You absolutely can! At EmpowHer we absolutely want you to take charge of your own health care, do the research and learn what's right for you and your own body, especially when you are working with doctors. But some women do not have the time to do all the research and would appreciate knowing that women's doctors with years of experience have put together a formula; in that case, we want that information to be available too. I don't object to any of that. I only object to such things as websites that promote "miracle cures" without sources or basis for their research, websites that take advantage of people who are suffering with symptoms.
Every woman is such an individual that no one combination or formula will work for all of us. I'm so sorry that you're still struggling with hot flashes and mood swings. Perimenopause and/or menopause can be at best confusing and at worst misery-making. Women who write to our site about hormone replacement therapy, diet, nutrition and supplemental ways to deal with their symptoms have many different experiences. We're all in this together, I guess is what I'm saying. And if we can help you personally with any questions or research, don't hesitate to ask!
