Why Hormone Replacement Therapy For Women
|
As women age, hormone imbalance can wreak havoc on both physical and emotional well-being. For women, pre-menopause may start as early as in the 30s. In fact, often hormone imbalance kicks in long before hot flashes do-by 10-15 years!
The laundry list of symptoms due to non-optimal hormones is long. And, unfortunately most practitioners will tell you that your hormone levels are just fine. That's because the range for women's hormones is calculated at "just good enough" and not optimal. When your hormones are not optimized, this can lead to the VERY common and unexplainable symptoms many women describe. |
