that wasn’t perimenopause?!

I have a lot of knowledge stuck in my head from years in the medical field but I don’t always look up ALL THE THINGS when a doc tells me to do something.

That backfired on me after my last doc retired and new doc saw I was taking  Vitamin D 50,000 IU/week for the last FOUR YEARS. And she didn’t even know I was taking 10,000 IU a day over the counter for a total of 120,000 IU/week -- previous doc approved that BTW.

The new doc was like okay STOP DOING THIS NOW 😱

I looked it up when I got home and the longest you’re supposed to be on it is 12 weeks even if you have chronically low vitamin D. They’ll give you a 2-12 week course once or twice a year to get your levels up again.

But FYI for anybody who has a doc like my last one: Don’t take more than 2000 IU a day unless it’s short term and under a doc’s care. Well, a good doc.

I stopped taking the vitamin D altogether about 3 weeks ago to give myself a cleanse, and now I’m going through withdrawals. It’s messing up my digestive system 😭

BUUUUUT

My fucking HOT FLASHES are FUCKING GONE!!

My last doc told me I was probably in early perimenopause brought on by the schiz meds and that’s why I was having horrendous 4-hour hot flashes during the middle of the day and another hot flash around 9pm for about an hour AND random cold flashes when my body felt like it.

I also read that THC boosts the effects of vitamin D supplements, and that together they can actually stop ovulation and cause a pseudomenopause in some people and a pseudoperimenopause in others.

That’s with TCH only 3x a week and more than 5000+ IU/day of vitamin D.

The other side effects of too much vitamin D include hallucinations. Like I didn’t have enough trouble with that 🙄

It also elevates your calcium, so there’s risk of kidney stones. There’s dizziness, vomiting, nausea, etc.

If someone takes enough, their organs can start shutting down, but that’s going over 250,000 IU/week.

I’ve never liked the fact that you can’t trust doctors to take care of you. I’m proactive about the entire family’s health, and it annoys some docs, but I don’t give a shit. Not when they pull fucked up shit like this on people.

The wildest part of this whole thing is that got a hold of my lab results from back when I was started on vitamin D and my level was only low-normal 😡

I’m only 3 weeks out from stopping the vitamin D, so maybe I’m wrong and I actually am in medication-induced perimenopause but I just don’t have severe symptoms, but whatever it is, the hot and cold flashes that have plagued me for 4 years now are gone 🥳

Entry 27

I find these days that I have a lot going on. I feel so many things, and think so many thoughts. This means that there is a lot to go over in this particular journal. So, I guess that I will have to start at the beginning. It is the logical thing to do.

Today is Saturday June 1st 2024. Tomorrow, being Sunday, I will be entering my 28th week of my current pregnancy. This means that I am two weeks into my third trimester. During this pregnancy, I ascertain that I have been experiencing symptoms that I did not have with my other two pregnancies with my daughters Maya and Chloe. These symptoms include:

-> Hot flashes -> Mood swings

-> Food cravings -> Dizziness

-> Back pain -> Dehydration

-> Discomfort -> Nausea

-> Rib pain -> Vomiting

-> Fatigue -> Insomnia

-> Heartburn -> Headaches

-> Frequent urination -> Irritability

-> Contractions

These symptoms have been difficult to deal with, and often leave me exhausted. Today, for example, I feel abnormally exhausted, but cannot sleep. I am drinking a lot more liquids than before, and I am in a lot more pain. These are the kinds of symptoms I am not used to.

I even reached out to Judi Carboni, a nurse practitioner in Stewart Medical's Salem office. I need to set up an appointment so I can be seen. I need to get the glucose test and the TDAP shot done. The TDAP shot will protect Charlotte, as well as myself, form ever developing whooping cough. As for the glucose test, also known as Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)? This test will tell me whether or not I have developed Gestational Diabetes. I also have some questions and concerns to discuss, including:

How do you tell the different between Braxton Hicks and real contractions?

How much water should I be drinking to avoid dehydration?

How soon should I start pumping and saving milk?

How much pain is normal during the 3rd trimester?

Are every day headaches bad?

What are the signs of hypertension during the 3rd trimester?

How often should the baby be moving in utero?

Why is the heartburn so bad that is leaves me with chest pain and a sore throat?

Why am I still getting nauseous and vomiting?

Is perimenopause the reason behind my hot flashes?

There is another thing I want to write about. The pre-trial date for my DCF custody case was yesterday afternoon at 2pm at Lawrence District Courthouse. Some people attended virtually, as did I. As to who attended:

-> Judge Hennessey -> DCF Attorney

-> Anthony Levasseur -> Kempton Giggey

-> Rebecca Rogers -> Adoption Team

-> Myself

During these proceedings, I learned a couple of interesting things. Out of these things, some were interesting, some were surprising, and some were startling.

