Hormone Therapy for Women

With aging, women experience declines in hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and even testosterone. This decline causes an imbalance/deficiency state that can trigger many sexual, mental, emotional and physical problems.

Traditionally, women suffering from hormone-related symptoms have been prescribed numerous treatments, including contraceptive pills to regulate periods or anti-depressants to help calm them down. Unfortunately, however, such approaches do not get to the true root of the problem. Happily, in many cases a treatment program composed of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, exercise, diet and nutritional supplementation can improve many of the symptoms from which menopausal women suffer.

Women in their mid-thirties and forties can experience the devastating effects of pre-menopause and many women ages 40 and older suffer from menopause. Some of these problems are:

Pre-Menopause Symptoms

• Irregular Menstrual Cycles
• Breast Tenderness
• Irritability, Anxiety and Mood Swings
• Water Retention
• Weight Gain
