Hormone levels naturally decrease as we age, a process known as hormonopause or hormone decline. This occurs in both men and women, typically starting around age 30.
The most well-known example is menopause in women, which marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. During menopause, a woman's body produces less of the key female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, leading to symptoms like hot flashes, trouble sleeping, and mood changes.
However, men also experience reductions in key hormones like testosterone. Lower testosterone levels can cause symptoms such as low energy, decreased muscle mass, weight gain, and reduced libido.
Some key points about hormone decline:
The good news is that there are treatment options available to help manage hormone decline! Hormone replacement therapy can help relieve unpleasant symptoms by restoring hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone to more youthful levels.
For example, at Hormone Harmony Clinic, we offer customized bioidentical hormone therapy to help both men and women feeling slowed down by hormone imbalance. Our compassionate providers tailor treatment plans to your unique needs and health goals.
We also provide nutritional, fitness and lifestyle advice to help you age vibrantly. Our patents rave about enjoying improved energy, sleep, libido and zest for life once their hormones are rebalanced.
