My Hormone Journey: Why Pellets Weren't the Answer for Me

Hey friend! You know I'm all about finding that "well and worthy" life, and lately, my own hormone journey is taking a new direction and I wanted to share with you. For a long time, I was doing hormone pellets. I'll tell you the full story in the episode, but let's just say peer pressure is real, even when you're a health coach! I wanted that "miracle fix" everyone was talking about, especially when my libido felt like it was in the toilet (we're going there today, sister). But after two years of feeling "overdosed" and tired of the constant procedures, I knew I needed a different way. I invited two women who have become my "hormone dream team" to join me: Dr. Elizabeth Adams and Melinda Fowler (The Hormonal Pharmacist). They are helping me transition off pellets and onto a more adjustable, bioidentical path, and I wanted you to sit in on our conversation. In this episode, we're chatting about: The "Lost Generation": Why so many of us were told hormones were dangerous and why that's changing. The Sleep Thief: Why I was hooked on Ambien for 10 years, and what I actually needed instead. The Power of the "Click": Why I've moved to adjustable creams and troches (and what on earth a "troche" even is!). Testing 1, 2, 3: The real difference between blood tests and saliva tests when it comes to seeing what your body is actually using. The "Uterus Myth": Why progesterone is for everyone, even if you've had a hysterectomy. If you've been feeling "off," struggling with brain fog, or wondering why your cardiologist says your heart is fine even though it's racing, this one is for you. You don't have to wait until you're "officially" in menopause to start feeling like yourself again. Grab a cup of coffee (or your magnesium!) and come hang out with us. You're not alone in this transition, and there is definitely more than one way to find your balance.
