How to minimize risks of Hormone use?
If you read Suzanne Somers new book- Ageless- The naked Truth about Bio-identical Hormones, the doctors she interviewed in this book recommend the following to lower your risk in hormone supplementation.
1. Only use Bio-identical Hormones. BHRT molecules are the same as the molecules your body produces itself.
2. Individualize treatment for every patient. Only Bio-identical hormones can be tailored to your individual need. It is common sense to know that every patient is different so treatment and dosing should be individualized.
3. Prescribe the lowest possible dose. If you are taking a one-size fits all product then the chances are you are either over dosing or under dosing. Either way this will increase your risks of no effects or side effects.
