Hey there! Can we talk honestly about something that’s probably got you feeling like you’re on an emotional carnival ride some days? Yeah, I’m talking about HORMONES.
Oh my goodness, the changes our bodies undergo in these middle years can feel overwhelming! One minute, you’re cool as a cucumber in that important meeting, and the next… hello, hot flash (why do they always know exactly when to show up?). And don’t even get me started about those nights when sleep decides to play hide and seek!
Some things that might be happening right now:
- Your favorite jeans feel more snug (yeah, me too!)
- Mood swings that have you laughing one minute and teary the next
- Those notorious hot flashes show up at the worst times
- Sleep patterns that just aren’t what they used to be
Do you know what helps me when I feel overwhelmed by all these changes? Remembering that verse, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). Even when our bodies feel like they’re going rogue, there’s purpose in this season.
Adding essential oils and natural supplements to your routine can significantly support you in this journey. Clary Sage, Progessence Plus, Endo-Gize, and Lavender are just a few. Thyroid support from Thyromin and Vitamin D are supplements we discuss for support.
Here’s what’s been helping me navigate this journey:
- Talking openly with my healthcare provider about what’s normal
- Learning about natural remedies that might help
- Giving myself grace on the tough days
- Understanding that this is a season of transition
Next week, I’ll share something super connected to these hormonal changes—our heart health! Let me tell you, these two things are more related than you might think. Our amazing hearts need some extra TLC this season, and I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned about taking care of our tickers!
Until then, remember – you’re not alone on this journey. God’s grace is here for us every single day, even on those days when our hormones seem to have a mind of their own!
See you next time,
Nancy
