Hormone Replacement Therapy

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life that typically occurs around the age of 50, although the timing can vary widely. This transitional period is due to hormonal fluctuations, often leading to symptomatic challenges that significantly affect the quality of life for many women. However, managing and embracing these changes doesn’t necessitate enduring discomfort, as there are various approaches to support a smoother transition through menopause. At Amber Wellness Group, we advocate for a holistic approach, incorporating a blend of medications, botanical medicine, and lifestyle recommendations. Our perspective is not merely to navigate this phase but also to promote health and disease prevention.

As menopause approaches and symptoms related to fluctuating and declining sex hormone levels arise, the topic of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) becomes relevant. These symptoms may include irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, insomnia, fatigue and mood swings, reduced mental cognition among many others. HRT involves the use of either synthetic or bioidentical hormones, mainly estrogen and progesterone, to restore hormonal balance during this transformative phase. These hormones are available in various forms, such as pills, patches, creams, gels, troches, and injections. Botanical medicine is an alternative to HRT that offers a non-hormonal approach to support hormonal balance.

HRT not only mitigates the unwanted symptoms of menopause but can also provide valuable health benefits as individuals age. FDA-approved for the prevention of bone loss, HRT may help reduce the risk of fractures. Estrogen also plays a pivotal role in brain health, and HRT is correlated with a reduced risk of cognitive decline. Research indicates that when HRT is initiated within the first 10 years of menopause, it is linked to a reduced risk of coronary artery disease. The cumulative positive impact of HRT on bones, brain, and heart underscores its many benefits in providing support to women navigating the menopausal transition.

When considering the use of HRT, one must consider the various types and forms of hormones. Synthetic HRT involves the use of hormones that are not structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body. Synthetic hormones are prescribed for birth control and the most common synthetic hormones used in HRT include conjugated equine estrogens, such as Premarin, and progestins, such as Provera. Even though synthetic hormones have been effective at alleviating certain menopausal symptoms, the doses prescribed to manage symptoms of hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness are too high. Since the synthetic hormones used in this type of HRT are NOT identical to the body’s natural hormones, they can lead to unwanted side effects and do not provide the same cardiovascular and cognitive health benefits as bioidentical hormone replacement therapies.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves the use of hormones that are structurally identical to those produced by the human body. These hormones are typically synthesized from plant sources like soy or yams and are considered a more natural, safer option. With the results of the Women’s Health Initiative Study of 2003, we now prescribe the least amount of hormones that gives the best results. BHRT can be standardized prescriptions as well as compounded medications that are customized to an individual’s unique hormonal requirements, improving sleep, mood, libido, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, memory, and more. There is a common misconception that bioidentical hormones are too costly for some because they are not covered by insurance, but there are BHRT products that are covered by insurance and available at a reasonable cost.

Botanical medicine involves the use of non-hormonal naturally derived compounds to help support hormone levels, mood and sleep. These plants have many actions in the body that work to support women through menopause. They can modulate estrogen to support hot flashes and night sweats, reduce inflammation, support adrenal function, improve mood and sleep. Botanical support is a wonderful option for those experiencing mild symptoms, are hesitant towards the use of HRT, or have a medical history that precludes the use of HRT, such as cancer. Individual response to botanical medicine can vary, and while many women find great benefit, those with severe menopausal symptoms may find more benefit from HRT.

The choice between synthetic, bioidentical, or botanical HRT should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider. Factors such as general health status, age, symptom severity, risk factors, lifestyle, and the risks and benefits of treatment all play a role in deciding on HRT. At Amber Wellness Group, we prioritize obtaining a comprehensive health history, conducting physical exams, and reviewing recent lab work before recommending HRT. Additionally, we like to regularly monitor and follow-up with our patients to ensure that the chosen HRT is effective and safe so that you can get back to living your best life!

