I used to fear getting older. Watching videos like yours of women who take care of themselves and look great make me feel better about aging 🔥
That is the best thing I’ve heard in a really long time!!! Thank you so much!!! Here’s to aging gracefully!! 🙌🙌
I agree. I feel motivated and hopeful 🙏🏻❤️
Yesss
Ya I think women can look good any age as long as we take care of ourselves
49 its still easy....after 60, another story. Body is more challenging to repair. And maintain. Twice the work.
Agree 100%
Yep, so true. 40’s was a cake walk.
Soooo true!
Wait until you hit your 50’s. You have no idea what life has in store for you.
May be true for you, me and a few others but I believe the majority of women over 40 do not find it easy. Just look around.
I just turned 40 and I am so thankful for this information and I’m very excited about fall fashion.
Heather you look great! 💕 Thanks for the inspiration if anything changes keep us updated please. Thanks so much! 😘
You look fantastic! I turned 40 this year and as I don’t feel that’s old by any means, I still don’t feel 40. I feel 20 mentally. I exercise and eat healthy as well as fast on a daily basis. I completely agree with the fact that what you eat is what will show on the outside besides exercise. I believe in leafy greens, healthy fats, fish, nuts, berries and Greek yogurt. Combined with fasting and a low carb regimen I have been able to go from a size 12 to a size 2 in 3 years. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to lose weight and get healthy! I feel the best that I ever have in years!
Heather, So kind of you to make this video. All helpful information. I’ve been taking bio-identical hormones for 18 years, and they continue to help me. I feel great and can’t say enough good things about progesterone and bi-est, plus fish oil. You look fabulous. Thank you for being so open with all of us.
Walking is an excellent workout that I'm really glad you mentioned because a lot of people overlook it! Super easy way to get a lot of benefits and when you work it into your normal routine it can feel effortless. This is the first video of yours I've seen and I absolutely love your emphasis on health and mental health benefits of fitness. Great work!! x
Thank you so much for this video! I am almost 45 and peri menopausal. I appreciate you telling us about your personal journey. ❤️
Such a fantastic video Heather! Thank you for being so honest and open, sharing all the things but especially about menopause and bio identical hormones! It’s so sad that so many women are still very scared of taking hormones & just try to tough it out.
I absolutely love my bioidentical hormones, they have helped immensely~ And you are so right it takes time to figure out what works for you specifically💯
Love your content ❣️
Oh wow thank you so much! Great insight!!
You had me at Yoga! 💖 Love to see more of our generation on UA-cam! Keep shining ✨✨✨😇
Wonderful video. Thank you soo much for taking the time to make it.
I am just 70 and got to my best weight in years just before my birthday. Very close to my weight range in my twenties. I am also fitter than I have ever been. I lift weights twice a week and run three times a week. Running has made the most difference to everything. It really does keep the weight down without you having to eat like a sparrow. I walk a lot as well. Exercise is key or you will be on 1300 calories a day and losing muscle and bone to keep the fat off. I track my calories and macros and try to get in around 90g of protein a day and stay the right side of my predicted calorie burn. I do that eating rice potatoes and bread and pasta and fruit. You don’t have to go low carb to be slim. Carbs are your fuel for running and all round energy.
I do just estrogen. My body hates progesterone. You have to find your unique balance. I also take a NAD booster. No idea if it helps but the science suggests it might. HRT is essential. I saw what my mother went through after she turned 53 and no way I was doing that.
How did you know your body hated progesterone? What negative symptoms were you having from taking progesterone?
I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m turning 49 in December and I’m your newest subscriber 🙋🏾♀️❤️
It’s a lot of work - bottom line !
You look AAAAAMAZING
Thank you for sharing and inspiring!
