I had just turned 40 when it started. Suddenly, the ads on my social-media feeds changed. The algorithms decided I was now officially middle-aged and crumbling – by their metrics – and it was time for me to start buying hormone-supporting supplement blends, collagen powder, bum-sculpting leggings and anti- wrinkle creams.
In truth, the hormone supplements piqued my interest. I was sleeping badly, more anxious than ever, and low on energy after IVF and two pregnancies.
But could one product give me better sleep, focus, energy, clarity and libido, while ending bloating, weight gain, anxiety, mood swings, erratic menstrual cycles, heavy periods, muscle pain, headaches and indigestion, and lower my cholesterol, cortisol and blood sugar – all in a capsule or scoop of powder?
