Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can effectively control symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, insomnia, vaginal dryness, and frequent urinary tract infections.

For decades, physicians have been prescribing Bio-identical. Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHT) for women who have experienced problems or have other concerns about the use of synthetic hormones.

WHAT ARE BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES?

Bio-identical hormones have the same chemical structure as hormones that are made by the human body. Structural differences that exist between human, synthetic, and animal hormones can be responsible for the side effects that are experienced when non-bio-identical hormones are used for replacement therapy. The term "bio-identical" does not indicate the source of the hormone, but rather indicates that the chemical structure of the replacement hormone is identical to that of the hormone naturally found in the human body.

Today's women prefer natural hormones. In a survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,009 women aged 40 and older, 83% said they would prefer to use hormones that are similar to their own body's hormones. Bio-identical hormones include estrone (E1), Estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), progesterone, testosterone, dehydroepiandrasterone (DHEA), and pregnenolone.

THREE TYPES OF HORMONES

ESTROGENS

  • May increase HDL "good" cholesterol and decrease LDL "bad" cholesterol
  • Helps to decrease blood pressure and reduce plaque formation on the arterial walls
  • May improve mood, energy levels. and sleep patterns
  • May reduce the risk of developing or the severity of type 2 diabetes
  • May improve memory and cognitive function
  • May reduce bone loss

The three principle estrogens in humans are estriol (E3), estradiol (E3), and estrone (E1). These hormones are often prescribed to various combinations to re-establish a normal pshysological balance.

In addition to  treating menopausal symptoms, BHRT has been shown to be effective in decreasing the risk of Alzheimer's Disease and colorectal cancer.

TESTOSTERONE

  • Enhance libido
  • Enhance bone building (increase calcium retention)
  • Provide cardiovascular protection (Lower cholesterol)
  • Improve energy level and mental alertness

Recently, attention has turned to the addition of the androgens, testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone(DHEA) to alleviate menopausal symptoms and further protect against osteoporosis, obesity, and diabetes.

PROGESTERONE

  • Is necessary during pregnancy for the maintenance of the uterine lining
  • May enhance the beneficial effect of estrogen on lipid and cholesterol profiles
  • Stimulates new bone growth
  • Helps to "turn off" estrogens

Mayo Clinic researchers surveyed 176 women taking natural micronized progesterone who had previously taken synthetic progestins. After one to six months, the women reported an overall 34% increase in satisfaction on micronized progesterone compared to their previous HRT, reporting these improvements: 50% reduction in hot flashes, 42% reduction in depression, and 47% experienced less anxiety.

Progesterone is commonly prescribed for perimenopausal women to counteract "estrogen dominance." Perimenopause is the time between the onset of changes in hormonal secretions and menopause, and is characterized by fluctuating hormones. Estrogen dominance occurs when a woman produces smaller amounts of progesterone relative to estrogen levels.

GOALS OF BHRT

  • Alleviate the symptoms caused by the natural decrease in production of hormones by the body
  • Give the protective benefits which were originally provided by naturally occurring hormones
  • Re-establish a hormone balance

BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE Pellet therapy was developed 80 years ago and is considered a safe and effective medical protocol for customized hormone replacement used worldwide.

RESULTS include an improved quality of life, increased sex drive, increased energy, improved mental clarity, increased muscle mass, decreased body fat, improved sleep and mood stability. As well as a reduced risk of osteoporosis, alzheimer's disease, heart disease, and diabetes.

THE PROCEDURE typically takes 10-15 minutes. This will deliver consistent hormone levels over an extended period of time, typically three to six months.
