Have you ever wondered why your SSRI didn’t improve your symptoms of anxiety and depression? The answer might be “your hormones.”

👉SSRI’s do NOT increase production of serotonin- they prevent serotonin from being broken down.
👉In order for SSRI’s to work, your body must be producing serotonin.
👉Women in perimenopause and menopause are poor serotonin producers.
👉Estrogen is required to produce serotonin, prevent it from breaking down, and for sensitizing the serotonin to the receptor.

So, if you’re a midlife woman wondering why your SSRI is not working, take a look at your estradiol levels!

This estradiol patch shortage is gettin’ real!

Do you know the impact your stress has on your hormones? The impact of stress can be significant and affect many organ systems, but there are 3 hormones that I see impacted by stress in patients every day: thyroid (reverseT3),DHEA-S, insulin.

None of these hormone abnormalities are specific for stress, but if I start to see PATTERNS and trends, and if a woman’s history suggests increased stress, I will likely see some hormone disruptions.

Worth mentioning is that these hormones may also be in the “normal” range, but if their pattern suggests that they are not OPTIMAL, I’m suspicious stress may be having an influence.

These are often the reasons we don’t feel better with HRT or thyroid medication, or we become resistant to weight loss.

First of all, sorry about my roosters in the background. We have six. 😳

Second, watch this to learn why providers have been trained to UNDER DOSE women taking HRT. We should not be under-dosing women just as much as we should not be overdosing them with estradiol.

Test hormones in perimenopause? Conventional medicine says “no”. However, if we look strategically at hormone levels — looking for patterns (MORE than just looking for the “normal” range) — we have a better understanding of where to focus treatment.

Perimenopause is more than fluctuating estradiol levels and inconsistent ovulation. Patterns of s*x hormones influence cortisol, thyroid, and insulin levels, and the relationships become stronger when these systems are dysregulated.

Symptoms of perimenopause are non-specific. This means we can’t know for sure if the symptoms are exclusively due to low follicle count, or if another hormone pattern is contributing. Testing matters, but the data is only as good as the provider’s ability to analyze it. Until we have standard training and treatment protocols, hormone testing will not likely be universally recommended. Perimenopause management will be controversial for many more years. But, it is my humble opinion, that testing hormones is important!

I am disappointed in the food industry, one again! This company is misleading consumers to believe their food is “natural” and healthy.
