Were you surprised by that?

I have a thousand patients who will testify right now.

100%.

We're not asking the right questions if science isn't recognizing how progesterone is helpful for some patients for sleep.

This episode of Unpaused is brought to you by Alloy Health.

We talk a lot about hormones affecting mood and energy, but they also play a major role in your skin.

Collagen, hydration, elasticity.

And in midlife, when hormone levels start to shift, your skin changes too.

I first heard about Alloy through a close friend who is a dermatologist.

She shared how few products truly address hormonal skin changes.

Once I understood that Alloy's approach is rooted in hormone science and physiology, I decided to try it myself.

It changed the way I think about how skincare is at this stage of life.

Alloy's M4 line includes the M4 Face Cream, M4 Face Serum, and M4 Eye Cream.

These are prescription strength formulas made with Estriol, the gold standard hormone your body stops producing naturally, and they are backed by clinical research.

Women are seeking smoother looking skin, improved firmness, and a brighter, more even tone.

If your skin is changing, your skincare should change too.

With Alloy, you consult with a doctor and receive expert guidance and have your treatment delivered right to your door.
