Happy Hormones, the Hormone Replacement Specialists

TSH is not the only test for thyroid health, there are 5 tests for thyroid health: these include TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone); Free T4, Free T3 and anti-TPO (thyroid antibodies). And Reverse T3; unfortunately, provincial labs are not equipped to run this test.

Synthroid only contains T4, most of T4 gets converted to T3. However, sometimes the body fails to do this transfer well. Desiccated thyroid contains both T4&T3, this is a better option for some people.

Testosterone is not just for men; women produce it from their ovaries and adrenal gland. Micro-dosing (low dose) testosterone does not make women look or act like a man. I prescribe for both genders with great results. I measure baseline levels, then again in10 weeks, after any dosage changes and annually to keep you optimized.

Current data does not support testosterone a previously held belief that it causes prostate cancer, but monitoring PSA while on therapy is important.

BHRT is safe, with the right expert and with the right monitoring. We know now that the fear caused from studies such as the WHI was inappropriate and led to millions of women not getting evidence-based care for perimenopause and menopause.

The term Bioidentical Hormone Replacement (BHRT) refers to the molecular structure of the hormone, some bioidenticals are available through your regular pharmacy (such as estradiol and progesterone), others are compounded (such as Biest (estriol/estradiol) and testosterone.
