For Prevention and Quality of Life Issues.

    Thanks to Suzanne Somers' book, we now have your attention.

    "Bio-Identical" means that the hormones are an exact match to the hormones produced by the human body. They could also be called human-identical hormones. These hormones get their start in nature and are found in soy beans, wild yams, red clover and black cohash. The human body can recognize these bio-identical hormones and can use them just as it would as if produced by the ovaries, testes, or adrenal glands. Most side-effects experienced with bio-identical hormones are associated with either an incorrect dosing or an imbalance in the selection of the hormones.  

    The Millennium Health avoids these complications by performing an array of laboratory tests that answers the questions as to what is needed and approximation how much is needed. In speaking with each patient, we get an opportunity to fine tune the final prescription to address any personal goals. Whether this might mean an increase in mental acuity, improvement in depression and moods, increase in sexual drive, or  improved physical ability; slight  variations in the dosage, or dosage form, can often provide the sought after results.

    Synthetic hormones are not easily recognized by the body even though they may produce similar effects. Because they are hundreds of times more potent than the hormones that our body makes, they are often associated with significant side effects. 

    The great appeal of bio-identical hormones is that they are natural, and our bodies can metabolize them as it was designed to do so thereby, minimizing side effects.  Moreover, the compounded bio-identical hormones can be matched individually to each woman’s needs – something that’s just impossible with mass-produced products.

Customized Female Hormone Replacement Programs with Bio-Identical Hormones.

    It would seem reasonable that the easiest way to take hormones is by swallowing a pill. Unfortunately, once the hormones are absorbed by the blood it goes directly to the liver where some of the hormones are inactivated.

    Topically applied hormones are absorbed directly from the skin right into the blood where they immediately start working.  Eventually, all chemicals end up in the liver being inactivated and/or converted to other products. One of the benefits of topical creams is that they can be easily adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of application used per day. 

    An important aspect to Compounded Bio-Identical Hormones is whether-or-not they have been tested for bio-availability. That is, once applied to the skin the component hormones are easily absorbed from the cream, through the skin, and into the blood.  Each component hormone and blended preparation of hormones have been tested extensively during the Federal Application and Patent application process. The Millennium Health Group monitors the bio-availability of the topical preparations on select patients over the course of the year. In doing so we can assure our patients of the effectiveness of the products. Many times we don't need to do anything especially when the patient comes in glowing.  We maintain a list of female and male patients who provide direct testimonials to new patients.  

    Each customized preparation is designed based upon laboratory testing and the personal goals of the patient. We optimize each compounded product by maintaining a physiological relationship between each of the hormones. This simulates the normal hormonal balance that the body has during optimal sexual and reproductive performance.
