Bioidentical Hormones v/s Synthetic Hormones

Bioidentical Hormones: Made from plants and are Identical to the Hormones our bodies make naturally.

Synthetic Hormones: Made from the Urine (waste product) of Pregnant Horses and are not identical to the hormones our bodies create naturally.

Synthetic Hormone Replacement
My mother was advised by all of her physicians to STOP taking the synthetic hormone replacement because of it being directly linked to cancers and other serious diseases and health problems. So, why, tell me why would a person, male or female, ingest and place in their bodies a chemical derived from the waste product of an animal (horse urine) that has no relation to the human species? And why do doctors still prescribe it regularly? Sure its been sterilized, isolated, approved for human consumption and is regularly prescribed by physicians to treat low hormone levels (primarily estrogen) in women. It has been shown to have serious side effects after years of usage. It has been linked to certain cancers in women and other diseases, yet it is still used regularly by doctors as a viable means of hormone thereapy. IT IS STILL AN ANIMAL WASTE PRODUCT! There is a much, much better alternative. Just another tidbit of information. Were you aware that in medical school, aspiring medical students only recieve four hours of training in hormones. You would think that as important as hormones are to the human body, that the training would be far more than a measly four hours.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement:
Bioidentical Hormones are made from plants. Not animal waste. They match identically, the hormones that our bodies naturally produce. I watched closely as my own wife began Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Her physician has obtained far more training than the four hours offered in medical school and is Board Certified in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement, we checked it out thoroughly before we set up an appointment. My wife, within a matter of minutes of taking her first dosage, felt the weight of anxiety release its grip. That alone was worth the cost. She has not experienced any weight gain at all, as a matter of fact she has lost weight without any change in her diet. She sleeps, she doesn't have the Hot Flashes, she has experienced a normalcy that she hasn't had in a very long time. How, long has she been taking the Bioidentical Hormones?... only three months. She is in her early 40's. Had I not actually seen it myself, I would have set it aside as hype. It is not hype. It works and with no negative side effects.

UNDERSTANDING PERIMENOPAUSE
BioHRT Medical News

Perimenopause is the period of time preceding menopause in which your body’s reproductive system slowly winds down.  Though perimenopause differs for every woman, it generally marks a time of less-frequent ovulation and fluctuating levels of  hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and FSH.  On average, women begin perimenopause at age forty-seven and experience it for about four years.  But women can experience some of the symptoms of perimenopause in their late thirties or early fifties, and it can last from a few months to eight or ten years.  You have no way of knowing precisely when or how you’ll begin noticing the changes that announce you’re approaching menopause.  Most likely you’ll instead connect the dots of a number of odd symptoms and changes that eventually point toward that direction.

Although at first you are likely to have a difficult time accepting that you’re perimenopausal, the realization can be a true relief.  If you’ve been having trouble sleeping, experiencing mood swings, feeling anxious, nervous, and depressed, or forgetting things, for example, you might feel like you’re losing your mind or developing some odd and difficult-to-diagnose illness.  In reality, however, the symptoms you’re experiencing are normal, manageable demonstrations of a natural stage in your body’s development.

When you are aware of the range of symptoms women report during perimenopause, you gain a better understanding of this phase of life.  You also learn to recognize symptoms that point to other issues in your physical and emotional health.  BioHRT’s goal is to help you feel more comfortable and relaxed as you experience menopause, so you’re able to pass through each stage more smoothly and you’re ready to deal with any problems you may encounter.

Recognizing Perimenopause

What kinds of symptoms are common—or even possible—during perimenopause, and what do they mean?  And how do you know if your symptoms are related to perimenopause or some other part of the aging process?

First, it’s important to understand that, if you think it may be perimenopause, it probably is.  No one is more familiar than you are with your body’s feelings and reactions during your monthly cycles.  Women have reported a wide variety of symptoms during and after perimenopause.  Remember, some women experience no symptoms at all.

Also, keep in mind that everyone can expect to experience some physical and mental signs of aging.  As women age, many of their physical changes are triggered or exacerbated by hormonal fluctuations.  The good news is, any overt symptom that is associated with or triggered by changing hormone levels can be temporary—and may even be diminished through BioHRT therapy, in conjunction with diet and exercise.  And, above all, never forget that everyone’s path to menopause takes its own unique course.

If you start noticing obvious changes in the length of your periods, the intervals between them, or the heaviness of your flow, and you’re between the ages of thirty-five and sixty, you should start checking for other signs of perimenopause.  But changes in your cycle may not be your first indicator that perimenopause is approaching.  Many women report symptoms of perimenopause while their periods remain much the same.  Though we all have our own perimenopausal profile, most women feel some or all of the following symptoms as their bodies prepare to stop ovulating:

• Hot Flashes
• Vaginal Dryness and Painful Intercourse
• Irregular and/or Heavy Periods
• Involuntary Urine Release and Bladder Urgency
• Insomnia
• Mood Swings
• Decreased Sexual Drive
• Weight Gain
• Difficulty Concentrating
• Heart Palpitations
• Migraine Headaches

Add to that list everything from aching joints and muscles to the onset of chin whiskers, and you’ve only just begun to cover the wide variety of symptoms perimenopausal women report.
If the preceding list paints an ugly picture of perimenopause, it’s also important to remember that even among women who experience these symptoms, the effects can be mild, transient, or otherwise annoying.  BioHRT takes a closer at each of these symptoms— so that you have a better idea of what to expect.
