At Aluma Wellness, one thing we know for sure is that virtually every woman will suffer from hormonal imbalance at some point in life. Puberty, PMS, birth control pills, post-birth control pill syndrome, pregnancy, hysterectomies, perimenopause, and post-menopause can all cause fluctuations and changes in female hormone production.
Perimenopause and post-menopause are responsible for significant physical changes in women. Perimenopause causes changes years before the final menstrual period. Its arrival is signaled by changes in the length of time between periods. Perimenopause can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years and usually begins during the mid-40s but may occur earlier. Menopause begins about one year after the final menstrual period. During this transition time, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels fluctuate dramatically.

During perimenopause and post-menopause, it’s not unusual to experience the following:
Although these symptoms are often menopause-related, stress, poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and environmental toxins can produce similar problems at any age.
A balance of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone is required to prevent unwanted body changes during and after menopause. Most natural hormone replacement regimens include all of these components, in doses specifically customized to each woman’s particular needs.
Estrogen. A woman’s body naturally produces three different types of estrogen: estriol, estradiol, and estrone. As estrogen levels naturally decrease, there is an increased risk of heart disease, cognitive decline, osteopenia, and osteoporosis. In estrogen replacement therapy, progesterone and testosterone play key roles.
Progesterone. Natural progesterone is produced only in the ovaries. Women often think they don’t need progesterone if they’ve had a hysterectomy; however, this is not true. Your body still needs progesterone for many important functions such as:
Low progesterone levels can result in many undesirable symptoms during perimenopause and post-menopause. One of progesterone’s functions is to support the balance of the body’s estrogen levels. A healthy hormone balance of estrogen and progesterone is critical to the optimal functioning of women’s bodies.
Testosterone. Both men and women produce testosterone. In women, the ovary makes small amounts, even after menopause. If the ovaries are removed or stop producing testosterone, a deficiency can produce the following symptoms:
