Hot flashes& depression and many other bad things will happen when estrogen is very low,as in or even before menopause. If she wants to stay young and eliminate all the symptoms of low estrogen then she needs to take estroneg but not the hourse urine type that gynecologists still prescribe. I only prescribe the BIO-IDENTICAL type which is safer. It is extracted from plants,mainly soy&yam but is identical to what humans make. If u need more info, email me shabanah @att.net
It might take a year or two -
She can get a prescription to clonidine and/or a SSRI to help with this.

She is having symptoms of hormone imbalance which can be managed even if she is afraid to take estrogen. Reduced estrogen levels are only part of the problem women experience as ovarian function declines. She needs a doctor who will work with to design an age management plan with which she is comfortable.
She will most likely not "regulate". She is low or completely missing her hormones which are integral for her mental and physical well-being. If she does not want to replace the hormones that she is missing, she may need other medications for the symptoms such as antidepressant medications to elevate her Serotonin, cholesterol lowering medications when her lipids elevate and medications to stop bone loss. Her weight will require increased exercise and less calories as her basal metabolic rate will slow. There are many non-hormonal medications for hot flashes as well as Homeopathy and acupuncture. She should see an MD trained in mid-life issues and specializing in Hormone replacement. She can discuss why she does not want HRT and alternative treatments.
