Low Estrogen Symptoms
Low levels of estrogen can create a laundry list of symptoms. From head to toe, things just don't feel right.
But many women are taught that it's just a part of getting older, it's normal, and it's not enough of a problem to warrant a treatment.
Gaslighting at its finest.
Because hormones are active in practically every cell of the body, even low range estrogen can cause symptoms in EVERY area of the body.
To boot, research shows that estrogen has approximately 400 different functions in the body! Everything from keeping the brain healthy, to maintaining bone density, to lubricating joints, to keeping fat from growing at the belly area, to supporting bile flow, to maintaining a healthy urinary system. And on and on and on.
So, if you are experiencing any of the following, ask your physician for salivary estrogen testing (the salivary part is very important as blood levels do not provide bioavailable/active hormone levels).
Symptoms of low estrogen:
Insomnia
Weight gain (especially around the belly)
Dryness of the hair and skin
Dryness of the mouth
Vaginal dryness
Chronic urinary tract infections
Chronic vaginal infections like yeast and bacterial vaginosis
Indigestion
Brain fog/poor cognition
Low energy
Joint pain
Thinning hair
Irritability
Anxiety

You are not crazy. It's not all in your head.
You deserve to get back to feeling like yourself again.
