Dr. Erika Schwartz – Pioneer in Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

The name, Dr. Erika Schwartz, is not new to any of us; she is a leading expert in the field of bioidentical hormones, disease prevention, health and wellness. Though most people have heard the term ‘bioidentical hormones,’ the truth is that most are still not aware of what exactly are these and the role these play in maintaining the hormonal balance of your body.

Bioidentical hormones are those which are completely identical in molecular structure to the natural hormones that are produced in a woman’s body. These are actually synthesized from a chemical that is found in plants like yam and soy. 17 beta-estradiol, estriol and estrone make up the bioidentical estrogens while progesterone remains the same except for the fact that it is micronized in vitro to aid in better absorption by the female body.

Dr. Erika Schwartz believes that hormonal balance can play a major role in any woman’s life especially with advancing age. It is important to maintain this balance as any change to this can upset the core energy and sense of well being leading to stress, diseases and also inability to enjoy life to the full. Dr. Schwartz’s mission is to educate women regarding the benefits of hormonal balance and how it can transform your life for the better. She has authored four best-selling books on this topic and appeared on numerous television shows to advocate her mission and to reach out to the millions of women suffering from the effects of hormonal imbalance across the globe.

Dr. Erika Schwartz sees patients from all over the world; her ultimate goal is to educate and empower women to lead better and healthier lives. She has incorporated both traditional and modern modalities in her treatment techniques. Apart from the development of a unique protocol for bioidentical hormones, she has also created a hormone-based diet, exercise and lifestyle regimens, launched her line of products which includes vitamins, health supplements etc and also launched short term programs to share her medical knowledge and expertise with people.
