“Over the hill” is the old joke when you turn 40.  But don’t take health advice from party store decorations – the fact is, you’re still young!  Sure, our bodies may feel like they are beginning to slow down, but that’s because hormone production naturally begins to taper off in our middle years, affecting everything from energy levels, to mood, to how your body responds to diet and exercise.  

It’s not uncommon for women to experience menopause in their mid to late 40’s with fatigue, mood changes, loss of sleep and weight gain/slowed metabolism being among the most often reported symptoms.  Though the decline in hormone production is much more gradual in men, lowered sex drive, irritability and decreased results from diet and exercise can affect them just as much in their 40’s.  

If you’re not feeling like yourself, book a consultation to find out what treatment options will benefit you.  We start with hormone levels as a target, but our approach is to treat the person, not the number.  Rather than just getting your hormone levels up to a standard “acceptable” range, we work with you to get a complete picture of your health.  Once your wellness plan has been developed, we regularly check in with you to make sure you’re feeling your best and getting the results you want.

There’s no “over the hill”, no point of no return – with proper treatment, you can feel better and look younger at any age!
