Structure is everything when it comes to hormone replacement therapy. Natural, biologically identical hormones are the exact shape and function as our own endogenous hormones. The body treats and processes them the same way it has processed its natural hormones for years. They are safer, with fewer side effects, and have been found to have a rejuvenating and proactive effect.

Unfortunately, many of the pharmaceutical hormones regularly prescribed are not identical to those found in the human body. These hormones may somewhat resemble our own hormones and may accomplish some of the same tasks, but they are a far cry from what the body is used to and needs. As the body works to metabolize these foreign substances, it may produce toxic by-products, which can cause a wide array of side effects like bloating, mood swings, water retention and more serious problems such as cancer and heart disease.

In light of this, patients should insist on prescriptions for biologically identical hormones only. The quality of life as you age depends heavily on the quality of hormones you take.

It is important to note that proper replacement of hormones involves replenishing all of the deficient hormones back to optimal, more youthful levels utilizing only biologically identical hormones. Which hormones to replenish, how much to replenish, and how to adjust the hormones is the art and science of this new specialty of hormone replacement therapy. We applaud you for taking the first step; now let us help you achieve the quality of life you desire and deserve.
