The Early Years
Hormone balance has been compared to a symphony – hormones can work together to create a masterpiece – but imbalance can be a disaster. Your adrenal glands produce cortisol which moderates your stress response, and changing levels can cause anxiety and depression. Progesterone is required to maintain pregnancy, but declining levels after childbirth can lead to post-partum depression. Low testosterone levels reduce sex drive. Leptin influences your weight and body fat, melatonin helps you sleep, and thyroid hormones affect your heartbeat and control your metabolism. It’s all a delicate balance which the experts at LifePlus MD can help to maintain.
Menopause and After
Menopause is a natural biological process, defined as occurring 12 months after your last menstrual period and marks the end of menstrual cycles. Although it also ends fertility, you can stay healthy, vital, and sexual. Some women feel relieved because they no longer need to worry about pregnancy. Even so, the physical symptoms such as hot flashes, and emotional symptoms of menopause may disrupt your sleep, lower your energy, or trigger anxiety and feelings of sadness and loss. The lining of the vagina can become dry, making intimacy uncomfortable. Declining estrogen levels affect cognitive function, breast health, and your cardiovascular system.
