Episode 77: Answering Your Bioidentical Hormone Questions | The Basics of Hormone Therapy

In this week’s episode of the Health Ignited Podcast we’re answering your bioidentical hormone questions and discussing the basics of hormone therapy. 

This episode is packed with insight around hormone imbalance, testing and treatment, holistic hormone support, and the right time to implement a BHRT program.

The topic of hormones is dense and complex, and each of us has our own hormone blueprint that’s been created by a number of different factors, which means our needs are totally individual. When it comes to hormone therapy, we find that most people have a lot of questions. 

Who should start a bioidentical hormone replacement therapy program

What are the risks of BHRT?

How long should I be on hormone therapy?

What are the different hormone tests available, and which one should I use?

We want to help break through the confusion around hormones and BHRT and start answering some of the common questions we receive. In this episode, we talk about the reasons we might seek BHRT at different points in our lives, who this treatment works best for, and some potential challenges of working with hormone therapy. We also cover:

• The behaviour and communication of hormones at different life stages
• The difference between synthetic and bioidentical hormones
• Fear points and varying perspectives on hormone therapy
• Understanding your unique hormone blueprint - read more here: https://www.drsonyajensen.com/blog/what-are-your-hormones-telling-you

• Important markers for determining hormone resiliency
• The importance of detox and liver support - read more here: https://www.drsonyajensen.com/blog/hormones-and-detox

Your hormone profile is unique, and you should always have the support of a health provider on your hormone health journey.