Thanks for sharing your experiences. So true about diet and exercise. You definitely can't outwork your diet. Great insights on bio identical hormones...getting closer myself to menopause so this info/tips are great to have to help navigate it when that time comes. Kudos! 💕
Heather you are awesome, I love the way you communicate. You are so talented, thorough, informative and transparent. Thank you for all the great information. I love this channel.🤗❤️
Hi Heather, thank you for sharing your experience with bioidentical hormones. I am 53 and for 7 years I have been treated with the Rimkus method. This also consists of bioidentical hormones with progesterone and estrodial. The dosage is done after a blood evaluation every 3 or 6 months through my gynecologist. I swear by it and can only recommend it to every woman.
Thank you for this in depth video. 💕
You look amazing! I have a major pudgy stomach and I workout 5 days a week. I cannot understand but now I am thinking it’s my diet. I only eat once a day but maybe I need to rethink that. Thank you for being so honest. You are beautiful!
Love your hair in this video! Perfect color, length and style!
This information is golden for women just starting out and for those trying to sort out current problems. You live in a terrific area with good doctors (which, granted you had to find), but not all women have access to good medical help or good information. I am 55, live in rural Ohio, and like you, tried all 3 at once + thyroid mediation and let me tell you, that was one of the worst mistakes of my menopausal journey. I loved it at first, because the combo of meds delivered immediate results. I had every menopausal symptom in the book: insomnia, weight gain, dry skin, foggy thinking, low libido... After starting pellets, in less than 2 weeks I was sleeping like a baby. But after 6 months or so, I began to develop problems like: male patterned baldness, dark hair growing on my face, oily hair and skin, irritability, high anxiety, a deeper voice, plus stomach and intestinal issues. Most of which were due to high testosterone levels, and poorly monitored and poorly balanced hormone levels (even though they were drawing blood every 3 months). Maybe tmi, but my orgasms were through the roof (which was a definite improvement) but my female parts were often engorged and uncomfortable.
According to what I was told, (aside from continuous blood tests which is out of many people's price range) the medical field has no way of monitoring how much pellet medication our bodies absorb at any given time. We could receive all of it at once or slowly over time.
After nearly 2 years on HRT, I developed Barrett's esophagus and mild thrush, mainly because the thyroid medication was getting stuck in my throat and dissolving there (even though I drank plenty of water).
It has taken me nearly a year to find a decent doctor whom has helped me to get back on track. I'm sharing this information to help other women. Maybe their experience won't be as bad, but it may be good for someone to know that this could absolutely happen to them. As mentioned, I loved receiving pellets at first because I received near immediate relief from all symptoms, including insomnia. When medication (or anything for that matter) offers us immediate relieve from suffering, it can be very hard to give up, but we absolutely must in order to solve potentially harmful issues.! I love your advise about taking it slow by introducing one med at a time! Journaling is also great. I did this and it helped tremendously. Again awesome video. Very well done. You should be proud. I'm so glad you shared this with your audience!
Oh wow what great information! Thank you so much for sharing and watching my video! This was very helpful. 😊
Thanks for sharing Heather. I am 56 this year and have not had negative menopause symptoms and I began at age 50. However your video encouraged me to think about getting my blood examined -just because I do not have issues with menopause doesn't mean everything is ok. Also thanks for sharing the at home work out videos. My husband has Alzheimer’s and us progressing so I work out at home as well as go on walks with him. I agree with you it is mostly what we put in our bodies as well as our thoughts of staying positive . Ive never been drawn to alcohol ( Im not judging anyone) I do not drink at all so I think big reason I remain very lean. You have encouraged me to seek a good doctor, as a spouse caring for the love of my life, I have a tendency to forgot about me. So thanks for this video.
Of course! So happy it resonates with you! I’m sending Prayers for your husband too!!
heeeyyy Heather!!! 54 over here!! Love what you are saying! Working out is my therapy!
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I've been toughing out Menopause for 5 years but I'm finally considering HRT🥰
Great video Heather! Thank you for sharing your diet and exercise plan. It was great to hear your experience with bio identical hormones. There is so much misinformation regarding this matter. So many doctors do NOT want to run regular blood work. It’s terrible!! Would like to hear other woman’s experience regarding this matter 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your comment and for watching!!
