Chances are, if you’re in your perimenopausal or menopausal years, you’ve had your fair share of sleepless nights. I know I have. And most of my clients and patients have too.  Sleep is critical for hormone balance. Hormones are made when we sleep.  Hormones are detoxified when we sleep. Sleep affects ALL of our hormones, so we need to prioritize a good night’s sleep. 

The vagina, vulva, urethra, bladder, and pelvic floor muscles are loaded with estrogen receptors. When estrogen declines, these organs and tissues are no longer exposed to estrogen. Women wind up with vaginal atrophy, loss of elasticity, thin tissue, changes in vaginal pH, and changes in the vaginal microbiome.
