March is Women’s History Month—a time to celebrate, recognise, and uplift the achievements of women throughout history. It’s also the perfect opportunity to shine a spotlight on an issue that holds much significance: women’s health.
Women’s health plays a crucial role in ensuring that individuals can thrive both personally and professionally.
That’s why Benefits Cloud, in partnership with YorkTest, is committed to supporting the wellbeing of employees through accessible health solutions. This month, we’re proud to feature YorkTest’s latest webinar on female hormones and their impact on overall wellbeing.
Understanding Female Hormones
Hormones are powerful chemical messengers that regulate nearly every bodily function. For women, key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone work in delicate balance to influence everything from energy levels to cognitive function.
Throughout a woman’s life, her hormones can undergo significant shifts:
- Menstruation: Monthly cycles trigger fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone, affecting energy, mood, and concentration.
- Pregnancy: Dramatic hormonal changes support fetal development while often causing significant physical and emotional changes.
- Perimenopause: The transitional years before menopause can bring unpredictable hormonal shifts.
- Menopause: Decreasing estrogen levels lead to significant changes affecting everything from bone density to cardiovascular health.
These natural transitions affect more than physical health. From more difficulty concentrating to lower energy levels, hormonal changes can significantly influence a woman’s day-to-day functioning and wellbeing.
