Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
When someone tells you that hormones are dangerous, educate them on this:
Synthetic (artificial, non-natural) hormone PROVERA was the biggest culprit in the adverse findings from the WHI. Pay attention to this simple event: what came out as a conclusion from a study – 10 years later, when reviewed, positive findings emerged THAT WERE NEVER PUBLICISED. It didn’t make headlines. It did not make the news, unlike the initial findings that made it to magazine covers, news headlines, and every media outlet you can think of.
This is exactly why our bioidentical hormone replacement therapy doctors spend hours each week reviewing the literature and scientific studies, and critically evaluating both positive and negative outcome studies – not just in the field of hormones, but in brain health, immune system function as it relates to autoimmune disease and cancer, and all the areas important for healthy ageing.
They ask questions like, “What was the objective of the study? Who stands the most to gain from a positive or negative finding? And what are the confounding variables (meaning, was it a fair representation of the population? Was there anything that was overlooked that could make a difference to the findings?)”
Everything practised at Live Young Medical Clinic is soundly based in science. Your safety is assured.
Celebrities use Their Status to Help You Learn the Truth About Bioidentical Hormones Therapy
Suzanne Somers has devoted her life to investigating and reporting on bioidentical hormones, the dangers of pharmaceutical drugs and living a healthy lifestyle after she suffered from breast cancer.
As a cancer survivor, she has come to trust ‘alternative’ medicine.
Consider that this is REAL medicine – a medical system based on your body and restoring its BEST function.
Restoring health. Not treating sickness and waiting for disease.
Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine have been tried and tested for over 5000 years. Modern medicine is only a few hundred years old. Consider a few areas that are examples of how modern medicine is embracing ‘alternative medicine’.
If you look at emerging studies, modern bioidentical hormones therapy medicine is beginning to find value in ancient herbs and practices:
- Tumeric was found to prevent post-operative wound infections resistant to all other antibiotics at a University in Toronto.
- Resveratrol was studied at the University of Calgary and found to influence Sirtuin, that relates to DNA and telomere length benefits that predict rate of aging…
- Acupuncture is used in physio therapy practices.
Even Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil are all educating their audiences in the field of bioidentical hormones, eating natural foods and living a healthy lifestyle – just as we help you to do at Live Younger.
Hormones and How They Work
Hormones are created from nutrients. CHOLESTEROL is the precursor to all your ‘sex steroid’ hormones like estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. Cortisol, pregnenolone, DHEA (your hormone of youth and longevity) are other examples of sex steroid hormones.
Both vitamins and minerals attach to protein molecules and altered cholesterol to create different hormones. After they have been created, hormones become great communicators. They are chemical messengers that direct every function in your body. From energy and metabolism, to blood pressure and sugar regulation; from how you gain or lose weight, to your sex drive and vitality – hormones help keep you alive and feeling well.
The Key to Bioidentical Hormone
Replacement Therapy
Consider your hormones to work like a lock and key.
The hormone is the ‘lock’
Your hormone receptors are on your cells. (the key).
The hormone ‘unlocks’ the cell receptor and instructs it on what to do:
- Take sugar and store it as fat (insulin)
- Make energy (cortisol or thyroid)
- Sleep (melatonin)
