Hormone Spigot Turned Off? Estrogen

Estrogen has about 400 crucial functions in the body.  Of course it would be difficult to list them all on this blog, but here's a few of the major 'need to knows'.

Increases metabolic rate
Helps you sleep more deeply
Dilates your arteries
Maintains the amount of collagen in the skin
Helps with memory
Helps with fine motor skills
Increases energy
Decreases wrinkles
Protects your eyes
Reduces irritability, anxiety, and depression levels

Symptoms of decreased estrogen
The BIGGIES and the reason that women seek help.
Hot Flashes
Night sweats
Rapidly aging/thinning skin
Vaginal dryness
Foggy Thinking
Irritability
Mood Swings

There are various estrogens that the body produces naturally.  Each can be tested and the benefits of each can be discussed.  Give me a call if you are struggling with the symptoms associated with what might be declining estrogen.
