Hormone Evaluation and Balancing

What's the difference between bio-identical hormone and synthetic hormone?

Both bio-identical hormones and synthetic hormones are produced by pharmaceutical companies and FDA approved. Bio identical hormones have the same structures as our own hormones while synthetic hormones have similar structures but not exactly the same. It make sense to use bio-identical hormone to reduce the possibility of side effects.

What are sex hormones and their functions?

The sex hormones are estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Both men and women have all three. Estrogen and progesterone are the dominant hormones in women and testosterone is the dominant hormone for men.

lower insulin level by protecting insulin sensitivity and reduce incidences of diabetes.

protect nerve cells and brain function helps our memory, improves learning abilities and gives a better quality of sleep. It also works as an antidepressant by increasing serotonin level

The progesterone is made in ovaries after ovulation. Progesterone keeps the estrogen in check by preventing the overgrowth of endometrium, protects against fibrocystic disease, other functions of progesterone are:

serves as a natural antidepressant and helps to restore the normal sleep pattern.
