Natural Hormone Replacement Naturopaths in Bend, OR
While naturopathic doctors certainly recognize the importance of diagnosis, we are committed to looking beyond the label of a disease, and identifying its causal mechanisms. So, when it comes to mental or physical health, my goal is to treat the patient - not the just the DSM or the ICD10 code. This means engaging in a thorough and individualized assessment of the psychological, biochemical, and environmental factors that interact to produce emotional and bodily suffering. As the set of causes for each person's symptoms is unique, so must be the treatment.

Natural Hormone Replacement Naturopaths
What is natural hormone replacement therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) refers to the use of supplements to support the body’s natural hormone levels. It is most commonly used to treat menopausal symptoms in older women—such as hot flashes and sleep disturbances—that arise from the decline in the ovarian hormone estrogen during menopause. Estrogen replacement, typically delivered via oral medication or transdermal patches, can help alleviate these symptoms by stabilizing hormone levels. In natural HRT, “bioidentical” hormones are used, which mimic naturally occurring hormones due to their similar chemical structure, although they are typically plant-derived. Given the less regulated nature of many naturopathic supplements, including those used in natural HRT, clients should consult a qualified physician to ensure that any hormone replacement intervention is both safe and effective.
