How to get the most out of your Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Many women that have been using a progesterone cream to treat p.m.s., perimenopause, menopause and post menopause symptoms may not be receiving the full benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy.

Women, who according to blood or saliva tests may have normal ranges of hormones still report symptoms of hormone imbalance. These women may be actually experiencing receptor site malfunction rather than a true hormone imbalance. Receptor sites that are not working properly manifest themselves with continued symptoms, despite bioidentical hormone therapy usage.

Why are receptor sites important? If the receptor sites are not functioning properly and receiving the hormone’s message into the cell, the resulting symptoms will mimic hormone imbalance, even in the presence of the balancing hormones. The key is to support proper receptor site health to ensure optimal assimilation of present hormones or supplemented hormones.
