The calendar flipped to 2026 and the internet shouted “new year, new you,” but quick fixes don’t quiet the fear that hits when your thoughts disappear at the doorway. I talk candidly about the moment brain fog felt less like a joke and more like a warning, and how I refused to accept a slow drift into mediocre health. Instead of vague advice, I walk through what actually changed my day-to-day: getting real labs, addressing iron deficiency, stabilizing mood with SLIND, and building a supplement stack that keeps me clear, steady, and present.
We get specific about what to prioritize in your 40s as hormones shift: protecting bone density with vitamin D and calcium, feeding your brain with omega-3s and B12, and using magnesium glycinate to support sleep, nerves, and—unexpectedly—reduce severe period pain linked to endometriosis. I share the backstory of nearly pursuing a hysterectomy, the surgical risks that gave me pause, and the surprising relief that came from consistent magnesium instead. If you’ve felt trapped between “just deal with it” and major interventions, this is the practical middle path.
We also dig into a topic that doesn’t get enough airtime: vaginal and urinary health during perimenopause. Hormonal shifts change pH and microbiome balance, raising the risk of UTIs and yeast infections. I break down how a targeted women’s probiotic and cranberry support can prevent recurring issues and protect quality of life. Throughout, the focus stays on what you can control—testing, evidence-backed choices, and a plan that matches your body rather than internet noise.
