First of all, I would like to thank everyone who joined us for our first Women’s Wellness event, Healthy Choices for Menopause Designed for You. Our next event will be about Perimenopause on November 18th and we hope to be able to have it in person this time!
In case you weren’t able to attend, I would like to recap some of the topics we talked about here. Make an appointment for a consultation or swing in to pick up some new supplements!

What is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy? (BHRT)
A bioidentical steroid hormone is not human in origin but is identical in organic structure and function to human hormones. Diosgenin is extracted from wild yam and soybeans and is then chemically altered to become the exact structures of the human steroids.
Benefits of BHRT:
The same exact molecular structure as those made by the human body.
Produce the same physiological responses as endogenous hormones.
BHRT should be administered in a manner that imitates the body’s natural ratios and mechanisms…and this is where we, as your compounding HRT pharmacists can help.
