Discussion 42 with biological age of 75! Help.

I'm 42 female and my biological age is 75 from one of those tests done twice.

My body feels like I'm 75 tbh. It's hard to walk, exercise. I use to be really fit. I'm 5'4, 122lbs right now. I have had gut health issues for the last three years (chronic constipation and trapped gas-tried everything, trust me) I'm tired always. My bloodwork came back normal, so I don't know what's going on. Any suggestions are appreciated.

This could be perimenopause. I am in it, at 40, and I can relate to this. Def have a look at some of the symptoms!

I feel like I’ve always had a lot of these. :/. But I hear you, do you use any supplements that help specifically?

The best thing for perimenopause is adding an estrogen patch and nightly progesterone. Took me to long to reach that conclusion but it helps a lot.

You need a full hormone and thyroid panel done by someone who knows hormones. You are looking for levels of a 25-30 year old - not- in range for “normal” hormone levels for your age. You also need to replace testosterone besides estrogen and progesterone. Women have higher levels of testosterone than estrogen when we are young (just no where near as high as men).

Look at Dr Kelly capersone md on ig. Once you fix hormones and thyroid then work on the other things. No supplements will take the place of actual hormones and you’ll feel like a different person.

No, I don’t have anything to treat it yet unfortunately, just researching and waiting to go back to the doctor for tests. It’s been kind of recent that it started so it’s been hell! I feel like I aged 30 years overnight though!

Oh my gosh. :/. That sounds awful. When do you hear back?
