| Is Hormone Therapy Right for You? You probably searched out our webpage because something's not right. You just haven't felt like yourself lately. Maybe it's PMS, or perhaps you're approaching menopause and your hormone levels are starting to change. You'd like to find out more about why you feel the way you do and how to feel like yourself again.
You've come to the right place. Start with a simple Symptom Assessment to see if hormone imbalance might be the source of your discomfort. Then follow the Action Steps suggested to a lifetime of health and wellness. The Benefits of Hormone Therapy Go Beyond Symptom Management Whatever you score in your symptom assessment, remember that hormone therapy is not just about keeping symptoms at bay. Far beyond mere symptom alleviation, supplemental hormones play a key role in long-term health and wellness. They can keep you looking and feeling younger. Hormones also assist in prevention of diseases such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, and even certain types of cancer. If you have a family history of any of these diseases, if you had an early menopause, or if you have had your ovaries removed in a hysterectomy, bioidentical hormone therapy may offer distinct long-term health benefits for you. PMS ASSESSMENT If you are still menstruating and your symptoms appear regularly during the two weeks prior to your monthly period, you may be suffering with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Evaluate your symptoms with our PMS Assessment. PERIMENOPAUSE ASSESSMENT If you are still having periods, but they have become irregular, or if you think you are starting to experience symptoms of menopause, then you are in the transitional phase which is often referred to as perimenopause. We recommend you take our Perimenopause Assessment. You can also choose to take the PMS Assessment AND the Menopause Assessment, combine your score, and review our recommendations.
MENOPAUSE ASSESSMENT If you have reached menopause, either naturally or surgically, and you no longer have periods, our Menopause Assessment will help you evaluate your symptoms. Additional Assessments:
OSTEOPOROSIS ASSESSMENT Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by excessive loss of bone mass and changes in bone tissue that compromise bone quality and strength. With osteoporosis, bones become fragile and prone to fracture. Our Osteoporosis Assessment is an indicator of your risk for developing osteoporosis. THYROID ASSESSMENT Because many symptoms of underactive thyroid are similar to those of menopause, they can easily be confused or misinterpreted. Symptoms of underactive thyroid include fatigue, especially on waking, feeling cold easily, dry skin, depression, muscle and joint weakness and stiffness, constipation, general slowness and possible weight gain. Our Thyroid Assessment can help you sort through the confusion.
ANDROPAUSE ASSESSMENT Andropause is a condition of low testosterone in men that usually begins to occur at about 40 years of age. Take our Andropause Assessment to identify the most common symptoms. |
