Quotes
- “Blood sugar fluctuations are a huge reason why hot flashes and night sweats kind of come back.”
- "I think of alcohol as a special occasion thing... The metabolites of the alcohol can wake us up and can certainly precipitate hot flashes and night sweats."
- “If someone starts you on hormones, they need to check your estrogen and progesterone levels, and they also need to check your thyroid levels.”
