Optimal Hormones

hormones-pic-1Due to massive media coverage, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has sparked a large amount of controversy. Comments were made regarding health risks and negativity surrounded the women’s health initiative, which was halted eight years ago. As a result, many women were spun into confusion when trying to make informed decisions on their health.

We want to help clear up the chaos of confusion. To start, regarding the women’s health initiative, the media coverage that took place were only reporting on HRT, and based on Commercial HRT only. The product called PremPro, which is a combination of conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone, is what they are referring to when they speak about HRT.  

While there are alternatives, such as over the counter medications containing phytoestrogens or topicals with a low dose of progesterone, they only provide temporary relief. For long term results and benefits, the success lies in bioidentical, or bioequivalent, hormone replacement therapy.*

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a prescription based on plant-derived medications. Unlike conventional hormone replacement therapy, BHRT is chemically changed in a laboratory and made to match what your body would naturally produce. This means that BHRT is tailored to fit your body’s specific needs rather than a standard dosage.*
