I'm Too Young For This!: The Natural Hormone Solution To Enjoy Perimenopause - Plot & Excerpts
The rest of this chapter focuses on answering those questions. In addition, my trusted experts answer very specific questions on BHRT from women just like you in chapter 10, “Ask the Doctors—Real Questions, Real Answers.” How Do I Take BHRT? When your doctor prescribes BHRT, your compounding pharmacist will prepare for you exactly what you need. Hormones are usually taken through the skin, or transdermally, as a patch, gel, spray, or cream. This duplicates the way sex hormones are delivered in the body. Our endocrine hormones are absorbed directly into the bloodstream rather than through the digestive tract and the liver. This is another reason why taking bioidenticals orally (by mouth) is not optimal. Hormones taken orally must be processed by the liver, which can result in an increased incidence of blood clots and other related risks. Our livers are already so overloaded trying to eliminate environmental toxins. By taking them transdermally they not only don’t cause clotting, but they are more effective.
