Peri-menopause and Menopause
During peri-menopause there is a decline in the estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone. Declining levels of thyroid hormone and DHEA also have significant effects on the aging of women. Hormonal changes can begin as early as the mid to late thirties such as the following:
Decline in the hormone progesterone – This can lead to migraine headaches, water retention, insomnia, weight gain, and depression. This leaves a woman with estrogen dominance and places her at an increased risk for female cancers.
Decline in the hormone estradiol – leads to menopause symptoms, such as night sweats, hot flashes, memory lapses, thinning skin and hair, reduced sex drive, and an increased risk for heart disease and bone loss occurs.
Decline in the hormone testosterone- leads to reduced sex drive, low energy, joint pain, memory loss, thinning to the skin and hair and decrease in mood.
