I recently had my hormone levels checked to see how my body is responding.<\/p>\n<p>I learned that my testerone levels were too high (which may be why I was noticing more hair in my hairbrush than normal). So, we went to a lower dose and I immediatly noticed a stop in the hair loss. I was never losing enough hair to be concerned, but it&#8217;s nice to know it wasn&#8217;t simply aging creeping up on me!<\/p>\n<p>My progesterone levels were still too low, so that was increased. This should help me\u00a0sleep better. Only a couple weeks after this adjustment\u00a0I have indeed already noticed it. I&#8217;m sleeping throughout the night now and the quality of rest is fabulous.<\/p>\n<p>My estrogen levels were right on target so no change there.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;ve noticed lots of benefits to being on bio-identical hormones.\u00a0I have lost weight which seemed impossible before the hormones. It&#8217;s true I&#8217;ve been exercising\u00a0and watching my balance of foods, but it just seemed to come off\u00a0 much easier now that my hormones are back. I rarely have hot flashes &#8211; a big relief to say the least! As I mentioned earlier, I&#8217;m sleeping better, feeling more alert and mentally balanced. My energy levels are wonderful. Overall I&#8217;m really happy that I\u00a0went ahead and gave bio-identicals a try. I&#8217;ll let you know how my next blood test goes and if there are any changes. Until then, you may want to condsider giving bio-identicals a try!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just wanted to give a quick update on my experience with bio-identical hormones.
