Our Method Explained.
The problem:
Low Estrogen & Progesterone
By the time most women is in her 30s, they are only making 20% of needed hormones. From laboratory studies:
- In their 20s, when women are the most youthful and vibrant: Estradiol levels are 500-1800 pg/mL. Testosterone levels are about 200-400 pg/mL (20-40 ng/dL) and progesterone is the the most abundant at 15,000 - 25,000 pg/mL (15-25 ng/mL).
- After 30 years old, estradiol levels drop by 90% to less than 250 pg/mL. Progesterone and testosterone levels drop to almost nothing. FSH is released by the brain to stimulate the production.
- As women approach 40 and older, most stop making any hormones and FSH continues to be elevated.
*For illustration purposes only, laboratory testing is highly variable.

OESTRA™ Raises All Three Hormones With Just One Cream
Dosage That Delivers Results
Traditional methods don’t get estrogen and progesterone levels up high enough for you to realize the feel-good and protective benefits of having youthful levels. This is why many women will still struggle, even when they’re on other types of hormone replacement therapy.
We’ll start you at a lower dose for the first 3 months. This gives the body a chance to adjust to the new hormone levels, before the dose is raised at 4 months. This higher dose is where you will feel and see the benefits of having youthful levels of hormones.

Vaginal Application: The Modern Approach
Other methods are all very limited and do not give results women are looking for. Here is why vaginal application is superior:
Progesterone is too large to absorb through the small pores in the skin. This makes any topical oil, or cream ineffective.
Oral progesterone has very low (20%) bioavailability because the liver destroys most of it.
The liver isn't meant to metabolize hormones first. This is also why there are so many side-effects with oral pills.
Vaginal progesterone is the only form found to completely turnover the endometrial lining.

FAQs
Our formulation is exclusive to Inner Balance, so it cannot be prescribed by your physician. In addition, our experts are trained and knowledgeable about making adjustments if you experience any side effects when starting.
Our approach to estradiol/progesterone replacement therapy, which strives for optimal levels, is not covered by insurance. The problem with insurance is that, once your levels reach ‘normal’, your insurance carrier deems you to be cured. In addition, they only cover treatments that achieve arbitrary ‘normal’ lab levels. The thing is, most women still experience negative symptoms with ‘normal’ levels. This is the main reason women come to Inner Balance: to achieve optimal levels of all three hormones and feel their absolute best.
Our treatment is a custom-made formulation; it doesn't get any more personalized than that. Adjustments can be made with the help of our clinical experts so that you feel your best. Other formulations that you can get from your doctor, are a one-size-fits-all dosing set by a manufacturer intended to achieve blood levels in the range of 100-200 pg/mL. Our treatment is personalized so that women can achieve blood levels in the range of 500-800 pg/mL.
Hormones give you the potential to continuously feel better than the day before for the rest of your life. If you decide at any point to stop, then you will just go back to how you were feeling before you started. There is no harm in starting and stopping if you find it isn’t a good fit for you.
Our formulation is made to achieve estradiol blood levels in the range of 500-600 pg/mL. If the starting dose isn’t right for you, or you have concerns once starting, our clinical experts will help you make adjustments.
We do not require a blood test to get started. However, our Inner Balance lab test is the only test available with modern, science-based reference intervals and mass spec testing platforms to effectively determine your levels.
Some women and physicians are afraid of estrogen therapy as they believe it causes breast cancer. This isn’t true. The Women’s Health Initiative, or WHI, is the most robust piece of research that we have. In their study, women were followed for 18 years, and what they found is that estrogen doesn’t cause breast cancer, in fact, it protects against breast cancer. Not only is estrogen safe, it’s protective. Many studies have also shown estrogen to be protective against other diseases. The younger a woman is when she starts estrogen, the more likely she will prevent disease.
