Estrogen is one of the two main sex hormones in women and is synthesized mainly in the ovaries and comes in three forms in the body: estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), and estriol (E3). Estradiol predominates between menarche and menopause and can be converted to testosterone via the enzyme aromatase. Menopause stimulates the production of estrone, whereas pregnancy increases estriol synthesis. Generally, estrogen stimulates cell growth and proliferation, as well as the development of female sex characteristics, reduction of muscle mass, and bone mass growth. Because of its influence on cell growth, estrogen alone has pro-cancer effects. Fortunately, its negative effects are countered by the second main female sex hormone, progesterone. Your levels of estrogen may decline rapidly during menopause and cause an acceleration of the aging process. You can’t prevent menopause, but you can prevent or alleviate symptoms of estrogen imbalance with Dr. Terlinsky’s Bioidentical Estrogen Replacement Therapy.
Your adrenal glands release cortisol continually if you are chronically stressed, resulting in elevated levels of cortisol. Over time, however, your adrenals become “fatigued” and can’t keep up with the constant demand for cortisol; eventually, you develop a cortisol deficiency. In a last-ditch effort to maintain normal levels of cortisol, the adrenal glands “steal” a precursor hormone called pregnenolone to make cortisol. This process prevents the synthesis of vital hormones like DHEA, progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone and contributes to the symptoms of adrenal fatigue.
Mainly caused by menopause, low estrogen levels, in an imbalance with progesterone, may produce symptoms such as:
