Bioidentical Hormone Restorative Therapy (BHRT) – Let’s Start At The Beginning.

Not All Hormones Are Prescribed Equally

Not all hormone therapies that are prescribed and taken are created equally. HRT and BHRT are two very different therapies.

Unfortunately, all hormones in any form are considered a controversial topic. This, of course, would be due to the outcome of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study which was halted ahead of schedule, in 2002, after it was found that HRT (hormone replacement therapy), a combo drug of synthetic oestrogens and progestins commonly known as PremPro, increased the risk of both heart disease and breast cancer.

Since the WHI study, both synthetic and bioidentical hormones have been bundled together as ‘bad’ and disease-causing.

This, of course, is totally untrue.

The Importance Of Understanding The Difference Between HRT And BHRT

It is important for everyone to understand the difference between these two forms of hormonal therapies – synthetic and bioidentical – and to have the correct information, otherwise, we will never get over this misconception of bad meets bad.

The major difference between bioidentical hormones and synthetic hormones is that synthetic hormones (HRT) set-up new reactions in the body that it is unfamiliar with. In short, they declare war with our physiology (in other words, body-balance and health); they mess with it! This is largely due to the fact that they are synthetic and the body and brain cannot quite get around that fact. The body/brain set-up gets confused when something ‘non-natural’ is put into it.

The body doesn’t produce synthetic hormones, never has done, and never will do. I am wondering why then, should we replace our declining hormones with alien or counterfeit ones – ones that have never ever existed in the body? And ones that have been seen to create detrimental and lethal health issues. It just doesn’t make sense. Instead, we should be restoring the missing hormones with bioidentical ones, identical to those produced in the body. Ones that do not cause health issues but rather enhance our health.

Bioidentical hormones restore normal physiological pathways with optimal body response. In other words, they work, they make us feel well. They calm our symptoms’, and at the same time slow the ageing process. They create harmony within the body – not disharmony! That is because the body/brain set-up understands them with great ease.

Hormones – The Human Network of Health

Hormones are miracle molecules that are naturally produced (endogenous) in the body and keep us alive and functioning. They are precious – we have been blessed with them. If we want to remain healthy, vibrant, positive and young, we need to keep them in the body at the correct levels and ratios.

With age, our hormones decline. When hormones decline, our health, both physical and mental, also declines, leaving us in a weak position. Maintaining optimal hormone levels is key to keeping us young, beautiful and sexy. And it is the most independent factor for a healthy, strong and vibrant immune system. And for keeping our hearts, brains, bones, joints, and bodies functioning correctly…at optimal.

Hormone ratios are very important to body health and maintenance. It’s not just the levels of hormones that counts but the ratios between these hormones. Hormones ratios such as oestrogens to progesterone and cortisol to DHEA, which greatly impact our health.

Hormones are messaging machines that interact with each other to literally form ‘a human network of health’ – they are, in fact, what helps us ‘keep it all together’! With a decline, we begin to fall apart slowly but surely. This is when the first signs or symptoms of ageing become apparent: withered, wrinkled and thinning skin; loss of muscle tone; weight gain; low sex drive; low mood; aching joints – these are just a few from a long list of health issues that occur with a hormonal decline. Menopause, in truth, is the beginnings of the ageing process, like it or not. This, of course, is also valid for men – they don’t get away scot-free either. They suffer hormonal decline just as we do, but in a slower and more gentle way.

When we restore declining hormone levels with bioidentical ones, we ‘keep it all together’, slow the ageing process, hold off chronic disease, and regain and/or maintain our health. It is never too early to start – the sooner, the better. We now have an option.

Let’s Take a Look at Bioidentical Hormones

Bioidentical hormones are an exact copy of the hormones produced in the body, they act and are read by the body exactly as our own. They come from soya and wild yam, and other plant extracts that are biosynthesised in a lab to become an exact copy of the human hormone. We are so lucky to have these miraculous molecules within our reach these days.

They are life-giving molecules that protect and enhance our declining and maturing health. They do not challenge the body in any shape or form – they are safe and efficient when prescribed by an expert doctor. BHRT, if not followed and prescribed correctly, can be just as detrimental as synthetic hormones. It is important to find a doctor qualified in this sub-speciality. Always check him/her out! Ask where and who trained them.

Bioidentical hormones aid us in ageing with style, grace, vibrancy and energy, and in maintaining that easy movement of youth. That clarity of thinking, sexuality, sensuality, and zest. What more could you ask for? When we are healthy, feel and look good, each stage of life is wonderful.

I admit, there is no magic bullet for the so-called ‘fountain of youth’ but, if I were to tell you that bioidentical hormones were also the golden key to better sex, a leaner body and a more youthful skin, would you believe me? You’d better! Typically, women taking bioidentical hormones look and act 10 to 15 years younger than women who don’t. And did I mention weight loss and thicker hair too?
