I think this is what Suzanne Sommers writes about in her last book. Dr. Phil's wife used that same strategy to survive her menopause too, I think. The theory is to replicate the hormone levels you had as a younger woman ~ thus, the term bioidentical hormones.
Suzanne Sommers swears by it.
I recently read some research indicating that there may be a connection between the development of asthma and menopause ~ especially in lean women.
Which I am.
So, I am curious about what others of us know of these treatments, too.
DHEA, the precursor for both estrogen and testosterone, is something I am wondering about, too. I have heard it can lead to excess testosterone (and therefore, worsening symptoms) in females though, so I am a little leery of it.