Five surprising ways people have used (and are still using) bones

Some people use bones as macabre decor, but they're good for so much more. (Artem Maltsev via Unsplash/)

For February, we’re focusing on the body parts that shape us, oxygenate us, and power us as we take long walks on the beach. Bony bonafide bones. These skeletal building blocks inspire curiosity and spark fear in different folks—we hope our stories, covering everything from surgeries and supplements to good old-fashioned boning, will only do the first. Once you’ve thoroughly blasted your mind with bone facts, check out our previous themed months: muscle and fat.

Imagine sitting down to a meal of ground-up bone, served on a plate made of burned bones, while two musicians—one rattling two sawed-off ribs together and the other ominously shaking part of a horse’s skull—provide grim ambience in the dim candlelight. Off in the corner, an oracle shoves some bones into a fire in an effort to predict whether the crops you just fertilized with shattered bones will yield a hearty harvest.

It might feel like you’re in the opening scene of the latest binge-worthy adaptation of a popular fantasy series, but this is real life. Or, at least, it would be if you mashed everything you’re about to read into one time period.

Humans have found unique uses for skeletal remains since prehistoric times. You may be familiar with bone arrowheads, fish hooks, and jewelry, but you may be surprised to learn how bones have found their way into the everyday lives of both ancient and modern people. Let’s journey beyond the grave.

Musical instruments

There are plenty of musical instruments that look like bones or include bones as part of their design. For example, artist Bruce Mahalski and guitar maker David Gilberd teamed up to build a bone guitar that features about 35 skulls. Super metal, yes, but not quite bony enough. It’s still, at its heart, a guitar.

On display at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, this 1856 portrait of "The Bone Player" shows how a skilled musician might hold the instrument. (William Sidney Mount/)

For instruments straight-up made out of bone, two stand out: the aptly named “bones” and the jawbone. Even if you only listen to the latest pop songs, it’s possible you’ve heard the former without realizing it. In 1949, Freeman Davis, known as “Brother Bones,” recorded a version of the Jazz Age standard “Sweet Georgia Brown,” which found widespread fame after the Harlem Globetrotters picked it up as their theme song three years later.

You’re more likely to find them made out of wood today, but in their most basic form, bones are a pair of animal rib bones—usually sheep or cow— cut down to between 5 and 7 inches long. Players hold them between their fingers, curved sides facing each other, and knock them together with deft flicks of their wrists. Like skilled tap dancers, experts can create a vast range of percussive sounds.

The bones have their roots in traditional Irish and Scottish music, and immigrants from those countries brought them to America, where they found a home in bluegrass and other folk genres. They’re similar to other clacking percussion instruments like the spoons, the Chinese paiban, and castanets.

The jawbone, meanwhile, is originally an African instrument that made its way to the Americas as a result of the slave trade. It’s usually the jawbone of a horse or another equine (like a donkey or zebra), that’s been stripped of all flesh and dried.

Once it’s dry, the teeth become so loose they rattle around in their sockets. But it’s more than a simple rattle—players can create other sounds by striking the jawbone with a stick or rubbing the wood across its teeth.

It’s a little more niche, but you may have also heard the sound of a jawbone without realizing it—the vibraslap, patented in 1969 by Martin B. Cohen, was designed to sound exactly like it. Cohen said in his patent application that he’d found it hard to replace actual jawbones when they break.

Fortune telling

The original users of these bones hoped they'd foretell the future. (Deborah Harding, Carnegie Museum of Natural History/)

Yeah, you’ve heard of necromancy, and probably pyromancy. Now, get ready for scapulimancy and plastromancy. Relatives of pyromancy, these two divination practices involve writing questions on bones (usually large animal shoulder bones or turtle plastrons), heating them up until they crack, and then interpreting the cracks.

How they were heated is unclear and likely varied. Some sources simply mention fire, while others describe diviners inserting hot metal rods into holes drilled in the bones.

These practices weren’t restricted to any particular region, either, and ancient people worldwide had their own versions. Inhabitants of Europe, western Asia, and North Africa simply inspected the natural condition of the bone after all flesh was scraped away, but those who lived in North America and other parts of Asia used fire, according to David N. Keightley, a former professor of Chinese history at the University of California, Berkeley.

