I struggled for two years with intense menopausal symptoms and tried just about all the hormone replacement therapies, which made me feel really sick. Finding bioidentical hormones changed my life and the results were observable, literally within the second day of use. I slept through the night (the first time in years), my libido was back to "normal" within three days, the texture of my skin improved, I could find my words again... and just felt so much better. I am a clinical psychologist and bioidentical hormones enhance my energy levels to where therapists half my age cannot keep up with me. This has been an absolute life saver for me and I do not have enough words to sing the praises of bioidentical hormones. We all experience menopausal symptoms or hormone imbalances differently and to prescribe the same amount of estrogen, progesterone, etc. (as is the case in hormone replacement therapy) for every one is really ridiculous.
