Addressing Women's Hormonal Health Across All Stages of Life
At Precision Health, we focus on addressing the root causes of hormonal imbalances throughout every phase of a woman's life, including Pre-Menopause, Perimenopause, and Post-Menopause. We recognize that women’s health is complex, but that should not mean their concerns are overlooked, as is often the case in many healthcare settings. It’s our belief that too many women are prescribed birth control, antidepressants, sleep aids, or ADD medications, without addressing the underlying hormonal issues at the heart of their symptoms. Worldwide, women’s healthcare has often been underserved in terms of optimization, and we are committed to helping correct this imbalance.
Every woman’s needs are unique, but the following information provides general guidance to help educate and shed light on these important issues.
Essential Hormones For Women
Testosterone is crucial for both men and women, though it is more prominent in men. In women, it helps with energy, muscle strength, bone density, and mood regulation. It also plays a key role in libido and cognitive function. Adequate testosterone levels help maintain a healthy body composition, improve motivation, and support overall vitality.
Estradiol is a primary female sex hormone, responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting reproductive health. It also helps maintain bone density, skin elasticity, and cardiovascular health. Adequate estradiol levels support mood stability, cognitive function, and vaginal health, including lubrication.
Progesterone works in conjunction with estradiol to regulate the menstrual cycle and support pregnancy. It has calming effects on the body, promoting relaxation and improving sleep. Progesterone also helps protect the lining of the uterus and supports healthy brain function and mood balance.
Pregnenolone is a precursor hormone that helps produce other hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol. It is often referred to as the "mother of all hormones." It plays a role in memory, cognitive function, neuroprotection and repair, mood stabilization, and overall vitality. Pregnenolone supports the production of other essential hormones, ensuring hormonal balance and health.
DHEA is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that serves as a precursor to both testosterone and estrogen. It helps support energy levels, mood, and immune function. DHEA also contributes to skin health, muscle mass, and bone density. As we age, DHEA levels naturally decline, and supplementation may help improve vitality and reduce the effects of aging
Thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) are essential for regulating metabolism, energy levels, and body temperature. They influence almost every organ system, including the heart, digestive system, and nervous system. Balanced thyroid hormones help maintain a healthy weight, regulate mood, support cognitive function, and promote overall vitality.
Growth hormone (GH) is vital for growth, cell repair, and metabolic function. It plays a key role in muscle growth, fat metabolism, and maintaining healthy bones and tissues. GH is also important for the repair of damaged cells and tissues, and its levels naturally decline with age. Adequate growth hormone helps maintain a youthful appearance, improve strength, and support overall well-being.
Our Philosophy
We believe women deserve the same opportunities for hormone optimization that men have received for decades. Every woman should be heard by a provider who understands her concerns and is eager to help.