We are just a few months apart in age but u have motivated me to start working back out. Im thin and eat well but avoid working out 🫣. Seeing how amazing you look has definitely been inspirational!
Thank you for sharing Heather, very inspiring 💓
I am about to turn 40, and I found your information really helpful. Thank you.
Bio-identical hormone therapy was a life saver for me! It started for me in peri menopause, when I wasn’t sleeping and I was on a hormone mood rollercoaster. It was horrible. My doctor started me on progesterone and testosterone. I added estrogen at 49 when my levels dropped. Life changing. I can’t believe how many women can’t get menopause care in this country though. Doctors giving out misinformation and denying women care based on 20-year old studies that have been proven to be false. Women need to get educated on this topic. Thanks for sharing.
Oh wow such great info! Thanks for sharing!!
No kidding! My OBGYN wanted to prescribe a SSRI antidepressant for menopause symptoms! I couldn't believe it! My moods are fine, I just had hot flashes. When I specifically asked about hormone replacement therapy, she agreed to prescribe and told me that she takes HRT too! SMH. The HRT makes me feel like my pre-menopausal self
Cn you drop some links to biohormones?
Except those studies haven't been "proven false." Stop promoting false health information that can be dangerous to people who don't know any better. Menopause is not a pathology.
@@thenursepreceptor5376 I really want my mom to start taking it but she think it causes cancer is that true?
Heather as a Fitness professional for over 35 years I appreciate your approach. I encourage my clients to gobb by with the 80/20 rule and I believe a variety in workouts is very important.
I’m in Dallas. Thank you for the MD recommendation Heather!
FANTASTIC!! You are absolutely amazing and inspiring! Especially those bikini shots. I am so inspired. Thank you!
I love you and Tracy Anderson!
Such a hard workout!
What great tips! PLEASE keep videos like this coming.. I'm in my early 40s and really kicking myself for not listening and taking proper care of my body early on. But they say it's never too late so bring on the collagen powder! 😁
Yes so true!! Thanks for watching Kathy!!
Animal fats and protein really help... fats balance hormones, protein repairs everything. It works
You look great Heather! Those 15 years of yoga have paid off🙂! And I think that this is exactly the "secret"- you've been active for years, not just starting with it on a whim, sport needs to be a lifestyle.
Excellent advice! Thank you for sharing!
Please do a full day of eating 🙏
Thank you Heather! You look fabulous!! I’ve been making the shake you have each day. It’s made a huge difference in my hair and skin!!!
What shake
Ok wow I’m so glad you love the shake! I love it!!
So helpful, thank you so much!
You look amazing! Thank you for sharing your story.
I turn 49 in November as well. This video was very informative and helpful with lots of relevant information. I have been wanting to explore hormonal therapy so I will be asking my PCP about this at my next appointment.
I loved this video and thank you for being honest about your HRT. So many women leave out that part when they're talking about weight loss and I don't understand why. I'm going to try it this year when I see my gyno for my yearly exam. I've been struggling with weight gain, joint pain, and sleep deprivation and it's time.
Hi Steph - I will always be open and honest! I’m so happy you enjoyed my video!
I’m also on bio identical hormones (pellet) I made a mistake and got a booster of testosterone after my first dose and had SIGNIFICANT hair loss, which is now growing back, but it was DAVASTATING!!!
I do take all three estrogen, progesterone and testosterone (low dose)
I’m a weight lifter (former figure competitor and weight training is great for fat burning, bone strength and smooth skin!!!
I believe Suzanne Sommers also takes all three and I think she’s just fabulous!!!!
Great video thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you, exercising helps me mentally so much!!!
Thank you for sharing. You really do look great! 🌻
Menopause, I feel for you. I have to say, I would love to have your waist. Keep up the good work. You look great!
