Throughout the natural aging process as we mature, our bodies change and we develop certain deficiencies that occur due to metabolism changes and genetics. Various chronic or persistent symptoms arise, that we attribute to “old age” – when, in fact, these conditions and symptomatic results are caused by over/under glandular activity. Hormones decline as we age, and bio-identical hormone therapy replaces the hormones that your body needs to function. Bio-identical hormones are exactly the same (molecule-by-molecule) as the hormones that are present in the human body.
When a woman reaches menopause, the production of estrogen and progesterone significantly decreases. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a means to replace these hormones that are no longer being adequately produced by the body. This type of therapy is usually commenced at menopause, or may be started while a woman is nearing menopause (the peri-menopausal phase). HRT is not medically-advised for all women, so it’s crucial that the decision for treatment be made and determined on an individual basis after a complete review and consultation of your medical history.
In recent years, the dynamic of replacing and correcting women’s hormonal levels have allowed us to further understand the delicate inter-relationship between hormones and various conditions, and the important role that hormones play in correcting various physical disorders. New, combination therapies that utilize natural supplements in conjunction with HRT, have proven effective to address and alleviate sleep, anxiety, and chronic fatigue disorders. The use of natural supplements now allows us to treat a disorder rather than to simply mask the symptoms through the use of prescription-only medications. Via feedback mechanisms, that may cause other health symptoms or health risks, we have learned that some protocols may simply not work for the patient.
