What Are Bio-Identical Hormones?
The term “bio-identical” means that the hormone is an exact match to the hormone that your body makes. At least in theory your body shouldn’t be able to tell whether the hormone came from your body or from the pharmacy.
Bio-identical hormones start with an ingredient from soy or yam. It is converted to estrogen, progesterone or testosterone in the lab, and the finished product is the exact same thing as the estrogen, progesterone or testosterone made in your ovaries.
You can’t get the same effect by eating soy or rubbing yam cream on your skin…..
This is very different to the synthetic hormones that we have often used in women’s health. They are man-made chemicals that are made to mimic hormones, but they aren’t the exact same thing. Therefore the risks and benefits are not the exact same, and there are no lab tests to measure the level of these hormones in your body.
Here is How We Do It
We start by measuring your hormone levels. We only want to replace hormones that you are deficient in, so we can bring you back into balance.
We use bio-identical hormones, which are an exact match to the hormones your body used to make. These are available in FDA-approved forms from a regular pharmacy, or in customized preparations from a compounding pharmacy.
We monitor to make sure your symptoms are better and you are not having side effects.
Then we re-measure your hormone levels to make sure we have it right.
