PERI-WHAT???

Growing up, my periods were always quite regular. Other than a little cramping and moodiness, I never had any major disruptive symptoms associated with my cycle. So at 38 when my periods started becoming irregular and I suffered from major anxiety and depression each month, I didn’t know what was going on, or anyone who was going through something similar. When I talked to my doctor, she said that I likely was entering perimenopause and suggested taking antidepressants – but this wasn’t the solution I was looking for. I didn’t even know “peri” was a thing, or that it could last for 10 years! I thought I had to accept that “I’m getting older and this is just what happens to women.” I felt defeated.

A few years later I started experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia – unpredictable symptoms that started to affect me at work. I dreaded getting a hot flash during a presentation or meeting, not to mention being sluggish after a poor night's sleep. I felt discouraged – my body seemed like my enemy. I tried an herbal supplement but had some unpleasant side effects. I also started working out more and getting back into yoga but that didn’t help either. It felt like I was just throwing darts at a dartboard.

The turning point for me was realizing I MUST get a handle on these symptoms that were
profoundly impacting every single aspect of my life - my job, my relationships, and my health. I wasn’t in the mood for intimacy because I felt ugly and unattractive. I either felt like crying at work or paranoid about having embarrassing body odor after a hot flash. These symptoms just were NOT going to go away 'on their own' but I also knew that I could not keep going like this. In the words of Garth Brooks, I was " much too young to feel this damn old ". So I was on a mission.

I started researching and discovered that it wasn’t just about managing various menopausal symptoms – and it WAS in my control. I learned that there are SO many factors that impact hormonal health – from chemicals in your home and on your food to what type of workouts you do. After years of researching and implementing many small diet and lifestyle changes, I was FINALLY free of “the change” controlling my life. I no longer feel like ripping off my clothes during a hot flash! No more sweaty palms, monthly depression, or wondering if my clothes will fit this week. I finally feel like myself again, and embrace my body with open arms. I found my inner badass babe!

Now I am on a new mission. There are millions of women suffering needlessly out there and who are being told that "this is just what happens to women." It does NOT need to be this way. It is hard enough to climb the corporate ladder as a woman in this world. You don't need these symptoms weighing and wearing you down. So my mission is now to help women eliminate hot flashes and regain control of their bodies so they feel sexy, empowered, and alive stepping into the next phase of womanhood!
