 Age-related hormonal declines contribute to the signs and symptoms of aging. That’s why bio-identical natural hormones—which are identical to those produced in the human body—are offered at the Holistic Healing Health.

 The Coventional Approach to Hormone Balancing

Complete hormone balancing is typically undertaken by different medical specialists.  Female issues are typically treated by OB/GYNs, male issues from Urologists, thyroid & diabetes by general endocrinologists and Adrenal issues by Endocrine super-specialists.  This approach leads to a loss in continuity of care as well as even more imbalances from the types of drugs that are being passed-off as hormones, known as synthetic compounds.  The best way to understand the difference between a synthetic, non-biologically identical and a bioidentical hormone is as follows.  Bio-identical natural hormones are found in your body, while the synthetic versions are not.  Bio-identical hormones cannot be patented because they are found in nature, in your body.  Whereas, synthetic hormones share very little resemblance to anything found in nature. These chemicals were never seen by your body and therefore considered foreign to your body.  Therefore, these “new to nature” compounds are unique to the pharmaceutical company who has designed them and thus can be patented.  The disimilar nature of their chemistry is what attributes to the multitude of side-effects we often hear about from these chemicals.  One of the biggest problems we face as consumers is that most doctors and the media called these drugs “hormones” when they are indeed not.  So when the consumer hears the word “hormone” they often associate them with side-effects.  Not true for properly balanced bio-identical natural hormones, however.

What is Natural Hormone Balancing?

One of the hallmarks of getting older is a decline in hormone levels. Production of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, DHEA, melatonin, human growth hormone, Cortisol and other hormones tapers off after we reach our 20′s and 30′s.  And many experts agree that age-related hormonal deficiencies contribute to the signs and symptoms of aging. That’s why bioidentical hormones—which are identical to those produced in the human body—are offered by Holistic Healing Health.  This therapy is important for both men and women.

Bio-identical Natural Hormone Replacement is consider so safe that some of these hormones are available in health food stores and conventional pharmacies.  But others are specifically tailored for each individual and must be ordered by a physician able to accurately interpret the results of testing and then prescribe the perfect dose for optimal balance through a compounding pharmacy. At Holistic Healing Health our approach is designed to balance the natural hormones in the body.

How Does Natural Hormone Balancing Work?

When you come to the Holistic Healing Health, we will test your levels of various hormones, and if they are low, recommend natural hormone balancing. The goal is simply to bring your levels up to what they were when you were in your physical prime—and help you look and feel better than you have in years. Your individualized program of bio-identical natural hormones, based on your age and medical status, may include some of the following:

Estrogen and Progesterone

Natural estrogen and progesterone are a godsend for women going through menopause. In addition to helping prevent hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness, bone loss, and other common menopausal concerns, bioidentical estrogen and progesterone protect against heart disease.

This is in contrast to the widely publicized negative effects of Premarin, Provera, PremPro, and other synthetic, adulterated drugs that are poor substitutes for natural hormones. Furthermore, bioidentical estrogen and progesterone are better tolerated than conventional drugs. Plus, they give women peace of mind that they’re using hormones that are safe and natural.

Testosterone

Although estrogen and progesterone have been prescribed to women for years, testosterone use has lagged—and older men have suffered as a result. Supplemental testosterone helps build stronger bones and muscles. It improves libido, erectile function, mood, and overall well-being. Testosterone also protects against diabetes and strengthens failing hearts. And it’s not just for men—we also recommend very low doses of testosterone for our female clients to perk up libido and sexual function as well as improve cognitive function, heart strength and much more.

Thyroid

Hypothyroidism, or low thyroid function, affects about 1 in 8 younger women, 1 in 5 women over 65, and fewer, though significant numbers of men. Yet many people do not realize that their fatigue, weight gain, constipation, depression, and other symptoms may be caused by low thyroid. The best-selling brand of thyroid replacement is Synthroid, we  recommend natural nutritional support for Thyroid health.

We test all of our clients’ blood level of thyroid hormone at Holistic Healing Health.

Melatonin, DHEA, and Adrenal Hormones (Cortisol)

Your personalized natural hormone replacement program may also include melatonin, which facilitates sleep and protects against cancer, and DHEA, which helps with abdominal obesity, bone strength, libido, memory, mood, and lupus and cortisol for adrenal fatigue, fibromyalgia and post-traumatic stress syndrome to name a few.
