I have been taking bioidentical hormones (progesterone, testosterone, and recently BiEst) for nearly 5 years (and I do not have a uterus). The improvement in my health is astonishing....off five medications in the first two weeks of treatment, eliminated my hot flashes, acid reflux, restless leg syndrome and seasonal allergies. I have more energy than at any time in my adult life. The hormones, along with regular weight bearing exercise and Vitamin D supplementation, cured my osteopenia. And oh, yes, I am now down 120 pounds from my high weight. The "second hormone" referenced in the article above is progestin, which is NOT THE SAME as progesterone. If anyone would like a list of resources to help you find a doctor in your area who practices with bioidenticals, as well as a list of recommended reading on the subject, please feel free to drop me an email at [email removed by moderator to protect your privacy]. Best wishes to all for hormonal health.
