BIORIGHT HORMONE
OPTIMIZATION THERAPHY
BioRight for Women
From Within Bioidentical Hormonal Optimization Program with Dr. Barry Sanchez M.D.
Hormonal imbalances in WOMEN can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
– Mood changes: Depression, anxiety, or mood swings
– Weight changes: Unexplained weight gain or loss, especially in the belly
– Skin changes: Dry skin, acne, skin tags, or darkened skin in certain areas
– Hair changes: Hair growth on the face, neck, back, or chest, or thinning hair
– Sexual changes: Decreased sex drive, painful intercourse, or milky discharge from the nipples
– Other symptoms: Fatigue, headaches, trouble sleeping, night sweats, bloating, breast tenderness, or a deepened voice
Hormonal imbalances can sometimes present with mood symptoms that resemble anxiety and depression. A common mistake is for a woman to get prescribed anti-anxiety/anti depressive medications when all they needed was hormonal optimization. Hormonal imbalances can affect your metabolism (process by which your body converts food into energy), often in the form of weight gain. They can also impact your thyroid, which can lead to fatigue. Symptoms can vary in intensity, frequency, and duration, and can impact your comfort, focus, health, and relationships.
Benefits of Estrogen Therapy in Peri and Post Menopausal Women
Estrogen therapy (ET) in postmenopausal women offers significant benefits, particularly in managing symptoms related to estrogen deficiency and reducing long-term health risks. Here are the key advantages:
1. Relief from Vasomotor Symptoms (Hot Flashes & Night Sweats)
• Estrogen therapy is the most effective treatment for hot flashes and night sweats, significantly improving quality of life.
• Reduces sleep disturbances caused by night sweats, leading to better overall sleep.
2. Cognitive & Brain Health
• May reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia when started early in menopause.
• Helps with memory, focus, and cognitive function by supporting neurotransmitters.
• Reduces brain fog and forgetfulness associated with estrogen decline.
3. Mood & Emotional Well-Being
• Helps stabilize mood swings, anxiety, and depression.
• Supports dopamine and serotonin production, improving emotional resilience.
• Reduces irritability and fatigue commonly experienced post-menopause.
4. Joint, Skin, & Hair Health
• Helps alleviate joint pain and stiffness by reducing inflammation..
• Supports collagen production, leading to firmer, more hydrated skin..
• Reduces wrinkles and skin thinning..
• Helps maintain thicker, healthier hair by balancing androgens.
5. Bone Health & Osteoporosis Prevention
• Estrogen helps preserve bone density and prevents bone loss.
• Reduces the risk of osteoporosis and fractures in the spine, hips, and wrists.
• Particularly beneficial for women with osteopenia or a family history of osteoporosis.
6. Libido & Sexual Function
• Improves vaginal lubrication, arousal, and orgasmic response..
• Helps reduce pain during intercourse..
• Enhances overall sexual satisfaction by maintaining healthy genital tissues.
7. Cardiovascular Protection (When Started Early)
• Estrogen supports healthy blood vessels and improves arterial elasticity.
• Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels (increases HDL, lowers LDL).
• Reduces the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease if started within 10 years of menopause (the “timing hypothesis”).
• May help lower blood pressure by improving vascular function.
8. Vaginal & Urinary Health Support
• Prevents and treats vaginal dryness, irritation, and painful intercourse (genitourinary syndrome of menopause, GSM).
• Reduces urinary tract infections (UTIs) and urinary urgency by improving vaginal and urethral tissue integrity.
• Helps with overactive bladder and incontinence by maintaining pelvic floor tissue strength.
9. Metabolic & Weight Management Benefits
• Improves insulin sensitivity, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
• Helps prevent central weight gain (fat accumulation in the abdomen).
• Supports muscle mass preservation, which declines after menopause.
Who Benefits the Most from Estrogen Therapy in Postmenopause?
– Women with severe menopausal symptoms(hot flashes, vaginal dryness, sleep issues).
