bioidentical hormone therapy for women

get relief from the symptoms of menopause and other hormonal imbalances

It’s easy to dismiss the signs of hormone imbalance as mere side effects of aging. Many women assume that hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, low sex drive, and “brain fog” are just part of the aging process.

The truth is, yes, conditions of hormone imbalance, like menopause, are an inevitable part of aging, but no one has to live with the ongoing battle against uncomfortable symptoms that diminish health or quality of life. Women can find relief from the symptoms of menopause and other hormonal imbalances such as adrenal fatigue, thyroid disorders, perimenopause and even PMS.

menopause: what’s really going on

Menopause is a widely-known condition of hormone imbalance and rapidly becoming the most common as the number of women over 50 in the United States soars higher. Menopause is the top reason women seek hormone therapy.

Menopause often begins in a woman’s late 40s to early 50s, when her ovaries cease producing eggs and stop the subsequent release of hormones that initiates the monthly menstrual cycle. Perimenopause is the stage just before menopause when a woman’s menstrual cycles begin to become irregular and she may be affected by symptoms similar to menopause. A woman is considered menopausal when her menstrual cycle has been absent for 12 consecutive months. Perimenopause and menopause both leave many women struggling with their health, well-being and even their sense of self. It’s hard to resume normal living when plagued by disruptive symptoms like hot flashes, anxiety, weight gain and fatigue. Some women may also be affected by more serious conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or cancer that can intensify the menopausal experience.

Hormone levels change dramatically during menopause, inducing the uncomfortable symptoms commonly associated with the condition. Hormones control almost every aspect of the body from temperature regulation to metabolism to the sleep cycle, so it’s no wonder that during menopause most women experience a wide range of frustrating issues. In reality, menopause doesn’t have to be like this! Restoring balance to your hormone levels can minimize or even reverse the symptoms.
