Dealing with allergies can be frustrating, especially when it prevents you from taking HRT, which is supposed to help. At 45, having grey hair and hair in poor condition can also dampen one’s spirits. If this sounds familiar, I’m here to offer some advice and solutions to these problems. Let’s start with tackling the insomnia and vaginal dryness.
To address insomnia, it’s essential to establish a consistent sleep routine. Aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. If you find it difficult to fall asleep, try engaging in calming activities before bedtime such as yoga, meditation, or taking a relaxing bath. Avoid stimulating activities, intense exercise, or engaging in stressful conversations in the evening. Additionally, your daytime activities can also contribute to better sleep. Engage in physical and mental challenges during the day, but be mindful of your intake of stimulants like caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and sugar.
Exposure to natural light in the morning and evening can help regulate your circadian rhythm and improve your sleep quality. Limit your caffeine consumption to a maximum of three cups per day, with the last one before 1pm. Avoid alcohol, nicotine, and sugar close to bedtime, and aim to finish eating about four hours before sleep. Lastly, optimize your sleep environment with the right temperature, blackout blinds, and consider using noise-reducing earbuds or a white noise machine.
Moving on to vaginal dryness, there are simple solutions available. Over-the-counter remedies like Relactagel, containing lactic acid, can help restore the natural pH balance of the vagina. You can also consult your doctor for topical vaginal estrogen cream, which can be used for long-term maintenance of vaginal health without the side effects of HRT. This cream delivers estrogen directly to the vagina and is equivalent to the absorption rate of one HRT oral tablet.
Finally, addressing the issue of poor hair quality and the need for frequent hair dyeing. Start by considering the water quality in your home, especially if you have hard water. Installing a water softener or using a showerhead that softens the water can make a difference. You can also try the K18 peptide range, which is formulated to improve hair thickness and strength. The pH Maintenance shampoo helps balance the pH of your hair, while the Detox shampoo cleanses it. For additional care, use the K18 leave-in cream mask or oil. These products will help maintain your hair color for longer.
Remember, I’m here to provide guidance and support. If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to consult with your doctor. We’re here to help you live your best life.
