Hormones

The vital hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and others in our bodies decline as we age.  And, as we age, other hormones like cortisol are up regulated and can accelerate the process of aging and chronic disease.  Therefore, aging itself, is inevitable.  Conventional medicine generally considers declining hormones and the aging process to be normal, therefore offer little more than pharmaceuticals to treat the conditions that are caused by lifestyle choices and underlying imbalances.  Using natural, bio-identical hormones, we can restore the body’s hormone levels to a more youthful level and together with the other components in the Walck to Wellness, give the body the opportunity to restore health and gain wellness naturally.

Bio-Identical hormones are natural hormones, compounded specially to be an exact match to the molecular composition of the body’s hormones.  These are much different from commonly prescribed hormone therapies.  Conventional hormone therapies do not take your individual metabolism into account and the levels are difficult to regulate.  You may get more or less than you need, and cause your body to be further out of balance, and even create dangerous by-products.  Bio Identical hormones are much safer than conventional hormones, however, like most treatments there are risks.  The risks and benefits of hormone replacement are carefully reviewed with the clinicians during your visits allowing you to make the decision that is best for you.