The first thing I learned was that DCF is requesting Anthony's medical record from Worcester State Recovery Center and Hospital. The department believes that this is relevant to the case because Anthony was arrested two weeks ago on a domestic charge. They think that this hospitalization record can help them to better ascertain what Anthony's mental health really looks like.

The second thing I learned was from Anthony's attorney Kempton. He said that Anthony has a supposed brain injury that he sustained as a child. This is absolute bullshit! I have been through every page of his medical record and nowhere does it mention anything about any kind of brain injury. This information is completely false. They are lying trying to make him look better.

The third thing I learned was actually the most concerning. Anthony was asked multiple times by the DCF worker not to come to his visitations armed. Anthony has apparently been going to his visits armed with a knife. This information is very concerning, as it makes him a threat to Maya and Chloe. If it were up to me, he would never see the girls again after pulling a stunt like that. The girls are not safe with him.

The fourth thing I learned is that my interests and the interests of DCF are strangely aligned for once. I am not fighting for custody of Maya and Chloe. I am actually in the works of a proposed option of open adoption with my adoptive father Dale and step-mother Jennifer. It seems that it just so happens that DCF is in agreement with this plan. This was interesting to learn, especially since DCF thinks that I should not have any visits.

The next court date before the case moves to trial is on Thursday August 29th at 2pm. This particular date, is to go over any and all motions the attorney's want to put before the court before trial on the following dates:

-> Wednesday September 11th 2024

-> Thursday September 12th 2024

-> Friday September 13th 2024

-> Monday September 16th 2024

There is one last thing I was to go over before I end this journal. We might finally have everything we need for when Charlotte is born. However, we may need an extra box of diapers, an extra box of wipes, and we still need a thing (container) of baby powder or diaper cream. We even have my hospital bag and the diaper bag ready to go for when the time comes. However, I am not the one who packed the diaper bag. Jason packed the diaper bag so I could pack my hospital bag.

Just to be sure that it was packed correctly, I may have to go through it to ensure that Jason packed it correctly. I am in no way saying that he did it wrong. I simply want to be 100% certain that we have everything we will need for the hospital. Here is what should be packed in the diaper bag:

-> Pacifiers -> Swaddles

-> Burp cloths -> Nursing covers

-> Diaper cream -> Mittens/socks

-> Wipes -> Hats

-> Diapers -> Extra outfits x3

-> Changing pad -> Grooming kit

-> Tissues -> Gloves

I think I will check it now.

MENOPAUSE

What is menopause

Menopause is the stage in life when periods stop due to the lowering of hormone levels and when a female can no longer become pregnant. Usually occurring between the ages of 45 and 55, it can happen earlier or as a result of surgeries and treatments such as hysterectomy or cancer treatment. You may also experience “perimenopause” when you experience symptoms before your period has stopped. You are considered menopausal if you have not had a period in 12 months. Menopause and perimenopause can significantly affect your everyday life, including health, relationships and work. The menopause is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed due to a lack of education and those seeking help.

The symptoms of menopause

Each person who goes through menopause will have a different experience. Some may have an extreme list of symptoms, and some may have none. Symptoms include:

Ending of periods (not for perimenopause)

Low mood and mood swings

Anxiety

Low self-esteem and confidence

Memory and concentration problems

Hot flushes – a sudden feeling of heat on your upper body, including the face, which may make you feel dizzy

Cold flashes – likewise, you may feel coldness in the upper body

Sudden fast heartbeat and palpitations

Severe headaches and migraines

Weight gain and changes to your body shape

Dry and itchy skin

Thinning hair

Loss of breast fulness

Lowered sex drive

Dryness and pain in the vagina or pain during sex

Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is the primary treatment for menopause and perimenopause and is proven to be highly successful. However, many also use natural remedies alongside HRT, including essential oils to ease symptoms.

What essential oils for menopause?

Whether looking for natural remedies for hot flushes or essential oils for hormone balancing, many aromatherapists believe it’s possible to manage your menopause naturally. Here are some essential oils that experts believe assist with the relief of symptoms:

Essential oils for hormone balancing

Menopause brings hormonal changes that can leave you feeling anxious and depressed. Essential oils can help balance your hormones and ease symptoms. The top essential oils for hormone balance include:

Geranium – known for its soothing and uplifting with a floral scent

Basil – contains phytoestrogen, which assists with restoring hormonal balance

Lavender – one of the most popular essential oils; lavender is used to relieve stress and promote overall wellbeing

Essential oils for mood swings

Those experiencing menopause may feel depressed, anxious or generally irritable. There are some essential oils which can help with balancing emotions. The top essential oils for mood swings are:

Clary Sage – contains natural phytoestrogens, which help mimic the effects of estrogen

Jasmine – this fresh floral yet warming essential oil is known to uplift the mood and help reduce anxiety

Lavender – again, this well-rounded essential oil works nicely to improve moods and relax the mind

