When It Comes to Balancing Hormones, Green is the Way to Go
BodyLogicMD’s highly trained bioidentical hormone doctors offer green solutions
to balancing hormones with natural bioidentical hormone therapy. Saint Louis, MI, April 13, 2010 -- The modern environmental movement known as Ea rth Day began 40 years ago and is celebrated in April to offer awareness and tea ch responsibility about the environment and the protection of Mother Earth. Body LogicMD’s expert physicians are one step ahead with their green approach to bala ncing hormones by using all natural bioidentical hormones in their medical pract ices. BodyLogicMD’s bioidentical hormone doctors help women and men find relief from s ymptoms of hormonal imbalance often brought on by perimenopuase, menopause and a ndropause using natural Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. (BHRT) Bioiden tical hormones are a natural, safer alternative to synthetic HRT, because they a re custom-compounded specifically for each patient and have an identical molecul ar structure to the hormones our body already produces, making them a better fit , therefore reducing the risk of side effects. “In addition to mounting environmental concerns, American health is hanging on b y a thread,” shares Dr. Bryan Warner. “Over the past 40 years, we’ve seen a dram atic increase in allergies, skin problems, infertility, immune disorders and can cers. This is largely due to the introduction of wide variety of chemicals and t oxins into our daily lives, which have been linked to everything from hormonal i mbalances to inflammation. It’s vital that we make lifestyle adjustments to ‘go green’, such as using natural hormones to balance hormone levels, making better choices about what we put into our bodies, incorporating healthy stress reductio n techniques and partaking in regular exercise, to keep our bodies in check.” With Earth Day upon us, St. Louis bioidentical hormones expert, Dr. Warner share s some tips on what women and men can do to live better, longer, by “going green ”: • Go organic - Try to incorporate more organic foods into your diet and limit yo ur intake of processed foods or foods that are high in simple sugars and carbohy drates. Organic farmers don’t use antibiotics, growth hormones or chemical ferti lizers to maintain their crops and livestock. Instead, they use natural alternat ives such as manure or compost to fertilize crops and feed their animals only 10 0% organic certified feed. Many of the synthetic hormones used to expedite the g rowth and development of livestock contain chemical compounds that can act as ho rmones in the human body and disrupt many of the body’s biological processes. • Blow off some steam – Don’t let stress get in the way of your life. Chronic st ress increases the production of the stress hormone known as cortisol. Cortisol aids in the body’s biological response to stress and anxiety and helps to height ens the body’s senses and improve metabolism in times of peril. Unfortunately, h igh cortisol levels can cause other hormonal imbalances, such as adrenal fatigue and suppressed thyroid function. Breathing exercises, meditation or simply taki ng time to recollect can effectively lower cortisol levels and significantly red uce stress. • Ditch the chemicals – Did you ever think that maybe – just maybe – the chemica ls we we’re using to rid our homes of mold, mildew and bacteria, were actually m aking us sick? Many of the household cleansers we use to keep our homes squeaky clean pose a wide variety of health risks including hives, asthma, skin burns an d lesions, hair loss, breast development (in men), facial hair growth (in women) , liver damage and cancer. Natural cleansers work just as well and don’t contain toxic ingredients. Lemon, vinegar and borax are all great alternatives to name- brand cleansers found on grocery store shelves and can be purchased at half the price too.BodyLogicMD • Balance hormones naturally – Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical t o the hormones that our bodies would produce naturally, making them not only saf er, but also more effective than synthetic HRT. When it comes to hormone replace ment, using bioidentical hormones is as green as it gets. This Earth Day, make it a priority to take some steps towards a greener, healthi er lifestyle. Making proactive choices is the key to optimal health and when we make a conscious effort to let our health take precedence in our lives, we avoid many of the health challenges oftentimes associated with aging. Although aging gracefully can seem like a daunting task, the recipe for living better, longer c an be as simple as making a few lifestyle changes.
