Many women are embarrassed \u00a0and are not addressing health concerns of menopause or perimenopause with their doctors. \u00a0 Dr. Wolfman, a menopause specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital stated that “it is estimated that 4.5 million Canadian women, between ages 48 and 67 , are or will soon be going through menopause” (Ottawa Citizen Sat Oct 26, 2013)<\/p>\n
After seeing their family doctor, or gynaecologist, many ladies feel better and have their symptoms controlled. \u00a0As everyone knows, keeping an optimal weight, not smoking, \u00a0doing exercise and ensuring blood pressure and cholesterol are under control are a few of the steps one can take to ensure good health.<\/p>\n
But, for some ladies, the traditional approach isn’t quite enough. \u00a0Although the thyroid and other hormones appear to be normal by our usual lab values, they still don’t feel right. \u00a0This is where Bio-identical hormones can play a role. \u00a0There are a few pharmaceutical products with a DIN number that are “bio-identical”. \u00a0But failing this, a different approach may be taken by practitioners who are trained in bio-identical hormones. \u00a0At Clarite, we do have such a clinic.<\/p>\n
Dr Erika Schwartz is a leading expert on Bioidentical Hormones and has written several books including “The Hormone Solution”. \u00a0Our medical director has received physician \u00a0training by Dr Schwartz and is informed as to which alternatives are available. \u00a0For more information visit Dr Erika’s website<\/a>. \u00a0She has a series of youtube videos explaining bio-identical hormones .