Essential oils for hot flushes and night sweats

In addition to the upset with hormones, menopause sufferers may experience hot flushes and night sweats. These can come on suddenly, so having some natural remedies to hand can help. The top essential oils for hot flushes are:

Peppermint – an instant burst of coolness from peppermint works wonders during a hot flush

Ylang Ylang – commonly used to help balance your hormones, resulting in fewer hot flushes

Basil – this hormone-balancing essential oil is known to aid hot flushes and is packed with goodness

Essential oils for menopause weight gain

Some women may lose weight during menopause; some find they gain weight. For those who do, this can be upsetting and stressful, particularly if you have never had weight which fluctuates. Some of the most recommended essential oils to help with weight gain during menopause are:

Juniper Berry – packed full of antioxidant properties, many believe juniper berry essential oil can be used to help maintain body weight.

Grapefruit – this refreshing fruit is known to help kick start your metabolism, and many use it in the form of essential oil during menopause.

Peppermint – it is claimed that regular inhalation of peppermint oil reduces appetite and food cravings.

Essential oils for sleep

Sleep can be one of the most affected areas concerning menopause. Lack of sleep can be caused by many other symptoms such as night sweats and mood swings. The good news is that essential oils can significantly ensure a good night’s rest. The top essential oils for sleep during menopause include:

Chamomile – often used in aromatherapy, chamomile essential oil is soothing and may help improve depressive moods.

Lavender – supports the nervous system to relax, regulates sleep processes and is often used to create positive feelings for the mind and body.

Frankincense – a woody essential oil with spicy undertones often used as a natural remedy for people with insomnia

Menopause comes with a wide range of symptoms, emotional reactions and levels of discomfort that you may find other essential oils work better for you. Some of the more popular essential oils for common symptoms include:

For concentration – Rosemary, Sage, Peppermint and Eucalyptus

For dry skin – Chamomile, Rose Geranium, Myrrh and Sandalwood

For thinning hair – Peppermint, Red Thyme, Cedarwood and Lemon

If you are considering using natural remedies and essential oils to manage the symptoms of your menopause, we strongly recommend consulting your GP first.

How to use essential oils for menopause

How and when you use essential oils for menopause relief depends on the symptoms you are experiencing. Here are some of the most popular methods as recommended by aromatherapists:

With a diffuser – the simplest way to use essential oils to treat menopause symptoms. Add a few drops of your chosen essential oils to a diffuser. This will allow a constant stream of essential oil aroma throughout your home.

As a massage oil – known to relieve stress, massage is a great way to reduce your anxiety levels. When using essential oils for massage, dilute them with a suitable carrier oil like jojoba oil or sweet almond oil to avoid skin irritation. You can even combine your preferred essential oils to create a massage oil blend specific to your symptoms.

A room spray or pillow mist – a room spray is perfect for those on the go or for a good night’s rest. Read our Homemade Room Spray Recipes blog for step-by-step instructions for making your own.

Bath oil – essential oil baths can help relieve stress and anxieties. Mix a few drops of essential oil with a tablespoon of carrier oil into your steaming bath water, then relax.

On the pulse points – dilute your chosen oil in a bottle with a roller lid and apply it directly to the pulse points.

Make hot flushes, sleepless nights, mood swings and the many symptoms caused by menopause that little more manageable with the help of amazing pure essential oils.

Important: Pure essential oils can be powerful. Please seek advice when using them directly on the skin (most will need to be diluted) and seek advice from a professional before use if unsure.

They said, “Life begins at 40.” Indeed, it happened to me but only on my health. In my early 40’s, I was diagnosed with perimenopause suffering abnormal bleeding, undergone hormone treatment which had given me 6 months of relief and eventually ended up of having hysterectomy but still have to experience all symptoms of menopause. All throughout my 40’s, have few health issues including vertigo which affected me badly. I had a fabulous 50 with no medication to take! And then Boom! As I was approaching my 51 years of existence, My blood pressure went crazy accompanied with dizzy spells and palpitations and lost a fair bit of weight. I did cry, because it affected my career, my moods and eventually made me tried a change in my career path. Even though the change gave me some relief, was not happy. On mid 2021, I Moved back to Sydney for career growth. I was only then taking medication for my hypertension and was so focused on my work which has more responsibilities, and is very stressful but was enjoying the challenge. My work was my exercise mentally and physically. Then on early 2022, I suffered frequently with vertigo, then issues with cholesterol and blood sugar and gaining weights. Those health issues lead me take more medication.I cried over petty things like not fitting on my favourite size 6 and 8 clothes and not able to use my vibrating workout platform. But the biggest health scare I have when I was diagnosed with breast cancer this year! I felt that time that My world just got crushed down in front of me. I cried and still do. Food and my work were my comfort. Burying myself at work made me forget about the big C. Recently, underwent mastectomy. I am slowly accepting the physical changes , but every time I see my self in front of the mirror and the difficulty of dressing up and not fitting into my clothes, I feel depressed and cry in silence. For me, my real sadness is that Cancer changed me physically and mentally. I really don’t know what really lies ahead on my next birthday and I am scared but I have BIG HOPES and FAITH in GOD. #lifechallenges #womenshealth #beatingcancer https://www.instagram.com/p/CmUwvwrSg4nJuPz4BAl6y06CDpfvm_DhIN_-Jg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cannabis for migraine: an ancient remedy meets modern science

