Did you know?
The adrenal glands continue to produce hormones throughout menopause. While DHEA and testosterone naturally decline with age, cortisol (our stress hormone) tends to increase.
One important reminder: low androgen levels do not always explain menopause symptoms, and routine testosterone or DHEA testing isn’t recommended for every woman.
Menopause is more than lab values—it’s about understanding your body and supporting your overall well-being.
One of the most empowering things we can do as women is understand our bodies. Did you know we’re born with all the eggs we’ll ever have? Our reproductive journey begins long before our first period and continues through perimenopause and menopause.
Menopause isn’t the end of femininity, beauty, or purpose. It can be the beginning of confidence, freedom, wisdom… and maybe even our sexy years.
Here’s to aging with knowledge, grace, and a little bit of sparkle. ✨
48 today… and apparently I’ve entered my menopause influencer era lol
I will spend a lot of time on my birthday posting about hot flashes, hormones, and all the things nobody warned us about. But honestly? Aging is a privilege. Menopause isn’t the end of our story—it might just be the beginning of our sexy years
Here’s to wisdom, confidence, laughing at ourselves, and thriving through every season of womanhood. Grateful for another year of life, faith, family, purpose, and all of you who are on this journey with me.
Cheers to 48… fabulous, fearless, and thriving.
