Menopause Herbal - Balancing Your Hormones Naturally -- What To Do First

One of the questions which I often get asked is "What steps do I have to take to begin getting my hormones in balance?" The following is what I recommend:

Test your hormone levels. This should be carried out through the use of both saliva testing and blood testing. For more info on how you can do this yourself, call Oasis Advanced Wellness regarding how to obtain kits to use in the privacy of your own home. You'll need to test for estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol.

Educate yourself on the topic of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and balancing your hormones naturally. A great place to begin is my e-book--Balancing Your Hormones Without Drugs...You are able to Feel Good Again and likewise at www.menopause-pms-progesterone.org. This will not only address your hormone issues but also enable you to bring your entire body into balance...from the comfort of your own home. You are able to purchase this at www.oasisserene.com.

Bring your results to a doctor that you trust and one which works with bio-identical hormones. If you can't locate a healthcare professional in your area, we offer telephone consults and will be glad to help you in reaching your health goals. Make sure that you employ a healthcare professional that will work as a team-player. Ultimately, you are the one responsible for your health - not your physician.

If you are presently on HRT, go to www.oasisserene.com for instructions on how to get off HRT. You'll have to wean yourself off steadily. As good as bio-identical hormones replacement therapy is, it's not an end-all. Your goal ought to be to bring your body into total health and balance. Be willing to address detoxification, diet, water in-take, supplementation, exercise, physical / emotional stress and environment. This is a necessity. Once you begin on a program, your hormone levels ought to be watched every three months for one year. This eliminates all of the guesswork regarding whether or not what you are doing is actually working. The objective should be to get your system balanced and to hopefully stimulate the hormones to start producing again.

About Supplements: It will be easy for me to include, in the above suggestions, vitamin/supplement recommendations such as B-Complex, Vitamin E, etc. The reason that I don't is simply because many will head to a local drugstore or grocery store to buy these supplements. All supplements/vitamins are not produced equal. Occasionally the fillers and excipients can negate any benefit that you simply might get from the vitamin. I believe this is one reason why natural medicine is not taken seriously by many people. They tried a $9.95 supplement and it did not work, so therefore the reasoning is that utilizing a natural approach does not work. It could be over whelming and time-consuming to decide which supplements are best and which ones will work. This is why I believe it's important to have a healthcare professional on your team who is trained in knowing what supplements will be absorbed, transported and utilized effectively by the body. For info about the supplements which we recommend to our clients get the e-book - Balancing Your Hormones Without Drugs...You Can Feel Good Again.
