Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Naturopaths in Eugene, 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.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Naturopaths
What is bioidentical hormone therapy?
Bioidentical hormone therapy refers to a specific type of hormone therapy used to supplement the body’s natural hormone levels. It is most commonly employed to treat menopausal symptoms in older women—such as hot flashes and sleep disturbances—that arise from a decline in the ovarian hormone estrogen during menopause. The replacement of estrogen in these cases is typically achieved through oral medications or transdermal patches, which can help alleviate symptoms by regulating the body’s hormonal levels. In bioidentical hormone therapy, the goal is similar: to regulate hormones effectively. However, this approach utilizes “bioidentical” substances that mimic naturally occurring hormones due to their similar chemical structures and are usually derived from plants. Examples of bioidentical hormones include estradiol and micronized progesterone. Unfortunately, while many believe that bioidentical hormones are more effective due to their “natural” origins, there is limited evidence to suggest they are safer than traditional hormone therapy. In fact, due to the less regulated nature of many naturopathic supplements—including those used in bioidentical hormone therapy—clients should always consult with a qualified physician to ensure that their chosen hormone replacement therapy is both effective and safe.
