BHRT

(What you need to know)

Kirsten Palmer, P.D.

Contrary to popular belief, the majority of women suffer from estrogen excess. Surprisingly, many of your daily lifestyle choices can positively or negatively affect your hormone levels. Diet, alcohol consumption, stress, body weight and certain medications can all cause a change in hormone balance.

BHRT is not the same as synthetic hormone replacement. In BHRT, the hormones used are derived from nature. Soybeans and yams are used to provide what are sometimes called "bio-identical hormones". Simply stated, your body cannot tell the difference between the bio-identical and natural hormones which circulate through your body.

BHRT offers many benefits which you may never have considered and with fewer side effects than synthetic hormones:

Prevention of osteoporosis and restoration of bone strength. Maintenance of muscle mass and strength. Improved sleep, mood, and memory.

Protection against heart disease. Improved cholesterol levels.

BHRT replaces all necessary hormones at doses consistent with natural levels found in the body. Estradiol is the most familiar estrogen, but a woman's body also has estriol and estrone; all are vital for overall health and wellness.

If you suffer from any of the following, BHRT can help! Speak with your physician and or call Randy or Chris at Better Living Medical Equipment & Services for a confidential evaluation. (409) 727 - 8660
