What Is Estrogen and Progesterone Health?
Estrogen and progesterone are produced primarily by the ovaries. They regulate reproductive function, metabolism, mood, brain health, bone strength, and immune balance.
Balanced levels support steady sleep, emotional stability, regular menstrual cycles, strong bones, and cognitive clarity. Estrogen drives growth, energy, and collagen production, while progesterone acts as a calming counterbalance, promoting restful sleep, reducing anxiety, and aiding recovery. Their harmony determines how well your body adapts to stress, regulates inflammation, and maintains emotional resilience.
Hormonal fluctuations begin as early as adolescence. Many teens and young women experience cycle irregularities or mood instability due to imbalances that go unchecked. Estrogen and progesterone reach peak levels in the 20s and 30s, but both begin to decline during the late 30s and 40s with the onset of perimenopause. By menopause, levels of both hormones drop significantly, triggering symptoms that affect brain function, bone density, metabolism, joints, and overall mood.
High estrogen with low progesterone, commonly known as estrogen dominance, can cause heavy or irregular periods, PMS, bloating, breast tenderness, irritability, anxiety, and weight gain. Estrogen dominance treatment often involves correcting progesterone levels and reducing hormonal overstimulation caused by stress, inflammation, or poor detoxification.
Low estrogen treatment becomes important when symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, bone thinning, memory issues, and reduced libido emerge. Similarly, low progesterone treatment can help address poor sleep, heightened stress response, mood swings, and hormonal migraines. Some patients also benefit from treatment for low progesterone when trying to conceive, especially if ovulation is inconsistent or miscarriages have occurred.
The ratio between estrogen and progesterone matters just as much as their absolute levels. When this ratio is off, even if lab results fall within the “normal” range, symptoms can still appear. Unfortunately, many conventional systems ignore this critical balance, treating one hormone in isolation without assessing how they interact with thyroid, insulin, testosterone, and cortisol.
When estrogen and progesterone are not in sync with other hormones, symptoms often persist or worsen. Clients are frequently given band-aid treatments, antidepressants, sleep aids, painkillers, or even hormone patches, without identifying the real imbalance. Left unaddressed, this dysfunction can contribute to accelerated aging, poor stamina, joint pain, brain fog, depression, digestive issues, immune problems, and metabolic resistance.
Many clients spend five to ten years misdiagnosed or ignored because their symptoms are seen as “normal aging” or are dismissed as stress or psychological. Standard labs often miss the deeper picture. The result is unnecessary suffering, multiple medications, and declining quality of life.
At Peak Health VIP, we use bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT)—formulations that are structurally identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. This approach allows for better absorption, fewer side effects, and more effective results compared to synthetic hormones, which can disrupt other systems.
We also go beyond surface-level testing, assessing estrogen and progesterone at the right point in your cycle and evaluating their ratio in context with a full panel that includes cortisol, insulin, thyroid, testosterone, and vitamin D. We also test gut function and nutrient status, since hormone health is deeply interconnected with digestion, detoxification, and metabolism.
With advanced diagnostics and our internationally award-winning VIP Biohacking Method, we create data-driven, customized treatment plans. Depending on individual needs, treatment plans may involve estrogen medication, progesterone medication, or approaches aligned with progesterone treatment for perimenopause or progesterone medication for endometriosis, where clinically appropriate.
Our goal is to restore hormonal rhythm, boost energy and mental clarity, and support lasting physical and emotional resilience—so you can finally feel fully yourself again.
Who This Is For
You hold yourself to high standards. You exercise, eat well, and try to stay balanced. But something feels off.
Your moods shift unexpectedly, your sleep is disrupted, your cycle feels unpredictable or intense, and you feel bloated, inflamed, or disconnected from your body. Despite doing everything right, your hormones aren’t working, and this is affecting your energy, focus, and quality of life.
This is for you if:
- You feel irritable, anxious, or emotionally reactive without a clear cause.
- Your periods are irregular, heavy, painful, or missing.
- You experience bloating, breast tenderness, or low libido.
- You feel exhausted but wired, especially before or during your cycle.
- You’ve been told everything looks “normal,” but still feel off.
We Help People Who
- Are tired of being given antidepressants, birth control, or vague advice that misses the root cause of their concerns.
- Are experiencing symptoms that are linked to low progesterone, high estrogen, or hormone imbalances.
- Are ready to understand their unique hormone rhythm and feel mentally and physically strong again.
If your mood, sleep, and energy feel unpredictable and you want a deeper, personalized approach to estrogen and progesterone health, then this is for you.
4-Step Hormone Optimization Method
You don’t need another anxiety pill. You don’t need to push harder to function.
You deserve to feel like you again.
True hormone optimization begins with cortisol, the master regulator. When cortisol is out of sync, it disrupts thyroid, insulin, and sex hormones. That’s why we start here, restoring balance from the ground up.
Step 1:
Comprehensive Hormone Mapping (Advanced Testing)
We begin with in-depth hormone testing to identify what drives your symptoms.
Dr. Mark’s methodology:
- Precision saliva testing for cortisol (processed by a U.S. lab).
- Blood testing for thyroid, insulin, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
You benefit from:
- A complete hormonal map tailored to your symptoms.
