Hormone Replacement Success Stories

At LifeWorks we have helped thousands of Tampa Bay women re-balance their hormones, safely and naturally, and we can do the same for you.

“Since November, I have gone from a listless (inside and out), emotional, ill-feeling person to a vibrant, energetic, life-loving person. I have gone from sitting and crying all day to tackling the world with enthusiasm. Never did I think my problems were related to hormone issues, until I came to LifeWorks and got educated. I feel better than I have done in about 10 years. You gave me new hope and I am down 19lb, I feel young and when people ask me what I am doing to feel this way I steer people your way and tell them to get ready to feel good! You have an incredible office and I don’t know how you do your job every day with people in the shape I was in, but I am sure glad you do! Thank you so much.”* – S.B.

A happy middle aged woman after having received  bioidentical hormone replacement

“Before I came to LifeWorks and had my hormones checked, I was a mess. You name it, I had every menopause symptom going. Doing the test was a very simple procedure, and I was amazed when I saw the results – my hormones were so out of balance, no wonder I felt so bad. The relief I experienced when I started applying the bioidentical hormone cream was fantastic. Within one month my symptoms were cut in half, and now – a year on, they are non-existent. Why suffer?”* – ML

“Thank you LifeWorks for helping me. I am only 32 but have suffered bad PMS for several years. I thought I would just have to live with it – it never occurred I could have a hormone imbalance. What a relief when I started taking bioidentical hormones. No more cramping, tiredness in the afternoon or irritability. I have recommended many girlfriends to your clinic.”* – JD

Common Questions & Answers about Hormone Therapy

What are Bioidentical Hormones?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), also called natural hormone replacement therapy, is the supplemental use of Bioidentical Hormones (estrogen, progesterone, and/or testosterone) to replace and balance your own hormones.

Bioidentical hormones are exactly the same hormones, molecule per molecule that the body produces, however they come from plant sources. These are considered natural to the body because they are identical biologically to female hormones and so they help you to rebalance hormone levels in a safe and natural way.

Why Bioidentical Hormone Replacement?

Hormones play a critical role in the way we feel, our mood and emotions, our energy levels and our motivation and drive as well as how our body functions. Hormones are the body’s way of sending internal communication to other parts of the body, in order to make something happen in the target area. As we age, our body is changing and it’s not uncommon for these hormones to fluctuate (sometimes too little, sometimes too much) wildly, leaving us functioning at a lower level physically and making us wonder why we are feeling so strange, crappy or out of the ordinary.

How Do I Get my Hormone Levels Tested?

To get your hormone levels checked, we perform a very simple saliva test that is done throughout the day. The results of this test show a complete picture of hormone levels – three estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and DHEA. Knowing exact hormone levels and ratios allows us to customize your specific hormonal replacement program.

How Do I take Bioidentical Hormones?

If your hormones are found to be out of balance and you chose to supplement with BHRT, your program will include a prescription with individualized compounded doses of bioidentical hormones rather than the “one dose fits all” approach of conventional hormone replacement therapy. It will be tailored specifically to fit you. The prescription will be filled at a compounding pharmacy in the form of a light cream, which you will apply to your skin every morning – you will be recommended to rotate application sites – inner upper arms, inner thighs, and buttocks.

Why We Avoid Pellet Implants

While some hormone therapy clinics implant hormone pellets under the skin, in our view, this is a more invasive and somewhat less natural approach.

The good news is that you can skip the scalpel because we can more easily and precisely fine-tune your hormone replacement dosage without implanting a foreign object in your body.

What Can I Expect with BHRT?

While results may vary, many women find they get relief from their symptoms almost immediately. However, it is important to track progress and work closely with your LifeWorks Wellness Center practitioner. After about 6 months, you should return to LifeWorks and have your hormone levels checked once again, to make sure you are moving closer toward your ideal balance.

For the best results, it is recommended that a woman get a baseline hormone level test when she is younger and in peak health. This provides a benchmark and greatly assists in rapidly balancing a patient’s hormone levels later in life when symptoms start to occur.

Not all-natural solutions for menopause symptoms involve Bioidentical hormones. LifeWorks practitioners are happy to discuss and recommend a number of natural supplements that will help to support the body during all three stages of the menopause years to help you re-gain a pre-menopausal life again.

Disclaimer

BHRT is a controversial approach to menopause that, while adopted by many physicians practicing integrative, complementary or alternative medicine, has not been adopted by physicians in conventional settings. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is skeptical that the scientific evidence supports this approach to care. Wyeth, a pharmaceutical company that manufacturers synthetic hormone replacement therapy has petitioned the FDA to limit certain compounds that may be used, which the FDA has granted. Not all compounds remain available, though the primary ingredients with clinical significance remain available. Large population studies of BHRT have not been conducted, and the information available about both the risks and benefits of natural hormone replacement are the result of clinical experience and applied knowledge of biochemistry rather than such studies.
