Estrogen is Awesome Part 1

Today's episode is all about estrogen and why it's awesome for women. It's important to know the information shared here, whether it impacts you as a woman directly or you have women in your life who could benefit from this knowledge. Estrogen is important for men too, which will be covered more in future episodes. If you're a woman, estrogen is your body's best friend—especially for the first 40 years (and potentially later, if using hormone replacement therapy). Estrogen is the essence of femininity. It's what makes a woman a woman—her sexuality, fertility, and ability to bear children.  There are some misconceptions about estrogen, but the truth is estrogen is only negatively impactful when it's not balanced correctly. Every hormone in the body plays a part in the larger endocrine system, so balance—especially with testosterone and progesterone—is crucial. As a woman, you're able to ovulate, be fertile, birth children, and nourish them thanks to estrogen. Your desire to have sex and be intimate is also linked to the presence of estrogen in your body. It influences your brain and psychology. If you're suffering from a very low level of estrogen, you will likely notice the effects in these areas of your life. Your estrogen levels also influence your mental health. It's vital to a woman's stable mood. In fact, there are mood changes like PMS, PMDD, postpartum depression, and post-menopausal depression, all of which are affected by levels of estrogen. Because estrogen has such a profound impact on a woman's overall health, it's worth it for most women to explore hormone replacement therapy as estrogen declines.   Connect with Dr. Cernaianu https://www.herabeautyandwellness.com/ https://www.instagram.com/herabeautyandwellness/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Hera-Healthcare-Mirela-Cernaianu-MD/100063462643162/
