Find The Right Balance with Bioidenticals and an Expert Physician
Hormone
balance is essential to your vitality. We know that women in perimenopause have half the stress resilience of their 20s and
early 30s. For this reason, you must see a physician who is able to prescribe safely not just bioidentical estrogens and progesterone,
but also (and only when needed) adrenal (testosterone, cortisol, DHEA) and thyroid hormones. Balancing hormones must be individualized
to each patient. When you have the right amount and proportion of hormones, you feel you are at
your best: energized, blissful, engaged, sexy, mentally sharp, vital and inspired. Click here to read Cynthia Gorney's excellent article in the New York Times on the hormone dilemma for an approach in alignment with
Dr. Sara's work.
Bioidentical Hormones – The Safer Alternative
Some women are offered
synthetic hormones by their well-intentioned conventional physicians. Starting in 1999, we learned that synthetic hormones
such as Premarin and Provera are both dangerous and risky. Bioidentical hormones, identical in structure to the hormones you
made in your 20s and 30s (just lesser amounts starting around age 35-45+), are the safer alternative and more gentle on your
system. Hormone imbalance also causes other conditions such as PMS, fatigue, depression, anxiety,
and difficulty with weight loss. These can happen before perimenopause or after menopause. What’s
confusing is that women are beset with conflicting information, incomplete studies and biased media coverage about how to
proceed with hormone therapy. We recommend placing your trust in one of most superbly-trained gynecologists in the nation,
Sara Gottfried, MD – Dr. Sara is both a brilliant physician-scientist, as current with the hormone literature as one
can be, and a gifted healer. Come experience your bioidentical hormone balance for yourself. Return to balance, naturally. Call 510.893.3907.
Testimonials "I
went to Dr. Gottfried two years ago because I felt completely depleted and did not feel like myself much of the time. Though
I thought I was having perimenopausal symptoms (sleeplessness, night sweats), I hadn't sought help. She spent a lot of time
talking to me about my whole life picture to determine what the best plan of action was for me. After taking that into consideration
and some testing, she prescribed low doses of bioidentical hormones as well as some other supplements to get my hormones and
energy back on track. Within a few weeks at the most, I felt so much better! I'm forever grateful for her expertise
and attention to me as an individual. A lot of traditional western medicine treats patients as if we're all the same, but
all cases are different and our own bodies are constantly changing. During perimenoupause, it's a process of tinkering and
refining, and she's great at guiding one through this process." ~ MT of Oakland "I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Sara! She is not only a very caring and warm human
being, but also she's an extraordinarily compassionate doctor. It's no small matter that she has the most amazing education
and credentials (Harvard trained), and is an experienced yoga teacher. She truly combines the best of Eastern and Western
medicine approaches, and she stays abreast of the latest research on nutrition, diet, supplements and clinical tests, thus
offering her patients the very best care available today. Sara will work tirelessly to help figure out the health challenges
that most doctors would have no answers for. She has really helped me get to the bottom of a variety of troubling symptoms
related to my stage in life--insomnia, anxiety, fatigue, stress. Her recommendations have helped me become more balanced
and focused, sleep better at night, and feel more serenity in my life. In every session, she is always ultra-prepared
and spends lots of quality time addressing your needs, desires, concerns, etc. She has a truly holistic view that takes
into account each patients individuality. Especially if you've had any health concerns that your regular doctor has
not been able to adequately address, I encourage you to see Sara! She's the best." ~ SH of Berkeley
