THE IMPORTANCE OF HORMONE BALANCE

For men and women, the sex hormones estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone perform several important processes. Both men and women begin to produce less of these hormones as they age, which can start as early as someone’s mid-20s or early 30s. Most women see a significant drop in estrogen and testosterone during menopause, while many men may experience a similar phenomenon relating to testosterone, known as andropause. Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. Hormones are important for regulating most major bodily processes. Because of their essential role in the body, even the smallest hormonal imbalance can cause side effects throughout the body.

If not now, WHEN?

Around age 40, both women and men will experience a continuing decline is estrogen and testosterone, which can result in negative changes to one's health and well-being. Hormone Optimization can reverse this decline.

Estrogen & Menopause

There is no current way to prevent or reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia - except estrogen.

Estrogen is the most effective treatment for menopausal symptoms, e.g., hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, dryness, and loss of desire, but other symptoms of menopause include heart palpitations, joint/muscle aches, headaches, bladder problems, and depression - all which estrogen can alleviate.

Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year. That's approximately one woman every minute. Estrogen can decrease this risk by 30-50%.

Seven times as many women die of cardiovascular disease as die of breast cancer annually. In fact, cardiovascular disease, not cancer, is the leading cause of death in breast cancer survivors.

Osteoporosis

1 in 2 women >age 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis. Estrogen prevents osteoporosis. A woman's risk of breaking a hip is equal to her combined risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer.

As many women die annually following osteoporotic hip fractures as from cancer, estrogen can decrease this risk by 50%.

How Do Estrogen Levels Change With Age?

In women, estrogen levels are reduced as they get older. Hormone levels in women drop most dramatically during perimenopause (immediately before menopause) and during menopause. In fact, after female menopause, many men may have higher estrogen levels than women. If a woman has had a radical hysterectomy involving the removal of both ovaries, her estrogen levels will struggle significantly, as the ovaries’ primary responsibility is estrogen production. Although adrenal glands produce some estrogen, as does fat tissue, this is often not enough to effectively balance and maintain women’s hormone levels.

What Is Female BHRT?

BHRT stands for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Hormone therapy for women has been a common practice to cope with aging for decades. Female hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help women who are suffering from unbalanced hormones. Bioidentical hormones delivered through BHRT pellets closely replicate the molecular structure of human hormones.

When May Female BHRT Be Most Beneficial?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women may help any woman whose hormones are out of balance. However, the most common time women seek bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is when they’re experiencing menopause.

Women typically experience three stages of menopause—perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause.

There are also rare instances regarding women who have never had balanced hormones, often causing excessively uncomfortable menstrual cycles and extreme mood swings. The Biote Method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women may help address the cause of these issues.
