Whether you’re a man or woman, imbalanced hormone levels can impact your life in a negative way. Imbalanced hormones can throw your body completely out of balance and cause you to have mood swings, weight gain, memory loss and even acne.
If you’re looking to sleep better, reduce hot flashes, improve your sex life, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) might be the key to solving your hormone imbalance.
Symptoms of Imbalanced Hormone Levels
In women, hormonal imbalance typically starts during perimenopause (between 30-50 years old) and can last throughout the rest of your life.
Approximately 80% of women experience symptoms related to hormone imbalance and menopause.
In men, hormone imbalance can start as early as their 20s and continue to last their lifetime.
If you can answer YES to any of the following questions you might be suffering from Hormone Imbalance
- Do you have trouble sleeping?
- Do you have a decreased sex drive?
- Do you experience vaginal dryness?
- Do you have trouble losing weight?
- Do you experience mood swings?
- Do you experience hot flashes?
- Do you experience memory loss?
- Do you feel depressed or anxious?
A simple blood test can tell you if you have low levels or an imbalance of hormones in your body.
From that test a medical professional can then come up with a plan to help you get your life back and rebalance your hormones. This plan usually involves Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
What is hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? Hormone replacement therapy is used to supplement the body with hormones when the body is no longer producing certain hormones or to support the hormones still in the body.
By utilizing hormone therapy your body’s hormone levels can reach homeostasis or balance.
5 Benefits of Hormone Therapy
When your hormones are balanced and when hormone replacement therapy is effective you can look forward to reaping these 5 following benefits.
Increased Sex Drive
This is an issue that affects both men and women. Many think that when they age they simply lose interest in physical touch. However, that is not always the case. If you suffer from low or imbalanced hormones your sex drive will also be low. By taking hormone therapy you can see an increase in your libido and have an enhanced sex life!
Better Sleep
Hormones affect us in many different ways. One of these is the inability to get a good night’s rest. When estrogen and progesterone level are low or falling this affects your ability to become sleepy. These hormones aid in falling asleep. This imbalance can also lead to need night sweats, and add to your lack of energy and sleepiness.
Put An End To Hot Flashes
For women going through perimenopause or menopause hot flashes are a nightmare and can be experienced even up to 10 years after going through menopause. Stop them in their tracks and reduce your hot flashes by putting your hormone levels back in place.
Decrease Your Chance of a Broken Bone
As we age we our bone density also decreases. Did you know that hormones also play a role in weak bones? In an article written by Patient, they state that “HRT is the first-line treatment for the prevention and management of osteoporosis in women with menopausal symptoms who are under the age of 50 years.”
Kickstart Your Weight Loss Journey
If you’ve experienced unexplained weight gain imbalanced hormones may be the root of the cause. If you struggle to lose this weight your hormones and an underactive thyroid gland are most likely to blame. Balanced hormones along with proper exercise and nutrition can help you lose the weight and keep you healthy and happy!

Depending on your needs for hormone therapy many adults can benefit from this treatment. It is always a must to consult with a medical professional before trying different treatments.
