BHRT SIMPLIFIED
You probably already know the many
benefits that bioidentical hormone therapy
provides, from balancing your mood to
boosting your metabolism, increasing
mental clarity to rejuvenating your libido.
But bioidentical hormone replacement
therapy, or BHRT for short, also offers a
number of health benefits that are just as
important, but that you may not be aware
of.
Read on to discover how BHRT can help
you reduce your risk of heart disease and
degenerative osteoarthritis - naturally
and safely.
METABOLISM
IMMUNE SYSTEM

GROWTH
REPRODUCTION &
SEX DRIVE
.
Your body naturally produces a number of different hormones; together they
work in tandem to regulate a number of critical functions, such as:
BEHAVIOR

Unfortunately, when you hit your early thirties your body naturally
decreases its hormone production to the tune of about 2 percent
each year. This leads to hormone imbalance...and a number of
unpleasant health effects.
WEIGHT GAIN
SLEEP
DISTURBANCES
LOSS OF LIBIDO HOT FLASHES
Symptoms of Hormone Depletion

4. 3
OSTEOARTHRITIS
Along with weight gain, sleep
disturbances, hot flashes, decreasing
libido, mood swings and a number of
other effects, out-of-balance hormones may
increase your risk of developing
cardiovascular disease and
osteoarthritis.
Now for the good news: Bioidentical
hormone replacement therapy can
help!

CARDIOVASCULAR
DISEASE
BHRT Can Improve Heart and Bone Health

5. 4
These hormones
perfectly match your
own hormones, so your
body can easily
metabolize them.
These all-natural
hormones are created
from plant sources, like
yams and soy, and are
customized just for
you.
BHRT Hormones are the Same as Those Produced by You

6. 5
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy and Heart Disease
For decades, doctors and scientists have been flip-flopping on the role of the hormone estrogen in heart
disease. Most agreed that estrogen offers protection in pre-menopausal women, and prevention in peri-
and post-menopausal women.

7. 6
However, the key word here
is synthetic.
These flawed studies were
actually documenting the
failure of a synthetic
hormone known as
progestin.
In a few studies in the
early 2000s, synthetic
hormone replacement
therapy showed little
effect against the
coronary artery
disease (CHD),
turning many against
HRT.

8. 9
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy doesn't just protect
against heart disease. It also reduces your risk of developing
degenerative osteoarthritis (OA), a debilitating condition
that results in deformed, swollen and painful joints.
Studies indicate that estrogen loss plays a direct role in risk of
developing this condition. As such, it's no surprise that the
chances of developing OA increase dramatically in post-
menopausal women and those over 50. BHRT reduces the
risk of osteoarthritis

9. 7
REDUCED CHD BY 41 %
REDUCED MYOCARDIAL
INFARCTIONS BY 46%
REDUCED CHANCE OF
DEVELOPING OA IN HIP BY 43%
The study found that cardiovascular
disease was reduced by 41%.
Myocardinal infarctions were
reduced by 46%.
  
REDUCED CHANCE OF
DEVELOPING OA IN KNEE BY 60%
The study found HRT reduces the chance
of developing osteoarthritis by 43%.
The study found HRT reduces the chance
of developing osteoarthritis in the knee by
60%.

10. 8
The key? Bioidentical, rather than synthetic, hormones. These
match the makeup of natural hormones in your body. Results were
especially
striking when treatment was started with menopause, rather than waiting
for years after menopause to start the therapy.
The take home message here?
Don't wait too long to start replacing those lost hormones!

11. The Benefits 10
As with HRT to protect against heart disease, starting the
therapy earlier, rather than later, leads to better outcomes.

The implications are clear: Bioidentical hormone therapy
provides a number of benefits that all result in a happier,
healthier you!
