WOMEN

It’s very common for women over age 35 to experience symptoms associated with natural declines in hormone production. These symptoms can occur before, during and after menopause:

• Trouble sleeping
• Irritability, anxiety and depression
• Fatigue
• Trouble concentrating, “brain fog”
• Decreased interest in sex
• Vaginal dryness
• Night sweats
• Yeast infections
• Sudden weight gain
• Acne
• Hair loss
• Unusually heavy, irregular, or painful periods
• Memory problems
• Cold hands and feet
• Osteoporosis

For over four decades, estrogen and progesterone have been two of the most commonly prescribed hormones for women. However, the widely misinterpreted Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study of 2002 left many women scared and most doctors reluctant to prescribe vital hormone replacement therapy for women. It is important to note that the WHI study focused only the synthetic (non-biologically identical hormones) that have been linked to dangerous side effects and an increased risk of breast cancer.

Bioidentical hormones are completely safe and free of the risks associated with synthetic hormones.
