Estrogen: The Master Regulator
Estrogen (mainly estradiol) governs the menstrual cycle and influences bone density, skin, mood, temperature regulation, and vaginal and urinary health. When it falls at menopause, the result can be hot flashes, night sweats, dryness, bone loss, and mood changes.
Progesterone: Balance and Sleep
Progesterone balances estrogen, protects the uterine lining, and supports calm and sleep. As ovulation becomes irregular in perimenopause, progesterone drops — often contributing to poor sleep, anxiety, and heavier or erratic periods.
Testosterone: Not Just a Male Hormone
Women produce testosterone too, in smaller amounts, and it drives libido, energy, mood, and muscle. Declining testosterone contributes to low desire, fatigue, and reduced motivation — symptoms that often go unaddressed.
Restoring Balance
Hormone therapy replaces what has declined, guided by bloodwork. A physician tailors the combination — estradiol, progesterone, and where appropriate a small amount of testosterone — to your symptoms and health history.
Frequently Asked Questions

Why add progesterone?
Progesterone protects the uterine lining and supports sleep and calm; it is standard when estrogen is prescribed to women with a uterus.
