Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) October 11, 2004-- Hot flashes, night sweats, weight
gain, insomnia, mood swings, no energy — LifeWorks Wellness Center has been
using an alternative medicine approach to stop these menopause symptoms for
years. Recently patients have been coming to our clinic carrying Suzanne Somers'
The Sexy Years in hand. They are all seeking the same treatment: Natural Hormone
Replacement Therapy with bioidentical hormones.
Thanks to Somers' book,
more women are aware of bioidentical hormones. But the shift from synthetics to
bioidentical hormones is also due to the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study.
In this study, synthetic hormone drugs were found to increase breast cancer,
heart attacks, strokes, and heart disease at such astronomical rates (26%
increased risk for breast cancer alone), the study was cut short three years
early.
Taking bioidentical hormones, Somers writes, "I started to feel
relief immediately. I began to sleep better, the hot flashes subsided, and
slowly my sex drive returned. My thinking also got better, and the horrible itch
on my legs went away. . . . I now realize that this is the secret elixir we have
all been looking for."
Lisa Nikel, Advanced Registered Nurse
Practitioner, has years of experience with bioidentical hormones and runs the
Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy program at LifeWorks Wellness Center. Nikel
says, "One reason for the appeal of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is
that, simply, bioidentical hormones make sense.
"If you're trying to
replace hormones you've lost in your body, choosing hormones that mimic the
exact structure and function of the hormones you've lost is the best way to go.
Each natural hormone therapy program is specifically tailored to meet an
individual's unique needs. There is no one-size-fits-all pill," Nikel
says.
Synthetic hormone drugs, on the other hand, are a one-size-fits-all
pill. Synthetics are not bioidentical to your hormones — they have a different
structure and do not function the same.
In fact, Premarin, a synthetic
progesterone, is made of pregnant mare's urine ("PREgnant MARe's urINe"). Some
women protest the exploitation and mistreatment of the 80,000 horses abused to
produce this urine, for a drug that pulls in $1 billion yearly, but most just
find the idea of putting horse urine in their bodies unnatural, and
unappealing.
"Usually women experience an almost immediate benefit with
bioidentical hormones, some symptoms more than others," Nikel says. "Almost
immediately — within several days — women can begin to sleep better, and the hot
flashes go away. Weight regulation and lost sex drive also begin to return to
normal."
The process for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy begins
with an initial hormone analysis. From there, Nikel prescribes the correct
dosages of the bioidentical hormones you need.
To schedule an
appointment for this hormone analysis, call LifeWorks Wellness Center at
