Bioidentical Hormones for PMDD
For years, women with PMDD have been told to “just deal with it” or prescribed antidepressants as the default solution. But recent research highlights the critical role of hormone imbalances—particularly estrogen and progesterone fluctuations—in triggering PMDD symptoms. Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT), customized to each woman’s body, provides a targeted and natural approach that regulates hormone levels and stabilizes mood, energy, and overall well-being.
