Menopause and peri menopause can be a very difficult adjustment. Some women are fortunate enough to pass through without notice. If you are one of those, consider yourself lucky because many women experience menopausal symptoms for years. Menopausal symptoms can be disabling in certain cases.

When you are faced with the symptoms of menopause you will want help. The first step will be seeking out a qualified doctor knowledgeable in natural hormone replacement therapy. Next a measurement of your hormone levels will be necessary to determine where to begin. At The Health Centers we only use saliva testing to measure hormone levels.

Saliva testing has been used in scientific testing for decades and has been shown to be highly accurate. The WHO or World Health Organization has used this method of hormone testing in worldwide comparisons of breast cancer among women living in industrialized versus non industrialized countries.

Saliva testing is the most reliable way to measure free, bio available hormone activity...those hormones actually doing their job at the cellular level. In addition, saliva hormone testing more accurately reflects tissue uptake and response of hormones being delivered through the skin.

Once The Health Centers receives your saliva hormone test results we will formulate a treatment plan based on those results. There are many natural options and treatments for hormonal imbalances. HRT (hormone replacement therapy) is not your only choice today. Although it is safe for a few women to use HRT, it is not a good option for most.

At The Health Centers we use a combination of many natural and herbal remedies to stabilize hormone levels. Every woman is different. The most important aspect of treating hormone imbalance is working closely with the patient until the desired results are achieved.

Men have been known to suffer from hormonal imbalances too. Some of the symptoms are decreasing muscle strength, depression, burn out, lack of sexual desire, loosing muscle mass, and prostrate dysfunction. It is vital to see a doctor when these symptoms appear to rule out any serious illness. Once illness has been ruled out hormone testing and treatment can begin.

Again, it is important to work with a qualified doctor who is willing to work to restore normal function and refer for treatment of disease if necessary. At The Health Centers our doctors pursue an answer to the problem behind the symptoms. Call today or click ASK US to find answers to your male or female hormone imbalances
