Prior to using the bio-identical hormones, I felt sluggish, unable to concentrate/focus at work, finding the things I enjoyed in life, like bicycle riding, hiking, and other physical activities to be challenging at best.
Since starting the hormone therapy approximately 18 months ago, I feel energetic, able to ride in bicycle races, participate in hiking, snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, and whatever other activities I find with enjoyment and appreciation for life. With less recovery time and fewer aches and pains, the therapy has made a huge difference in my life. Additionally, I'm able to focus at work and am more productive without the struggles I had before the therapy as I age. All of which drive down health care costs. The bio-identical hormone therapy has made a huge improvement in my life.
It is upsetting to me that the FDA would consider removing these products without the proper studies to back them up.
My goal is to stay healthy and live life to the fullest and postpone age-related illness as long as I can.
