WHAT IS BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY?BioIdentical Hormones are plant derivatives that are identical to what your body needs when there is a hormone imbalance. Unlike pharmaceuticals, bioidenticals completely match your body’s unique chemistry. In addition the dose is specifically made for you based on blood work and symptoms by a compound pharmacy. Typical oral and transdermal forms of bioidentical therapy produce roller coaster blood levels of hormones which can result in mood and energy fluctuations for a client. Pellet therapy is the only method of hormone replacement that provides sustained hormone levels throughout the day for up to six months. Dr. James Cowan, Medical Director of the Cowan Group has been a practicing medical doctor for the past 38 years. He is physician being specifically trained in Sotto Pelle BioIdentical Hormone Therapy. Dr. Cowan is also a Psychiatrist and psychopharmacologist. He has successfully helped numerous patients with symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood disorders and more serious illnesses. We are finding that many psychiatric disorders respond very well and being to subside when their hormones are balanced. Many women in their late 30’s and 40’s have come into our practice complaining of depression, anxiety, irritability, sleep problems, low libido and lack of energy. While many traditional doctors would treat them with pharmaceuticals such as anti-depressants, sleeping preparations and synthetic hormones we began to realize that their hormones may be the root of the problem. We began sending our patients for complete blood analysis with an extensive focus on hormones such as estradiole, testosterone, FSH, progesterone, and Thyroid functioning as well as DHEA. It quickly became apparent that the women who were being diagnosed as depressed and placed on psychiatric medications really needed their hormones balanced. We began working with a compound pharmacy and replacing depleted hormone functioning with BioIdentical Hormones which are all natural derivatives of the plant Yam and Soy. It is bioidentical because it is exactly what the body has always manufactured and recognizes when replaced. This is the same protocol for men who suffer from Andropause with similar symptoms. With each patient we do complete serum analysis to rule out any other metabolic disease. In this sense we start with a traditional approach to medicine and utilize what is needed from both disciplines; traditional and alternative to begin healing. As women and men began to replace their hormones naturally we received calls from them to report that in one week they were feeling great and by one month all symptoms had abated. We knew at this point we had discovered something extremely effective. No more depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. Life became normal again. Sex drive returned; marriages were happier.
