I often get asked my opinion about women using BHRT since I work in functional medicine and personally use BHRT. Remember, I’m a health coach NOT a licensed allopathic medical provider (thankfully, so I can teach freely.)
My response: If you need it you need it. If you’re fearful, deal with fears first. Literally… do not pass this point!
The hormones are messed up because of fear and stress likely. Usually. Often. The vast majority of times for most. Stress and bad diet and poor sleep = hormone imbalance. You can reverse engineer this to have health.
However, if you want it because you aren’t taking care of yourself, stressing, a “pleasures of the flesh” type lifestyle even on a budget, and you still intend to live that same lifestyle of vain non-caretaking (I do not sugar coat anything, much less a wise message), I’d advise just having low hormones. Otherwise that worldly lifestyle makes the added hormones act like a lit match to a gasoline soaked mattress. You’ll need a caretaker much too soon if you don’t caretake yourself.
So, I’m a fan of BHRT but I’m a bigger fan of true self-care. Not hair, nails, gossip, clothes and fillers as self care. But walking, silence, dancing, playful times, singing, laughing, leisure, great s*x, nature, etc. As in “in the world, but not of it.” Not following the allopathic mainstream and agency suggestions for sick care management. Why manage sickness? I’m a fan of true healed balanced health of mind, body, spirit and soul.
Do your own research. Do not trust anyone else. Be honest with yourself. A lie only hurts You personally. It’s your body and your life. Do not pass that responsibility off to anyone else.
