Hormone Replacement

Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

Hormonal balance at mid-life may be the key to achieving better health and maintaining vitality for extended quality of life. For some women, they feel this balance has a price if they choose conventional synthetic hormone replacement therapy. The fear of breast and endometrial cancer, unwanted menstrual periods and the side effects that sometimes accompany the use of synthetic hormones often stops women from using these hormones. More and more women are choosing natural bio-identical hormones, as well as herbs, minerals, vitamins, diet,

exercise and lifestyle changes to achieve this balance.

Hormones change throughout a women’s life-cycle, from puberty to menopause. These hormonal changes can cause many problems and be most disruptive. Most women notice slight changes in their 30’s, with progressive complaints into their 40’s and 50’s:

• Missed or irregular periods,

• Increased fatigue,

• PMS, bloating, water retention,

• Emotional changes -- irritability and mood swings,

• Unexplained weight gain,

• Insomnia,

• night sweats,

• Hot flushes,

• breast tenderness,

• Vaginal dryness,

• reduced sexual desire (libido)
