Hormone decline - Renew Medical Clinic

What is hormone decline?

Hormone decline is a natural process that occurs as we age. Our hormone levels begin to drop off in our 20s and 30s, leading to changes in our bodies and health. The main hormones that decline are testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, and growth hormone.

Some key signs of hormone decline include:

• Fatigue and low energy levels - As hormone levels drop, your metabolism slows down and energy takes a hit. You may feel tired all the time despite getting enough sleep.
• Loss of muscle mass - Testosterone helps maintain muscle mass. As it declines, you may notice it's harder to build and maintain muscle.
• Weight gain - With slowing metabolism and loss of muscle mass, you're more likely to put on extra pounds, especially belly fat.
• Low libido - Declining estrogen and testosterone leads to a drop in sex drive for both men and women. You may lose interest in sex entirely.
• Mood changes - Hormone imbalances can negatively impact mood. You may feel more irritable, anxious, or depressed.
• Sleep disturbances - Falling and staying asleep becomes more difficult with hormone decline. Hot flashes from dropping estrogen also disrupt sleep.
• Hair thinning - Estrogen supports healthy hair growth. As it drops, hair may become thinner and drier.
• Skin changes - Skin becomes drier and thinner with less collagen and elastin production. Wrinkles, age spots, and dullness are common.

The rate and severity of hormone decline is different for each person based on genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Things like stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and toxins accelerate the process.
