Confused About Hormone Replacement?

By Dr. Lisa Maturo, Naturopathic Thyroid Doctor Phoenix

Confused About Hormone Replacement?

Are Hormones Good or Bad? When I first graduated from medical school back in the early 2000’s, I have to admit was thoroughly confused by whether hormone replacement therapy was good or bad, and I wasn't sure if I should recommend it.  I also did not understand the differences between synthetic and bioidentical hormones. I thought they were basically all the same. Most people, even practitioners, are confused by hormone replacement therapy and don’t have a good understanding of the … [Read more...] about Confused About Hormone Replacement?

DHEA For Leaner Body and Longevity

By Dr. Lisa Maturo, Naturopathic Thyroid Doctor Phoenix

DHEA For Leaner Body and Longevity

DHEA: For a Leaner Body and Longevity DHEA (dehyroepiandrosterone) is produced by the adrenal glands and is the most abundant steroid hormone in the body. It acts as a precursor to producing other steroid hormones (steroid just means it came from a sterol such as cholesterol) such as progesterone, estrogen and testosterone. At one time it was thought that DHEA’s function was just as  a “mother hormone” on the pathway to producing other hormones, without any other specific actions of its own. … [Read more...] about DHEA For Leaner Body and Longevity

Hashimoto’s Disease

By Dr. Lisa Maturo, Naturopathic Thyroid Doctor Phoenix

Hashimoto’s disease is one of a group of diseases known as autoimmune disorders. An autoimmune disorder occurs when, instead of protecting itself, the body’s immune system actually starts to attack the body’s own organs. In the case of Hashimoto’s the body attacks the thyroid gland. This causes white blood cells to accumulate inside the thyroid gland and eventually they begin to prevent the thyroid from producing hormones that are essential for proper bodily functions. For this reason, dealing … [Read more...] about Hashimoto’s Disease

DHEA – Mother of All Hormones

By Dr. Lisa Maturo, Naturopathic Thyroid Doctor Phoenix

DHEA and Aging - DHEA Hormones

If you haven’t heard of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) it wouldn’t be surprising. It is important and yet overlooked. It is considered the Mother of All Hormones due to its ability to convert into estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. Apart from being a hormone precursor it also enhances your immune system. It had been disregarded for many years because doctors didn’t know its purpose – many called it a ‘slacker’ hormone. Now, we know DHEA is an important part of our health. It has been … [Read more...] about DHEA – Mother of All Hormones

Progesterone After A Hysterectomy

By Dr. Lisa Maturo, Naturopathic Thyroid Doctor Phoenix

Progesterone after a hysterectomy?

If you have recently undergone a full hysterectomy, it is most likely your physician has told you to avoid taking Progesterone, that it is a ‘uterine’ hormone and could cause breast cancer. Here is the thing, all progesterone’s are not alike. When doctors speak of progesterone they are often referring to the synthetically designed form called Provera. Provera is not progesterone and is even biologically different than progesterone. Provera has a history of being harmful to women and should not … [Read more...] about Progesterone After A Hysterectomy
