Is hormone optimization safe?
You’re right in asking – there’s been some negative publicity regarding hormone therapy. However, the controversy mainly surrounds the Women’s Health Initiative study from the early 90’s. The WHI was stopped prematurely and used synthetic hormones – underscoring the risk associated with synthetic hormones. Our program utilizes only safe and natural bioidentical hormones which are the same as those produced in the body. The bottom-line is that when an educated healthcare professional prescribes bioidentical hormones properly, there are no increased risks associated with prostate cancer or heart disease.
