I have been reading alot about "natural hormones" versus "bio-identical hormones. Anyone have experience here?

The "regular " hormones so many of us are taking supposedly relieve your symptoms, but don't replace your lost hormones. "Bio-identical" hormones supposedly do. This is supposed to help you in amazing ways with ageing and all types of health problems that happen as we age. In theory, we don't have to accept all these ageing problems if we use "bio-identical" hormone treatment. Does anyone have any information on this?

I don't know much. I know I tested low on progesterone, and it was causing DUB (dysfunctional uterine bleeding). I used wild yam cream, because the wild yam (from South America) contains natural progesterone.

I do know that a lot of hormonal problems stem from overproduction of the hormone insulin. I highly suggest every woman become informed on how high insulin (hyperinsulinemia) affects the feminine hormones, because of the effects on fertility, ovarian cysts, and PMS, and all this is in addition to it being the precursor to diabetes and other blood sugar imbalances.

For basic information on blood sugar imbalances, check out www. hufa. org.
