Does anyone know of a drug store or Apothacary that will do the testing and formulate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in Nashville or surrounding areas?
Hey Donna JO
O'm not sure about the safety of Bioidenticals. I did not want to take anything internally. So I went to an endocrinologist. He put me on a patch called Vivella.
I think any RX drug has dangerous side effects. I am learning to use more natural herbs.
How You Can Effectively Control Menopausal Symptoms
Janice McAllister
Many doctors are quick to prescribe hormone replacement therapy or HRT’s as a way to deal with uncomfortable symptoms; however vitamins and other natural supplements are turning out to be a great alternative for women. For thousands of years Asian women have used herbs to ease their transition into menopause. With the recent cardiovascular and breast cancer issues associated with synthetic hormone replacement therapy or HRT, it is comforting to know there are promising alternative treatments. Herbal supplements can also act on estrogen receptors to boost their function without causing the dangerous cell proliferation that HRT presents. This is important because cell proliferation spreads breast cancer cells.
So if you are a women dealing with menopause or are just planning ahead to when nature takes its change of course, know your options. Alternative medicines have been used for centuries and can be a trusted alternative.
So here is the list of products, which we hope you will find helpful.

September's workshop will be from a visiting doctor who specializes in Bio-Identical Hormones. You do not want to miss his presentation. Come with lots of questions!
I am trying to bypass all the "drugs" pregnant mare urine and such. I want to find a place that compounds these vitimins and minerals according to my body's needs to stop the hot flashes and weight gain. I saw this on Dr. Phil, Robin had chosen a few women to take to the center she was going to and it worked very well according to the women chosen after 3 months on the therapy. It cost $700 per person and they did a blood workup and physical. I called the wellness center here and they want in excess of $7000 to do the same thing. uh..no.
