Natural Hormone Replacement

Many people experience unpleasant symptoms as they age or go through menopause. These symptoms may include fatigue, muscle weakness, reduced libido, dryness, hot flashes, and bone loss among others. To help ease the symptoms through life's transition, women and men often choose to go on hormone replacement medications. Unlike synthetic hormones, natural hormones are identical to those that the human body naturally produces. These hormones may include estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, and testosterone. A recent article published in the medical literature suggests conventional synthetic and equine hormone replacement therapy may increase the risk of breast cancer and heart disease. Many women find using natural hormones to be an effective alternative to conventional hormone replacement therapy. No increased risk of breast cancer or heart disease have been reported with using natural hormone replacement.

Additionally, there are many people who prefer natural thyroid hormone over the synthetic counterpart to treat their thyroid disease. Our medical doctor can assist you in determining whether natural hormones are right for you and which form would best treat your specific concerns.
