Menopause
Hormonal Health
Aging to quickly can be due to a decrease in the ovaries and the adrenal glands' ability to produce adequate estrogen and progesterone. Hot flashes are caused by hormone imbalances. Hormone replacement remains questionable as it can increase the risk of uterine cancer, breast cancer and can triple the rate of heart disease.
