SAFETY

Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT has been misrepresented and misunderstood by many health practitioners and the public.

The confusion arises from the fact that when studies were done on the safety of estrogen and progesterone, they were done on synthetic hormones only. These are the hormones found in conventionally prescribed birth control pills and IUDs and are implicated in increasing the body’s inflammation and the risk of ovarian and breast cancer. They are foreign molecules to the body and are processed completely differently than the body’s hormones.

How is Bio-identical Hormone Therapy different?

This hormone replacement program uses natural, plant-derived hormones that appear to the body as its own. They are therefore processed and utilized in the same way the body’s natural hormones would be. The benefits of bio-identical hormones are numerous. Most importantly, they protect the body from inflammation and cancer and are a vital part of any anti-aging treatment program.
