I can sleep at night because I have no more night sweats or restless legs. I feel that BHT has made me age much more slowly than without.

I went through the change when I was 45 years old. I gained over 50 pounds and slept horribly. I was always tired and had very little energy. Then I started hormone replacement therapy and I lost the 50 pounds and feel so much better. I sleep at night and have good energy. I am now 60 and feel that I am in better health than ever.

I do so much better with compounded cBHT than traditional hormone therapy as my body accepts it better and I feel much better on the compounded therapy than traditional therapy.

Hot flashes are totally gone, sleep is much better, anxiety that accompanied severe hot flashes is gone. Lower anxiety and better sleep allows healthier waking hours, i.e. improved energy levels, better task focus at work and at home, healthier interpersonal relationship interactions. Aside from these specifics, my overall health goals have been profoundly affected. I have found a personal motivation to continue engagement in an attitude of life-long learning on this topic. For example, my health care provider(s) know to expect thoughtful questions at each visit. This is very good- and began years ago when I realized that choosing cBHT was controversial, but did not understand why this was the case. I continue to learn and be an enthusiastic advocate for my health. Thank you.

I use a progesterone cream because genetically I am prone to bloodclotting and can not take estrogen. The progesterone has been a life saver for me - helps with sleep, fatigue, hot flashes and mood...I really don't know what I would do without it! Thank you!

The Progestrone and Testosterone cream has helped my post menopausal depression issues. I am much happier and energetic with these natural suplements my body no longer produces. This is necessary to have access to these from Apothecary!

I suffered from estrogen dominance for years and was put on several different conventional birth control pills. But those pills didn't help me. I dealt with anxiety and panic attacks as well as night sweats, ovarian cysts, fibroids in my breasts and uterus, severe mood swings and lack of energy in addition to several other symptoms that I didn't even realize were related to estrogen dominance. I finally found a doctor after years of searching, that listened to me and my symptoms. This doctor prescribed bioidentical progesterone and within a month my symptoms were gone. I was unable to work due to the anxiety. Other doctors wanted me to take anti anxiety medications. I tried a couple but they only made me feel worse. Finally after 10 years, I feel like me again due to bioidentical progesterone! I am so thankful that it has given me back my life!

My husband and I started a new business in a new state where we did not know anyone and selling products that we knew little about. Kind of a mid-life adventure. So..of course a lot of stress came with this new opportunity and it took many years to finally break even. In the process, I started my change at the age of 50, so that was normal. But the stress and worry caused major problems so I was unable to sleep but a few hours and became very emotional to the point that I could only talk with people for a few minutes or start to cry. I became sensitive about everything and finally starting talking about it with a lady at church and her husband was a pharmacist for a compound pharmacy. The pharmacist referred me to a doctor who wrote the prescription for cBHT. After two years of wearing out my body and mind, I took the the Estrogen cream (which was a combination of three estrogens) and within one week, I felt happy again and could sleep, think and respond to our customers in a normal way. It totally changed my life and our business life grew from that point. I continued to take the product for another five years until I felt I was over my change and it was the best thing I have ever did to improve my health and well-being.

I've been taking a bioidentical hormone replacement at least 10-15 years. I started shortly after I had a total hysterectomy. I've had a great deal of benefit with hot flashes, sweating and sleep disturbances. Since I'm sensitive to a lot of medications, because of food sensitives, this treatment is a godsend.

I was having major problems as I became post menopausal. I couldn't sleep, weight gain, bladder infections, feeling depressed and worried. My doctor put me on the TS Wiley Protocol hormone replacement therapy. Within a month all my negative symptoms from my post menopausal phyiscal state disappeared. I was extrremely upset that when I moved to Minnesota, I could not get this therapy but at least I was able to continute with a different type of hormone replacement therapy and my body easily adjusted to it. I absolutely need this therapy to stay happy and healthy and don't believe that the FDA has the right to take this away from me.

I had a hysterectomy at a young age and have a need for HRT. I tried the standard synthetic hormones and they caused me adverse reactions which either didn't help me or made me worse, so I stopped taking them. Plus, I am concerned for breast cancer on synthetic medications. I spent years in an emotional rollercoaster mess. Without HRT I was difficult to be around and felt terrible. A friend told me about cBHT and it has been an absolute miracle for me! Not only is my body handling compounded hormones perfectly, but my body is able to absorb it in a balanced manner with no adverse reactions. I feel GREAT, am healthier, happier and no longer a emotional mess. Knowing it's more natural and a true match to what my own body creates is another huge plus. Without cBHT I would be a mess and absolutely devastated as I would/could never go back on synthetic hormones again. Please don't take away what is working GREAT for millions of us!

