Dr. Karan: Bioidentical vs Synthetic Hormones Explained Simply
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Bioidentical hormones match the body’s molecular structure exactly, allowing proper receptor binding (key-lock mechanism).
- Synthetic hormones are chemically modified versions that may block receptors, increasing risks of heart attacks, strokes, and cancers.
- Prioritize bioidentical hormone replacement (creams/gels) over synthetic versions to avoid negative side effects.
Notable Quotes
“The body doesn’t actually know whether it’s your own hormone or one that you’ve had from a cream or a gel. That’s what we’re doing is replacing like with like.”
Bottom Line
Choose bioidentical hormone replacements (not synthetic) for safer, more effective treatment that your body recognizes naturally.
