WHAT: Cool your core, not just your skin.

WHY: Your core temperature controls your body's thermoneutral zone — the balance that keeps you comfortable.

HOW:
• Sip cool water to rehydrate
• Apply a cooling pad to pulse points (wrists, neck, forehead)
• Practice slow, deep breathing for 60 seconds
• Adjust room airflow for optimal comfort

Hot flashes or night sweats, which one throws off your rhythm the most?

Both of these symptoms come from the same root cause: changes in your body's thermoregulation as estrogen levels shift. When estrogen drops or fluctuates, the part of your brain that manages temperature (the hypothalamus) becomes more sensitive. Small changes in your environment, like a warm room, stress, or even a spicy meal, can suddenly trigger a heat surge or a middle-of-the-night temperature spike.

Hot flashes often show up as a sudden wave of heat rising through your chest, neck, and face. Night sweats are similar but happen while you sleep, leaving you drenched, uncomfortable, and wide awake at 2 or 3 AM. Both can impact your mood, energy levels, and the quality of your day.

The important thing? Your experience is real, and you are not imagining it. These symptoms are common, but they are also manageable with the right support, lifestyle adjustments, and guidance.

Save this post for your next 3AM wake-up, and remember you are not alone in this journey.

Many people are told that compounded “bio-identical” hormones are more natural, safer, or more effective — but the research doesn’t support these claims.

Compounded products may have inconsistent dosing and are not required to report side effects. FDA-approved options, on the other hand, have known safety profiles.

👉 What’s one claim or myth you’ve heard about hormone therapy?

11/25/2025

You deserve hormone therapy that’s safe, consistent, and grounded in real research.

Here’s the truth:
✔ FDA-approved bio-identical hormones are regulated, tested, and monitored for safety.
✔ Compounded hormones are custom-made, but doses can vary from batch to batch—and side effects aren’t required to be reported.
✔ There’s no evidence that compounded BHT is safer, more natural, or more effective.

At Phases Clinic, we provide menopause care where science meets compassion. Always.

Confused about bio-identical hormones? The term is often used to imply that compounded versions are more natural, safe, or effective — but there’s no scientific evidence to support those claims.

Swipe to see what research actually shows about FDA-approved vs compounded hormone therapy, and why inconsistent dosing in compounded products can affect safety and effectiveness.

✨ At Phases Clinic, we rely on the latest evidence to guide your care and prioritize FDA-approved hormone options with established safety and consistency. Although we prescribe compounded hormones for allergies and special cases, they're rarely our go to.
