hormone benefits

Protects against Heart Disease, Stroke, Osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s Disease and Memory Disorders.
Prevents Vaginal Atrophy, Urinary Incontinence, Urinary Tract Infections (UTI's), Macular Degeneration, Colon Cancer, and Cataracts.
Prevents Menopausal Hot Flashes, Temperature Dysregulation, and Mood Disorders.

Important for menopausal, perimenopausal, premenopausal, and pregnant And Post-partum women.
Moderates many side effects of excess estrogen.
Reduces fluid retention, bloating, headache, bleeding, and fibroids.
Progesterone is synergistic to estrogen’s effect on bone and lipids; it is antagonistic to estrogen in the breast and uterus.
Decreases headaches, cyclical migraines, and bloating associated with menstruation when used in high doses.
Natural progesterone (MP or OMP) protects against uterine and breast carcinoma, osteoporosis, fibrocystic disease, ovarian cysts, CAD, and ovarian cancer.
No woman should be deprived of P4, despite most MD’s not understanding the benefits.
Reduces symptoms of PMS, perimenopause, and menopause.
P4 protects against breast cancer, uterine cancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease (recall the PEPI trial), whereas MPA increases these risks. P4 ≠ MPA.
Also, can be used to prevent first trimester miscarriage (common in PCOS) and post-partum depression.

Improved well-being, energy, strength and endurance.
Improved body composition, bone density, sexual function, and clitoral sensitivity.
Decrease in visceral fat.
Maintenance of muscle mass which maintains metabolism.
Increases collagen and skin thickness, leading to improved skin texture.
Decrease in wrinkles, fat deposition, and cellulite. Similar benefits to women as to men.

Increases muscle mass, strength, endurance, and exercise tolerance, all of which improve quality of life.
Improves libido, erectile function, and sexual performance.
Reduces body fat, both visceral and subcutaneous.
Lowers cholesterol and improves all lipid parameters.
Improves lean muscle mass, bone density, skin tone, and collagen.
Facilitates healing.
Protects against cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and arthritis.
Improves cognition and enhances memory.
Protective for the cardiovascular, neurologic, musculoskeletal, vascular, and immune systems.
Lowers insulin resistance, lowers incidence of syndrome X, and improves metabolism.
It takes 6-12 months to lose VF and decrease lipids; weight loss is not immediate but gradual.

Influences stage IV sleep and REM sleep.
Improves sleep pattern, as well as depth and quality of sleep.
Energizer and mood enhancer.
Increases natural killer cells and modulates immune function.
Lowers blood pressure.
Decreases migraines and cluster headaches.
Reduces nocturia by increasing stage IV sleep.
Possesses potent antioxidative effects. Scavenger of the most reactive and destructive free radical–the hydroxyl radical.
Multiple studies demonstrate benefit in preventing and treating cancer.

Protects against cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cognitive impairment, fatigue, weight gain, increased cholesterol, and memory loss.
Thyroid hormones regulate body temperature, metabolism, cerebral function, energy, and fat burning.
Increased metabolism and lipolysis which leads to weight loss and lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
Many studies demonstrate that only high physiologic levels result in resolution of symptoms.
May restore normal menstruation and fertility in PCOS.

Reduces cardiovascular risks by increasing lipolysis (decrease visceral fat).
Stimulates the immune system, restores sexual vitality, improves mood, decreases cholesterol, and body fat.
Improves memory, increases energy, and has anti-cancer properties by enhancing the immune system.
Antidepressant.
Endocrine precursor to other hormones, prevents immune-senescence, loss of sleep, osteoporosis and atherosclerosis, reduces insulin requirement, and improves quality of life.
