Hormone decline is a natural part of aging that occurs in both men and women. As we get older, our bodies produce lower levels of key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, and growth hormone. This decline can start as early as our late 20s and early 30s.
The most dramatic hormone drops happen during perimenopause and menopause in women, and andropause in men. During these transitions, women's ovaries produce less estrogen and progesterone, while men's testicles produce less testosterone. Some major signs of hormone imbalance include:
- Low libido and sexual dysfunction - Hot flashes and night sweats - Mood swings and irritability - Fatigue and low energy - Weight gain and increased belly fat - Loss of muscle mass and strength - Thinning hair and skin - Poor sleep - Reduced mental clarity and memory
Lower hormone levels affect your overall health and quality of life. Hormone decline is linked to higher risks of osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.
So what causes our hormones to decline? It's a combination of factors:
- Aging organs like the ovaries, testes, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands functioning less optimally - Lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, and chronic stress - Environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors
The good news is that hormone decline is treatable! At Balance Hormone Center, we help men and women balance their hormones through personalized care. Our cutting-edge therapies include:
