Natural Hormone Therapy

Hormones direct our bodies, telling us when to grow, when to slow, and every step to take in between. Hormone levels change over a lifetime, presenting special challenges and transitional periods. Pre-menopause and menopause are natural transitional hormone periods in the human life cycle, much like that of puberty. These should be experienced as a natural stage of life, rather than being viewed as something to escape. Many hormonal symptoms are due to an imbalance of hormones, rather than a shortage.

In mainstream medicine, hormonal symptoms (PMS) and menopause are seen as hormonal deficiency, and women are often forced to try to live with hormone levels associated with childbearing years. Routine treatment is synthetic hormone replacement therapy, which has been shown to increase risks of breast cancer, strokes, heart attacks, blood clots, cardiovascular disease and dementia. The federal government has added estrogens used in postmenopausal hormone therapy and oral contraceptives to its list of “known” human carcinogens.

Hormone imbalances are not just exclusive to women, nor are they exclusive to older people. Hormones are found in many types of food, especially in meats. The effects are being seen even in children who are hitting puberty at a much earlier age than in years past. Symptoms of hormone imbalance include; anxiety, mood swings, poor sleep quality, vaginal dryness, memory problems, blood sugar highs and lows, night sweats, hot flashes, water retention, depressed libido, and depression.

Hormones are “chemical messengers” which are produced and secreted by numerous glands in the body. Once a hormone is released into the bloodstream, it instructs target cells and/or glands to produce particular substances (such as other hormones). These hormones stimulate or inhibit the actions of cells everywhere, depending on the needs of the body. Thus, although very different in their function, different hormones are dependent on each other to produce a balanced chemical environment in the body. If the body is toxic and not functioning at optimal levels, it may not be able to produce and regulate hormone levels as needed.

M’lis Program Highlights:

• Detoxification (body cleansing) is a critical internal program for hormone imbalances, to help eliminate accumulated toxins and wastes and to strengthen vital organs.
• Hydration is critical – drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water to speed up cleansing and elimination.
• A diet high in plant sterols, which are easily converted to human estrogens and progesterone in the body, has been shown to reduce or eliminate menopausal symptoms. Plant sterols help the body make and take whatever it needs.
• M’lis Balance, DHEA and Wild Yam Cream are used to help stimulate the body to make and utilize all of its own necessary hormones.
• Exercise to improve internal sluggishness and poor elimination, both of which contribute to hormonal imbalances.
