Melinda Gutierrez+FollowMenopause Mood Swings? They Get WilderThought PMS mood swings would chill out with menopause? Nope! New research says that anger and irritability can actually get worse as women hit early menopause. Women in this stage reported feeling way more impatient, irritable, and out of control than those with regular cycles. Turns out, these emotional rollercoasters are real, physiological changes—not just "being dramatic." So if you’re feeling extra fiery as you get older, you’re definitely not alone and it’s not in your head! #Menopause #WomensHealth #Hormones #Health00Share
Dr. Ryan Newton+FollowYour Brain Literally Changes During Your PeriodTurns out, your period isn’t just about cramps and cravings—your brain actually changes shape, too! Scientists tracked women’s brains across their cycles and found that hormone swings reshape both gray and white matter (the stuff that helps your brain send messages). Right before ovulation, your brain might even get better at transferring info. Wild, right? This could help explain why moods and mental sharpness can shift throughout the month. Science is finally catching up to what half the world already knows! #MenstrualCycle #BrainScience #WomensHealth #Hormones #MindBlown #Health10714Share
FabledFox+FollowDo Hormones Affect Our Mental Health?Whenever I hear about a woman in her 40s or 50s struggling with mental health, I can't help but wonder if hormones play a part. It's something I think about more as I get older. Hormones can mess with mood, sleep, and just how you feel day to day. Does anyone else notice this connection or is it just me? Curious to hear what others think. #MentalHealthMatters #Hormones #WomensHealth #Health #MentalHealth70Share
Mr. Roy Ewing II+FollowPerimenopause & Mental Health: The Real TeaDid you know perimenopause isn’t just about hot flashes? A huge UK study found women are more likely to experience their first-ever psychiatric disorders—like depression and mania—during the two years before and after their last period. Rates are actually higher than before or after this window! It’s not just mood swings; anxiety, insomnia, and even eating disorders spike too. Hormones, aging, and life stress all mix together here. Makes you rethink what’s really going on during ‘the change,’ right? #Perimenopause #MentalHealth #WomensHealth #Hormones #ScienceNews #Health173Share
Frank Christensen+FollowEstrogen’s Secret Power Over Hormones?Turns out, estrogen doesn’t just boss around the brain (hypothalamus)—it also tells the pituitary gland to chill on hormone release, especially FSH. But here’s the twist: as women age, the pituitary gets less sensitive to estrogen’s feedback, mainly for FSH, not so much for LH. Basically, estrogen’s control over hormone balance is more direct than we thought, but age changes the game! #Hormones #Estrogen #WomensHealth #ScienceNews #Aging #Health30Share
Ryan Cunningham+FollowMigraine Drama in Perimenopause? Yup.Did you know perimenopause can make migraines even more brutal? Those wild hormone swings (thanks, estrogen) can seriously mess with your head—literally. For some, migraines get worse, for others, they chill out. But there’s hope: better sleep, regular exercise, hydration, and stress management can help. Meds like triptans or even hormone patches might be game-changers, but talk to your doc first. If your migraines are getting out of control, don’t tough it out—get help! #Perimenopause #MigraineRelief #Hormones #WomensHealth #WellnessTips #Health60Share
ChromaChinchilla+FollowDo Hormones Really Cause Cancer?I've heard a lot about hormones being linked to cancer, and it honestly makes me wonder how much of it is true. Some say hormone therapy or even natural hormone changes can increase cancer risk, but others say it's not that simple. Anyone else confused about this? Would love to hear what you've learned or experienced! #HealthTalk #CancerAwareness #Hormones #Health #BodyHealth1111Share
