Shelley Malcolm Overcame Menopausal Fatigue and Hot Flashes to Launch a Nutrition Practice

My experience with Dr. Zinkov's therapies have allowed me to sleep through the night without hot flashing, has allowed me to build lean body mass, has allowed me to have sustained energy and focus throughout the day. I completed a full master's program in my 50s and I've launched a nutrition practice. Now I'm 58 and I feel like I have all my brain cells on board for all that energy expenditure and learning chemistry - I never thought I could do any of that. And she really supported me all the way through it. Always available to me, adjusting my hormones, adjusting my peptides. So, I've experienced amazing results working with her. Hi, I'm Shelley Malcolm and I'm a certified nutritionist. Before the Hormone Potential Therapy program I was struggling with an inability to gain muscle. I had hot flashes that were all over the place. I was extremely fatigued and tired. So, things I've tried in the past that I felt frustrated with was seeing an endocrinologist. I've seen a number of them and my thyroid and my fatigue levels were still not at a level where I could focus all day long. I was waking up tired that was related to my thyroid, related to my hormone therapy, hormone replacement therapy in menopause. No doctor ever suggested - besides Dr. Zinkov - going on hormone replacement therapy and that's made a huge difference in my ability to sleep, my ability to function throughout the day and focus as well as build muscle mass. So, some of the goals that made me say "yes" to trying some of the different therapies that Dr. Zinkov offered were... energy, ability to recover from workouts, ability to gain muscle - lean muscle mass. Belly fat... frustration with that. And hot flashes were HUGE for me. So my goals were to reduce hot flashes, reduce belly fat, gain lean mass and recover from workouts. My opinions about hormones have dramatically changed. I was subscribing to the old beliefs that hormone replacement therapy causes cancer and increases your risk of cardiovascular disease and now know that is not true. I know the research, I know the science and Dr. Zinkov was the first person to encourage me to try hormone replacement therapy. If there was anything that prevented me from joining the program with Dr. Zinkov it probably would be that it was different than what my western doctors were saying and not understanding the research behind her work. Once I understood her research and her experience and and also once I saw the benefits inside myself then I was fully on board. What surprised me the most about working with Elena... a couple things. Her accessibility. She responds to me within 24 hours especially if it's an emergency, like a hot flash. She considers that an emergency. The other thing that surprised me the most was her different approach versus western doctors. She's really, really listening to her patients and trying to dial-in what's best for me. It's not a 15-minute session, it's an hour, hour and a half - She'll go late. And she's really trying to figure out my best custom approach. Working with Dr. Elena and her team, I have felt so cared for. I am such a unique individual where I'm super sensitive to any medications. I'm uber-sensitive. And she has been there with me every step of the way to dial-in my hormones and my peptides and my supplements. She's never not responded to a text message or an email. I feel like a priority in her practice. If someone were considering joining Dr. Elena's Hormone Potential Therapy program, I would highly recommend it. It is expensive but it's so worth it. I would not trust my hormones with anybody else. Not at this stage of my life. So, Dr. Zinkov has transformed my energy, the way I operate, the way I focus. She's Allowed me to live my full potential and I know if she can do that for me, she can do that for other people.
