What's Happening Hormonally

Estrogen - Rollercoaster swings → mood changes, hot flashes

Progesterone - Drops first → sleep issues, anxiety

Testosterone - Gradual decline → fatigue, joint pain

Cortisol - Often rises → stress, belly fat

Three Approaches:

- HRT (bioidentical hormones)

- Plant-based (phytoestrogens, herbs like Chasteberry, Black Cohosh)

- Micronutrient support (Magnesium, Vitamin D, Omega-3s, B vitamins)
