BIOIDENTICAL VS SYNTHETIC HORMONES

Bioidentical means the hormone has the same molecular structure as what the ovaries/testicles make so they are inherent to the human body. Synthetic hormones such as Premarin and Provera, as demonstrated by the Women’s Health Initiative Study, have been linked to significantly increased health risks including blood clots, heart attacks and strokes. For this reason, here at Enliven Medical we recommend and prescribe bioidentical hormones, we do not use synthetic hormones. Since we prescribe bioidentical hormones, we don’t see the side effects or risks typically associated with synthetic hormones. There is extensive research that shows a decrease in these risks when using bioidentical hormones.

Evidence based medicine and patient education is important to any medical treatment. At Enliven medical, we discuss misinformation surrounding hormone replacement by educating our patients; empowering them to make informed decisions that are best for them and their health and wellbeing.