– Those at high risk for osteoporosisor already experiencing bone loss.
– Women with early menopause (<45 years old)to prevent premature aging effects.
– Those experiencing cognitive decline or brain fog.
– Women at low risk for heart disease, stroke, and blood clotswho start therapy early.
Benefits of Progesterone in Peri and Post Menopausal Women
During perimenopause, progesterone levels fluctuate and often decline before estrogen does, leading to estrogen dominance and related symptoms. Progesterone therapy can help address these imbalances.
1. Regulates Menstrual Cycles & Reduces Heavy Bleeding
• Helps balance estrogen dominance, which can cause heavy, irregular, or prolonged periods.
• Reduces the risk of endometrial hyperplasia caused by unopposed estrogen.
• Can help with shortened cycles, spotting, or unpredictable bleeding.
2. Alleviates PMS & Mood Swings
• Calms mood instability by modulating GABA, the brain’s relaxation neurotransmitter.
• Helps with irritability, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, especially in estrogen-dominant women.
• Reduces premenstrual migraines by stabilizing hormonal fluctuations.
3. Improves Sleep Quality
• Increases deep, restorative sleep by enhancing GABA activity.
• Helps reduce nighttime awakenings and insomnia, a common perimenopausal symptom.
• Works synergistically with melatonin to support circadian rhythm.
4. Supports Metabolic & Thyroid Health
• Improves insulin sensitivity, helping prevent weight gain and metabolic syndrome.
• Supports thyroid hormone conversion (T4 to T3), reducing symptoms of subclinical hypothyroidism.
• Reduces water retention and bloating associated with estrogen dominance.
5. Protects Breast & Endometrial Health
• Counteracts estrogen’s stimulatory effects on breast tissue, lowering the risk of fibrocystic breasts.
• Prevents endometrial thickening and hyperplasia in women using estrogen therapy.
• May play a role in reducing breast cancer risk when used appropriately.
Benefits of Testosterone Therapy in Peri and Post Menopausal Women
Testosterone therapy in postmenopausal women can provide significant health benefits, particularly for symptoms related to hormonal deficiency and aging. Although testosterone is often associated with male health, it plays a crucial role in female physiology, affecting sexual function, mood, metabolism, muscle mass, and overall well-being.
1. Enhances Libido & Sexual Function
• Increases sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction.
• Improves orgasm intensity and frequency.
• Helps with vaginal lubrication, reducing dryness and discomfort.
• Beneficial for women experiencing Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD).
2. Supports Mood & Cognitive Function
• Helps stabilize mood, reducing irritability, depression, and anxiety.
• Increases motivation, confidence, and emotional resilience.
• Improves mental clarity, focus, and memory, addressing cognitive decline often associated with menopause.
3. Boosts Energy & Reduces Fatigue
• Helps combat chronic fatigue and feelings of sluggishness.
• Improves physical stamina and endurance.
• Enhances overall vitality and motivation for daily activities.
4. Aids in Fat Loss & Metabolic Health
• Supports fat metabolism, reducing visceral fat accumulation.
• Improves insulin sensitivity, lowering the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
• Helps prevent postmenopausal weight gain, particularly in the abdominal area.
5. Improves Bone Health & Osteoporosis Prevention
• Supports bone density and strength, reducing fracture risk..
• Works synergistically with estrogen to maintain bone mineral density..
• May reduce the risk of osteoporosis and osteopenia.
6. Supports Muscle Mass & Strength
• Helps maintain lean muscle mass, which naturally declines with age.
• Improves muscle tone, strength, and exercise performance.
• May reduce the risk of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss).
7. Supports Skin, Hair, & Joint Health
• Enhances collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
• Helps strengthen hair follicles, potentially reducing hair thinning or loss.
• Alleviates joint pain and stiffness, common in postmenopausal women.
8. Enhances Cardiovascular Health
• Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels (raises HDL, lowers LDL).
• May improve vascular function and circulation.
• Could contribute to better heart health when monitored appropriately.
