In order to really find out which hormones are too high and which hormones are too low, we recommend a salivary hormone test. Once we receive your results, we can create a personalized treatment plan with the appropriate bio-identical hormones, supplements and nutrition.
Bio-identical hormones are produced from plants and are converted into chemical structures that precisely match the human hormones that our body makes. These bio-identical hormones function exactly the same way as our own hormones do. The difference between BHRT and just HRT is that HRT is comprised of synthetic and/or animal derived hormones that are not structurally identical to our own natural hormones. They can more serious side-effects such as breast cancer and blood clots.
BHRT has a long history of safe and successful use, specifically in Europe where they have been used for 60 years. Nonetheless, please contact one of our qualified naturopathic doctors to see if BHRT is right for you.
