Hormones start declining in your mid 30s, starting with progesterone, often along with DHEA, testosterone also starts to decline, although for some women, they may get a surge, but then it’s typically followed by a decline, and at some point, estrogen starts to fluctuate wildly before it also starts to decline about one to two years prior to menopause, which is when you’ve essentially stopped getting a period for about 12 consecutive months because of the decline in these hormones, women not only begin to experience bothersome symptoms, but they have an increased risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, which is the number one killer of women in the US, obesity, different types of dementia like Alzheimer’s, as well as osteoporosis and even different types of cancers.
If you are starting perimenopause in your late 30s to 40s, that is a lot of time left on this planet in a low hormone state. Hormones are the most potent biochemical molecules that you have, think of them as chemical messengers, if you will, that carry vital communication between your glands, your organs, and other hormones throughout your body. When your hormones are not communicating properly, or when they are out of balance, you will experience symptoms and your health will suffer.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy could really benefit you, you know, and like most medications, they mask the underlying issue these synthetic hormones, which is a decline in your endogenous hormones. Why not replace those hormones with what is available to us, something that mimics the exact molecular structure of the hormones that we already make naturally?
When making any decision about your help, it is important to get educated and weigh the benefits versus the risk with a trusted provider. And lastly, hormone production, hormone communication and metabolism, which is the breakdown of your hormones, requires nutrients. A lot of people think they can just go on HRT, and that is that, no, you need to be supporting your body as well right the nutrients that you need include minerals like magnesium, iodine, zinc, selenium, as well as B vitamins. So many of us are missing essential nutrients due to a nutrient void, diet, stress, and gut imbalances. We may struggle with hormone production, communication, and the detoxification of hormones.
