Progesterone: Hormone Balance in Perimenopause & MenopauseWhen we talk about hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, estrogen gets the most attention.

Considering Transitioning from Bioidenticals to Amata Life?
This is a question we hear over and over again. Many, many women are on bioidentical hormones—meaning various combinations of estrogen, progesterone, and/or testosterone.

If your joints have started aching more in midlife — stiffness in the morning, knees that protest on the stairs, a shoulder that hurts for no clear reason — your hormones may be more involved than you think.

Estrogen DetoxificationEstrogen is critical for women’s health. Yet, the conversation tends to focus on estrogen production, levels, and balance. We don’t hear much about what happens to estrogen after we use it. Still, estrogen detoxification is another crucial piece to the estrogen conversation and helps women achieve optimal hormonal health..
Worried about weight gain in menopause?
Do the strategies that used to help manage your weight, such as eating less and increasing cardio, no longer work?
Weight gain is a common complaint of menopause and has a lot to do with hormonal changes. After menopause, you experience lower levels of estrogen and are more prone to the weight gaining effects of high cortisol and insulin resistance.
The good news is that there is a lot within our control to support hormonal balance that boosts metabolic health, even in menopause.
