Now you may have heard that hormone replacement therapy can be dangerous. It’s true when you’re dealing with synthetic hormones (hormones not having the identical structure to the ones found in the human body). The cells in our bodies were designed to be compatible with the hormones we naturally produce, so synthetic hormones are recognized differently by our cell receptors and may initiate a difference action. In some cases, our bodies see them as intruders as go into attack mode, causing much larger problems.
We define them as bioidentical hormones or hormones that are identical to what is produced and utilized in the body. As we age, our bodies slow the production of naturally occurring hormones. This happens both due to natural aging and environmental factors. Things like stress levels, medications (especially birth control), and other social factors can impact our body’s ability to maintain homeostasis.
The side effects of hormone deficiency can impact a lot of areas of your life, especially in women. For women, an imbalance of estrogen hormones can cause hot flashes, night sweats, premature aging, and poor memory. Low progesterone can also cause similar symptoms and anxiety. Fluctuations in hormone balance can affect your mood, sexual desire, and fertility.
Using homeopathy, natural supplements, herbal medicine, diet and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, we are able to treat a variety of health issues. In women, symptoms we help alleviate include:

Bio-identical forms of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid, and most other prescription hormones are available by prescription from Dr. Stengler through compounding pharmacies.

A variety of different forms are available including topical (transdermal), capsule, suppository, sublingual, and others to best meet the individual needs of the patient. Dr. Stengler has treated thousands of women with bio-identical hormones safely and naturally in his office that serves both San Diego and Encinitas.