MIGRAINE. Not just a really bad headache, migraine is actually a neurological disorder, and headache is merely one of the symptoms. Other symptoms include the infamous nausea, vomiting, and visual disturbances, but can also include brain fog, extreme sensitivity to light and sound, fatigue, stiff neck, slurred speech, difficulty finding words, dizziness or vertigo, numbness or tingling, and weakness or partial paralysis.

Some people have such severe symptoms that they can appear to be having a stroke. Migraine can be catastrophically disabling for an individual, and it’s an expensive public health burden, too; healthcare and lost productivity costs associated with migraine are estimated to be as high as $36 billion annually in the United States.

Migraine is a tricky demon and exceedingly difficult to treat. A treatment that works for one person may have no effect on another. A migraineur may go for years trying dozens of different medications, devices, and interventions before finding a combination that helps.

Cannabis may be the oldest migraine remedy ever; it has been used as a headache treatment for thousands of years. According to neurologist Ethan Russo, written documentation of cannabis as medicine is nearly as old as writing itself, with examples from a broad range of ancient cultures. Cannabis was a highly revered headache remedy in Europe for centuries, and was the preferred treatment for migraines in Europe and America from the early 1800s until 1941, when it was dropped from the official US Pharmacopoeia and essentially lost as a medicine.

Despite its Schedule 1 status, which has stonewalled medical research for decades, the scientific literature includes some very encouraging studies on cannabis and migraine. Anecdotal evidence abounds; for examples of this and for peer support, I highly recommend the Facebook groups Migraine Strong and MigraineBuds.

Cannabis may exert its migraine-soothing powers in multiple ways:

Influencing neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate

Mediating inflammation by several different mechanisms

Boosting levels of endogenous opioids (endorphins)

Acting as an antioxidant to combat oxidative stress from free radicals, which some researchers believe is the common denominator underlying all migraine triggers

Augmenting the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is likely to be deficient in migraineurs.

Because migraine is such a complex disease, successful treatment is too often tantalizingly out of reach. When I developed chronic migraine upon reaching perimenopause (thanks, wonky hormones!), I tried dozens of medications and treatments and was still having 12-20 migraine days every month.

Desperate enough to wear these super dorky specially tinted migraine glasses in front of my coworkers in the operating room.

I was transformed from an avid hiker, gardener, and lover of the outdoors to someone who, if I made it through an entire workday, went home and went straight to bed, closing the blinds to shut out the light that felt like an icepick boring into my skull.

I’m lucky, though; I’m stubborn, curious, and don’t give up easily. I wasn’t going to take this lying down – or if I had to stay lying down, at least I was going to be on my iPad researching the hell out of migraine and all the possible ways I could potentially fix myself! Thankfully, I eventually hit upon a combination of interventions which managed to soothe my hypersensitive brain.

Preparing for my first sphenopalatine ganglion nerve block.

Cannabis was not a miracle cure for me, but it has been an important piece of my recovery. Unfortunately, using cannabis to abort a migraine in progress was a mixed bag. Smoking pot sometimes seemed to help, but more often than not I would end up uncomfortably baked but in no less pain – definitely not a fun situation.

Adding daily CBD oil has seemed to make the biggest difference, but again, it has been just one piece of my “treatment pie”, which for me included multiple interventions – CBD, acupuncture, and dietary supplements are the ones I still rely on to stay mostly migraine-free.

Will cannabis, whether from marijuana or hemp, work for your migraines? There’s only one way to find out - try it! Thankfully, access to both marijuana and hemp products is getting easier all the time. Experimenting comes with minimal risks (mainly, be aware of possible drug interactions), and the potential for benefit is huge.

You will likely need a multi-pronged approach to treatment, which could include dietary changes, supplements, medications, nerve blocks, electrical or magnetic devices, and lifestyle adjustments along with cannabis.

The options for treatment are seemingly endless and can be overwhelming, but look on the bright side: there is always something else to try! New treatments are coming out all the time – but the oldest migraine treatment of all may just be the one that gives you your life back.

10 Ways to Balance Your Hormones Naturally - Don't Mess with Mama

Do you feel like your hormones are out of control? You’re not alone. Most women have experienced a hormonal imbalance. Here are the signs and symptoms of a hormonal imbalance…

21 Signs of a Hormonal Imbalance Have you experienced any of these symptoms?

Foggy thinking Increased forgetfulness Insomnia Water retention Weight gain around the waist Abdominal fat Decreased muscle mass, and strength Decreased urine flow Prostate problems Increased urinary urge Fatigue Difficulty sleeping Anxiety Decreased stamina Dizzy spells Lightheadedness Frequent colds/flu Headaches Irritability Morning fatigue Sugar cravings You could have a hormonal imbalance. The first thing you need to do is do an at-home hormone test or take the hormone quiz I recommend below to see what’s out of balance.

