Bio-Identical Hormones - natural!

  • Bio-Identical Hormones - Myths, Facts, Benefits and Dangers

    13 MAR 2023 · Dr. Wald's new phone number: 914-552-1442 Natural hormones are hormones that are found in the body naturally – meaning, that the body manufactures (i.e, endogenously) these hormones. Natural hormones are thought to be best for the body in “supplement form”, when they are either obtained or manufactured to be “bio-identical” to the hormones that the bodies of both men and women produce. Progesterone and estrogens for example can be produced from wild yams; but, since they are produced in a laboratory and are identical to endogenously produced hormones in people, they are still considered natural.So called natural hormones are thought to be better for the body than synthetic in that synthetic forms seem to cause fewer unwanted long and short-term side effects. Dr. Wald recognizes the hormonal needs of many of his patients and provides several natural hormones when indicated. Dr. Wald says, “hormones from the outside (exogenously produced), have their place in health, but I prefer to use healthy lifestyle and nutrition to enable the body to produce its own hormones – this to me seems the most natural.As far as hormone testing is concerned, tests for hormones are well known to be inaccurate at times. Dr. Wald therefore relies on testing, but emphasizes careful consultation and hormonal and health questionnaires, to narrow down the hormone(s) that he targets through various natural approaches. One’s diet, stress and sleep hygiene, environmental exposure, medications, genetics and many other factors are carefully considered by Dr. Wald towards his natural efforts to manage hormonal imbalance.

Who wants to live longer, as we do today, but with impaired memory, loss of sex drive and suffering from heart disease and diabetes? The answer is few people do – optimizing one’s hormone levels has been shown to improve sex drive, overall sense of wellbeing, burn fat, strengthen bones, help maintain muscle throughout the body, lower cholesterol levels, improve memory and help ward off almost every major killer of modern living…and that’s not all!

We human beings age in die largely because our hormone levels diminish or fade away completely resulting in loss of quality of life and shorter life span. Women are outliving men in part because of estrogen levels. Estrogens signal longevity genes in the body that reduce the formation of molecules I like to call “cell-killers”, otherwise known as free radicals. Free radicals cause genetic damage resulting in shorter lifespans from disease. Studies in men demonstrate similar health promoting effects of testosterone, but in both men and women, it is the combined effects of many dozens of hormones that get the job done! My research has demonstrated that every single thing you eat has an effect, either positively or negatively, upon hormonal levels providing the opportunity to “turn the hormonal tide” in your favor – living better!. How do you get the hormone balance right? Listen here!