Heather, Thank you for sharing such helpful information. I’m saving everything to start sourcing especially the hormone therapy & Suzanne Sommer’s book will be on my reading list. I appreciate your channel so much. You link absolutely everything and always have budget friendly options. Lol, even when I don’t have money to spend for anything new, I find myself watching your videos. Your serene and friendly demeanor is so engaging. Feels like I am with a girl friend. I usually watch your videos when I’m putting my makeup on in the morning and getting dressed for work. Anyway, I just wanted to say how much I love your content & appreciate what you put into them.
Oh my gosh Roxy your comment just made my day!!! I’m so happy I’m helping you!! Thank you so much for your support! Many blessings! ❤️❤️
Very nice high quality content Heather! Great advice. I'm not a drinker at all. I'm your age . Your channel was recommended and happy I clicked. I'm trying to put on some more muscle but I have trouble eating. Not a big eater. I'm 6'4" 215 lbs. You're stunning respectively as well.
You look fantastic! I am nearly 44, and also believe in exercise and eating relatively healthily and in moderate portions. I am on testosterone gel and feel good on it. I also shared my hormone journey in a few videos.
Hi Heather, this is the first video of you I’ve seen and so glad I’ve found you just subscribed, you do so many things that I do and I totally relate to pretty much every thing you’ve said, I’m 59 and I’ve been exercising most of my life, 30 minutes at least 5 days a week but I don’t push myself to hard mostly light weights and walking my dogs. I eat pretty healthy like you and also have a sweet tooth that I manage pretty well but I love to bake!🥴 and of course I gotta try it 😆. I’m 5.6 and weigh 120 and have since high school it’s just because of my life long habits just as you said. Your body is amazing and it’s obvious you are very disciplined! I make these little treats that satisfy and are pretty healthy for a sweet treat, I chop up organic dates and layer in a paper muffin cup, then drizzle melted 72% dark chocolate on top then a layer chopped nuts, then another drizzle of the chocolate, put them in the fridge and that’s my dessert, only 1 though! Can’t wait to watch more of your videos🥰
Amen to all! I recovered from terminal Illness by eating all fruit since 2019. It has been a regenerative miracle. No alcohol 🙂yoga! 🙂🙂🙂 You look amazing Heather! No to all prescriptions for me 🙂🙏🏼❤
JUST FRUIT??? WHAT'S YOUR PROTEIN SOURCE? AND IRON ISSUES?
@@suzihazlove4979 humans have the digestive system for fruit. We are primates. Not only that, what we need from protein is amino acids which are abundant in fruit. Also, no animal cooks but man. If you want life and cleanliness, eat living food. If you want death and stagnation, eat dead processed foods. Check out Dr. Robert Morse 🙂🙏🏼☀❤
@@achaley4186 wow yes valid points. Wow,
Do you eat organic only?
Well fruit certainly is organic, but I eat what is in regular grocery produce sections and regular fruit stands. I live in Brooklyn and we are blessed with a lot of options. Just this evening I heard the pepto bismol ad and I thought wow, praise God that I don’t have indigestion anymore. We are all addicted to cooked foods. Only fruit can cleanse and hydrate. Drs want to cut and treat with drugs that further destroy our tissues.if you ever become Ill please go to all fruit. You can easily live on one or two foods…I mostly eat zucchini and grapes. The transition is tough and won’t be perfect but it is regenerative and amazing. God bless you for your interest. If you come to know this truth, share it with others. 🙂🙏🏼☀❤
I'm a big fan of plant diet, all fruit great, or fruit and vegatables great too. I can't get there but as far as I can get, i'ts life changing.
Love this video!! Can you show us a day of eating in a future video?
I am in my 20s and still found this video very informative. Thank you for sharing Heather!
Oh I love that thank you!!!
I was always super skinny and energetic since my menopause at 53 nothing is the same. Thank you for the great video.
