I'm Lori Werner. I went through menopause at 41 and spent years trying to feel like myself again. I found my way back, and now I share what worked for me, and I mentor people building businesses in wellness and longevity.
My story
I'm 50 years old, and I was completely through menopause at 41. That's about ten years before most women.
I had the hot flashes and night sweats, but the hardest part was mental. I didn't feel like myself. Everything felt doom and gloom. I started having panic attacks, and I'd never had those before in my life.
I found a functional medicine doctor and got on hormone therapy, and that helped a lot. But the weight wouldn't budge. I gained about 25 pounds out of nowhere, and I was doing everything right. I work out, I eat well, and I was practically starving myself and nothing changed. When you don't fit in your clothes and you're doing all the things, it's defeating.
My doctor introduced me to peptides. My first one was sermorelin, about six or seven years ago. It helped my sleep, but it didn't touch the fat. Then I started learning about microdosing GLP-1s, and that's how I found the physician network I partnered with.
Microdosing was the first thing in eight to ten years that actually worked. I got back to my college weight. I feel like a million bucks. At 50, I feel like I'm having my glow up. I got myself back, mentally and physically.
That's my personal experience, not a promise. Everybody's journey looks different. But it's why I can't not share this.
What I use
People ask me all the time what I actually take. Here's my personal stack, with links to the exact products.
The one that changed everything for me. Microdosing was the first thing in eight to ten years that actually worked. I got back to my college weight and I feel like a million bucks.
Shop this peptide →My shortcut stack. I started with GHK-Cu for skin, hair, and nails, and BPC-157 with TB-500 for a frozen shoulder (a fun menopause symptom). I also did PT and saw a regenerative doctor, but the peptides significantly accelerated my healing. KLOW combines those three plus KPV in one shot, which is easier and better on cost.
Shop KLOW →My clarity stack. I take it for energy, mental focus, and cellular health. I have a high-stress job and I have to think clearly, and menopause brain fog is real. It helps me with stress management too, I feel more resilient on it.
Shop NAD+ →I went through menopause at 41. Getting on hormone therapy helped a lot, and it's part of how I got myself back.

“I noticed a faster workout recovery almost immediately. My muscles just looked more toned after 2 months. I am 52, and the skin over my knees is lifted up again. If you know, you know. Sermorelin has been a huge boost to my healthy lifestyle.”Kinzie Jones

One last thing
I didn't start because I had everything figured out. I started because I was a woman who finally felt like herself again, and I couldn't not share it.
