Bio-equivalent hormones are simply the exact chemical structure that our bodies naturally synthesize. Many people are more familiar with the term "Bio-identical" when referring to hormone treatments, but the FDA has requested that the term "bio-equivalent" be used instead. Bioequivalent Hormone Balancing uses single or multiple bio-equivalent hormones to help men and women achieve the healthy state of hormone balance that is typically present in persons in their 30s.
When your hormones are in balance, you know it. You look great, feel terrific, have plenty of energy and sleep like a baby. Your immune and digestive systems are in tiptop shape. This is your body’s way of saying “Hey, you can relax. I’m normal.”
It’s only when you begin to age and your hormone levels take a dive that your world begins to feel less than friendly. You gain weight, lose interest in sex, can’t sleep, can’t think straight—the list goes on. You discover that getting older is not about getting better. Not only do you feel a lot less perky, but now you have health issues. Pretty soon things like cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and osteoporosis show up.

There are three primary hormones that are produced by the ovaries during reproductive years. These hormones are Esgtrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone. Beginning as early as the mid thirties, the production of these hormones will decline. Just because this is a normal aging process, though, doesn't mean it is healthy.
