If you haven’t yet taken steps to prevent it, you are probably eating hormones along with your dinner.
Food manufacturers widely use hormone-mimicking chemicals. Incredible to me, the FDA not only allows this, but also claims that this practice is safe. How could anyone know this? These chemicals send powerful and confusing messages to the [...]

If you are a woman 50 or older, you’ve probably felt “the change.” Occasional hot flashes, missed menstrual periods, night sweats, and irritability are just a few of the common signs of the transitional to menopause.
Like puberty, menopause is a natural stage of life. But you don’t have to live with the discomfort [...]

Given the success of Viagra for men, it’s no wonder that drug companies are jumping for joy over their latest big rollout—a sex drug for women called Intrinsa. A new study shows that Intrinsa significantly improves sexual desire and satisfaction in menopausal women. But don’t jump on the bandwagon just yet…
What you won’t [...]

All the hormone replacement (HRT) media coverage has completely missed something. Those things they’ve labeled as HRT aren’t actually hormones at all. They’re drugs and if you take them, you’re not “replacing” anything.
The reason those supposed HRT studies seem so contradictory is because Premarin, Provera and Prempo have never been in your body. [...]

Well, Intrinsa stalled before it ever left the gate. Today I’ll show you why. You’ll see the problems with this patch. And, [...]

The problem with HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy is that it’s none of the above. What I mean is this. The pharmaceutical products billed as HRT aren’t hormones at all and by taking them, you are not actually replacing anything.
Real hormones are available. They are safe when used appropriately. They are very [...]

Did you know that calcium supplements won’t save you from developing the bone-breaking disease osteoporosis? The National Osteoporosis Foundation estimates that almost 44 million Americans have decreased bone density. That’s half of all men and women over age 50!
The medical community has ingrained into all Americans that the best way to treat and [...]

Dear Member:
The hottest topic in medicine today is the issue of hormone replacement for women. It is important because your hormone levels decline and cause the changes of aging and menopause. These changes are entirely responsible for osteoporosis and at least partially responsible for the increased risk of heart disease in post-menopausal women.

When you hear the word “testosterone”, you probably think of men. Today I’m going to show you how testosterone affects women.
