I can speak personally about this. After my hysterectomy, I went from low risk to medium risk. Hormones were suspected to have a large influence. Bio-indenticals have helped lower my risk of breast cancer and improved my well being immensly!
💖 Hormones & Health: What You Need to Know! 💖
Ladies, let's get real about hormones! We're talking about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and how to make informed choices for your health.
Important point: Traditional HRT has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. This was highlighted in studies, including the Women's Health Initiative, which was stopped early in 2002 due to these concerns.
The good news? There are alternatives! Natural bio-identical hormones, derived from plants like soy and yams, offer a different approach.
Could hormone balancing be right for you? Consider these symptoms:
* Persistent fatigue
* Breast tenderness (especially pre-period)
* Anxiety, headaches, sleep troubles
* Low libido or depression
* Menopause symptoms (hot flashes, etc.)
Key things to remember:
* Consult with your doctor! It's not a one-size-fits-all solution.
* Bio-identical hormones may be a safer alternative.
* Transdermal (cream) application is often recommended over oral forms.
