Natural Hormonal Rhythms
This brief article provides an overview of the value of using Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy in a cyclical rhythm that mimics the body's natural rhythm. For more information on menopause, andropause or bio-identical hormones, please see our Frequently Asked Questions page.
Any physiology book will tell you that estrogen and progesterone are cycled in a rhythm. In the first half of a woman’s typical 28-day cycle there is a peak of estrogen (estradiol) and in the second half of the cycle there is a peak of progesterone.

In most conventional HRT, this sort of rhythm has not even been considered. Today, we are learning that the hormonal rhythms may be just as important as the bio-identical nature of the hormones. Many other hormones, such as cortisol, melatonin, human growth hormone, etc., cycle through the body in rhythms, impacting other hormonal rhythms.
To create these rhythms with Bio-identical HRT, we apply the hormones in a cream application varying the amounts to levels which mimic a woman’s natural peaks and valleys of estrogen and progesterone.
