This document discusses hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and hormone restoration therapy. It defines the differences between the two approaches and describes the types and dosing methods of HRT. It also discusses misperceptions about HRT and summarizes the flaws in the Women's Health Initiative study on HRT. Throughout, it promotes bioidentical, cyclic dosed hormone restoration as the optimal approach.
HRT vs HRT (Part Two)
- 1. Part Two
- 2. What is Hormone Replacement Therapy? Hormone replacement therapy refers bioidentical or synthetic hormones at a low dose, static dose, wherein the patient receives hormones at the lowest possible doses to treat the maximum amount of symptoms.
- 3. What is Hormone Restoration Therapy? Hormone restoration therapy refers to bioidentical, cyclic dosed wherein the patient receives hormones dosed in a rhythmic fashion to mimic a woman’s body, at optimal healthy levels, eliminate symptoms.
- 4. Two forms of HRT 1. Synthetic: manufactured with chemicals in a pharmaceutical plant. 1. Bioidentical hormones: plant base, similar molecular structure as our own body.
- 5. Types of HRT
- 6. Three types of HRT 1. Synthetic, low dose, static dose 2. Bioidentical, low dose, static dose 3. Bioidentical, optimal dose, cyclic dose
- 7. 3 Dosing Methods of HRT 1. Static: same dose every day 2. Semi-static: on one week, off the next concept 3. Cyclic or Rhythmic: dosed to mimic the natural cycle of the human body
- 11. 10 Misperceptions of HRT #1 Hormones Cause Cancer If this were true, we’d all be dead. Synthetic hormones cause cancer, bioidentical hormones do not. You are at greater risk for cancer if your estrogen is in the tank. Estrogen is especially designed to protect a woman’s body from the degenerative diseases of aging, including cancer.
- 12. 10 Misperceptions of HRT #2 There’s only one kind of HRT There a couple ways to treat hormone deficiencies; treat the symptoms with a synthetic or natural low, static dose, or restore natural hormones to optimal levels, dosed in a cyclical manner that mimics a woman’s natural cycle.
- 13. 10 Misperceptions of HRT #3 Hormones are for old women There is a huge misconception that we get our hormones at puberty, and we all produce enough hormones. PMS, perimenopause, and menopause are a direct result of estrogen deficiency, and can happen at any age.
- 14. 10 Misperceptions of HRT #4 Too old for hormones Many women think once they’ve “passed” the “change”, they don’t need hormones. When women say this, it tells me how much they don’t know about HRT and the benefits of replacing the hormones that give life. Women feel much better on the right kind of HRT. With the right amount of estrogen, a woman can rebuild her bones, decreasing her risk, or reversing osteoporosis.
- 15. 10 Misperceptions of HRT #5 Doctors know how to prescribe HRT Make sure before taking hormones to ask your provider where they received their hormone training. Your doctor may have a strong opinion about hormones but are not forthcoming with their lack of knowledge in this area, and can make a mess of the patient. It’s okay to ask your doctor about their training and the focus of their practice. It’s your body and your life. Hormones regulate everything in the human body, and you have a right to proper HRT.
- 16. 10 Misperceptions of HRT #6 Lowest dose is best With the lack of knowledge and training in HRT, doctors are telling their patients ‘the lowest dose for the shortest amount of time’ is best. This method is taught at the A4M and other HRT educators with the mindset that estrogen causes. Hormones need to be restored to levels that mimic a healthy woman, not an unhealthy woman. The goal is to fix the cause of hormone deficiency by naturally restoring hormones instead of treating the symptoms of hormone deficiency with a low, static dose.
- 18. 10 Misperceptions of HRT #7 Use only for the shortest amount of time Uneducated doctors suggest this because they’ve been lied to that hormones cause cancer. If a woman’s hormones are balanced correctly, she will want to be on them as long as she can. Staying on them as long as she can will help her fight and reverse the degenerative diseases of aging, and make her feel better than she can remember.
- 19. 10 Misperceptions of HRT #8 Use the same dose every day This is a one-size-fits all mentality. Every woman’s body works a little differently and her hormones should be dosed as such. Proper HRT is like a recipe. We may have the same ingredients to the recipe, but the measurements and dosing will be different for everyone. Why give the same dose everyday if our bodies don’t function that way?
- 20. 10 Misperceptions of HRT #9 One size fits all No two women are the same. Uneducated doctors read the hormone sample insert in the box on how to dose the hormone, slap a patch on the patient, give her a years prescription, and call it HRT. Proper hormone restoration involves dosing the patient based on her body size, body type, her symptoms, level of deficiency, and how long she’s been deficient. These are very critical elements in dosing.
- 21. 10 Misperceptions of HRT #10 It’s quick and simple The last thing proper HRT is: quick and simple. Patients who are looking for a quick fix get terribly disappointed. Proper HRT is not conventional medicine. Every patient is different and needs to be dosed and treated as such. Proper HRT is a process over a period of time. Women feel better and better, month after month, for some up to a year until they reach their “sweet spot”.
- 22. 5 Flaws of the Women’s Health Initiative 1. Hormones used in the study were Premarin and Prempro
- 23. 5 Flaws of the Women’s Health Initiative 2. Static, low dose, continuous therapy
- 24. 5 Flaws of the Women’s Health Initiative 3. Oral route of estrogen administration
- 25. 5 Flaws of the Women’s Health Initiative 4. Physiologic consequences to taking estrogen orally
- 26. 5 Flaws of the Women’s Health Initiative 5. Many statistical flaws: http://goo.gl/q6qik
- 27. Estrogen does NOT cause cancer
- 29. No HRT Education • “My doctor says estrogen causes cancer” • “My OB-Gyn said I should take the lowest dose possible to treat the symptoms” • “My doctor said I should get a hysterectomy if I don’t like my horrible periods” • “My doctor said low dose HRT is better” • “My doctor said take the lowest possible dose for the shortest possible time” Don’t be afraid to ask your doctor where they received their HRT fellowship
- 30. Functional Menopause Medicine • What are the hormone levels? • How long has she been deficient? • What are the symptoms? • What does the blood work indicate? • What is the patient eating? • How is the patient sleeping? • What activities does the patient have? • What stress is the patient under?

It features specially selected herbs and nutrients that support the adrenal glands’ adaptive response as well as support circulation, relaxation and overall well-being. Featuring a non soy derived source of isoflavones, MedCaps Menopause may also beneficially influence estrogen receptor function.
- 40. PMS Soothe™ is a comprehensive blend of Native American and Chinese herbs traditionally used to provide balance and support for a healthy menstrual cycle.
- 41. Hormone Protect™ is an ideal combination of DIM (diindolylmethane) and SGS™ (glucoraphanin) that helps protect estrogen-sensitive tissues by promoting healthy estrogen metabolism and supporting detoxification and neutralization of harmful estrogen metabolites and xenoestrogens.
- 42. ProbioMax DDS™ is a chewable probiotic designed to activate in the oral cavity for support of healthy teeth and gums. As you chew it releases the safe and powerful DDS-18™ strain of Streptococcus salivarius—a beneficial bacterium that normally occurs in a healthy oral cavity.