Perhaps the most well-preserved oracle bones come from China, most of which date back to the Shang dynasty (1600-1046 BCE). About 20,000 pieces (mostly ox scapulae and turtle plastrons) were dug up between 1928 and 1937 during official excavations around the dynasty’s capital city of Yinxu, about 300 miles southwest of modern-day Beijing. Most turned out to be predictions performed for the royal family. This discovery, among others, helped Chinese archaeologist Li Ji prove that the Shang dynasty actually existed.

The Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh has a large collection of these bones in storage for research purposes. Amy Covell-Murthy, who manages the museum’s archaeology collection, said the inscriptions on their bones ask questions like whether or not someone will have a baby, which crops to plant in a field, or how a war will turn out. She also said some are fakes, but that they still hold value because they’re at least 100 years old themselves.

Bone china

Unlike true porcelain, which contains only minerals, the ceramic material known as bone china includes bone ash. It originated in England in the 1700s and for a long time, most, if not all, bone china was made there.

A few potters and companies experimented with bone ash as they sought to bulk up their soft-paste porcelain to rival the stronger hard-paste ceramics made in China, but Josiah Spode I is generally understood to have been the one who standardized bone china production. When he died, his son, Josiah Spode II, took over and continued to improve on his father’s work.

Today, bone china is made across the globe by companies such as Lenox, which has made numerous pieces for presidents dating back to 1918, and the Spode family’s eponymous business, Spode.

Fertilizer

All living things need phosphorus, and bones have a lot of it. This is why bone meal, as ground-up bones are called, has found its calling as plant fertilizer. Without phosphorus, plants can’t function, can’t grow, and can’t photosynthesize, says Dennis Stevenson, vice president for science at the New York Botanical Garden. Bone meal is also high in calcium, which plants need for their cell walls.

But with its benefits come some potential problems. Health experts say some bone meal can be high in lead, and possibly also mercury. It’s also got a bit of a dark history in the U.S., dating back to the near-total destruction of the American bison.

The hunting of these thousand-pound animals was driven by their highly prized skins, but also by the U.S. government, which promoted hunting in an effort to starve Native Americans and force them onto reservations. Hunters would kill and skin bison, but often left the carcasses littering the Great Plains. As settlers moved west, they began picking them up and selling them to use as fertilizer.

Gelatin and glue

The revelation that gelatin is made out of animal parts is a common one. But the simple fact that everyone seems to have this somewhat traumatic revelation at some point in their lives made it seem relevant for this list. If you already know this, great—maybe you’ll learn something new here anyway. And if you didn’t, now you do, and you can reveal it to others in your life.

Most gelatin is made from the byproducts of the meat and leather industries, usually bones and skin. In its purest form, it’s 98 to 99 percent protein and is nearly tasteless and odorless. Its use dates back to the medieval era, and because it was hard to make, it was originally just for rich families.

Today, it’s still pretty complicated to make, but industry has taken much of the hands-on labor out of it. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the 20-week process for making gelatin out of cattle bones starts like this: The bones are crushed and cooked at 180 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit before being spun in a centrifuge, dried at 160 to 270 degrees, degreased, and treated for five to seven days with a weak hydrochloric acid solution.

Then, the ground-up bones are washed several times with water and treated with a lime slurry (not the tasty tropical kind) for one to two months in an effort to remove everything that’s not collagen. After that, the almost-gelatin is washed again, made more acidic, and may be filtered. Finally, its pH is made more neutral (between 5 and 7), it’s sterilized at 280 to 290 degrees for several seconds, cooled, and dried with hot air for 1 to 3 hours.

This stuff ends up in obvious foods like gummies, but can also be used in a wide variety of ways to stabilize, thicken, and add texture to the things we eat. It’s also used to make modern film.

