Hormones are responsible for a lot of the body’s functions. All hormones have a different role, but they can affect a lot more than you might think. Something as simple as low estrogen levels in women could affect things like motivation and energy, mood and vitality, and even physical and sexual health.
Hormone replacement therapy is designed to replace missing or depleted hormones that result from a variety of causes and conditions. Although every woman is different, the ultimate goal is the same: to balance the hormone levels in the body and get them back to a healthy range. Estrogen replacement is typically designed to assist with things like reproductive and sexual health, muscle and bone health, skin health, and mental and brain health.
Progesterone and estrogen are typically prescribed as a dual hormone replacement therapy because progesterone imbalances can affect the balance of estrogen. Progesterone, however, can also itself assist with sleep, mood support, metabolism, and other areas of health and wellbeing.
The use of synthetic hormones may or may not carry with it a number of potential health risks. Anything synthetic or lab-created always comes with the concern that there may be adverse effects or reactions. For many people, this leads them to seek out hormone replacement through a process known as bioidentical hormone replacement.
Women who are struggling with low hormone levels as a result of menopause or various health conditions will experience a range of symptoms. Some women may experience all of them, while some may experience only one or not even notice any of them because they are so subtle. However, some good indicators that you might have a hormone imbalance related to estrogen include:
The important thing to remember here is that the trouble is the hormones. It’s not all “in your head” like some people might have you think. Often, because a lot of the symptoms are sexual and emotional in nature, women don’t connect it to a hormone deficiency right away. However, you are not alone if you are dealing with any of these symptoms, and restoring the balance can be easier than you think.

When most people think of the word hormones, we imagine the mood swings and body changes of puberty. However, testosterone and estrogen are only 2 of the 50 different hormones that the body uses to regulate itself throughout our lifetime. When any of these hormones become depleted or unbalanced in the body, it’s common to deal with a wide variety of adverse effects ranging from loss of libido to weight fluctuations, depression, and more. As we age, hormone imbalances are natural but that doesn’t mean that you must suffer through big changes like menopause without help. Using bioidentical hormone replacement or estrogen therapy, it’s possible to feel better emotionally and physically.
Bioidentical therapy is a type of hormone replacement therapy that is safe and effective in treating hormone imbalances that are associated with pre-menopause, menopause, and post-menopause. Whether you have been dealing with depression and anxiety, hot flashes, fatigue, insomnia, lack of sex drive, or have just been generally feeling out of sorts—bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help.
Because no two patients are alike, it’s important to work with your medical team to create a tailored bioidentical hormone therapy plan that will address your specific needs. A proper care plan should take into consideration your nutritional needs. Current medications and supplements, lifestyle needs, and activity level to best restore your hormonal balance.
Those who lack sufficient amounts of estrogen in their bodies as they age, or as a result of various medical conditions or health issues, could face any number of related health risks and adverse effects. For example, women who are in menopause and have lower hormone levels may be more likely to experience heart attack, stroke, and osteoporosis when the imbalance is left untreated.
Having low estrogen can also result in thinning hair or hair loss, memory problems, fatigue, and more. Replacing the naturally-occurring estrogen in the body, however, does bring with it a number of benefits, including protection for your bones, improved or maintained brain function, and protection from conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
Replacing estrogen with HRT can offer potential health benefits like:
Using bioidentical hormones to replenish and balance estrogen levels in the body will go a long way in helping restore the body’s natural balance and provide the benefits listed above.
As mentioned earlier, progesterone is mostly used to regulate estrogen production. However, it can also have its own negative ramifications on the body if appropriate levels are not maintained. There are many different potential benefits to be had from bioidentical hormone replacement for progesterone and estrogen simultaneously. Healthy progesterone levels on their own can reduce the risk of breast cancer by as much as 88%.
With estrogen, this risk can decrease even further. It can also act to protect bones and improve overall bone health. A healthy progesterone level will improve sleep, provide immune function support, help balance estrogen, and provide a number of other benefits:
If you think that you may be suffering from low estrogen or progesterone levels, you will want to seek the assistance of medical professionals right away. A simple blood test is all that is needed to determine if you have a hormone deficiency. Once the blood work is obtained, the results will be reviewed with you to determine the best course of action.
In many cases, this consultation will help you better understand your options and figure out the correct course of action to handle your hormone replacement therapy. We can also discuss the details of bioidentical hormones, their benefits, and how they differ from synthetic hormone replacement treatments.
If you are experiencing any of the common symptoms associated with menopause, estrogen therapy or bioidentical hormone therapy may help restore proper hormonal balance in your body and mind.
