  • Balancing Act of Estrogen and Progesterone – How Can Technology Help?

    In women, estrogen and progesterone play opposite roles and influence every pivotal aspect of their life cycle, from puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and childbirth to menopause. Moreover, these hormones also play a vital role in regulating bone health, body weight, cardiovascular and cognitive functions, and metabolism of glucose and cholesterol. Their imbalance (estrogen dominance or progesterone degradation) can often lead to serious health issues such as cancer. Thus, monitoring and maintaining their levels is crucial. Compared to traditional blood-based methods, the new non-invasive methods available in the market enable easy detection of hormone imbalances at home.
