Bio Identical Progesterone &
Women’s Health

The Informed Woman’s Guide to Understanding & Controlling Menopause, PMS, Infertility & Osteoporosis.

In order to accurately evaluate the effects of estrogen, and  Bio Identical progesterone, on:

  • Menopause
  • Hot Flashes
  • Night Sweats
  • PMS/PMT
  • Migraine Headaches
  • Mood Swings
  • Fertility/Infertility
  • Heart Disease
  • Osteoporosis
it is necessary to identify the sources of these two primary female hormones.

Distinguishing safe and natural hormones from those that are foreign and carcinogenic will allow women to make informed choices that will benefit future health and quality of life.

This information will help them to educate them about the unwanted effects of low or no progesterone relative too much estrogen (Estrogen  Dominance) and the subsequent unpleasant symptoms associated with Menopause, PMS, and the conditions of infertility &  osteoporosis.

Other major disorders, including breast cancer, stroke, osteoporosis & heart disease have also been shown to be caused or, at the very least, contributed to by an imbalance of steroid  hormones.

Problems arise, however, when synthetic estrogens, petrochemical compounds, and other synthetic hormones are introduced into the body. These unnatural chemicals interfere with natural hormone production and normal thyroid function and will suppress the prodction of natural progesterone.

What are the sources of these foreign hormones or  xeno-estrogens?

  1. Meat & Dairy that contain growth hormones – Farmers feed growth hormones to their animals, as the net increase in profits is substantial. So, when choosing meat or dairy, make certain the label says “hormone-free; antibiotic-free”. Better yet, “Free-Range, Grass-Fed” is more sustainable and better for your health.
  2. Personal Care Products that contain petroleum derivatives - Petroleum derivatives (petro-chemicals) are used in most personal care/cleaning products.  When they enter the human body, they act like synthetic estrogens, wreaking havoc on your efforts to achieve optimal hormone balance. Make sure that the label on all of your personal care products reads:

     

    “All Plant-Based” or “Petro-Chemical-Free”
