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

This is why I think every woman who's going through menopause should do a test like this.

Hopefully you have an OBGYN that can read this test.

And then what you do is you do the prescription based on these levels because you have a 24-hour urine test.

So the next thing we're gonna do is talk about exactly what hormones she's on because Sage not only had the mood, the emotional, the poor waking cycle, just absolutely felt like she couldn't get out of first gear and some nights she was getting good sleep but not getting good rest.

and this is because the hormone cycle is so off.

So in addition to that, when you go in and you replace these hormones, you don't just replace the hormones, you replace the precursors like pregnenolone.

It's better to do your testosterone in the morning and do your estrogen in the evening.

That's more in tune with your circadian cycle.

So usually you will split your hormone doses into two types, and I'm gonna show you exactly the doses that she's on.

To add insult to injury, there is a correlation between frozen shoulder, what's called adhesive capsulitis, and menopause.

So as she plummeted into menopause, she actually got frozen shoulder, she got adhesive capsulitis, and she couldn't raise her, ooh,

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

That was good.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

She couldn't raise her arm above about right here.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

A few weeks after she was on hormone therapy, she could raise her hand all the way above her shoulder and point straight at the ceiling.

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

Her mood improved.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

Her emotional state improved.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

Her sleep improved.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

Her brain fog went away.

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

All of these things are perfectly normal.

Don't think you're crazy.
