Going through menapause I lost the ability to sleep through the night, gained 20lbs, and lost all motivation for activities, My moodiness and lethargic behavior became an issue in my marriage and we separated on a trial basis. I saw a practitioner for bio identical hormones and worked with my compounding nurse to optimize hormone balance through blood work and symptoms over a period of 3 months that was 5 years ago. Now at 59 my marriage is strong with active sex life, daily exerciser, and best of all sleep like a baby at night. Once when I hadn't filled my prescription last year thought I would go without to see how things would go. By the end of 2 weeks my husband was asking me to please get my prescription renewed as moodiness and sleeplessness were making me miserable. This therapy has been a major quality of life changer for me please don't interfere with the perfectly natural answer for so many aging adults.