What Causes Hormone Imbalance? Virtually everyone experiences imbalanced hormone levels at some point in their lives, especially women. These imbalances are often a result of natural changes that occur with age, such as puberty and menopause. When you were growing up, hormones triggered bone and muscle growth. They also set in motion the reproductive changes that led to menstruation and fertility in young women, and sexual maturity in young men. This surge of hormones is behind the acne, mood swings, and other “teen” issues that affect most adolescents.

On the other end of the spectrum, hormone production slows as you leave your reproductive years behind. A decline in hormone production is what leads to perimenopause and menopause symptoms in women, and low libido and erectile dysfunction in men entering middle age.

Some hormonal imbalances, however, can have other underlying causes beyond the natural aging processes, including:

Chronic stress Elevated blood sugar Lack of Sleep Thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism) Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or birth control pills Type 1 or type 2 diabetes Being overweight Endocrine disruptors such as pesticides, herbicides, and plastics Steroids and other medications Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Why Is Hormone Balance Important? Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. They help control every physiological process in your body, including metabolism, immune system, menstrual cycle, and reproduction. A precise hormone balance is vital to proper body functioning.

How to Test Your Hormones One of my favorite resources for balancing hormones naturally is the book The Hormone Cure by Sara Gottfried. She has a quiz you can take in the book to figure out on your own what hormones are out of balance, and she gives natural remedies, exercises, supplements, and other tips to balance hormones. For instance, if you have higher cortisol levels, you’ll want to stay away from running and intense exercises like kickboxing. Yoga and mind-body exercises are better suited for you.

While The Hormone Cure is a great start, I also recommend getting a hormone lab test. It’s the most accurate way of finding out what’s going on with your hormones. It’s an at-home hormone lab test that tests saliva samples (which is one of the most accurate ways to test hormones). This test provides an assessment for estradiol/estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and cortisol (am, noon, dinner, and before bed).

And the best part? You can schedule a one-on-one consultation with a functional medicine doctor with True Health Labs to go over your test results. There’s no need to schedule a doctor visit.  There’s no need to drive to your appointment. Just add the consultation to your cart when you order the at-home hormone lab test. The entire process took about 2-3 weeks from the time I received the kit, sent in my samples, waited for the results, and had my consultation.

You can then use the tips in this post and The Hormone Cure book to balance your hormones naturally.

Video Q&A with Dr. Brady Hurst I also interviewed Dr. Brady Hurst of True Health Labs on the basics of women’s hormones, how hormones affect other body systems, symptoms of hormone imbalances, how diet and lifestyle can affect hormones, natural ways to balance hormones, and how to get an at-home female hormones test.

10 Ways to Balance Hormones Naturally 1. Try seed cycling Did you know you can actually regulate your menstrual cycle and reduce PMS (and PMS-related symptoms like cramping) naturally? You can with seed cycling. This concept may seem new but naturopathic health practitioners have been using this method for a while to balance hormones. Cycling seeds (such as pumpkin, flax, sunflower, or sesame seeds) at certain times of the menstrual cycle can help your body to produce hormones or eliminate certain hormones to quell PMS symptoms. Find out more about how to balance hormones naturally with seed cycling.

2. Avoid GMO foods While it’s no surprise that dairy, meat, and pork may come from cows and pigs who have been treated with hormones, genetically-modified (GMO) foods can cause hormonal imbalance too. Long-term ingestion GMO foods that are sprayed with pesticides can cause hormonal issues that have been linked to depression, infertility, PCOS, and cancer. Eating a diet with little to no GMO foods and rich in local and organic produce can help to balance hormones.

3. Walk barefoot Crazy as it may sound – the key to lowering cortisol (a hormone associated with stress, inflammation, and sleep dysfunction) may be to walk barefoot – like on a grassy lawn, sandy beach, or even a concrete road. There are 1,300+ nerve endings per square inch on the soles of your feet – more than any other part of your body. Walking barefoot – or earthing – helps to ground you to the earth and in a way conduct the energy from the ground. Keep reading The Healing Power of Earthing.

4. Eat more liver Your mother was right. The liver really is good for you – and in a way, you wouldn’t expect. The liver is the most nutrient-dense food you can eat. It can help to curb PMS and mood swings, increase energy, and improve cardiovascular stamina. While the thought of eating liver each day may seem unfathomable, you can take liver pills (de.

5. Cut down on sugar and alcohol The two biggest endocrine disruptors are sugar and wine. Sugar can lead to inflammation and feeds yeast in the gut, which can lead to leaky gut syndrome and other digestive issues. Alcohol disrupts your body’s natural detox abilities, which helps to keep your hormones in check. Lay off both sugar and alcohol to feel better within just a week.

