So what did Suzanne Somers start when she brought hormone balancing to the light for all the women and men out there, and what exactly are bioidentical hormones? Bioidentical hormones are manufactured in the lab to have the same molecular structure as the hormones made by your own body. By contrast, synthetic hormones are intentionally different. Drug companies can’t patent a bioidentical structure, so they invent synthetic hormones that are patentable (Premarin, Prempro, and Provera being the most widely used examples) in essence a product they can make money with.
Though bioidentical hormones have been around for years, most practitioners are unfamiliar with them. There are several branded versions now available for use in the kind of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) typical of synthetic hormones. This is often a one-size-fits-all dosage regime and not unique to the individuals own body and personal needs.
What Dr. King specializes in with all walks of her practise especially hormonal balancing is the individualized approach, because we are all unique and require different products and different amounts based on our genes, our lifestyles, our diet, our stress levels and our own hormone levels. So basically a one size fits most will make most feel a little good, but most can feel nothing at all or worse you can feel even worse then you already feel, YIKES! We begin with an extensive 18 page questionnaire, bioenergentic computerized testing, 2 hour interview with the doctors followed by any necessary laboratory tests of hormone levels (a so-called “hormone panel” which can include Saliva, Urine, and/or Blood based on your body and the findings during your evaluation). When warranted, we then put together your unique program which includes recommendations for lifestyle changes, dietary changes, best foods for your body, vitamins, minerals, homeopathic remedies, detoxification products, and if needed bioidentical of estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, and/or DHEA. Each patient is then monitored carefully through our unlimited email support program through symptom checks as well as regular follow-up through our bioenergentic testing and if needed hormone panels to make sure we put together the best fit for your body and your body’s unique needs as it heals and restores and balances out to the lowest levels you will eventually need. Some people need support formulas that stimulate your body to make your own hormones while others need a little bit of actual bioidentical hormone to boost the body back to normal levels. In the initial stages, we will monitor after about the 4-6 week period then about the three month mark based on your particular program and your body’s needs. Once balance is restored, we put together an easy to follow maintenance program and always have unlimited email support where the doctor is always an email away so you are never alone in the process.
Is bHRT the first step to hormonal balance?
Bioidentical hormones can work wonders, but they aren’t necessarily the first place to turn when hormonal imbalance is a problem. In our experience, the great majority of women can rebalance their hormones without the use of drugs, and even without HRT in any form. We have found that about 85% can find relief through a natural approach that combines pharmaceutical-grade nutritional supplements, homeopathic formulas, gentle endocrine support, and dietary and lifestyle changes. We recommend that every woman start with this combination approach as the foundation to her health, and have found that in as little as 2 WEEKS you begin to feel amazing relief and positive changes in fact many of our clients are able to balance their systems with very little need for actual hormones following our unique system of finding the right balancing formulas for their particular body in our Nutrition/Lifestyle Program.
In our Individualized Nutrition, Lifestyle & Hormone Balancing Program we’ve developed an amazing approach that supports a woman’s hormonal pathways preventing symptoms for those who are feeling great and relieving symptoms for those who are already feeling that loss of balance in their life. Our nutritional guidelines are based on the latest research in clinical nutrition and dietary endocrinology. Our pharmaceutical grade nutrients fill in the nutritional gaps that are so common in today’s diet and toxic environment. And our Homeopathic and Herbal Support Formulas offers phytocrine support to rebalance all three of the major sex hormones most prone to disharmony in perimenopause and menopause: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Even with this foundation, a minority of women will need to add actual hormone supplements to get complete relief, at least through a transition period. We recommend they use bioidentical hormones, preferably in a compounded form personalized to their needs by an experienced practitioner. When a woman can’t find a practitioner to prescribe compounded bHRT, there are now numerous trademarked bHRT options that conventional practitioners can prescribe for her. We offer a variety of biodentical formulas and work with two labs that will specially compound for those who have extra unique needs.
Either way, it’s important that the hormones be used in addition to the combination approach outlined above. Note that Suzanne Somers and Oprah are among this minority — they began with a healthy diet and lifestyle that supported the endocrine system, but still experienced intractable symptoms.
So if you’d like to know if Bioidentical Hormones are for you, or if you’d like to begin changes your lifestyle towards a healthy based Nutritional approach of balancing your body from the inside out talk to Dr. Stephanie King today and we’ll get you on the road to feeling AMAZING again and staying that way.
