Loss of Muscle Mass or Strength in Women:
Restore with Hormone Therapy
Have you noticed that everyday tasks like carrying groceries or climbing stairs feel more difficult? Are your workouts leaving you feeling weaker instead of stronger? If you've observed a decline in your muscle tone or physical strength, even while staying active, it's not just a sign of "getting older."
At EVEXIAS Health Solutions, we understand that the gradual loss of muscle tissue and strength (a condition known as sarcopenia) is often a direct result of hormonal imbalances. With the right expert care, this process is not only treatable but often reversible. Using the proven EvexiPEL® Method and our nationwide network of expert providers, we help women identify the root cause of their muscle loss and create personalized strategies to restore strength, tone, and physical confidence.
Signs and Symptoms of Hormone-Related Muscle Loss
Muscle loss doesn't always show up on the scale, but it deeply affects how you feel, move, and function. Watch for these common signs:
- Decreased Physical Strength: Difficulty lifting objects that were once easy to manage
- Reduced Stamina: Feeling fatigued much more quickly during physical activity or daily chores
- Changes in Body Shape: Noticing a "softer" appearance, with less definition in your arms, legs, and abdomen, even if your weight hasn't changed
- Slower Recovery: It takes longer to recover from workouts, and you experience more muscle soreness
- Balance and Stability Issues: Feeling less steady on your feet or experiencing a decline in your coordination
- Increased Aches and Pains: Weakened muscles provide less support for your joints, which can lead to more frequent aches
- A Feeling of Frailty: A general sense of being less physically capable or resilient than you used to be
Why Do Women Lose Muscle and Strength? The Hormonal Connection
Maintaining lean muscle requires more than just exercise; it depends on a precise balance of hormones, nutrients, and metabolic signals. When that balance is disrupted, your body can shift from a muscle-building state to a muscle-breakdown state.
Common hormonal root causes include:
- Low Testosterone: This is the most critical hormone for muscle synthesis in women. As testosterone levels decline with age, the body's ability to build and maintain lean muscle mass is significantly impaired
- Estrogen Decline: Estrogen plays a protective role in muscle health. The sharp drop during menopause is strongly linked to an acceleration in muscle loss and a decrease in strength
- High Cortisol: Chronic stress keeps cortisol levels elevated. Cortisol is a catabolic hormone, meaning it actively breaks down muscle tissue for energy, particularly when you're under prolonged stress
- Insulin Resistance: When your body doesn't use insulin effectively, it can hinder the process of muscle protein synthesis, making it very difficult to build or even maintain muscle
- Thyroid Dysfunction: Your thyroid regulates your metabolism, and an imbalance can suppress the energy production needed for muscle repair and growth
How EVEXIAS Health Solutions Helps Women Rebuild Muscle and Regain Strength
We don't use a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Our EvexiPEL-trained providers use precision diagnostics and the EvexiPEL Method to uncover what's disrupting your strength and develop a custom strategy to restore your performance, energy, and confidence.
Your personalized care plan to rebuild strength may include:
- A Thorough Consultation and Evaluation: We take the time to understand your symptoms, health history, activity level, and specific goals
- Comprehensive Hormonal and Metabolic Testing: Advanced lab work to assess your levels of testosterone, estrogen, DHEA, cortisol, thyroid hormones, and markers of insulin sensitivity
- A Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on your unique needs, your provider may recommend:
- Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Specifically optimizing testosterone and estrogen levels using the EvexiPEL pellet method to create an anabolic (muscle-building) environment
- Peptide Therapy: Utilizing specific peptides like Ipamorelin/CJC-1295 to naturally support your body's own growth hormone production, which aids in muscle repair and recovery
- Targeted Nutraceuticals: Ensuring you have adequate levels of protein, amino acids, vitamin D, and magnesium to fuel muscle function and growth
