Natural Menopause Management & Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Facts about Menopause
Women are no longer limited in their choices between enduring menopausal symptoms, or risking the side effects of synthetic hormone therapy. Women face a perplexing dilemma starting around age 40 to 45. The amount of sex hormones naturally produced by their body dwindles, causing a wide range of menopausal miseries in many, including hot flashes, depression, vaginal dryness, anxiety. The menopausal decline in hormone production is a direct cause of premature ageing.
Natural Versus Synthetic Hormones
As we grow older, there is a decline in our body's ability to produce its natural hormones such as thyroid, oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, melatonin and HGH. As the production of hormones decreases, our body's ability to repair and regulate itself does also. As our hormone levels diminish, so do the proper functions of the organs. This leads to and accelerates the ageing process and the onset of age related degenerative diseases, such as osteoporosis, heart disease and diabetes. We also suffer menopause, andropause, weight gain, changing body shape, lack of energy and fatigue.
The challenge is to obtain the anti‐aging benefits of estrogen and progesterone without increasing the risk of cancer, arterial blood clots and other side effects.
Plant derived estrogens provide safe and effective female sex hormone replacement therapy, and help alleviate menopausal symptoms.
Natural hormone replacement is often referred to as "biologically identical hormone replacement therapy" (BHRT). Natural hormones are either those substances that our bodies produce or are substances that are structurally identical to those our bodies create. Synthetic hormones have been created by drug manufacturers that attempt to mimic natural hormone function ‐‐ yet are structurally different enough from natural hormones to be patentable. Such synthetic hormones often produce many desirable effects, but also tend to produce undesirable side effects ‐‐ such as bloating, headaches, fatigue, weight gain and possibly cancer. Natural hormones, by contrast, possess the identical structures and function as substances created by our bodies‐and tend to produce the desirable effects without any of the undesirable side effects associated with synthetic hormones. We prescribe only natural hormones because of our commitment to your total well‐being.
We prescribe only natural hormones that are biologically identical to those found in the body (not synthetic). This programme is an alternative to conventional HRT.
Are Hormones drugs?
Hormones are not drugs. They are natural substances that function as messengers within our bodies to stimulate cells to rejuvenate and repair, and are vital for regulating our bodily functions.
What can I expect?
We concentrate on making you younger from the inside out by returning your hormones to their youthful levels, but never exceed what your body has already been accustomed to in its younger years.
After blood and urine analysis, our programme of natural bio‐identical hormone replacement and balancing replaces only the hormones that are shown to be deficient‐‐ balancing them and ensuring they all remain within normal youthful ranges.
Whilst hormone balancing is an integral and essential element of anti‐ageing treatment, it should be used in conjunction with proper nutrition, exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, we aim to create a tailored anti‐ageing programme for your unique requirements, incorporating Diet & Nutrition including Nutritional Supplementation), Exercise, Hormonal replacement (where indicated), Stress Management.
