Role in the Body:
Estrogen is a key hormone in regulating the menstrual cycle, vaginal health, mood, bones, brain, and heart. Estradiol is the most active form of estrogen.

When Levels Are Low:
You may experience hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, memory lapses, or low libido.

When Balanced:
You feel more emotionally steady, your sleep improves, libido returns, and many menopause or perimenopause symptoms fade.

Role in the Body:
Though often labeled a “male hormone,” both men and women need testosterone for muscle tone, libido, motivation, and energy.

When Levels Are Low:
You might notice fatigue, decreased sex drive, low motivation, muscle weakness, or brain fog.

When Balanced:
You may feel stronger, more energized, have a healthy sex drive, improved mood, and better focus.

Role in the Body:
HCG acts similarly to luteinizing hormone (LH) in the body and plays a crucial role in stimulating the testes to produce testosterone. It is often used in men’s hormone therapy to preserve fertility, support testicular size and function, and maintain natural testosterone production, especially during or after testosterone replacement therapy.

When Levels Are Low (or LH is suppressed):
Without HCG, men on testosterone therapy may experience testicular shrinkage (atrophy), decreased sperm production, and fertility issues.

When Balanced/Used Appropriately:
With HCG, many men maintain a natural, fuller testicular appearance, support sperm production, and reduce testicular atrophy—leading to improved reproductive function and overall hormonal health.

Role in the Body:
Progesterone balances estrogen, supports sleep, reduces anxiety, and is essential for menstrual cycle regularity and fertility.

When Levels Are Low:
Symptoms may include anxiety, insomnia, irritability, irregular periods, PMS, or spotting.

When Balanced:
You'll likely sleep better, feel calmer, experience more regular cycles, and have reduced PMS symptoms.

Role in the Body:
Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, body temperature, energy, and weight. Support may involve T3, T4, or combination therapy based on labs and symptoms.

When Levels Are Low:
Common signs include fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, constipation, cold intolerance, or depression.

When Balanced:
You may feel energized, emotionally stable, warm (not cold), and able to maintain a healthy weight more easily.
