There are hormone receptors on every major tissue in the body – which speaks to their importance to our health. Menopause means that your main hormone factories (your ovaries) have shut down for the rest of your life. It does not mean just having some hot flashes and then it is over. Once it starts, menopause is never over until you die. Unless you replace your hormones, you are living in a state of serious hormone deficiency from then on, and there are hundreds of studies that show that this is not good for your health.

Whether you have obvious symptoms like the hot flashes of menopause, erectile dysfunction caused by low testosterone, or you simply endure chronic fatigue and don’t know why, bioidentical hormone therapy may be the treatment you need to restore balance. Contact Dr. Lynne R. Mielke and Sandi Kreizenbeck, DNP, at Optimal Health Spectrums in Pleasanton, California, for a thorough evaluation of your health as well as hormone testing.

Thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) are essential to maintain your metabolic rate, which affects your weight and energy levels, among many other things. Thyroid hormone can decline with age just as other hormones do and are tested with a simple blood test.
