Get Back to Being Your Vibrant You!
Aging happens, and it’s a good thing! With aging comes amazing memories, wisdom, and hormonal changes. As a result of menopause, at some point, we all experience a depletion in our hormones. This often occurs for women around the age of 50. Even younger women can experience very low levels of hormones. Often times these deficiencies present as fatigue, brain fog, and decreased libido. These hormone deficiencies tend to worsen over time and increase the risk of developing some age-related chronic diseases.

Menopause
Peri menopause, in which symptoms can occur as early as 10 years prior to menopause, and menopause are natural physiologic occurances. During menopause, the production of estrogen and progesterone, the hormones that trigger the menstrual cycle, declines when the ovaries start to atrophy. This can happen as early as your 40’s. On average, women tend to go through menopause at age 51.
Estrogen
The female reproductive system and secondary sex traits are developed and regulated by a class of sex hormones called estrogens or oestrogens. Estrone, estradiol, and estriol are the three main endogenous estrogens. Symptoms of low estrogen levels include dry skin, breast tenderness, moodiness, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, weight gain, and decreased libido.
Progesterone
The menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis are all influenced by progesterone, an endogenous steroid and progestogen sex hormone. It is the primary progestogen in the body and is a member of the progestogen family of steroid hormones. Symptoms of low progesterone include irregular menstrual periods, headaches, difficulty conceiving, trouble sleeping, hot flashes, weight gain, and breast tenderness.
Testosterone
Although women produce less testosterone than men, the ovaries and adrenal glands do produce testosterone. Testosterone plays a role in libido, bone development, mood, and fertility. Testosterone levels gradually begin to decrease as you enter your 30s. But you can experience low testosterone levels at any time in your life. Symptoms of low testosterone include dry skin, fatigue, decreased muscle strength, vaginal dryness, infertility, depression, thinning hair, and decreased libido.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis is made based on a physical exam and your blood test results. When your current hormone levels are identified, we will develop a customized HRT plan for you using bioidentical (chemically identical) hormones.
