Your Guide to Better Health

Testosterone isn’t just a male hormone—women need it too. This evidence-based guide explains how testosterone therapy may help menopausal women with low libido, what the research shows about safety, and who should (or shouldn’t) consider treatment.

Perimenopause itchy skin is usually caused by declining estrogen, which reduces collagen, oils, and skin hydration. Relief includes fragrance-free ceramide moisturizers, lukewarm showers, omega-3 intake, and—when appropriate—topical or systemic hormone therapy. Persistent or severe itching should be medically evaluated to rule out thyroid, liver, or metabolic conditions.

Menopause fatigue is common—but not something you have to live with. This evidence-based guide explains why hormone changes, sleep disruption, mood shifts, and medical conditions can drain your energy, plus the most effective lifestyle, medical, and hormone treatments to help you feel like yourself again.

Creatine monohydrate may help women in perimenopause and menopause preserve muscle, support strength training, and improve cellular energy in muscle and brain. Most research supports a safe daily dose of 3–5 grams in healthy adults, especially when combined with resistance training and adequate protein intake.

Menopause bloating isn’t just weight gain—it’s often driven by hormones, digestion, and inflammation. Learn the expert-backed ways to reduce swelling, calm your gut, and feel comfortable again in midlife.

What you eat on Ozempic or other GLP-1 medications matters as much as the medication itself. Prioritizing protein, fiber, healthy fats, hydration, and age-specific nutrients helps prevent muscle loss, fatigue, and hormonal imbalance while supporting safe, sustainable weight loss in your 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s+.

The female body remains adaptable, resilient, and capable of growth—even in midlife. With the right strategy and medical guidance, strength can become your most powerful health investment.

A medically grounded guide explaining whether hormone replacement therapy supports weight loss, reduces visceral fat, improves metabolism, and how to combine HRT with lifestyle or GLP-1 care for midlife health.

An evidence-based guide to the best probiotics for women, including strains for gut health, vaginal balance, hormone metabolism, mood, and metabolism—plus safety tips and how to choose the right supplement.

Sermorelin is a prescription peptide that stimulates the pituitary gland to release natural growth hormone. In women—particularly during midlife—it may support sleep, energy, fat metabolism, skin health, cognition, and recovery when used under medical supervision.

The lowest effective progesterone dose for HRT is often 100 mg oral micronized progesterone nightly, though safe dosing varies by estrogen use, delivery method, and uterine protection needs. Learn the evidence, risks of underdosing, and how personalized care determines the right dose.

Short-term weight changes are usually temporary shifts in fluid, hormones, or digestive contents rather than true fat gain. Sustained upward trends over weeks are more reliable indicators of metabolic or lifestyle-related fat accumulation.

Hormonal disorders affect millions of women worldwide—often silently. This 2026 evidence-based guide reveals the latest global statistics on PCOS, thyroid disease, infertility, menopause, and metabolic health, explaining what these trends mean for prevention, screening, and lifelong wellbeing.

GLP-1 medications support weight loss, but lasting success requires nutrition, strength training, sleep, and behavior change. Learn the evidence-based strategy for sustainable metabolic health.

What truly helps people live longer? This evidence-based guide explains the daily habits proven to extend lifespan, protect metabolic health, and increase years lived in good health—without hype, trends, or unproven supplements.

Digestive enzymes may reduce bloating and gas in lactose intolerance or pancreatic insufficiency but show limited benefit for general bloating. Evidence-based diagnosis and diet changes are often more effective than supplements alone.