6. Take a detox bath Balance your hormones with a relaxing bath. But not just any bath. A detox bath with Epsom salts. Epsom salts provide magnesium to help to balance and support healthy hormones.

7. Drink water sole Unlike you’ve been told as a kid, drinking salt water is good for you. Unlike ocean water or saltwater made with table salt, water sole is made with natural salt such as Himalayan pink salt. It’s like a natural electrolyte drink. Drinking a lot of plain water can dilute the fluid in the body and may cause a stress response – such as an increase in stress hormones. Water sole hydrates without diluting the body. Natural salt also helps to reduce stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline – encouraging a better night’s sleep. Read more on how to make water sole and its benefits.

8. Avoid soy Soy and soy products have been touted as a health food for decades, but the reality is that soy is not healthy. If eaten unfermented, soy has anti-nutrients that actually block the absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. In addition, eating as little as two tablespoons of soybeans per day for a month can significantly increase thyroid-stimulating hormones. Soy consumption is linked to thyroid issues such as hypothyroidism, goiter, and autoimmune thyroid disease.

9. Ditch the low-fat diet Fat is really good for you, especially saturated fat. Your body depends on fat for necessary functions. It supports metabolic rate (metabolism), thyroid function, immune system, and digestion. The best options for saturated fats are butter (from organic or grass-fed cows), ghee, and rendered fats (such as lard and tallow).

Cold-pressed olive oil is another great fat source – just don’t heat it. Save it for salads or as a garnish on foods. While saturated fats from animal fat and are good for you, there are two facts you should avoid.

Vegetable oils (such as canola, cottonseed, soybean, and grapeseed) are polyunsaturated fats that actually cause inflammation and can cause a hormonal imbalance. These fats are usually derived from GMO sources, contain pesticides, and are heavily refined and processed. Trans fats are another fat to avoid – occurring in hydrogenated oils such as Crisco and food products with hydrogenated oils.

10. Consider supplements Sometimes eating a whole food diet isn’t enough to help balance hormones. Consider supplements such as magnesium, calcium, and fish oil/omega-3 – as well as herbs and whole foods such as Tulsi (holy basil), gelatin, Maca root. These delicious treats help to balance stressors in the body – including estrogen imbalance.

Sleep And Hormone Imbalance No matter how nutritious your diet is and how much exercise you get, your health will suffer if you don’t get enough restorative sleep.

Poor sleep has been linked to imbalances of many hormones, including insulin, cortisol, leptin, ghrelin, and growth hormone.

Inadequate or poor-quality sleep has been shown to decrease fullness hormones, increase hunger and stress hormones, reduce growth hormone, and increase insulin resistance.

Top Tips To Balance Hormones Naturally Take a bath with Epsom salts for a detox. Avoid GMO foods Tulsi is a great natural supplement to help with hormone imbalance. Make sure to get enough good quality sleep.

Periods & Queeriods 101

The first time I woke up in a pool of my own blood, something changed forever. 

My life, sure, but most importantly my sheets. Blood stains don’t come out, especially when you’re a ten-year-old child who does not know how to do their own laundry (side note: the answer is a cold water rinse and blotting with hydrogen peroxide). But also, you know, puberty was a big change too. 

Menstruation isn’t always pretty--it’s bloody. I’m not going to lead with the whole “this means you’re becoming a woman” bullshit because not all women menstruate and people of any and no gender can and do menstruate. Periods can suck. They can be uncomfortably heavy, irregular, painful, and dysphoric. And while you might see your period as an indicator that you are alive (yay!), you don’t have to be grateful to have a period. In fact, you don’t have to be grateful for any bad and uncomfortable experiences or for your formative trauma. Sometimes things just suck, and that’s okay--you exist not because of these things, but in spite of them. 

So, without further ado:

What is Menstruation?

Menstruation is the periodic discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus that signals that an egg released from an ovary has not been fertilized. It is an indicator that the person experiencing it has entered puberty, and often occurs alongside other physiological and mental changes. 

The word “menstruation” has the Latin root mens, which means “monthly.” However, while lots of people menstruate regularly once a month, many periods occur irregularly. A period is considered irregular if the first day of your period is longer than 38 days from the first day of your next period, or if the duration between periods varies. Irregular periods can be caused by pregnancy, hormonal birth control, breastfeeding, perimenopause, polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid conditions, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, extreme weight changes, eating disorders, excessive exercise, stress, certain medications, certain cancers, and other hormonal problems. Certain hormones, like those in hormonal birth control, can cease menstruation entirely! This is fine, because menstruation is not medically necessary. 

