Before considering HRT, there are several lifestyle changes and natural remedies you can try at home:
Incorporate foods rich in phytoestrogens, such as soy products, flaxseeds, and whole grains. These can help in balancing hormone levels naturally.
Engage in regular physical activity to maintain a healthy weight and improve mood. Exercise also supports bone health.
