Mood Swings, Brain Fog, Fatigue? Your Hormones May Be to Blame
As a pioneering hormone replacement clinic, we’re dedicated to optimizing your health, and during Mental Health Awareness Month this May, we’re shining a light on a critical but often overlooked factor: the link between low hormone levels and mental health. Hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone play a vital role in regulating mood, cognition, and emotional well-being. When these hormones dip, the effects can ripple through your mental state, impacting everything from your energy to your relationships. Here’s how low hormones can affect your mental health and what you can do about it.
Menopause triggers hot flashes, fatigue, and mood swings as hormone production drops, tempting many to flood the system with estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, and testosterone via HRT. But this one-size-fits-all fix can backfire—estrogen, for instance, sparks histamine reactions like itching or brain fog, especially without progesterone’s balance. Overloading with these hormones risks sedation, adrenal chaos, and liver strain, ignoring menopause’s natural shift and issues like gut or thyroid dysfunction. At Advanced Vitality, we prioritize precision—testing, low doses, and lifestyle tweaks—to help you thrive, not just survive. Ready for a smarter approach? Contact us today!
In recent years, the connection between gut health and overall wellness has garnered significant attention, and for a good reason. Our digestive system is more than just a food processor—it’s a critical regulator of many bodily functions, including the balance of hormones. When the gut functions optimally, it supports the proper metabolism and regulation of hormones, which in turn influences energy levels, mood, weight, and even reproductive health. One of the most intriguing aspects of this connection is the role that gut health plays in estrogen metabolism and reabsorption, particularly how conditions like constipation can negatively affect this delicate balance.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a powerful tool for managing symptoms of hormone imbalance, but not all delivery methods offer the same level of flexibility. While hormone pellets are often praised for their convenience, they come with significant drawbacks—including lack of dosage flexibility and potential hormone surges and troughs.
At Advanced Vitality HRT, we believe in customized, adaptable hormone therapy that evolves with your needs. Unlike pellets, our approach allows for precise dose adjustments, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your health and well-being.
Hormonal balance is essential for feeling your best, functioning optimally, and aging gracefully. For both men and women, recognizing the signs of low hormones and considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can be transformative. These therapies aren’t about enhancing beyond normal levels—they aim to restore your hormones to the vibrant balance of younger years, helping you regain energy, vitality, and a renewed sense of health.
