Seven years ago I was pre-menopausal but didn't realize it. I was struggling with very low energy, wasn't sleeping and became depressed. I had a teenager still at home who was struggling in school and he needed a mom who was at her best, not one that could barely make it through a day. I also run a business that provides the main income for our household. Normally, I embrace challenges and love to be stretched in the business world. But during this "dark" time I became despondent and didn't care about goals or growth in any form. I also lost desire to make a difference in the lives of others. I simply quit caring. My friend suggested I visit her clinic. I was introduced to bioidentical hormones as an option. My Nurse Practitioner educated me and gave me many choices. I chose cBHT. Through multiple tests, we worked together to find the right combination of progesterone, estrogen and testosterone. I'm so grateful for the care I received and the options provided to me. I truly got my life back, my marriage and family are stronger and my business is growing due to the changes in my health because of cBHT. I have multiple friends who I have referred to the same clinic. We often talk about how grateful we are for cBHT options and how much it's affected our lives. Honestly, I fear what my life would be like without.
