As a woman, your female hormones being to decline in your mid 30’s. This decline can lead to numerous symptoms that may come and go until your period stops signifying that you have entered menopause.
Symptoms may include, but are certainly not limited to:
Traditional treatments include anti-depressants for mood changes, sleep aids for insomnia, hormonal birth control to regulate the timing and amount of flow from periods, and the common “eat less, exercise more” to help with weight gain.
- Bio-identical hormone therapies provided by Only Hormones include FDA approved pharmaceutical medications available at any pharmacy as well as compounded bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) through a specialized compounding pharmacy.
- These hormones include estradiol, estriol, progesterone, DHEA, and testosterone. Hormone therapy is only one part of the equation. The cornerstones of health are part of the bigger picture, and Tammy is happy to be your guide to incorporating these cornerstones into your health journey.

- The decline in hormones and sexual function is often gradual and attributed to another cause such as family or work stress, fatigue or environmental factors.
Andropause is the male equivalent to menopause. Like women, men can also experience declines in their hormonal levels as they age.
These Hormone declines can lead to…
Laboratory values are based on a reference range of men aged 17 to 70, skewing the average numbers so much that most men fall within the normal range.
What this means is that if a 40-year-old male has a low normal testosterone level, his testosterone is actually closer to the levels of a 70-year-old male.