Thank you for Sharing your exprience and useful Tips 🙏😍
I’m 56 and have been on bio-identical hormones of some kind for about 15 years. I feel for women who suffer through menopause with nothing. My doc checks my bloodwork every 6 months too. It’s a balancing act but it’s worth it. I’m also a yoga teacher. And you’re right … it’s more about what you put in your mouth than exercise in regards to maintaining a healthy weight.
As I’ve gotten older, it’s gotten more challenging. Especially with menopause.
I exercise 6-7 days a week (jog, walk, yoga, Pilates, weight training), follow a low carb diet and practice time restricted feeding to help keep my figure.
Wow sounds like you have a great workout routine! Thanks for watching!
Can u tell us what do u mean bio identical hormons about?
Has it affected your hair? I was on testosterone pellet therapy by itself first which affected my hair but my doctor added estrogen and progesterone and I am hoping that will counteract the testosterone.
@@stephaniesteed7653 I had to go down on the testosterone because my levels were too high. And when I did that, that pooch I was developing went away. A few pimples and weight gain were my symptoms of too much testosterone … oh and increased libido! 😳
@@meredithlindley6882 when did your pooch go down? After lowering your testosterone? Or adding other bhrt therapy?
Go girl I’m 45 and noticing I have to put the work in now healthy low carb loads of fish eggs greens nuts seeds natural yogurt and berries and 30 minutes of exercise a day and some weights . We need to nourish and strengthen our body for the future as we start to age x remember gratitude and how blessed we are to be here some never make over 40 thank you for your lovely video and tips hello fro Irekand x 💕
💯💯
LoVE love LoVE this video. Thanks for sharing! I love Caroline Girvan's workout videos on UA-cam. She keeps me motivated and energized 🦾
Love the video.
Great video! I am 64 & have done 'biote' pellets for many years. The Testosterone might have been too high for u hence your hair falling out. They wear off after about 3 months....then u go back for reinsertion. Also when your breasts get sore that means too much estrogen--it takes awhile to get the levels just right, but when u finally do pellets r a life saver. Hope that helps!!
What are pellets
Great info!
I wish more women would read Suzanne Somers books on menopause, I was 24 years old when I had a hysterectomy doctor put me on premarin which I believe was the worst medication ever, one pill for everyone just awful unfortunately I was honored for many years, till I read Suzanne Somers book been on hormonal therapy pellets and I absolutely feel fantastic and I am 73 years old, bless you for this video we're getting the word out for other women.
You fill my cup thanks for all info
Yes, sweating is amazing. I play tennis in a very hot and humid environment. It’s hard but afterwards you feel very accomplished that you are still alive 😀
Thank you for this
Thank you! You look amazing. Please make a video on your skin. I like to know what kind of treatments you do on your face.
Yes for sure I will soon!
You look amazing. 🌸 I definitely recommend fish oil , I think it really helps with good mood.
The more I watch your videos, the more I really like you. I cn see you really care about women and share honest, intelligent information. Also, love your fashion shares.
That is so sweet thank you!!!!
Hi Heather, great informative video. Apparently you hit on a great topic Menopause! Please keep touching & sharing on the topic. Easy question…which Tracy Anderson 30 minute video do you use? There’s so many. 😀
Hi Christine, I downloaded Tracy’s app and I always do her latest beginner video. Thank you for watching and commenting!
thank you for sharing in this video. you look incredible. i love smoothies for breakfast too. so easy, filling, noursihing
Hi Heather, I am 64 I was on the pellet for 2 years had the testosterone. Had lots of hair shedding . I will never go back to the pellet again! Not to mention the cost! Unnecessary blood work also! Now I’m on the patch. Working with my doctor. I’m on the0.05 estradiol may go down on mg breast tenderness. Now! I am listening to my body ! Not what A lab panel tells me what I feel like!! Enjoy your videos! Thank you!😃❤️
Do you take testosterone? I’m 60 and started taking 0.0375 estradiol and the testosterone cream, very low dosage. So far so good! I have not noticed any side affects yet. I was so nervous to even start at my age.
