Estrogen is a key hormone responsible for many functions in the body, particularly in women. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle, supports reproductive health, maintains bone density, influences mood, and contributes to healthy skin, hair, and cardiovascular function.

As women transition into menopause, estrogen, more specifically estradiol levels (which are produced by the ovaries), naturally begin to decline. This hormonal shift can lead to a range of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, irregular periods, vaginal dryness, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and changes in memory or concentration. Over time, lower estradiol levels may also contribute to a higher risk of osteoporosis and heart disease.

Understanding estradiol's role is essential for recognizing how hormonal balance affects overall well-being — not just during reproductive years, but throughout every stage of life. 

We at Amare believe that in order to live our best life it is essential to replace estradiol after menopause to reduce heart disease, skin aging, the risk of osteoporosis, protect against Alzheimer's, macular degeneration, cataracts, and to improve bladder control and sexual function. This is bioidentical to what our bodies have made for years and should not be confused with synthetic preparations made and benefited by pharmaceutical companies. Our hormones are handmade by WorldLink trained compounded pharmacies and sent directly to your home. 

While testosterone is often labeled as a “male hormone,” it plays a crucial role in women’s health too. In fact, women produce testosterone in their ovaries and adrenal glands — just in smaller amounts than men. Despite its lower levels, testosterone is essential for maintaining muscle mass, bone strength, mood stability, energy levels, and a healthy sex drive.

As women age, particularly during perimenopause and menopause, testosterone levels can decline alongside other hormones. This drop can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, decreased motivation, brain fog, mood changes, and reduced physical strength.

Because testosterone is so often associated with men, its role in women is frequently overlooked or misunderstood. But for many women, restoring healthy testosterone levels can be just as important as balancing estrogen or progesterone.

As men age, their hormones naturally decrease and go through a similar phase as their female counterparts. This is known as "andropause". This fall in hormones can be due to the aging process or to endocrine disrupting chemicals found in our environment and foods. Testosterone in men is a prohormone that converts actively to estradiol and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). When these levels decline, men may experience lower levels of libido, hot flashes, night sweats, decreased strength of erections, decline in muscle mass and bone density, increased fatigue and mental cognition. 

Replacing this necessary hormone can lead to enhanced sexual function, increased energy and muscle mass, reduced incidence of insulin resistance, lower risk of Alzheimer's and osteoporosis, reduced visceral fat and weight loss. Testosterone prescriptions are appropriate for those men who are no longer interested in starting a family as replacing testosterone decreases sperm count. It has also been studied and is most effective for all health benefits as a topical cream applied twice daily. 

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck, but its influence on the body is anything but small. It produces hormones — primarily T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine) — that regulate metabolism, energy production, temperature control, brain function, and even heart rate and digestion.

When thyroid hormone levels become imbalanced — either too low (hypothyroidism) or too high (hyperthyroidism) — it can disrupt nearly every system in the body. Women are especially vulnerable to thyroid issues, particularly during times of hormonal transition like pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause. Symptoms of low thyroid function can include fatigue, bowel dysfunction/constipation, menstrual irregularities, thinning of the hair or nails, weight gain, dry skin, depression, brain fog, and sensitivity to cold.

Even slight shifts in thyroid levels can have a significant impact on how a person feels day to day. Thyroid deficiency is not to be confused with insufficiency and can be missed or misdiagnosed as many other disorders. This hypofunction can be difficult for many providers to treat as the lab values still fall in the "normal" range, however if patients are experiencing symptoms, they will feel better once they are "optimized". Our compounded thyroid prescriptions are great for men and women and need to be taken first thing in the morning with a full glass of water 30 minutes before any other medications, supplements, or vitamins. 

Progesterone is a key hormone in the female body, best known for its role in the menstrual cycle and supporting pregnancy. But its influence goes far beyond reproduction. Progesterone has a natural calming effect on the brain, promotes restful sleep, supports mood stability, and helps balance the effects of estrogen in the body.

As women enter perimenopause and beyond, progesterone levels are often the first to decline — sometimes even years before estrogen begins to drop. This early loss of progesterone can lead to symptoms like anxiety, irritability, insomnia, mood swings, irregular periods, and heavy or painful menstruation. 

Maintaining optimal progesterone levels is essential not just for reproductive health, but for emotional well-being, sleep quality, and overall hormonal harmony at every stage of a woman’s life. Optimizing progesterone can lead to stronger bones, lower blood pressure, 

improved premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and has reduced risks of breast, endometrial, ovarian and colon cancers. Reproductive benefits can also include reduction in postpartum depression, decreased risk of miscarriage, and improved lactation. 

Our compounded oral progesterone is to be taken at night to help with sleep benefits. Additional rapid dissolving tablets can also be prescribed during the day to help with mood and temperature fluctuations.
