 Women's LifecyclesPeri-MenopauseHow do you know if and when you need supplementation to balance hormones naturally? As ovarian function wavers in the years approaching menopause, 40-something women begin to experience erratic cycles as estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate dozens of times a day from high to low, and back again. This causes shifting levels of other key hormones in the mix like DHEA, testosterone and cortisol - which negatively impacts overall hormonal imbalance. A whole new world of symptoms, from hot flashes and mood swings to high anxiety and low libido take women on a hormonal rollercoaster ride during the perimenopause years. Now the search for symptom relief begins in earnest!
Read the books, peruse the information on our website and take our quiz to determine your symptoms of hormonal imbalance. The next step is refer to the chart below, which will help you to match your lifecycle and symptoms of hormone balance with recommended over-the-counter supplements designed to help you rebalance your hormones naturally. Most people find relief by including lifestyle improvements and dietary supplements in their hormone balancing regimen.
The array of natural options offering symptom relief can be overwhelming to say the least, and at worst a minefield of misinformation. Needless to say it is crucial to know what you are getting and to trust that it is going to work for and not against you. This is the guiding mission of the Natural Hormone Institute, to cut through all the confusion and plethora of products to help women find their own personal route to hormonal health and balance. All hormone supplements made available to you through the NHI are bioidentical formulations that duplicate the natural physiology of hormones in the body, and are derived from natural and/or plant-based substances. Dr. Randolph specifically selects all over-the-counter formulations for their safety and effectiveness based on his double expertise as a compounding pharmacist and Ob-gyn successfully treating patients with hormone imbalance for decades.
The Natural Hormone Institute has created specific guidelines (chart below) to help you determine your individual supplementation needs and correct dosage. The type of supplementation you select depends on your age, menstrual history, symptoms, (and hormone test results if you have them). Recommended supplements are based on specific criteria set by the Natural Hormone Institute including: age range, life cycle and associated hormone level shifts, resulting type of imbalance/medical condition, and common symptoms. Note: all NHI hormonal supplements are bioidentical formulations that duplicate the natural physiology of hormones in the body. Ingredients as listed are derived from natural and/or plant-based substances. All formulations and recommended usage approved by Dr. C.W. Randolph.
The first question you should ask is what you can expect from a natural hormone balancing regime. The answer is simple: relief from unwanted symptoms! Periods may continue to be irregular in concert with Mother Nature’s plan as we get older, but you should expect fewer night sweats and hot flashes, improved moods, memory and sleep, renewed strength and energy, the ability to shed extra pounds more easily, and a belly that goes from fat to flatter. When and if symptoms persist, adrenal support, additional bioidentical hormone supplementation and/or a compounded formulation may also be required. Informed women know that when periods are irregular and bleeding is erratic, breasts are lumpy, belly is bulging, memory lapsing, thinking foggy, moods swinging, sleep fleeting, and libido AWOL, that all signs point to hormone imbalance. And the informed peri-menopausal woman knows what her body most likely needs: bioidentical progesterone to rebalance all her hormone levels especially excess estrogens (dominance) levels along with DHEA and adrenal support to bring cortisol stress hormones back in line and Vitamin D and calcium supplementation to prevent osteoporosis and maintain bone and muscle strength.
