🌟 Top 3 Hormones Every Woman Over 50 Should Understand to Feel Energized Again

I add a collagen protein in my coffee! Starts my day with 17 grams of protein!

Because you deserve to feel like you again. Clear, calm, and full of life.

Aging isn’t about fading into the background. For women over 50, it’s about stepping into your power, owning your wisdom, and reconnecting with your body in a whole new way.

If you’ve been feeling a little off: tired, foggy, emotional, or just not quite yourself. Your hormones might be whispering (or shouting!) for attention.

Let’s shine a light on the three key hormones women over 50 should understand and what you can do to bring them back into balance. 💖

1. 🌸 Estrogen: The Queen Bee

Estrogen is a multitasking powerhouse. Supporting everything from your bones and brain to skin, heart, and moods. As estrogen declines during perimenopause and menopause, women over 50 may experience:

• Hot flashes and night sweats

• Vaginal dryness

• Mood swings and brain fog

• Weight gain, especially around the middle

👑 Course Correction Tip:

Support your body with phytoestrogens like flaxseeds, lentils, and berries. Personally, I skip soy milk but love lentils and berries as gentle estrogen supporters. Also, talk to your doctor about hormone therapy if your symptoms are impacting your life. It made a huge difference for me after dealing with an ovarian cyst.

🚫 Myth Buster:

No, hormone therapy doesn't automatically mean cancer risk. Today’s research supports its safety for many women over 50. Ask your provider what’s right for your body.

2. 🌿 Progesterone: The Calming Companion

Progesterone is like your internal peacekeeper. It balances estrogen and supports calm moods and restful sleep. When it drops, women over 50 might feel:

• Anxious or edgy

• Easily irritated

• Restless at night

🧘‍♀️ Course Correction Tip:

Try creating a bedtime ritual. Dim the lights, unplug from screens, and enjoy magnesium-rich foods like leafy greens and pumpkin seeds. Magnesium helps quiet the mind. My personal go-to.

3. ⚖️ Insulin: The Silent Shaper

Insulin is your blood sugar regulator, but as women over 50 experience hormonal shifts, insulin sensitivity can drop. That often means:

• Cravings and energy crashes

• Mood swings

• Belly fat that’s tough to lose

✨ Course Correction Tip:

Balance insulin with meals high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats especially in the morning. I now aim for 100g of protein a day, and I believe it’s made a huge difference in my energy and cravings.

💬 Final Thought:

You don’t have to accept hormonal chaos as your new normal.

You’re not crazy. You’re not broken.

You’re simply a woman over 50 in a new chapter and you deserve to feel amazing in your own skin.

Aging is inevitable. Feeling vibrant is optional but absolutely possible.
