Natural Hormone Replacement

Hormone replacement is not for everyone and there are many herbs, supplements and vitamins that can remedy perimenopause, menopause and andropausal symptoms.

The goal of hormone replacement is to replace hormonal deficiencies and create an optimal balance using hormones that are biochemically similar to the hormones that the human body makes naturally. These hormones are known as bioidentical hormones, they are compounded hormones that are customized for individual patients by specially trained pharmacists. These compounded hormones are the most natural form of hormone replacement for both men and women.

In women, hormones can become unbalanced as early as age 35, even if they are still having normal periods. Hormone imbalance can lead to fatigue, memory loss, dizziness and irritability as well as the typical symptoms associated with menopause such as night sweats and hot flashes and irregular menses. Other symptoms may include depression, fibromyalgia, insomnia, headaches, and low libido.

There are a wide range of hormone imbalances that can cause women to have these symptoms and more, it is not always due to estrogen deficiency. Progesterone, Thyroid and Adrenal gland hormones like Cortisol can also be out of balance resulting in emotional and physical distress as well as illness.

One of the easiest and most accurate ways to measure your hormone levels is by Saliva Testing. A saliva test is done throughout the day to determine if a patient’s hormones are responding appropriately to daily stress and activities.

We also test for specific vitamin deficiencies as well as anti-oxidants such as CoQ10. Often these are out of balance due to a hormonal dysfunction that a patient may have and they also need to be brought to optimal levels.

Andropause is often referred to as male menopause. This is a state in which the hormonal balance of men is deficient and they may suffer decreased libido, decreased sexual function, fatigue, loss of muscle mass and depression. Some men describe it as feeling of sudden and rapid aging. The cause of this condition may be multifactorial, being a result of adrenal fatigue as well as low levels of Testosterone, DHEA and Growth Hormone. Testosterone and Growth Hormone can be compounded in the same way as Estrogen and Progesterone and men can also measure their hormonal levels via saliva testing.

Hormonal imbalances can severely affect the quality and overall health of men and women. The resulting negative symptoms of general malaise, discomfort, and illness can adversely impact your social, personal, and work life. These imbalances as well as enzyme, vitamin, and anti-oxidant deficiencies can be corrected and result in a more vibrant and healthy life.
