In their words
“Before considering bioidentical hormones, let’s optimize the foundations: Stable blood sugar (hello, insulin sensitivity)”
a licensed practitioner
Stable blood sugar and insulin sensitivity are foundational to managing symptoms often attributed to hormones during perimenopause and menopause
Maintaining healthy blood sugar signals to the body that it is safe and not starving, which helps reduce anxiety.
Post-prandial blood glucose provides a much better realistic view of your insulin sensitivity than fasting blood glucose.
Estrogen decline affects blood sugar balance and other hormones, so monitoring these markers is important.
Balancing blood sugar levels helps reduce stress which supports thyroid health.
With care
Some of the minds attach conditions. These are worth reading before you begin.
Restricting sugar may help but ignoring other contributors may not address the primary problem.