- Clear identification of energy, mood, metabolism, and sleep disruptors.
- A data-driven foundation for your personalized treatment plan.
Step 2:
Rest Stress (Cortisol Regulation)
Chronic stress disrupts adrenal function, which throws off your entire hormonal system. We begin by stabilizing cortisol, the body’s master stress hormone.
Dr. Mark’s methodology:
- Precision saliva testing for cortisol (processed by a U.S. lab).
- Targeted supplements and prescriptions.
You benefit from:
- Restored morning energy.
- Reduced anxiety and irritability.
- Better focus and emotional regulation.
- A balanced hormonal foundation.
Step 3:
Restore Metabolic Dysfunction (Thyroid & Insulin)
Next, we target your metabolic hormones (thyroid and insulin), which are both essential for energy, weight regulation, and mood.
Dr. Mark’s methodology:
- Bioidentical thyroid support.
- Insulin balancing through nutrition and targeted supplementation.
You benefit from:
- A reactivated metabolism.
- Reduced sugar cravings and fatigue.
- Sustainable weight loss.
- Improved blood sugar stability.
Step 4:
Rebalance Sex Hormones (Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone)
Finally, we address the female sex hormones by bringing them back to their optimal levels.
Dr. Mark’s methodology:
- Customized hormone plans based on your lab markers.
- Topical, oral, or bioidentical hormones.
You benefit from:
- Reduced mood swings and irritability.
- Deeper sleep and sharper focus.
- Improved libido and vaginal comfort.
- Feeling like yourself again—strong, radiant, and in control.

The Truth About Estrogen, Progesterone, and Feeling “Off” Even When Labs Say “Normal”
Too many clients come to us after being told:
- “Your hormone levels are fine for your age.”
- “It’s just perimenopause or menopause. Live with it.”
- “Try birth control or antidepressants.”
- “It’s probably just stress.”
- “Your symptoms are common; it’s nothing serious.”
- “There’s nothing more we can do.”
Here’s what Traditional Care offers you:
| Basic Hormone Panels | Miss timing, ratio, and the interplay with other systems |
| “Normal” Lab Results | Ignore the fluctuations and root imbalances causing symptoms |
| One-Size-Fits-All Prescriptions | Such as birth control or HRT, often given without proper testing |
| Pills for Symptoms | Mood stabilizers, sleeping pills, and appetite suppressants instead of solutions |
| “Just Cope With It” Mentality | Leaves you stuck with fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and frustration |

Frequently Asked Questions – Estrogen and Progesterone Health
What are the signs of low estrogen and progesterone in women over 30?
Symptoms may include fatigue, brain fog, irregular periods, poor sleep, low libido, anxiety, and unexplained weight gain, especially after age 35, when hormone levels naturally begin to decline. These may indicate the need for low estrogen treatment or low progesterone treatment, depending on your hormone profile.
How do I know if my estrogen and progesterone are out of balance?
If you feel “off” but your labs appear “normal,” you may have a hormone ratio imbalance that standard testing overlooks. This is especially common in women in their 30s and 40s, and during perimenopause, when hormone fluctuations become more pronounced.
What causes estrogen dominance, and how can I fix it naturally?
Estrogen dominance may be caused by chronic stress, environmental toxins, poor gut health, or low progesterone. Our approach to estrogen dominance treatment includes advanced diagnostics, lifestyle and nutrition strategies, and bioidentical hormone therapy tailored to your needs.
Can low progesterone cause anxiety, poor sleep, and PMS?
Yes. Low progesterone affects the brain’s calming pathways and sleep regulation. This often manifests as irritability, insomnia, mood swings, and worsening PMS symptoms. In some cases, progesterone medication or treatment for perimenopause may be considered.
What is the best way to test estrogen and progesterone levels?
The most accurate way to assess hormone balance is through properly timed testing, ideally between days 19 and 21 of your cycle. This captures the key window when both estrogen and progesterone should be at optimal levels.
How does perimenopause affect estrogen and progesterone levels?
During perimenopause, typically in your late 30s to 40s, progesterone levels decline first, followed by estrogen. This hormonal shift often triggers anxiety, cycle irregularities, hot flashes, and fatigue, well before menopause officially begins.
What are natural treatments for estrogen and progesterone imbalance?
We offer a multi-layered approach to hormone support. This may include adrenal regulation, gut and nutrient restoration, and bioidentical hormone therapy, which can support low progesterone treatment, low estrogen treatment, or high estrogen treatment depending on your lab results.
Can estrogen or progesterone imbalance affect libido and fertility?
Yes. Low estrogen can reduce vaginal lubrication and arousal, while low progesterone may interfere with ovulation and increase the risk of miscarriage. Treatment for low progesterone when trying to conceive may involve nutritional strategies, lifestyle support, and, when appropriate, progesterone medication.
What is the difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the ones your body naturally produces. They are typically better absorbed and associated with fewer side effects compared to synthetic versions, making them a core part of our hormone balance therapy approach.
Why do some doctors miss hormone imbalances even when bloodwork is normal?
Most conventional providers test hormone levels at the wrong time in the cycle or only check a limited panel. Without understanding the full hormonal picture, including ratios and interplay with cortisol, thyroid, and insulin, key drivers of symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, and weight gain can go undetected.
