Natural hormones are derived from plant sources, usually soy or yam, and then modified to become chemically identical to human hormones so as to be able to “unlock” the body’s receptor sites. Because they are exactly what the human body produces, we refer to these hormones as biologically identical or “Bio-Identical” for short. These prescription-only hormones are then used to replace missing or depleted levels in the body.In order to look and feel your best, men and women must maintain a proper balance of the natural hormones including:
- Estrogens
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- DHEA
- Pregnenolone
- Cortisol
- Thyroid
Bio-identical hormones, naturally occurring in the human body, cannot be patented by drug companies and are supplied by a compounding pharmacy. A large number of studies suggest the balanced use of natural hormones help patients feel better and possibly lower the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women:
As a woman ages, her body produces lower amounts of hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Hot flashes, sleeplessness, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, loss of libido, fatigue, foggy brain, and weight gain are all symptoms caused by declining hormone levels and resulting hormone imbalance. Experts believe hormones can offer protection from diseases such as osteoporosis, colorectal cancer and heart disease, because as hormone levels decline, there is a greater risk of developing these diseases.
With customized hormone therapy, hormones that a woman’s body is no longer producing can be replaced. At MedSpa SPI, we can order customized hormone therapy using hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally found in the body. This is important because natural hormones work in receptor sites like keys in a lock, opening the door to optimal health. Synthetic hormones and those derived from pregnant mares’ urine are not chemically identical to our natural hormones and are NOT the proper “keys to the lock”. These have been shown to increase the incidence of health risks and undesirable side effects.
To be most effective, we use our specialized software program to perform a complete evaluation of your signs, symptoms, medical history, and assessment of your current hormone levels. We will work with you to develop a customized hormone therapy in the most appropriate strength and dosage form. After using the hormones a few months, we will monitor your hormone levels and symptoms and make the appropriate adjustment to achieve optimum hormone balance and symptom relief. Customized hormone therapy has improved the quality of life for millions of women, ask us how we can help you.
