Would you chug a glass of milk before a workout? 🥛 Then why are you still drinking whey? Whey = dairy. 🚫 And for women in perimenopause, that can mean bloating, acne, constipation, and a whole lot of gut drama. Now add in the fact that most whey comes from factory-farmed cows and is processed with synthetic fillers, sweeteners, and questionable sourcing? Yeah… hard pass. 🤢 Your body deserves better — especially during perimenopause, when digestion, hormones, and inflammation are already shifting. That’s why I created a different kind of protein — one made for us. If you’re looking for something cleaner, simpler, and actually aligned with what your body needs right now… You can check out Her Protein at wellena.com or via the link in our bio.

Heading back to the US & reflections.

Are you feeling symptoms that you think are related to thyroid health, estrogen dominance, and/or perimenopause, but you don’t know what to do about them? Here’s the thing: They are all connected, and understanding the links between them can be a game-changer when it comes to symptom management. That’s why I’m so excited about this episode of the Thyroid Pharmacist Healing Conversations podcast, where I spoke with my dear friend and colleague, Magdalena Wszelaki (@hormonebalance). What you’ll learn: -Estrogen dominance is extremely common and often underdiagnosed, contributing to symptoms like heavy periods, fibrocystic breasts, thyroid nodules, irritability, and an increased risk for estrogen-related cancers; it can occur even when estrogen levels are “normal” if progesterone is too low or estrogen isn’t properly metabolized. -The liver plays a critical role in hormone balance by detoxifying estrogen, and supporting liver function through bitters, broccoli sprouts, and sulforaphane can significantly improve hormone-related symptoms. -Dutch testing (urine hormone testing) is the gold standard for identifying estrogen dominance and poor estrogen metabolism, while conventional blood tests for hormones often miss imbalances, especially during perimenopause and menopause. -For low progesterone, herbal options like Vitex can be helpful early in perimenopause, but many women eventually need bioidentical progesterone (topical or oral) to properly restore balance, improve sleep, calm anxiety, and protect against estrogen excess. -Inflammation is a driver of hormone imbalances, Hashimoto’s, and estrogen dominance; addressing it through an anti-inflammatory diet, stress management, gut healing, and toxin reduction is essential before or alongside hormone therapies. Magdalena wants everyone to know that suffering is optional, and there are solutions.

Once you hit perimenopause, your body needs more protein. As estrogen drops, it gets harder to maintain muscle, keep your metabolism humming, and stay full between meals. That’s why protein becomes non-negotiable — but not all protein powders are created equal. Most? ❌ Hard to digest ❌ Incomplete ❌ Full of fillers ❌ Not made with your hormones in mind What actually matters in a daily protein powder: ✅ Complete amino acid profile ✅ Clean, minimal ingredients ✅ Free from whey, pea, synthetics, and junk ✅ Supports metabolism, strength, and hormone balance If you’ve been searching for something that checks those boxes — you can find Her Protein at wellena.com or via the link in our bio.

Do you know where your whey protein actually comes from? Because if the label doesn’t tell you… the answer probably isn’t great. ⚠️ Most whey proteins on the market are made from conventionally raised dairy — meaning cows that are confined, likely fed GMO grains, and often given hormones or antibiotics. It’s all hidden behind feel-good marketing images of green pastures and happy cows. The truth is: how your protein is sourced matters. When choosing a protein powder, look for: ✅ Transparent sourcing ✅ Grass-fed, grass-finished (if from animal protein) ✅ Free from fillers, flavorings, and hidden additives ✅ Clean enough to work with your body — not against it If you’re looking for a clean, ethically sourced option made for women in perimenopause, check out Her Protein at wellena.com or via the link in our bio.

We’ve been talking about Her Protein for a little while now… But this is the real reason I created it. As an endocrine nutritionist, I saw a huge gap in the market: There were no protein powders truly made for women in perimenopause — something clean, complete, easy to digest, and supportive of real hormonal needs. Whey? Dairy. Instant bloat. Pea protein? Incomplete, high in oxalates, and tastes like ground-up furniture. Collagen? Great for skin, but not enough to keep you full or fuel your muscles. I couldn’t find what I needed — so I made it. ✨ Her Protein is made from beef isolate (from grass-fed, grass-finished cows) — clean, neutral-tasting, and gentle on digestion. Plus, I added creatine and inositol for better metabolism, strength, and mental clarity. If you’re in perimenopause and tired of protein powders that leave you bloated, unsatisfied, or still craving — this one’s for you. Find Her Protein at wellena.com or at the link in our bio.

