Menopause Type^® One
Menopause Type^® One has symptoms that suggest adequate estradiol, adequate progesterone and normal testosterone function.
Since all three hormones appear adequate, Menopause Type^®One does not have many of the health risks associated with other Menopause Types^®., however, if there is a family history for any health disorder, such as osteoporosis, diabetes or heart disease, the risk should be considered. By managing your Menopause Type^® you will improve your quality of life. & decrease your risks of disease.
PROTOCOL: The following protocol provides women with Menopause Type^® 1 information on which nutritional and herbal formulations can support the normal function of hormone responsive tissues. Please review the Advanced Integrative Management of Menopause document for more detailed information.
Foundational Interventions:
Foundational interventions include lifestyle and dietary choices that support optimal hormone function. In addition, a high grade multiple vitamin mineral formulation rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids rich in docosahexaenoic acid are required for optimal hormone function.
Ultra Preventive® X V-Cap - A high grade multiple vitamin and mineral supplement with significant antioxidant support. Vitamins and minerals are cofactors required for every biochemical process in the human body, including the production and proper detoxification of hormones. Oxygen stress contributes to some of the pathophysiolgical effects of suboptimal menopause. These effects may be prevented and/or treated by improving the antioxidant defense of perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopausal women.
Opti DHA - An essential fatty acid rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), with a high DHA:EPA ratio. The essential fatty acid DHA help maintain ideal cell membrane fluidity allowing optimal transport of molecules across the membrane, which is critical for hormone function, while EPA helps the body control inflammation.
Primary Endocrine Formulations :
Primary Endocrine Nutraceutical formulations should be used to support the function of hormone producing glands and hormone responsive tissues. Primary formulations may be appropriate for use in Menopause Type^® One if there are symptoms that significantly affect quality of life, even if the total number of symptoms is less than 50% for any given hormone. Please Find a Healthcare Professional in your area to customize these protocols.
Use Estro-Mend^™ if there are specific estrogen deficiencies that are intense, even if the total number of symptoms associated with decreased estrogen function is less than 50%. More Information Estro-Mend^™
Use Progesto-Mend^™ if there are specific progesterone deficiency symptoms that are intense, even if the total number of symptoms associated with decreased progesterone function is less than 50%. More Information on Progesto-Mend^™
Use Testo-Gain^™ if there are testosterone deficiency symptoms that are intense, even if the total number of symptoms associated with decreased testosterone function is less than 50%. More Information on Testo-Gain^™
Use Testo-Quench^™ if there are testosterone excess symptoms that are intense, even if the total number of symptoms associated with excessive testosterone function is less than 50%.More Information on Testo-Quench^™
Please Find a Healthcare Professional in your area to customize these protocols.
Secondary Endocrine Formulations:
Since decreased thyroid function could adversely affect the function of other hormones, a nutraceutical formulation to support the function of the thyroid gland and the liver (which converts T4 to T3) and also supports the function and response of tissues that respond to thyroid hormones should be used if there are signs and symptoms of decreased thyroid function. There is always some risk for decreased blood glucose function in women of menopause age, so evaluation of glucose function and insulin resistance should be done as part routine health assessment. Excessive body weight also increases the risk for decreased blood glucose function. A nutraceutical formulation to support healthy blood glucose function should be used if there are signs and symptoms of decreased blood sugar function.
Thyro-Mend^™ is a synergistic combination of iodine containing seaweeds, and herbs which contain phytothyroidogenic, phyto-thyroid-receptor agonists, and other herbs designed to promote optimal function of thyroid hormones by maintaining the health of thyroid hormone producing tissues and by supporting the healthy function of tissues that respond to thyroid hormones. More information on Thyro-Mend^™.
Glucobrium is a synergistic formulation of phytotherapeutic extracts which mimic and potentiate the actions of insulin and support healthy blood glucose function. More information on Glucobrium.
When to Consider Hormone Precursors & Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Only if indicated, hormone precursors such as Pregnenolone 25 Mg Tab, DHEA 5 MG and 7-KETO may be used to support hormone production pathways that create progesterone, testosterone and estrogens. They have mild hormone actions in and of themselves, and do not have the same risks that are associated with Hormone Replacement Therapies (HRT). Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), while considered more appropriate than synthetic hormone therapies, does not support the hormone production pathways, but instead provides “replacement”, which may further diminish endogenous hormone production. Evaluation of hormone levels, use of hormone precursors as needed, and as a final course of action, the prescription of bioidentical hormone therapies should be considered only when restoration of normal function is not possible.
