peri rock bottom to feeling like myself at 48

one year ago: sleep 4 hrs a night, 12 lbs up, anxious, foggy, crying at dog food commercials. today: sleeping 7 hrs, mood stable, back to lifting, cognitively sharp. what actually moved the needle: - HRT (biggest lever by far) - strength training 3x/wk - protein 100g/day - cut alcohol to once a week max - therapist if you're in the tunnel: there is another side. advocate for yourself with your doctors. find one who takes peri seriously.