Sex is painful when in postmenopause. The cBHT cream makes it not painful, which saves most marriages.

I had a full hysterectomy at 35 years of age. I tried regular HRT for several years before switching to bioidentical compounded medications and it has been a life-saver. I deeply hope I can keep my current prescriptions that help to provide a better quality of life.

cBHT has literally saved my life! I went two years without sleeping more then three hours per night. My nights consisted of being so hot I thought I would burn alive. I changed clothes 2-3 times per night. Nothing I took (Melatonin, doctor prescribed sleeping Rx...) helped. After a period of time, I could not think straight, I could barely function during the day and I was an emotional mess. My legs swelled up and were in pain. The minute my feet hit the floor, there was intense pain in my legs. I had no libido. In fact I was completely dried up. Prior to menopause, I had a libido much like a man's! Now in my late 40's it was the furthest thing from my mind. Even if I thought about sex and wanted to try, nothing would happen. I had lost the ability to climax. My entire life I was a pretty low-key, nice person and suddenly I became someone who was enraged at everything. I yelled at my husband and to this day I can't believe I am even still married. My PCP said I was depressed. Yes, depressed because I was not sleeping for two years. Depressed because I was hot all the time! Depressed because I was someone unrecognizable. He wanted me on an antidepressant and said many women get relief with Prozac. These things were not happening to me because I was depressed. I was depressed because these things were happening to me. I don't care that some women get menopausal relief from Prozac, I refused to allow someone to make me feel that my issue was mental/brain chemicals vs. hormones. I was a walking nightmare due to HORMONES. When I was young, my mom said my grandmother became someone no one wanted to be around when she was a teenager and it was due to my grandmother's menopause. When my Aunt went through it, her doctor flat out told her she was having a mental breakdown rather then acknowledging her hormones. My own mother had a partial hysterectomy in her late 30's due to fibroid tumors. In her 50's she too became someone no one wanted to be around. For years...she then started Premarin which helped some but also gave her side effects. My mother changed for the worse. I had a history of ovarian cysts and endometriosis. Since both conditions feed off high estrogen, it was safe to say my entire adult life my body was used to high levels of estrogen. Therefore, just a drop of it would give me symptoms. However, mine was nearly non-existent, as well as my testosterone. It has taken a long time of close contact with my OB/GYN and frequent blood tests to get my levels to a point where I feel "normal". However, even prior to feeling normal, I was great compared to my 2-3 years of misery. Hormones fluctuate, so changes to my cBHT are made from time to time. I can't even express how grateful I am for these medications. I feel they saved me from serious mental issues and saved personal relationships. In my humble opinion, more research needs done and when it has been, the world will know how effective this treatment is. Even if I could have take a medication like Premarin, I would have been hard pressed to. It is a drug that is manufactured inhumanely. My husband also is extremely grateful for me receiving these treatments. He is also considering getting checked out and possibly starting some for men.

I was premenopausal in my early thirties. My moods were a mess, I could not sleep and had hot flashes. I searched for a provider that could offer me natural hormones and found one that did. I have been on my BHT for over 15 years. I am so thankful them and that I do not deal with those issues any longer.

It helps me feel better.

I was unable to take any hormones that didn't affect me negatively until my doctor prescribed my compounded hormone replacement. It has made a huge difference in my life.

I am 68 years old. Fatigue, brain fog, lack of concentration, having little joy in my life WAS my life. I have seen incredible improvement in all these areas in having taken bioidentical hormones for only 10 weeks. Each person on the planet is absolutely unique in every way! The hormones were personalized by my exact need and FIT THE BILL! I am so grateful for The Apothecary and their work. They value each individual and truly DO meet individual needs. With all my heart, I believe knowledge of compound identical hormones needs to be spread everywhere! It is amazing! It has improved the quality of my life tremendously...more than any other medication I have ever taken. It is a gift to mankind. I believe in it.

My wife was experiencing early menopausal symptoms and we visited a holistic doctor to see if there was something to help her. We both ended up becoming patients and started with cBHT and it greatly enhanced both of our lives. I went off cholesterol medication, lost weight and feel better and my wife also experienced beneficial results.
