Why do I need Hormones?
It is essential to ensure your hormones are in check, as this greatly affects your mind and body. Replacing them when necessary is paramount to your health and wellness. Estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, thyroid and DHEA are the hormones every woman should maintain for physical, mental and physiological health. Hormone replacement can be delivered with creams, pills, sublingual troches and pellets.
