The Truth About “Estrogen Dominance”
People say it’s too much estrogen and not enough progesterone.
But here’s the twist — most of the time, it’s the opposite.
When estradiol is too low, the follicle never matures.
No ovulation → no corpus luteum → no progesterone.

Estradiol isn’t the villain.
It’s the starter key that helps your body even make progesterone — and the receptors that let it work.
So the problem isn’t “too much estrogen.”
It’s a loss of rhythm — a body that’s missing its natural hormonal sequence.
When we restore the rhythm, balance returns naturally.
That’s physiology — not dominance.

Rhythmic Hormone Dosing: Unlocking True Menopausal Relief
For women experiencing vasomotor symptoms, genitourinary changes, or bone loss, the timing and pattern of hormone delivery matters as much as the dose (Santoro, 2020; Stuenkel, 2015).

Key Advantages of Rhythmic Dosing:

Mimics natural estradiol and progesterone cycles, optimizing receptor priming and genomic signaling.

Supports bone density, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function more effectively than static dosing (Hodis & Mack, 2018).

Improves sleep, mood, and sexual well-being by restoring neurosteroid activity (Stanczyk, 2019).

Can safely use lowest effective doses with transdermal or oral administration.

Women without a uterus may safely receive unopposed estrogen; progestogens are unnecessary (NAMS, 2023).

Even for women over 60 or >10 years post-menopause, individualized rhythmic hormone therapy can be considered when benefits outweigh risks—offering symptom relief and systemic protection.

The Evolution of Hormone Therapy: From Risk to Safety
In the 1970s, early studies suggested that unopposed estrogen increased the risk of endometrial cancer, leading to widespread caution around hormone therapy (Grady et al., 1995).

Subsequent research revealed that combining estrogen with a progestin significantly mitigates this risk in women with an intact uterus, giving rise to what we now call “combined therapy” (Rossouw et al., 2002; Lobo, 2017).

This approach transformed the field, allowing women to safely benefit from hormone therapy once again—alleviating symptoms, protecting bone, and supporting overall well-being.

Hormone Therapy Has No Expiration Date
Contrary to outdated beliefs, there is no evidence that age 60—or even 65—should mark the end of hormone therapy. Both NAMS and ACOG emphasize that treatment should be individualized, not discontinued based solely on age (NAMS, 2023; ACOG, 2022).

Over 40% of women between 60 and 65 continue to experience vasomotor symptoms that affect sleep, cognition, and overall quality of life (Thurston et al., 2018). The loss of estradiol over time accelerates vascular decline and increases cardiometabolic risk—making earlier initiation and continued, physiologic restoration not only reasonable but protective (Manson et al., 2022; Hodis & Mack, 2018).

The evidence is clear: menopause care should evolve with the woman, not end because of her birthday.

Restore the rhythm that menopause steals.

Perimenopause and menopause disrupt cyclical hormone patterns, impacting cardiovascular health, bone density, cognitive function, and DNA repair. PHRT™ replicates these natural rhythms, optimizing progesterone and estradiol activity for systemic health (Stanczyk, 2019; Santoro, 2020).

✨ Perimenopause and menopause don’t have to mean decline.
Emerging evidence shows that physiologic hormone restoration can protect bone density, preserve mental clarity, enhance sexual drive, and even improve skin elasticity by restoring rhythmic estradiol and progesterone signaling (Stuenkel, 2015; Santoro, 2020; Stevenson, 2022).

Unlike static HRT, PHRT™ restores receptor priming and physiologic amplitude—unlocking the genomic and systemic benefits of hormonal balance.

The Challenge
🧬 Menopause changes everything.
Loss of estradiol and progesterone signaling impacts cognition, bone density, cardiovascular health, sexual function, and skin integrity (Stuenkel, 2015; Lobo, 2017).
👉 But static HRT isn’t enough.

The Science
📈 Receptors need rhythm.
Estradiol surges prime progesterone receptors, unlocking genomic repair and systemic protection. Without physiologic cycling, these benefits are blunted (Santoro, 2020; Stevenson, 2022).

The Solution
🌟 PHRT™ restores the natural blueprint.
By replicating monthly rhythms, PHRT reactivates hormonal signaling for brain, bone, heart, skin, and sexual health—empowering women to thrive beyond midlife.

🌙 Choosing Your Calendar
Getting started with hormone tracking begins with selecting the right calendar. Your choice sets the stage for precision in hormone restoration and cycle alignment. 🗓️✨

🌕 Lunar Calendar
Some evidence suggests that without modern light exposure, women may naturally cycle with the phases of the moon, with peak estradiol aligning with the full moon (Navarro, 2021).

If you’re not cycling, menopausal, post-hysterectomy, or don’t expect a period in the next 28 days, you can follow the Lunar Calendar, provided with your hormones from partner pharmacies—or print one from our site. 🌙

📅 – Personal Calendar
If you still have regular periods, use the Personal Calendar provided with your hormones—or create your own.

Day 1 = first day of your period

Not cycling, menopausal, or post-hysterectomy? You can start now using the Personal Calendar if your practitioner recommends it.

Aligning tracking with your cycle type helps optimize hormone timing, efficacy, and overall outcomes. 🔬💡
