The older we get the more RISKS we have when we ignore the signs of Declining Hormones.

What You Should Know About Your Hormones by Decade

In Your 40s — The Transition Begins
Your 40s are often the first decade where hormonal shifts make themselves known. This is the start of perimenopause for many women, when progesterone levels begin to drop before estrogen does. You may notice changes in sleep, mood, menstrual cycles, weight gain around the midsection, or increased anxiety and irritability. These changes aren’t random — they’re signals that your endocrine system is starting to shift. Supporting your hormones early in this stage can help reduce the severity of symptoms later and protect your long-term bone, brain, and heart health.

In Your 50s — Menopause & Major Hormonal Decline
For most women, menopause occurs in the early 50s. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels decline more significantly, which can lead to hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, vaginal dryness, memory changes, sleep disturbances, and slower metabolism. This is also when risks for bone loss, cardiovascular changes, and weight gain increase. Hormone balance during this decade isn’t about “anti-aging” — it’s about maintaining quality of life, brain clarity, energy, and long-term health.

In Your 60s — Long-Term Balance & Protection
By your 60s, your body has settled into its post-menopausal hormone state, but that doesn’t mean hormones stop mattering. Declining estrogen affects bone density, joint health, skin elasticity, and brain protection. Testosterone and DHEA also influence energy, muscle tone, and cognitive function. Supporting your hormones during this stage can help maintain mobility, protect against osteoporosis, support memory, and keep inflammation low — all critical for healthy aging.

In Your 70s — Hormones & Healthy Longevity
In your 70s, hormone balance becomes more about preserving independence, mental clarity, and resilience. Estrogen plays a protective role in the brain and cardiovascular system, while DHEA and testosterone contribute to muscle strength, balance, and overall vitality. Cognitive health, immune health, and bone protection are especially important in this decade. Thoughtful hormone support, along with nutrition and lifestyle changes, can significantly improve quality of life and reduce the risk of frailty.

Past 60 and Never Used Hormones?

Estrogens affect our skin thickness, wrinkle formation, and our skin’s moisture. Estrogens do this by increasing substances in the skin called glycosaminoglycans.

You may have heard of something called Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid is an example of glycosaminoglycans, which helps retain moisture in your skin.

Estrogen also increases collagen production in the skin, which helps with the thickness of our skin.

Together, glycosaminoglycans and collagen help keep our skin plump, hydrated and wrinkle-free. As our estrogen levels decline, our skin gets thinner and dryer and we notice increased fine lines, wrinkles and an appearance of less fullness. Estrogen also helps our hair grow and appear healthy and nourished with moisture just as it does with our skin. Unfortunately, if you experience a sudden drop in your estrogen levels at menopause, you may also experience an unusually high amount of hair loss all at once.

The Energy-Hormone Connection

As we move through perimenopause and menopause, our hormones naturally shift. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone — and especially DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) — all play a major role in how we feel day to day.

DHEA is sometimes called the “mother hormone” because it’s a building block for both estrogen and testosterone — two hormones that help us feel vibrant, motivated, and alive.

When DHEA levels decline (as they do naturally after age 35):

Energy drops
Mood dips
Motivation fades
Muscle tone decreases
Sleep becomes less restorative
