HORMONE HARMONY

                                                WHAT ARE HORMONES?

Your hormones play a key role in your overall health and wellbeing.  They help control and regulate the complex systems of your body.  It is crucial for your hormones to be balanced with one another in order for you to feel your best and reach optimal health.  Think of your hormones like a symphony.  If your hormones are not in harmony you will experience undesirable symptoms. When they are in harmony you feel wonderful, healthy and well.  Keeping your hormones in harmony and at optimal  levels is critical for disease prevention and promotes health.  Hormonal imbalances can happen at any stage in your life as a result of aging, nutrition, environment factors and genetics.

                          WHAT ARE BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES? 

When the chemical structure of the hormone matches that of the hormone made by your own body it is referred to as a "bio-identical hormone (BIH)." If the hormone made is not a match  it is called a "synthetic hormone."  If your provider determines that you would benefit from hormone therapy replacement (HRT), choosing bio-idental hormones over synthetic hormones is the safest and most effective way to do so. Synthetic hormones do come with other risks and problems.  Also, one size does not fit all. By using Bio-identical hormones we are able to customize your natural hormonal therapy.  BIH's are the preferred method of Hormone Replacement Therapy. Not only can we achieve symptom relief with the re-balancing of your hormones, but there are other great health benefits as well. These include Bone production (prevents osteoporosis), Heart Health, Brain Health, Prevention of Memory Loss, Growth and Repair.  Studies show that those who use HRT live longer than those who do not.
