Menopause and natural bioidentical hormone therapy: Los Gatos Longevity Institute

The statistics for women are simple: Peri-menopause typically begins about age 44 associated with sputtering hormonal surges and declines characteristically felt as the hot flashes and mood swings. It culminates in the final act -- full menopause -- at an average age of 51 years. There is tremendous variation so that there are cases of women undergoing "the change" as young as 31. It is an individual process.

The case for hormonal replacement becomes more compelling with each study. But it's the type of replacement that makes all the difference.

Natural Bioidentical Hormonal Replacement Therapy sets us apart from other providers. We use a combination of natural bioidentical progesterone and mixtures of the two natural bioidentical estrogens (estradiol and estriol) that approximate your own declining native hormones. Natural because they have less side effects and because they support critical target organs:

your heart ... brain ... bones ... blood lipids ... and normal lubricating secretions.
