“I used to be the person who organized everything. If someone needed help, I was already figuring out how to make it happen.

Now I stand in the kitchen trying to remember why I walked in there.

I let calls go unanswered because I don’t have the energy for a conversation. By the time I’ve done what absolutely has to get done, there’s nothing left for anything I actually enjoy.

My family says I’ve been quiet lately. I don’t know how to explain that I miss me too. I miss being interested in things. I miss having something to talk about besides how I feel. Sometimes I avoid old friends because I don’t want to explain why I’m still struggling or hear myself say, ‘Maybe next time,’ again.

The hardest part is wondering whether this is who I am now.”


Dr. Maggie’s perspective:

If you recognize yourself here, I want you to know why I look beyond individual symptoms. I’ve been sick, and I understand how much of your identity can disappear behind the work of getting through a day.

Watch this video to learn how I approach the patterns behind complicated symptoms, so you can stop facing them as disconnected problems and start understanding a way forward toward the life you miss: drmaggieyu.com/pots-webinar-yt-voices-of-chronic-i…

“Things started going downhill after 50.”

When you tell me that, I’m going to ask a few more questions.

“50” is a birthday. What happened around it?

Were you still sleeping well?

Had your periods changed?

Did you get sick, start a medication or notice that meals suddenly left you exhausted?

When I was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder at 38, the diagnosis described what my brain was doing. But my brain hadn’t always worked that way.

The problems appeared during early menopause, disrupted hormones, autoimmune disease and digestive dysfunction.

That timing deserved attention.

This is why I ask what changed. You may have been living with the symptoms for so long that you’ve forgotten there was a fairly clear before and after.

Never accept “getting older” as the complete explanation

Think back to the beginning. Your history may contain information that hasn’t made it into the conversation.

When I’m lifting weights, my goal isn’t to earn a “pretty good for your age.”

I want to be strong. I want to travel, carry my own things and have enough capacity to enjoy the life I’ve worked so hard to get back.

My birth year doesn’t tell you what I’m capable of, and I don’t want it setting the ceiling on what I should expect from myself.

Having been sick, I care deeply about being able to use my body. There’s a difference between being complimented for doing something at my age and actually feeling strong enough to do what I want.

That’s what I’m working toward when I pick up those weights.

Your goals may look different. You might want to climb stairs comfortably, get down on the floor with your grandchildren or go shopping without needing help. I want to know what matters to you before anyone decides you’re doing “well enough” based on your age.

Getting older belongs in the conversation. So do your symptoms, your history and the possibilities that haven’t been explored.

Watch this training to see how I look beyond your age to understand what’s limiting you and build a plan around what you want back: drmaggieyu.com/hormone-webinar-yt-personal-reflect…

If you’re tired of being told to expect less while you’re still struggling, you need to hear this.

🚨TONIGHT🚨 Life Over 50: Then vs. Now

THE GOLDEN GIRLS HAVE NOTHING ON US!

Remember when 50 was considered OLD?

The Golden Girls certainly made it look that way!

But what does life after 50 REALLY look like today? And what happens when you've spent years living with chronic illness?

Tonight at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET Dr. Maggie will be joined by two women from our Transform team, Natalie Rivier and Kathy Ryan, for a very different kind of LIVE.

Three women over 50. Three completely different lifestyles. And three women who have put their chronic health conditions into remission.

Natalie has been strength training for years. Dr. Maggie only started six months ago.

Kathy doesn't go to the gym at all, but she'll happily spend an afternoon stacking firewood.

Dr. Maggie loves her makeup. The other two? Not so much.

They live in completely different environments, have different priorities, and different ideas about what healthy living looks like. But they ALL love to travel, they’re all healthier than they’ve ever been, and none of them are ready to slow down just because of the number on their birthday cakes!

Here's what makes this conversation important:

All three of these ladies know what it's like to live with chronic illness. And all three of them have spent years working on their health.

What would their lives look like today if they hadn't? Would they be traveling? Staying active? Doing the things they love? Or would chronic illness be making those decisions for them?

They are proof that there's no ONE way to live well after 50, and chronic illness doesn't have to dictate what your later years look like.

Whether you're 40, 50, 60, or beyond, it's never too late to start taking your health seriously.

Join Natalie, Kathy, and Dr. Maggie for an honest, fun conversation about getting older, getting healthier, and living life on YOUR terms.

✦ TONIGHT, October 15th
✧ 3pm PT / 6pm ET
✦ Join us LIVE: www.drmaggieyu.com/youtube-live

You start a new supplement and suddenly you’re sleepier during the day. Or you take it after dinner and find yourself wide awake at midnight.

That’s information worth paying attention to. The timing may need a closer look.
Not every supplement belongs at breakfast, and not every supplement can be taken whenever you remember it.

Some need food. Others need to be taken away from food. Some can interfere with medications or need to be separated from other products.

If your routine has been patched together from several recommendations, you may have chosen useful products without understanding how to use them together.

Then you don’t feel better and assume the supplements aren’t working. But the product itself may not be the whole problem. The dose, timing and combination deserve attention too.

