IF YOU’RE 40+ AND IN PERIMENOPAUSE…
YOU MIGHT WANT TO BE USING THIS CREAM
If you’re in your 40s and starting perimenopause… this is the hormone your body is quietly losing.
Here’s why: estrogen levels start fluctuating and declining in perimenopause, which impacts your brain, skin, metabolism, and vaginal/urinary tissues.
Estradiol is your most powerful estrogen. It supports brain function, mood, sleep, bone density, and cardiovascular health.
And the decline starts earlier than most women are told. Ovulation becomes inconsistent → estrogen becomes erratic → symptoms show up years before your period stops.
Topical estradiol or Bi-Est (estradiol + estriol) can be a really effective option. Transdermal delivery bypasses the liver and can provide more stable hormone levels with fewer systemic side effects.
Research shows estrogen therapy supports bone density, cognitive function, and reduces genitourinary symptoms in midlife women. (Sources pinned.)
Not all estrogen is the same:
Estradiol (E2) = most potent, systemic effects
Estriol (E3) = gentler, often used in combination (Bi-Est)
And if you still have a uterus… progesterone is not optional — it protects your uterine lining.
Ask about: estradiol levels (not just “normal,” but optimal for your symptoms) and whether topical estradiol or Bi-Est is appropriate for you.
Consider this if you’re dealing with sleep issues, anxiety, brain fog, vaginal dryness, recurrent UTIs, or cycle changes.
That’s all for now!
