Searching for Hormonal Harmony? |
Throughout a woman's lifetime, hormones mark known changes, both physiologic and observable. Although puberty is the most evident change, many hormonal changes are manifested with aging. Peri-menopause, Menopause and Post-menopause are periods in a woman’s lifetime that may produce symptoms from declining or changing hormone levels. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, loss of concentration, insomnia, irritability, etc.
When symptoms are hard to deal with and quality of life is important, women are left with having to make difficult decisions about taking hormones. Your doctor is a good person to ask about the choices you have in taking hormones or other alternatives. Hormone therapy is often a medicinal approach for the improvement of symptoms. In functional medicine it is one component of understanding the physiological processes that influence health and therefore act as an intervention for prevention of diseases, especially in the cardiovascular areas.

What Are Bio-Identical Hormones?
Not to be confused with natural "phyto" hormones, BioIdentical hormones are chemically derived from plants like yams and soy, and then reduced in their chemical structure to make them molecularly identical to those our body produces. Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, BHRT is an alternative treatment to synthetic hormones and may help restore balance during a woman's transition into their post-menopausal years. Depending on what your doctor thinks is suited for your individualized treatment, they can be made into creams, capsules, troches and sublingual drops.
