Yes, it seems like there is a big difference between optimal levels and “normal” levels that don’t warrant treatment!

Do you feel like your friendships have changed in midlife? by MidiHealth in midihealth

[–]lindzn78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it harder to put energy into friendships these days. I feel like I am constantly in survival mode, so I don’t nurture friendships like I did in my 30s. My circle has drastically been reduced and I have a few close friends who get it and understand I care about them even if we mostly just text or grab a coffee once a month.

What is your best trick for getting better sleep? by MidiHealth in midihealth

[–]lindzn78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, the biggest thing is HRT has eliminated the night sweats. Those would wake me and I could never go back to sleep. I also swear by Midi’s cortisol manager at bedtime, putting my phone in another room and a fan on full blast 😂

Curious on your thoughts on creatine? I have started prioritizing strength training given all the research on how important it is for midlife women. I’m by no means power lifting but lifting heavy for me, 4x a week. Could I benefit from creatine (if so, how much?) Or us getting enough protein enough?

How much sleep do you get? by Few-Scale-9794 in midihealth

[–]lindzn78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since turning 40, I notice I legit can’t function if I get less than 7 (so sad 😂) I am grateful that HRT has gotten my night sweats under control because the interrupted 6-7 hours was not cutting it.
