My activities remained the same and I haven't reduced any activity levels or becoming more sedentary. I actually upped my workout routines but my weight keeps going up. I would like to hear information without assuming how our activities are like. I need scientific information. Sleep, exercise, yeah these are basics

The problem is doctors bring up weight with no other context. I lost 120lbs over 5 years and had a hysterectomy at 37. When I reported menopausal symptoms at 39, my doctor said it was just obesity and kicked me out of her office. I lost my sanity over the next year until a doctor finally gave me estrogen. And wow magically I got my life back. 😢

I have brought all my concerns to different doctors they just think we women are crazy. Crazy for all the symptoms we feel, 😳. We are suffering…..🆘

My mum and girlfriend’s mum were the same – they say it felt like they were hit by a hormonal truck. One thing that really seemed to help was standardized hot-water Tongkat Ali root extract. They were really surprised that it made a significant difference with symptoms like joint pain, hot-flashes, and extra weight gain. As they both still work full time, it’s been great for their energy levels and improving mood day to day too.
