I loved this episode. I so, SO appreciate your sharing this because I have had a similar relationship with supplements. In late perimenopause I also took a supplement that kicked my estrogen sky high and caused bleeding, health anxiety, and chaos. I don’t think less of you, and you’re certainly not an “idiot,” - this is a time when we are learning exactly what you express- when things go nuts in our body + stress, we’ll grab what we think will help and the wellness industry is always “there” to make suggestions. It’s so important in those moments to pause and consider if the solution is to take a supplement or simply relax, reflect, whatever.