The Menstrual Cycle

I know, I’m throwing a lot of vocabulary at y’all (check the bottom of this article for a cohesive list of definitions included here). While menstruation is the actual physical shedding of uterine lining, a menstrual cycle is the period of time it takes for eggs within the ovaries to mature. The same hormones that cause egg maturation during the follicular phase thicken the lining of the uterus during what’s called the ovulatory phase, so that if the egg becomes fertilized by a sperm cell, it has someplace to land and grow. The uterine lining that is created is made of nutrient-rich tissues and blood. Cervical fluid during this time is white or yellow, with a creamy and tacky consistency. 

During the ovulatory phase, hormones cause the release of a mature egg from the ovaries. Most people don’t feel when they ovulate, but sometimes it causes bloating, spotting, or pain in the lower belly on one side. During this time, a person is their most fertile with cervical fluid that is stretchy and slippery with an egg-white consistency. After the ovulatory phase comes the luteal phase, during which estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone rise to their highest levels and then drop, causing PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and the beginning of the menstrual phase. During this phase, cervical fluid is thick, white, and dry. 

After the luteal phase comes the menstrual phase. If the egg is not fertilized and pregnancy does not happen, the lining of the uterus is broken down and shed through the vaginal opening (a period!) The hormones that cause this bloody exodus also have receptors in your gut which is why many people get period poops--your whole lower abdominal area is receiving signals to squeeze. If pregnancy does occur, menstruation pauses until you are no longer pregnant.

PMS

PMS stands for premenstrual syndrome, the emotional and physical symptoms that people feel right before and during their periods as a result of hormonal changes. Some people get PMS every time they get their period, others experience it sometimes or not at all. Symptoms include:

Food cravings

Increased appetite

Tender, swollen, or sore chest

Bloating

Headaches

Weight gain

Dizziness

Muscle/joint pain

Fatigue

Skin breakouts

Nausea

Belly cramps

Depression

Anxiety

Mood swings

Irritability

Trouble concentrating

Insomnia

Changes in sexual desires

A more severe version of PMS (but wait, there’s more!) is PMDD--premenstrual dysphoric disorder which causes intense physical and mental health symptoms during the two weeks leading up to your period and goes away at the beginning of menstruation. The symptoms of PMDD are similar to PMS but more intense (think “panic attacks”) and can be overwhelming. But you don’t have to face it alone! If you have these symptoms, get in touch with a medical professional maybe in conjunction with therapy. 

Menstruation vs Periods

Even people who don’t have vaginas, uteruses, or ovaries can have periods. If you have been on a  hormone replacement therapy (HRT) regimen that includes estrogen for a few months, you likely will experience monthly symptoms like chest tenderness, bloating, mood swings, cramping, nausea, and period sh*ts--periods without the blood, eggs, or tissue. 

Who menstruates?

Anyone with a uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes can menstruate. Sometimes people take puberty blockers before they reach puberty which can prevent periods and other gendered body changes. Those who already have periods can use birth control methods like the implant or a hormonal IUD that may lighten or stop their periods altogether. Taking testosterone can make your period go away--injections do this faster than topical creams-- although it will come back if you stop your regimen. 

Menstruation stops when menopause starts, around age 45 for folx with uteruses who are not on HRT regimens.

@pandora-twists replied to your photoset “houseofglass: phascinationphases: Oh wow, I think Jared is going...”

@mayalaen2 may I know what things to slow then female balding, asking for a friend ofcourse...lol no seriously my hair's been suffering since I lost a ton of weight

I’m sorry you’re having hair loss issues. My mom’s sister, brother, and mother all have significant hair loss. My uncle started shaving his head, but my aunt and grandma... the poor things, look like babies with only a little bit of peach fuzz.

In your case, there’s a good chance it’s vitamin deficiencies because of the weight loss. If you’ve done stomach stapling, I’d strongly recommend going to a nutritionist who has experience with stomach stapling because stomach stapling has a HUGE impact and you’ll need a lot of help to make sure you’re as healthy as you can be.

Whether you’ve done stomach stapling or not, it might be a good idea to get some blood work to see what you’re lacking. If that’s not an option, try the vitamin suggestions below, but keep an eye out for overdose symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, a funny taste in your mouth, vomiting, nerve twitching/sensitivity, etc. Also look out for strong-smelling urine. You’ll get a strong smell and bright yellow if you’re taking a B complex vitamin, but this is normal.

Start taking a prenatal vitamin to add lots of iron and B vitamins. Also start taking a B12 lozenge - the kind that dissolves under your tongue. B vitamins have a tendency to go straight through your system instead of being used by your body, so using the lozenge helps get more into your system.

Be careful of the brand you use. I use Nature Made because it has a USP seal on it. Companies only get the USP seal if they’ve proven they have the correct vitamin and potency they’ve claimed on the bottle. There are a lot of bad supplements out there. Whatever brand you chose, make sure it’s got the USP seal.

Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, iron, zinc, and protein are the most important for your hair.

