Hormones & Menopause - How PEMF and Terahertz Can Support Your Body Throughthe Transition

Menopause is a natural stage of life that marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycles, usually happening between the ages of 45 and 55. It's caused by a drop in the ovaries' production of estrogen and progesterone- two key hormones that regulate reproductive cycles and influence many systems in the body.

Before menopause, there's often a stage called perimenopause (starting in the early to mid-40s) when hormone levels begin to fluctuate.

This can bring on symptoms such as:

• Hot flashes and night sweats

• Mood swings, anxiety, or depression

• Sleep problems

• Weight gain and slower metabolism

• Brain fog or memory lapses

• Vaginal dryness and lower libido

• Joint pain and muscle stiffness

Once menopause is reached—defined as 12 months with no menstrual period—the lower hormone levels can increase the risk for certain health conditions:

Osteoporosis - Estrogen plays an important role in keeping bones strong by helping regulate bone remodeling and slowing bone breakdown. When estrogen drops, bone loss can speed up, making bones more porous and fragile. This increases the risk of fractures, especially in the hips, spine, and wrists.

Cardiovascular disease - Estrogen has a protective effect on blood vessels by helping them stay flexible and supporting healthy cholesterol levels. Lower estrogen after menopause can lead to stiffer arteries, higher LDL cholesterol, and increased plaque buildup-raising the risk for heart attack and stroke.

Urogenital atrophy - Estrogen helps keep the tissues of the bladder, urethra, and vagina thick, elastic, and well-lubricated. Without enough estrogen, these tissues can thin and weaken, leading to urinary urgency, leakage, dryness, and discomfort during intimacy.

Possible cognitive decline - Estrogen interacts with brain chemistry, influencing neurotransmitters like acetylcholine that support memory and thinking. A loss of estrogen may reduce this protection, and some women notice more brain fog, slower recall, or difficulty concentrating after menopause.

How PEMF and Terahertz May Help

While menopause is a natural process, supporting your body's overall health during this time is important. This is where PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields) and Terahertz frequency—like what is in our OlyLife P90 and P90+ foot platforms—may be helpful.

PEMF therapy delivers gentle pulses of energy that stimulate cellular activity and improve circulation. Better blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients reach your cells, which may:

• Support bone health by stimulating bone-building cells (osteoblasts) (1)

• Reduce inflammation in joints and muscles (2)

• Improve sleep and mood by influencing neurotransmitter balance (3)

• Support cardiovascular health by helping blood vessels relax and improving microcirculation (4)

A randomized, controlled trial in postmenopausal women found that PEMF for 40 sessions improved bone health in women with osteoporosis (1).

Terahertz frequency interacts with water molecules and biomolecules, potentially improving cellular hydration and supporting biochemical processes. While most terahertz research in this area is focused on hormone detection, it has been shown to measure estrogen and progesterone with high accuracy (5, 6) —highlighting its unique relationship with hormonal biomarkers in the body.

PEMF and Terahertz therapy, like what is in our P90 and P90+, may help by:

Promoting healthy blood flow and oxygen delivery - As we age, circulation can slow, and reduced estrogen after menopause can make blood vessels less tlexible. This can lead to cold hands and feet, slower healing, and reduced nutrient delivery to tissues. PEMF has been shown to improve microcirculation, while terahertz frequencies may influence water molecules at the cellular level, helping blood carry oxygen and nutrients more efficiently to every cell.

Reducing stiffness and discomfort - Joint and muscle aches often increase during and after menopause due to hormonal changes that affect connective tissue and inflammation levels.PEMF's gentle pulses can help reduce inflammation, ease muscle tension, and improve range of motion. Better hydration and circulation from terahertz therapy may also help tissues remain more supple and less prone to stiffness.

Encouraging better sleep and relaxation - Menopause-related sleep problems can come from hot flashes, night sweats, and hormonal imbalances affecting brain chemistry. PEMF has been linked to improved melatonin production and more balanced nervous system activity, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. Terahertz's potential to promote cellular balance may help calm the body and support deeper rest.

Supporting bones, joints, and overall vitality during and after menopause - Lower estrogen accelerates bone loss, which can weaken the skeletal structure and increase fracture risk. PEMF has been shown to stimulate osteoblasts (bone-building cells) and encourage healthy bone density. Combined with improved circulation and tissue health from terahertz, this can help women maintain strength, mobility, and energy as they age.
