On Thursday, January 15th, Oprah Winfrey will "start the con versation on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy" in an episode titled "Bioidentical Hormones Part 1" as part of her month long "Best Life Series."

First Suzanne Somers, now Oprah. Bioidentical hormones are going main stream. It wasn't that long ago, very few people, even those in the medical community, were aware of the existence of natural hormones. Bioidentical hormones are made by compounding pharmacies and are identical to what your body would normally produce when functioning optimally. Even fewer were aware that bioidentical hormone replacement therapy could reverse symptoms of hormone imbalance that were originally attributed to the process of aging.

BodyLogicMD affiliated physicians are experienced, highly trained, anti-aging experts specializing in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). For many years our affiliated physicians have had great success using these natural hormones to treat thyroid disorders, menopause, andropause (male menopause) and adrenal fatigue. Many of our patients have relief from hot flashes, insomnia, weight gain, fatigue, mood swings, among others and have regained hormonal balance and the ability to live life to its fullest.

"Bioidentical hormones put the spring back in my step, help me to sleep soundly for seven hours at a time, and give me the energy to spend quality time with my son...It has changed my life, and made me a better father in the process." ~T.S. BodyLogicMD Patient, Florida

"...The bioidentical hormones and thyroid medications you have prescribed for me have changed my life. I have energy, I am losing weight, I am sleeping better, and most importantly, my husband and I are enjoying a renewed loving, close relationship." ~S.R. BodyLogicMD Patient, Connecticut

The truth is that traditional doctors often treat the symptoms without adequately searching for the cause and few test their patients? hormones. "Oprah is like so many of our patients who have seen many doctors before finally reaching us and learning that depleted hormone levels are the source of their symptoms," says Dr. Jennifer Landa, BodyLogicMD Chief Medical Officer and hormone therapy expert. At BodyLogicMD, this is what we strive to change; our affiliated physicians order hormone testing for patients before their initial consult so that they have all the information necessary to make the proper diagnosis.

Oprah's upcoming show on bioidentical hormones is promising. With her help those that are suffering with a hormone imbalance, who might otherwise have never learned about this option, can find information and relief with bioidentical hormones.

Tune in on January 15th to hear what Oprah has to say on bioidentical hormones.
