Loss of estrogen during menopause is associated with symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, anxiety, depression, decreased libido, and vaginal dryness.

“menopause is also one day of your life it is that one day exactly one year after your last period but it represents the end of your ovarian function some of us call it ovarian failure ovarian sence but basically what separates males and females is many things separate us but in my world um we are born with all of our eggs we have 1 to two million at Birth by the time we're 30 most of us are down to about 10% maybe 120,000 by the time we're 40 we're down to 3% of our egg supply and the quality is declining as well so menopause is when you have no more eggs left and therefore no more sex hormone or very little sex hormone production from the ovaries so estradiol levels will decline less than 1% of your reproductive years your progesterone levels will decline as well testosterone declines for sure but we have other ways to produce it so it's somewhere 50% or less than your healthiest years”

“menopause is characterized by a variety of symptoms things like hot flashes things like mood swings things like headaches in particular migraine headaches there can be a lot of brain fog it can be very very disruptive for people”

“as we lose the estrogen we start to see hot flashes night sweats they get brain fog because of the lack of progesterone they develop anxiety they can get depression their sex drive goes down they get vaginal dryness because of the loss of estrogen”
