yes, she's written a few books on anti-aging and health. she swears by bioidentical (natural) hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), and so do a few other people (men and women) I know in real life. but, I have a lot of my own research to do on the matter. what works for some isn't necessarily the best for others, or for me.
John Rudy - as far as I know, most doctors do not know much about or prescribe BHRT - they are natural compounds, not a synthetic drug, and not fda approved. and not mainstream at all. from what I have heard, you must find doctors specializing in women's health who prescribe a comprehensive plan involving BHRT or HRT, along with nutrition, exercise, etc. also, the compounds are highly individualized. so, apparently if you go this route with the right doctor/specialist, then you must commit to lots of follow up until you find the right levels for you. and then its a lifelong regimen which probably requires adjustment from time to time. that's about all I know at this point. except that I have learned that depleted hormones can lead to disease, as well as a host of other symptoms I'm only beginning to experience. so, I'm ready to do the research.
I believe its worth checking it out with various docs specializing in women's health. which is why I am asking if anyone has had any personal experience or indepth knowledge on the subject. or any new information on synthetic HRT is also relevant to this matter. thanks.
