Brain feel like mush by Friday?

Comment “BRILLIANT” to register from my free webinar Reclaim Your Brilliance happening on Oct 22 Saoud Sultan Alsulaiti EST.

Then try these 3 simple strategies to clear out mental pollution this weekend:

✅Remove notifications from your phone so it’s not dinging and pinging 100’s of times a day (also a great excuse for not answering texts/calls... “sorry, I didn’t see it”)

✅Go for a walk (preferably in nature) and leave your phone and headphones behind. Let your mind wander and get into all the nooks and crannies (I like to call this “mental flossing”)

✅Take a digital sabbath (for a few hours or a full day) and leave your phone hidden away and use it only for phone calls and texts that are urgent (I’ve been doing this most Sundays since the summer and it’s so good for my brain).

Today’s perimenopause rage is brought to you by hormone testing.

Hormone levels are often perfectly normal in perimenopause, especially in the early stages. It’s not until the 1-2 years before the final period that we usually see measurable changes in FSH and estradiol.

So having a normal hormone test doesn’t mean you’re not in perimenopause.

Perimenopause isn’t diagnosed by a blood test or specific hormone levels, it’s a clinical diagnosis based on symptoms and ruling out other potential causes.

The few exceptions where hormone testing may be helpful:

👉 if you haven’t had a period for more than 4 months before the age of 40, you need to tested and assessed for premature ovarian insufficiency.

👉 if you’ve had an ablation, IUD or hysterectomy so you don’t have a period and your symptoms aren’t making it clear if you’re in perimenopause but even then it’s not always helpful because levels fluctuate a lot in perimenopause.

🤯 Your brain isn’t broken.

It’s not early Alzheimer’s.

And you won’t feel like this forever…

But feeling like the brilliant, capable woman you know you can be through perimenopause and beyond requires you to fuel your brain for performance.

And that’s exactly what I’ll be teaching you on Oct 22nd during the free live webinar.

Women shouldn’t have to choose between work and managing menopause.

We have many safe and effective treatments for the symptoms of menopause and the fact that 1 in 10 women in Canada and the US are leaving work because of perimenopause and menopause tells me we still have so much work to do.

How was your menopause experience affected you at work?

This one might p**s people off but I can handle the heat.

Perimenopause absolutely needs to be ON THE LIST of possible reasons for a woman’s symptoms…

But it shouldn’t THE LIST.

Assuming that everything we experience after 35 is perimenoapsoe isn’t empowering women.

It’s tunnel vision that overly focuses on hormones and therefore presents HRT as THE solution to everything.

Don’t get me wrong. I love HRT. I take it. I prescribe it every day.

But not without a thorough exploration of other conditions that often occur around the same time as perimenopause or mimic many of its symptoms.

What are your thoughts?

Do you love the spotlight on perimenopause and hormones or feel like it’s become the scapegoat for everything??

What aren’t we telling our doctors?

According to new research from Blue Cross of Canada , many Millennial and Gen Z women are holding back when it comes to talking about certain health concerns with their healthcare providers.

Have you found yourself holding certain things back from your doctor?

Is it embarrassment?
Feeling rushed?
Worry that you won’t be taken seriously?
Not knowing how to bring it up?

Or maybe you’ve tried before and didn’t feel heard.

Because the things we don’t talk about can matter just as much as the things we do.

So let’s talk about it 👇

I know how easy it is to give all your best energy at work and then spend your evening exhausted.

Having more energy left after work is all about managing your energy inputs and outputs.

Here are 5 simple places to start.

I know my fellow high-achievers are going to struggle with #4 but it’s been a game changer for me for keeping my brain fresh after a long day.

Which one are you going to try tomorrow?

Women of all generations are holding back certain things from their doctor.

A study of 2000 Canadians by Blue Cross of Canada found that:

👉 Gen Z report fear of dismissal (30%) and fear of judgement (29%) as the main reasons they hold back during appointments

👉 Embarrassment or discomfort is the leading barrier (35%) for Boomer women

👉 25% of Gen X and Boomer women say limited appointment time prevents them from raising concerns with their doctor

Are there topics you would like to bring up if you had more time with your doctor?

If you’ve inherited Lipoprotein A (Lpa), which increases your risk of heart attack, stroke and atherosclerosis, here are some of the things you can do to lower your risk.

While we don’t have any treatments that can lower Lpa (yet), keeping your LDL cholesterol low can help reduce your overall risk.

Here’s how I’m supporting my heart health and cholesterol as someone with high Lpa.

And if you’ve never had your Lpa tested, ask your doctor for it at your next appointment.

Both the CCS SCC and the American Heart Association recommend everyone be tested once in their lifetime typically around age 40.
