The 6 month HRT update!!

Well I am very tardy with this information of my HRT journey!! But let me tell you, it has saved my life. I had my first pellets placed in as my birthday present to myself on June 26th( my bday) now I am not sure if you remember, but my levels were all way low. As a woman our testosterone level sound be at 200 and mine was 2 ....what!!!! Yes, no sex drive, tired, anxiety brother the list goes on. Also my estrogen, progesterone and my thyroid were all just as low. I really had no idea how bad I felt until I started with HRT.

It took me about a week to Acclimate, I went from having almost nothing, to this surge of hormones coming back to normal. You have to remember , I haven’t had my period since 2014, so all the things like , bloating , sore breasts, and tired. All the normal PMS stuff was now showing up. I was like wait a minute this is not what I signed up for ...lol. I called the Denver Bio Health and they reassured me , again, that all that was normal but to let them know if I felt worse. It was literally a day after that phone call I woke up feeling like a million bucks!! I slept through the night with no night sweats, I had energy, I wanted sex (that is a little dangerous lol) I felt sexy again, No hot flashes, anxiety gone.  My body shifted physically, bloating was gone, My life was back. They literally saved my life .

I am about to go in for my third round on the 18th, normally the pellets last 3-4 months for some, I am one of the women that at 2 1/2 months my night sweats coming back are the first sign I need to make my appointment. I can tell you that I will never go without it. The beautiful thing about where I go is they are so attentive to each person individually. They are taking your blood work on the regular to make sure your levels are where they need to be. They check in on you to make sure you have all supplements. I have been singing there praises for the last 5 months and a couple of my girlfriends actually went and got their levels checked and they were low! (Their boyfriends can thank me later )

Taking the time for you, realizing that you don’t have to feel that way. There is something that can give you your life back!! Don’t wait like I did, they are saying that vitamin D they are treating like a hormone now and if it is low it can cause health issues. Ladies and men please don’t sit on it and feel awful, go in and get your blood work done at a place that actually just specializes in this. They are attentive to YOUR NEEDS, your levels and they are compounded just for you!

As always sweet friends , until next time and much love ️

The Awakening

June 26th, 2018. I turned 51, and made a choice. I made a choice to shift, shift me, how I feel and see things. My birthday gift to myself, having the pellets put in and start HRT at Denver Bio Health. I also did something else really big for me, I quit drinking. Now it is not like I drank every night, passing out kind of drinking, but when I would drink I just wanted to keep going. I enjoyed having a glass of wine in the evening, hanging out with friends. It seems like gatherings include that most of the time. They say everything in moderation right? Well sometimes how we are made, does not work that way.

I shared with you when I went in for my appointment to go over my blood work, well what I did not share was one of my liver enzyme numbers was 2 points above the normal. Sonia Mookherjea, the PA said not to be to concerned, she also shared with me what might cause this increase, and that we will watch it. I believe God nudges us, he gives us a heads up. That was my heads up, it was very concerning for me. Alcoholism runs in my family, my mom, grandpa and I am sure there were more. So that was my nudge to say, no more. Life is about moderation, for me alcohol is not one of them. I have to walk away from it, and you know what it feels great! It is that timing thing again, it is time. I have been sitting in when I think about it, what are the triggers that take me back to it. The decision to take this step was one of the best Birthday gifts I could have given myself.

Now for the second gift, I told you I would share the step by step of the HRT with you. I started progesterone and thyroid meds a couple days before I had the estrogen and testosterone pellets put in. I immediately started sleeping through the night because of the progesterone, it was amazing. I also started taken on my own Vitamin D, and will be receiving a prescription from her for that this week. Now when I say prescription I don't mean synthetic, everything is made just for me and where I am low in what category. All natural. You know Suzanne Somers has been talking about this for years, she has also written tons of books too. The pellets are the size of rice, and go in the fatty part of your bum. They numb your bum, make a slice about 1 1/2 inches and place them in. I did not feel a thing and it took about 5 minutes. I have waited a week to share this with you, just to see how I am feeling. I feel like my body is like WOW, what is happening here. It has been 4 years since I have had a period. That means that my all my levels have been low for a long time. The doctor said it will take a little bit for my body to get use to have the levels back to "normal" again.

"The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us, but those who win battles we know nothing about" I am choosing to share with you my story, because we all have the ability to rewrite it at anytime. Until next time, much love.

The Results!

I have never been so excited for a doctor appointment in my LIFE! As I drove to the appointment, I was asking myself, why it took me so long to finally do this? Yes, last week I said it was about timing, well it truly is. Have you ever gotten so frustrated with someone because they would not listen to you? Those who have kids will relate, right? One thing I have learned in this life, and being on this planet for 50 years, is all we need to do is love. We can only take care of us. Our journey is about how WE move through it.

 Hormone Therapy has been around since the 1930's. When the issues and side effects started to arise from synthetic hormones, doctors looked into alternatives, for that I am grateful. The team at the Natural Bio Health Clinic have been so thorough, and knowledgeable. I sat down with Sonia Mookherjea PA, to go over my blood work. It was so detailed, she explained every line, what every number meant. Getting into the levels and how being to low or high effects our whole body, mind and spirit. I had clarity and answers to everything I have been going through, so intensely over these past 4 years. They will make a pellet that is just for me and my needs of lack. You can also do creams, it is not as direct and takes a little longer to feel the change. I have chosen to do the pellets because I am ready to feel better. I go in next week to have them put in. There will be a follow up in 6 weeks for more blood work to see how it is all connecting with my body. I will share with you what it is like to have this done, and also my journey on how I am feeling.

I guess the biggest thing I am feeling right now is empowered. The time has finally come to get back to me. I am also, just now, really happy I made the decision to clean up the eating. I know a lot of you who have already been on this path can understand. As we know to be true, food is huge on this journey also. Remember, when someone comes to you sharing what they are going through, don't get frustrated if they do not make moves, just love them through their journey. You have to know, their timing will come, and they will remember that you loved them no matter what space they were in. Until next time, much love!

Well, it was finally time. You know I believe it is all about timing, seriously, everything. We may not see it, but it is. Trust me, start looking at things that way. When something does just not move or go as fast, or you get side tracked, that is because it is not the right timing.  My friend posted his testimony on social media, now for a guy to talk about his hormones,  lack of this and that, and to have results! What! OK, I am ready. When the student is ready, the teacher will come. So here I am in the waiting room, and might I add, no waiting was to be had. Love that. The Doctor was confident, relaxed and content. That may sound weird, but it is like I could feel, she was doing her passion.

We chatted for a bit, answered questions , shared what was going on with me. She knew exactly what I was going to share, because it is all the same. It is not anything new, but it is ignored, swept under the rug, excused. We try to ignore it, or better yet they try to give us a medication to mask it. Finally I got to a point that I could no longer feel this way. I was ready to feel like myself again. I wanted to get control of the night sweats, anxiety, slowed metabolism, very little sex drive, sleepless nights, hot flashes, mood swings, I could go on.

After she explained what the program was about at the Natural Bio Heath Clinic, I asked her what made you get into this? Her answer was exactly what I felt, she said," I have a passion for the natural way to health, finding preventative solutions to health in a natural way." BOOM! If we have passion, it will come to fruition. They drew my blood and I will go back in a week to have a something created just for me and my bodies needs now. The cool thing is they keep track of you, you are checked on the regular because our body changes, and so will the bio health.

Next time I check in will be after my blood work and I start the hormone pellets. I am going to share everything, I will be honest with you. I am also starting a program of food elimination to heal the gut in this journey, I will share that too. Taking care of you, it seems like we learn this later in life, but it is all about timing....right.