Gelatin and animal glue are closely related, though use of the latter has largely disappeared. At least as late as the early 2000s, gelatin-based glues were used to stick those “organic” stickers on fruits and vegetables, the USDA says.

Animal glue has a long history, and in 2014 researchers found that it was used to hold together the painted layers of Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang’s massive terracotta army. It was used worldwide until the early 1900s, but was essentially eliminated by the invention of synthetic adhesives.

Menopause, Estrogen and Phytoestrogen in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Perspective

Menopause is the end of menstrual period PERMANENTLY, which is accompanied by female hormone deficiency, particularly with estrogen production and put the women experience with vasomotor symptoms, dyspareunia, and progressive development of osteoporosis. It may also lead to poorer physical function, such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries, and other routine activities even though the mechanism remains unclear other than hypothesized to the depression impacts, as well as other disease risks such as cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, mood disorders, depression, and some others.

In terms of sex life, they also exprienced with vaginal dryness as an impact of hormonal imbalance, and furthermore associated with painful sex, loose vagina, loss of sex drive, and sexual dysfunction.

Due to lots of impact among menopausal- and postmenopausal-women therefore, estrogen replacement therapy becomes an important treatment to alleviate the effects of hormonal deficiency, including to progesterone replacement therapy. However, since hormone replacement therapy (HRT) also well documented in posting several chronic disease risks therefore, some organization for women's health recommended the use of HRT for short-term application.

As Carolyn M. Clancy, MD, director of HHS’s agency for Healthcare Research and Quality said in an expert panel discussion held on July 9, 2012, at the George Washington University Hospital in Washington, DC, "the WHI has saved thousands of lives by debunking conventional wisdom and allowing millions of women and their doctors to make key health decision based on scientific evidence," (ref), therefore, using of HRT, particularly with synthetic agents, should be used carefully and for short-term therapy in order to prevent harmful risks but otherwise need to alleviate the effects of hormonal deficiency.

Moreover in postmenopausal women which is showing the risk of cardiovascular events increased when taking conjugated equine estrogen and medroxyprogesterone acetate.How about estrogen from botanical sources, or known as phytoestrogen?

Unlike synthetic estrogen that may associate with cancer risks, such as breast cancer risk and other health risks, phytoestrogen showed reverse those risks, including lower ovarian cancer risk.

A study conducted by Sarah M. Mense, from Department of Environmental Health Sciences of Columbia University, New York, and colleagues, published in Environ Health Perspect. 2008;116(4):426-433, concluded that phytoestrogen may have a chemoprotective role against breast cancer by various mechanism, such as estrogen-metabolizing enzymes, apoptosis, cell differentiation, cell cycle, proliferation, the inflammatory response and various cell signaling pathways.

In terms of ovarian cancer risk, although some studies showed the effect of phytoestrogen in reducing that risk is not statistically significant which might be also influenced by study limitations such as a study conducted by researchers from multiple institutions (The Cancer Institute of New Jersey, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, NY, and some others), that concludes "this study provided some suggestion that phytoestrogen consumption may decrease ovarian cancer risk, although results did not reach statistical significance," (BMC Womens Health. 2011;11(40)), but still it plays a role against the risk.

And much more studies regarding to phytoestrogen effects and benefits, including alleviate sleep problems, increase bone mineral density, alleviates menopausal symptoms etc., as well as potential adverse effects in excess doses.In contrast, a study conducted by other multi-institutions (University of Sciences in Philadelphia, West Palm Beach Medical Center, Wake Forest University, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) concluded and represented as the opinion of the Women’s Health Practice and Research Network (PRN) of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy that phytoestrogen can be a safer alternative to HRT.

Overall, compared with synthetic estrogen which is commonly prescribed in medicine for HRT, natural estrogen or phytoestrogen is almost safe from adverse effects because of mimic human estrogen and certainly VERY helpful for menopausal- and postmenopausal-women who lack with this hormone levels causing vaginal dryness and lose its elasticity and tightness.