Protein is one of the most important things to get right in perimenopause — for cravings, energy, metabolism, and muscle strength. But trying to hit the “perfect” protein target every day? Exhausting. Overwhelming. And honestly… not always realistic. As an endocrine nutrition expert, I like to keep it simple: ✅ A high-quality protein meal at breakfast ✅ A clean protein smoothie for lunch That’s it. Covered. No overthinking. No macro math. Just real support for your body, your hormones, and your energy. ✨ Her Protein is the one I formulated for this exact reason — clean, digestible, non-bloating, and actually works for women in perimenopause.

Most women don’t realize this… Muscle is your metabolism’s best friend. 💪👯‍♀️ The more lean muscle you have, the more calories you burn—even at rest. But after 40? We lose up to 2% of muscle mass every year if we’re not actively supporting it. Less muscle = ⚡ Slower metabolism 💤 Lower energy 🍬 More cravings 💪 Weaker strength Want to stay strong, energized, and metabolically healthy in perimenopause? Focus on three things: 1️⃣ Resistance training 2️⃣ High-quality, complete protein 3️⃣ Balancing blood sugar levels Because when you keep your muscle… You keep your fire. 🔥

My unglamorous leftovers as breakfast; quick, easy, highly nutritious, high in protein, zero sugar. Have you figured out what kind of breakfast makes you feel your best?

There was a time you could eat three scoops of ice cream without thinking twice — and your body just handled it. 🍦 Now? In your 40s, the same indulgence hits differently: cravings, crashes, bloating, stubborn weight. It's not just getting older — it's perimenopause. When estrogen and progesterone drop, your body loses its natural ability to regulate blood sugar the way it used to. Suddenly, even normal meals (let alone sweets) can leave you feeling off. As estrogen and progesterone decline, your cells don't respond to insulin the way they used to. This means: 🔹 Sugar stays in your bloodstream longer 🔹 Cravings hit harder (even after eating) 🔹 Weight gain, especially around the belly, becomes easier 🔹 Mood and energy swings become the new normal Protein helps control hunger. Balanced blood sugar calms cravings, weight gain, and emotional rollercoasters. In perimenopause, you need both to feel truly stable, full, and strong again. Need help balancing your blood sugar levels? Try Gluco Maximus - full of herbs and nutrients with an affinity for helping to keep sugar levels balanced, cravings satiated, and weight off. Find it at the link in our bio.

Eating more protein is the first step to beating cravings and feeling full again in perimenopause. But here’s the real talk: Protein alone isn’t enough if your blood sugar is unstable. In perimenopause, hormones like estrogen and progesterone decline — making blood sugar regulation harder than it used to be. That’s why even with a protein-rich meal, you might still crash, crave sugar, or feel constantly hungry. To truly stabilize blood sugar (and get off the cravings rollercoaster), many women need extra support — and that’s where herbs and key nutrients come in. 🌿 Herbs like berberine, bitter melon, and cinnamon have been shown to help: ✅ Improve insulin sensitivity ✅ Lower glucose spikes after meals ✅ Reduce sudden cravings and crashes Protein anchors hunger. Blood sugar balance anchors your energy, cravings, and mood. Supporting both is how you feel steady, full, and in control again. 💪 Stay tuned — I'll be talking about healing your gut to support the root of your cravings this week...

Have insatiable cravings in perimenopause? 🤤 You can be eating all the right things — including getting enough protein — and still struggle with uncontrollable hunger, cravings, and energy crashes. Here’s why... 👇 In perimenopause, blood sugar regulation gets harder. Hormones like estrogen and progesterone (which help keep blood sugar stable) start to drop. The result? 🔹 More blood sugar spikes and crashes 🔹 More cravings 🔹 More stubborn belly fat and bloating Protein is your foundation — it's the first and most important step to anchor your blood sugar. But sometimes protein alone isn’t enough. Here’s what else helps: ✅ Add blood sugar-supportive herbs and nutrients ✅ Manage stress (high cortisol = higher blood sugar swings) ✅ Focus on gut health (yes, gut health affects blood sugar too) The more stable your blood sugar, the easier everything else becomes. 🎯