Take a look at your shampoo and conditioner. Make sure there are no acids in the ingredients. You might even want to think about switching to a dry shampoo or stop washing your hair altogether.  Check out This Post to see how to do that. A friend of mine has done it for I think 3 years and her hair went from super thin and always-greasy-looking to thick, healthy, and not greasy. The first few months is hard but worth it.

Stop wearing hats, scarves, headbands, or any hair ties and clips that rub, pull, or twist your hair. Your scalp needs to breathe, so covering it with something that also rubs your scalp isn’t good for your hair. Avoid tight braids too.

If you’re vegan or a vegetarian, go to a nutritionist. A lot of people decide they want to become vegan or vegetarian, but they don’t do enough research on how to properly replace what they’re missing out on, and their body suffers for it. This can definitely cause thin, weak hair and/or nails.

Drink more water. Cut out caffeine. Cut out dark sodas (or soda altogether if you can). Lower your sugar intake. Switch to genuine pink salt instead of table salt.

Stop blow-drying your hair. This is super damaging. If you can’t stop, use the cool setting on the blow dryer. Heat damages your hair. Speaking of heat, keep your showers warm instead of hot.

Don’t color or perm your hair. Stop pretty much everything you’d do at a salon other than getting a cut :)

Check the hair products you use like hairspray. A lot of the cheaper ones have acids in them.

Gently massage your head. Stimulation to the scalp helps promote hair growth. My aunt and grandmother love standing in the shower and moving their heads under the shower head.

Be very careful of claims that essential oils can help hair. There are A LOT of people out there selling toxic essential oils, and oils can clog your hair follicles.

Oh, and be aware that most people lose hair as summer approaches. My dad and I lose A LOT of hair and my mom always says we’re shedding. We live in the desert, and both of us have very thick, heavy hair and lots of it, so it’s kinda nice when we lose the bulk during summer.

Menopause can also cause hair loss. If you’re perimenopausal, menopausal, or postmenopausal, I’d suggest Estroven. Not only will it help with mood and hot flashes, it’ll help a little with the hair loss. Make sure you don’t get the “Energy+” version.

If none of this works and you want to pursue something else, see your doctor. There are medications that can help, but PLEASE listen to your doctor about how to use them and what not to do. You can endanger animals (especially cats) and children if you use it wrong. You can also have an impact on the testosterone level of men in your life if you use it wrong :)

Hopefully this helps, and good luck!

2. Red Clover

The flowers of the legume Trifolium pratense, or Red Clover, are commonly prepared as supplements for alleviating menopausal issues. Its effectiveness for lessening hot flashes and other symptoms has been largely attributed to its rich isoflavone content. Isoflavones contain bio-identical hormones, particularly phytoestrogens, which are similar in structure to the body’s natural estrogen. These substances help balance a woman’s depleting estrogen levels, which result in a better mood, well-managed menopause, and overall reproductive health. Besides these benefits, Red Clover has also been said to possibly minimize the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

3. St. John’s Wort

It is specifically known for its antidepressant properties and has been used to tone down depression for centuries. St. John’s Wort contains the active chemicals hypericin and hyperforin that seem to influence the release of mood-regulating “happy hormones” serotonin and dopamine. This explains why the herb has been a trusted go-to for those feeling down and hopeless because it so powerfully lifts the mood. This supplement is the perfect companion for menopausal women battling negative feelings and mood disorders.

4. Vitamin D

This essential vitamin is necessary for maintaining bone health and mineral density in menopausal and post-menopausal older women. Even without complementary calcium supplementation, Vitamin D intake of 500-800 IU daily has been found to be effective in strengthening the bones and reducing the risk of fractures due to osteoporosis. Vitamin D can be synthesized naturally in the skin through adequate sunlight exposure or can be obtained from fatty fish and seafood such as tuna, mackerel, oysters, and shrimp. If you lack access to these natural sources, Vitamin D is also widely available in supplement form.

5. USP Progesterone Creams

Who said supplements can only be taken via the oral route? Supplemental transdermal creams can now be applied onto the skin and absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This new path has been studied for its optimum and fast-acting effects in contrast to the digestive pathway, which may even trouble the stomach and trigger acidity in some individuals.

USP progesterone creams such as Whole Family Products best progesterone cream for menopause, MenoBalance Cream, may help reduce PMS symptoms and ease women’s menopausal discomforts through its natural hormone ingredient. Containing bioidentical progesterone converted from the roots of Mexican Wild Yam that mimics the body’s naturally occurring progesterone, it helps improve the body’s failing progesterone levels in menopausal women.

Hormonal imbalance caused by low progesterone and high estrogen count is the common culprit behind the bothersome physical, mental, and emotional symptoms common to women experiencing menopause and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

Therefore, finding the best USP progesterone cream for menopause may well be the answer to your menopausal woes. In addition, aside from natural menopause relief, younger women may also attain PMS symptoms relief through the same progesterone-infused transdermals.
