👎 NOT Sugary drinks are responsible for an estimated 340,000 deaths globally each year due to Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, shows a new study. While it’s already well-known that sodas, energy drinks, and juices aren’t great for our health, this research underscores the serious risks they pose. 

Reducing your sugar intake is especially crucial during menopause, when the risk of heart disease increases. Midi clinicians can support you in making this healthy change—and so many more—with a personalized Care Plan.

Although what you eat won’t eliminate hot flashes, did you know that your diet may help decrease their frequency and severity? Over the years, there’s been some promising research about foods that could fight hot flashes.

People who eat fruit tend to eat more fiber and less unhealthy fats, which may support hormonal health.

My symptoms included chronic fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and insomnia. I would wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning—and then be exhausted the entire next day. That fatigue meant I craved carbs and sugar and didn't have the energy to exercise or cook.

When I brought these symptoms up with my doctors they all told me the same thing: “Welcome to middle age. You'll just have to live with it.” Then I found Midi.

My Midi clinician showed genuine care and concern, shared her knowledge in simple terms I could understand, and found a solution to my problems: bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. It’s allowed me to sleep through the night. Now I have the energy to exercise and cook and I feel good about myself. It has been a game changer!
