Women’s Hormonal Support and Balance

I don’t believe it is natural or necessary for women to suffer so much with their periods or menopause.  Certainly women can take antidepressants and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and these will alleviate some of the symptoms - but at a cost.  There are significant side effects with these drugs, some of which are life threatening, such as suicide, heart disease, cancer and arterial disease.  We should remember that our body is mostly regulated by hormones, and women’s bodies are very susceptible to this regulation.

My approach is to ensure that a woman is getting everything that she needs nutritionally, so her body has the opportunity to make repairs if necessary, and the ability to regulate hormones properly.  I do this by making recommendations for dietary changes.  Some supplementation is usually necessary as well.  Remember, the body must have a good source of protein and fat to produce hormones.

Then we support the specific glands, such as the ovaries and the adrenals, helping them work at their optimum levels.  We use glandulars first, then herbals, to help encourage them to function properly.  At this level we can address any specific concerns that a woman has.

Finally, if all else fails, we will recommend only natural hormones, either over the counter (OTC), or we will refer you to someone who can prescribe or compound something for you.

I am constantly amazed how well a woman’s body can work if treated properly.  Of course this is how women are in general - treat them well and you will usually get good results.

Call for an appointment and see how well your body can work, and how much better you will feel.
