7 Keys To Safe Hormone Replacement Therapy
7 Keys To Safe Hormone Replacement Therapy
Source: Health Science Institute
You’ve probably seen the bad news about conventional HRT: It dramatically increases the risk of
developing breast cancer (among other potentially deadly side effects). But those dangers only
come with the use of synthetic hormones. You can avoid hazardous complications (like cancer and
heart disease) by treating your menopause symptoms naturally, with bioidentical hormone therapy.
You get all the relief – plus several health benefits – without possibly fatal side effects, when you
use this natural therapy the right way.
1: Use only bioidentical hormones. Your body knows just how to use them, unlike the form used in
prescription HRT which comes from the urine of pregnant horses.
2. Talk openly with your doctor about your overall health and any current menopause symptoms
you’re experiencing. That way he can design a formula just for you.
3. Promise yourself you’ll keep up with the necessary periodic hormone testing – it’s the only way
to keep your hormone levels in perfect balance.
4. Forget the “estrogen rules” mindset – it takes all of your hormones, working together in the right
proportions, to keep you healthy and strong.
5. Make sure you’re getting enough of all the essential nutrients, through diet and supplements –
your body needs them to process hormones properly.
6. Be on the lookout for any side effects. Pay special attention to breast tenderness, unusual hair
growth, mood swings, and acne, which could mean it’s time to reevaluate your dosage.
7. Make sure your doctor is monitoring you for any possible blood clot formation. This side effect
hasn’t been documented with bioidentical hormone use, but it is common with birth control pills
and synthetic HRT – so stay watchful just to be on the safe side.
