Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
BHRT is the art and
science of restoring balance to decrease the unpleasant symptoms and
treat diseases caused by hormone imbalances.
BHRT has actually been around for more than two decades. However,
endorsements from celebrities like Suzanne Somers and Oprah Winfrey
have greatly increased public awareness of bio-identical hormones and BHRT.
Before the availability of bio-identical hormones, women with
menopause symptoms were given synthetic or animal-source hormones like
progestin (Provera) and conjugated estrogens (Premarin). These non-human hormones have a different
chemical structure than human hormones, which is why some scientists
believe these hormone therapies led to an increased risk of heart
disease and cancer in numerous studies.
Saliva Test
Saliva hormone testing is excellent at uncovering hormone
imbalance. Saliva measures hormone that has actually made it into
tissue, because hormones pass through the saliva gland tissue before
entering saliva.
Talk to our pharmacist or a BHRT doctor about getting a saliva
hormone test done.
You can pick up your Saliva test kit from our pharmacy.
