As a 56-year-old woman who was very active in all aspects of life, I had suddenly lost my drive to do anything. When I went through menopause at 53, I had a relatively easy time of it…and it was business as usual. Or so I thought. I slowly started to notice that I couldn’t open a jar or water bottle without a struggle. I had a spare tire developing. I was sluggish after doing minor tasks, and I went to bed at 8 pm, like a toddler. I was working out, eating clean, joined a gym, and worked out a minimum of three times a week. Still, I was gaining weight,t and I witnessed the continued diminishment of my muscle mass and tone. It was turning to flab. I didn’t feel like me anymore.
I had heard of BHRT after reading several of Suzanne Sommers’ books. It was time to research this for myself because I was too young to be feeling and looking this old! I began BHRT with Dr. Bodok in July 2016. It has completely transformed my life. Dr. Bodok put me through a series of comprehensive blood tests like nothing I had ever experienced before. I learned so much about my body, and further, I was shocked to find out that I had absolutely no hormones left in me! Hormones regulate over 1000 systems in the human body,y and I was on empty! The fact that I was even functioning is a miracle of biology.
Dr. Bodok eased me into the therapies incrementally. I meet with her every 3 months after re-doing those enlightening blood tests to monitor progress. I have drive–in all departments, no more brain fog, increased energy, balanced mood, happy disposition, strength, muscle tone—you should see my biceps and quads! For the first time in my life, I have the body I’ve always wanted…I wish I had known about BHRT in my youth when I was struggling with PMS, bloating, cramps, and mood swings that left me reeling. I highly recommend this therapy to all women who feel as I once did: We are too young to feel this old.