I want to know what you’re taking, when you’re taking it and what changed after you started. That requires a deeper understanding than choosing something from a shelf because the label mentions your symptom.

Your recommendations should fit you, and the full plan should work together.

Watch this video to see how I bring that understanding into personalized recommendations, so you can stop managing a patchwork of recommendations and start following a coordinated strategy with a clear reason behind each step: drmaggieyu.com/auto-webinar-yt-educational

“My friend invited me to lunch, and I asked which restaurant before I answered.

Then I checked the menu, thought about the drive and looked at what I had scheduled for the next day. By the time I’d considered everything that might go wrong, I was tired.

I told her I couldn’t make it.

She was kind about it. That almost made it worse, because I wanted to go. I wanted an ordinary lunch where the biggest decision was what to order.

Every invitation now comes with questions. Will there be something I can eat? Can I sit down? Will I have enough energy to get home? If I feel awful afterward, what will I have to cancel?

People have started asking less often. I understand why, but I still notice.”


Dr. Maggie’s perspective:

If chronic symptoms have turned invitations into calculations, I want to help you understand what’s driving that uncertainty.

Apparently, once you reach a certain age, your birth certificate develops remarkable diagnostic powers.

Tired? It’s your age.

Forgetful? It’s your age.

Everything hurts? What did you expect?

I expected someone to be curious.

I expected someone to dig even a little deeper than “it’s your age”.

Because guess what?

It wasn’t just “my age”.

I went through early menopause while dealing with complicated health problems.

Knowing that hormone changes could occur at my age didn’t tell me why I was struggling so much, what else was contributing or what could be done about it.

“Common at your age” can be a useful context but it becomes a big problem when the conversation stops there.

I’m quite comfortable acknowledging that I’m getting older. I’m less comfortable watching you accept symptoms that haven’t been adequately investigated because someone made them sound inevitable.

Never accept, “it’s your age” as an excuse for your provider to stop asking better questions about your health.

Watch this training so you can stop feeling dismissed or gaslit and finally get the answers about your changing health that you deserve: drmaggieyu.com/hormone-webinar-yt-personal-reflect…

I got COVID again, and I had to claw my health back.

It was frustrating. I’d worked hard to feel better, and I didn’t enjoy having to work through another difficult stretch.

But I wasn’t starting from scratch.

I already understood my foundations. I had information about my body, knew what had helped before and had support. That gave me somewhere to begin, even while we reassessed what had changed.

This might happen to you too. You can be making progress and still have a difficult month.
What I don’t want is for that month to convince you that nothing has ever worked. Or send you into adding 10 supplements, cutting out more foods and abandoning the strategy before anyone has reviewed what’s happening.

A setback needs attention. Sometimes the plan needs adjusting. Your earlier progress still matters.

I’ve been through complicated illness myself. I don’t expect recovery to follow a tidy sequence, and I want you to have support when it doesn’t.

Watch this video if every setback leaves you panicking about what to try next: drmaggieyu.com/auto-webinar-fb-general-autoimmunit…

I’ll show you how I build a strategy with foundations, priorities and support, so a hard stretch doesn’t leave you trying to find your way alone.

Generally, yes, when they’re made with suitable ingredients and fit your needs. They’re an option I often recommend when you want a little decadence while still being mindful of blood sugar.

You don’t always want another boiled egg. Sometimes you want something chocolatey or creamy that feels like a treat.

A fat bomb made with ingredients you tolerate well can offer that. It can also be an option for a bedtime snack when that’s part of your individual blood sugar strategy.
The ingredients and portion still matter. I consider whether you need protein alongside it and how it fits with your meals, symptoms and medications.

What I like about having options like this is that eating well becomes more enjoyable. You have something satisfying to reach for instead of feeling that taking care of your health means giving up everything you like.

That’s how I want to help you approach food: with practical options and a clear understanding of what works for your body.

Watch this video to see how I build recommendations around your symptoms, your needs and your life, then put the steps in the right order: drmaggieyu.com/auto-webinar-fb-educational

If cookie-cutter advice has left you confused about what to eat and what to try next, you need a plan that makes sense for you.

When my health was falling apart, information felt productive.

Surely the next article would contain the missing sentence. The next expert would recognize the pattern. The next test would finally put a name on everything.

Research can be empowering. It can also turn into a very sophisticated form of spinning in circles.

Suddenly there are fifty possible root causes. You need twelve tests, nine specialists and seventeen supplements. You are afraid of mold, gluten, histamine, chemicals, cortisol and the Wi-Fi router.

Technically, you know more. Practically, you have no idea what to do on Monday morning.

What helped me was separating what I could control from what I could merely worry about.

I cannot change my genetics or redesign the healthcare system before breakfast. I can understand my history, gather useful data, identify the current bottleneck and make one informed decision.

Information should increase your ability to act. If it only increases your list of fears, it is not serving you.

If you have researched yourself into complete paralysis, then WATCH this video: drmaggieyu.com/auto-webinar-yt-personal-reflection…

You don’t need another rabbit hole. You need a way to organize what you already know.
