Hormone in my book, is natural hormones made from plant materials and are completely identical to the various hormones in our body.
Women’s health initiative(WHI) was A large scale progressive randomized controlled study involving 40 large medical centers around the US with 16,608 participant women. The report came out in July 2002. The study evaluating the risks and benefits of Premarin and Provera. These are the synthetic prescription hormones that are made by the pharmaceutical company. They do not match hormones in our body. The study lasted 8.5 years. The WHI study along with a host of other studies, clearly showed that the use of these conventional prescription hormones were responsible for a 26% increase risk of breast cancer in women on these synthetic hormones long-term.
In United States it is against the law to patent a natural product like natural hormone. Therefore there’s a huge gap of understanding and knowledge on plant based identical natural hormone.
My medical education simply did not cover the subject.
However the effect of these natural hormones when used judiciously, with the guidance of testing, is no less than transformative.
Hormones, I think of it as doing the job of a conductor in a symphony, masterminding the fine tuning of each individual component to play in sync to allow for an optimal life our body, mind can provide.
Many important hormones drop to the floor with age, or chronic illnesses. Using testing as a guide, hormones like testosterone , estrogen, progesterone, human growth hormones, DHEA, Pregnenolone, cortisol can be boosted to optimize nearly all functions in our body.
