t follow up – and I didn’t know enough to ask questions. The result?
- Severe hip degeneration
- Two major surgeries
- Pain that slowed me down deeply
But not for long.
This past September – just months after my last surgery – I walked over 70 miles through coastal Italy. I’m back to yoga, back to strength, and better than before.
Estrogen doesn’t just help with hot flashes. It protects bones, joints, memory, skin, and cardiovascular health.
Without it, aging accelerates. With it, we stay powerful.
DHEA – The Spark Re-igniter
DHEA is a quiet powerhouse. It boosts energy, metabolism, mood, and libido. It keeps the inner fire strong.
I’ve used DHEA for 12+ years. But a few months ago, I forgot to reorder it. Within weeks?
- My waist got a bit thicker.
- My skin changed – cheeks flattened, lines showed up overnight.
- And jowls I didn’t have before! Yikes!
When I figured out what had happened I couldn’t re-order fast enough. Now it’s back in my routine – and so is my glow and my younger jawline.
So, What Do You Do with All of This?
Here’s the truth: Hormone imbalance is wildly common – and wildly misunderstood.
Most women are confused. They’re told they’re fine. Or given prescriptions that don’t feel right. Or told to suffer through it.
But that’s not the only option.
There are simple, safe, and effective ways to support your body and reclaim your vibrancy – without guesswork or synthetic solutions.
I’ve done this work for over 30 years – and I’m telling you now:
You don’t have to settle for feeling “just okay.”
You can feel incredible again.
