                        For Hormonal imbalances 

By Now You've

         Heard
 
about the very negative consequences of long-term hormone replacement. Like most health concerns people are seeking help for hormonal imbalance but medication rarely is the answer.  Medication does not typically address the cause of the imbalance. A primary issue for many men and women is the body's adaptation to accumulated stress. 
The human body's stress mechanisms have remained the same for 50,000 years involving fight or flight responses necessary for survival.  Today, once the body's adrenal hormones are exhausted, the body turns to its sex hormones for assistance.  Reproductive hormones are easily converted to adrenal hormones to deal with stress accumulation.  Unfortunately, you can guess what happens to the "sex" area.  

 
Symptoms like: low libido, PMS, impotence, "hot flashes", insomnia, low energy, early menopause and weight problems can all occur from hormonal imbalances, to name but a few.  Saliva tests through a non-invasive 24 hour home collection is the best way to establish hormone levels within the tissues.  24-hour collection establishes exactly what is happening within the 24-hour ciracdian cycle.  Free-fraction levels of cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA should be compiled.  From these results a natural transdermal delivery system is created for each person. Bio-Identical Hormone therapy is especially bio-available since hormones are degraded by the digestive tract. Individual protocols should be repeated in 6 months the first year and annually thereafter.  Costs range from 195-300$. Monthly therapy is 30-40$.
