Hormones

Is anyone else experiencing hormone imbalances? I am in my late 40's and I have been told I have been in perimenopause since 2021. It's awful and medical doctors do not seem to have the tools to help. 

I have taken many hormone tests and all doctors can say is let's put you on birth control to help. Years ago I went to a holistic type functional nurse practitioner.  It was very expensive but they told me I was definitely in perimenopause and gave a bhrt compounded progesterone.  It seemed to help at first but then last year I started feeling awful again.  This time my estrogen is so low and my progesterone is not optimal either. It seems medical doctors will not recommend bhrt as a treatment. 

My symptoms are almost unbearable at times. I don't sleep very well, my joints hurt, I am experiencing hair shedding and the list goes on and on. 

I try to make products that help solve a problem.  To help with my hair shedding I plan on formulating a new hair mask that can help. I already have shampoo bars formulated to help strengthen hair strands.  My leave in conditioner spray helps keep strands hydrated and strong.

If you are experiencing perimenopause or menopause please share your story below. You are not alone. There really needs to be better research and understanding of hormone imbalances and a better way to correct these issues and help women going through this.
