Declining Hormones?
Does your mind say yes when your body says no?
As women get into their late 30’s and 40’s, their hormone levels begin to change similar to men. At Eternity Health Partners, we know that you may be suffering from hormone deficiency or female hormone imbalance. Hormones play a crucial role in the functioning of your body. Their levels and balance are extremely important to your health, mood, and well-being.
As a woman ages, her body becomes less effective in producing these vital hormones. Hormones fall to unhealthy levels creating a hormone imbalance in your body. Menopause, adrenal fatigue, and other hormone syndromes are all characterized and caused by improper hormone levels. Female hormones must stay in perfect hormonal balance in order for your body to function optimally.

Clearing The Air On Hormone Replacement Therapy
Based on the information provided, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the most effective treatment for relieving menopausal symptoms. The debate surrounding HRT lies in whether it raises the risk of certain chronic diseases, such as breast cancer, dementia, and cardiovascular disease.
Regarding breast cancer, the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) reported a slightly increased incidence of breast cancer in women taking conjugated equine estrogen (CEE) plus medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) compared to the placebo group. However, the increased risk was not observed in women who had not used hormone therapy prior to the study. It is suggested that MPA, and not estrogen, may be responsible for the elevated risk. It is important to note that the WHI data on breast cancer is based on older HRT formulations, and the effects of newer formulations on breast cancer risk are still unknown.
HRT has a positive impact on bone health. Estrogen is essential for maintaining bone density, and HRT prevents the loss of bone mineral density associated with menopause. However, once HRT is stopped, the protective effects on bone density diminish. Nonetheless, delaying bone loss through HRT can provide a longer window to maintain healthy bone mass and delay the onset of osteoporosis.
The impact of HRT on the risk of dementia is influenced by the age at which HRT is initiated. The WHI reported higher rates of probable dementia in women who started HRT late in life compared to those who had never used HRT. However, when HRT was initiated in mid-life, it was associated with a reduced risk of dementia. Initiating HRT early, within the first 10 years of menopause, does not increase the risk of dementia.
The effects of HRT on cardiovascular disease (CVD) are still a topic of debate. Epidemiological studies have suggested a potential reduction in CVD risk with HRT, but the WHI did not show a significant decrease or increase in CVD mortality. Similar to other outcomes, initiating HRT within 10 years of menopause may be associated with a reduced risk of coronary disease.
In conclusion, the decision to initiate or continue HRT depends on a risk-benefit analysis considering factors such as menopausal symptom severity, family history, and personal preferences. HRT is effective in relieving menopausal symptoms and maintaining bone density. The risks and benefits associated with HRT for breast cancer, dementia, and cardiovascular disease may vary depending on the individual and the timing of HRT initiation. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional to make informed decisions about HRT.
