QUOTES
“Menopause isn’t just a biological milestone—it’s a whole-body shift. The truth is, your hormones don’t stop affecting you; they just change how they interact with your body.”
“For so long, women have been told to ‘just deal with it.’ But that’s a huge myth. There are real options out there to make this stage of life vibrant and powerful.”
“Estrogen and progesterone are not just ‘reproductive hormones.’ They affect every cell in the body, and losing them affects everything from mood to metabolism to cardiovascular health.”
“We can’t ignore the connection between mood swings, energy crashes, and hormonal shifts. When you lose progesterone, it affects your brain, your mood, and even your sleep. These changes aren’t all in your head—they’re real.”
