Bioidentical Hormones According to Chris Woolston of the LA Times | June, 2010

Founder of TrueMedMD, Dr. Jeffrey Dach recently responded to medical journalist Chris Woolston's article, which weighed the pros and cons of bioidentical hormone therapy. Over the years, millions of women have turned to hormone therapy to find relief from symptoms of menopause. However, during the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) studies, it was discovered that synthetic hormones, such as Premarin and Provera, increased a woman's risk of cancer and heart disease.

Shortly after the WHI findings made headlines, compounding pharmacies, alternative health clinics and a select handful of physicians began promoting the use of bioidentical hormones as a natural and more effective alternative to synthetic hormone therapies. Bioidentical hormones are comprised of phytoestrogens derived from naturally occurring sources, such as yams and soy. Bioidentical hormones are identical to the hormones that the body should be producing naturally, making them more efficient than their synthetic predecessors.

The bioidentical hormone doctors at BodyLogicMD have helped tens of thousands of women and men overcome symptoms of hormonal imbalance, using all natural bioidentical hormone therapy, combined with customized nutrition and fitness regimens.
