Hormone Therapy

Hormone replacement therapy — medications containing female hormones to replace the ones the body no longer makes after menopause — used to be a standard treatment for women with hot flashes and other menopause symptoms. Hormone therapy (as it’s now called) was also thought to have the long-term benefits of preventing heart disease and possibly dementia.

Recommended for men and women is therapy using bioidentical hormones rather than synthetic products that do not remotely resemble the molecular structure of the hormones that are being replaced. Dr. Owings addresses specifically the growing need for postmenopausal women to be educated about their particular requirements. The number of women that respond negatively to the typical treatments for hot flashes, night sweats, lack of libido, and nights without sleep are astounding. She has been pleased to see firsthand that these same women respond to a natural formula and thrive as they once again feel like being a part of society again? The need for testosterone therapy with middle and older aged men is also addressed. Only in the past few years has mainstream medicine recognized how important it is to test for hormone levels in men as well as women. The results of this testing produces the ability to develop an overall plan for the active male desiring restored energy, vitality, libido and weight control.
