Basically, what you need to know about hormones is here:
When it comes to hormones, beware of radicalism... Neither 8 nor 80, or the patient will end up the loser.
- Hormones should not be raised to supra-physiological levels. That's risky. In other words, as with everything in life, avoid excesses: all excesses are bad for you, not just hormones (even water, exercise, etc.).
- Hormones work together, one affecting the other. In other words, evaluating and modulating just one or the other rarely provides the right balance for the body, which needs a balance between all of them. This is why incomplete assessments usually lead to unsatisfactory results.
- Those with hormonal symptoms and disorders need to balance their hormones. It's as simple as that. Often, it's enough to improve lifestyle habits (water intake, adequate exercise, good diet, good sleep, stress reduction, etc.), detoxify, replenish vitamins/minerals, etc., and hormones are produced correctly again. But this doesn't always happen! And for these cases, rational replacement (or modulating excesses) must be assessed, planned and carried out, or it is the patient who suffers due to the prejudices of some professionals (many of whom are uninformed and others who are really hard-headed) about replacing what needs to be replaced. For example, how would a patient with hypothyroidism fare? What about a patient who has always been fine but started having symptoms just after the menopause? Not replacing hormones out of prejudice is a mistake.
- Hormones are just messengers, in other words, they give cells the orders they need to carry out. For this reason, the problems that are often attributed to hormones are not their fault, but rather the fault of administering them to organisms with multiple nutrient deficiencies, intoxications, inflammations... For these, the faulty execution of the orders transmitted by the hormones is what can cause the most problems.
- The human body only responds 100% properly to hormones that it recognizes as its own. In other words, those that are ultimately bioidentical when they reach the cells, tissues and organs. Find out what bioidentical hormones are at these links:

Do you understand? Hormones are not the “seven-headed beast” that some people try to paint them as (due to various interests or even prejudices) and their rational use can bring health back to millions of people. When used properly, they rarely cause cancer, heart attacks or strokes, and the latest studies show that they actually help prevent them. After all, what else can bring health is a totally balanced body, right? Even in terms of your hormones!
Hugs and cheers! No prejudices or old-fashioned concepts... Please!
