Natural (or Bio-identical) Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone imbalance can occur in women of all ages, and can result in unexplained weight gain, period problems, hot flushes, depression, fatigue, poor sleep and stress, to name just a few.
Conventional or synthetic HRT is being increasingly rejected by patients due to adverse side effects and reports of increased risks of breast cancer. Natural, or bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) provides many more benefits than synthetic HRT with drastically reduced risks of unwanted side effects and cancer.
Natural HRT, along with appropriate nutrition and lifestyle can help with hot flushes or other symptoms of menopause, reduce the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease and cancer, extend your youthful years, invigorate your sex life and decrease your risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
Natural HRT is customised to each patient and is dependent on diet, lifestyle, symptoms, medical history and results of pathology tests. Natural hormones can be made into many forms including creams, lozenges and capsules. Doses are tailor made to each patient by a compounding pharmacist.
