Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is sometimes called “natural
hormones” or “human identical hormones” , biologically identical
hormones are derived from plants, such as the wild yam or soybean plant, and are chemically and
functionally identical to human hormones. The wild yam is rich in precursor molecules that can be
converted in the laboratory into estrogens and other hormones whose molecular structure is the
same as those produced in the human body.
The key in distinguishing what is “natural” is not where the hormone originated,
but whether it’s chemical makeup matches the one it is intended to replace. Biologically identical hormones are believed to produce the same physiologic responses in
the body as endogenous hormones (those made by the body).
Bio-Identical HRT may have a beneficial effect for woman who experience peri-menopausal
and Menopausal symptoms including hot flashes, insomnia, low
libido, depression/anxiety, joint and bone pain, hair loss, and dry skin. Men,
undergoing Andropause (male hormone changes) often present
with fatigue, loss of motivation, decreased muscle mass, mood swings, weight gain, erectile
dysfunction and urinary frequency.
To determine your hormonal requirements, we obtain laboratory samples including Female and Male
Hormone Profiles (blood, urine, saliva). If you are a candidate for this therapy, there are many
routes of administration. HRT can be delivered by sublingual troches (dissolve under the
tongue), topical gels, injections, or sub-dermal pellet therapy (implantable hormone pellets under
the skin).