This is gold! I would add checking Nagalase level for total viral load once a year. Know your partner’s number too! Let’s prevent cancer while we look and feel amazing
or get this marker to measure progress with things like autoimmune conditions and autism especially if we already feel too tired to exercise right now.
Great video
You look great! The 90-20 looks so interesting! Do you know if there’s any in Los Angeles ? I could not find one.
Thanks for this! I’m 42, and all the little tight internet stomachs are so young … I realized I don’t even really know if the body I’m trying to get is possible on someone over 35. Seeing your body in workout sets and bikinis is exactly what I needed 😊
Oh I love that! Thank you so much!!!
Good genes also helps❣️ Love the videos!
Also, can you do a video on what/ if any facial treatments or other things you might be doing to your face that makes you look youthful but natural?
I am the same way as you with alcohol! If I have 2 drinks of anything, I wake up a few hours after I fall asleep, and then I am wide awake with a headache, dry mouth, and feel lousy. I also am on HRT and do great with estradiol, progesterone capsules, and testosterone cream. It makes me feel normal and I still have plenty of energy for lots of different exercise classes and yoga. I also take lots of similar supplements. I live in the DFW area. You are going through the wild menopause time. I am very balanced, and have been since my mid 50s.
The result is so impressive...
Thank you💜
❤️I just had my 54th birthday and looks like your channel is my birthday present! I’m on HRT too…through many tweeks and a change in doctors I’ve found my happy place and all symptoms are gone! SS got me started on learning about menopause and I wish someone told me about peri-menopause symptoms which can start in your 30’s…thought I was going crazy, turns out it was hormones…wow!❤️‼️❣️
What is SS
@@vanitagomes3794 Suzanne Somers😎
Can u tell me what hrt you took please .I'm looking out for a good dr .I haven't slept properly since 2 yrs because of menopause and I also get up at night to pee many times and so many other symptoms of menopause
@@vanitagomes3794 I worked with my gynecologist for a long time to get a balance. Hot flashes and anxiety were the first to go (thank goodness), but I ended up changing from my doc of 17 years who I really liked, to another gynecologist whose background seemed a better fit for me. One tweek she made, and I have felt wonderful for a solid year! There are so many options to find a balance. When sleep is a problem I take a low dose of melatonin and magnesium for a few nights, or until my stress is manageable, then I just take magnesium for a calm peaceful night.
I'd like to recommend Dr. Stacy Sims as a reference for information on this subject. She has a new book named Next Level on all phases of this transition.
Heather, love your vibe. Totally agree that diet is the most important component of a wellness regimen. And you know what the best macro nutrient is for taking care of the face? Protein. It helps the fat cells regenerate. We lose fat cells not so much because we age, but because the regenerative rate doesn't keep up with loss. To show that this loss is more a function of fitness, rather than age, take a look at Harry Styles. His mouth is very depleted and he's in his 20's.
Oh what a great piece of info! Thank you so much!!
You look amazing for your age! I had been on medical grade bio identical hormones for many years; as a cancer survivor it was recommended that I stay away from synthetics because they cause cancer. I was about 26 when diagnosed with ovarian cancer with a very poor prognosis of 5 years. I am now 58...I believe I am alive because I had refused a 2nd round of chemotherapy and refused synthetic hormones. I went on bio identical hormones and had my body tested for imbalances of vitamins and minerals so I could get it balanced after the 1st round of chemo depleted my levels. Chemo works for other people, but was not going to work for my cancer. Some of my doctors were on the cutting edge at the time and were not afraid to go mix non traditional with traditional medicine. In later years, my doctor had me use Estriol at night, which helped me rest with the bio identical hormones. Total life saver! Yes, it is very customized. I need to go back to the doctor to get reestablished with it. My current insurance isn't as flexible or knowledgeable...they just want to prescribe synthetics. I'm likely gonna have to pay out of pocket....not cheap.
