From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Wiley Protocol is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that is used to alleviate symptoms of menopause in women and andropause in men. It was developed by T.S. Wiley, a medical writer and researcher.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The Wiley Protocol involves the use of bioidentical hormones, which are chemically identical to the hormones produced by the human body. These hormones are derived from plant sources and are designed to mimic the body's natural hormonal rhythms. The protocol includes the use of estradiol and progesterone for women, and testosterone for men.

Methodology[edit | edit source]

The Wiley Protocol uses a rhythmic dosing schedule, with hormone levels varying throughout the month to mimic the body's natural hormonal rhythms. This is in contrast to most other forms of BHRT, which use a static dosing schedule with the same amount of hormones given each day.

Efficacy and Safety[edit | edit source]

The efficacy and safety of the Wiley Protocol is a subject of debate within the medical community. Some practitioners and patients report positive results, while others express concern about potential risks, including an increased risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. More research is needed to fully understand the benefits and risks of this treatment approach.

Criticism[edit | edit source]

Critics of the Wiley Protocol argue that it lacks scientific evidence to support its claims. They also express concern about the potential for overuse of hormones, which can lead to side effects such as weight gain, mood swings, and bloating.
