What do hormones do in my body, and why do I feel so different in menopause?

Your entire life, hormones have been orchestrating your reproductive system, your mood, your energy, your very sense of self. Estrogen receptors exist throughout your entire body, in your brain, your gut, your skin, your bones, your heart. When these hormones fluctuate and eventually decline, it impacts everything, especially the neurotransmitters that regulate your emotions, your pleasure and your motivation. When you don't feel like yourself during menopause, your body is speaking to you.
