Symptoms of the reproductive and menopausal years:
• Breast pain and/or tenderness
• Cysts and lumps (breast, uterine)
• Fibrocystic breasts
• Depression / insomnia
• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Hot flashes
• Weight gain
• Brain fog
Female Hormone Markers:

Why is male sex hormone balance important?
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and is released in pulses throughout the day. After 35, free testosterone becomes less available. Low testosterone levels or high stress in men’s early 20’s or 30’s may cause symptoms similar to going through the natural decline of testosterone.
