After receiving my saliva hormone test results (and yes — they were eye-opening! ), I didn’t want to just sit and wait. I’m doing what I can to support my body now — while preparing for my follow-up appointment with my provider in the next few days.

Here’s What I’ve Started (with guidance from my research & training):

✔️ DIM – to support healthy estrogen metabolism and reduce estrogen dominance symptoms
✔️ DHEA 5 mg – a gentle dose to support adrenal and androgen function while waiting on my provider’s approval for compounded hormone therapy
✔️ Vitamin D + K – I’m combining them to support bone health and immune balance after my blood test showed low vitamin D

I’m still not starting any compounded hormone until my provider reviews my results and sends a prescription — because as a pharmacist, I know the importance of doing this the right way.

What I’m Studying Now: “The Mood Cure” by Julia Ross

I’ve dived deep into the section on amino acids — and wow, what a game changer.

Did you know?

• 5-HTP supports serotonin and helps with low mood, sleep issues, and sugar cravings

• Tyrosine helps improve energy and mental focus (especially when dopamine is low)

• GABA supports calm and reduces overstimulation — which has been life-saving for those wired-tired days

I’m learning how brain chemistry, hormones, and nutrition all work together — and how amino acid therapy can help many women long before (or alongside) hormone therapy.

 My next step is reviewing my results with my provider, and once I get the go-ahead, I’ll start my custom compounded hormone support made right here at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy (with a valid Rx, of course!).

Stay tuned… I’ll share my plan and progress every step of the way.

Until tomorrow,
