The Three Sisters –
(estrogen, progesterone, testosterone)Hormone Balancing (
of Pre- Peri and Menopause)There are approximately forty million women currently going into menopause. This is growing by about 2 million women a year. Those of you not in menopause or are at a "pre" or "peri" menopause need to prevent as many problems as you can NOW. Making the decision to use nutritional supplements and/or hormones to treat hormone imbalances is more confusing than ever! Recent studies raise important concerns about whether hormones may cause more harm than good. Many women are now left to make their own decisions about whether or not to use hormone therapy. Most are asking, "Are there any better, safer hormone balancing options?"
Fortunately, there are. There are many systems involved with balancing your hormones that can be done to help you balance naturally. If you are a woman who really needs to use actual hormones to balance you, there is an answer, too. We may use nutritional supplements and/or Bio-identical hormones. Bio-identical hormones are natural plant-based hormones that are exactly like the hormones our bodies normally make. Each woman has her own "hormone blueprint" that feels best for her. Levels of hormones can be measured and adjusted to match each blueprint. Bio-identical hormones are specially formulated by compounding pharmacists in more convenient, effective forms than standard drugstore brands. Individualizing doses is superior to the traditional "one size fits all" approach to hormone therapy, having more health benefits and fewer side effects.
THE WORKSHOP: The Three Sisters of Hormone Balance
is a full day, 6 hour workshop and group consultation with Dr. Gail Marasse. This will enable you to:
Go over your blood, urine and saliva labs. We will review your hormone levels and give clear guidelines on exactly what your current levels are and how to adjust your programs to acquire healthier levels. Adjusting your lab values enables you to control hot flashes and night sweats, improve sleep, slow down skin aging, increase metabolism, increase bone strength, clear up "brain fog", strengthen muscles, improve heart health and restore sex drive and desire.
Understand all of your choices for nutritional and/or hormone replacement
therapy. You will know the advantages & disadvantages of the different ovarian
hormones. You will know which delivery routes are best for you. Learn how to
minimize your risks of breast cancer.
Develop your own personalized hormone prescription with the help of Dr. Gail
Marasse and Dr. Jeffrey Polito, MD. Arrangements will be made to receive your
nutritional supplements and hormone therapies. Dr. Gail reveals valuable ways of
"fine tuning" your doses to achieve valuable benefits, like handling stress better, super
boosting your sex drive and restoring skin elasticity and decreasing wrinkles.
HORMONES OF METABOLISM, ENERGY & STRESS
The hormones that help regulate metabolism, increase energy and manage stress become less active as you age past thirty five. This results in more fatigue, weight gain, depression and less vitality. Many women especially notice these changes occurring with menopause. Besides estrogen, other important hormones change during menopause and affect your body weight, moods, sleep pattern, sex drive, appetite control, cravings and energy. These include testosterone, thyroid, adrenal hormones (cortisol and DHEA) and insulin. Stress also negatively affects these hormone levels. Studies show that by measuring and correcting these hormones you can profoundly improve your mood, energy, appetite, metabolism, weight loss, sleep and even sex drive.
The brain hormone, serotonin, is critical for maintaining a good mood, controlling appetite and cravings. The same hormones that are affected by stress and aging (pre, peri and menopause) also lower your serotonin levels. Studies show that measuring and restoring all these hormones to younger, healthier levels can result in dramatic improvements of your mood, energy, metabolism, sleep and sex drive.
