Can Hormone Supplements Keep You Healthier for Longer?
From apple cider vinegar shots to raw vegan cleanses to mouth taping, there’s always a new trend promising to give you more energy, better sleep, or the secret to eternal youth. But if we’re being honest, most of these fads fade as fast as they arrive. While it’s tempting to believe there’s one magical fix out there, the truth is, staying healthier for longer comes down to the basics: nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and yes, your hormones.
Unless you can turn back time like Cher or you're got a portrait stuffed in your attic like Dorian Gray, we have to rely on smart, science-backed steps to support our health for the long haul. And that’s where hormone supplements come in.
Now, we’re not saying hormone supplements are the fountain of youth, but we are saying there’s plenty of research showing how the right hormonal support can help you feel stronger, sharper, and more energised for as long as possible. At Hormones + You, we offer expert-prescribed hormone treatments tailored to your unique biology, whether you're dealing with PMS, low energy, poor sleep, or a dreaded dip in your libido.
So, let’s take a look at some of the hormone supplements we prescribe that can help you stay healthier for longer.
Testosterone
Testosterone is not just for protein crazed gym bros, one of your body’s most powerful tools for long-term health and it’s just as vital for women as it is for men.
As we age, testosterone levels naturally decline. This drop is linked to a loss of muscle mass, increased belly fat, weaker bones, and lower energy, all of which are associated with age-related health risks.
Supplementing with bioidentical testosterone can help:
Preserve your lean muscle mass, which is key to metabolic health and mobility
Improve bone density, reducing the risk of fractures
Support your heart health by improving blood flow and lowering inflammation
Keep energy, motivation, and vitality high
Muscle and bone strength aren’t just about looking fit - they’re closely tied to overall longevity and quality of life. Testosterone helps you stay strong, active, and independent as the years go on. At Hormones + You, we prescribe low-dose testosterone cream specially for women to help them rebalance their hormones and bring back their energy, libido and confidence.
Progesterone
If testosterone keeps your body strong, progesterone helps keep your mind calm. Often called your body’s natural calming hormone, progesterone plays a powerful role in lowering your stress levels and improving sleep which are two crucial pillars of your long-term health.
Why does this matter? Because chronic stress is often known as the silent killer linked to everything from high blood pressure and heart disease, to poor immunity and inflammation. And poor sleep? It increases your risk of diabetes, dementia, and depression.
Bioidentical progesterone can help:
Soothe the nervous system and reduce anxiety
Support deep, restful sleep by activating GABA receptors in the brain
Balance your estrogen levels, preventing hormone-driven insomnia, mood swings, and estrogen dominance
Reduce inflammation and support immune function
When you’re well-rested and less stressed, your body can repair, recover, and function at its best, day after day, (and year after year) keeping you healthier for longer.
DHEA
DHEA (short for dehydroepiandrosterone) is one of the most underrated hormones in your body and has been linked to some truly amazing benefits. Think of it as the originator of all hormones. It's the precursor that your body uses to make other hormones, including progesterone and testosterone. Like most hormones, it naturally declines with age. Low DHEA has been linked to fatigue, low immunity, poor muscle tone, and accelerated aging.
DHEA may contribute to:
Reduce stress and support adrenal health
Improve cognitive performance, memory, and clarity
Improve your immune system and reduce inflammation
Protect against age-related muscle and bone loss
Improve skin health and collagen production
Think of DHEA as your body’s hormonal foundation. Without it, everything from mood to immunity to metabolism can suffer. With it, your body has what it needs to maintain balance, and for you to feel tip-top!
