Estrogen

Estrogen is an important hormone for men’s health, and artificially blocking it is usually unnecessary or ill-advised. Often, there are better, healthier, and more effective ways to improve the symptoms of low testosterone.

Most people understand that testosterone is critical for men’s development and lifelong health. The impact of estrogen, however, is often overlooked, potentially leading you to struggle with disruptive symptoms without understanding their source.

Many women look toward over-the-counter natural estrogen cream for relief; it’s fast, easy, and looks appealing. But the benefits of natural estrogen cream that you can buy OTC are few and far between.

By recognizing the symptoms of estrogen deficiency, you can ensure that you get the support you need to restore balance and find relief. What’s more, it could help you protect your long-term health.

Bioidentical estrogen therapy can be life-changing, but using it doesn’t have to mean disrupting your life. While some methods still require daily administration, newer treatment options offer convenient, longer-acting alternatives while still delivering effective benefits. In particular, subcutaneous hormone pellets and transdermal patches allow you to set it and forget it—up to a week at a time with the patches, and up to six months at a time with the pellets. But how do you know which is right for you?

Most people know estrogen as the female hormone most closely associated with menopause, as menopause results from decreasing estrogen levels. What people don’t often realize is that estrogens (including estrone, estradiol, and estriol) are multi-function molecules that exist in women, men, and animals and impact all systems of the body. Estrogen does facilitate major functions within the reproductive and endocrine systems, but this powerful hormone carries many more far-reaching implications for overall health.
