The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Cortisol rises in the morning, melatonin falls.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Look at her melatonin off the charts.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

So no cortisol, no waking hormone, plethora in excess of melatonin.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

So it's no wonder she feels like a lead balloon or she used to feel like a lead balloon getting out of bed in the morning.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

This is not them being lazy.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

This is not them not being motivated.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

They literally do not have the hormones to accomplish a normal day.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

They wake up more exhausted than they went to bed.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

And it is hard to even get out of bed and find motivation because the motivation is gone because the mood and emotion is off.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

And the ability to actually just get up and conduct your day is even harder because you are literally being drugged by your own body.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Your melatonin is through the roof.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

I mean, this is off the charts, right?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

This actually cannot register any more waking melatonin.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

So it's like taking your sleep medication in the morning and taking your Adderall right before bed, right?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

So take an amphetamine, try to sleep, and then by the time you fall asleep, you wake up in the morning, take sleep medication.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

That's kind of how it feels.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Your body is drugging you because the hormonal cycle is so off.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

The DHEA production is also in the postmenopausal range.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

So this is what you'll see on this Dutch test.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

This is why I love this test.
