How does menopause affect my hormones?

As your ovaries stop making key reproductive hormones, you will experience dramatic swings and an eventual decline in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Additionally, as the levels of estrogen and progesterone plummet, your pituitary gland produces more FSH and LH (follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones) in an effort to stimulate the ovaries.

How do these hormones affect my day-to-day life?

These hormones are responsible for many essential functions. So, fluctuations and decreases in them can have a tremendous effect on your overall health and well-being. As you enter perimenopause, hormonal changes can affect heart health, bone density, mood, skin/complexion, libido, muscle mass, energy levels, and more.

What are the most common symptoms associated with menopause?

It is important to be evaluated and seek out treatment options, because the following symptoms can last for several years into menopause:

Hot flashes
Night sweats
Irregular periods (shorter, longer, heavier, lighter)
Vaginal dryness, itching, and discomfort
Insomnia, poor quality of sleep
Depression, anxiety, mood swings, and irritability
Weight gain, particularly in the abdominal area
“Brain fog”
Thin hair and dry skin
Loss of interest in sex
Bladder leakage
Heart palpitations
Painful, stiff joints and muscle aches

What options are available to help with these menopausal changes?

Hormone therapy at our holistic medicine center is not any one thing, but rather a variety of different interventions expertly tailored to your needs. Our recommendations for treatment are based on a thorough evaluation. We take great pride in offering a comprehensive suite of assessments and testing. We can determine the nature and extent of hormonal deficiencies. Once we understand your needs, our team may recommend nutritional support, botanical medicine, nutraceuticals, lifestyle counselling, acupuncture, mind-body medicine, and other natural therapies that are safe, effective, and unlock your body’s ability to heal itself. In part, these products and interventions can help to regulate hormones, improve symptoms, and stop the effects of imbalances in menopause from becoming worse. These steps are also important protective factors that promote bone and heart health among post-menopausal women.
