Estrogen strengthens bones
Estrogen influences how your body uses calcium as it relates to the regulation of calcium homeostasis. Estrogen promotes the activity of osteoblasts, which are cells that produce bone.
Estrogen also decreases bone resorption, which is the breakdown of bones. Balanced estrogen levels reduce your risk of osteoporosis and broken bones.
Estrogen and testosterone improve mood and brain function
Estrogen has antidepressant effects through regulation of your body's temperature, norepinephrine activity, and serotonin response and uptake in the brain. Studies show that estrogen significantly improves sleep quality and quantity. When estrogen levels are balanced, you'll wake up feeling fresh and recharged.
Your ability to think is profoundly impacted by your testosterone levels. Studies show that testosterone improves working memory, visual memory, and verbal memory. The fastest and most noticeable positive effects of hormone therapy are clearer thinking and improved mood. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that increasing testosterone levels stalled the development of Alzheimer’s disease. This development led many to speculate that maintaining optimal hormone levels may prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
Estrogen, progesterone, and growth hormone significantly improve sleep quality
Estrogen has been proven to 1) decrease sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep), 2) decrease cyclic spontaneous arousals, and 3) increase total sleep time. Studies show that estrogen improves sleep quality, enables falling asleep more quickly and easily, and decreases nighttime wakefulness. With balanced estrogen levels, you'll wake up feeling fresh and recharged.
Progesterone has both sedative and anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) features. It stimulates the production of NREM-associated gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors by stimulating benzodiazepine receptors. Progesterone also acts as a respiratory stimulant and has been used to treat mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). With balanced progesterone levels, you'll wake up anxiety free, recharged, and able to breathe freely.
Sleep affects every aspect of your life. Anxiety and depression are associated with insomnia. You can say goodbye to insomnia when you start hormone therapy; regardless of whichever hormone therapy is right for you.
Testosterone decreases body fat
Testosterone is essential to the regulation of insulin, glucose, and fat storage. As testosterone levels drop, so does your body’s ability to process insulin, glucose, and fat.
Testosterone levels are directly correlated with fat storage. Testosterone is lipolytic, meaning fat burning. If you're deficient in testosterone, you're fighting a significant uphill battle against weight gain from fat. Optimizing your levels will melt body fat.
Testosterone increases muscle mass
As the most essential anabolic hormone, testosterone improves muscle protein synthesis; leading to more muscle mass.
The more muscle you possess, the more metabolically active you are and the more calories you burn at rest. Building muscle also combats sarcopenia due to its protective effects on your joints, tendons, ligaments, and bones. Patients report improvement in joint pain and flexibility.

Brain fog
Brain fog includes trouble with concentration, short-term or long-term memory loss, difficulty processing information, difficulty solving problems, and diminished word recall when communicating.
Brain fog is commonly misdiagnosed as a mild cognitive impairment that is linked to progressive conditions like Alzheimer's disease or early-onset dementia.
Over 75% of women report experiencing brain fog during the menopausal transition. 60% of those women have significant improvements as early as month 3 of treatment.
Anxiety
Anxiety is the feeling of fear, nervousness, or apprehension that arises in stressful situations. Physical symptoms can include a racing heart, rapid breathing, sweating, trembling, muscle weakness, and stomach issues.
Hormone therapy can be very helpful in treating anxiety. Women are frequently prescribed serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which do work but ignore the root cause of hormone imbalance.
Over 60% of women report experiencing anxiety during the menopausal transition. Almost 70% of these women have significant improvements as early as month 3 of treatment.
Vaginal dryness
Feeling not well lubricated, itchy, and irritated makes sex uncomfortable or extremely painful. Vaginal dryness even causes discomfort throughout normal daily activities.
HormoneMD is on a mission to inform women that vaginal dryness can be treated and even reversed. If you're only experiencing vaginal dryness without other symptoms, vaginal tablets are the preferred delivery application of treatment.
Over 50% of women report experiencing vaginal dryness during the menopausal transition. Over 70% of these women have significant improvements as early as month 2 of treatment.
Hot flashes
Hot flashes are the most common symptom of menopause and perimenopause. Sudden feelings of intense heat, increasing heart rate, feelings of anxiety or dread, and skin flushing are signs of hot flashes.
Over 75% of women report experiencing hot flashes during the menopausal transition. Over 90% of these women have significant improvements as early as month 3 of treatment.
Night sweats
Night sweats are exactly what they sound like; sudden waves of heat in your body that cause you to sweat profusely and typically cause women to wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat.
Over 65% of women report experiencing night sweats during the menopausal transition. Over 80% of these women have significant improvements as early as month 3 of treatment.
Perimenopause (40's) common symptoms can include:
Sleep disruption
Brain fog
Fatigue
Weight changes
Mood swings
Anxiety or depression
Menopause (50's) common symptoms can include:
Hot flashes
Night sweats
Sleep disruption
Joint pain
Brain fog
Late Menopause (60's) common symptoms can include:
Painful sex
Urinary issues
Vaginal dryness
Brain fog
Hormonal birth control at young ages, inadequate menopause therapy protocols, and countless prescriptions for depression, anxiety, or sleep are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to improper recognition of women's hormonal health.
Hormone disruption in young females significantly increases a woman's risk of severe and difficult-to-treat health consequences later in life.
Hormonal changes and other changes that occur at midlife stop you from living the life you want to live. And that is unacceptable; fortunately, it's preventable.
