Choosing between estrogen and testosterone therapy depends on your biological sex, hormonal profile, symptoms, and health goals.

• Estrogen therapy is commonly used for women experiencing symptoms of perimenopause or menopause—such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings.
• Testosterone therapy may be indicated for both men and women, particularly in cases of fatigue, low libido, muscle weakness, or mood changes associated with low testosterone levels.

What to Consider:

• Your lab results (e.g., serum hormone levels).
• Symptoms you're experiencing (low energy, mood, weight changes, etc.).
• Medical history (especially cancer, clotting disorders, cardiovascular risk).
• Goals of therapy: Are you seeking cognitive clarity, libido support, or metabolic balance?

Your naturopathic doctor will guide you with personalized hormone balancing using bioidentical options, functional testing, and regular monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness.
