52 Weeks of The Well Drop 💧
This year, we hit a big milestone together: 52 weeks of The Well Drop Newsletter.
Every open, reply, and forward told me one thing: Women are done guessing, they want clarity, context, and tools that actually work in midlife. So I wanted to reshare the most engaged newsletter of 2025, the one you loved the most.
Your Favorite Story of the Year:
The Episode With My Son 💙
This summer, my son, who was diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2019, agreed to record a podcast episode with me. I thought we were documenting his story but what happened was much bigger than that. Hearing him talk about:
how he faces hard days,
how he reframes challenges,
how he chooses his mindset…
I realized his outlook isn’t just inspiring for kids, it’s a masterclass for all of us. Because whether you’re navigating illness, hormones, burnout, weight changes, or family stress, we all have one powerful tool: Our mindset. It’s free. It’s real. And it’s available even when everything else feels out of control.

Right behind that episode were two big themes:
🥈 #2 — My Hormone Journey We broke down testing, symptoms, and how to advocate for what you need and your replies told me how overdue these conversations are.
🥉 #3 — Magnesium Magic Sleep, stress, nervous system regulation… this one hit home. You loved understanding why magnesium matters and how to use it as a baseline tool, not a band-aid.
Expect more deep dives like these in 2026 for wellness essentials made for real life.

My Midlife Wellness Upgrade: What I’ve Learned (and Lived)
✨ Adaptogens (Started at 35) Balances hormones, calms stress, and boosts dopamine for patience and a more balanced nervous system.
🧪 Dutch Test + Stool Testing (Started at 36) After my second child, something felt off. I dug deeper and found nutritional deficiencies, gut issues, and hormonal imbalances most doctors don’t check (even a gastroenterologist never once looked for my son too). Data changed the game. I was able to focus on what truly needed to be worked on.
Frequent mommy brain moments (constant episode of a lost phone at home)
Estrogen belly pooch out of nowhere
I threw on a CGM and saw my old "safe" foods were now spiking me. I created a quarterly check-in system to track my body in real time. I discovered how to get into fat burning mode & shifted back into place with new food pairing habits.
🏋️♀️ Weight Training (1x/wk at 35, 2x/wk at 43, 3x/wk at 44) I wish I started sooner but I was always nervous to bulk up. Once I found a study showing our bodies age in buckets — especially at 44 and 60, muscle became my non-negotiable. Why? Because more muscle = better blood sugar regulation = more vitality.
💊 Hormone Support (Started at 45) Dismissed at my annual for not having symptoms like hot flashes or night sweats. My mental clarity was slipping. My hair was falling out. Doctors shrugged it off and said manage my stress better and I didn't need hormones yet.
But my Dutch Test and my intuition said otherwise. I knew this was an outdated view due to a lack of training in a broken system for women. I wanted to support my body before I officially hit a wall. So I found a longevity doctor who formulated vaginal estrogen + progesterone — more absorption with less fuss.
And I said YES. Mark your calendar on January 5th to learn when its a good time to consider HRT.
