Learn how finding balance with your hormones can change your life.

Many people, both men and women struggle with multiple symptoms from menopause to change in sex drive. Come see how making simple changes can realign your natural balance.

What is Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

Natural HRT is the replacement of hormones that are normally produced by the human body with hormones that are biologically identical (bio-identical) in chemical structure and function.

What is the importance of bio-identical chemical structures?

Only hormones whose molecular structure exactly match those produced by the body will reproduce the same effects. Synthetic hormones such as conjugated equine estrogens and medroxyprogesterone have estrogen and progesterone activity. But because they are not bio-identical they do not produce the same desirable effects as the human body’s own hormones and have an increased risk for side effects and adverse reactions.

Where do natural bio-identical hormones come from?

The sources of bio-identical hormones are soy plants or yams. Substances found in these plants are chemically processed in such a way as to produce hormones identical to those produced by the human body. Individuals “allergic” to soy can often use soy-derived products because the pharmaceutical grade hormones used are so pure. However, if there is a concern about allergy the yam-derived product can be used if the product is available from a yam source.

What are the bio-identical hormones?

The most common are estrone, estradiol, estriol, progesterone, testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and pregnenolone.

What are the goals of natural HRT?

• Manage the symptoms associated with the natural reduction of hormones produced by the body
• Maintain the benefits originally provided by the body’s own hormones
• Maintain a hormonal balance natural to the body
• Eliminate the side effects and adverse reactions produced by the synthetic, non bio-identical substances
