Ok, so I'm 47. Yikes! I'm trying not to be stressed out about it, but almost 50 is a little daunting. But it's also not. Because I'm not having the crazy symptoms my mom had. Thank goodness.
I think many women my age feel pretty rotten: low energy, night sweats, terrible cycles, PMS. What do you do?
Many women over 30 are deficient in Progesterone, and are Estrogen dominant.

Here's a couple of things you can do to reduce your estrogen levels from the outside:
- Stop using hormonal birth control,
- Kick to the curb personal care products that have ingredients that mimic estrogen--Parabens, Phthalates, and Benzophenones
- Start buying organic foods where possible (who knew glyphosate was a hormone distruptor?)
- Filter your water of xenoestrogens. Here's my favorite water filtration system.
Reducing your toxic load is vital to good health. I'm super careful about the products I use on my skin, in my house and the things I put in my mouth.
And I found this awesome superwoman serum that keeps away the night sweats, helps me sleep, and regulates my cycles (hint: it's got natural progesterone in it!).
