About this title

From the Author

A woman's hormone profile is as unique as her fingerprints.
Dear Reader, Conventional HRT consists of using standard, one-size-fits-all doses of synthetic hormones or hormones derived from animals. With this approach, the same doses are given to all women, regardless of what their individual needs are or whether they feel well taking them. My twenty years of experience in women's medicine and hormone management have shown me that this is an outmoded, ineffective, and even potentially harmful way to prescribe hormones. Women don't all wear the same size shoes, so why should they all take the same dose of hormones? It's simple-they shouldn't. Women all cope with stress differently, they all experience life differently, and they all utilize hormones differently. The conventional approach to hormone replacement therapy does not take this individuality into consideration. Individualizing and monitoring your replacement therapy is an approach to hormone restoration that enables you to make informed decisions about your health and your hormones based on what is right for you. When you know just what you need, and you take it in a way that is designed specifically for you, hormone restoration can have a powerful and positive effect on how you feel, how you think, how you act, even how you look! Women are living longer today than ever before. In fact, if you live past your fiftieth birthday, you can reasonably expect to live well into your eighties. That means you will spend nearly half of your life in perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. There is substantial scientific evidence demonstrating that hormone replacement can be used over the long term to prevent chronic degenerative diseases. Whether you are thirty-something, forty-something, fifty-something, or beyond, some of the most pressing health concerns you have may be hormone related. One of the most important decisions you will ever make about your health care is whether or not to take hormone therapy. Is it right for you? I hope The HRT Solution will help you make that decision.