HRT is so individualized that you do need a great doctor to help you through the process and it changes...so you want someone supportive. Testosterone was my nemesis...I still can't take it. From the breakouts on my face to the sudden hair loss, I don't think I'll ever take it again....but estrogen and progesterone are helping me live my best life! Thanks for your videos!
Hi Heather! do you include any timing restriction along with your paleo diet? Such at interment fasting?
Hello Heather, I really like your weight maintain and loss videos. I noticed you added you have kale salad with chicken which is health and delicious, my question is.. Do you add dressings to the salad? and do you add any oils to the salad? could you make a video on the specifics of the meals that you eat and what would they look like? Thank you for your videos!
You look fabulous 💜
wow! Good for you
My doctor has told me the Progesterone should be taken at night. Plus I have been watching a wonderful Dr. here on You Tube Barbie Taylor she specializes in only menopause. She has so much great information and she has recommended that Progesterone be taken at night. This is the first time I have ever heard someone mention taking it during the day. Either way what counts is that it is working for you.
Hello! I just came across your video and immediately subscribed. Am I the only one whose doctor said I have to stop menses for a whole year before I can go on hormones? Is perimenopause something we just have to suffer through? I'm going to be 48 in 3 months. My hair has been falling out in clumps for well over 2 years, I can't sleep and I'm exhausted, last month I had a period for almost the entire month and there have been times I had to wait a couple months for one. I started menses at 10 and it was so irregular and heavy I was put on birth control because it wouldn't straighten up. I was off and on it for a while and when I was off and decided to not go back on about 10 years ago or so I was surprised to find I was on a regular schedule finally and they were not terribly heavy or painful. Now it's all over the place. Those are just some of the symptoms I've been dealing with increasing since my late 30s so I think regulating my hormones would really help but they tell me I have to wait until I'm no longer in perimenopause and period free for a year and in actual menopause. Am I just seeing the wrong doctors here? Is anyone in a similar situation actually on HRT? An older friend on the other side of the country says this is ridiculous but I don't know.
Thank you for crossing into a subject that not many dare to go into yet for some reason. Maybe it's because we are all suppose to pretend we are perpetually 20 years old, but I mean, this is 2022. My Mom's gone so I can't ask how this went for her but my Dad thinks she was on hormones but doesn't know when she started them. She died young. I know you're basically about my age. Thank you!
This is a lot of work out 🤩🤩🤩
I feel the same way about Bikram yoga! Been practicing for 20 years :)
Thank you for sharing! Im 47 and I have been in pre-menopause for a couple of years. I cant really find enough information about hormones so Im scared to go that route. So far, natural supplements have kept all of my symptoms in check. Maybe they just havent gotten bad yet but I think its that they are helping! I eat paleo/low carb and work our every day and have been able to maintain my weight but I get bloated a lot. Thats the worst!!!
OMG I am 59 years old 5'5" 121.8 pounds, 16.3% body fat just started working out consistantly about 3 months ago I have all ways stayed in shape but I had a torn meniscus in my knee was unable to exercise like I normally do for a few years it finally healed without surgery. But I agree with you on the alcohol I find it drains my body big time now. If I want to stay in good shape I am now looking at basically giving up alcohol could be an age thing.
What collagen powder do you use?
It’s so hard to find a good doctor. I live in AZ and have tried so many doctors. They were all pretty bad. If anyone knows of a good doctor in AZ, please let me know. Thank you
How do you find a doctor that does bio identical hormones?
What brand of collagen do you use Heather?
Would u share us what is the name of ur bio progesteron? How could u shift to it after the testosteron?
My problem is with hormons if u take them from outside ur brain stop producing ur own hormon or reduce the level. Another specialist say we need to support the organs which make hormons instead. I would recommend u accupucture it can be great as well! Thank u to share us this videó!
How do I know if the hormones the dr is giving me are synthetic or bio identical
Great video! Would love to see a what I eat in a day video. Which hormones do u take? Is it compounded or from regular pharmacy ?
