What is Hormone Therapy?
Hormone Therapy is the use of exogenous hormones to help bring back our own hormones into balance. There are two types of hormone therapy that EBL offer, Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and Natural Desiccated Thyroid Hormone (NDT).
The EBL Approach
What to expect:
Ever woman is different and has a different story. It is important to understand your overall health and why your hormones may be in the state that they are.
During your initial consultation, a comprehensive health assessment is taken during which we try to understand the reasons and contributing factors for your hormone imbalances. We also conduct comprehensive testing (saliva, blood, or urine) to determine the level of your hormones as well as your nutrient status before prescribing BHRT or NDT. In addition to utilizing these hormone therapies, we also work on all of the connected hormone pathways through diet, lifestyle counselling and supplementation to bring you to a state of optimal health.
Who can benefit?
Generally BHRT is used to treat peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women. However, as hormone imbalances are becoming more and more prevalent in today’s world, BHRT is successfully being used in younger women to restore normal levels of hormones in order to regulate cycles, improve fertility and alleviate PMS
Is it safe?
BHRT is using biologically identical hormones as opposed to synthetic hormone therapy that uses hormones derived from equine (horse) urine. BHRT has been shown to be safe and effective in studies without the side effects or increased risk of hormonal cancers associated with synthetic hormone therapy.
