"Of course, I'd be lying if I told you that seven would be the highest menopausal symptoms, you'd ever have to deal with, but unfortunately for many women their list is never ending, which updates all too regularly. When thrown into the middle of my worse tidal waves of the menopause, I don't think I ever felt so dispassionate for my body, life, or for the people I had loved and cared about all my life. No one mattered not even me.
"If you're a woman who's planning to live past the age of 35, at some point you're going to face hormone imbalance. All women need to be armed with this information." Oprah, made clear on her TV show about 'Hormone Replacement Therapy - Beginning the Conversation.
So you can understand just how insufficient hormones are so debilitating, Dr Christiane Northrup Defines Menopause and Hormones.
Declining Hormones
- Menopause: permanent end of menstrual periods
- Peri-Menopause: the transitional phase that leads to menopause; typically lasting 5-8 years; begins around 45
- Symptoms: trouble sleeping, mood swings, hot flashes, irregular periods, night sweats, irritability
- Estrogen: the hormone that prepares the egg for ovulation and the body for pregnancy: HIGH = bloating, weight gain, headaches, water retention, breast tenderness LOW = hot flashes, vaginal dryness
- Testosterone: the hormone that controls libido and sexual function: HIGH = aggressiveness, facial hair, increased sex drive LOW = mood swings, low sex drive
- Progesterone: the hormone that calms and prepares the body for pregnancy: HIGH = sleepiness, depression, lethargy LOW = irritability, pms symptoms.
Self Help
Dr. Northrup also suggested being conscious of diet, exercise, amount of sleep, caffeine and alcohol as all can effect hormone levels. Be in tune with your body to understand when things have changed and seek help when needed from your doctor and request special hormonal tests, if you suspect that your hormones are declining.

On the previous HRT episode, viewer Michelle was given the opportunity to visit Dr. Prudence Hall with Robin McGraw for a hormone assessment. The results came back with Michelle as follows.
Estradiol: normal= 200; Michelle= 7
Progesterone: normal= 10-20; Michelle= .3
Testosterone: normal= 50-80; Michelle= 24
These hormones would have continued diminishing, had Michelle not sought holistic help.
Something for you to think about. Bioidentical Hormones is restoring women's lives every day!!
“I feel like I’m 18 again. Hot flashes are gone, my sex drive is back and there is a new spark in my marriage! It’s been wonderful. My husband is also on the program. He looks so much younger — he lost fat, has more energy and we have chemistry again. We both love the Anti-Ageing program” ~ Jodie, Charlotte
Taking bioidentical hormones, Somers writes, "I started to feel relief immediately. I began to sleep better, the hot flashes subsided, and slowly my sex drive returned. My thinking also got better, and the horrible itch on my legs went away."

Just one of many women experiencing a sexual revolution with BHRT
''BHRT has given many emotional and physical advantages that I found amazing enough, but I hadn't dreamed I would desire sex again, let alone feel a powerful urge and drive. Last weekend, I had a wonderful sexual experience again, and I said to my husband, maybe I will die of cancer, but I'll have had wonderful sex in the meantime.” Anonymous
