Most medical providers understand that replacing hormones can make a person feel better day-to-day by helping with hot flashes, night sweats, improved energy, etc. However, unless the provider has been trained beyond the training received in a medical specialty or nursing training program, he or she will NOT know that hormones can help PREVENT MOST CHRONIC DISEASE. Furthermore, they will NOT know how to safely use bio-identical hormones to help prevent chronic disease. And the problem is, medical practitioners don’t know what they don’t know because these studies, although they are abundant in the medical literature, are not taught in medical and nursing training programs. The studies we learn about in medical and nursing training programs are studies on synthetic drug company hormones that do not match our body’s chemistry. Our bodies do not inherently know what to do with these synthetic hormones, unlike natural hormones.
At Wasatch Medical Spa, this is OUR GOAL: to help you live longer and healthier through hormones. Each of our staff members have been trained by Worldlink Medical. This is the ONLY intensive, fully research based, Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) training available in the United States. As Worldlink trained professionals, we understand how to use hormones safely to not only help you feel great today, but also to help prevent chronic disease like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, osteoporosis and many cancers. We have learned the medical research behind these claims, and feel it is imperative to treat people in a way that will help prevent the most common causes of disability and death. To do so, our treatment plans look very different from those of mainstream medical providers. Only through the way we dose hormones will you achieve levels that will help with long-term prevention.
While we are young, our bodies are vibrant and functional because we have high levels of hormones that keep us well. As we age, these levels drop slowly, so we usually don’t recognize the effects until the levels are very low. Our energy wanes and our parts start to give out. We develop chronic disease.
The prevention of chronic disease is achieved through slowly bringing hormone levels up to those we once had when we felt great. Many medical practitioners may see these levels as “too high” because they may not fall in the normal (or average) ranges for the age group. However, the older age groups are hormone deficient and are feeling those effects. Vascular plaque, belly fat, cancer cells and other manifestations of insulin resistance are allowed to develop due to the loss of protective hormones. Medical research shows that bringing natural hormone levels up to match those of a young adult is vital for keeping the body on track to prevent chronic disease.
At Wasatch Medical Spa we design a hormone plan specific to your body and needs. We take into account your personal medical history AND your family history. We are in close contact with you to help you get to optimal levels comfortably. We provide several opportunities for education and support. Our goal is to help you feel well, live healthier, and to help prevent chronic disease.
