Quality sleep is imperative to good health and it’s a common theme that’s come up recently with patients.

We’ve seen overwhelming research in the last decade that has pointed to the significance of air purifiers in the bedroom and their effect on inflammatory molecules and stress hormones. We know that if you’re purifying your air, there’s a strong reduction in your catecholamines like epinephrine and Nora-nephron.

Adding an air purifier is one thing you can do to help restore your sleep.

💤 Mouth-taping can also be a game-changer if you can breathe clearly through your nose.

✅ How to do it safely:
* Use medical tape or purpose-made mouth tape
* Try it during the day to ensure you have open airways
* Start with a small vertical strip (not fully sealed)

🚫 Do NOT tape if you:
* Have untreated sleep apnea
* Have nasal obstruction
* Feel anxious or panicky with it

We recommend seeking advice from your medical professional if you have questions.

Low estrogen is a hallmark of the menopausal transition (perimenopause) and menopause itself. Estrogen doesn’t just affect periods—it influences the brain, bones, heart, skin, joints, metabolism, and more. As levels drop and fluctuate, many systems feel the change.

Estrogen helps:

💚 Regulate serotonin and dopamine (mood and motivation)

💚 Maintain collagen in skin, joints, and blood vessels

💚 Protect bones by slowing breakdown

💚 Support insulin sensitivity and fat distribution

💚 Keep vaginal and urinary tissues thick and healthy

When estrogen drops, these systems lose some of that protection.

By optimizing bioidentical hormones, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy helps relieve menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, weight gain, reduced bone density, and night sweats.

At BioLounge, we offer a variety of hormone replacement therapy options, including compounded, bioidentical hormones, injectables, and pellet implants to effectively control hormone levels women who are struggling with hormone imbalance.

Our providers work to educate each patient about their hormone therapy options so you can decide which treatment plan is right for you.

What if testosterone therapy could reduce your chances of breast cancer?

There are several studies that suggest it could do just that.

While many women are familiar with estrogen and progesterone, more than 80 years of research has proven that testosterone is a critical hormone for women that can significantly improve quality of life while preventing disease.

In addition to cancer prevention, other benefits include:

✨ Energy & mental clarity

🎭 Emotional well-being

♥️ Sexual function

🦴 Muscle mass and bone health

REPOST: One question keeps coming up: Does menopause hormone therapy (MHT, formerly HRT) prevent Alzheimer’s disease?

There’s a lot of understandable confusion, so let’s take a calm, science-first look at what we actually know:

1️⃣ For women who experience early menopause, especially following surgery, starting estrogen therapy early on can support cognition, mood, and more. This is part of current professional guidelines.

2️⃣ The Women’s Health Initiative remains the only clinical trial that tested MHT for dementia prevention. It was done over 20 years ago, in women aged 65+. The trial showed an increased risk of dementia (not specifically Alzheimer’s) with oral conjugated equine estrogens (CEE) plus medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), and no significant change with estrogen alone. These results cannot be generalized to other formulations or to women starting therapy at midlife. (Or to Alzheimer’s, btw)

3️⃣ Preclinical research consistently shows benefits when MHT is initiated at the time of menopause, not decades later.

4️⃣ Pooled data from observational studies show that starting MHT in midlife, mostly estrogen only therapy, is associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia. That’s consistent with guidelines. Note-observational studies cannot prove cause and effect (this is very important!).

THEREFORE: We need to rigorously test whether MHT started in midlife can reduce
Alzheimer’s risk.

This is a real scientific question - open, urgent, and answerable with the right tools.

More science is coming. Specifically, CARE - designed and directed by - is a program dedicated to hormonal aging, menopause, and Alzheimer’s risk in women. It’s using state-of-the-art biomarkers, brain imaging, and multi-site datasets to rigorously test, among other things, whether hormonal interventions can reduce Alzheimer’s risk.

More answers, grounded in evidence, are on the way.
