Key Messages: 1. testosterone does NOT become chaotic at any point in our life span. 2. Checking levels is NOT diagnostic - we order bloodwork for other reasons around safety and adjustment of other interacting medications. 3. Our current body of knowledge is in postmenopausal women. More to come on understanding the role for testosterone therapy in the midlife and beyond.

Three providers.
Four years.
All of my rage over how we get treated, I’ve channeled into improving our care and improving my own health. Thank you to all of my cheerleaders- patients and providers. The journey continues.

Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, and Purpose are all a part of the assessments and care provided because of the critical role they play in our health. You do not have to suffer. As I discovered, a whole world opportunity awaits to feel and function better

πŸ’ͺ🏽 Feeling and functioning our best.

πŸŒ… Preventing and delaying the onset of chronic disease.

πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸ« Assessing midlife what is on the horizon and taking advantage of lifestyle modifications with pharmaceutical agents as an adjunct, not the only intervention.

πŸ““ Educating and guiding our patients to be knowledgeable, empowered individuals in their health.

😁 This is our philosophy.

I’ve recently heard from two patients that they were told they can’t start MHT until their periods are done - NOT ACCURATE AND can cause needless suffering. Advocate for yourself and others. Ask for a referral to a trained provider.

Why have I spent so much time on sleep education? Because it helps with everything from mood disruption to libido to pain to heart and brain health. It also helps with weight management. Optimizing sleep is effective all on its own but it also helps every medication and intervention work better. Do NOT overlook this part of your life. In fact CLOSELY look at this part of your life. Your mind body and soul will thank you.

πŸ“‘ Our body communicates with us BUT we do so many things to interfere with this important signalling.

πŸ“± By no one's fault, our evening and sleep lives have changed negatively which is contributing to chronic disease progression and bothersome symptoms.

πŸ“΅Work on resisting common practices that interfere with Sleep Pressure so you can receive your body's cry for recovery, rehabilitation, and brain cleansing.

⏰ Your wake time (natural or obligated) is a good anchor from which you can back up 7-9 hours to determine your ideal bedtime to optimize sleep duration.

πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Remember it is very difficult to change our internal alarm clock's wake time and most of us cannot change our work start time, which is why this is a good anchor.

πŸ—“οΈ Consistency and Duration are the two most important factors in optimizing sleep so just focusing on these two will be a great start to improving your overall health and quality of life.

Personal Tidbit: It took me about 3 years to get this down and of course life and sometimes really fun events preclude it but I'm just more selective about such outings.

πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ Since brain fog can interfere with our ability to retain verbally acquired information, I have put together a visual summary of highlights from the Sleep Series.

πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Remember: sleep has a profound impact on our quality of life and health so being informed is really important, especially since our sleep lives have changed SO much in the last 30 years.

⏰ Most of us require 7-9 hours to repeatedly cycle through the four sleep phases, each of which serve their own important functions. Every minute counts so aim for this amount of sleep time consistently.
