Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopausal Symptoms

September, 2011 -September is Menopause Awareness Month, so this is a great time to take charge of your symptoms and finally find relief! Among the best ways to conquer those menopause symptoms is with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

More and more women are turning to safe, effective, natural bioidentical hormones to control their menopause symptoms. “I have been on bioidentical hormones almost a year now and I cannot believe how good I feel,” says Jessica L. “I am 54 years old and I have never had a libido like this, even when I was in my 20’s. I have more strength and endurance than I’ve ever thought possible.”

BHRT uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced by your body to restore your hormones to the levels they were at when you were in the prime of your health. Bioidentical hormones fit precisely into your hormone receptors, allowing your body to make the most effective and natural use of them without the dangerous side-effects that come along with synthetic hormones, which your body identifies as foreign.

However, there’s more to the effective use of bioidentical hormones than just taking hormones. Testing your current hormone levels is also crucial. “All of your hormones work together in a symphony,” explains Greenville bioidentical hormones expert Dr. Kenneth Orbeck. “If your levels of one hormone aren’t where they should be, it affects all the rest. You can’t feel your best unless you make sure all of your hormones are at optimal levels.”

Jessica credits her doctors with her BHRT success. “I feel that I owe this wonderful feeling to the bioidentical hormone doctors at BodyLogicMD,” she says. It’s the partnership between patient and doctor, using safe, effective techniques like BHRT that leads to relief from menopause symptoms.
