Hormone Imbalance•Normal balance of hormones

(young woman) is 2:1 Estradiol to Estrone.

•Synthetic HRT (oral estrogen): the ratio converts to 1:2. (more Estrone)

•High levels of Estrone are responsible for an increase in breast cancer in women taking oral estrogen for longer than 10 years

The Research


Bioidentical Hormones• Biologically Identical / “Natural”

Hormones: molecularly identical to the hormones that are produced in the body

• This means if implanted just under the skin they are biologically available whenever needed

• Absorbed directly• Produces a steady-state with

consistent serum levels


Potential Side Effects of Oral Estrogen Therapy

•Pigs•Horses

2002 Women’s Health Initiative Study:

•The largest, most rigorous study ever on hormone therapy

•Increased risk of Endometrial Cancer

•Increased risk of Breast Cancer

•Blood Clots

•Heart Disease


• Produces a “roller coaster” effect

• Reverse the estradiol / estrone ratio from 2:1 to 1:2

• Breast stimulators• Fluid retention and weight gain• “First pass” metabolism through

the liver to be activated• You have to take something

EVERY day• Increases the chance of breast

cancer after 10 years

FACTS: Synthetic Hormones


What would my doctor say?

“There is still a lot of

confusion even among

physicians about

hormone therapy, and

many avoid prescribing

it. It can be a real

problem for women to

find a doctor who is

willing to discuss all the

benefits and risks of

hormone therapy."JoAnn Manson, MD
