BodyLogicMD Leads Industry in Safe Menopausal Relief through Hormone Therapy

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--As the ten-year anniversary of the halting of the controversial Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) approaches, the journal, Climacteric, by the International Menopause Society publishes a series of articles offering conclusive evidence that the benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) outweigh the risks.

The WHI study began in 1991 to test the safety and efficacy of synthetic hormone therapy, not bioidentical. In July of 2002, data from the WHI suggested that therapy using synthetic estrogen and progestin (synthetic progesterone) increased the risk of heart disease, stroke and breast cancer in women compared with those taking a placebo. The study was promptly halted and left a foul stigma associated with hormone replacement therapy and millions of women without hope for relief from the symptoms of menopause. The physicians of BodyLogicMD, along with researchers and medical experts from around the country, continued to seek alternative solutions and understand the reasons behind these findings.

Large scale analyses and comparative research has found that the risks observed in the WHI study pertained primarily to women who began HRT after menopause, in fact, the majority of women in the HRT study were twelve years past menopause when treatment was initiated. The articles in the journal unveil a series of conclusive findings that HRT benefits supersede the risks, including lowering the risk of heart disease, stroke, colorectal cancer, breast cancer and improving bone density.

The physicians of BodyLogicMD have led the industry in providing safe and effective treatment through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women experiencing symptoms of menopause. The medical expertise offered by this group of highly-trained physicians ensures that patients embrace a healthy lifestyle, offering fitness regimens and nutritional plans to accompany hormone therapy.
