Natural Anti Aging

You may have come across the terms “Biomimetic Hormones” or “using bioidentical hormones biomimetically” in your reading on the subjects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) , menopause, perimenopause, andropause, etc., and wondered what exactly this means.  Is the word “biomimetic” related to the word bioidentical?  Most definitely these words are related.  The following will explain more clearly the term “biomimetic hormones” and “biomimetic hormone replacement therapy”.

So what are biomimetic hormones?

Biomimetic hormones are natural bioidentical hormones used as hormone replacement therapy in a manner or “protocol” created by T.S. Wiley of Wiley Systems, Inc.  This protocol is known as “The Wiley Protocol”.

The Wiley Protocol is a natural bioidentical hormone therapy which restores declining hormone levels in a manner which more closely imitates the natural rise and fall of hormones in the body of a woman during the month.  Biomimetic hormone replacement uses the bioidentical hormones progesterone and estradiol and differs from the static dosing of bioidentical hormones in that the dosing more naturally replicates the 28 day cycle of the rise and fall of hormones.  Women using this “protocol” report an increased feeling of wellbeing, an end to hot flashes, greater quality of sleep, feel more energetic, happier and less moody.

Doctors who prescribe the Wiley Protocol and compounding pharmacists who fill prescriptions for women and men have all been certified and are qualified to provide the Wiley Protocol to their patients. The difficulty in obtaining the Wiley Protocol could be finding a doctor in Canada who is qualified in this system.  Currently, it is difficult for many, many women in Canada to even find a doctor who will prescribe bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.  There are some provinces in the country which do not even have a doctor to prescribe natural bioidentical hormones in the static dosing method. Hopefully, this scenario will change soon. Millions of baby boomer women are now in peri-menopause or menopause and need to find solutions to the symptoms they are suffering.  Some women are forced to travel to the United States to get the help they need and obtain natural bioidentical hormones.

Who is T.S. Wiley?

T.S. Wiley, the creator of the Wiley Protocol is the author of two books, “Sex, Lies & Menopause” and “Lights Out:  Sleep, Sugar and survival.”  She is also a researcher and lecturer on hormones and menopause and a medical theorist in environmental endocrinology and Darwinian medicine. She devised the Wiley Protocol which mimics the rise and fall of hormones using bioidentical hormones made from plant extracts after 12 years of research.

You may have arrived at the point in your life that your body is having difficulty achieving hormone balance on its own by the symptoms you are experiencing. We have listed here some steps you can follow to achieving hormone balance during menopause and andropause.

One of the first things you can do is to keep track on your symptoms by way of a diary or a chart recording what symptom you are experiencing, what day and time of day you experience these symptoms and possible causes of the symptom you are experiencing.

Book an appointment with a bioidentical doctor or even just a regular doctor to have a hormone panel done. The doctor can tell by your test results what hormones you are low in. It is also possible this test could reveal that you are estrogen dominant at the time which will also cause you to experience negative symptoms affecting your quality of life.

If your hormone levels are unbalanced, set up an appointment with a doctor who specializes in anti-aging and bioidentical hormone therapy.. You check check our bioidentical doctors in Canada page or our bioidentical doctors in the U.S. depending on where you live. These doctors will be able to help you achieve hormone balance and improve your health and wellbeing.

Evaluate your lifestyle. Determine if you are eating a healthy diet and getting all the nutrients you need. If you have never eaten healthily in your entire life, now is the time to begin eating properly. If you are still smoking, you must quit now. Smoking also causes hormone imbalance. Check to see whether you are drinking too much alcohol. You should not be drinking more than a glass of wine a day. Wine is good for you, but too much can have a very negative effect on your life.

Are you exercising? Just like eating healthy meals, exercise is vital for this stage in your life. A half an hour a day, whether it be a walk, a bike ride, pilates or yoga, get moving! The benefits to you are not just a matter of weight control, but it tones up your muscles, strengthens your muscles, your bones, your heart and your lungs. Additional benefits of exercise include the production of the feel good hormones in your body such as the endorphin hormones, among others. Exercising can help fight feelings of listlessness and sadness and even depression.

Get enough sleep. If you have having problems falling asleep or staying asleep, you will find that bioidentical progesterone will help. You should talk to your doctor about this issue. If you need assistance, try a natural solution such as melatonin. Read further about the benefits of melatonin in our article. Going to bed earlier will help. Don’t drink a lot of alcohol before bed and don’t exercise too close to bed time. Minimize your intake of caffeine and colas.

The above tips will help you to achieve hormone balance and increase your health and sense of wellbeing at this stage in your life. Life is changing for you and though the adjustment can be a bit rough, you can manage this stage in your life and achieve hormone balance. This, my friends, is a new beginning for you.
