Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel supports menopause as TRANSITION, not disease requiring lifelong HRT (though bioidentical HRT appropriate for some). Protocol: 1) Support adrenal function (they become primary hormone producers post-menopause), 2) Liver detoxification (clear excess estrogen), 3) Phytoestrogens (gentle plant-based estrogens), 4) Bioidentical hormones if appropriate (NOT synthetic—bioidentical only, lowest effective dose, comprehensive monitoring), 5) Bone density support, 6) Cardiovascular optimization, 7) Symptom management naturally. Goal: smooth transition with minimal symptoms, optimize health for longevity.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Synthetic hormone replacement therapy (Premarin, Provera), low-dose birth control pills (perimenopause), antidepressants (SSRIs for hot flashes), Vagifem (vaginal estrogen), bisphosphonates (bone density), symptom management.
Synthetic HRT (Premarin, Provera) not bioidentical—different molecular structure, Women's Health Initiative showed increased risks (breast cancer, blood clots, stroke—though bioidentical may be safer), standard HRT doesn't test hormone metabolites (how you metabolize estrogen matters), cookie-cutter dosing (not personalized), antidepressants for hot flashes have side effects, bisphosphonates have serious side effects (jaw osteonecrosis, atypical fractures), minimal focus on lifestyle/nutrition optimization.
