The time of life when a woman’s ovaries stop producing hormones and menstrual periods stop. Natural menopause usually occurs around age 50. A woman is said to be in menopause when she hasn’t had a period for 12 months in a row.

Sags and wrinkles are brought on by the structural proteins (collagen) and elasticity loss experienced by aging skin. Additionally, it loses its capacity to hold onto moisture, which causes greater dryness. Hormones are crucial for maintaining healthy skin. Reduced estrogen levels during menopause, especially in women, cause a loss in skin collagen and thickness.

Hormone therapy is a medical treatment that replaces your natural hormone production to help relieve the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. HRT does carry risks, and it’s quite difficult to balance all related hormones. Regular blood tests are required to maintain control and adjust dosages as needed. 

It is up to you and your doctor or nurse to decide how long you should use HRT; there is no predetermined time frame.

You can have more anxiety, despair, and mood swings if you abruptly stop using HRT. As there is a modest increase in the risk of stroke in women in the first six months after quitting treatment, it is not advised to stop and start HRT frequently.

Verelst Clinic Therapy is a NATURAL way to restore physiological levels of estrogen, as well as testosterone, which also drops with age, in women. Our therapy consists of combining hormone-sensitive ingredients with low dosages of DHEA supplementation, which provides benefits for both early and late postmenopausal women. In peri- and postmenopausal women, menopausal symptoms and midlife depression are reduced. Furthermore, our therapy has significant health benefits that go beyond simply alleviating menopausal symptoms. Notables are its beneficial effects on the bones, vagina, skin, and overall wellness and wellbeing. The effectiveness of our combined, hormone-sensitive ingredient formulation and DHEA supplementation is as effective as traditional estrogen and progesterone hormone replacement therapy, without the side effects and potential health risks seen with traditional HRT.

Your body naturally produces the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). DHEA aids in the synthesis of several hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone. Both hormones are strictly required in females. Early adulthood marks the peak of DHEA levels, which decline with age. Low DHEA levels result in weakness, exhaustion, lack of energy, mood changes, emotional disorders, irregular menstruation, low or non-existent sex drive, hair loss, and weight gain.
