“A little over a year ago I was at a breaking point. I was exhausted, like into my bones exhausted. I just felt blah. I had to “push through” most days. Drinking 3 Nespresso’s a day and still struggling. I chalked it up to being a mom of three year old twins and doing all the things. I tried all sorts of things to feel better, but still came up short. I also gained 15 pounds while following the same diet I had the year before (and the year before lost 40 pounds) I read a bunch and narrowed it down to my endocrine system, but that’s super complex and I needed help. After searching Google I came across the crew at TruGevity. They did an extensive blood panel (way more than my doctor ever did).
Turns out I had quite a few things out of whack. My testosterone was almost non existent (ladies, if you didn’t know, extended period of time with low testosterone can cause osteoporosis) my thyroid was in the “normal, but low range”, and my iron was suuuper low. All of that combined = feeling like shit.
So, I started bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, got on a natural thyroid medication (after trying supplements that didn’t give it the boost I needed), and started taking an iron supplement. I finally feel alive. I didn’t even realize how terrible I felt until I started feeling better. I swear to you, colors even seemed brighter. I can have fun with the twins without feeling like I’m just pushing through my days. I am so grateful for this team. If you feel like any of this resonates with you, give them a call and set up an appointment to get your bloodwork done. As women, we put ourselves on the back burner, or think that we “should” be tired considering what all we do in a day, but there is no reason to just accept that. We deserve to feel good!”
