BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES
Bio-identical hormones are identical to the hormones found in your body. They are molecules that are usually derived from plants. The molecules are altered in structure to be absolutely the same as what your body makes. Unlike drugs, they are received by your body as something familiar. Simple and natural – we restore your natural balance so you can feel like you did in your prime.
The risks of side effects are extremely low to none.
You are not treated with drugs that are patented. In order to receive a patent; the molecule must not exist already. Hence a drug company will need to make the molecules of the drug different from what exists in your body. This is where the risk of side effects stems from – your body is receiving something foreign.
WHAT ARE HORMONES?
Hormones are chemical messengers that direct every function of your body. They are the ‘keys’ your cells need to to ‘unlock’ each function.
Your energy, metabolism, blood pressure, blood sugar level, your mood and memory; even your interest in things are all regulated by hormones. Without hormones, you would die.
Vitamin, mineral and enzyme levels need to be perfect for optimal hormone function.
This means that even with normal blood hormone levels, you could still have poor hormone function.
ARE HORMONES ONLY IMPORTANT FOR WOMEN????
NO!
We all hear about hormones being the reason that women ‘get that way’, and ‘go through the change of life’. PMS, mood swings, weight gain are all explained by women as ‘due to hormones’.
Rightly so! However, we can regulate and balance hormones and eliminate these symptoms. The dramatic changes of hormone levels in a woman is what makes it so obvious that something is occurring.
MEN
With men, the decline is so gradual that it is not noticed until much later in life.
Testosterone is the hormone that first comes to mind when we speak of male hormones. We attribute sex drive and muscles to testosterone.
Men have their highest testosterone levels in their 20’s. By the time they get to their late 50’s; men have about as much testosterone as a woman!
It is at around this time that men (and the people around them) notice that they are not quite the man he used to be’.
Muscle mass and strength are reduced; mental ‘edge’ and motivation are not as sharp. Sex drive and endurance wane. Weight starts to creep up around the middle. (Pot Belly; ‘love handles’.)
Most men will not even notice this change in themselves. When asked about ‘how are you’ or ‘how is your sex drive?’, they answer ‘normal’. However, when they are asked to compare to when they were twenty or thirty; it becomes quite apparent.
Stress hormone balance is important for both men and women to feel their best. Stress hormone imbalance is often the root cause of early aging, diseases of aging and why we seem to ‘fall apart’.
WHAT ABOUT THE BIG NEWS THAT HORMONES ARE BAD?
The large NIH study that was highly publicized looked at Premarin™ and Provera™.
Premarin™ comes from the urine of pregnant horses. (Pre-mar-in = Pregnant Mares Urine!)
Provera™ is an artificial molecule created to protect the uterus from cancer when a woman is treated with Premarin™. It mimics the effect of progesterone in the uterus BUT it offers no other benefits to the body that progesterone (what your body makes) offers.
The results of this study showed that by itself, Premarin™ was not as bad as when combined with Provera™.
The combination of these drugs increased the risk of breast cancer, heart disease, strokes and blood clots by such a degree that the study was terminated before it was completed.
This is no surprise that together, worse ‘damage’ was caused by two foreign substances that the human body has never had to deal with before.
