It is never too late to discover the benefits of natural hormone replacement. No matter what your age there will be an improved quality of life with your decision to revitalize your hormone levels to what they were in your youth. Hormones keep us healthy.
Patients should insist on prescriptions of biologically identical hormones only. While synthetic hormones may resemble our hormones and be able to accomplish a few tasks, they are a far cry from what the body needs or is use to. As the body works to metabolize these foreign substances, it often produces toxic by-products causing a wide array of side effects. This does not happen with natural or bio-identical hormones.
It is important to understand that the proper optimization of hormones involves the replenishment of all deficient hormones to levels that you once enjoyed in your youth. What to replenish and how much you need to replenish is the art and science of bio-identical hormone replacement. Hawaii Hormone Therapy continues to be an established leader in this exciting science providing peer reviewed data that backs up the science of our program.
Conclusions of the Women’s Health Initiative have left many women scared and vulnerable after menopause. This study only focused on synthetic, non-biologically identical hormones that can have a negative effect. However, bio-identical estrogen mimics exactly what the body makes. It is essential for muscle tone, skin smoothness, hair texture and sex drive. It helps deter vaginal dryness, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and heart disease. Bio-identical progesterone (natural progesterone—which is exactly the molecule that your body produces) should always be viewed as the life long partner of estrogen. They balance each other and work synergistically to promote optimal female health. Progesterone helps promote bone growth, healthy heart function and overall well-being. You do not optimize Estrogen without optimizing Progesterone.
Levels of testosterone decline with age in both men and women. Loss of testosterone causes loss of libido, energy, strength, sexual function, memory, cognition, muscle and bone. When optimized, testosterone increases bone density and formation, enhances energy and sex drive, decreases body fat and increases muscle strength, lowers blood pressure & modulates cholesterol levels. Testosterone replacement protects against diabetes and heart disease. Testosterone optimization is something that neither men nor women should be willing to go without.
Insufficient thyroid levels result in fatigue, depression, memory loss, increased cholesterol levels and increased risk of coronary artery disease. With age, thyroid hormone levels gradually decline, resulting in a decreased metabolism, which affects all cells and organs. Low thyroid causes low energy, loss of motivation, weight gain and the thinning of hair, skin and nails.
Melatonin has been gaining popularity steadily since January of 1997 when the New England Journal of Medicine announced it as a powerful anti-oxidant and a potential anti-cancer agent. Since then, hundreds of studies have verified its ability to scavenge free radicals, induce youthful sleep patterns, increase and improve immune defenses as well as reduce migraine headaches.
Clinical studies have demonstrated that DHEA has a beneficial effect on immune response, sex drive, metabolic and emotional stability. Other health related benefits include support of cognitive function, protection against heart disease and diabetes through its effects on lipid body fat, along with increased bone density and the reduction of vaginal dryness.
