Bioidentical Hormone Replacement

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement is a natural form of therapy, using hormones that are identical to hormones produced by the human body. One may argue that by using plant-derived hormones instead of synthetic hormones, the body will be more receptive. By using natural hormones such as estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroidal hormones for those who are deficient, one can regain their normal hormonal levels. Combining hormone balancing with healthy lifestyle changes may be our best hope for preventative health against breast cancer, heart attacks, and menopause issues.

Anxiety and Depression are the two leading disorders in the U.S. affecting as much 40 millions adults.
