I just wanted you to know how blessed I am to have a doctor who has gone the extra mile for his patients. I am 72 years of age and have been to sleep studies and several doctors in different states and I felt uneasy with all of them but two.
You have been able to answer my questions and help me with bio-identical hormones and much more. I wanted to let you know that I am sleeping better, have more confidence, have a healthier sense of well being and feeling younger again. Each day is a good day to live. You don’t always tell me what I want to hear, but I have learned to trust you. Thank you. -A.H.
Bioidentical Hormones & Integrative Medicine
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is the replacement of male and female hormones which the human body has made naturally until sometime in middle age when it begins to fail. In women, this stage of life is known as menopause and in men as andropause. In contrast to synthetic hormone replacement therapy which is what most primary care physicians prescribe in pill or patch form, bioidentical estradiol replacement therapy has shown no increase incidence of cancer with use up to 10 years. In fact, published research in the last five years suggests that bioidentical estradiol may in fact lessen the possibility of breast cancers.
Dr. Speight looks at the body from a systems point of view as opposed to a symptoms perspective. An integrative medicine practitioner may discover that different symptoms come from the one source. For illnesses that are rooted in hormonal imbalances, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy can eliminate those symptoms at their source. After tailoring a personalized Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy program, Mark O’Neal Speight, M.D. addresses unique imbalances and corrects the levels of numerous important hormones. Some of the hormones that can regain balance with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy include:
- Hormones Balanced with Natural Hormone Therapy
-
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- Cortisol
- Melatonin
- DHEA
- Pregnenolone
- Thyroid Hormone
Imbalances within these hormones are the root causes for numerous different health disorders. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are primary sex hormones that work to control sexual function, reproduction, vitality, and youthfulness. Typically, these hormones decline or become imbalanced due to stress or aging. Cortisol, DHEA, and pregnenolone are adrenal hormones that work to reduce inflammation, balance immunity, protect the nervous system, and produce other hormones. They commonly decline due to high stress, lack of sleep, or aging. The pineal gland and pituitary hormones include melatonin, and thyroid hormone, and they work to control sleep, cycles, and almost all aspects of energy and metabolic functions in the body.
