Most of us have been there; sometimes, we don’t realize how bad we feel until we feel good again.
The years have passed, and bam! I am 33 and didn’t recognize who I was anymore. I am a mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt and employee. That is who I am. So many things had changed in the last few years. I decided it was time to figure out who this new me was.
For the past two years, I have been coasting through life. I felt okay but I was overweight, and I felt stuck. So, I made some changes. To sum up the journey, I have currently lost a total of 53 pounds. The lifestyle changes and this journey were to find a better version of myself. I am still on my way, but I have found my path.
I started Biote , which is bioidentical hormone therapy. I have been on Biote for about nine months, and this was the kick-start I needed. We have all been at a point where we feel like we are floating in limbo. That was me. I am not the person I was ten years ago, and I didn’t know who I wanted to become in my thirties. I found myself asking questions about wearing outfits that I might be too old for, after all I go by “Mom” now. As I said, LIMBO. Okay. Enough with the old.
I am a mom now, and sometimes it is okay to ask yourself if you are too old to wear an outfit, but that’s not the only thing about me I questioned. Biote pushed me over the edge to climb up the ladder. My ladder has been steep on certain days, but I can’t stop climbing it.
The first Biote round set in motion the changes that I will hopefully get to experience for the rest of my life. I have energy and fewer mood swings and am now a sexual being again. The energy makes me feel like a contributing member of society, not like I am walking through the sets of everyday life in a monotone manner. I feel alive, and I have the hype you feel after working out at the gym. I have the energy to be a mom, wife, and all I dream of being. The new mood stability has allowed me to keep a productive mind and a good headspace consistently. The libido boost showed me that I still “got it” in the bedroom and could once again enjoy an actual sex life with my husband. My husband has no complaints about my Biote treatments (it’s okay to laugh).
If I could experience these feelings every day, I don’t know why I would ever return. I have chosen to invest in myself because I can’t be a great mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt or employee without Biote enhancing my best self. I am not okay with settling for being a reduced version of myself, and this therapy helped me find my way back.
