What supplements should every woman in consider taking? 🤔 (These are great to be used with or without hormone therapy. 🤌🏻)

☑️ Pregnenolone: This is a precursor hormone that will help support & bolster your body’s natural hormone production (DHEA, progesterone, testostēronē, & estrogen). Safe to take with or without HRT!

☑️ Vitamin D3 + K2: Vitamin D is absolutely essential for hormone synthesis. Also incredible for mood, brain health, bone health, and overall hormone support.

☑️ Iron: If your ferritin or iron is low, I would highly recommend supplementing with iron. We recommend ferrous bisglycinate paired with vitamin C. Also great for thyroid support!

☑️ Magnesium Glycinate: Incredible for sleep, anxiety, digestion, cognitive function, and nervous system support!

☑️ Bonus: L-theanine: If you are struggling with insomnia, anxiety, anxiety related symptoms, or elevated cortisol, I would definitely recommend adding L-theanine to your daily routine. 🙏🏼

As a general rule of thumb, supplements are great for managing mild symptoms, but if you are taking multiple supplements a day and still aren’t getting full relief, this might be your sign that it’s time to explore hormone therapy to help get your body back on track! 🥹🫶🏻

If your doctor keeps telling you that your thyroid labs are ‘normal’ even though you feel like 💩… keep watching!! 👀

Most providers do not run comprehensive thyroid labs, and the ones that do are probably only referencing the standard lab ranges and slapping a gold star on your results. 🙄

Common symptoms of low or suboptimal thyroid function include…

👉🏻 Chronic fatigue & low energy
👉🏻 Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
👉🏻 Brain fog & poor concentration
👉🏻 Depression or low mood
👉🏻 Anxiety
👉🏻 Hair thinning or loss
👉🏻 Dry skin, hair, & nails
👉🏻 Feeling cold all the time
👉🏻 Constipation or slowed digestion
👉🏻 Muscle weakness, aches, or joint pain

If any of this sounds familiar, save this video & compare your most recent labs to the ranges above. And if your doctor won’t run a comprehensive thyroid panel… we will. 🫶🏻

If you’re in or menopause & you’ve never heard of pregnenolone… THIS VIDEO IS FOR YOU! 👀

Pregnenolone is hands down one of the most underrated hormone support supplements available, and I genuinely cannot understand why more healthcare providers aren’t talking about it. 🤔

Pregnenolone is known as the ‘mother hormone’ because it is a precursor to all of your other hormones (DHEA, progesterone, estrogen, & test) This means that instead of just masking your symptoms, pregnenolone actually helps your body produce more of its own hormones. 🤌🏻

Pregnenolone can help with symptoms such as…
☑️ Poor sleep & insomnia
☑️ Bloating & fluid retention
☑️ Mood swings & irritability
☑️ Anxiety
☑️ High cortisol
☑️ Poor memory & brain fog
☑️ Histamine flares & sensitivities
☑️ Progesterone intolerance
☑️ General hormonal imbalance

What makes pregnenolone especially exciting is that it is available over the counter in the US, and it is generally considered safe for most women… including those who cannot take HRT for medical reasons. 🫶🏻
