Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy success story

I have a success story I'd like to share with you.

A 49-year-old woman recently came to our medical clinic for typical menopausal symptoms. She liked the idea of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy so we gave her a complete medical examination, which verified that various hormones were low, and began her treatment.

Also, our examination discovered her cholesterol was 305, very high for heart disease and other illnesses. Our Dietary Counselor created a nutritional regimen for her, and we started her on an exercise program.

Within four months her cholesterol was down to 195 and within perfect normal range -- without any traditional cholesterol-lowering medications (typically known as statins). She also lost 11 pound in those four months.

Feel free to ask any questions in this forum or share your stories.
