@drfrancescaleblanc: Most moms don’t realize this, but... ... the way you eat, move, and light your body today decides how your brain, mood, metabolism, and hormones function tomorrow And in perimenopause? That lag shows up faster than ever! 💣 Perimenopause isn’t just about: ESTROGEN It’s about cellular energy and the real MVP behind that? Your mitochondria These little powerhouses do way more than make ATP (energy); They also help regulate: 🧠 Brain fog 😵‍💫 Mood swings 🔥 Inflammation 😴 Sleep ⚖️ Hormone balance And guess what depletes them faster than anything? 🧁 Dysregulated blood sugar 📱 Artificial light at night 🥵 Chronic stress 🍷 Alcohol 📉 Low protein diets ✅ Research shows mitochondrial dysfunction is a key driver in estrogen imbalance, anxiety, and fatigue in perimenopausal women (PMID: 34282674) ✅ Supporting mitochondrial health improves insulin sensitivity, reduces hot flashes, and protects cognitive function (PMID: 33200245, 28582654) My go-to protocol includes: • Sunlight BEFORE screens • High-protein breakfast (30-40g) • Targeted nutrients: Omega-3’s, Magnesium, CoQ10, PQQ and Vitamin D3/K2 • Reverse fasting (skip dinner twice/week) • 30 minutes of Red light therapy once/day 🫶🏼 Like & Share this with a mom friend 💜 Follow for daily hormone health strategies after age thirty because I’m in Perimenopause too and we’re in this together And, hey, thanks for being here!
