A critical element of quality health for women is hormone balance. Too often, research and information has not been readily available to providers about the range of wellness and hormone balancing options that address health problems common among women over forty.
At Women in Balance, we believe it is time to approach women’s health and changes in her life in a balanced, integrated and individualized way. In this section we provide information from some of our medical experts.

Optimal Health & Hormone Balance
The foundation of optimal women's health begins with healthy lifestyle choices: nutrition, exercise, stress management, enough sleep, and when appropriate nutritional supplements. Some women may need to rebalance their hormones through supplements or with bioidentical hormones.
There is no one dose or approach to optimal health that fits every woman. Ideally, women should work with a qualified health care professional knowledgeable about hormone balance to determine what she needs and whether she needs to supplement hormones. If needed, natural, bioidentical hormones should be used in physiologic doses.
