Could your estrogen dose be too low even if you’re already on hormone replacement therapy?
In this episode of Progress Your Health, Dr. Valorie Davidson and Dr. Robert Maki explain why low estradiol (estrogen) affects much more than hot flashes and night sweats.
Learn how symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, migraines, joint pain, weight gain, low libido, vaginal dryness, and dry eyes may all indicate that your estrogen dose needs to be evaluated. The doctors also explain why hormone therapy should be personalized, the differences between static and rhythmic dosing, and why symptoms should guide treatment instead of chasing a specific blood test number.

● How to recognize low estrogen symptoms
● Why hot flashes aren’t the only warning sign
● Brain fog and memory changes caused by low estradiol
