Hormone therapy

Understanding Hormone Imbalance

Hormone levels naturally fluctuate throughout life. Dramatic shifts can occur during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and other factors also impact hormone levels. Imbalances can lead to issues like:

Unexplained weight gain or loss
Sleep disturbances
Depression, anxiety, or mood swings
Hot flashes and night sweats
Lack of energy and endurance
Reduced libido
Brain fog and memory lapses

Proper hormone balance is essential for overall health. When hormones decline or shift out of balance, hormone therapy can help get levels back on track.

This is because estrogen impacts the entire body, affecting things like oil gland production, circulation, and neurotransmitters.
