There is a difference between “Bio-Identical” hormones and “Natural” hormones. Hormones can be from a “natural” source, but not identical to the human form (i.e. Premarin made from pregnant mare’s urine, or mexican wild yam but is not Progesterone). “Bio-Identical” hormones are identical to the human form. Synthetic hormones made by pharmaceutical companies have side chains added (to allow a patent) which cause side effects and do not react the same in the body.

Hormones are made by the body in various organs/glands including pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries/testes, as well as exogenously (from the environment). Our goal is to identify imbalances and work toward hormone balance throughout the day, month, and life.

Hormone balance may be achieved by various means: use of homeopathy, herbs, nutrients, or natural bio-identical hormone therapy that is compounded to your specific needs.
